Hello,
Is there a way to disable, rather than remove, the built-in Samsung phonebook and calender?
Problem is, I installed the app called Contacts+ and Google Calender, and it's really annoying when you get notifications from the built-in apps plus the other two. I tried unsyncing my calender off Samsung's but it also go unsynced off Google Calender.. So yea, is it do-able in any way that doesn't require rooting?
Also, is there an app that can list processes and services in a tree view? or simply track processes/services to their original apps? I've noticed some processes and services on Task Killer that I wasn't familiar with.
Thanks
Questions? We have a questions section just for that! Isn't that convenient?
Oh, and it's "calendar" .
If I am not mistaken, you can disable it from the app manager.

I'd suggest Titanium Backup. You just want to freeze up those apps and unfreeze them when it's needed.

Could you not be more useful to the forum and follow the rules . That will save on the number of posts the mess this forum is with stuff all over the place and craeting work for the mods ..
I despair that XDA Developers forum is the mess that it is .

Couldn't you have asked in the correct place? This forum is so busy that people are constantly posting things in the wrong place. So while his answer may have sounded blunt, it's probably because we constantly read the same thing time and time again and it gets a bit tedious writing polite replies.

Yes, but there's not really much on xda that does not require rooting.

Re the tasks part - just ask the developer of that app.
Re the notifications- Can't you just go to the settings of the apps and turn off notifications?

Rule #1 is Search. You can find almost anything via Google with the tag of XDA at the end.

Hi
I have programming experience in java, but i never did anything with cellphones and specially android.
I wanted to make a widget which will read very simple data from a small webpage, and to have it being updated once in a while on my home screen.
So,
1. Is it hard to do? If not, where can i find some tools and guides to do that?
2. maybe there is an app which does that for me?
thank you!

This is a great resource for Android development...
http://www.anddev.org/
I do know that there is an app that does exactly what you're talking about, but it wasn't very good when it first came out. I'll have a look and see if I can find it, but I can't remember the name. It was in the Android Apps & Games forum.
There's also an Android Software Development forum on xda, so that's always worth a look as well.
Good luck mate

mm i think both apps let you only define pictures as a widget/background
i'd like a real webpage with text and images
is it possible and im doing something wrong? because i can't get it to work (i added the URL but there's nothing in the widget)
sorry guys to make a new threat for this but everytime i go on this site today i get avast telling me its dectected a trojan. whats going on there? delete this threat if you want. the only way i could think of getting it out there.
Out of topic
Do a google search, if you get warning from google, it mean that your computer is infected. XDA never get any trojan or malware.

Not necessarily true. There are a few possibilities:
1) an advert has been compromised; generally adverts are held by a 3rd party then shown on various websites.
2) false negative with interaction with some resource on here.
3) his PC is compromised with a hijack.
I have this too when i check this forum. Avast notice starts today, never more.
I get the same warning from Avast:
URL: rt.liftdna.com/liftrtb2.js
Process: file://C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
Infection: jsownloader-AMY [Trj]
I suppose it is somewhere in the advertisements.

It's thread, not threat.
I get a warning, too... Avast said that there are a trojan called js: Downloader-AMY in this site. Weird.
just get same warning on my avast, but then disable javascrit on mozila and no more warning....
...there is no issue. Antivirus once again has proven its worthlessness.

Just report it to xda admin. Seems like somekind of ads trigger it. And if u guys were using firefox or chrome, u guys need to learn to use adblock plus. Btw why is this even on development subforum??

Is anyone else having this problem? I'm also not able to download the Barnes and Noble reader for android frm the market. I've never had the 7.0.3 stable before but maybe the 7.0.3 stable is better??? idk, but i need some help.

Edit /system/build.prop to show that qemu.sf.lcd_density=160 not 161. Force quit Market and clear its data. Reboot. That makes it work. No need to tell people to "search the forums." It's not hard to just post the solution, instead.

Correct; it is much easier to just post the solution, instead. However, I'd side with koopakid08 in his attempt to show the OP how to ask questions the smart way. Teach a man to fish...

Or at least link to the threads with the solution to give some sort of direction - if no direct answer is given.
(not aiming this at anyone, only continuing the conversation)
Sorry, but I'm getting very sick of the billions of threads on this topic. Another option is to uninstall market updates and then freeze, delete, or rename marketupdater.apk

yea that worked, but it wont show the picture on facebook, just the info they put on there.... what i need is something that will link the actual facebook contact with the one stored on my phone.... permanently! cuz everytime something happens with my contacts (new rom, hard reset, etc etc) i have to link them!
I get the same problem when I freeze the Fbook app when it never stops running. you'd think contact storage would be left untouched
It's a good idea..I will try to make an app for this..This would be pretty useful for all of us..

Does this list assume you've rooted and flashed a different rom? I don't think touchwiz home is safe to disable if you're stock.

Its a list ( more than one on that post ) of apps that can be removed .
Stock and non rooted it does not apply apart from you could use it as a guide to some of the apps .
No root = No XDA .

Did you literally just imply that if you don't root you shouldn't be using xda? I see no disclaimer anywhere claiming this is a root only forum...

No it does not say it anywhere on this forum but same is the case with "This Forum is only for those who can read", it is no where in the forum rules. But it is assumed.
Similarly, this forum is based on development, which again means that you will have to work with system files which in turn means that you need to have root access..
Most of the tools, methods, guides on this forum are for root users.
And this is what JJ meant. I hope I made it very clear.
100% correct zoot1.
No root = no development = no XDA .
Sure you can join XDA and not root but you are very limited in what you can achieve .
Also the questions asked often get an answer that presumes the user has rooted .

Good luck

Well, basically, there is only one way to do this properly. Everything, that looks suspicious, in that manor, like (eg.g. In my case) HRS hotels..
Not Samsung, don't need it, gone.
Or: GMail, Google app. Belongs to Android. Keeping it..
I'd say, create a backup, just in case, then try it out, but as slow as you can and not just: This, this, this.. and ohh.. I know! This can go, to!
And infact you just deleted the csc.. just be carfefull!
And if something goes wrong, who cares? You created a backup As long as you backup your stff, before mucking around, with your system files, you're pretty much fine!
I learnt to do this sort of stuff, by thinking: It's AOSP, I've got the stuff on my PC and I'm really nosy! Let's do this, this.. Oh... wiat. Wait if.. Oh, who cares!
Just be a daredevil, don't be afraid, to mod your phone. Always do a backup (NAND, or ADB) and you're fine, like I said
Happy daring!

I'm not actually deleting anything, just using the disable function in ICS. Thank you very much for the feedback though. I did pretty much do what you said, trial and error. And if something goes wrong I can just enable the app again.
Sent from my Galaxy SIII using XDA-developers incredible android app
First about touchwiz home, you also can disable it on unrooted stock, if you installed a third party launcher before like apex.
About trial and error and disabling, still be careful, if you disable something the system needs it could be your Rom gets unstable or won't boot when you reboot next time. At this case the rooted method is way better, because without you aren't able to backup or restore if something fails. Yes you can mess up more than without root, but it doesn't really matter, because you can backup your whole system.
Edit: ok, sry my fault, you indeed can't disable touchwiz home without root.
