Unrooted Xoom here.
Just found this app (thanks to a forum member!) and I'm wondering if I can use it to uninstall apps I don't want i.e Dungeon Defender.
TIA

Not sure but I know root explorer works.

I'd be curious why you don't just do so through the Market? Either way ES File Explorer is great -- I use it to manage files on my server both through FTP and my local network. Fantastic app it is!

You can get rid of anything in /system/app just by renaming it so it doesn't end in apk.

I am wanting to delete some of the pre-installed apps.
They don't show up as market downloads.

You can't remove system apps through the market.

My bad didn't read far enough! I just tried unrooted and it was unsuccessful. Back on the phone it was easy to do. Not sure if its the same as I'm waiting to root. But go to the menu, click manage, then apps. Again rooted may be a different story.

Don't you need root to be going around and messing with system files? Pretty sure you do, but I might be wrong.

I was considering ditching my old stock Droid X "File Manager" app for Astro, but I'm hesitant to do so since the market doesn't have the generic stock one for me to redownload. I discussed this in another thread of mine and the guy that responded said with Titanium backup on my phone Astro is kind of useless. I'm not 100% sure of that. Any thoughts?

Just install Astro and if you don't like it delete it...It doesn't hurt to have both
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I already installed Astro once and liked certain things about it, but the stock file manager has something called "Shared Folders". I was afraid that uninstalling it might mess up the "Media Share" app since Astro doesn't have that particular feature. Other than that I think Astro is more expansive and runs much more smoothly. Does uninstalling the stock file manager mess up Media Share?

Well I guess the OCD in me want my phone to be as "clean" as possible. I hate for apps I don't use to be running in the background and I hate running multiple apps that do the same thing (like "Social Networking" vs Tweetdeck"). Anyway, I appreciate your input. Thanks.

Uh freeze the apps with titanium backup, esp sys apps, then you don't have to worry about trying to reinstall them if they cause malfunctions...

Nevermind about Astro. I paid for "Root Explorer" last night and I'm pretty darn sure it's superior to any other file manager that I've seen. Also, I renamed the stock File Manager app to ".bak" by using Root Explorer, so now I don't have to worry about reinstalling it if I wanna use it again. I wish I'd done that with all the apps I've uninstalled in the past.... :-(

+1 for Root Explorer.
Root Explorer is by far the best with functionality. You can also get Explorer, which is the free version of it.
Root explorer is MILES ahead of all others hands down.

GetNZB (from the Market) allows you to download nzbs from nzb.org and upload to an FTP server. I use it for uploading nzbs to my NAS which polls for nzbs in a specific folder then starts downloading.

I've got sabnzbd working on my xoom. I installed ubuntu using the guide on this forum (in android developments) once it was working a quick "apt-get sabnzbdplus"gets it installed. Then edit the /etc/default/sabnzbdlus to set the user as root.
Once its running connect to 127.0.0.1:8080 and it'll bring up the wizard.
Tada. ;-)
You can install transmisson this way as well with a quick "apt-get install transmisson-daemon" then connect to 127.0.0.1:9091

The only one I know of is NewzDroid.
EZ Usenet guys. It is for Easynews if you have an account and you can download directly to your Xoom or android device. Works great...free version has 15 days of news and paid is of course more days..

tried it last year and it wasnt good. no trial ver either afaik to test
The official Sonos Controller is now in the Android App Market. Unfortunately, there's no Honeycomb support. Can't seems to find the apk on my phone once it was downloaded. Would like to side load it onto my Xoom to see if it works.
Let me know if anyone can point this out.
Install ES File Explorer, open it then click Menu, Manager, App Manager. Long press on the app and press Backup, it will then backup the apk to backups\apps on the sdcard.
Excellent!
Very accurate instructions. I'm very thankful.
No problem

I was able to get it running on my XOOM. But it was definitely built for the phone devices. Its small and vertical. Come on Sonos!

Can you post the apk somewhere ?
I only have one android device, its a tablet... I'd like to try the sonos app.

Install Spare Parts from the Market and disable compatability mode, that will stretch the app out for you.
Anyone having hardtime setting up exchange activesync on A500? I can't seem to find an option to set it up.all it has is POP3 and IMAP
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
That is because it doesn't have it. Touchdown or K9 work. Touchdown for tablets is especially nice.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
Is it possible to get the .apk from Xoom or ASUS transformer(not sure if exchange is available).
I want it bad as well both touchdown and K9 doesn't work for me but I could easily connect from my desire HD.
Actually now that we have root that may work. I will test it. I have zero fear of bricking anything as I have a hookup on getting it swapped if needed.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
it is dumb that it doesnt. The honeycomb port for nook color had it. HTML email and all. Acer must have stripped it out or not included. Come to think of it I am going to see if I can find it in there! would swapping out the mail.apk work, my guess is not till we have a deoxed rom, correct....bummer
And working.

Download, extract, use root explorer to rename email.apk and email.odex to email.apk.old and email.odex.old, place in /system/app, set permissions to rw-r-r, reboot, enjoy.
I would have made a flashable .zip, but we don't have cwm yet, lol.

I did notice no folder level sync, just inbox. Bollocks. Also, change your signature. It says Asus eee pad transformer.

May be Xoom can sync folders.why would Acer do something stupid like this,scare off the enterprise customers?

Hmm, link works for me. Tested on three devices. I can reupload, but it will be later.

I must be missing a step. I have renamed the Email.apk and Email.odex in system/app to Email2.apk and Email2.odex.
Then copied the 2 extracted files to system/app .
But no go, I don't have an exchange option when setting up email accounts....
I've probably missed something that is totally obvious, maybe someone could point out to me what it is...
Thanks
You probably forgot to set permissions.
This worked wonderfully, thanks!
I did set the permissions... so I don't know what I've done wrong.
Do you now have a setting when manually configuring an email account to setup as exchange, or should I be looking elsewhere for it?
Edit: got it sorted out, it wasn't enough to just rename the original files, I had to take them out of the system\app folder all together. Now it's working as it should. Thanks
Great works like a charm....
Brilliant saves me having to pay for the full version of touchdown!
Does this sync contacts as well?

Use a file explorer and browse to system/app/ -- locate YouTube.apk and install it from there.
You should be good to go.
Try updating it in the market
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I cant post links yet, but you should find the solution as the first result if you google:
"you tube app is installed but does not show??" android
Which instructs:
Just get ES File Explorer from the market.
Using ES File Explorer go to /system/app/ then click the YouTube.apk, it will prompt you if you want to re-install it.
Click yes, then restart your phone.
