The phone is still nand locked. It is only unlocked in recovery. You will have to remove the apk's via adb in recovery. Also task killers are highly discouraged on Froyo roms.

If you have clockwork recovery installed, then goto partitions and mount /system.
Then you can ADB in and rm the .apks you don't want.

You also shouldn't boot into recovery with the USB plugged in. Boot into recovery THEN plug it in, or you'll get directory not empty errors.

i get the error (/sbin/sh: pm: not found) when i type in (adb uninstall com.amazon.mp3 or adb uninstall com.amazon.mp3.apk) and i rebooted into recovery without the usb plugged in and mounted the system file in partitions menu

Don't try to uninstall the apk's, just adb shell rm /system/app/apkname.apk, or navigate to /system/app and rm apkname.apk

This is a problem with the path variable in the CM6 roms. See my thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780860

Short story, change the path in init.rc in order to use uninstall or install or just use the rm command as stated above (probably the easiest). I corrected the path on my rom as it seems to me it should include /system/bin which is where the "pm" command is located.

if by any chance you downloaded the app from the market, you can uninstall it from the market app by going to the download page & choose uninstall.

Just download winzip open the gapps zip on your computer delete the Amazon API from within winzip then place on your sd card then flash the new gapps in clockwork
