[DEV] Removing System Apps

---

Ok I bought a Sim Free Desire HD so its completely stock, straight from HTC.

However its got some stuff I would quite like to remove such as Amazon MP3, Peep, News, Stocks, Transfer Data and Teeter, however these are locked down.

I have tried to remove them using adb however it says I do not have permission as the system is read only.
My device is rooted using VISIONary.

Here's the commands i've been running.

@adb shell rm /system/app/amazonmp3

Which should work, but I get this error

rm failed for /system/app/amazonmp3.apk, Read-only file system

Now, I thought root gave us these permissions?

This root method doesn't give full access. Read the thread

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Yeah I figured that. Just trying to see if there is a way

you cant remove them .... but u can disable em by :-

1) find the process neme by running in ADB shell or terminal app

pm list packages

eg. amozon mp3 is com.amazon.mp3

2) then diable it by running

pm disable com.amazon.mp3

and then reboot your phone or just restart the launcher :D

we need full access to our phones!

S-OFF in these hours would be a hand on the wheel ...!

one day who knows ...!!!

until we don't have a full root this action is impossible. Disabling apps works only

the last version of titanium backup is able to totally remove system and/or preinstalled apps, like amazonmp3 etc. tried it and it worked for me, after two reboots the app is completely gone!

all of the above "hacks" didn't work for me (although i am temp rooted with visionary and used the "su" command), but titanium backup did the trick!

version: 3.5.7.3
click and hold on the app, choose "force remove app (by recovery exploit)"
