Delete any Stock App

Get rid of those seeded apps from Verizon or delete an app from the drawer that you never use with this guide.

Guide

  1. Make sure your Droid is rooted and you have ADB working.
    Check out my guides on rooting and ADB
  2. Open up a new Terminal window and enter this command line code, line by line, pressing return after each line:
    export PATH=~/tools
    adb shell
    su
    mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
    cd /system/app
    ls
  3. Now look at what ls did. It shows all the app packages you have on your Droid. Find the one you want to remove and run the following code for each one:
    rm APP_NAME.pkg
    Remove Visual Voicemail with rm VVMStub.pkg
    Remove Amazon MP3 with rm com.amazon.mp3.apk
    Remove Corporate Calendar with rm CorpCal.apk
  4. Now finish up:
    mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
    sync
    reboot
