Power Manager/ Linda File Manager removal

---

I am a total NOOB. I tried the "search" and the "wiki", but found nothing. I was trying different themes this morning, when I noticed that Power Manager and Linda File Manger were installed somehow. Are they part of certain themes??
They're not bad apps or anything. I just don't use/need either one.
I tried App. manager, market, aTrackDog. Nothing will uninstall these apps.

Any suggestions?? Thanks

They are a part of Macdroid...

They really don't take up much space and Power Manager is a great program, and linda is a good file manager...so i dunno, if u like the theme...deal with them...

Just

ls -a /system/app/

and jot down the name of the .apk of Power Manager and Linda and then use

rm -f /system/app/<insert the name that you wrote down here>

to remove them.

get rid of them by all means but you SHOULD need Power Manager at least.
it's a great asset to the phone.

I'm not trying to start anything or tell anybody what to do but if you are installing thems or at that level of install themes (which is easy) than you should also be doing the install/run apps from sdcard mod so you dont have to worry about space and what not. Just my thoughts.

I have macdroid installed and 80+ apps and have 57 MB remaining. Its worth it.

those 2 are probably the most fundamental apps on the phone and they do work pretty magnificently

If you use the above code you will get a permission denied read only. Atleast it happened to me. Even using Su.

you have mount the image and then you can remove them

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock03 /system
ls -a /system/app/
rm /system/app/<insert the file name>

that should worked for me. I just didn't like the way the themed lindamanager icon looked so to get the original i removed to be able to download the one from the market
