After accepting a system update, I found that T-Mobile installed TeleNav GPS on my phone. Tech tier support tells me there is no way to remove it since it is installed as a "system level" app or something.

I'd really like to remove it, because it interferes with the default Google Navigation app, coming up no matter how many times I set the defaults.

I planned to root the phone, following the instructions on rootzwiki, but after running Revolutionary I got this message:

Your device: doubleshot, with HBOOT 1.45.0013 is not supported at this time

I've read elsewhere I can unlock my bootloader with software from HTC, but that this will completely format the phone, erasing all personal data, installed apps, and messages.

Do I have any other options to remove this hostile GPS application?

There is an application called Root Uninstaller Pro 2.7, with the sole purpose of allowing users uninstall either SYSTEM or REGULAR applications.

To download it to your phone via WAP:

  • Appreciate the links, but it appears this app only works if you already have root, which I don't. – axiomx11 Jun 24 '12 at 21:16

    If you overcome the issue of your personal data, by performing a backup, a world of solutions should present themselves :) (I've got many solutions, but for your device they require the wipe-clean process) – Zuul Jun 24 '12 at 21:36
  • Ok, if that is what I have to do, I will do it then. Thanks. – axiomx11 Jun 24 '12 at 21:58
  • Another user here helped me get root, and I was able to use the uninstaller program you suggested. TeleNav is gone now, thanks! – axiomx11 Jun 28 '12 at 00:38
