I'm trying to use Droid Explorer to remove some of the bloatware from my Intercept, but while everything connects just fine, when I attempt to use the uninstall option, DE crashes.

 

I tried just deleting apps instead of uninstalling them, but it doesn't seem to have any effect at all. I can right-click-delete ten times, and AmazonMP3.apk just sits there like "whut? you thought I was goin' anywhere?"

 

I'm pretty certain I have root, as when I go into Terminal Emulator and type su, I get # back.

I am having the same problem.

I installed BRUT Google maps and wanted to uninstall the stock maps app. DE begins to uninstall then crashes.

camalot, are you using the x86 or x64 version of Droid Explorer?

Also, have you made any progress to resolve this issue...

Same issue here, pretty much identical. App crashes trying to uninstall Amazon MP3. Samsung Epic rooted running 2.2 on Win XP x86

I'm having the same issue. I've tried remounting the system file as read/write but no luck with that either.

Win7 x64, Samsung Acclaim, 2.1. Everything else seems to work but mine locks up uninstalling system apps too.

This issue is confirmed. It has to do with the /system being mounted initially as ReadOnly. Droid Explorer (pre-1.0) does not remount /system as Read/Write. once de-1.0 is released (still a while out) this will be addressed.

This has to be done in a way that lets the user know that the file system will be remounted, and safely. This is why it is not present in DE currently but it is something that will be in the next major version.
