How-To: Delete Stocks and Peep from your HTC Hero
User Level
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 5 minutes
Requirements
AndroidSDK installed
Rooted HTC Hero
Description
I have a HTC Hero, rooted. I opened Advanced Task Manager to find that Stocks and Peep are running in the background, and reopen every time I try to quit them.
Seeing as I really have no need whatsoever of those applications, I found a way to delete them.
Note: Do make a Nandroid Backup before removing these apps (just in case)
Method
- Connect your HTC Hero to your computer
- Open Terminal/Command Prompt
- Type “adb remount” and press ENTER
- To remove Peep: Type “adb shell rm /system/app/*Twit* and press ENTER
- To remove Stocks: Type “adb shell rm /system/app/*Stock* and press ENTER
- That’s it, both apps should now be gone and no longer appear in your task manager!

Just wondering if it’s possible for you to make a guide on how to root your HTC Hero? All the guides I have read are either confusing or I can’t follow them!
Love the site, really nice design!

Does your website have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d like to send you an e-mail. I’ve got some suggestions for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.

Does this work on non rooted phones. I have an inspire 4G and want to remove the stocks and peep apps. Just not very tech savvy and don’t want to screw things up.

I’ve wanted to root my phone for a while but I never can find instructions that are clear and to the point. It looks like these can be followed even by a technically challenged person like myself.
Thanks

Thanks for sharing, but in reply to jrock81, if you aren’t very tech savvy I would keep away from rooting your phone and deleting files.
