I am rooted and wondering if there is an easy way to ditch the stock apps I don't need?
I am rooted and wondering if there is an easy way to ditch the stock apps I don't need?
yeah, I wanted to ditch Twitter, stocks, the broken Facebook, Footprints, Friendstream, The regular mail app (Not Gmail), and Music
I've removed these apps with no problem on rooted ota 2.1
Stock.apk
Stock.odex not found
com.htc.StockWidget.apk
com.htc.StockWidget.odex
DCSStock.apk
DCSStock.odex never found it is not in system /app
amazonmp3.apk
Browser.apk I use dolphin hd
VVMStub_v3.apk this is Visual voice Mail
VoiceDialer.apk
HtcFootprints.apk
htcbookmarkwidget.apk
HtcFootprintsWidget.apk
as soon as I figure out the apk for quickoffice it's gone
So how do you do it?
Is there a more free way? hehe
Not so big on the whole command line thing.. I'm more of a GUI guy..
That sounded so wrong didn't it?
No.
You're 99% of rooters, amigo.
Did you reboot following the deletions?
Come on.. of course I did!
*whew* .. that's good.
Your phone might have (fill in the blank) if you hadn't rebooted following deletions.
I generally won't reboot, because I'm lazy. And waiting for Windows to start takes forever, especially on old PCs.HAHA! I've worked with PCs enough years to know that anytime you add/remove apps you need to reboot no matter what OS your on. And before the Linux guys jump all over me, you may not NEED to reboot, but it's still good practice so that any errant lingering processes are nuked
