Re: Easy way to delete sprint apps after rooted?

The free option to remove apps on a rooted device is also very handy.
Basically, similar steps to what Hypnotic wrote. Make sure you have a nandroid backup incase you mess up.
Instead of Root Explorer, you can use Estrongs File Explorer which is free.

Open Estrongs -
Select Menu>Settings>Root Options
Now check "Root Explorer" when given the popup window, select "HiAPK"
SU Permissions popup so select "Allow"
Then check "Mount File System"

Now you're free to navigate to /system/app and delete anything you want.
Careful you don't break anything, but of course, you have a nandroid backup so no worries.

Re: Easy way to delete sprint apps after rooted?

+1 For those of us newer Android users (couple of steps above a n00b) Ti Backup is a really simple way to remove apps for rooted users... I have not gone back to the command line since learning how easy it was to remove apps with it... (and as always BACKUP first (NAND preferred)) as you can uninstall ANYTHING...
