Remove Amazon From Cyanogen ROM   December 18th, 2009

Does anyone actually use the Amazon MP3 app that comes bundled with the Cyanogen ROMs? I’ve always found it annoying that it is not able to be removed from the Manage Applications applet, but of course, there is another way to cleanly uninstall it.

Simply open your Terminal Emulator app and type the following:

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock03 /system
rm /system/app/com.amazon.mp3.apk

That’s it, no more Amazon!

Of course you can also use this method to remove other apps by changing the appropriate file in the code.  Enjoy!
