Is there a way to manually remove a market link? I've uninstalled this app and it shows in my App list as available for download. I've tried the Titanium backup method, but it doesn't remove the app from the list. Are there other applications that can modify what shows up in your app list or am I just stuck looking at it on the top of my apps every time I look at it for updates?
Interesting. Mine is uninstalled too but I don't have that problem. Use a file explorer to try and find the apk and see if it is still in /data/app or elsewhere. Another thing I might try is clearing the data for market.
Used a file explorer, I couldn't find any trace of the app. Could you explain the clearing of market data please? I tried clearing the cache for it in the /data/data folder and in the settings menu as well and it still shows.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Did you try rebooting after removing? That should help remove it.

Of course. It's just unusual since it wasn't like this on my Hero. I was able to uninstall it on my hero without it showing up in my market app list. I've attached a screenshot of how it looks when I open the 'my apps' list. Probably not very helpful, but it at least describes the dilemma. Running Stock ROM with revolutionary root.

Well go to settings>applications>manage applications, then go to the "all" tab and scroll down to Market, and click "Clear data" and "clear cache." I'm not sure this will work but it might.
The "Clear Data" option is greyed out sadly. I have cleared the cache before many times.

Interesting. Mine is not greyed out. Here's one more thing you can try:
Using a root explorer or adb (if you don't know adb and want to, ask me, it's a good thing to know) 1. Delete Phonesky.apk from /system/app/ and reboot to clear the data. 2. put my attached copy of the newer market into /system/app and reboot again.
replace with this Phonesky.apk
Removed old market, rebooted, and installed new market. Moved to the bottom of the list now at least, but it still shows up.

Very weird. I'm out of ideas. Sorry :/
Try this
Go into settings/privacy and uncheck "backup my settings" and uncheck "automatic restore". Then boot into recovery and wipe cache and davlik cache then reboot and see if that helps. Also when you used root explorer did you set the market app permissions correctly???

Tried the first two suggestions after your post, still there. Could you explain the permissions part please. I use estrongs for exploring the root.

When using root explorer to place an app in /system you have to long press on the app and a menu will appear. From that menu select permission. Then change them according to the system folder permissions. To find out the system permissions just long press on any system app and select permissions then make a note of the checked boxes. Then go back to your app "the one you added" and long press on it and select permissions and check the boxes exactly as the other system app were. Then reboot. Hope that helps

As far as using estrongs file manger to place apps in system I'm not sure as I don't use it. However root explorer is a great app you should check it out.

Thanks for the info. It has the same permissions as the other system apps. Google gave an interesting suggestion to clear the download manager's data, but that didn't work either.
Then I'd suggest a full wipe after a backup of your data of course. That should fix your issue.

Many thanks to chopper the dog for this package !
To verify URL search ...
Enter search terms for the URL .... verify it goes to Google to search
To verify Bookmark deletion ...
Launch the browser
Click on the bookmark icon
Long press on VZW bookmark
Scroll and select "Delete bookmark" ... verify that you get a message that Bookmark <name> will be deleted.
Click OK

Works!
Confirmed working google search. gj.
If anyone wants the browser setting to pick the default search engine to work... I think it's a different question... But I'm glad I have google again.
I decompiled the DL30 browser apk earlier this morning... And find that the code to force bing was much easier to find than earlier versions. Looks like you took out the default bookmarks, and changed the search string? Anything else out of my curiosity.
The code also wouldn't allow deleting two existing Verizon bookmarks.
If the bookmark was named "VZW Home" or "My Verizon" or the URL was "http://converge.vzwwap.com/" or "https://mobile.vzw.com/sspostmw/forms/myacc.jsp" it wouldn't allow deletion.

...Now with Chrome Icon
This is the same de-binged browser with the Chrome Icon
Thanks for the post.
Hmmm... Can't seem to get it to work. Copied the original to sdcard for backup then using root explorer deleted original and copied debinged to system/app and rebooted and cleaned dalvik but still uses bing and can't delete bookmarks.

Try clearing the application data. settings -> applications -> manage applications.
This will also clear any bookmarks/history you have.

Ok so I can't get it to work at all. Followed OP to a tee and the original Browser.apk says it is deleted in root explorer but when I copy the debinged named as Browser.apk it reverts back to the original no matter what... Stumped on this one...

Thanks for this. But I always find it easier to push files or make a cwm zip (root explorer is not the most reliable). But flash the below file via cwm no wipe is needed plus your existing bookmarks will remain and I was able to delete those vzw links right away. It sucked to have a scrollable widget and seeing the vzw **** there.
@OP update your first post/title with this.
good day.
Thanks Chopper the CWM flash worked perfectly. Url search goes straight to Google and bookmarks deleted. One issue I did notice was even with Google set as homepage and all data history etc cleared when reopening the browser it opens to Google but if you hit the back key it goes to that converge.vzw site even with history and data cleared and bookmark deleted any idea?

After flashing to TNT Lite 4.20 I now have to clear an error message every time I boot my G Tab. It says "Sorry! The application Google Partner Setup (process.com.google..android.partnership) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
A Force Close is required to clear it, or else it messes with email (and maybe other stuff).
Questions:
- I've located this in /system/app using iFileManager and it's an apk file ... can it be safely deleted?
- How do I delete it? I'm not familiar with iFilemanager, and don't see a "delete" option. Can I delete it with CWD or Titanium Backup?
Thanks!

I know this has come up before, but all I find is other people asking my same question:
Can I safely delete the Google Partner Setup apk from my system/app folder?
It's not loading (requires a FC for the tablet to boot), but I'm still reluctant to remove anything from the system directory in case it's required somehow.
Help???

Google Partner Setup is used (at least) by the browser. You could try disabling it using Autorun Manager from Market instead of deleting the .apk file. Be warned that doing so on my system caused the browser to exit without warnings on quite few sites--those that have Google Ads are esp. problemmatic.
My advice is to first go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > select "All", find "Google Partner Setup" and then "Clear data". If that doesn't work, get into ClockworkMod and there do a "wipe data/factory reset" (and also possibly a "wipe cache partition").
Thanks Raj. I'll give it a try.

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!
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.

how do you archive everything? by the stock app manager i'm assuming you mean the menu where it lists all your apps...

You should be able to download right to your phone, make sure allow unknown sources is checked in security settings. Then go to download folder and install, or copy and paste with a root explorer.

Other than restoring to stock and rerooting and unlocking, I am out of ideas. All of your data would be saved so it isn't that big of a pain.
