How to remove preinstalled apps on Xperia X10 Mini Pro

With this tutorial you will be able to remove stock apps that come when you buy your phone(goldrush, wisepilot, creatouch, roadsync) for this you need to root your phone (If you haven’t –follow this simple guide).

Then…

Open the shell by running “adb shell” on your command prompt.

adb shell

Change directory to /system/app

cd /system/app

List the currently installed apps

ls

And to remove an app,  run the command

rm –r [appname].apk

The apps I uninstalled were:

rm -r rollercoaster.apk
rm -r peggle.apk
rm -r california-gold-rush.apk
rm -r roadsync.apk
rm -r creatouch-2.apk

And that is it… (Simple, right?)

Make sure to not uninstall system-wide apps such as Timescape or Homescreen, as this may break your android and you might have to reinstall stock firmware and start all over again…)
