What is the easiest way to remove system apps

[jj4201998]

before I ran teh 1.6.2 I made a backup. If I wanted to un-root can I just run my original backup to do it?

Before I upgrade to 2.1 I wanted to see if removing the apps would spped the phone up a little. Do you know how to do it manually?

Via the adb shell in the console on your computer. Download the android sdk, navigate to androidsdk>tools and run

adb devices (make sure your phone shows up here)
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd system/app
ls

Find the Stock programs you don't want. I'm typing all these commands off the thje top of my head, so i don't know the specific apk names.

When you get the 20 on the enemy targets, type in

rm thename.ofthe.programfile.apk

When you're done, type

exit
exit

I used Titanium backup to get rid of those pesky stock apps

Using Titanium Backup still requires you to be rooted. I'm sure you guys know that but I want to make sure anyone else reading the thread understands that

Removing any of the system apps require that you be rooted, this is so much easier because you don't have to run system commands via adb shell

I prefer the shell method. I like knowing precisely what's going on.
