Re: is possible to erase the frinking sprint pre installed appz?

Buy and use ROOT MANAGER to unistall your apps if you are rooted...

I don't buy people making fun of your spelling, but I didn't like the fact of opening 3 threads with the same question. You don't do that.

By the way your answer is already out there under tips and tricks on the sticky threads.

Re: is possible to erase the frinking sprint pre installed appz?

FYI, you can remove the apps if your phone is rooted,either through the Root Explorer or via commandline through the computer with adb shell, but guess what? You reboot your phone and the Sprint apps come back! It blows. So, I just blink my eyes as I go past Sprint NFL. Thanks Sprint. Looking out for the guys, but no Sprint eBay app for us gals! Haha!

Yeah, custom ROMS...been there done that with WinMo a million times and it's cool, but I don't have time for that anymore...and I am pleased with the Evo. It's stable and has everything I need....but there has to be a way of ridding yourself of the apps without them popping back like some bad nightmare when you reboot the phone.

Have you read this?

First:
Read THIS thoroughly. If you do not complete all steps, this won't work. Period.

This updated how-to teaches you how to remove the Sprint bloatware directly from your phone without using the SDK. If you prefer the old SDK method, those instructions can be found HERE.

WARNING: As with doing any hack or mod there comes risk. These instructions are not telling you to do this, rather are giving you the information if you decide to do this

1) Go to the android market and purchase the app Root Explorer. This is a great file explorer that, because its written for rooted devices, will allow you to remove files from system/.

2) Before you touch anything, put your phone in recovery and make a nand backup. I cannot tell you how many times I've borked something and thanks to my backups, I don't need to start from scratch!!!

3) After your successfully made your nand backup, reboot the phone and wait for Android to load. Once its finished loading, open your brand new app, Root Explorer. Super user will ask you to assign the app permissions, select always allow. The app will close its'self the first time you assign it permissions. Just re-open it and from now on your good to go.

4) Inside of Root Explorer, drive to your SD card and make a folder. I suggest naming it something like apk. To do this click Menu> new folder. Now go back to the root directory by click the back button

5) Inside root explorer, from the root directory, drive to system/app.

6) You are now free to delete the apk's and odex files for the apps you wish to remove. I suggest always making a copy of the apk and odex and placing the copy in the folder we created in step 4. This gives you access to all your apk's should you decide you want to add one back but don't want to flash your nand and start over.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE CAREFUL. If you don't know what it is don't remove it!

APPS YOU SHOULD NOT REMOVE:
-Don't remove stock, weather, news, or FriendStream. The widgets should be fine but not the actual apps. They are too deeply integrated into the system and will break things. Some people have not experienced problems while others (including myself) have seen some major issues from removing these. It's best just to avoid.

If you delete an app and want it back:
Go to the folder on your SD card you saved all those apk's and odex's in (you did do that, correct?) and place them back into system/app. If you did make a copy on your SD, then click HERE and get to downloading.

Root explorer requires full root access for those that don't want to read all that. Then just open the app and delete the apks from system/app

You have to have root and nand... not only root.
