Cant remove Stock apps? Root Explorer and Unrevoked3

Hey Guys.
I "rooted" my HTC Desire by T-Mobile using Unrevoked3.
Then i flashed a Pre-Rooted Froyo:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997
Now i wanted to use the "Root Explorer" to remove Apps like "FriendStream" and stuff.
I was able to delete them, but the still keep running.
Then i rebooted and they are still there although deleted with Root Explorer and Super-User permit.
Is it possible that unrevoked is just a "*****-root" i can just use to flash Images but not for mounting /system (R/W) and removing Apps?
What can i do now? Hope u can help me

the desire dosent have an unlocked spl yet so even a rooted desire dosent have r/w access to /system/ when booted, there are two ways around it, either delete the apps using adb in recovery mode or flash a rom that utilises the new file overlay system that will give you r/w access to /system/

It more or less sounds like you don't understand the meaning of being root. On a system like android, running something with root or superuser permissions will normally allow the app or command to have full access and rights. This is gained by adding a binary called su and the superuser app, which is for controlling which apps gets root access. So actually unrevoked or any other root methods is not about gaining root, but about being able to put these files on the system partition, which it also does.
Now this is not the case on newer HTC handsets, because they have nand protection, which prevent write access to /system even though an app is run with root access. this is controlled by hboot, and in order to allow rw to /system, we will need an s-off hboot. This is not yet available, but the unrevoked team is working on it.
So the socalled "*****" root just shows me that you don't know, what you are talking about
edit: for now if you want to remove apps, you will need to flash a new rom, where you have removed the apk files yourself, or you will have to learn some adb commands, which you can use to edit system partition while in recovery with rw access.

Using adb in Recovery to backup/remove them is very simple (for removal i.e adb shell rm dir/name.apk) however many default apps break other workings and/or cause confusing unexpected errors if removed. I learnt first hand when removing many pre-installed apps. So be careful and always backup.

How can I tell which roms utilize the new file overlay system? Im also having the same problem especially with programs starting up after I've disabled them.

We have s-off now. Look for that, or use adb.

[Q] How can I delete the internal software?

For some internal softwares such as "Finance/Listen/music..." may not be used, I want to delete these softwares. But I can't find the way or app to do it. How can I do?
Thanks!

If you are rooted, go to market and get a file explorer for root. You can access system files. Make sure the fike explorer has su permissions and once in file manager you mount from ro to rw and go to system / app. I use root explorer. Hope this helps. Titanium Backup easiest. It has an uninstall feature.

Yeah just to simplify the other guy's response just use titanium backup. Then go to the backup/restore tab, find the finance app, then tap it and select uninstall. It's that easy

In my experiences, I'd say that disabling the app would be a better option. I only say this because the recent OTA update wouldn't go because Google Goggles was completely uninstalled and there was no way for me to force the installation. I ended up jumping through hoops and balancing a ball on my nose to get the app re-installed so that the update would be clean.
In short, you might run into issues in future updates, should there be any, if you uninstall apps. If you don't want it shown or running, disabling it won't run the service and the icon disappears. Besides, the amount of disk space you gain from removing it is incredibly small.

while i agree that disabling the apps was best when we didn't have perm root, now we can write to /system so if an update comes out we can just put the apps back and apply, or wait a few hours and get a rooted update with all the stuff we need from the OTA and we don't have to worry about stuff not working because app X was removed

Root access for some apps

Anyone knows how to make some apps gain root access?is it need to be rooting the whole system?or can we just use ADB?
So the case is, i have developed my own apps on android tv, but my apps require root access for "su" command.
