Amazon mp3 how do i get rid of this app?

[fearmarkus5]

I have a G1 phone, so I've been trying to manage my application section. I would like to get more memory on my phone by getting rid of Amazon mp3 since I do not use this app that often. Somehow Tmobile & google somehow does not want me to get rid of this app because when i go to manage apps, there is no "uninstall" button on the screen?? I wonder why...hmmmm? If anyone has a trick up there G1 sleeve to uninstall this app without destroying any G1 programming please let me know!!!

It's part of the OS, just like messagine, IM, gmail, etc. Since you wondered why...

Good luck finding ROOT and getting rid of some stuff.

been wondering the same exact thing.

Sooner or later, once devs learn a bit more about the functions of android with the root, we will be able to uninstall anything...

and it's NOT partt of the OS because the DEV version of the phone does not contain amazon or IMs

If you have root:

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/com.amazon.mp3.apk

I deleted it from Terminal Emulator last night. So far no issues.

I'm awful on linux programming on terminal emulator. If no one has an easier route , could someone send me the step by step directions?

[dwang]

install adb on windows (do a google on it). connect your g1 via usb and then run "adb shell" to get a shell prompt to your g1.

Or:
1) Root your G1, if you haven't already.
2) Install Terminal Emulator, if you don't already have it.
3) Install DroidSans Tweaks (not Lite version).
4) Run DroidSans and mount /system as read/write.
5) Run Terminal Emulator.
6) Type "su", hit enter.
7) Type "rm /system/app/com.amazon.mp3.apk", hit enter.
8) Type "exit", hit enter.
9) Repeat step #8.
10) Go back to DroidSans and mount /system as read-only.

Not really wondering why, more or less an inside joke, since amazon probably paid money to put this app on the Android OS they made sure that consumers will have a hard time to uninstall it!
