Because /system cannot be mounted as RW unless you're in recovery.

I don't understand. I want to remove the applications, not move them.

You can't delete something that's read-only.

Got it! Okay thanks

once mounted to view the file name without using andexplorer just type this...

ls /system/app

or what every folder you want to see,

ls is linux version of dir on windows

Then you can see what you need to delete or move or what not

I am trying to remove the "mobile hotspot" app but I can't figure out which file it is when i do the ls /system/app command in adb shell, does anyone know?

To put back a file you reverse the directories so to put back VZ Navigator (why you'd want to I don't know) you'd do mv /system/app.disabled/VzNav.apk /system/app/

Also a little shortcut I found for getting into the sdk directory on your local machine. For Windows at least you can do cd\sdk/tools to get there in a single command (yes that's a back slash and a forward slash). This is assuming, of course, that your SDK is installed to the root of your primary drive. C:\sdk\tools in my case.

You need the Android SDK (downloadable just search google) then you can hook your phone up, boot into hroot and start the terminal program per the kit instructions. Make sure to create a nandroid backup BEFORE you start messing with the files or you might end up with a phone that won't boot.

I've been using Root Explorer...it lets you mount the system directories as Read\Write. It's easier than having to have to connect the phone to a PC and you can use it anywhere, anytime. It works like any file manager it allows copy\paste, move, and delete operations. For god's sake be careful you can easily brick your phone if you delete the wrong thing. I actually used this program to change my boot spash screen and animation after I updated to 2.2.
