Hi Guys,
Just used "superoneclick" to root my phone.
I have just opened the superuser app but i get the message "no apps in list"
I wanted to be able to use this to delete unwanted apps from my phone.
Or is there another way to get rid of these now its rooted.
(BTW bit of a newbie so simple instructions please lol)
Thanks for your help in advance.
Rob
If you want to remove apps install Titanium Backup from Market
If your phone is rooted, you could try using Root Explorer, then go to the app folder and delete it there maybe? Not sure haven't tried it myself, but it might just work

Hi!
I just got my first Android mobile... yepiiiiii
Only one thing is bugging me:
I know how to uninstall programs that I downloaded or installed from the SD, but how do I unistall games that came with the phone? Those 3 games are: Peggle, CA Gold Rush & Roller Coaster.
I'm new to Andoid, so take it easy
Please help, I'll be very thankful...
If its the same as your big brother x10 just go into settings, applications and select whatever program you wanna take away.
if it that don't work you need root access to take it away, we had that prob with moxier!

I don't know if it's like the bigger x10. But I tried with the program from the setting... It does'nt have any uninstall button.
And yes, I have access to the root with a program that I downloaded from the Android market called Astro file manager.
Help Please!
According to your message, you have removed creatouch from your phone. Can you please tell me the actual app name of creatouch for removing it by root.
Ex. roadsync.apk
I have tried Creatouch.apk and many other ways but could not remove it.
By any chance, do you know the name for CA Gold Rush?
Root access in this case = Superuser access.
The easiest way to do it is to check out this thread, download, install, run the apk on your mini, and it should take care of everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747587
Then the easiest way to remove the apps would be to get something like Titanium Backup, and uninstalling the apps through there...
Yup you need to root to get rid of the very annoying bloatware put on by SE and your carrier. Bugged me when during the last update Tmobile put on another useless app. When will they realise that the beauty of android is that we should get to choose what we have on our phones not them. No-one uses their crappy programmes anyway!!

Hi.
I got shut of it yesterday using Root Explorer and Titanium Back-Up. I used TB to uninstall it, I then went to /data/app and removed the apk, then from /data/app-private, and lastly from /system/app, and now have no trace of it.
Hi Guys,
I am using unlocked version T-mobile Vibrant in INDIA.
You must be aware that apps like amazonmp3, kindle, slacker will be of NO USE here.
I have already Rooted my device + having Root Explorer installed.
Can someone please help me to remove these apps from my phone.
Cheers,
Nikhil

uninstall using titanium backup
Or using root explorer go into the system/app directory and delete anything you don't want.

I don't know if I'm alone on this, but Titanium Backup (free) won't uninstall these apps for me. Something about not being able to locate the .apk file... In any case, I'm sure it'd work with Root Explorer, but haven't had the time to mess w/it (and don't want to pay for it ahead of having the time to play w/it). Guess I'm just hoping for a bloat-free CM next month might remove the need...
Hi all.
I have searched the forum and can't find any method to permanently remove the Vodafone pre-installed apps from my DHD.
I have used VISIONary to root and have tried Root Explorer and Titanium Backup to remove the programs, either apk's or Uninstall.
All seems find until the phone is rebooted and the apps are restored.
Does anyone know how to stop that happening? Is there some startup script that checks and unpacks?
Or else, is the fact I am temp-rooting in VISIONary something to do with it?
Many thanks in advance to anyone that can help remove this bloat!
I will put a custom rom on later, Cyanogen, but want to hold off on that for a bit.
if you're only doing it until you put on cyanogen, i'd just freeze the apps. that stops them showing in the drawer.
You need to root AND s-off. Follow the guides in the development forum and then you can remove stock apps. The htc bootloader resets itself and reverts to stock so you need a modified bootloader. It's very easy. Just follow the guides.

Thanks to both.
For now I have frozen the apps with Titanium Donate as they are more annoying than damaging.
I will hold of rooting for a bit longer too, usually until I hit some issues or lack of updates.
Again, a big thanks.
I've got a Vodafone/A1 branded Desire HD, and was using Visionary Temproot & the free version of Titanium backup to force uninstall all the branding apps I didn't like.
Worked for me.
In Visionary:
.) Run visionary.sh after root - checked
.) Set system r/w after root - checked
press "Temproot now"
Titanium backup:
Select application and keep finger on it until context menu appears \ force app delete(through recovery exploit)
Just make sure you know what you're doing, I can't see an option to reinstall these apps.
If you reboot your phone these apps will return. Without S-OFF, any pre-installed bloatware will return.

If you do what he says, the apps will remove, but this can be time consuming, to do it individually for each app too.
Yes, I will do that for any apps that chomp resources.
Didn't realise about long press until later
Cheers all.

You can also use root explorer.

thank guys... i move the file to sd card, used application installer and install the apk. everything work well now..
Just wanna thank too as I just accidentally deleted it after flashing my phone.
Thanks.
I have tried uninstalling them through multiple apps in the playstore and it always says failed. I am rooted and I want to use the stock rom for now until the data issues are patched. I have disabled the apps I just don't want the on my phone. The facebook apps you can't disable the update. I don't trust facebook and I don't want anything to do with it on my phone so if anyone know's how to remove them please let me know. Thank you.

BEFORE READING, MAKE A BACKUP PRIOR TO THIS ANSWER:
I'm sorry to say, but it would need to be done using the file manager via TWRP. It is a lil tricky because it lacks concise deletion. So it is best to use a rooted file explorer (es file explorer is beneficial for this) and look around these locations:
/system/app
/system/priv-app
/oem/app
/oem/priv-app
Each folder holding the apk must be deleted individually in TWRP's file manager, or you WILL face a possible soft-brick.
Good luck.
(The reason why is, because the oem section is more secure to avoid a break of the phone itself, so it will freeze everytime while the actual OS is in use. Doing it via TWRP ensures deletion and avoiding a freeze bc the recovery OS is different from stock OS)
