LCRF 2.0: Unable to remove stock apps

[Guest parvata]

Hi,

I have flashed my Acer Liquid E with this ROM and somehow I am not able to uninstall the stock apps. I was able to remove it when I flashed it with 1.1.2. I checked on the permissions on the apk files and nothing looked suspicious. Anyone have any ideas? I haven't run logcat yet. Overall the ROM is very smooth and very responsive. Thanks all for providing such a great ROM.

delete everything that you dont need from zip before flashing.

You can very easily do it through LCR Settings (as well as add apps which were not pre-installed). Btw, I think it takes a few minutes whenever you uncheck an app so be patient.

Turn on USB Debugging and go the Apps & Add-Ons Menu

deleting stock apps with titanium backup is faster than with lcr settings.

Yeah but if it isn't working for him, then it could be a better option than re-flashing the ROM.

Hi,

I have tried the command "adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps" to remove the google maps app and below is the error captured from logcat.

# --------- beginning of /dev/log/main

I/PackageManager(  389): Removing system package:com.google.android.apps.maps

--------- beginning of /dev/log/system

W/PackageManager(  389): Attempt to delete system package com.google.android.apps.maps

The I actually logged into adb shell and tried to remove teh Maps.apk in the system folder. I got the following error:

bash-3.2# rm Maps.apk<br>

rm: remove 'Maps.apk'? y<br>

rm: can't remove 'Maps.apk': Read-only file system

I tried to change permissions on the file to +x but I get the same error. It was not that difficult to remove apps from teh previous LCR version. I in fact removed most of the stock apps using instructions by Lorents posted in http://android.modaco.com/content-page/297...ration/page/20/ I am using the same instructions now and they are failing. I just tried uninstalling the Acer sync app and my phone rebooted with the following messages from logcat

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Sorry for the trouble guys. I used LCR Settings to uninstall the apps and it worked. I did not notice that you could remove apps from LCR settings. Thanks to all your suggestions. Will explore more on the features in LCR settings.
