Hey guys I can't seen to find where these two apps are installed so I can delete them.
Anyone can point me in the right direction? Thanks

They are all in /system/apps. Use any file explorer app that has root access and remove them. Titanium backup does this too..

I deleted all the stock apps that I didn't want from system/app but those two I couldn't find in there. Any particular name that they go by other than the obvious name?

That, I don't know. I use titanium backup to delete because it has them listed as you would see them in the drawer. Plus, with its icon to make it easy to recognize.

In case you didnt figure this out - the name of the app is LiveSource.apk /system/app/LiveSource.apk (411 & More) and Name ID is "ECID" something

I'm on mikifroyo and wanted to get rid of some apps like Facebook news Twitter all that. I know its probably easy but can someone help? Thanks

Just lookup "Root Uninstaller" in the Market. It let me finally get rid of the NASCAR app.
Isn't it just a matter of removing the apk from the /system/app folder? I'm sure there's more to it, so hopefully someone more in the know can chime in.
My recommendation- Use Titanium Backup to do it. It's easy as can be and you can also back up the app before deleting it just in case you want it back.
If you have root explorer you can go to /system/app and set it to RW as opposed to RO and delete the apks of what you don't want....

how do I extract the rom in my evo, so I can do more mod on my pc?
Sent from my pimp out evo using xda premium
You can just take the apk's that you want to mod out and mod them that way I'm not much of a themer to help you with that.
To remove apps that you don't want or anything you don't want you can use a file manager with root like es or root explorer and just delete them.
You can also just do this to the ROM before you flash it using 7zip or something similar.

I was able to remove apps with scrip manager, but to add apps that I want like the new htc music from sense 3.5 "they call it listen" I couldn't add it. I used app manager to install it, but it would say, app did not install 8(

I'm not real good with that stuff but I on don't think you can have 2 htc music apks at the same time also if its not for that ROM I would think it might need to be signed the right way not sure on that.
But you can try putting it in system/app then change permissions to rw-r-r then reboot .
Make sure you have a backup messing with things like that.

Is there any way to add some apps/games to pre-installed ?
If there is a way to do it please tell me how im a newbie and I might ask alot of questions.
Regards,
JC2
Well basically pre-installed means "installed apps, (if paid or under the copyright such as google apps) still protected by the law but legally and originally dependend to the ROM provided by manufacturer/producer/network operator/developer and free to use for everyone who owns the device" which is mainly the phone.
So I think there is no reasonable way to add pre-installed games/apps, but only download/buy them and just install...
I don't really see the point of this question but I'll be happy if my post helps you.
Cheers!
Put the apk in the system/app folder then install it.
That doesn't sound like what you're asking, but the closest I know you can do. Or you can use Titanium Backup to convert it to a system app.

How can I use titanium backup to convert it to a system app?
In Titanium Backup long press the app and choose convert to system app. You need the paid for version though.

Well after installing the LH9 update, my battery life is horrible like so many others.
I am going to downgrade back to a rooted LG1, and I want to prevent the OS from trying to do the OTA update again.
I've googled and done some searches on here, and read a few ways, but wanted to know if someone can clarify an easy way to do it.
Not to sound cheap, but I'd hate to buy Titanium backup just to freeze one thing, being as I wouldn't use the program for anything else.
I also read about just deleting the AT&T update program. But an not sure the best way to do that.
So I am just seeking an easy way to just stop the update process without having to spend money on apps I wouldn't use for anything else.
Using tibu to freeze an app is the exact same thing as disabling it in application settings. I think what your looking for is device management. I think.

Ok I just looked and it's called "AT&T Software Update" and you can't disable it normally in the phone. The option is grayed out.
Are there any free programs to Freeze apps? I wouldn't mind buying TiBu if I felt I would get more use out it. But for now I only need it to do that one thing, so I just can't justify the cost of it, being as it isn't too cheap.
TiBu is the best $6 I've spent on this hobby.
If your not rooted tibu won't do you any good anyway. But if you are rooted, go into system/app folder and either rename or move the apk in question. OTA no more.

go to system/app and delete wssyncmldm.apk and wssyncmldm.odex that will stop it. I would move them to your sdcard and keep them in case you need them again.

Thanks for the great info you guys.
Is there a free explorer app which will give access to the system/app folder? Or is Root Explorer the only option?
Thanks.
ES File explorer will, just enable root explorer in settings.
When I try to delete the apk and odex through es file explorer it always fails. Anyway to get around this? I'm a n00b.

Make fure you enable root explorer in es explorer settings and make system writable (also in settings).
Using root explorer where are the paid apps stored...they don't seem to be in data/apps

Not sure why you'd want to find them but if you're trying to get it for free (or something like that), you're in the wrong place.
If that's not the case, mind clarifying why you're looking for them?

I paid for root explorer so that I can explore the files and folders on my phone. I noticed that half of the apps I have installed are not in the same location as I usually would see them....not sure what you mean by get them for free when they are paid apps already on my phone. Do I need to forward you google receipts...not everyone is trying to get everything for free. This is not my first post and if you were to check my previous posts you would see that I'm always taking time to help others in the pasts. Thanks anyways.
Btw Im looking for them because I like to theme some of my apps. You'll see I made a tutorial over a year ago on how to use 7zip to theme your phone or apps.

Slow down for a sec... I'm sorry you took this in the wrong way. There just isn't any reason to be looking for a app with root explorer unless you wanna extract it (I won't explain the process of stealing paid apps), which is why I was asking your reasons for it.
Either way, as you probably noticed, not all apps install in the same folders (often games). Some of them are installed under system/app, others in data/data and of course, data/app (there might be other folders).
You could also use TiBu to backup the apk, pull it from your phone (in the TiBu folder) and do your magic from there.
P.S.: Reading with a smile helps to avoid confusion and taking things the wrong way
I too pull the apps and theme them for myself. For Root Explorer and probably other paid apps I too am not sure where they are now. Root Explorer was always under data/apps but after its update I have not found it. It has a built in theme kind of where you can choose some of the images seen (text file,picture file, etc.) but I was just wanting to theme them color wise but I haven't found it yet. I will let you know if I find it, please do the same. I will do a complete search of all files to see if I can locate where it is hidden.
I also know some of the apps stuff is located in data/data but when you find speed software there it doesn't have the files I am looking for.
EDIT: I FOUND IT. It is called pkg.apk or red.zip and is located in mnt/asec/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer-1/pkg.apk
