Removing Installed Apps

Is there anyway to remove the installed apps that came with the phone i.e. Roller coaster, create touch, peggie, CA gold rush, and the roadsync apps?

Hi David

It isn't possible at the moment.

We'll have to wait till the phone gets rooted.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm new to this whole Android OS. Using dumbphones all my life.

Since installed apps cannot be removed, it eats up my internal memory space, now how do i install new apps ? Could not find any method to install it on SD card

Any suggestions on how to install on SD card.

settings/applications/manage applications/ select app you don't want/uninstall/

You wont be able to uninstall apps on the ROM of course, but anything installed after the update can be removed.

You'll have to download an app installer for new apps. Place the downloaded APK file in one of the folders contained on the SD card eg./downloads ( done via a USB cable plugged into your computer). Run app installer and it should list all APK files. Depending on the installer, you may have to open the sub directory (folder) you stored the app in.

As far as I know, the only way to install apps on sd card in android is through the root. In other words you need a rooted phone - rooting on the x10 mini/pro hasn't been achieved yet.

It's been rooted now.

How would you go about removing RoadSync and Wisepilot for example?

EDIT: Oops, just saw the other thread, my bad.

To delete preinstalled apps, open up cmd and navigate to 'c:/exploid-x10mini' (like you did when you rooted it.

Then enter the following commands:
adb shell
su
rm -r /system/app/[filename]

The RoadSync filename is simply roadsync.apk

To find what the filename for a specific app is, you can navigate to /system/app from a file explorer on your phone, but you can only delete a file through cmd.
