download and install Root Explorer.
Open it. You should be in the main OS folder.
go to the system/app sub-folder. You will see all the list of apps, with extensions like ".apk".
up at top of the phone display (in Root Explorer), click on "r/o" (read only) to change it to "r/w" (read/write). this give you permission to change stuff instead of just looking.
click the left hardware button down at the bottom of the phone. this will bring up a Root Explorer software menu that covers the lower portion of the screen. It has several choices.
choose "multi-select". this will put blank checkmarks on the right side beside every item in the "app" folder.
then scroll through the apps folder, touching each app you wish to choose. this will put a green checkmark beside the app.
when you finish checkmarking the apps -- and you double check your list! -- then on the bottom software menu where you chose "multi-select", now choose "delete".
done.
(when you delete Boingo it will protest and put up error messages. Wrestle it to the ground by forcing a Power Off of the phone. Turn phone back on, Boingo gone.)
