Guest Paul Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 If you've rooted and you've got ADB running, you can remove apps you don't want (i've removed Acer Sync, Acer Registration) by deleting their APKs from /system/app. E.g., to remove Acer Registration, I did: - adb remount - adb rm /system/app/AcerAbout.apk Easy! ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pete.major Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hey, Does anyone know how I might uninstall RoadSync? I use gmail/gcalendar/gcontacts etc... I don't really need this. Thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 You need to be rooted, then you adb remount and adb rm /system/app/RS.apk. I've done it on mine (together with removing 'Acer Registration')! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest snoopy33 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Hi, Because I used Handset for sms, and because the original sms application stay open in background, i uninstall it by removing Mms.apk. I removed also talk service and google talk because i don t use it, but by doing that i was unable to make the market working correctly so I reinstall it in the system folder, and now, all is Ok. ++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest duff.angus Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I seem to be experiencing the same issue. I have rooted my device & using 1.004.00 firmware. What am I doing wrong? I am running the adb command straight from within my dos session. I installed 'Explorer' from the Market... Open explorer, create a backup directory on sd card in phone (/sdcard on my phone) Copy /system/app, paste into your backup folder on /sdcard now connect phone to pc and enable the sdcard. copy all those *.apk files to a safe place... I had trouble removing files initially, a bit of googling later... open a command prompt in windows.. after: - adb remount either type 'adb shell' and then 'cd /system/app' and 'rm xxx.apk' or insert 'shell' between adb and the rm command: - adb shell rm /system/app/xxx.apk be careful what you remove. i've had a couple of problems after maybe removing to may apps and had to reflash the rom and start again. Everything working fine now though. good luck and enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest liquid_it Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 does anyone have list of apps that are safe to remove? I hate too many apps that run on startup I removed Acer Registration, Spinlets and UrFooz. Don't know if there's something else you can safely remove, but looking to the task manager I'd say no..

I was windering if it might do power management or something... acer settings handles settings like wifi, blutooth and other similar stuff through an easy quick accessible application. Havnt had a single FC after removing it. Just start the app and you'll se what it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
