Block or disable phone's default apps and internet access

[Enteractiva]

Hi,
Im building a business app in which I would like to block and or remove all default apps so the phone will only have my app, I would also like to restrict internet access.

We are planning to use a Samsung Galaxy mini, any ideas how can I do this?

Thanks,

The only way to block or stop stock apps is to be rooted.

Exactly right, you must root and uninstall whatever apps you don't want. In my early rooting days I learned that you can not remove google talk or the market will not work.

Just keep in mind that occasionally depending on the phone that there are some apps you just can not remove. Best to ask in the phone specific section for advice on your particular phone.

Once you're rooted, you can use DroidWall to limit internet access too.

That's not true across the board...I have a SE Xperia X10, rooted, and one of the first apps I removed from my phone was Google Talk and my Market has always worked just fine.

SE probably paid more for its Android license.
