how to clean up 2.2 ?

[Guest John.2010]

How do I remove a few of the included apps? CoPilot Live trial version, Amazon MP3, Assistant Free, Dell Video Stage, EverNote, Kindle, TuneIn Radio, Twitter, Dell Welcome, Zinio Reader, etc... seems like a bunch of bloatware that is just begging to be removed.

[Guest zAm1987]

You have to root your Streak, then open the system/app folder (with Root Explorer for example), mount the folder with read/write access and then delete the wanted .apk Files.

Some are named different then the app itself:

Dell Video Stage - Roxio....apk

Dell Welcome - some Strange Hyu... name.apk

and some others

root it with z4root and buy root explorer (paid app)

or root it and install busybox and use titanium backup to remove the apps.

or root it and get handy with a terminal and adb

is there a decent list of adb command lines that you can link to please?

i've googled (honest) but i either get super basic how to connect via adb or super in depth stuff

i've love a list of specific commands against spcific tasks?

for example in this thread,

remove app XYZ = adb.exe cd system\app\XZY.apk - del (or something - i made that up obv!!!)

Thanks

I delete all the app John.2010 mention but don't find the apk for Assistant Free B) ,can some one tell me under the name that Assistant Free appear in the app list. :)

[Guest fards]

on the streak adzman. Will do in detail later on if you need more than this...

Useful commands to know

Rm -f remove with force

cd change directory

ls -a show directory contents

su superuser=root

mount remount,rw mount an existing folder as rewritable

Root and install busybox (bb maybe uneeded but I always install it)

From pc

Adb shell

su (check to allow on streak)

mount remount,rw /system

cd /system/app/

ls -a

rm -f pageonce.apk ----that ones for wonsanim lets see if he notices :)

then repeat that last line to get rid of what you want...

Tbh I'm surprised noonez come up with a quick app to do this B)

Thanks very much B)

prev i'd got as far as getting my streak to talk to my pc (or vice versa) via adb (using the dummies guide from xda)

but once i'd made the connection & tested it, i was kinda "ok now what?"

Thanks again

Adam

ps too others (i think Fards knows this already LOL)

here is the xda guide that got me started

Well done mate ;) totally Clean now :)

Its pretty commonplace for newly released roms to not show the full market for a few days..

what you can do is edit the build.prop manually (using adb and remount,rw and adb pull /system/build.prop)

edit it on your pc

and adb push it back again..

----

the edit is to comment out the two lines

starting [ro.build. with a #

then paste this in as well..

[ro.build.description]: [passion-user 2.2 FR91 43546 release-keys]

[ro.build.fingerprint]: [google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83/60505:user/release-keys]

when the streak froyo rom is picked up then its a case of uncommenting the lines and pushing it to the streak again..

Titanium Backup (free) force removes stuff really well B)

[Guest Dennrow]

Thank's Titanium Backup is the best (Remove Assistant free) :P

[Guest dilupo]

I tried Titanium Backup, but that didn't work for me... After reboot, the app is still there. Root Explorer does work, couldn't find the right APK for Assistant Free though (removed pageonce.apk, but Assistant Free is still there...)

[Guest Tim6772]

For CoPilot i did this.....

Rooted...Z4Root

Removed ALL CoPilot folders

Root Explorer

System/Apps

Change R/O to R/W (tap the icon)

Long Press on app you dont want

Delete.

Clear Dalvik-Cache

Reboot
