Is there a way to remove the Verizon bookmarks in the browser?
EDIT: Solved by installing Bookmark Sort & Backup in the Android Market (free): https://market.android.com/details?id=com.happydroid.bookmarks. Thanks to kkryter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20292787&postcount=5

No. That doesn't work for me. There are a few bookmark added by Verizon that you can't delete that way:
Google
VZW Home
My Verizon

I used a market program called 'BookmarkSB' for this issue. I've used it for other things as well, such as it's primary purposes of sorting and backup. Hope this helps!

Because if you're ever NOT SURE what the Verizon website is, there's a handy bookmark they force on you!

Found another way to delete bookmarks. I downloaded skyfire (which is my new favorite browser especially with Flash 10.1) and you can delete bookmarks there, which when done there, deletes them from stock browser also.

Thanks for the tip on using Skyfire!
On Droid-Life. (someone please post link) i found that someone on the xoom forum got Google Voice to work.
I was trying what they posted a few days ago, using titanium backup, and now I tried this. Both with no luck.
Try it out on your nooks, maybe someone will have an idea or get it to work. Currently mine freezes in the setup on the page about configuring your voicemail. it wont work, and I try to skip and it freezes. anybody else try yet?

What OS are you running, it wont work for me on honeycomb
I am running HC- all had to do was to "titanium restore" from the back-up on my phone
I'm on Sam's eMMC version 2, based on deeper-blue's latest Honeycomb preview.

Works fine here too, but I suppose you could have stated Honeycomb specifically..
Aren't a lot of apps broken or screwy in HC?
I'm running stock rooted and GV works perfectly on my NC. If you leave me a message, it shows up on my NC without any problems.

Tried that and every other way i could find. nothing works. The farthest i got was the setup voicemail screen. it says your voicemail settings could not be loaded. please try again. if i click ok it just goes back to try again, and if i click skip, it locks up

I just reinstalled yesterday. I had to add a step. after copying the xml files, I deleted the databases directory, then it would start.

could you please give me a step by step detailed instructions if you don't mind...
titanium and my backup pro back ups and restore didn't work for me as it would constantly try to restore data but not the app even though i backed up the app..
so...
what's this about the xml, and deletion of db and stuff... ? detailed instruction would be appreciated.
thanks.

I emailed myself the GV app from my rooted droid - maybe I can attach it here - yes... - OK the whole process -- move .gz from the titaniumbackup SDCard directory to my PC -- unzip to get the "raw" .apk file - e-mail that file - open the e-mail on my xoom and click "install"... Mine is a wifi-only xoom...

Has anyone found a working method to remove the Verizon bookmarks on the stock Rom? I used Bookmarks Manager on my Rezound, but it's not compatible with the DNA. Thanks!

Agreed, that is annoying!

Anyone find a solution yet?
If someone wants to test this... it "should" remove the stock bookmarks. It MAY reset you Sense setup so you might need to restore it after. I can't test this because I delete those bookmarks from my ROM. That said PROCEED WITH CAUTION until someone test it. Who wants to be the Guinea pig? Should work fine.
EDIT:
Tested and it DID NOT reset Sense. Checked my bookmarks and I only had google dot com. That is the one I left behind. It looks like it worked like it should.
EDIT 2:
Since this did appear to work I removed it. You would probably need to add that in before flashing the ROM.

I couldn't remember but it maybe that that file is only read when the ROM was flashed.
I've tried editing the database that holds the bookmarks, that didn't work either. I've also tried a few bookmark managers, they haven't worked either. I can't believe that there's no way to get rid of these damn things! !

well I don't use the stock browser so I'm not able to see exactly what you mean. I figured it would be as simple as hitting menu go to bookmarks then long press and choose delete.
Chrome is so much bester, faster and cleaner lol

I disagree, I like the stock browser better. My Nexus 7 came with Chrome on it and the first thing I did was load the stock browser. The bookmarks are read-only and can't be deleted in the manner you specified.
You need a writeable kernel to permanently delete them, or s-off.
Thanks for the reply, but that isn't correct. I am both S-OFF and have a writable kernel (elkay 0.95) and the bookmarks still cannot be deleted. They are somehow protected from deletion. I'm ready to offer a bounty to anyone that can get rid of these things!!
The only way I have found to get rid of them is by disabling the stock browser and grabbing a different browser from the store. I know this probably isn't what your looking for but this is the only method I have found to get rid of them.

Install original aosp browser from the play store in first link. Open browser..make sure its good. Then make sure bookmarks are synced. Use a root explorer and over write the original browser with the browser from link I provided. Change permissions....reboot...and walla!

Hi.
I translated the cloud app from iunios from Chinese to English. Compiled OK
Added resources to original apk.
Added to zip and flashed.
When I load cloud to sign in, everything is english. I enter my login and the app crashes. But I am still login.
Something is broken but can't figure out what.
Modded
https://mega.co.nz/#!6FUVzJrJ!ddaFe9VgTLWARr9wycHtMexrSWmKK_rLdKuwitVnHS8
Original
https://mega.co.nz/#!7Z9SCTgY!Qmm45SF8yFZ_MIXwCrD2EZY7lFsW4i_8-VrOHn6OEO0
Also noticed that the original apk is bigger than the added translation modded version. Which shouldn't have due to the added 108kb strings.XML file
Any help would be great thanks

You need to sign the application either way.
If your app has a login screen, does it access a server of some sort?

Yeah it will connect to the iunios cloud server. It does actually login me in. I know this as in status bar there's a quick click that says logged in with my name.
But can't get into the app due to fc
Can't download contacts MMS etc that's stored on the cloud

Can you compare the code side by side so that you didn't miss an important factor? (ie, you left out a comma)
I guess that's the only reason left.
