Root remove apps from terminal

[robotobos]

im using terminal to try and remove native apps but...im here instead

i do:
su
cd system/app
rm -r CorpCal.apk

and i get:
rm failed for CorpCal.apk, Read-Only file system

my limited use with fedora leads me to believe the system has to be mounted

a definite 'thanks' for helping hands.

after su:
mount -o rw,remount /system

and after the rm ... :
pm uninstall <package name> (may not be necessary)

to mount system ro again, I believe it's:
mount -o remount,ro /system

I always use adb from the computer, as it's just 'adb remount' to toggle rw/ro, but I'm pretty sure the above is correct.

right on man, thanks!

i did have to modify the mount cmd to say:
mount -o rw,remount yaffs2 /system

but u got me there - the 'pm uninstall' was met with 'Failure', but those annoying apps are gone from the launcher, and thats what i wanted!

Yeah, recently the pm uninstall has returned 'failure' for me as well. On older roms I had to use that command to remove trace bits of the program from the manage applications page. Glad to have helped!
