Hi there,
i hope this question wasn asked too often, but all links i found via search didnt help me.

is there a way to delete/uninstall preinstalled apps? when i go to manage apps the uninstall button is greyed out and these apps realy annoy me...

what i found via search was that these apps cant be deleted, but hidden, but all links to apps which could do that were broken or the app was removed from the market.

so if there is a way to delete these apps could u gimme a link or tell me which apps can hide them?

best regards!

Unfortunately, there is no way to uninstall carrier loaded apps. They are "baked in" to the ROM and are stored in a partition that a standard user can get access to. If you are rooted then it is possible to either remove or freeze these apps. It's a shame they can not be uninstalled easily, but it's the way the carriers mandate it.

Hope this helps.

What I have done with my Cappy is move them way over onto the 7th screen. That way I don't have to see them or accidently open them. Anyway that was my answer to the problem.

You can delete them off the screens, just long press and drag them to the trash, but they will still be in the app drawer. No way to delete them off there.
