Removing Live Wallpaper(s)

Probably a big NEWBIE ?.....
How do you delete a Live Wallpaper(s)?....
I installed 2 I want to delete off the tab....
Searched the web and didnt find much...
I guess the steps are to delete the files, just not sure where they are and
the file extension.....

I installed one today from the nexus s. It shows up in titanium backup and you can remove them there. If its from the market you can uninstall from that too. Hope it helps!

Thanks, I'll give TB a try....
The ones I want to delete were installed from apk's....
You are 100% correct on the ones from the Market...

Ironically, I'm trying to get live wallpapers to work on my gTablet. Can't seem to find ones that work. But still trying.

You can uninstall any user apps via Settings -- Applications (just choose the app in question and choose "uninstall").

[Q] Remove ads from apps & games

Probably a newbie question. How do I prevent ads from games/apps showing up. It can get quite annoying.

Can I do it without rooting?

You can temp-root and run it.

You'll still need root to put the hosts file in the appropriate folder, though...

Or you could just leave that "annoyance" and each time you get annoyed, remember that this is the reason you're getting stuff FOR FREE, and this is your way to support the developers. And if you don't like the ads - PAY.

[Request] Ebook apk from touchiz rom

Hi can someone pls extract the myfiles and ebook apk from the touchwiz rom and post it here?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App

The ebook.apk is too large to upload here. You probably should try these apps from the touchwiz rom for the transformer since it has been deodexed. Search google for touchwiz on the transformer-should be the first link. Or look in this Galaxy tab 10.1 general for TouchWiz on the galaxy tab 10.1 and there is a link there for the transformer rom. You can open the file in winrar/winzip and extract the two apps from the system/app directory. I dont think they are signed and you will need to copy them to the system/app directory on your device via root explorer or use adb push.
I have ebook running on the bonsai rom. The only issue I have is that you can only import one epub at a time.

I am looking for this too. Just went from Touchwiz ROM to Bonzai and I am missing the Ebook app as it had a great, fast interface and fast upload. I hate the Nook app. How can we get the Ebook app for deodexed Bonzai??

here ripped straight from my gt10.1

Gonna try that asap..if it works, thanks!!
One more request, can someone post the apk for the Touchwiz Clock widget? It's that one with white and green text in a square box. Also the weather widget while were at it?
Thanks!!
EDIT: Every time I try to import books it force closes, any way to make this work? I just installed the apk like normal from Astro... that's disappointing..
Actually now I can't even open the app without it force closing..

Heres the 2 you requested, no guarantees though.

What?
Does anyone know how to make the eBook app work on Bonsai? It either FCes at start or FCes when you try to import books.
And thanks for the other files fodawim.

MyFiles apk
https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/MyFiles.apk?w=45c92e6b
you need both of them for ebook app to work.
myfiles needs to installed as a system app, so just move it /system/app
and change permissions to 644
ebook apk can be installed normally
as for importing multiple files can be selected , it just cant scan through sub folders
i have it working on my bonsai rom.

Hi guys, how do I get these files to work on my rooted TF? Do I need to do anything else other than what was mentioned in the above comments. System app, changing permissions etc. I have done all these things but have not been able to get my files to install. Thank you

Those links are no longer working for me. I'd love to be able to get these two apps on my stock tab

Links work now but myfiles.apk won't install

If you already downloaded it on your g2, the apk file should be in data/app
You need a Root explorer like 'ES File Explorer' for it to acces the map.
Or isnt that your question?

Please see FAQ from apk-downloader where it states:

As XDA Forum Rules specifially state "Don't get us in trouble.", please refrain from posting such that would violate any Terms of Service. Link removed.
Also let me remind you that XDA does not promote the use of Warez so if it is the intent of the OP to reproduce paid APK's by asking this info, you may want to go elsewhere.
Thank you.

My apologies TRM. I was at work when I saw that and didn't get to read up on it. Thank you for removing the link.

Exactly why I didn't realy want to use it.
I got es file explorer and went into /system/app directory but it only shows the stock apks. It doesn't show the downloaded apks from the market... all the settings are enabled for root visibility... what am I doing wrong?
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk

Afaik I don't think you can just grab them. There are means of obtaining the apk files which I won't talk about, and don't PM me about it. Now, if you want those said apks for backup purposes, just install titanium backup.
Sent from my ghdudsjihfr using dhhcdfhuf.

I use a certain app from market that allows you to pull the APK of an already installed app so you can sideload on another device. My particluar use is taking apps that aren't available for my tablet from my phone and transfering it over (Tiny Tower, Contacts, etc...)

Use ES File Manager, press menu, select app manager. U will see all the app that u already install. Hold the icon for the app & select backup. U will get the apk.

[Request] Stock Samsung Apps Dump

So at first i thought all this bloat was just bs. But after some things i've checked out some apps i kinda wish i still had some of the Samsung apps. Unfortunately I'm a fool and instead of freezing i just deleted from Tibu.
Any help?

Did I post in the wrong section?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

In the development section there is a post that says "factory stock" using Odin. You could either reset to factory using this method or download the zip file and extract the app you need.

You can te download all the apps from samsung hub too. Deleting chat on will break svoice. Only way to get it back is to Odin or Kies

Man come on don't be lazy.... Just log into samsung hub and download... its like 5 seconds....

That would be easy if I didn't debloat my phone and get rid of hub. I never asked to be called lazy i just searched the forum like everyone should. Didn't see **** because i obviously didn't know what de-odexed meant so i thought i would start a new thread. Sorry that it comes off lazy i thought in general i could ask this dumb question instead of taking up a developer post.

I noticed the previously posted de-odexed dump was not complete. Its missing several items. Below are links to my attempt at de-odexing the system apps and framework. It is a complete dump.
Deodexed framework (MD5 543acaded314224318cd90775654b57c)
Deodexed apps (MD5 58de9c029f1f62ba06dcc634020eeca9)
I have actually pushed this to my device and verified its working. I did this by "stop"ing the Android runtime, using the internal "SD" with adb push and some for loops then an adb reboot. I will not provide more detailed instructions.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU TRY UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
I hope other ROM developers can use this as a base once we have a safe way to restore soft bricks.

I'm definitely new in the game but just wanted to clarify this statement. I disabled a bunch of the bloatware apps prior to rooting my S4 today. The only app I deleted using Rom Toolbox Lite was ChatOn before deciding it wasn't a good idea to remove anything instead of just leaving all the bloatware disabled.
I went back and re-installed ChatOn and ChatOn Voice & Video Chat through Google Play / Market and S Voice seems to be working just fine. I saw another thread that said uninstalling/deleting ChatOn would affect S Voice but I'm not seeing this effect. Was re-installing ChatOn through Google Play store vs Odin or Kies a waste of time?
Still learning here, any feedback is appreciated.
Edit: I ended up just doing recovery through Kies to ensure the stock apps were restored appropriately and made sure not to disable ChatOn this time. Just curious why S-Voice worked for me after having rooted and deleted ChatOn but others had issues with this.
