Unable to uninstall SoundHound application from android
I am having serious problems with the [SoundHound application](https://market.android.com/details?id=com.melodis.midomiMusicIdentifier.freemium), from my HTC Desire S unit.

I should be able to remove it in the standard way, by entering "Applications > Manage Applications", finding SoundHound and uninstalling it. But alas, I have no options. All buttons are disabled. If the application is launched, I have the option of "Force stop" and "Clear data" available.

In the Android Market I am only able to "Update (manual)" - and if I do so, I then only have the options of "Open" and "Uninstall updates"

Then I figured it would be possible through *adb*, using the package-name found through *adb shell* to be `com.melodis.midomiMusicIdentifier.freemium` - and then do an uninstall on that.

    lobner@:~$ ./adb uninstall com.melodis.midomiMusicIdentifier.freemium
    Failure

I think the above attempts may fail, because the `.apk` file is located in the `/system/app` folder on my device.
And I seem to be unable to mount the folder, which may be due to the unit not being rooted.

    lobner@:~$ ./adb shell mount system/app
    Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

And I can not just remove it, it seems

    lobner@:~$ ./adb shell rm system/app/SoundHound_Freemium.apk
    rm failed for system/app/SoundHound_Freemium.apk, Read-only file system

Does anyone have ***any*** ideas, how to (force)remove an app from a non-rooted phone?
