I feel that before rooting an Android device, we must understand why we do it and what we gain and loose."

In this post, will guide you to remove an application only with system commands and without any GUI or market apps; this technique will make you understand the Android Operating System a little more. In this example, I decided to remove the stock Quick Office application, only because I have a Quick Office Pro license. You should be able to use the same method for any system applications. This post assumes that you are familiar with .apk files, you have the Android Developer Kit installed and configured, a rooted phone, and busybox installed; if you don’t, please get familiar with the subjects and install the pre-requisites before continuing. There is enough information on the Internet on how to do it.
