Use Root Explorer to rename anything you don't want to run. *.apk to *.apk.bak or whatever you want.

im in root explorer what directory do i go into..cause i cant find the email and other stuff

/system/app

 

[iamloco724]

it says cant rename because the file system is read only

it says cant rename because the file system is read only

you need to enable R/W (read/write) mode - it's the R/W button at the top of the screen in root explorer

I like "Startup auditor" for this. Just easier. And it keeps them closed if you like!
