No.
You can backup all your data and apps using mybackup though.
Now we haven't yet got fully root of desire.

How to remove stock apps ?
rooted HTC Evo with UnrEVOked 3 using stock 2.2 Froyo Rom
I was told to try titanium backup app but that didn't work either
Root explorer also didn't do much .
Anyone know a way that really works ? I just can't stand those apps running in the background all day .

Titanium Backup and Root Explorer should both work. If they arent, maybe you arent fully rooted. And FYI, the apps are not "running" in the background, just cached.
Good to know thx
So how do I turn fully rooted ?
Is this that Nand unlock ? That I keep reading in the forums ? I'm still new at this .
Thx for your help again

The problem may be that the rom isn't rooted. I'm presuming that since you are "rooted" you have a custom recovery (clockworkmod/AmonRa). Try flashing a stock froyo rooted rom. I believe Sprint lovers will do the trick, though i've never flashed a stock rooted rom. it will give you root privileges sufficient enough to remove system apps
I'm using the stock Froyo 2.2 Rom
Rooted via UnrEVOked 3 .

Isn't a rooted phone required for TB?

Yes, that is correct.
That is true sorry, you can use the temp root to backup and then temp root to recover again. Once you reboot after recovering the root will be gone again and your back to stock.

Hi, I upgraded my HTC Desire s os, it became a litle slower. What really bug me more is the market. I don't want it as its is slow and consumes my data usage. Each time I uninstall updates it updates itself again. Pls how can I stop this automatic update and is there a way to remove the os update as well?
Thanks

Toggle read only to / read-write.. that is if you are using a root file explorer.

adb backup and adb restore should work (as well as copying the associated data from the SD card if it's used).
I'll look it up cheers
