Hi iv seen loads of people trying to remove stock apps. Due to the eMMC protection the DesireHD/DesireZ/G2 has we are unable to do this at this point. But what we can do is to stop them from running and showing in the app list.
I will use Amazon MP3 as an example :-
1) Find the process name of the APP yor want to disable. You can do this by looking in /system/app for the file name. Or i find this method a lil quicker
From Terminal App or ADB shell type
pm list packages
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and find the process in the list i.e com.amazon.mp3
2) In Terminal App or ADB shell type "pm disable ProcessName" i.e.
pm disable com.amazon.mp3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3) Reboot phone or just the launcher
4) The app wont/cant run (the icon may stay tho.)
All credit goes to others around the web
[UPDATED 27/10/2010] Icon may not be removed
It just reappears in the list when I do this.

Same here too.
Well, I've used 'pm disable *twitter*' - That should work shouldn't it?
Rebooting now
Could you stop Sense from running this way and just use Launcher Pro?
Stock apps
I would be sooo greatfull to get no sence DHD... Im opened to any sugestions and ideas....
you must remember first to type 'su' to get super user permissions, you will know that you have su permissions when the $ turns to a #.
Hope this helps you all.
Credit to others and not me, I'm just regurgitating info that I have sought out.
Yer the icon wont go when in scense but the app cant run anyway so it cant hog RAM/CPU ect.

Hi
Can i disable Sense and the whole sense applications?
I cant find sense in the list.
Is com.htc.launcher the sense launcher?
EDIT:
I have disabled com.htc.launcher but sense is still there.
For those who hate bloatware HTC like me, I created this list:
Code:
su
pm disable com.amazon.mp3/com.amazon.mp3.client.activity.LauncherActivity
pm disable com.amazon.mp3
pm disable com.htc.android.Stock
pm disable com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard
pm disable com.htc.friendstream
pm disable com.htc.ereader
pm disable com.htc.laputa
pm disable com.htc.laputa.HtcLaputaInstaller
pm disable com.htc.connectedMedia
pm disable com.htc.Weather
pm disable com.htc.googlereader
pm disable com.htc.htctwitter
pm disable com.htc.android.mail
pm disable com.futuredial
pm disable com.htc.wdm
pm disable com.htc.recommend
Warning! The list is for those who REALLY hate the Sense and HTC applications: it disables apps like Weather, Ebook reader, RSS Feed reader, Locations, etc.
I have not tested the phone thoroughly after disabling these applications, I hope not to have disabled something vital .
If you know any other application that can be disabled safely, let me know and I will add to the list.
What we could really do with is a list of what each of these actually does.
Even better, can no-one make an app, like the SGS had, which you tap on the app name and it removes it (disables) rather than having to go into console?
Might be a dumb question but does this method require rooting?

This is also the only way to get rid of the stock version Soundhound and Quickoffice? I have purchased these 2 apps and if I install these two I will get 2 icons for Soundhound and 2 for Quickoffice. I have tried Launcherpro - because you can disable apps.. but if I disable the standard Soundhound then It will also disable the commercial version. This is also for Quickoffice!
Anyone got some tips for this 'problem'?

Have the same question ! I'm trying to use VISIONary to get temp root but doesn't work ! I'm getting rooting device , please wait message for over 10 minutes now nothing else
Check if debugging mode is checked in setup/applications.
Yes it is checked otherwise you can't even run the app
the last version of titanium backup is able to totally remove system and/or preinstalled apps, like amazonmp3 etc. tried it and it worked for me, after two reboots the app is completely gone!
all of the above "hacks" didn't work for me (although i am temp rooted with visionary and used the "su" command), but titanium backup did the trick!
version: 3.5.7.3
click and hold on the app, choose "force remove app (by recovery exploit)"
Hi, I just got my galaxy s gt-i9000 and i found that there is some useless program which i cannot uninstall it from the uninstall list. can anyone teach how to uninstall those annoying program?

thanks~
This is an ultimate tool on App management designed for ROOT users. The main function that this app delivers is to uninstall your apps and backup them.
We know that there're tons of other apps on the market could do those jobs fine, so we don't want to make another similar app, we want to make it unique and really makes your mobile life easier.
As the name of this app says, we can uninstall apps silently. Here term "silently" means to uninstall apps without clicking "confirm" again and again! All you need to do is just choose which apps you don't need on your phone and simply click "Uninstall", then leaves the job to us.
This app is designed only works on rooted phones, so you have to root your phones first. If you don't root your phone you cannot use this app.
Also please check out our more apps, including the best and leading file manager app File Expert, which is used by millions of people in the world.
Silent app installation feature is coming soon!
Tags and keywords:
Uninstaller app manager File Expert installer app backup batch operation root explorer silent app uninstaller
Any questions or feature requests, please drop us an email. Thank you.
here's the market link:

Thanks for the info. I'll test the app.
Thanks for the app! Works great on EVO 4G.
Seemed to work great on my EVO. All I ask is a way to see the size of installed apps and to be able to sort apps by things like size, date, name, etc...
Does it also remove system applications?

After install, I went to see if it does indeed uninstall system apps as advertised. It listed no system apps, in fact it didn't even list all 3rd party apps.. I closed the app and went to uninstall but not only is this uninstaller app not listed to uninstall through app manager in another 3rd party uninstaller, it has no drawer launcher icon to reopen the app. Now I have to terminal in to get rid of it. Aside that, the app itself is a very basic uninstaller app that is far better provided in already established apps. Just my experience though.
Post Edit: After rebooting, the app appeared in the app drawer and I was able to uninstall it. Can't uninstall system or bloatware apps? What gives?
Install Manager Pro is a far more comprehensive app management software.

+1 all of these things would be a good addition
Does it remove the Application Data and then the Application? I want to make sure the apps' data is not left behind and also removed!
Usually my procedure is to STOP the app if its runneing, then deleting data, then deleting the app. I always want to make sure, nothing is left behind. Some uninstallers just remove the main app but leave data files behind... just trash!

If you make it to remove system apps, it will be the perfect product. You are already using the root features, why not make it complete? I will donate, once you implement this feature.
Not buying a new $900 Unlocked smartphone only to have Facebook locked into the OS of my new smartphone. If HTC wants to improve sales numbers and get more people to buy their smartphones they should not perinstall crap on there that that end users can not uninstall. Disable feature is BS. Those that want Facebook can download app on their own from App Store. Forcing things upon ends users means people will not buy your smartphones. HTC should sell some clean cut Google smartphones with stock OS on them with no other BS preinstalled

Root it in 60 seconds easy as pie and delete the facebook apk (and anything else you dont want)
Please, do not lie.
ROOT is not needed to uninstall ANY app on HTC.
For instance I hate that ugly disgusting thing popping up at the bottom of the screen after making screenshot - within 3 seconds I uninstalled it:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.htc.screencapture
Basically in 15 minutes using GOOGLE to change the package name at the end of command - I uninstalled 50 of pre installed system and non-system bloats (including 3 facebooks) ..

And how will u do that on other phones?
There is no bloatware so I don't need to deinstall. Xiaomi allow to deinstall any app with 2 clicks.
But Facebook is more than bloatware...

Could you upload a screenshot of the option to uninstall Facebook from new HTC U12+ ? To the best of my knowledge only a DISABLE feature is available which is completely useless if you care about privacy.

I didn't lie. My method does work. I never said root was required to delete apps, I simply provided my method. The method you posted is another way without root.

That just essentially removes the ability for that user to see it Or the system to load it in the background. The APK is still on the phone. Either way it's a viable solution that stops the app from running.
Facebook apps are bloated down with bad useless coding.
Uninstall doesn't help. After a reboot it's loaded again!... Had the same problem on my HTC 7. can't remember what i did to COMPLETELY remove it.

No, this will not really uninstall apps in /system partition
disable the facebook app AND the support apps, as those are the ones found to have been spying even if you disabled the main accounts.

Not having it in OS would be good either way. I see that supposedly it was Facebook who decided to pull it.
Mod edit: Quoted post removed.
Sorry but I am neither a bot/troll account nor am I peddling anything for any party. I speak for myself and the products I own myself. At the end of the day any preinstalled and apps that can not be uninstalled is bad for end users who purchase smartphones. Those that want certain apps can download them themselves. We don't need anything forced down our throats to use.
I have a crazy question. This is for a very unique use case (long story).
And here's the crazy part -- it needs to work for Android 4.2.2.
I'm trying to figure out how to uninstall apps programmatically without the user having to confirm each uninstall.
The idea is that the user would select from a list of apps they want to uninstall, then click a button when they're ready and all of those apps would uninstall without bothering the user with a confirmation dialog for each app.
Is this possible? I trying to do this in Xamarin, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Wondering why you try to reinvent the wheel, why not simply - for example - use this?

Thanks,
It's a lot to explain. For one thing, the app needs other features.
It's for a unique use case since these are single-purpose devices.
