I am getting this trying to remove the apps:
C:\Documents and Settings\user>adb shell
$ mkdir /system/app.disabled
mkdir /system/app.disabled
mkdir failed for /system/app.disabled, Read-only file system

Why isn't it letting me make the directory and move the files?

Also, don't forget to mount the /system/ partition when you're in recovery.

Boot into clockworks recovery, then plug into the computer.
Select partitions -> Mount /system

Then, on the computer:
Run->adb shell->su

And then you can perform these commands.

I'm none too happy with you crazydog... :p

mv /system/etc/CDROM.ISO /system/app.disabled/

This will stop the annoying prompt to download VZ software when hooking up to computer in charge mode. Thanks to ihtfp69 from XDA for the original find and also najaboy (AF & XDA) for passing it along to me.

It's a little different not being an .apk but the move command still works the same. If you want to make a separate directory fine, but I used the app.disabled placement to have everything in one spot and it worked great.

Nice find! And thanks for giving credit to the original finders. :cool:

I'll have to add this to the list.

How did you remove Amazon? And do you know how to remove Skype?

in adb shell:
mv /system/app/amazonmp3.apk /system/app.disabled/
mv /system/app/VZW_Skype.apk /system/app.disabled/


also, for the cdrom.iso fix, to keep it clean, i also created a etc.disabled folder in system and moved it to there so i know where it goes if i need to put it back ever... for those that want to do that, here you go:

in adb shell:
mkdir /system/etc.disabled
mv /system/etc/CDROM.ISO /system/etc.disabled/
