EASIEST WAY TO REMOVE READ-ONLY SYSTEM APPS:
-Purchase, download and install "Root Explorer" from Android Market
-Tap the button "Mount R/W" which remounts the system in read/write mode
-Long press the .apk you wish the delete and delete it
-Tap Mount R/O to remount the system as read-only
-Done
I tried deleting apps this way and I was able to delete the apk file. However, the apps still show in app drawer. I've tried using Titanium backup to get rid of apps and that didnt work. I've also tried Root Manager and it doesnt seems to remove the stock apps either.
Any ideas?
