did you mount /system in rw mode? (it's ro by default)
U dont have write access to system partition in normal use if i read the tutorial right. U have to do it with an update.zip (editing the update script) or with adb both u have to do in recovery menu from modaco i think. Tell me if i am wrong.
Sry for my bad english
@cezarL yes I did
@xtcislove I wish u were wrong..seems like pain.. anyway to do it without a pc?

Damn, you're right. Previously, I had deleted an .apk just to check if it's working, then reinstalled the app right away.
But I just tested now, it looks like after a reboot, the .apk magically reappears, and the application is running as usual

ye..I'm sure it has something to do with the root limitations Paul mentioned in his rooting guide. hope it'll be fixed soon.

Try this: Boot in recovery menu and try the following commands:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/APP.apk
adb shell rm /data/app/APP.apk
where APP.apk is the filename of the apk with the .apk extention, remember case-sensitive!
for example:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/FriendStream.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/FriendStream.odex
take a look before if your app has a odex or try this: (here u need only one command)
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/*FriendStream*
Good luck and have fun =)
Edit: Just find a topic =)

I'm trying to do these things in windows at the moment. No issues getting in the recovery with the windows scripts. But when I try to open a ADB Shell after I've gone to recovery I can't really do anything with it and the recovery hangs (not controllable with the track pad).
Anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong?
You're not doing anything wrong, from what I've seen opening a new adb instance on Windows will kill the server created by the .bat file used for recovery... which means the connection to the device is lost. I haven't looked into it further, but it might be fixeable somehow.
Ah I see, so basicly you undo the patched recovery by opening a new session. It does work properly under Linux then? I run ubuntu on my netbook so It's not a big issue anyway. Thanks for the tip, gonna try under linux now!
I'm having the same problems as:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...co-com/307401/removing-sys-apps/#entry1256015
I removed a load of HTC widgets but I get strange entries on the widget menu. Anyone know how to get rid of these?
Also, I removed Stocks (.apk and .odex), now I get a force close on 'Accounts & sync'. Anyone know how to remove Stocks properly?
Cheers.
After running the bat file to get into recovery, start a new cmd prompt in windows and use again adb-nilezon for shell commands instead of ordinary adb, and it wont be killed.
This has worked for me atleast

The best, foolproof, failsafe way is to remove them from the rom before installing it... and remember that some services are still required, weather you use them or not.
But, if a system app is already installed you need to remove:
the apk from /system/app
the data from /data/data/appname
the cache from /cache/dalvik-cache
Do not remove Accounts & Sync...
Thanks for the answer.
I guess now is a good time to bake my own ROM!

here is a method that worked for me.
1. Turn off your phone (if stuck, just remove the battery).
2. At your command prompt, do "adb logcat > logresult.txt".
3. Plug your phone to your usb and power it.
4. After at least 1-2 minutes or until the phone has fully booted up, terminate your logcat session (ctrl+c)

Yes I think you are wrong.. It can show log generated during installation.. That too if the dev has written any "echo" commands.. It also generates some info like about any problem occurred while installation.. In advanced section has show log option..

Should solve your problem..you might run into more if your following an old guide..you might want to consider using apktool 1.5.2

I will try this when I get home. I tried 1.5.2 but then my global actions came up with hundreds of errors. I believe I tried to delete the errors too, but with everything goes ng on it hard to recall 100%. Ill let you know later. Thank you for the adviceI hope it works!

Yes. If you have adb on your desktop that is the best way to do it for a hot boot.. SDK also has it in the tools section if you have that..
Anyway if you adb go to that directory on your desktop and open a cmd prompt there.. make sure you have USB debugging enabled..and grant the computer access to it if it asks..
Type in cmd prompt:
adb start-server(press enter)
adb devices (press enter)
You should see like a serial number, that is your devices. You should be good to run a log now.
So get ready to press the button that makes you hot boot..then type in cmd prompt:
adb logcat -d > hotboot.txt
Don't hit enter until you hit the button that hot boots your phone.. then once it hot boots hit enter
Also there are plenty of guides on the forums..If you have a problem. Or just post back here and I'll help..
P.S The log will be in the same folder adb is

You may need to just give it some time, it took a good 10 minutes or so for it to finish anything for me over bluetooth. It just sat at the prompt without giving me status information or anything.

abd won't let you put anything in /data or /system, as it's not running in root mode.
You have to push it to /storage/sdcard0/ then enter an adb shell, get root with su, remount /system and copy the zip from /storage/sdcard0/ to /system/media/
So what can we do with this
