Here is the thing... I installed Go Launcher a while back then later uninstalled it. The wallpaper I had set in Go Launcher was still showing on my screen. I didn't think anything of it... actually liked it. When I open my wallpapers I don't see it as an option though, and I don't know exactly where the system is pulling this picture from.
Anyone have any idea?
Check gallery?

It's a folder in your root directory of your SD called GoHome

Can I remove them some how?i have root explorer so can I just go to system/app and delete them?

If you have rooted your phone, you can do it with Titanium Backup. Just be extremely careful what you delete. I believe there is a list of safe things to delete floating around on the Cyanogen mod forum. Shouldn't be hard to find with inspector Google.
Bloatware would be anything that is not a stock android apk. Be careful not to delete anything that has to do with google or you will be sorry. I forgot the url but there is a master list of all the apks you can delete. Just google "android apk stock list"

Its probably best to just move the apks into a separate folder on your sd card rather than deleting them. The that way if you mess up you can just move it back into the correct directory. Or if you change your mind.

to the OP, I gave instructions in the sticky if you want something to reference. I agree with ^, I used Root Explorer to copy all of the files and then pasted them in a folder on my SD card. Then went back to system apps and deleted them, rebooted, good to go. I also gave a list of everything that could be deleted.

Hey guys Im sorry if this is not supposed to be here, But I really need some advice.
I just recently bought a SGS2 in Canada with Bell Mobility and I was able to root my phone so that I could unlocked it. However Since I did this every time I turn on my phone I get a Yellow Triangle with and exclamation mark. and also this mark is on the top left corner of my home screen but very tiny. Now the phone works like a charm nothing is wrong, but I want to know if there is some way I can remove that from my power up screen and from the home screen?
And my last questions would be, Now that I have unlocked my phone can I unroot it? or will this locked my phone again?
Thanks .

+1 Op this is probably the best way to do it. Plus if you ever need to put the apks back, all you got to do is move them back, wipe dex and cache and reboot.
One thing that I usually do is use TBPro to freeze it first and see if there are any adverse effects. Did you know that gTalk works with the market? If you delete gTalk, you may see some wierdness with the market. If you just froze it, then you can thaw it out and move on.
My question is can we delete the odex files singly or do they have to be deleted in pairs with the apk?
When viewing an image in the Android Google Plus app, you can "Set as Wallpaper," but not save it, and I can't find the image anywhere on my device (Nook Color, CM7).
I'd like to use some images from someone's G+ album with Multipicture Live Wallpaper. Anyone know where I can find the image after it's set as my wallpaper?
I would love to know this too. can't find it.
Try SD/android/data/com.Google.android.app.plus
I never download picture. Try this location out.

There's no clear G+ folder in that directory, unfortunately. I nosed around in several other folders, but still no luck.

Hello all. General question to help me further understand some odds and ends in Android. What is the benefit of converting a program to a system program? Example:
I was reading that some people will convert, say, "GoLauncher" to a system app and deleting their stock launcher.
Now, I use Launcher Pro and always had it as a regular downloaded program. I did delete the BLUR launcher and the system always defaults to Launcher Pro so it is not an issue. If I was to convert Launcher Pro into a system app, would there be any benefit from doing so?
Thanks
If you data wipe it will remove your launcher unless it is converted to a system app. (95% sure on this)

Ahh, I see. SO being that I removed the Blur launcher, Its better to move the Launcher PRO to system app. This way if I need to wipe, I will actually have a launcher to use instead of a black screen with a status bar. Either that or I would have to attempt to push one using ADB.

I do know that system apps cannot be uninstalled unless you use something like titanium backup or root explorer.

This is why I make my launcher a system app.
I think u might be able to hold down search key and say market to be able to download one as long as u don't have voice search deleted or frozen like I do
Better safe than sorry tho
Ok i use Tbackup for all my program freeze/removal. I converted launcher pro to system app. Thanks for all the input!

Im pretty sure all system app permission are the same
If u long press any other system app and choose change permission u can see what it should look like. Then just cancel out and go to launcher app and make it look the same way
looks like this::

Anyone have this?
I remember having it on my stock backup. I've even tried the new APK restore from CWM update on TiBackup. It's possible that it is corrupt.
Would someone from stock mind posting up their "News and Weather".apk for me? Not the widget, btw, if anyone was confused.
Thanks...
Its a system app. Needs to go in systems->apps with root explorer or something. But i thought those were left alone...

Yeah, he removed a lot of "bloat". I didn't see anywhere stating that he deleted it. But his rom is supposed to be "stock" for the most part, so I'm wondering where it went.
The app is called Genie Widget. It is listed as removed in the first post. You can do a quick Google search and download it from anywhere.
I removed it because it was just duplicating the functionality of the Samsung news and weather widgets/apps.
I have no clue what possessed me to do this but when I hit the N button as usual it asked me which launcher I wanted but I hit the default checkbox and selected the Nook Home...so now I have no idea how to access a different launcher now and I dont know how to clear the defaults cuz I have no access to the droid stuff..any ideas?
homecatcher is the culprit,
quick fix is to install another launcher and it will prompt you again....
or get the manage applications app(like es file explorer) and clear defaults from homecatcher.
Try using 'search' and search for what ever launcher you installed.

Or grab revcompgeeks custom SystemUI.apk to turn the 'n' button into a permanent home button without homeCatcher.
I cant use anything "Droid" so how do i use es file explorer or manage applications??? I only have access to the BN nook home as of now...I tried the search but it says this app is not installed so my debloat killed it im guessing...major sad face right now.
Link to apk?
open your browser on your nook and direct it to this forum or the link below and download it.

thank you so much that did the trick!

This would have worked without downloading anything - if you had not debloated. Once you enter the launcher you have installed in search, you could have used ANDROID again to change the default launcher in apps.
