Guest edwardecl Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I've tried rooting the phone mounting /system read/write with various uninstallers but they all fail to delete the apps... Looking around on the phone I noticed these apps are in... /cust/unicom/cn/app Is it safe just to remove everything in that directory? or will android still try and start the services and fail and cause problems when I reboot the phone (stuff like womail is run without user interaction). Or is there a better way of doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dazzozo Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I think it's safe to format the cust partition completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest edwardecl Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Ahh never mind, if you mount /cust read-write you can uninstall the apps... Didn't realise it was a different mount point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rosco-85 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 How do you unistall the Unicome apps exactly? I've mounted the /cust partition in CWM, but what's the next step after that...? I was worried that formatting the partiton might cause issues! Thanks, Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ellis456q Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I removed both fine, the one with Chinese writing and the other forgot what app I used but no problems so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rosco-85 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yeah, but I flashed the Vendor pack, so I've got lots of Chinese Apps. Would rather format the /cust parttion if I knew that was safe. Just so I can rid of them in a oner! Has anyone successfully done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rosco-85 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Took a chance and formatted the /cust partition. Worked a treat! Got rid of all chinese stuff (bar two apps) and removed the Unicom splash screen (back to standard Android splash).

Guest edwardecl Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I just used a root uninstaller after mounting /cust as writable... the remaining apps are in /data/dataapp/ I think... Is /cust there when you don't flash the vendor file, or does the vendor file just create symlinks or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wwwjunk Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Formated /cust in cwm recovery and it's all ok ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wwwjunk Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I installed ICS (without vendor folder), gapps and zeam launcher. Then removed these ones and did a factory reset.

Guest Rico_89 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Took a chance and formatted the /cust partition. Worked a treat! Got rid of all chinese stuff (bar two apps) and removed the Unicom splash screen (back to standard Android splash). Just to confirm that would be; Boot into CWM then [- Mounts and storage] then [ -format /cust]. One question, will I lose data and have to reinstall all of my apps? Thanks for any info.

Guest Davidoff59 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Rico and lupone, just use a root browser. I think I read that ez file explorer works fine to remove these apps but I have used rom Toolbox by jrummy for a while with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too bothered about the apps, seeing as I didn't install the vendor folder, but getting rid of the Unicom splash screen would be great.
