The phone came with a game named NOVA. I can't seem to delete it. Just like some of the standard apps on the phone. To get this off must I root the phone? And why? I mean why would they put a game on the phone but not allow you to remove it?!
That's the way they do it.Root ur phone,then use root explorer and remove it.

Considering this Guy doesn't know how to get rid of it I wouldn't advise him to use root explorer the most noon friendly thing to do is root your phone and use titanium backup to uninstall it make a backup incase you still wanna put it back later

I want to rename the extensions or remove some of the apps in my droid 2 like the Amazon app. I have just rooted the device and installed Epic Unleashed 2.5. What free application(s) allow me to do this? I have seen many threads about removing useless apps via the computer, but I don't want to do this. The lines of code seem intimidating to me . If you can give me a step by step guide and a list of some crappy applications that I can remove I would appreciate it.

I just rooted this morning (first time), then used root explorer from the Marketplace to go into the system/apps folder and add ".bak" to the end of the APK and ODEX files that I wanted gone via the "rename" function. I think root explorer was like $3 or something is all...

None so far all the Root explorers cost something. That's why I stick to my computer because I already paid for it.
It really isn't too difficult and once you develop an understanding of what you are doing you will gain the ability to troubleshoot on your own and create your own fixes or help others with rooting, or exploring new devices that come out.

I just rooted my Droid2 (first timer) and yes you can change the file extensions manually to get rid of them. If you're rooted, you can use Terminal Emulator (free from Market). It's reversible. I just followed these directions: limitlessdroid.com/2010/08/28/rooting-101-bloatware/
Not messing around with it too much.. I only removed Blockbuster.apk.

U can also use titanium backup to remove stock apps. The free version allows u to remove any app providing that u are fully rooted.

Hello Friends,
Does anybody know for sure if it is safe to use an app like root explorer to delete old nandroid backups?
I've got about a dozen backups listed in cwm that I will never use and about 3 that I use to switch between roms. Is it safe to just delete the ones that I don't need? and is root explorer the right app to use?
Thanks for your advice.
Yes, you can delete them. You can use any application or use your computer. Root Explorer will be fine.
There's no reason to keep them unless you want to be able to go back to your setup. I only keep one on my phone, store the ones that I may want to go back to on my computer, and delete the rest.

Thanks. I suspected as much.
can someone tell us if removing bloat thru root explorer will delete the whole app? Iv read that it does and that it doesnt and the apps still show? clarification on this would be appreciated.. thanks much!
I delete my apps using rootexplorer. I go through system/app and delete from there. Also you can use titanium backup and freeze your apps you don't want to use.

Click the Mount R/W button on the top so you can make changes.
I uninstalled them via titanium backup and they don't appear or run.

Can someone give us a list what all bloatware you can remove without damaging the software itself?
I use an app called Root App Remover, one click and they are gone, I recommend it.
App remover works great

Basically, you can use any application that can root uninstall. There's a dozen of them on the market.
Hi, some one can help me ?? I need to remove system app from my HTC incredible, how can I do that ?? Thanks.

Download root explorer. Navigate to system/app and all of the system apps are going to be there. I'd advise moving the app to your sd card instead of straight up deleting it incase you want it later.
Swyped from mah 3vo!

Open Titanium Backup, select "Backup/Restore" (at the top), scroll down to the app you wish to remove, select it, select "Un-install".
Job done

Try this. Found a reference to it the other day on another forum because I wanted to remove Google Books from my phone. Works like a charm, easy, fast, and effective.

yes as jimbo said go to backup restore menu and select the app you wanna uninstall if you press on one app a menu will pop-up choose what you wanna do
Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) also lets you to freeze the app, in case you need it later. For system it's like unninstalling.
But using Titanium Backup, you must have root. Like the deleting with Root Explorer
i have a htc sensation 4g, tmo phone. I am trying to delete this app called DICE and i cant find a way on how to permanently delete it, i dont even use it at all...
CAN SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME....
by the way, the phone is rooted...
Use an explorer like root explorer and go into system\apps. You will find the apps there. Simply delete the apk file and it is gone for good! I am like you. When I flash a rom I delete all the apps I dont need. So far using stock rom 1.50 rooted, I have had it on now for about 36 odd hours and still sitting at 50% battery. Oh the other place you can delete downloaded apps from is \data\apps.

Titanium Backup allows you to delete system apps. I believe you have to enable an option called "Chuck Norris mode" inside it to be able to, though.
Nah you can just click the app in TB and his Delete. Itll ask if you're sure and then it destroys it, regardless of mode.
TB pro lets you freeze apps though, removing them without actually removing them.
