Is there a way to make an app 100% un removable? I've downloaded Ceberus (I think that's what it's called) Anti-Theft. Even though the only way to remove it is to flash a new ROM I'd still feel happier having it completely built in. Is there a way to do this? Cheers!

Well there is a couple of ways but the only way I know is to set up a password on opening that app. And it is protected by having to enter the password if trying to uninstall it as well. So to be honest that will be more than enough :]

Follow that link and install the application and configure it to your needs ;]
Have a good day and good luck with the app :]
Cheers for the App man. I tested it out & then flashed a ROM. No go, it got in uninstalled .

I'm new to the whole Android thing........ I'm not completely happy with a couple of things with my phone... I have the Samsung Vibrant from T-Mobile. The music player is good but not quite up to par in my book and was wondering if anyone knew of a different one I could use? And if anyone knew how to sync the phone with my computer or is this possible as well...... Thanks in advance!
I use MortPlayer. As for syncing, do you mean contacts, music, photos...?
Sent from my Vibrant using the XDA app.
with the syncing I'm just trying to get my calender and contacts and everything..... I guess the normal things you would sync with your computer from a windows mobile device......
It syncs your calendar and contacts to gmail. As of today I'm sure if you use hotmail you can set up hotmail as your ' corporate' mail and sync calendar and contacts
If you want to do old fashioned way and sync to outlook you can use samsung kies program

I use MixZing music player. You can specify what folders you want it to use for music, has a homescreen widget, and a lockscreen widget (that actually takes over your lockscreen, i don't like that part).
Thanks I really appreciate the help from everyone........ I'm still curious about the t-mobile screens on start up and shut down and if they can be changed without rooting.....
Tmobile has the double twist app. Looks alot like itunes. Haven't really messed with it to much though to give a solid review.

Thanks so much for the last one! So far the double twist seems the most promising! I greatly appreciate the help with the music player!

First off welcome to Android. In answer to your question, no I do not know of a way to remove the bootup screen without rooting.
Also I am using Zimly player at the moment. Had it for a few days and it works quite well. Love the look and feel of the UI

those are system files, so you will need to have root...... unfortunately.
Thanks.... I was really hoping I wouldn't have to root but everything so far is leaning towards having to root!
Unfortunately, You will have to have root to change those. You can use the One Click Lag Fix in the market. This will allow you to root your phone. I have used it and it worked quite well. If anything goes wrong, You can use the same app to unroot your phone.
Thanks I really appreciate all of the help!
Root is cake on the vibrant nothing to fear. Easiest device I have ever rooted.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes it is. I have rooted the G1, the MyTouch 3G and now the Vibrant. The Vibrant is by far the easiest to root.
I haven't tried it but I imagine the Samsung Kies would work the best for any kind of syncing, including calendar. You can download it from Samsung > http://www.samsung.com/ae/consumer/...XSG/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support

+1 on this, the vibrant is by far the easiest phone to root, AND it is almost impossible to brick.....ALMOST.
Also once you root, you can remove all of that bloat-ware curtesy of samsung and tmobile.
That is one of the primary reasons I rooted, to remove all of the bloatware!!!!

hi guys can any of you pull out camera.apk and video.apk from your ROM.. i would just like to try it if its going to work with MIUI. thanks!
It won't work. That is, if you're trying to get the ones from the Samsung roms. They hook deeply into the touchwiz ui, and therefore won't work. (Not even sure I'd they'll install, let alone show up in your app drawer).

+1 for DroidWall. It has the added benefit of blocking ads in a particular app if you decide to not allow it access to the network.
However, I should say that it doesn't EXACTLY do what you are asking. It allows you control as to what apps may or may not access the network, either via 3g, WiFi, or both. As far as I know, it doesn't tell you when one of the apps you allow access to the network actually does.
If you want something that asks you to allow/deny, try this
ps this was the 3rd result for android firewall, the first 2 being droid wall, just saying everything is out there google and you shall find.
Edit: well it seems twitter brought the company behind whispermonitor and thus all the downloads have disappeared, I will try to find an apk.
Edit2: it seems that whispermonitor only worked on the nexus S and one other phone, shame it looked promising.
Your best bet is droid wall, there is also Pdroid but it needs a rom patch.
Thank you
Will try your recommend solution

Well i did some more reading about it, and its more of a whole rom/rom mod than an apk file and it was only compatible with the nexus S and Desire I think.
Droidwall is your best bet.
Avast firewall do better than droidwall, it really alert you if any apps trying to make an connection on yhe the background, but avast is big app that come with antivirus protection which seems to be useless for android os so far.

Hey Guys,
I am setting up the thief App "Prey" and it`s working quite well so far but I am wondering is there a way to make this app "impossible" to delete even via Wipe through CWM?
It has uninstall protection of course so you can`t uninstall it the easy way but if the thief flashes a new firmware the app will be gone and I would be screwed.

Yeah I already use it, it`s incredible what you can do with it. In my opinion a must have App for every phone, you can do so much stuff remotely with it, making photos with the front camera, lock the device, sent the destination to your browser etc etc etc. and of course all without the user getting notified about it. Only way to delete it is to flash a new Firmware. I guess make it "unremovable" is not possible though.
Hey all used this guide to upgrade stock jellybean,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909819
Worked brilliantly and then got above my skill level when removing some bloatware, normally i copy the apks i remove however this time i pressed delete by mistake, now have huge issues with play store and other apps. I have deleted too many apks
Have tried installing google apks again but still no joy. Does any one know of a way i can install JB again to start afresh i did try downgrading as per the guide but that didnt actually remove the JB firmware. I feel although even with huge amounts of help from flumpster (many thanks) we arnt cracking it so a fresh install is prob best, i just hope someone knows how to.
Thanks in advance.

This is the full Rom which should add your so called bloatware again.
Before deleting any apps you may first freeze them and see if all goes well without them.
Actually, there is no need to actually delete them. As long as they are frozen or disabled, they won't be active.

Thanks for the help do you know how i can install as i said my prime is stuck on the startup wizard and i cant get past that, it just says setup wizard has stopped and then recycles it. is there a way of installing from Fastboot or ADB bootloader.
Good question. I would just give it a try. Since you are not within a bootloop you may also be able to adb push missing files and start with a maybe functioning device...

Sorry for sounding so silly could some one please give me a quick guide on either how to push the whole image Tobi referenced earlier or the launcher that Hawkysoft talks off and where i can get it, as mentioned i only have adb or fastboot usb access to my device.
Many thanks Guys.
Can anyone list the commands needed to carry out the above.
Oh man you still having this prob? And Erhm out of my head if adb works... Adb push filename \pathname\
