Hy. Is there anyway to rename an app in the menu? Not on the first screen. I would like to do this without any Launcher. I know that programs can rename apps in the menu. But can I make it without Launcher?
Somebody?
Please help me :/

I'm hoping someone can help. I would love a flashable zip of the vanilla lockscreen that works with the supervillain Rom, as its a quality Rom but I just really like the lockscreen. Anyone iniquities of one?

You could use Widget Locker. It can look like the vanilla lock screen and much more.
DesirableHTC over on the supervillain rom thread pointed me to the program root manager. With that you can just delete the htclockscreen.apk and reboot. And there you have the lovely vanilla lockscreen. Thanks for your advice too, widgetlocker is a great app.

Actually, there's a solution for that.
Simply push the attached DeskClock.apk via adb to /system/app/ . With this you can set the alarms and switch them off. Don't forget to disable the alarms in the Clock App of Sense.
thank you for this. widget locker rules!!!
So I was going through my root and after I've done my backup trying to remove some programs. I wanted to remove mymodes and the news apk. I don't seem to have them listed anywhere in my app folder? Yet the programs are currently in my app drawer, open, and run just fine. Can someone explain this too me?
A question for you. I have been looking everywhere but could not find a solution.
I am using firewall to filter calls and messages. Also I am using app protector pro to protect applications like settings, installer etc. The risk is, any one accessing to your phone can easily remove the apps (i.e App protector pro or Firewall etc..) from the app drawer (app drawer > menu > edit then touch the app to remove). Only 3rd party apps can be removed this way and not the system apps.
If there is a way to treat the 3rd party apps as system app then this accidental/mischief removal of apps can be stopped.
Is there anyone help in this..
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys,
Any thoughts in this issue.
Please help.... this may help many of the forum users..
Hey smohanv,
This will be my first post in this forum because I think I now have the knowledge to help others
So here it goes!
I used SGS Tools to remove some of my system apps.
Open SGS Tools > Cleanup System Apps and you can select which ones to delete.
It didn't took all system apps btw, I still had a few meaningless apps which I couldn't delete.
For these apps I used Root explorer to delete them manually. Be carefull tho, don't delete stuff you don't know.
Good luck.
Alright I now see my first post on this forum is a complete fail
You meant something else, treat the 3rd party apps as system apps so they won't get deleted.
Good question on which I don't know the answer yet but I did give you a bump hehe
Someone else has any suggestions?
Hi
Thanks for the response. The question is not about removing system app. The question is, how to prevent apps getting uninstalled by anyone seeing your phone. From the OS Froyo onwards, any app can be (except system app) removed just by invoking menu > remove by touching the icon.
If you have root you can copy the .apk of the app to /system/app.

Yes, as xxbeanxx said, if you have root, you can move the apps you want to protect into your /systems/ directory through ADB or through the Terminal app and that way it will not be available through the TouchWiz drawer delete option.

Thanks for the workaround. I have rooted phone. Can the apk file be moved to system/app folder using root explorer.
Thanks again. If it works through file explorer than using adb or terminal app many forum users can benefit.

Hi
It worked. Thanks for the suggestion. I copied the installed apk from data/app folder to system/app folder and restarted my device. It works.
Many thanks.

Hi to everybody.....
I know that until now i'm starting to be boring but !!!! Finally i have managed to install Dorimanx-ROM. Now i have some questions:
1. How to delete EMail.apk, i tried with some file explorer and i can't do it ?
2. How to put my own ringtone mellody ?
3. How to put normal wallpaper , because i don't like this "slideing" wallpaper, i want for each page normal wallpaper picture.
Hopeing to get answers ... Thanks and regards
P.S. I'm Newby
1. 2ways :
Open zip with for example winrar but DONT unzip just "look into "it and go to system/app or if it's not there to data/app and delete the apk, then reflash.
Or you use root explorer on your phone and delete it the same way and reboot.
2. There are several apps on the market being able to do this for you its the easier way
3. Install a different launcher or go to the launcher the rom has and see the settings for the option disable /enable wallpaper scrolling.
Hope this helps you and is a thanks worth for you.
