ok.. im all done rooting.. got lagfix.. and tried rom manager and there wasnt an option for the fascinate.. so i guess ill wait on that.. any recommendations on what else to do.. i want to get rid of all the bloatware.. but im not sure how..
Use root explorer (download from market), and rename the bloatware packages you want to get rid of to .apk.old.
An example, rename /system/app/Blockbuster_Stub_v0_2_build_12-unsigned-signed.apk to Blockbuster_Stub_v0_2_build_12-unsigned-signed.apk.old
This will remove the Blockbuster application from your list of installed programs.

hi there i rooted my fone a couple of mins ago using the exploid method (026), it was a great success.., lemme go back to my question.., how can i clean up the apps that i don't need.,
in bin4ry's method (024) on step2 folder there's a file called cleanup.cmd i just have to edit it and run it.., it will remove all the unnecessary apps like the moxiersh*t on my (024) x10i..,
but when i used bin4ry's cleanup.cmd on my (026) is says "mount: operation not permitted"
i know they have different sources, but can somebody help me cleaning up my 026x10i?

Did you use the donate or free version of Titanium Backup? I have installed the free version but i still could not figure out how to delete or uninstall unwanted programs. Care to share how you did it? Thanks

long press the app u want 2 delete
nooo i dont need titanium backup.., what i said is.., the CMD(command) file in the root that can cleanup the apps using the computer not the phone itself..,
Jus use the cleanup file.. don't mount your usb, make sure usb debugging is on n c what happens!
as for titanium backup, there's nothing wrong with it.. does the job!! plus the full version can b used to freeze apps to c how the rest of your phone would react if u had actually uninstalled it!!

hi i still can't delete from titanium(free version).it doesn't give me an option to delete.
and from the cleanup file it tells me rm failed.red-only file system
yet the apps are still there!!(moxier,quadrapop etc.)
am i doing something wrong?
Download busybox of market and c if that confirms your root privileges..
if so then go into titanium n try your luck again

use exploid 1.08, once rooted again, open exploid app again, click unsecure shell, rerun the cleanup cmd. u should now be read/write mounted...

Make sure you edit the cleanup.cmd so it doesn't remove stuff you might need or want to keep.

You just tap the app, as long pressing gives you a different menu.

If I remember correctly, what I did was uninstall it with TB, then using roorexplorer navigate to data/app and remove the apk, then went to app-private and removed it from there too.
thanks man, finally got rid of it!
Ok so I have rooted my phone (I think -_-) with the method where I download the file and rename it to update.zip, put it in the internal storage on my phone, and then recovered.
I have the superuser app icon, then I downloaded ROM manager and flashed a recovery (I don't even know wtf this means) and then downloaded Android Mate and tried going to the system files and deleting the bunch of crap bloatware this came with. I select the ones I want to delete, and then click delete, then it says "files were deleted successfully" but they're still there?! I'm so hella confused.
1.) Why will android mate not delete these files? I gave it permission through superuser!
2.) How do I know for sure if my phone is rooted?
3.) How do I know if I have a backup? I don't intend to flash any ROMS or operating systems or whatever the hell (i'm just fine with the stock OS)
I'm soooo lost right now. I love this phone but I reallllly wanna remove the bloatware so I can start customizing it.

Hello,
I have never used AndroidMate but I can recommend Titanium Backup. You can search for the app (even system apps, so make sure you know what you want to delete) and delete it. If you buy the premium version you can even "freeze" them, as in they won't be deleted but they won't start up either (in case you change your mind later on).
Hope this helps.
OK...I am new to Android. I have my phone rooted but am wondering how can I uninstall some of the junk that came on the Thunderbird. Stuff like Blockbuster and the Golf app. Also how can I change my boot screen? Any tips would be helpful.
Titanium backup,(suggest pro where u can freeze them) is the easiest way.

I downloaded Titanium backup and it says i am not rooted. I have ROM manager and superuser in my all apps screen.
I chose to install one of the custom roms that just removed the Verizon apps... Provided link below. Though did have to redo some of the root process after flashing the custom rom, but not a huge hassle. Plus got rid of the bloat thanks to adrynalyne

still learning this phone. Not sure if I am ready for that yet I do not even know how to flash to a new rom yet. I used the fast root method that just came out yesterday to gain root to the phone. I know....I am not hard core yet.

it ti backup there is a option to reinstall busybox. do that and you should be golden.

free version is ok but pro is better... you can freeze apps first, if it messes something up defrost it and dont uninstall!
Thanks for the help guys. Do you think getting rid of the apps like Blockbuster, Golf, Twitter etc would do any harm?
I deleted mine with TiB, no problems...
now i just have to figure out how to delete them
I am totally new to smart phones but i am pretty savy on a computer. I rooted my thunderbloat using a one click root i found on this site but still cant remove the software I want. Anyone else have the same issue?

If you have root, you can download Root Explorer from the app store. Use it to browse to the app directory and just delete the apps you don't want. Another option is to rename the unwanted apps. For example, change APPNAME.apk to APPNAME.apk.bk ... then it will be "hidden" from the system. Restore it at anytime by removing the ".bk" extension.

Is there a free version of root explorer? Or a free way to rename these files? I don't really feel like paying $4 to remove bloatware.

Anytime I connect via my computer, it says permission denied for su. I know I have root, so I am a little confused. I can uninstall with Titanium Backup, but I was planning on keeping a copy of the apk, just in case. Is there any reason I would need this bloatware? Such as for Warranty or insurance? Other wise I'll just go and remove the worst of the bloat with Titanium backup. Thanks.

there is RUU downloads in the Dev forum that will get you back to where you need to be in case you want to warranty your phone and make it 100% stock again. Best thing to do before removing stuff is boot into clockwork recovery or use rom manager(from the market) and backup everything...then delete. if you come across a problem with deleting something jsut restore from a backup.

Oh I didn't about the backup. I'll have to do that. Does the backup copy apks and everything too? Thanks.
So ROM Toolbox wants me to download busy box and install it onto my phone. What is it? Is there a point to download it? Is there a point to having ROM Toolbox? Saw it would let me backup my ROM and such. Any info you guys can provide would be awesome. Thanks.
busybox is ok. some root required apps need/use it.. I dont know why though.
titanium backup is another app that can backup your device. you must be rooted though.
yeah, I'm rooted. and this is the first ever app that has requested it or asked me to install it, so I'm just curious as to what purpose it serves, if any, and if it will harm my system or do anything crazy if I DO install it?
Busybox is required for some Unix functions that are not available in Android. It complements root access...
You can learn more about it here: http://www.busybox.net
I ended up just saying screw it I can always go to a backup if need be and installed it. Thanks though!
I used an app from the market called Busybox Installer 1.5 to get it installed on my phone. I used the latest version of busybox 1.19.
Same thing I did.
