I Have no idea how, but somehow "Eyes-Free keyboard", has been installed on my phone. It doesn't appear in my installed apps list.Not even in titanium backup.
I've tried downloading it from the market. but it just installed another instance of the keyboard.
how can i remove it?
Market >> My Apps >> APP >> Uninstal
Settings Applications Manage Applications uninstall
or contact the developer .

As i mentioned in my post. This keyboard isn't listed in the market or in any other place (including settings).
Look for it under data/app with root explorer or the likes.

Not even there.
i think it was bundled with some other app.
the weird thing is that unlike other market keyboard this one doesn't the option to un-tick it in the list of keyboards.
Eyes-free keyboard is a project for accesibility. The lastest version of Google talkback installed eyes-free. If you want to remove eyes-free keyboard, then, you can force stop talkback, and then uninstall the lastest updates. Hope this helps.
was just looking for this solution. Thanks. I use swiftkey x as my default keyboard but eyes-free keeps taking over and I have to change my input method every time I go to type, tried changing it in settings too and it always goes back.

Hello; I can't seem to find the Phone application in the app drawer, or in selection lists (e.g. Launcher 7 initial setup). I've frozen a few things using Titanium, but it's not on that list anywhere either. I can find it in Astro easily enough, but no way else.
Help!

If you can see the contacts app, the dialer is just one of the tabs... it's not perfect, but it works...
Thanks. I finally got it back by uninstalling GO Contacts.
So if you double tap the home button vlingo/voice talk pops up, is this something you can turn off with some sort of setting? I know that before ICS it wasn't possible, but hoping that maybe ICS brings this option?
Also i know you can freeze the app with titanium backup+root, but just wondering if there now maybe is a setting for it instead.
I have the nordic version of ICS and I was able to simply uninstall voice command. It seems like it is not a system app anymore...
I can't uninstall Voice Talk on my Galaxy S2 Nordic ICS. Can't even disable it. Samsung has written to me, that it's not possible to do so. Is your GSII rooted?
root, use root uninstaller or similar or any file explorer with root file capability and remove file manualy.
you can uninstall vlingo without root.
if you use apex launcher, simply click and drag the voice command app in the app drawer to the top and it will let you uninstall it!
should probably work with other launchers that have drag to delete functionality.
Yaay, uninstalled it using Go Launcher, I'm rooted but don't know if made the difference.
Also works with apex, nova launcher and probably other launchers that have a drag-to-trash uninstall feature. (I have a non rooted ICS SGS2)
Just remember to back up your app before uninstalling (voice commands app). just in case you change your mind later
for now, good riddance vlingo!
Doesnt work
I have tried the launchers and they dont unistall this app does anyone else have this problem?
You HAVE to use the launcher's drag and drop method to uninstall. If you try to uninstall through the app manager there's no uninstall option available

I was able to remove it from my S2 running ICS using the "Go Launcher APP"

I downloaded an app called App quarantine from the market and put the following apps in the don't run bin , but before doing that I downloaded Go Launcher / Go Contacts / Go Sms Pro and did a ehh, conversion from the stock samsung apps to Go Stuff. Has anyone else done this or anything similar?
Apk's no longer running on boot

There are a number of apps that do the same type of thing, Titanium Backup will 'freeze' apps as well as a whole host of additional features.
Then of course, another option is to just rename the apps from *.apk to *.bpk and rebooting.
My personal preference is a third option called Autostarts which is similar to MSconfig in Windows but for Android. The reason being is, it gives you the ability to keep an app from ever running unless you actually tap the app to run it but still allows you to keep the app installed in the event you want to use it. Google Maps comes to mind, I want it installed, I dont want it running in the background.
I dont recommend removing any of the bloatware if you plan on staying on stock but, some of it for US Note users was able to be uninstalled without root via either Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All Applications, then tap an app and see if uninstall was lit up, if so, sweet. Or, alternatively you could go thru the Market->(Menu Key)->My Apps but not all apps show up in this list. As a side note, I actually manually did a search for many of the apps on the phone and manually updated them because they were not showing up in the market 'My Apps' list.
One other side note, most of the Samsung apps are actually pretty decent, I usually dont touch them. Its the ATT software and the apps ATT took bribe money from third parties that bothers me (Yellow Pages for example).
Oh, and a little known feature of Go Launcher is the ability to hide apps.
Tap the App drawer icon to get to the list of apps on your phone, tap the menu button, tap hide apps. For those of us that havent bothered to root, this at least gives you the ability to not have to look at apps you dont want to see in the app drawer.
Wow thank you for all the info. As far as staying stock, I like making my devices unique to me, I did keep all spen related apps, but killed pretty much everything else. I doubt my phone will ever see an official release of anything, Xda all the way

Just to add I guess a 'fourth' option, I like to use the app 'root toolbox' available on the market with both free and pro versions. Under the advanced menu you can remove any system apps you like but the nice thing is anything you remove is automatically backed up to the root toolbox folder on the internal sd. The backup is done automatically so you dont have to worry about removing something and forgetting to backup first and also gives you the option to restore any system apps you removed simply and easily. Ill be honest the restore feature has saved my bacon many times lol and is also a great way to experiment which apps are safe and unsafe to remove.
Hi All
Since a day I have a sort of leadbolt virus that opens my browser and shows the website like below:
ad.leadboltads.net with Top Apps/Offers of the Day
This happens when I download something from the playstore or when I delete apps.
It Makes crazy and I have tried some things alrdy so fix it without any succes.
- Downloaded and installed virusscannen, no succes
- Downloaded and installed ad detector, found a app with leadbolt, deleted it but didn't solve the problem
Hopefully someone can help me too fix this annoying problem

I'm also having the problem and have not found a solution yet.
The only difference for me is I have adaway installed so the webpage never gets to display. Just opens the browser.
I've tried different ad detector apps from google play, but nothing is fixed this problem. Almost ready to reflash the rom and start from scratch.
UPDATE: I fixed the problem.
When the browser hijacking occurred, it happened after installing or updating a program from any source. Google Play, Amazon or a standalone APK. That meant the virus had control over my installer.
Using Lookout's Ad Detector, I identified some potential culprits (Go Launcher EX being at the top of the list) and uninstalled them. That didn't work.
What actually fixed the problem was resetting the defaults for all the apps. Settings > More > Application Manager. Hit the menu key and choose Reset app preferences.
You don't loose any data. You just get prompted for choosing a default app when you run certain applications. I choose to use Lookout's installer instead of the default android installer when I got prompted to install updates.
Haven't had the issue since. Hope this helps.

Hi everybody. (First sorry for my english but I speak french)
This is a solution but it workn't very good.
After the downloading and installation from a update or a program, Androîd ask me if I want to finish the task with the default browser or Chrome ? So I can't see this f*cking page more but I must always put my choice between the 2 browsers.
I thank you for your solutions....

Lookout Security & Antivirus found mine in ChargeBar Free Edition,
ChargeBar came embedded in the NottachTrix 2.3.0 ROM.
I installed it (NottachTrix) and it (ChargeBar) didn't update for 3 months, then, BANG.
I've deleted ChargeBar's update, moved it from system apps to apps, deleted it, and the browser pop open 'ad.leadboltads.net' still persists.
Lookout Security & Antivirus can not find the new location of the malware, they do not have a forum.
By the very definition and behaviour, this is malware, and, ChargeBar (Asgard Casino Apps) is involved in the distribution of malware.
Asgard Casino Apps distributes 34 apps that behave this way.
They are using Google to distribute this malware, abet, that app is benign in its origin, its a pipeline, or conduit for malware.
Sneaky F##kers aren`t they.........
#1) I would like to get this crap off my phone.
#2) I need to bring this to Google's attention, and have the developer and apps banned from the Play store.
Sooo, starting with #1,,,how do I get this crap off my phone!
NOTE:
I will be linking to this post in the NottachTrix post, I'm asking the developers to to move ChargeBar from the ROM zip.

Hi All,
Like others, I'm experiencing a problem with SwiftKey - the stock keyboard always shows up as the default after every boot, even though SwiftKey is enabled in settings. I read somewhere that a workaround is to freeze the stock keyboard using Titanium, and convert the SwiftKey app to a systems app. So my question is, how do I do that?
(One X, ARHD 31.3)
I know I can long-click on the correct entry in Titanium's App list to freeze an app, but specifically, what app name do I need to look for (is it Keyboard_english.apk?)
And how do I convert SwiftKey to a system app? I'm not even sure what this means. Do I just have to ensure it's located on internal storage (not SD card)?
Some help is obviously needed! Thanks for yours in advance.
You can try disabling the stock keyboard in Settings>Apps. You can also try using ROM Toolbox to search for app (in my experience it's easier). And converting an app to a system app simply means moving the app from data>app to system>app.
