Im looking for ways to do it directly from the phone. Ive tried apps from the market(these only temporarily uninstall until next reboot). Ive tried Root Explorer and deleting from the system apps file(says read only file can't be deleted).
i need help. im hoping a custom ROM wont have to be cooked, i would really like to do it from the phone. Because straight up, i dont know how to do it. If someone out there does, im definitley willing to pay all i want is my stock glacier rom minus these apps:
amazonmp3.apk
AppPack.apk
Asphalt5.apk
com.htc.StockWidget.apk
DockPanel.apk
HTCSetupWizard.apk (not sure if safe)
Monopoly_Classic.apk
rockband.apk
SelfHelp.apk
Stock.apk
TMOUS_myTouchdemo.apk
Yahoo_im.apk
Yahoo_imvideo.apk
yahoo_mail.apk
and also if someone knows the file name for the NEWS and NEWS WIDGET, im unsure of the .apk name
I use SU file explorer as my root explorer app. if you press menu, there will usually be an option that says "mount system as r/w", that will give you the ability to delete from the system/app folder.

sounds like he's not rooted fellas
Please post questions in Q&A section.
Install titanium for root the free version. Click problems, download the busy box update (itz necessary) go to the app you don't want and just click uninstall. Will delete permanently if you are perm rooted. To get perm root, type in visionary apk r14 in google search bar, go to the 2nd link and download visionary, then click temp root, and after that is done click on perm root. Finished if you are not rooted, download visionary first, when you open up titanium backup, it will say asking for superuser permission click on allow

just tried it. rebooted, came right back.
I removed my unwanted apps using adb after trying Root Explorer and not being able to mount system/app as R/W. Way easy.

have you seen that 1 click root an z4root don't really make a full root of our x10s???
I was trying to put some ringtones on the notification folder (inside system/media/audio) but I was unable to do it :S it said I lack of the permissions :S
Still need to crack the shell. Use root explorer or something.

maybe our root method is working 50%
Did you install Busybox from the Android Market after rooting with z4root? I believe this is what is used to grant superuser capabilities. Root Explorer should allow you to push those files after this.
busybox wouldn't install on mine after i'd "rooted" using z4root.. and now the superoneclick won't work for me either (I've just installed JIT)...
installed busybox and didn't work at all

Just use ringdroid if you like to add ringtone or notification sound. No need root. And btw z4root works good for me

I just rooted mine today. apparently there are a few versions of busybox that don't work as they should. I installed titanium after root. Load titanium, it will tell you it can't get superuser rights but will start anyway. Click the "Problems" button at the bottom of the screen and it will download a reliable version of busybox.
I hope this helps.

Didn't work for me either. When trying to download BusyBox through Titanium, I get an "install failed". Went to market and downloaded busybox from there but gives me a "your phone is rooted. Could not locate busybox".
I have an X10a through AT&T R2CA016. Do I need to debrand it before rooting?

You don't need to debrand before rooting. When you download/install Busybox from the Market, open it and it will give you the option of which version of Busybox you want to install/use, select the one you want and run it. Then you can use Titanium after that.
z4root worked fine on my x10. used superoneclick to apply shell root after that but busybox installed fine before that.
Will z4root work on my 2.1-update1 X10?
I have the Nordic Unbranded version with build No. 20A0504 or something...
I only need root to access the Japanese market, nothing else (don't care about otifications etc).
Will it work then? If I use z4root?
Oh, and it wont mess up my SD card, contacts or battery or anything like that?

old post i know....but it works fine for me....had you mounted in R/W mode? it should say R/O at the top if you have. I just copied an mp3 file straight into the internal memory (/system/media/audio/ringtones)
That what I do!
I use a "Flash tool release"
root by installing the z4root
then I i install busybox
and to get full access I install rootexplorer and reamount system to the rw the in rootexplorer
then use the "X10modtool" XDA Tool So Always when i try to change staff in my x10 I just open rootexplorer and re amount
Then use Adb shell and staff
(Work 100% for me)
The reamunting it just does not work when use seus or PPC - the ADB is close in the production version of the SE system
By the way How to turn on the ADB in the SE ?? (permittions)
In summary when you install XDA apps just add rootexplorer and reamount to rw
I am running LeeDrOiD, but I know many people have this issue.
If you are trying to update Superuser from the market, and you get invalid signature and installation fails. This is my work around, which works for me.
My rom had superuser.apk and not Superuser.apk, which linux takes as two files whilst windows references everything in capitals.
Download Superuser Update Fixer.
Run the application, which will say that signature fails. Then run the fix, which will say okay all the way through and the signature still fails.
Download Root Explorer, and mount /system/ as rw.
Go to /system/apps/ and you will find Superuser.apk and superuser.apk, rename or delete superuser.apk and then rename Superuser.apk to superuser.apk.
Restart your phone.
Go to app drawer, and launch Superuser. Your whitelist and blacklist has been erased.
Run Superuser Update Fixer and you should see signature match is okay, now click update from market and enjoy.

I don't think there is. There may be another app that does this job though. You need something that can mount system rw.
It may be possible to do this step with ADB, however I just posted how I did it.
ES file explorer has this system rw option, it says that it only works with CM and some other rom but it works for me and I'm running leedroid. Only problem is you have to unmount and mount it again every now and then.
Yeah to make it work just select the non CM7 mod option, HIAPK i think it's called? either way just select that one, apart from what the guy above me said about the remounting every now and then, should be a good substitute for root explorer
I downloaded superuser from market and the fix but wen using es explorer i only see one superuser?

I only have the Superuser.apk, but still have problems on the update. I had lost root and just decided to reroot, but got the Ninja Icon app. I tried to update - sig failed. Tried the Update Fixer and on changing to 644 fail, check sigs fail. Then I tried this.
Any other ideas on how to get it?

I just rooted my phone for the new update. I was in the superuser app, and I told it to forget one of the apps named "0". When I first cheeked superuser after rooting my phone I had the titanium backup and an app named "0". the problem is I don't know what I did by telling superuser to forget "0". I also don't know how to get it back. My phone is still rooted and the root programs run. Any ideas?

I think I remember reading that 0 was the script running or something like that and that its ok to take it off. The answer is in the thread that talks about rooting 1.57

So, I rooted with gingerbreak successfully (android 2.3.2). When I try to remove any bloatware from the system/app folder, it won't delete. Does gingerbreak not give us rw access of / or did I miss something?

are you using a root enabled explorer?, have you mounted /system/ as r/w?
Use titanium backup to uninstall programs
I am using a root enabled explorer. I didn't know I had to mount it in r/w. I thought it would be r/w after rooting and allowing access. How can I mount it rw? Something I can do in terminal?
I don't want to use titanium backup.

what file explorer are you using? i suggest using root explorer, it's a great app
Whoops, silly me.. I never realised that there was an option to mount it as rw. I use file expert by the way. I recommend testing it. It's very good.
Also, maybe it's time to get a listvof bloat ware that is sfe to remove. I'll edit my first post with my list in the next day or 2. If anyone has anything that they would like to add just post it and ill add it to the first list.

Reboot and try again?
I had this problem the first time and sometimes it would take longer than usual. There was once I left it to root the whole night and the next morning it was rooted, lol.
Anyway, can I ask whether does the "repair" button on SE's PC Companion restores all the bloatwares such as postcard and timescape?
Thanks in advance!
regarding removing bloatware? do we have a list here of the "Facebook Inside Xperia" APKs that we can safely remove? I know they're pretty in-your-face as the filenames under Titanium Backup says it all already, but you know it's still good to have a complete list...
yup agree
Please do look at the last post's date... Oy vey
How can I launch an application to give it root permissions ? Can I possibly edit the apk without writing the program over ?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk
You first need to root your phone. You could use z4root.apk. try searching the forums or google it. Apply permanent or temporary. I applied permanent root. The app will notify if a root is successful. Then you will need to have superuser app installed. Normally all the roms comes preinstalled with superuser. If an app asks for permission for root access just grant it and you're done.

My device is already rooted with SuperUser added ...... What im trying to do is give an app which was downloaded from the market root permissions . now the only way i personally know how to give an app root permissions is by FIRST programming it with root permissions . Once its compiled i dont thing i can launch an app as root . But i may be wrong . hence the thread
