Unhappy [Q] Help with uninstalling, deleting application - Titanium

Hello everyone!

I recently rooted by phone and now I've been trying to remove the Vodafone bloat-ware from my handset using the titanium application. Unfortunately after so-called uninstalling, the application still remains, why can it be trashed?

Default The crap strikes back..

You either got to DEBRAND or FLASH to generic to get rid m8, Its vodaphones firmware, but just debrand (i did have a vodaphone x10 until I exorcised the daemon) update to RB2A026, and root, get rid of all the crap, or just debrand and lose the vodaphone crap, but be left with sony ericssons crap lol

Would reflashing the phone with SEUS do the job? Or would i need to achieve this some otber way, sorry I'm not entirely sure how. Is there a tutorial?

Thanks you.

Question The crap strikes back

If you go back a page you will see some links to forum threads, read these, for flashing you will need to have java6 21 (32bit) runtime enviroment (JRE) and java6 21 (32bit) development kit (JDK) installed on your pc (fbrlashing wont work on 64bit OS unless you have them as it doesnt work on 64bit version) when you done that find the thread NEWBIES GUIDE TO ROOT GIVING YOU THE LATEST FIRMWARE, you will only need the first file (this will flash you generic uk rf16 firmware and as such its standard, no vodaphone crap, after that use SEUS to update to R2BA026 and ySeaou can root this, theres a video on one of the threads that shows how to set up the path for the java.

But be aware this voids your warranty, just take time to read the threads ive linked and the NEWBIE THREAD, any q's just ask

heres the link to thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755332

Thanks for the help fellas.

I don't worry about the warrenty thing - one could always claim/demand a replacement if anything should happen to this one. Ain't that why we insure our mobiles?

Anyway, I've managed to debrand my phone by using this tutorial in Win7, took a couple of goes (it's all about timing) then updated the firmware without all the bloatware (only SE stuff) and so far the phone seems to be happy. Now, I'm just about to re-root the phone and take out all the useless crap I don't use before I install the stuff that's actually useful

Curious. Why can't service providers, provide us with mobiles, like they left the facory? I mean, seriously, who actually uses all that crap?? Ain't it like buying a PC laptop and doing a new install minus all the bloat?

Hey guys.. Since updating to 026 I've notice something a little odd, though it doesn't affect the physical workings of the phone.

Under the notifications tab, my mobi always report there's "no service", yet the signal indicator is on max (four bars) !!! The phone continues to work.

Anyone else notice this??
