Removing stock apps - HTC Aria General

now before everyone tells me to search, I definitely have, and have found a bunch. however, none of the suggestions are working.
I wan't to remove things like flickr, facebook, footprints, etc.
I have a rooted phone and have flashed the liberated ROM.
when I try to remove using adb devices I get either "file does not exist" or something regarding I only have read-only access, even though I input a command that supposedly gives me read-write access.
I downloaded titanium backup and removed apps from there, restarted the phone and they still remain.
Also downloaded root file manager, removed the apps, restarted, and they all still remain.
I've managed to backup all my system apps, but they remain in the /system/apps folder and they're bugging the crap outta me!
any help?
thanks!

I'd also like to know!

can you press (and hold down) the app icon and does a Delete button then show up on the bottom of the display?

The filesystem is mounted read - only. Having root permissions doesn't change this all by itself.
Try this:
You must be rooted
to mount the filesystem read/write: adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
Delete the apk with whatever method
mount the filesystem ro again: adb shell mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

Still no luck. =/ I'm trying to remove flickr and facebook, mainly. I mount as RW, uninstall apps with root explorer or adb shell, remount as RO, the unit automatically reboots and after boot, the apps are still there and fully functional. Hmmmmm.........

I have the same reboot issue. I did find a way that works on one of the threads here...
Boot into Clockwork recovery
./adb shell
mount /system
rm /system/app/whatever.apk
Maybe it will work for you too?

Does not Root Explorer have read/write after you have rooted your phone and given Root Explorer Superuser Permission?. I see that option and it appears to delete the /system/app/whatever.apk just fine. Even doing a search after the apk is gone. However as soon as I reboot the device the .apk is back and the app is not gone.

I had the same issue, First i rooted and installed Superuser permissions, i uninstalled them and deleted them using Titanium Backup, use astro file manager to verify that the APk files were no longer in the directory then when the phone restarts all the aps come right back like nothing ever happened.
I got upset and just flashed the liberated b003 rom, If i had known that flashing that rom wouldn't wipe out my user data i would have flashed right from the start since all the ATT crapware was removed.

Summary please, what is the consensus or best way to achieve the OP question?

I was able to remove Stocks, Peep, Footprint, News, the stock Music player and some other stuff... Im in class right now so im trying to pull this off the top of my head and cant try it to verify. I'll post back later tonight when I get home the 100% method but I think this is it.
-boot into recovery
-Mount /system partition
-adb remount
-adb shell
-cd /system/app
***I used -ls to list everything in the folder on my mac, not sure what the command or you windows people would be. But that listed every .apk and .odex file in the /app directory***
-Locate the files you want to remove
- rm what-ever-file-you-want-gone.apk
- rm what-ever-file-you-want-gone.odex
***Then I ran -ls again to verify that the file was no longer listed in the directory***
-Reboot phone and enjoy.

anyone tested if Droid Explorer works for this situation?

Thanks redapex. Your instructions were perfect.

Ok good. Glad i got it right...

No. Root and read/write access are two different matters. As it turns out, we don't have read/write access to /system reliably unless we are in clockwork recovery.

item does

Was able to remove some of AT&T bloatware, but couldn't figure out the .apk file for AT&T Radio. Does anyone know?

Thanks, those directions worked perfectly.
Just a side note, when typing the program you want to remove it IS case-sensitive.
Edit: I notice after removing a few apps that I now have an entry in my widgets menu called 0.0dip and I have no idea where it came from and it instantly crashes if I try to use it. Any insight?

Removing apps from pre-baked roms

is there any way to remove apps that are included in prebaked roms such as teeter and wavesecure in the MCR 3.1???
unzip the rom, go to /system/app/ and delete .apks you don't want, then rezip and resign.
How to resign a Rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682972
Thats how, and its very simple.
There must be a quicker way eg: from adb/console when in recovery?
Yes there is...
1. First get into recovery mode with the Green menu then close that command prompt and open a new one and cd to Desire root folder. (Files on your pc.)
2. You now need to mount the /system folder using the code below
Code:
adb-windows shell mount /system
3. Now you will need to get the list of installed apk files
Code:
adb-windows shell ls /system/app/
and the output should look like this:
Code:
AccountAndSyncSettings.apk HtcWeatherWallpaper.apk
ApplicationsProvider.apk Jbed.apk

4. there are 2 methods of removal, they are
4a. Just delete the files
4b. Move to the sdcard
Use one of the following methods
4a. Now you have a list of the files you can chose the ones you want to remove , note that this part is case sensitive so com.htc.twitterwidget.apk is not the same as com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk, use the following code(example used is the Stocks app and widget):
Code:
adb-windows shell rm /system/app/Stock.apk
adb-windows shell rm /system/app/com.htc.StockWidget.apk
4b. Also case sensitive, to move the files to your sdcard(which aso removes from the device):
Code:
adb-windows shell mount /sdcard
adb-windows shell mkdir /sdcard/device_files
adb-windows mv /system/app/Stock.apk /sdcard/device-files
adb-windows mv /system/app/com.htc.StockWidget.apk /sdcard/device-files
The files will be moved to the new folder on your sdcard called /device-files, once there you can also backup to your pc for a bit of extra backup
5. Repeat Step 4. untill all the apk files that you want to remove are gone and to check that they are gone use
Code:
adb-windows shell ls /system/app/
Restoring your backed up files
Use the following code,
Code:
adb-windows shell mount /sdcard
adb-windows shell mv /sdcard/device-filesStock.apk /system/app/
adb-windows shell mv /sdcard/device-files/com.htc.StockWidget.apk /system/app/
Hope this helps.

Thanks that's great!
Edit*
Can the Java application be removed? I know it's bundled into MCR but it's using 2.5MB and I'm not using Apps2SD as I'm holding off for a FroYo port.
Edit2*
No matter, I will keep it as it seems getjar.com has some cool stuff

Na removed

Help with installing a theme! Kinda urgent...

Im hoping to get some help to get a theme installed on my phone.
It is rooted successfully, busybox is installed successfully also.
Im trying to put the Minimal Matte theme on my phone, but no success. Actually, I managed to make my Contacts disappear...
So, I would greatly appreciate help! I don't know why the adb commands are not working that are given here:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
adb push DialerTabActivity.apk /system/app/
adb push Settings.apk /system/app/
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb push twframework-res.apk /system/framework/
If I try it like that, the mounting does not work cuz it says "not permitted". So then I try like this and I get this. So it is not working. How do I fix this and how do I get the theme into my phone? Thank you for help,
Here's what I tried:
Code:
c:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
# push Contacts.apk /system/app/
push Contacts.apk /system/app/
push: not found
#
Hey Polar, your commands when you're saying "push Contacts.apk /system/app/" is actually running inside the adb shell.
To do what you did, try this:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
exit
exit
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
Let me know if this works!
Also, if you downloaded version 1.3, you can always use the automated bat file! Or did that fail for you too?
Please note that your phone must be rooted! Your phone is rooted right?

As stated in the first post, it is rooted and busybox is installed. Now..let me try your tips. I will report back.
Hmm..still facing the "permission denied" with these commands:
Code:
c:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
# exit
exit
$ exit
exit
c:\>adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
failed to copy 'Contacts.apk' to '/system/app//Contacts.apk': Permission denied
Okay, let's try it with a different partition used to remount. Try this out
Code:
adb kill server
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
If this doesn't work, try rebooting your phone and trying again.
I hope this works, cause I only have 21 minutes left on my laptop battery life

Tried this, but it seems I have to reboot since it did not work.
It does not let me use "adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system" when I try it. Only when I do the "su" first and then try that...
Now let me try again after reboot.
Still no dice...
Code:
c:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
# exit
exit
$ exit
exit
c:\>adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
failed to copy 'Contacts.apk' to '/system/app//Contacts.apk': Permission denied
Okay here are a couple things I've noticed before in the past.
1. The phone could "successfully" be rooted, but not actually work. In this case it's best to re-root your phone. The superoneclick method works well.
2. Maybe adb is just fussing over nothing, so you could try this:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
exit
exit
adb push Contacts.apk /sdcard/
adb push /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/
My primary guess though is that rooting isn't working properly.

Well, when I go and click the superuser app and all, I can see stuff happening there. Also, it has asked for permission before for adb when I first used it and I gave it. Now it appears on the list there...so it seems to be working correctly, no? And I did it with the superoneclick and it ran through it smoothly as ever. Now let me try if adb is being fussy.
Now what the heck... It pushed the Contacts.apk on the sdcard, but then this...
Code:
c:\>adb push Contacts.apk /sdcard/
3170 KB/s (3284674 bytes in 1.011s)
c:\>adb push /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/
cannot stat '/sdcard/Contacts.apk': No such file or directory
And I can clearly see the file in the sdcard...

ADB is being truly fussy! Do you have root explorer? Here is my best guess for you. Move the Contacts.apk to the /system/app/ folder manually with Root Explorer, then follow this guide to give the app root permissions:
http://francoforr.blogspot.com/2010/12/cant-reinstall-apks-easy-fix.html
Have to go find Root Explorer.

Root explorer is a paid app. But maybe ES File Manager or Astro File Manager will give you root capabilities too!
I tried this to go there with root explorer, gave the right permissions..copied the file and navigated to system/apps. Hit paste..and it tells me "not enough space". What to do now? Getting a little desperate here.

There you go! That's the problem. First check this, does Contacts.apk already exist in /system/app/? If so, use these codes:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
exit
exit
adb rm /system/app/Contacts.apk
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
Repeat for each apk file you want to copy over.
Or alternatively you could just use root explorer, delete Contacts.apk and then move over your Contacts.apk from the sdcard. OR You can uninstall some apps and give yourself some available memory in your /system/app/ folder.
You'll need at least 15mb of free space in /system/app/

If you check settings -> SD card and storage. How much memory does it say you have? If you have less then 10mb either move some apps to the sd card or uninstall some!

you need root before you can do any of those (i.e. su)
But i think i have root because I install Google market and other app. Or how i can check if i have root?

Doesn't really matter if su is not working. Superuser.apk is just a wrapper for su and he's trying to do things on the command line so su is what he's calling to, not SuperUser.apk.
He either didnt root correctly to begin with or he did something after that messed things up. Temp rooting with zergRush and redoing things is most likely what he needs to do.

If you are *certain* that this is the app that is causing the popups, and you have root access, you can use an app like Root Explorer to manually delete the app....
Make sure you set the folder location from RO to RW first
