Quick question, how do you remove certain APK's?

[LordPain]

Just as the post suggests, i am trying to remove certain Apps (browser, Music Player and messaging mainly) but i don't know how to. Can anyone please help?
Besides instructions on how to remove these apps, can you tell me where i can see like a full list of apps that are on the phone?

Thank you very much for all your help

PS
I am also aware that removing certain apps can cause major problems since its all conected to MotoBlur so if i asked to remove one of those apps, please let me know so i don't screw up my phone

Use ADB.

adb remount
cd system/app
ls

That should give you a full list of the APKs

rm <program.apk> //without the brackets will remove.

You can also do this from the Terminal Emulator on your phone, just leave out the 'adb remount' step. You will need to run 'su' first though, to gain superuser privs.

I'm not sure what removing Messaging will do.

To list all installed apps, you can run "pm list packages -f" from adb shell session:

c:\> adb shell
# pm list packages -f
pm list packages -f
package:/system/app/SocialMessaging.apk=com.motorola.blur.socialmessag ing
package:/system/app/SetupWidget.apk=com.motorola.blur.home.setup
package:/system/app/Setup.apk=com.motorola.blur.setup
package:/system/app/Street.apk=com.google.android.street
package:/data/app/com.conducivetech.android.lite.apk=com.conducivete ch.android.lite
package:/data/app/com.metago.astro.apk=com.metago.astro
...

You could also use DroidExplorer (google it), to install/remove from Windows directly.

To remove system apps, adb remount, then go to /system/app and either rm the apk (and odex if it exist) or bzip2 the file you want to temporarily "disable".
