I try last version of es file explorer and enable root explorer, when i delete superuser.apk i got errer message says can't delete superuser.apk
Wait, why does it force close? It shouldn't. That's what I do for usual apps that disagree with me. But I haven't had the need to remove superuser before. I'm sorry.
You could try using a different browser, but that's all I can suggest.
Are the Superuser.apk and the su-binaries (!) up to date?
You should be able to delete the apk in system/app/ using the ADB:
adb shell
cd system/app
ls
rm nameofapp.apk
reboot
If that all doesn't help you might just do a clean reflash of the rom...
PS: You may also try installing busybox which to fix the problem.

I don't have ES or Astro either, so when I do get the apk I won't be able to browse and install it. Any tips?
If you have an update.zip try to unzip it and taking out vending.apk (or something) that's what I did at least.

You can always install through adb if you have the Vending.apk. Just put the .apk into the tools directory of your SDK and type:
Code:
adb install Vending.apk
(Never tried this, but it should work??)
"adb install Vending.apk" will put the Market into /data/app, it's preferred to have it in /system/app.
So all you have to do is:
Code:
adb remount
adb push Vending.apk /system/app

Is the remount necessary? I've never quite understood what that does. I know it is required to successfully push files, but I've installed just fine without remount.
Also, thanks for the tip on how to install to other directories. I didn't know this was possible, but it makes sense
adb remount, makes /system writable.
Hi there,
I've the same problem, accidently deleted my market.
I've root and everything, though a very minor understanding about the adb.
Could some of you helpful guys give me some step by step instructions, please?
I can't seem to figure out how to remove stock apps using adb? Can anyone list the commands needed to do this?
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/YourApplicationHere.apk

Does this completely remove the app? I mean in particular the listing in the app drawer, as well as in the "Manage Apps" section (if applicable). Also where will app data be stored, if used?
Thanks
yes, completely.
use "adb shell ls -1 /system/app/" to find out the exact name of the app you want to delete, it's caps sensitive.
you can try these 2 programs to remove apps
you should try using android commander or droid explorer. search for them in the forums. they are free and help out a lot.
+ For Droid Explorer: http://de.codeplex.com/ I use this and it is pretty handy. Though you can just be lazy like I usually am and just uninstall apps via Titanium Backup. I haven't tried Android Commander (yet, but maybe I should...) but in interest of being fair, you can find it here: http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-and-Shell/Windows/Android-Commander-93099.shtml and the official site is here, but didn't find it very well laid out (no offense PanPiotr...): http://androidcommander.com/
One other thing if you want to backup the app to your sd use cp /system/apps/appnname /sdcard/backup/appname

Sorry to ask such a noob question, but I just ran Unrevoked 3 and unrevoked forever. Everything seemed to work correctly, but when I try and run androind commander to delete files it says I need root permissions. I saw the superuser permissions icon in my app list, but when I click it nothing happens. Did I miss something?

do you use other apps (setcpu, etc) that require Superuser permissions? any issues with those? if you do have other apps that have SU permissions, then uninstall/reinstall Android Commander... it should then request permission again.
if neither situation applies... use the directions above to remove the Superuser.apk file from /system/app and then go to this thread and download the new Superuser app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
Right now I'm fully unlocked/rooted, but I'm wondering how any of you might have been able to successfully remove/uninstall stock apps? Obviously if this was on my N1 I'd just use TB, but as I'm sure others have found TB is currently unable to detect the apps (unless someone has gotten it to work??).
Thanks, hope someone has a suggestion!
I was able to uninstall them using Better Terminal Emulator. The code is pretty simple:
su
cd /system/app
mv Cordy.apk Cordy.apkb
mv DungeonDefenders.apk DungeonDefenders.apkb
exit
exit
This only changes the file type so the don't show up. If you want true uninstall (irreversible) use:
su
cd /system/app
rm Cordy.apk
rm DungeonDefenders.apk
exit
exit
If you want to know file names in the system apps folder, use:
cd /system/app
ls

Ok, just tried this with another terminal emulator, but after entering "/system/app" I get "permission denied". Though it did show that I had superuser permissions after entering su.
I use root explorer. You just click mount r/w and delete or rename or move just like on your computer

[Updated 9/11] Bloadware Freeze List
Instead of deleting it just freeze it. If you want it without all the bloatware just flash a rom.
Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk
I (without heeding the warnings) decided it would be a good idea to delete certain apps (including Hero of Sparta, Lets Golf, etc.) once I got my tablet rooted. Luckily, there are two A500's in my household, so I was able to copy the /system/app directory from the other untouched tablet.
Problem is, I can't seem to copy the directory (or any apps from it) into my tablet. I've used both ASTRO and File Manager HD, but in both, the 'paste' command is greyed out. It's as if I don't have the necessary permissions.
So, what's going on?
did you set the Read-Write permission on that directory?
Post removed
No, thanks for the reminder.
Upon attempting to edit permissions, though, using a terminal emulator, I get an error after typing this:
Code:
su
cd /system/app
chmod 777 /system/app
And the error I get is:
"Unable to chmod /system/app: Read-only file system"

Silly question, but do you have your system rooted?
Yes, I do. Using GingerBreak as I'm still waiting on that 3.1 update

OK, then try a file explorer like Root Explorer and you should be able to set the rights ro R/W and copy your files over.
Root Explorer worked like a charm. I'm suprised File Manager HD doesn't perform those functions. I got a good feeling when I saw that Root Explorer was requesting superuser permission.

Glad to hear that worked. Root Explorer is what I use. Have been for over a year. I think File MAnager HD can also do it, but it is not as straight forward ad Root Explorer. Have fun.
BTW the permission setting 0777 means anyone can access it (or any other application), for the sake of having a better security the permissions should be changed to 445 so only root can access and execute those files (I'm not sure if APKs are considered excutables if they are not the 444 will be the right setting)

Is this code correct
"adb remount
adb push /maps 6.2.0 -mod.apk / system/app"
?
Where should I place the app file?In "platform-tools" folder?
Thank you very much for helping me!

Our on the right path so far.. But the way I've always used adb I kinda dragged everything to the tools folder...I have the library and everything else there...try putting it on our tools folder and see what happens if not check the platform tools.. Just drop the map apk and try it out.

Hmm.. even root explorer.. that's strange you mean mount R/W to R/O in root explorer..
from my end i first did c:\androidsdk then was able to adb push etc...what i could suggest is wait for the signed version.. am on samsung galaxy t989, am at work, i can't really access nothing right now to check with you...i have my mytouch 4g at home...i know you have root access because you said you were able to backup and uninstall using titanium backup.. so i guess you have root access...but try the mount r/w to r/o and see what happens...

You can make the system r/w.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
i know that's not the exact code but it works just fine for me.
