Help Can I remove apps like Moxier???

[ashjnk2010]

I was looking through my phone and noticed that a lot of pre-installed apps I don't use. Apps such as the Moxier ones, Quadrapop are the ones I am on about.

I have looked in the normal apps list to uninstall these but they aren't they. How can I delete these??

Hi.

You need to root, then use Titanium Backup to remove them.

Thanks X10iUser. Was just about to ask how to do it and just seen the link in your signature.

Well it's a bit different after the new update, what firmware are you running? Settings - About Phone

2.1 Update 1 (im on Vodafone)

What are the benefits of Root??? Also do I have to back everything up i.e. SMS, Phonebook, Apps etc

The firmware is listed under Build Number? If it ends 504, then download, install and run - z4root.1.3.0.apk, once rooted , download install and run xRecovery, and make a backup of your phone.

Then install Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware via xRecovery which will give you a rooted version of the latest SE update, which can't be rooted with the usual methods at the moment. Then install TB and remove what you don't want, or install a ROM which comes with all the crap removed, then you can build on that if you want.

What are the benefits of Root???

In a nutshell, it allows you to mod the phone.

Also do I have to back everything up i.e. SMS, Phonebook, Apps etc

Your contacts should already be backed up, as for your apps, depending on how many you've got it's up to you.
