Guest judzz Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Compadres, I want to remove some pre-installed apps from an HTC Legend and, as I am not an expert, I need some advice. So far, I have done the follwing: - I have downgraded from Android 2.2/Build 3.15 to Android 2.1/Build 1.31.405.4. - HBOOT is 1.01.000 - I have installed Titanium VISIONary+, perm rooted the phone - Installed Titanium Backup When I started Titanium, I got only 5 apps listed, and the advice to install BusyBox. I installed Busybox installer, as well as Busybox itself (fromMarket), phone said it was successfully installed. Back to Busybox installer, try to install but I get the message: “application failed, either because the device is not nand or we were unable to remount”. When I start Titanium, it says the phone is rooted. In the apps list I see now all the apps, the Busybox installer, but not Busybox itself. Nonetheless I try to uninstall an app (e.g. Flickr), the phone reboots and when its back on the app is still there. So I try it a different way: adb shell, su, rm /system/app/Flickr.apk, reply is rm failed, directory not empty. I have been looking for a solution on the blogs, so far I tried everything but it still does not work. As I am a novice in all this, I would rather not flash a ROM or whatever drastic measures I should take. So here are two questions: - I I freeze an app with Titanium, it is taken away from the apps screen, does this mean it does not run anymore? - Anyway, as this is a principle matter, I really could use some advice on how to physicalle delete some of these apps. Thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance!! you cannot modify /system when phone is on. you need to be in recovery to do that. Read the guide on rooting legend and you will see.
