These programs are not in RAM, and they cannot be removed without building a new ROM. You can however remove the links in 'Programs' so you don't see them anymore, by browsing to "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" using one of the included file browsers and removing the links.
The good news is that since the programs are in ROM, they don't use any device RAM, so you can install just as many things of of your own as when they weren't there.

hello guys. i'm from Malaysia. i recently bought HTC Hero. currently have problem with downloading application for hero and malaysia dont have android market yet. is there any way i can download any application besides android market.
i got a few question also. what the purpose of rooting the hero. if im using it in malaysia. do i need to root. will it void my warranty. thanks.
Before you even think about rooting, first read this.
The only other way to get applications/games onto your Hero without the Marketplace is to manually open the apk installation file via using Linda File Manager. You don't need to root your phone for this.
If you made a backup of your Rom using nadroid, your original Rom should be safe and your phone is still under your warranty.
The only reason to root your phone is to be able to have access to hidden files, remove unnecessary programs, have useful ones already pre-installed, speed up the phone, etc.
If you have any other issues/questions regarding what I am talking about, read the link I provided you first. It should answer all your questions.

Sorry, but that is not correct. There are other Market-style applications out there that he can use. e.g. SlideME, which probably came on the phone. If it didn't, you can download it directly from the website onto your phone, and install it from the browser though you need to enable Menu->Settings->Applications->Unknown Sources ticked beforehand.

Sorry, but this isn't correct either! A *very* good reason for rooting is to use "Market Enabler" so that he can install the Market application, and enable it for a different region that supports paid apps. Other good reasons include tethering by wifi, and apps2sd.

ok. thanks guys. does it means if i root my Hero then i can access the Market even i malaysia?
Essentially yes, though you will need to install the Market app and use the Market Enabler application to "spoof" the Market into believing your carrier is in a supported region.
Regards,
Dave
But a "problem" with this would be the phone would "believe" that you are in say "Netherlands" when you are in fact in Malaysia.
You can "solve" this by disabling automatic time / date. Enter it manually.
ok. i read on how to run app from sd card. one of the step need to flash ROM to SD card. is it ok if i use different ROM than my current Hero ROM.
As long as it is a Hero ROM, for the Hero (e.g. MoDaCo 3.0) you should be fine. You do need to be a little careful though, because devs have ported Hero/SenseUI to other phones (e.g. G1/Magic etc).
If you make a Nandroid backup before you flash the new ROM, you can always roll back to your previous ROM.

Dave
How do you completely remove a pre-installed game? I tried to remove "Millionaire 2010" by deleting the capcom folder but the icon's still showing when I go into games on my phone. Any ideas?
First , you cannot "completely" get rid of pre-installed apps, that is why most of us use custom ROMs here ...
The Preinstalled games are cooked into your rom, they will come back if you ever have to hard reset ...
If the Icon bugs you that much goto "My Device" /windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games , and you will find the lnk to delete .....

I did it! thank you
I tried to add some apps to a clean official 2.1 generic rom!
I added all to data/app,but tried system/app,too and then signed
the rom again!
But if I flashed the rom not all apps shown at phone!
What is the problem,why some apps works and other not?
Rootexplorer,Titanium Backup,Autokiller and Linpack works,but
Tapatalk Pro and Zeam Launcher or other Launcher don`t works!
Now I don't know but you might have ran out of space on the phone.
Just sayin
If you put it under data on a "fresh" ROM with no data I have no idea why it does that but if you had apps installed before:

Tried with this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714075
Data/app included at the ROM!
Maybe I have to delete some apps,before I add the new apps!
But from the Android Market we can install many apps,so
why it should not possible to add several apps to the ROM?
P.S.Sorry for bad english
Your phone has a memory limit if you reach your limit it won't install the app.
Hm,but memory limit with 7 apps?
From Market I can install more then 7 apps!
EDIT:
Tried now only with "Tapaptalk Pro" not working!
Maybe anybody can check the app,why don`t work if I try to add to the ROM!
Mod edit: Attachment removed, posting licensed apps is against forum rules, first and final warning.
Nobody can help?
Why some apps works if I add them to the ROM and other
don`t available after add them to the ROM and sign the ROM?
Maybe there are problems with classes.dex/odex files?
system/app is where programs like HTC's programs, Gui and other important programs is stored for the phone to access it quicker?
Correct me if i'm wrong.
And the Data is where the programs that you want to install outside the system folder. So you would need to place the .apk's there, and change to setup script or something similar?
Yes,I tried both methods,but some apps not available at phone,after
signing and flashing the ROM!
Some other apps works
I only know apps,lib`s etc.are stored at "MANIFEST.MF"
The apps which I added are stored there,but not all available
at phone!
Example:
Code:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.0 (Android SignApk)

I have 2.08 hspl and tried to delete the blockbuster app and all that spam crap but it says that I can not delete ROM files..? Is there a way around this with out building my own ROM?

nope; if it is part of a rom it stays. instead of building your own, you could install someone elses, i guess.
So WM is nothing like Android in the sense that you can delete system files from Android but not able to in WM?
When you say 'delete', do you mean 'uninstall'?

Indeed, I want to go in and make the WM system as lean as possible. Uninstalling or removing everything unnecessary or the programs/services I find unnecessary for myself.

correct (granted i know nothing about android; but your statement of WM is what i have seen as true). once it is cooked into the rom, it stays. the only way to remove it is to install a different rom. i believe you can delete things, though this is likely to cause problems and leading to a hard reboot.

there are many "lean" roms out there; some completely custom and some as close to stock minus bloatware. again, you are allowed only to uninstall things you have installed (not that are installed in the rom.) i would check 'em out.
Hi, I just would like to ask how you guys doing your BackUps of ypur TG01. I can see lots of as is traing different cooked rooms and i cnow how to restore my ow personal data like phone book, sms, email or so but how i can restore installed applications, software and all staff i had on my phone installed before i change the Room but with home screen or UI from the new Room.
I du not believe all of you is installing all applications aver again and again after you change the room with different UI like SPB or HTC Sence.
Thanks
Roman
Good question! I've always had the same curiosity, because as I have a lot of apps installed on my device and I need it for my private and professional life, I had never tested any ROM, not for the PIM dates (easy to recover from Pimbackup or the useful Microsoft MyPhone) but to avoid installing all the apps again!
Recently and to avoid this problem, I've bought a cheap screen scratched TG01 , just for testing roms!
But coming back to your question, I'm interested in the answer as well!

I will say the answer is VERY simple!!!
You just need a bit of help from cooks! It's tricky job but works mostly!
XDA_UC
This is an app that can be cooked within the ROM. Before you flash a new ROM, all you need to do is check if the ROM has XDA_UC or not. If your new ROM has XDA_UC, then simply create a folder in your SD card as "XDA_UC", without the inverted commas. In this folder add ALL your cabs. Once flash finishes, XDA_UC will autoinstall all cabs for you while you sit back, relax and enjoy your tea!
Now, I know you will want to be greedy like I do - 'What about my apps from marketplace?' - no luck there friends! But in market place you can choose to 'install all apps' once you log in - so it's not that time consuming either!
In my future ROMs you will definitely see XDA_UC. Also I am right now working on cooking XDA_UC in DruROM1, DruROM2, DruROM3: So look out for an edit soon

Not bad, thanks for the trick, nevertheless, most of the apps need a register operation, and I'm afraid that this must be always "hand made"....

Guys, I have updated all 4 druROMs with AUTOCAB install now. You can add all your registry tweaks, your PIM back up files and your cabs that you wish to install (both those that need you to press something while installinga and those that dont!) in a single folder on your storage card and once you flashing my rom you can install all of it just by 3 clicks! (yes literally 3 - not counting scrolls)
