If anyone knows how and could walk us through the process post it up! This would be very helpful to free up space/memory.:D
 
First make sure you have usb debugging enabled in application development settings. Install z4root by Googling it and clicking in first link. After opening, if you have METRO, choose temporary root. Then install titanium backup from market. :) P.S. Make sure you do not uninstall mail@metro as it will cause problems.
 
If you rooted already, just download Titanium Backup from Market.
 
I did that, but i did permanent root. Now which programs are ok to uninstall and which ones are not?
 
I deleted :

Boingo
Uno
Pocket Express
Youtube
Docs to Go
Free Games
Loopt
Mocospace
Mobile Banking
Mobile IM
Virtual Card



DO NOT DELETE:

Mailmetro
Navigation
Easy Wifi
metro appstore
Nothing thats by google
 
burner, i deleted mainly what you have on your lists and have had no problems either but then again i only froze them, i only deleted uno and the free games.

also question for josey, is there a reason you recomend temp root vs. perm root for metro? i have metro, it was my first time rooting but i did permanent and all seems fine should i change that?

Im not Josey but I'll chime in here. A temporary root. Simply means your phone is rooted until you turn it off. Then you would have to do it again.

A permanent root is better. Z4root also has an unroot option as well.
 
yeah i read up a bit between the two options before i did it seeing how it was my first time but i went with permanent and it seems all is ok and yes i also saw that unroot option.

The reason i chose temp. Was because SOME Metro users were saying permanent didn't work for them, but if it worked for you, then its ok

How do you install z4root. I got lost when you said about the usb bebugging, I enabled it then idk what to do next
 
Joser are you online? I just tried to d/ld z4root from the xda-developer site and the install was unsuccessful. Got this message:

<Unknown>
forum.xda-developers.com
Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone.

I have USB debugging on. Also, have it set to accept unknown apps etc.

Any ideas?

Try Dolphin Browser Mini.
 
I have removed everything mero except metro web and metro easy wifi and have no problems runnung my ascend at all. i'm even thinking about deleteing my metro web since i use opera
 
Just want to say thank you to Burner for actually posting a pretty complete list of what can be deleted on a Metro Ascend. Very helpful.

Thanks again
 
You can't go wrong using ROOT EXPLORER Just Back up first the .apk and .odex you want to delete.
I bought this phone for my G/f rooted and deleted all the crapware the first minute I got back home.
(Easier to root than My Samsung Moment)
Boingo
Uno
Free Games
Loopt
Mocospace
Mobile Banking
Mobile IM
Virtual Card
Metro Back up. (useless) since your contacts are always backed since you use gmail.
I deleted Metro app store and easy wifi since Android has it's native wifi and haven't had any issues.
 
Actually, removing MetroPCS Easy Wifi won't affect your wifi at all, and will actually save you even more battery life. This is because every time you enable your wifi, easy wifi starts shortly after, and is really useless. I read all it does is help save wifi connection information such as pw and settings, meanwhile normal wifi can do that. Just do not delete anything google related.
 
yup they are right i rooted my phone and worked out great z4root is the way to go easy and fast. also i got set cpu u can overclock your phone and makes it run nice and fast. also once u get rid of the shitty metro apps our phone will work a lot faster.

When you turn it back on, do you see a new app in your drawer called Superuser?
