The stock Android apps are stored in /system/app instead of /data/app where your installed apps are stored. /system is a read-only partition so in order to remove anything from it you will need root on the phone in order to remount it as writeable. That said you would only need temporary root access. Most people root their Android phones by getting temporary root access and flashing a custom recovery image and ROM so that have permanent root access. It also possible to get root access once, make whatever changes you need and then reboot the phone and no longer have root. This can be done on the Idiot with a number of different exploits that you can find via Google such as psneuter or rageagainstthecage. You basically copy the exploit to your phone using ADB and then run it and then you log into the phone with ADB shell as root. With root you can remount the /system partition as writeable using ADB remount. I have gotten as far as removing some of the stock apps from the phone this way. Once the system partition is writeable you can delete apps from the phone using ADB shell by deleting the .apk and .odex files (e.g. rm /system/app/GenieWidget.apk). I did this just to reduce the amount of stuff in the app tray so I haven't tried to reinstall them on the SD card. It might be possible instead to copy to the apps you want to remove to your PC using ADB pull, then delete them from the phone as above and finally reinstall them after setting the install location to the SD card using pm. I'm not sure that this would work but you never know. Even if it does work, I'm not sure it would actually you save you any space on your phone since /system is separate partition from /data and /data is probably where you are running out of space. To take advantage of the space freed up by deleting the apps you would have to repartition the phone to reduce the size of /system and increase the size of /data which I think would be quite a challenge and probably quite risky. WARNING: any time you try to hack your phone like this you risk really messing it up so be careful and don't blame me if something goes wrong. If you do get into trouble you can always restore your phone to its original factory state by downloading the firmware image and reinstalling it from the SD card. You can get the original Safaricom firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Huawei_U8150_IDEOS. However this will wipe all your data from the phone. Josh
