How do I uninstall a game I have installed on my PDA and no longer want there?
have you looked in remove programs in settings like on a pc ?
if it's not there then i guess you can just delete the dir

Hi i want to uninstall a program, co pilot as i installed in main memory when it should be on the sd card.
How do i do this so far i have deleted the co-pilot folder in program files, the shortcut in statmenu\program files and the registry keys in HKLM\software\apps\copilot
but still it asks me to uninstall when i go to run the cab again! which it then proceeds to hang on until i kill the process (probably not the best idea)
hope you can help me out
there is a way to uninstall programs.. and deleting folders isn't it.
try using SKtools to remove the remains.. maybe it'll work.
if not.. install Co pilot again and uninstall using SKtools or thru the uninstall file (which should be in the Co pilot dir (to my knowledge))
SKTools is probably the easiest option for you.
The app is corrupt and I cant open or uninstall it.
I tried to use adb to uninstall it, but it just said "failure"
I used the perma-temp-root and Root Uninstaller, but it still wouldn't let me uninstall the app.
Using ES File Manager, I manually found all *vvm* in the /system/app and /data/app and /data/data folders and either deleted or renamed the files and folder.
Finally after that I was able to install TMO VVM from the market and get it working again.
What a PITA!
Please note:
The reason for that is the MT4GS has the Visual Voice mail built in.
To access it go to:
Phone > Voicemail
When you download the app from the store, it will work temporally after which it will automatically get corrupted /deleted.
I installed the one from the market by accident a as well. You need to temp root and use titanium backup to uninstall it. Then use the one built into the phone

To do this, your phone has to be rooted and you have to install 'Root Explorer' from the Market. Then; follow this steps:
1. Open Root Explorer
2. Go to the root (a '/' is shown in the upperleft corner if you are in root menu)
3. Go to the 'system' folder
4. Inside the system-folder, open the 'app' folder
5. Find the app you want to uninstall, but don't delete it.. Instead, move it to another location so in case something goes wrong, you can move it back.
6. Reboot your phone
The only way(as far as I know) is rooting your device and uninstalling a tool which actually supports this option, normally the stock application manager will not allow this. I have seen this in the forums already so I recommend to do a little more searching.

You forgot to tell you actually need to ROOT the phone to successfully use root explorer
You have to root your phone in order to do that. Most providers put those preinstalled apps in the system directory where you need root permissions.
@incapable: read my post again... i did say that phone must be rooted

yes i saw it, sorry
found rooting my vibrant then using titanium backup did the trick...you can backup the apps then before you remove them...and what I did as I started slowly experimenting with what was safe, is the freeze option in titanium backup...so you can basically keep the apps inactive without having to risk removing them...
so you can see what if any negative affect it may have.
cheers for the replies people
i recently installed app brain
which allows me to manage my apps
i havent tried it yet but it gave me the option to Uninstall the programs i want rid of

You must have ROOT before removing apps by a program.
they should forbid those preinstalled apps. it always sucks..
so titanium backup allows you to back up just apps?

Correct. System apps and user apps. It also enables you to remove them. That includes any manufacturer's bloatware.

you can remove system apps with root browser with root browser goto system/app/and select which system app you want to delete after successfully deletion you need to reboot your mobile
or just install this app called nobloat from google play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...atfree&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd and find which app you want to remove after successfully removed you need to restart your mobile done
Hit Thanks button if this answer helpful for you
I tried ,but some apps still in the device (i uninstalled the apps using titanium) , speedy droid delete all the things of the sony apps, I wouldn't want to do it manually, I'm afraid because I could uninstall wrong things...

If u used Titanium to delete app and if u are viewing the list of apps using titanium, they will still appear in the list but a strike through line indicating that the app has been deleted but backed up in titanium folder. However, if you want the app to be removed cleanly, use Root explorer and delete the app from the System/app folder.
Ok,thanks guys , when I've time I'll try :laugh:
Hi guys,
So I just unlocked my phone using xperifix and I tried to delete all the bloatware using 2 apps I found in the play store but I was unable to. The phone just tells me the uninstall failed and i dont even know why
Any idea why this is happening?
thanks

Titanium Backup is possibly the best app for a rooted phone. It will uninstall any app.
You can go into TWRP, mount System partition, then hit the FileManager under Advanced, and then change permissions/delete files/folders accordingly.
But be careful, there seems to be some wierd dependencies going on in there, and you end up with some random FCs here and there after removing bloat app folders and such.
My personal advice if you want to be free of headaches, just 'freeze' the apps using say 'Advanced Tools' from appstore (my recommended app freezer and general swiss-army tool).
