Uninstalling

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those trying to uninstall stuff, a Q&D way of doing it:


Code:
adb shell ls /data/app ---- to get the full name of the apk

adb shell rm -r /data/app/#APPNAME

I'm not sure about dependencies and whatnot, but it got the app out of extras (after a reboot) and removed the apk off my device, which is all I care about at this point.

There are also some apps that let you uninstall. I am using FolderOrganizer. You can use Advanced Task Manager too and there are plenty of others.

Is this functionally equivalent to "rm /mnt/app/<apk> -rf" command in the scp install method?
