Yes you can delete them, they're apks as any other app, go to system/apps with a root browser and delete the widgets you want.

system/app to be exact.
The thread is in the wrong section, General is not for questions. Hit "report" and ask for it to be moved

......What exactly is the point of your post?
If it wasn't for the help of all the people that not only help answer questions, but also help keep the forum tidy, this place would have descended into chaos, the moderators would be having nervous breakdowns and people like you would be whingeing and moaning.
If you have a problem with another user, take it up with the mods......I'm sure they would be happy to laugh in your face

You are funny, did you read the whole thread. The user that said this is in wrong forum. And the guy got his answer so that guy doesn't need this THREAD now that he got his answer. I actually thanked the one that said " system/app to be exact " since he corrected the mistake. You had a huge misunderstanding with what I wrote haha, still laughing

how does this happen ?
I want a bunch of widgets to not appear anymore when I search through my widgets.
(They just make me scroll more.)
Do I just delete the associated apk and then reboot?
Can I just rename them (e.g. .apk.old) so I can get them back ?
thanks,

Report all useless/old/spam threads here

Since the new mod is soooo active at cleaning spam, I was wondering how to somehow clean XDA and get all useless **** deleted. Some people will say this thread is useless, but all of us can give links to our own or someone else's spam/old/useless thread. Lets make a resolution to clean XDA. Report all useless threads here till next two weeks. Then after that, mod can take a look at them and delete them if he believes they are no longer of any use
Actually it's the great idea. You have my support
Nice idea. This will also stop noobs from asking questions which have already been asked because they will be able to find threads more faster once spam threads are deleted.
Here are some threads which I believe are useless. Many of these threads are just questions and they should be in general section but people have posted them in themes and apps section

it helps the mod and newbies to search instead of creating new threads and stop huge fights and keeps xda clean from spam ( this post for example )

If u can't bother to learn the rules and treat this place like a help desk you're going to get flamed. But then u ***** and complain at the people who are telling u not to double post? Yer in the wrong. And we're gonna tell ya about it. If you don't like it, here's a suggestion-- don't double post! Its annoying and makes u look like a desperate fat chick at prom, who came with her friends because Jimmy Yachovich, the guy who was supposed to take u, got mysteriously and violently ill at the last minute.

It regards a theme/app but it is still a general q question. You cannot remove a thread (unless directed by a mod) once you have posted it. I would remove a couple of my own otherwise >.> . People do get way too obnoxious about their "rules" and honestly it doesn't prevent noobs from making the same mistakes over and over again anyways, so I think it's stupid of them. But they are trying to teach you that they hate you because of what you did, lol. It's not a big deal. People just have sticks up their butt because everyone assumes that everyone else hates the rules being broken all the time. Personally, it does keep clutter down if things aren't double posted. But this forum is so massive anyway, that regardless of double posts, there's a lot to go through..so to each their own. Not a big deal to me. I'm glad you found the answer yourself, and this double post actually REMINDED me, that I still needed to search for the stock weather widget, so thanks
And its mostly people that live on here that see the double post and the flame you for it but ehh what can you do... nothing lol...
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ok...since i was the first to point out the double post, and the thread seems to be getting out of hand, I just wanted to say that my intention was never to flame anyone. I simply pointed out that this was a double post, and I asked the op, in what I thought was a polite way, to please not double post in the future because I know people here don't like it and because it does clutter the boards. From there the thread just got out of hand. I don't know what I did to offend the op, but whatever it was I apologize.
Now a mod needs to close this thread, please.
Thread Closed because op figured his issue out. Op your language here on XDA is unacceptable. Read the rules. In addition, if anyone quotes the bad language I have to delete those posts too. Just report the post please. Everyone makes it worse by quoting the crap. Btw op, for future reference the edit button at the bottom of your post allows you to modify/delete what you wrote...

Generic question...I knew I could find an answer here...

Does anybody else have an issue where your contact photos don't show up in gmail app....and is there a known fix? Using CM7...
Oi, please put this in the Q&A Sub-forum and not the Development forum.
Why the hell do you think we have a Q&A section? :silly:
My bad...thought I was in the Q&A...forgot to leave this section before I hit Submit...if a moderator would move this, I'd be grateful....thanks for catching that, Guys!
Not only that, you also asked this same question already, in another thread. So a new thread was not even needed, in fact this goes against XDA rules.
Sorry but I'll have to report this thread for closure.

The reason why the moderators have made these are because if we keep the thread size as well as new thread count to a limit unless it is absolutely necessary, it saves costs of the server as well as saves band width. I hope you are matured enough to understand that

Hmm a question has been asked in the Q&A section. Q&A to me, it means Questions and Answers. If the Mods didn't want this question to exist, then they can just delete it. No need to make it longer with dumb responses, like yours or mine. A simple
A guide is stickied in the General subforum..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2066390
Would have all that was needed. This way the thread would have had only one reply. And not enlarge the thread anymore. Now the thread is getting larger and larger, going where it didn't need to go. So if you was a mod, delete this post. Delete this thread, chase all newby's away, so all you have is old members. And plenty of the good ones will go somewhere else. I use to come here a lot, long time ago. When I mentioned to some of my friends that I still use it, they said "What? XDA has been taken over by those whinny, little tech babies. Why go there? take a look here......" Which I think I will do.
Stop the fighting. OP, you should have your answer. To the others, no need to attack each other over such a little thing. Teach the OP what to do, and move on
