I want to uninstall some stock apps that I got with latest Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM. How to determine which apps I shouldn't uninstall? For example, can i uninstall Facebook apps, Gmail app, news & weather app...
you will only be able to remove system apps if you are rooted.
If you are rooted and S-ON you can do it via recovery and adb, make sure you mount the system folder.
If your running a winblows PC then find android commander use it instead of adb, makes accessing the android phone so much better.
You can delete most of the stuff in the /system/app folder, depends on what you want to keep, I suggest you copy the files from the phone to local PC harddrive before you delete in case you need them back. Just make sure not to delete those file that look like system apps eg rosie.apk settings.apk etc....
If you are S-OFF then you can do it right from the phone
If you don't know what root, S-ON or S-OFF is then maybe not a good idea to play with the system stuff untill you learn all that there is to learn on the subject....
So, I'm new to the Android family and I'm curious about the Super User Account. I have no desire to root and install custom mods, I just want the ability to remove all the bloat ware associated with the phone.
My understanding is that I will need to unlock the boot loader, and then install "something" to create the Super User account.

In order to remove bloat, your device will need to be rooted.
Depending on your device, you may need to unlock the bootloader. Otherwise, you'll just need to root. Superuser is a root management app which allows you to grant other apps root access (or deny).
IMO the best application to remove bloatware (after rooting your phone) is Link2SD
I use titanium to remove bloatware, it gives you the option to freeze the apps first in case you remove the wrong apps. Once frozen if everything is still ok then it's safe to remove

I am trying to root a Yusun T22 that I bought on dx.com. I am trying with a program called VRoot. It says it has root permissions but the menus look the same and I still cannot remove unwanted applications. What should look different after being rooted and how would I remove unwanted programs.
hi, i want to remove unused google apps installed in /system/app (play magazine , play video, play music ecc...) AND removing them i free the phone from services running in background and killing battery, ALSO i don't use them so i DON'T want them (don't say i can disable it's not the same)
my phone i rooted (XT1524 with 6.0) but if i delete the update and remove the app from /system/app using a tool like root explore or es file manager phone goes in bootloop.
there is a way to remove those app?
Only by unlocking your bootloader, then root yo device and you are good to go. Titanium Backup or something like that.
you have to be careful. Try with Titianium.

my phone is unlocked and rooted (i said it in my opening post), it's impossible to delete something in /system if the phone don't have root access....
so...
the problem remain: deleting google play apps result in a bootloop
