maybe he's talking about the car panel UI labeled navigator... not actual googlemaps and the navigator program.

However, being new to the android game, i have no idea where to type the commands and which programs are safe to remove.

It says to type "adb" something and then bingo. Where do i type these commands? Thanks

On Windows hold the Windows key and then press "R" type CMD and then enter. Then you can run with the instructions. Hope this helps. Anyone not able to press Windows key and "R" just use Run program, and then type CMD.

I am only able to back up the adb shell, i have no idea how to edit


I used Titanium backup to unistall the programs but the icons are still left. How do I delete those?

Boot into recovery mode and then copy and paste this into the command prompt. To root and to learn how to go into recovery mode go here. It's a very easy guide on how to do this. Make sure to thank the author of the thread.

adb-windows.exe shell
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cd /system/app
rm amazonmp3.apk
rm Sprint_App_Updater.apk
rm Sprint_NASCAR.apk
rm Sprint_Navigation.apk
rm Sprint_NFL.apk
rm Sprint_Promotion.apk
rm Sprint_Qik.apk
rm Sprint_TV.apk
rm SprintTVWidget.apk

This will remove the Sprint apps that most of you don't want.

sorry to be a pain but i cant make any entries into that window. this is what i do:

go to c:\evo recovery\recovery windows batch
I click
cmd comes up (i dont touch the phone itself, stays in the main recovery screen)
then it wont let me make entries

adb windows shell wont stay open if i click

You have to open another cmd window and run the adb-windows.exe from that. I minimized the recovery windows batch file.

i typed that then it ran some codes
then "c:\evo-recovery\" came back up again at the end. It wont let me enter "mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system"

Are there any clear cut instructions on removing apps? the adb thing isn't working for me which leads me to believe I'm doing it wrong.

I think this is the easiest way to remove the bloatware you don't want/use ...
