Is there an easy way to remove pre-installed apps on my HTC Droid Incredible?

  • Amazon MP3
  • Car Panel
  • City ID
  • Footprints
  • Friend Stream
  • Skype mobile
  • Stocks
  • Teeter
  • VZ Navigator

Are there risks involved in removing them, such as a voided warranty?

Thanks.

You can only fully uninstall pre-installed applications by using ADB. You need to find out what the package name is for the specific app, and enter this in the ADB prompt:

adb uninstall <package.name>

For example, to remove the Maps application:

adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

So far I haven't found an easy way to figure out the package name for an app though.
