[Q] how to uninstall system Apps (f.e.Flickr) ?

---

is there a way to uninstall system apps like FLICKR service?
Maybe via console?

Via ADB with the phone in recovery.

adb shell mount /system

adb ls /system/app

then find the apk file you want to delete and:

adb shell rm /system/app/(app name here).apk

You can also delete the files before you install a new version of the ROM you're using. You can delete .apk files from the ROM.zip file to flash so when you flash it they wont install.

you only have to put yourself in adb shell once,

adb shell
mount /system/
ls /system/app/
rm /system/app/xxxx.apk will do lol

btw roms with the new file overlay system can delete system apps normally now, using a file explorer!! ive done it
