I used the BlueMonkey theme by Jivy26, however I didn't like the GoSMSPro. I deleted the app via titanium backup, and used File Explorer to confirm it was deleted. However, it still shows up as being installed in the market place and I have the icon in my app list (although it says the application is not installed on my phone) How do I manusally remove the icon from the app list?

I guess the best thing to do is to reinstall the app and uninstall from the task manager or go to settings-applications and uninstall from there.

Make sure that the app is not running in the background or as a service.
Reboot the phone and go into settings>applications>running
services and see if you can find the offending app there.
If you can find it there, click on it and select STOP".
Then if all goes well you will be able to do a complete unistall.
Not running as a service =\ Is there a place where those icons are located on the phone itself? I could delete it through root explorer if I could find it.

icons for applications are stored within the apk itself....if the apk is gone, the app is gone.
try uninstalling them and then wipe cache/dalvik cache in CWM

If you know how to use root explorer to delete files
you can go into root of phone /system/apps and find
the offending APK name and delete with root explorer.
Some apps will have a "com." before the actual app name
so look for that too.
Good luck!

So I got got root, after having a long and hard decision, because I soft-bricked my phone yesterday.
Anyway, I got titanium because no other apps were free on Market like Root Manager or Root Explorer.
When I go to Backup/Restore I get a list, but they're not apps, they're stuff like:
Accounts
Application Widgets
Bluetooth Pairings
Country, Language, Time zone
Wi-Fi Access Points
but I want to delete the Avatar, TeleNav, and others.
PS, I've tried searching, didn't help me, so please don't tell me to "SEARCH". OH and I also read the sticky, didn't help x]
Any help is gladly appreciated
Does anybody know how? Please?
I prefer File Manager, it's free and pretty easy to use and delete all the Bloatware. Download it, open it and navigate to My Phone>system>app and look for the apk you want removed.
Is it ASTRO file manager, eFile - File Manager, or just plain "File Manager"?
Oh and what is .odex and .apk? Should I delete both?

.odex is the file before deodexing.
.apk is the output once deodexed.
Yes, delete both.. But I would recommended titanium to uninstall. And there is a link in the sticky that tells you all of the .apks & .odex files you can remove...
Plain File Manager.
Here's a list of safe programs you can remove.
First off all the Standard Apps:
AccountAndSync.apk/odex -> The app in the drawer, not the settings.
AddToHome.apk/odex
AudioPostcard.apk/odex
Avatar.apk/odex -> The app that launches Avatar in the video player.
BuddiesNow.apk/odex
Dlna.apk/odex [Allshare]
FlashPlugin.apk/odex
GoGo.apk/odex
Infoalarm.apk/odex [Daily Briefing]
KindleStub.apk/odex
Layer-samsung.apk/odex
MediaHub.apk/odex
Memo.apk/odex
Mini Diary.apk/odex
MobiTV.apk/odex
MyAccountStub_4-5-10.apk/odex
Myfiles.apk/odex
Sims3_Samsung_Embed_Launcher.apk/odex
slackerradio.apk/odex
Swype-Tips.apk/odex
Telenav.apk/odex
thinkdroid.apk/odex [ThinkFree Office]
vvm-signed.apk/odex -> T-Mobile Visual Voicemail [can be re-downloaded from the market. for some reason that version is the preferred one.]
VoiceRecorder.apk/odex
VoceDialer.apk/odex
Writeandgo.apk/odex
TouchwizWidgets:
Day.apk/odex
DualClock.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_Calenderclock.apk/odex

Open SU and see if you accidentally denied it. If so click it if not then reboot your phone and open Ti again. That should prompt SU.

hi there.
i have a problem, i removed LG App Advisor from my rooted OO, but the program is still in the menu and it is still working (like nothing happened),
i used the terminal emulator proceedure remounting the file system and then removing the program, this proceedure succeded with every other program, but seems useless against AppAdvisor...and i don't know why, but since i'm a newbie could be my fault...what should i do to remove permanently the app?
Try TitaniumBackup and restart phone after procedure.
Go to Market, download Root Explorer, launch it click on top on mount r/w then go to /system/app and remove App Advisor (I don't remember the exact name, but it has to contain app advisor .apk) from there.

i just uninstalled mine and noticed that there was a update downloded to it.
i uninstalled the update first, then i deleted the .apk with root explorer. worked like a charm.
My NT is using indirect's root and I had the stock apps removed. Every time I reboot, pandora, netflix, and hulu plus always show back up after I uninstall them. Any clue why they come back after a reboot? My netflix app always asks for an update and I have two copies of pandora on there.
you have to first go to root--->system---->app find the app and delete.
then uninstall
then reboot
(may need to change permissions to delete the crap)
I had this same issue, and one of the best ways to prevent it is before trying to delete/uninstall theme, is to go into the stock app manager and archive everything, this unregistered the flag that says they should be there on the device at all from B&N's perspective, and ensures they won't just suddenly appear again. I had the same issue with Netflix continually reverting to B&N's version instead of the newest version.

i'm not seeing a system folder in root... do i need to use a specific app to change permissions? i've already gone through several folders on the nook and on the memory card trying to track the apps down and can't find anything...

how do you archive everything? by the stock app manager i'm assuming you mean the menu where it lists all your apps...
market--->es file explorer
install
open---->top right( star for favs) click. THen select the phone object thing. (/) is under mine
root will open up
click system(should be before vendor folder)
click on App folder(before Bin folder)
select app---> change permissions so you can delete
after delete uninstall that app(which you deleted)
reboot and it should be gone

Hello
I was wondering if anyone could help me. Im using awd lancher and installed an antteck app manager and froze a moto app by mistake, the phone got in to a force close loop which even a restart couldnt fix. I managed to uninstall the app by grabbing time between the forced closes.
Now it says " this is not a motoblur device" when I try to use the moto default home launcher.
I have reinstalled the antteck app which shows no frozen apps.
Would a reset to factory work? My concern is if there is no ADW launcher and motoblur is still not working my phone will not work.
Orange UK rooted on gingerbread stock
Thanks for any help

Which app? The one you froze?

No, a factory reset just wipes the data partition.
A possible solution
If you know how to use ADB, and know where to acquire the ADW.Launcher APK, then you could do this:
NOTE: You may need root to do this. I have no idea, actually.
Copy ADW.Launcher to your ADB folder and rename it to launcher.apk to make things easier later.
Open Command Prompt, and CD to your ADB folder.
Type "adb remount" to mount /system as writeable.
Type "adb push launcher.apk /system/app.
You could possibly get away with pushing it to /data/app, but I've never tried pushing to /data before.
The app I uninstalled was the antteck app manager used to freeze the app.
I cant remember exactly which app I froze. It was one from a list of apps safe to freeze I found on the XDA forum, it wasnt safe. It may well have been the moto home launcher as I was trying to free up ram for the webtop.
I get the problem when I use home switcher to try to launch the original home rather than ADW
I no longer see the moto home launcher in the app list on the app manager.
I could try flashing with the sbf, but being a noob im not ready to do that unless all else fails.
Any help gratefully received

I just renamed blurhome.apk_fro to blurhome.apk in the system/app folder using root explorer and all has been fixed. It would seem that although I reinstalled the antteck app manager it doesn't search for previous frozen items. It also didn't show up in titanium backup either that can be used to freeze apps, not a criticism just an observation.
Thanks for all the help

Glad you learnt something new. =D
And you should find the "safe" list you referred to and tell them its actually NOT safe.
Ill look for the list later...although it might have been a of stupidity and not on the list at all, I tend to do these things late at night
So I noticed an app called Joyn in my Applications Manager which I have not downloaded. This app doesn't appear in my app drawer. I had a quick search around and found that Joyn is an app that enhances voice quality and allows wifi calls and chats. My S3 is not the 4G version however which leaves me a little confused. What is this app used?
It's a rubbish Samsung app
Found it on my S3 too after trying to hunt down what was causing my phone to hang. But no way to remove it.

An app to look at files and delete. File explorer, root explorer, solid explorer, etc. Browse to system/apps find the apk and delete. An alternative is to use adb and commands.

Must have a rooted phone to remove system apps.
Then follow his steps.

They are putting to much rubbish on the phone that no one is using, there
must be a section somewhere so you can download the applications
if you want.

I forgot to mention the rom cleaner, you can use it with recovery. I think it is in the original android dev section, you would have to search. Anyway, the cleaner has a list of apps to remove, plus you can customize it too remove other apps or not remove apps it pre-selects.
If you ever find you have deleted an app you need just extract it from the firmware you flashed.
