Root Ally is rooted, hot to remove programs ???

Titanium backup is the easiest way. (Look on market)

You can also remove them with adb shell or terminal emulator on your phone.

Here's how to do it with adb shell or terminal emulator
Code:
/ $ su
(will ask for premission first time on phone) (# = root)
Code:
/ # mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
Code:
/ # cd /system/app or /data/app
--- /system/app = directory where apps that come pre-installed on the phone
--- /data/app = directory where downloaded apps are stored
Code:
/ # ls
(will list the contents in the current directory
Code:
/ # rm apk.apk
That will remove an app.

To get an backup using the adb way (idk how to move them with terminal emulator)

Code:
adb pull /system/app/apk.apk
         /data/app/apk.apk
Since a directory isn't specified they will be pulled to the tools folder.

I am not technical savvy. I want to remove some of the programs preinstalled on my LG Ally. I don't know what you are talking about when you speak of rooting. ADB shell & Terminal Emulator are they a free program you can download to the Ally? When you speak of Code: is this something in the programs ADB Shell or Terminal Emulator? I don't want a bunch of programs no my phone just the necessary ones I would frequently use.
Please help the dummy for the Droid phone.
