[Q] Superuser app

Hi Guys,
Just used "superoneclick" to root my phone.
I have just opened the superuser app but i get the message "no apps in list"
I wanted to be able to use this to delete unwanted apps from my phone.
Or is there another way to get rid of these now its rooted.
(BTW bit of a newbie so simple instructions please lol)
Thanks for your help in advance.
Rob

If you want to remove apps install Titanium Backup from Market

If your phone is rooted, you could try using Root Explorer, then go to the app folder and delete it there maybe? Not sure haven't tried it myself, but it might just work

[Q] Uninstall system apps! help

I want to uninstall Hero of Sparta demo! I rooted my a500 with honeycomb 3.1 today and still can't uninstall the app. I bought the game from gameloft and it installs to the external SD but once I reset the tablet the game reverts to demo mode. I figure if I can uninstall the demo version and install the paid version it should work.. hopefully.
But, how do I uninstall the game thats considered a system app? Also, acer help desk is a joke. A simple reply from them "sorry, you can't uninstall any apps that come with the a500"... please help

A couple of easy ways:
Use root explorer rename the .apk file in /system/app to .apk.bak and reboot.
Use titaniumbackup or mybackup pro to freeze the app and reboot.

That worked to uninstall but now the game crashes. I notcied the demo version is 3.2.5 and the one I just downloaded from gameloft is 3.0.9... I am not having luck with this at all!
I restored it using the titanium backup and the demo works just fine... Any suggestions to get the paid version to update to 3.2.5?
Thanks

[Q] How to reinstall vending.apk?

I'm using racht's Floyo v1.0a,and I found it have a FC issue on the newest version of market.
I deleted the vending.apk but I can't install market v.2.3.6 either manually put it back via root explorer or automatic installation(I know that is impossible,but I have to try it).
Please help if you know how to solve it(thx!)

You must also delete com.vending-1.apk in /data/app

I can't find it...
Anyway,thanks!

Wipe cache ( I mean /cache), and then use use Floyo´s update.zip via xrecovery and you should have a market.
Then delete market´s data via Titanium, uninstall it with the same app and try to install an older one.

um....I think it can't work for me,because my Titanium app also have FC iusse
Thank you anyway

this problem happen to my phone too, i wish it's fixed soon

I'd rather restore the old v1.0 :-(

[Q] Android market keeps reverting to phone version

I recently updated my Iconia a500 to the lastest update(unrooted). Since then the honeycomb market first appears when i open it, however if I try to install an app it stays at waiting to install...if I go to my apps from the app it opens it in the pre honeycomb version which is presumably the phone version. After that the honeycomb version is nowhere to be found untill I reinstall it. What might be the solution to this?
Thanks in advance for your help guys.

Has your tablet always been stock and unrooted..
Did you install the new market on the tablet before acer updated your tablet to the new market.if So where did you d/load it from.. There is a market .apk on the internet that has something wrong with it that causes this.. It installs on your tablet. Not replacing the original Market app. This was asked alot back when the new market first came out.
you can go to where the aps are system/apps and see if there is more then one market app. delete them both .
i went into settings then privacy .untick the backup account and automatic restore data this stops google from restoring data files for both market apps .then find a Legit verson of the android market apk..
Do a search on google for this issue to get step by step instructions. I am writing this out of my memory and it could be a bit off.

Thanks for your reply, my tablet has always been stock and unrooted, and for as long as I can remember has had the honeycomb market interface. Under manage applications there are two instances of the android market, the honeycomb one which can be uninstalled (uninstalls itself when I open the older version also) and the older version which doesn't have the option to be removed only remove updates.

im guessing the one that you can remove is a app that you installed..
I suggest you backup your files. to sd card..
Go to
settings
Privacy ..
and at the bottom you will see factory reset.. this will reset the tablet to total stock and remove the apps that did not come factory installed..
this should fix this issue.. for some reason a update did not remove the old market app or you installed it not knowing or forgot you did so...

Thanks for your help was hoping there was some other solution....I'm considering rooting it and installing a custom rom like what i did with my HTC sensation... once again thanks!!!

unfortunatley this need ROOT privilages.
Download "Market 3.4.4.apk" install with any File explorer app.
It's tuff to make the Market find outdated apps sometimes!
Doubtful : maybe there is a way to have a "market 3.4.4" made into a .zip file, rename to "update.zip" and boot into your stock recovery and it will add in ROM.

Nandroid backup is done inside of clockwork recovery which you can use rom manager to boot into.
Custom roms will usually come with busybox, but if you want to update your version you can download busybox installer from market
Not sure what you are doing with google maps, but if you uninstall maps it shouldnt give you a problem reinstalling another google maps apk manually or from market.
If it says read only on system folder then you have not changed to write access. What file browser are you using?
You can absolutely unstall any of the tmobile bloatware including tmobile tv. If you want a precooked rom that has all of this stuff removed and is stock in every other way then check the link in my sig for my mysense rom. It may be exactly what you are looking for.
