How do you completely remove a pre-installed game? I tried to remove "Millionaire 2010" by deleting the capcom folder but the icon's still showing when I go into games on my phone. Any ideas?
First , you cannot "completely" get rid of pre-installed apps, that is why most of us use custom ROMs here ...
The Preinstalled games are cooked into your rom, they will come back if you ever have to hard reset ...
If the Icon bugs you that much goto "My Device" /windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games , and you will find the lnk to delete .....

I tried to add some apps to a clean official 2.1 generic rom!
I added all to data/app,but tried system/app,too and then signed
the rom again!
But if I flashed the rom not all apps shown at phone!
What is the problem,why some apps works and other not?
Rootexplorer,Titanium Backup,Autokiller and Linpack works,but
Tapatalk Pro and Zeam Launcher or other Launcher don`t works!
Now I don't know but you might have ran out of space on the phone.
Just sayin
If you put it under data on a "fresh" ROM with no data I have no idea why it does that but if you had apps installed before:

Tried with this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714075
Data/app included at the ROM!
Maybe I have to delete some apps,before I add the new apps!
But from the Android Market we can install many apps,so
why it should not possible to add several apps to the ROM?
P.S.Sorry for bad english
Your phone has a memory limit if you reach your limit it won't install the app.
Hm,but memory limit with 7 apps?
From Market I can install more then 7 apps!
EDIT:
Tried now only with "Tapaptalk Pro" not working!
Maybe anybody can check the app,why don`t work if I try to add to the ROM!
Mod edit: Attachment removed, posting licensed apps is against forum rules, first and final warning.
Nobody can help?
Why some apps works if I add them to the ROM and other
don`t available after add them to the ROM and sign the ROM?
Maybe there are problems with classes.dex/odex files?
system/app is where programs like HTC's programs, Gui and other important programs is stored for the phone to access it quicker?
Correct me if i'm wrong.
And the Data is where the programs that you want to install outside the system folder. So you would need to place the .apk's there, and change to setup script or something similar?
Yes,I tried both methods,but some apps not available at phone,after
signing and flashing the ROM!
Some other apps works
I only know apps,lib`s etc.are stored at "MANIFEST.MF"
The apps which I added are stored there,but not all available
at phone!
Example:
Code:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.0 (Android SignApk)

I have 2.08 hspl and tried to delete the blockbuster app and all that spam crap but it says that I can not delete ROM files..? Is there a way around this with out building my own ROM?

nope; if it is part of a rom it stays. instead of building your own, you could install someone elses, i guess.
So WM is nothing like Android in the sense that you can delete system files from Android but not able to in WM?
When you say 'delete', do you mean 'uninstall'?

Indeed, I want to go in and make the WM system as lean as possible. Uninstalling or removing everything unnecessary or the programs/services I find unnecessary for myself.

correct (granted i know nothing about android; but your statement of WM is what i have seen as true). once it is cooked into the rom, it stays. the only way to remove it is to install a different rom. i believe you can delete things, though this is likely to cause problems and leading to a hard reboot.

there are many "lean" roms out there; some completely custom and some as close to stock minus bloatware. again, you are allowed only to uninstall things you have installed (not that are installed in the rom.) i would check 'em out.
Hi, I just would like to ask how you guys doing your BackUps of ypur TG01. I can see lots of as is traing different cooked rooms and i cnow how to restore my ow personal data like phone book, sms, email or so but how i can restore installed applications, software and all staff i had on my phone installed before i change the Room but with home screen or UI from the new Room.
I du not believe all of you is installing all applications aver again and again after you change the room with different UI like SPB or HTC Sence.
Thanks
Roman
Good question! I've always had the same curiosity, because as I have a lot of apps installed on my device and I need it for my private and professional life, I had never tested any ROM, not for the PIM dates (easy to recover from Pimbackup or the useful Microsoft MyPhone) but to avoid installing all the apps again!
Recently and to avoid this problem, I've bought a cheap screen scratched TG01 , just for testing roms!
But coming back to your question, I'm interested in the answer as well!

I will say the answer is VERY simple!!!
You just need a bit of help from cooks! It's tricky job but works mostly!
XDA_UC
This is an app that can be cooked within the ROM. Before you flash a new ROM, all you need to do is check if the ROM has XDA_UC or not. If your new ROM has XDA_UC, then simply create a folder in your SD card as "XDA_UC", without the inverted commas. In this folder add ALL your cabs. Once flash finishes, XDA_UC will autoinstall all cabs for you while you sit back, relax and enjoy your tea!
Now, I know you will want to be greedy like I do - 'What about my apps from marketplace?' - no luck there friends! But in market place you can choose to 'install all apps' once you log in - so it's not that time consuming either!
In my future ROMs you will definitely see XDA_UC. Also I am right now working on cooking XDA_UC in DruROM1, DruROM2, DruROM3: So look out for an edit soon

Not bad, thanks for the trick, nevertheless, most of the apps need a register operation, and I'm afraid that this must be always "hand made"....

Guys, I have updated all 4 druROMs with AUTOCAB install now. You can add all your registry tweaks, your PIM back up files and your cabs that you wish to install (both those that need you to press something while installinga and those that dont!) in a single folder on your storage card and once you flashing my rom you can install all of it just by 3 clicks! (yes literally 3 - not counting scrolls)

hi there
how can I remove these "ghost" shortcuts from the grid (when I click them it says "Application not installed on your phone" , dragging them to the trash can doesn't work since they are system app.I have root on my phone but don't know how to get rid of them.Galaxy S2 4.03
also is it possible to change the phone format from dialer? instead of xxx xxxx xxx to show xxxxxxxxxx ? I mean all the numbers in one group, changing region/language does not work.

Those apps looks like they are installed on SD card. If not go to SETTINGS> apps to uninstall them manually.
Then reboot your phone
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
nop , they are preinstalled games BB revolution and roller rev 99 I think , of course they are phone memory
I do not have uninstall button for them in task manager because they are system protected files

So tell me what you did. Did you freeze them using titanium backup? What's your ROM details?
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
deleted the apks with root explorer
I have stock rom .I9100BVLPB
Reboot to recovery and wipe cache. I had same problem as you. If cleaning cache won't help then only factory reset, at least that's what I needed to do to fix it for good. Might be also corrupted SD card, so you may try to format it before ultimate solution of reset.
Also you can try SD Maid app.
Odoslané z GT-I9100 cez Tapatalk 2
wipe cache did not remove the shortcuts , I guess it will have to wait untill my operator decides to release 4.0.4 then I'll give it a factory reset.
what about the phone format?
Have you tried SD Maid?
thx mate , SD maid did the job !
galaxy s2 ghost app icon removal
I know this is late, but if you have moved an app to your sd card this happens sometimes. Move it back to the phone and the ghost goes away. You may have to reboot but not restore to factory default. I have the s2 and so does my wife i get to fix problems like this. It is easy.
I am having the same problem.
But I had programs installed on my device, and then one day noticed that they were "ghosts". Happened once when an "update" occured! Gonna try SD Maid. Nothing has worked so far.
==
OK. Maybe I'm not as geeky as I hoped, but I see a ton of files, but not sure how to identify the "ghosts." Can you please let me know how you were able to identify them?
Install Appzorter from the Play Store. It will sort your apps how you like it, and these scary ghosts will disappear (at least for me it worked...).
Sent from the Matrix
Thank you. I ran that and all the "ghosts" finally disappeared. Just what I was looking for!!!!!!
Well since WM 6.5 is closed, I would say I should worry if I ever had to hard reset. So trying to secure myself now. Now I know how to back up the prefs and so, also have my other cabs that auto install. Its just those apps from Windows Market that I need a way to back up. Anyone have some insight into this and that could guide me to the right spot? Thanks. =)
backup entire rom with spb.
you should find all the apps on some of the forums if you google.
I never used the market as google found me the cabs & I kept the best builds of all my important apps.
Make a list if you need some & see if we can help ...
15-20$ app? Really? Is that the only real way?
you could use the cab extracted from asian rom
