But once your unlocked and rooted, then there are apps you can use to uninstall system apps or u can use a file explorer such as root explorer, and manually delete them yourself
Edit: lol sorry i keep thinking of different things. Easy way for u to go, get the paid version of titanium backup, and you can uninstall them with that

If you don't want to root, then just make a folder and hide all the junk, unless really strapped for memory, then definitely recommend rooting and getting a file like astro and the like to get rid of the junk.

I really want to root my phone but i would really like to know the pros and cons
Pros are you can use more apps to control your phone, backup all your apps and even use then across android devices (I have a nook color also). There aren't really any down sides, I think the only reason they don't come rooted is do people can't break it as easy on accident.

I've got an issue. Long story short i've got two versions of Spiderman on my phone. The demo and the full which means I've got two separate icons. I want to get rid of the demo version. Is it possible to use a temp root solution to get rid of the demo spiderman.

No, they come back. All changes are reverted regardless of what app/method/prayer you use. Lol.
While we're on the same topic, how do I use TitaniumBackup to remove apps?
I can't figure it out.
Or do you have to have TitaniumBackupPro?
Give this a try.

If you use adb to disable instead of removing them...they will still be disabled after a reboot.
If you use titanium backup to freeze any apps, they actually stay frozen after reboot. Haven't tried removing any though. I've had main bloatware apps frozen since temp root was first released. Have rebooted many times since then.

I have to throw in support for my app Flash Image GUI as it allows the flashing of kernels and recoveries from android w/o rebooting to recovery mode.
I consider it essential, but that might be a biased opinion!
Glad you're rooted!

Question on Titanium Backup. I had purchased a key for the full version when I had the 4G but now it doesn't show as purchased. Anyone know why that might be?
As far as doing an entire phone back up, what are recommended steps before jumping into a rom?
Thanks again for refreshing my mind.

I think we need root to restore the AOL plus data using titanium. Same as sensation. The question is why hulu doesn't work on amaze when they have very similar specs. Hulu is slacking.

I dont remember which forum I got this from. but from what I understand is it's a backup of hulu off a droidx, use TI backup to restore. in the original thread people from other phones were saying it was working, so I'm hopeful it'll help us too until Hulu officially supports... Problem is need root for TI I'm still having issues getting the temp root, so maybe someone that did get that working can give it a shot.

I can't get it to work on 1.4.1. Only 1.3.0 and earlier.
That's weird, I used the ti backup that I posted earlier on 1.4.1 without doing anything extra.... Fc or buffering network problems? x is using an adfree base, if it's network problems need to use adfree and do a revert or mod your hosts to stock... Which you probably know anyway, but just a reminder

I'll give that a try.
Yeah it shows up as "It appears you are having network issues. Please wait, or try again later."
But when I flash 1.2.1 it clears right up. I tried pushing the 1.2.1 build.prop over and that doesn't make any difference. I'll try the adfree bit as you suggested.
EDIT:
Holy sh!#
It actually worked. You sir... are a GODSEND! You have no clue. Now I can have my cake and eat it too. Hulu+ was the only reason I was staying on 1.2.0.
Thanks for the tip!

There is no other known way to root the device at this time. I'm sure something will come over the next weeks to months but at the moment you are "screwed".
To save yourself from being criticized post any questions in the Q and A forum and not in the dev forum.

root access wont remain after a reboot....you still can freeze/unfreeze with tibu
Gotcha, so a temp root is like a tethered jailbreak on the iphone. It'll work until I need to reboot. If I temp root I'm assuming I can flash a ROM and the softkey remap??

well you cant flash it because temproot doesnt allow you to install a recovery (afaik)
you could conceivably push the files to /system/ while temprooted and then reboot to apply the changes...but i dont know if the changes stick (never actually temp rooted, but there is some wackiness)...maybe someone else can chime in

From my experience:
Temp root simply adds the su command to the /system partition and allows user-apps to call on it when needed. If you can flash a recovery image via a su terminal, then it would allow a recovery, but I think that is where different phones vary in their temp root capabilities.
You can put files on the /system partition, but replacing the entire partition over ADB would be quite a stretch.
