Guest BashyUK Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) did it via terminal emulator... su mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /system rm /system/app/amazon* mount -o remount,ro /dev/mtdblock3 /system That's the answer you would have got or alternatively if you had a ROM with r/w perms on system anyway (like the one I'm using) you would just have to run the remove command. Others would say use Root Explorer or Android Mate but i've found that they can cause issues, either with removing where once you reboot the app reappears and definitely with installing, you can paste the file in but it never installs. TE is def one of my must have apps :P Edit: Whoops, just realised I had clicked ont he HD thread, will just back out slowwwwly, no-one will notice :-p Edited October 28, 2010 by BashyUK
Guest AndyCr15 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 did it via terminal emulator... su mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /system rm /system/app/amazon* mount -o remount,ro /dev/mtdblock3 /system But does it stay gone, or when you restart do the apps re-appear? I've used Titanium Backup to uninstall about 13 system apps like Gmail and Mail (I use K9) and they all come back each time I reboot... :P

Guest ranblv Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) I think you can run "pm disable com.amazon.mp3" 'pm list packages' will list all of them pm disable com.amazon.mp3/com.amazon.mp3.client.activity.LauncherActivity Edited October 28, 2010 by ranblv

Guest ranblv Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 visionary is not really root, cause it does not allow access to system files. the nand protection resets after boot
