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?

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
Bluetooth.apk LiveWallpapers.apk
BrcmBluetoothServices.apk LiveWallpapersPicker.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
Edit3*
Na removed

thank you

Removing stock apps

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.

Good job. Now pay attention to the blackboard.

out of this list, is there an .apk & .odex that is mandatory to maintain normal phone functions, ie. from the list of prefix HTC.... can't tell for sure what each
item does
with items like these, I have no problem identifying and removing
HtcTwitter.odex
HtcTwitter.apk

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?

[How to] Root Motorola Atrix with terminal

Maybe I'm the only one but this is the method I prefer to use to root my phone. I'm not always sure which OS I'll be working with when I have to do this and this one works on all of them as long as you have the Android SDK.
Put the files into your platform-tools folder to make them easy to find.
Not sure if I need this but I'm not responsible for bricks or any other complication, etc, etc.
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push bin/su /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
$ ./data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
# mount -o rw, remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
# rm /data/local/tmp/su /system/bin/su
#chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
exit

really? psneuter only works for 1.26 froyo

I used this method on 1.83 when I first got the phone. Might need to look back into this. Someone asked about this method so I posted it.

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?

Yes, what he said...you're confusing having root on the command line for "I installed su and superuser to their correct locations"

adb shell
$ su
su
[1] + Stopped (signal) su
$ su
su
[2] + Stopped (signal) su
[1] Segmentation fault su
$
I have try install root by this manual: http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fire-root/how-to-root-kindle-fire/

Something is wrong with your device then.

as a first step look if you have superuser.apk in \system\app\

Ho i dont have Superuser.apk in /system/app/

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.

I'm having the same issue, but when I go to change the mount permissions I get permission denied. Anyone care to give me some insight on how to fix it?

you have the $ prompt !!!
type su - the prompt has to change to #
then do the commands ...
