Best way to delete "undeletable apps"

[Guest Sand0r]

Hey guys,

So I installed swedish spring rls5 on my phone, now I got some apps that I really won't be using like talk, news and weather, 2 fm radio's, and the car tools.

I want to delete this apps but i can't do it using the settings, how can I still delete these apps?

The phone is rooted and superuser is on if that makes any difference.

You can uninstall system apps with Root Uninstaller from the Market.

I think titinium backup will do the job! =) :P

On a related note, I have Latitude installed on my phone (running SS RLS5, rooted and everything) but I can't uninstall it, it simply doesn't show up in the Applications list in Settings. I've tried Root Uninstaller too, it just doesn't see it. Latitude is working and sharing my location, I checked from other phone. I've disabled the location sharing but how could I remove it completely?

Latitude is part of gmaps. Delete it.

If you know your linux commands you could also download terminal emulator, cd to /system/app, and rm unusedapp.apk

Might need to delete the dex files in dalvik cache as well to free up space.

"file expert" works:

go to /system/app

then there's a list of the apps, click menu more>mount, now you can delete them.

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/unwanted.apk

adb reboot

Titanium, because when you flash a rom update it kinda remembers what you deleted last time. It puts them at the top of the list (only the first time you open Titanium) which makes it really quick to clean up each rom update. Especially handy if you're getting said updates daily like CD7. :P

the easiest way is to delete the apk in the zip before to flash the rom
