I would like a howto explaining how to uninstall system apps (e.g. the mp3 store, the email app). I don't use it and would like to uninstall them, but I don't know how!

Just wanted to say EXCELLENT video tutorials - I used these to root and flash my virgin nexus one yesterday. HOWEVER, you should make a note that you need to wipe before flashing cynaogen (I got stuck in the boot screen and was freaking out). Doing a wipe fixed this...
Great site & very good video tutorials! Keep it up...
Great Site
I love it, i love it. I wish this was around when i got my g1.

+1, I have been rooting phones since the day the G1 came out. I have to say that theunlockr.com site makes rooting practically noob proof. I have used it once or twice when setting up my drivers for SDK/ADB and was very impressed.
Honestly, I wish that XDA would create a section of "How To" videos for rooting the devices that theunlockr.com showcases. This would make rooting much easier for noobs.
This gets my vote for "STICKY"!

[Mistake Found] Ubuntu Touch; MultiROM

Hi
I tried MultiROM to install Ubuntu Touch but finally i couldn't boot into ubuntu touch
i read lots of tutorials and watched some videos to find problem but i couldn't find !!!
as main tutorial;
Ubuntu touch preview
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38300214&postcount=104
i Downloaded files and installation was successfully
i Just got this error that i don't know what to do with it that says not found boot.img and try to use current boot.img
should i flash Boot.img (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to...ent/saucy-preinstalled-boot-armel+grouper.img) to bootloader of N7 !?!?
Or any other download link that contain boot.img or maybe thr s special thing to download and no one mentioned !!!
pls help
ThnX

while i should flash first saucy-preinstalled-armel+grouper as Add ROM
and then Flash .zip to it through list ROMs and Add .zip to it
anyway sorry for mistake
and thnks for who read my problem
:good:
The guide didn't mention anything about flashing a kexec-hardboot kernel which I remember something about it needing... I have tried both Ubuntu Touch and Desktop on my Nexus and they are barely usable.

Ther are two main points here- Ubuntu desktop is installable as standalond AND with multirom. The latter requires kexec. Ubuntu touch is installable as standalone, but not multirom at this moment. Tasssadar has stated he will be fixing the ubuntu touch install process in his next multirom release.
As a side note, Ubuntu desktop can indeed feel very rough to use, but an otg and your basic usb peripherals will make a huge difference.

You have an older version of Ubuntu touch installed. The newer will not install as is. Refer to this post by tasssadar.

Yes, that is for the old zip installables. The newer nightlies system are in tar.gz with a different structure, not currently supported by multirom. As I said, you are using the old developer preview.
Here are the newer nightlies link

Ubuntu and the Nexus 10

Hello everyone,
Before you start flaming me for posting a redundant thread, please hear me out.
After bricking my TF300T (had xubuntu installed and had to f*** with partitions..and I f***** it real good) I've decided to get myself a Nexus 10. I've been doing some research on the matter of running Ubuntu Desktop (NOT touch) on it I've seen many tutorials on how to do it I've come across plenty howtos on how to install it on the Nexus 7.
My question is, is it possible to use the same process/images for my brand new Nexus 10? How different are the devices from each other?
I've seen that Canonical has released a Ubuntu Dual Boot Installer compatible with the Nexus 10. Would it be possible to use the Rabbits kernel I used for the TF300T? Also, as far as I've seen Multiboot is only compatible with the Nexus 7.. or have I seen wrong? Did I make a bad purchase and should've gotten an other tablet?
Thanks in advance for your time and help and my advanced apologies for inconveniencing anyone with this thread.
As far as I know (and I've only triedndoing this once a while back so I may be wrong) there is no way to partition the storage in the nexus 10 to install Ubuntu, and there is no kernel to support it. You would have to run the Ubuntu iso through chroot in the terminal, and then use a VNC client app to use Ubuntu. Effectively, you'd be running Ubuntu in the background whilst running android to view it, so performance (and compatibility) takes a hit.
But, like I say, times and developers have changed so I may be entirely wrong now...
Say you manage to partition the emmc.. Then what? You'll need to port drivers over from Android (not an easy thing to do since they're proprietary).. Ubuntu touch is Android based.
