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?
I bought from Singapore & it has Amped, inSing, and some useless things. just want to delete all of it.~
thanks~
Just as the subject says... How can I go about removing preloaded apps? Annoying seeing programs running that I've never launched before.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
That's one of the things that requires root privileges on the device, which is not yet available.
It is however possible to disable them. This will not free up the storage space that these apps consume, but it will prevent them from running, displaying anywhere etc. Temp root is required. Once you have the root prompt, type
pm disable <packetnamehere>
Use Quick Info Pro to find the package name of the apps you want to disable. There is a thread about apps which are safe to disable in the Development forum.
You can find the complete guide here:

As said above. You can only disable atm. Removal requires full root.
How can we get rid of the samsung bloatware? I saw few tutorials where we can delete the apps from user profile but can we completely remove them from the device ?
So I'm tired of crap being added to my phone without my consent like Google one it was added recently to my phone and is really annoying when editing photos and now I got this cov*d alerts I really don't want this crap on my phone is there a way to remove them or prevent Google from adding it?

Debloat/Disable System Apps
So you got your new shiny realme device but you hate bloatware or want to disable system apps so you can use 3rd party apps instead? Follow the steps below: THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT HOWEVER MAKE SURE NOT TO DISABLE IMPORTANT SYSTEM APPS. WIPE...

^ Posted in the Realme 7 forum, but it works on every phone I've used.
Search up "package name viewer" on the Google Playstore to get an app that lets you see the name of packages.
