I've removed a bunch of the crap apps that come pre-installed on the Galaxy, however the stupid icons still show up in my app menu. Anyone know how to get rid of these icons??
You can make a custom app draw and place the apps in the order you want. Not sure if you can fully remove an icon but you could create another page and place them all on that.
Edit: How did you remove the stock junk? I've looked in the Setting > apps menu but uninstall was grayed out.
you need to r00t it then use adb shell goto data>app> then use the rm -r command to remove anything u don't want....
I don't know how to create a custom app drawer, can you elaborate?
There has to be a better solution than that btw, anyone else?
open app draw > menu > view type > customizable grid > puts you back at app draw.
Menu > edit > move app icons at will and create multiple pages, pages can have as many for as few icons as you chose.
I have removed these so far from /system/app:
AccountAndSync.apk
AddToHome.apk
Avatar.apk
BuddiesNow.apk

1. Grab ADB from the SDK from Google and put the tools dir somewhere easy to access via command line
2. Install the USB drivers (I had to install 3 drivers)
3. Root the phone
4. CMD to wherever you put the tools directory
5. Run "adb remount"
6. Run "adb shell"
7. (inside of the shell) "su" to root (only if you get a $ prompt, if you have a # prompt skip this step)
8. "cd /system/app"
9. Delete the above apk's
Do not enter any quotes above, only enter the command inside of the quotes.
Any suggestions on any other apk's to delete?
Simply reboot! That's all I did after I removed a bunch of apk and none of the icons show up anymore
I removed them and now it tells me that my camera doesn't work.

just wanted to post an alt method for those that dont like adb (we're out here, i have yet to install the drivers for this phone lol
Alt Method
1. If you’re rooted, purchase Root Manager (a must have tool for rooted androids)
2. Open Root Manager
3. Select System apps
4. Select App Remover
5. Seleck .apk files you don’t want and remove them.
6. Reboot the phone immediately after
7. Now go to menu
8. settings
9. manage applications
10. you will see apps that have their long name/path name “com.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx” and no icons
11. those are the remnants of the apk files you used to have which were locked (hence needing Root Manager)
12. uninstall these like you would any other non OEM/3rd Party app
13. You should be done!

i've removed telenav, mobitv, amazon mp3, and slacker radio so far
Let me know if this works for you guys or if i've missed anything (i am here to learn from this great community as well)
P.S. I had a hard time with Slacker Radio because i deleted the .apk as mentioned above but still had app in the app drawer and it still launched when i selected the icon. Turns out, I had updated it with AppBrain. When i went to uninstall Slacker through manage applications, it removed the update first then gave me a "uninstall unsuccessful". However when i went back to the list of apps, it did remove the icon and revert to "com.slacker.radio" in the apps list, then i went in to uninstall that and it worked fine. So, if any apps have updates on top of "factory", keep that in mind
I have noticed that the slacker radio and layar from samsung/TMO are quite gimped and don't really function very well. They seem to be tied to TMO and wants to charge your TMO account monthly for something. (I didn't really look close, I got to the "we want to charge your account" part and canceled.) I deleted them from the phone and then went to the market and downloaded the "real" apps... Yeah, there is none of that crap on the real apps.
>:-(
Most of the other TMO/Samsung apps did this as well, but I deleted most of them pronto. So if you want to use layar or slacker radio... Do yourself a favor and delete them, and grab them from the market.
I actually use Amazon MP3, so I kept that one.
When, oh when do the CMs a come!? Get along little doggy. Yehaw. *Bullwhip* (Yay, we got Cyanogen!)
I'm just uninstalling them with Titanium Backup (root needed). Things that I think I MAY want back, I just back up... I found that some after uninstalling, you can see in Settings->Applications->Manage, right under 3rd party at 0 bytes. I just uninstalled from there and it appears it removed all traces.
Note: Titanium Backup is acting flaky with restores, apps go back but it FC's before restoring data. Then I have to go back and restore data only. I felt better just reinstalling from market then restoring data only from TB. But that is another thread
could someone tell me what these apk are?
MyAccountStub_4-5-10.apk
vvm-signed.apk
My list of backed up and removed files are
AccountAndSync.apk & odex
Amazon apk
Avatar.apk & odex
AddToHome.apk & odex
DualClock.apk & odex
Email.apk & odex
Infoalarm.apk & odex (daily briefing)

couple of noob questions for you, that addtohome thing, if you uninstall that, what happens when you long press on an empty space on a home screen? launching addtohome brings up the same menu as a long press so i was wondering. Also what are the .odex files and what do they do?

long press on home screen brings up.... add to home menu
I believe removing that apk just removes the icon in the app draw, Similar to the Avatar APK which is also just an icon with a link... Not too sure about odex but read they should be removed also. When I "removed" items it was more move to a backup folder on the SD card just incase.
Jeez, I found another one. The kindle app (which I use) was not uninstallable. It had a "remove updates" button instead. I click on remove updates, and it basically uninstalled the app, but left all of the shortcuts on the home screen and the app menu orphaned.
I had to install it from the market, uninstall it from the market, and install it from the market again to get it working correctly. Now I have a proper "uninstall" button and market updates for this app.
It seems to me like every T-mobile/Samsung pre-installed app has something wrong with it. I can't wait until we get a real rom for this phone.

vvm-signed.apk - T-Mobile's Visual Voice Mail (If you use this, I recommend deleting this version and installing from the market instead.)
All of the stubs are basically shortcuts to the market to install the real apps. That one is the stub to install the T-Mobile "My Account" app. I removed all of the stubs. They just get in the way IMO.

The addtohome apk just puts a shortcut in the app tray to bring up the same menu as when you long press the background. I found it annoying, so I removed it. Removing it does not effect the menu that pops up when you long press an empty space on the home screen.
As I understand it, Odex files are there to speed up boot and to lessen the dalvik-cache usage a bit.
T1n0m3,
thanks again vvm and myact are removed myact added back from market, use GV for VM.
So its correct and safe to delete the the odex files of any apk you've removed?
I was using Titanium Backup to uninstall some of the apps that came with my Vibrant. I made sure to hit the back up button in Titanium Backup before I un-installed "Accounts & Sync" (I wanted to uninstall it because the icon in the app draw was annoying to me). So i deleted it and now I cant access my account and Titanium Backup wont let me restore. I was wondering if someone could please help me. Thank you..
The app was only a shortcut to Accounts & Sync.. just go into settings -> Accounts & Sync.
Thats my problem, It isnt there in the setting app..
Thats weird because I uninstalled it and it was still there even after i rebooted the phone.
You could always use ADB and push the .apk back into /system/app
How do I do that? And where can I find the .apk ?

Mhmmm thought you backed it up? do you have a ADB environment set up properly? It'll take a little bit of time to fully set that up.

It'll take some time to set this all up and when you finally do just put AccountAndSync.apk and AccountAndSync.odex to /system/app and it everything should be good again.
Update: Backed up my apps before i started deleting them and uploaded you a backup of AccountAndSync http://www.mediafire.com/?d95wccd37kfgaic
I will give it a try, Thank you very much. Ill let you know how it goes.

^^ for this to work place the two files in the .zip that i made into the root of /sdcard/ (14GB not the 2GB)
After looking around.. you could possibly get a app called Root Explorer (paid app) and have the same result.
* In Root Explorer, copy the apk file you want to put in /system/app
* Navigate to the /system/app directory
* Tap the Mount R/W button on the top right
* Tap Paste
* Scroll down to the pasted apk, long press on it and select Permissions (you'll see 9 check boxes when you do this)
* Check the Read and Write buttons for User, and only the Read boxes next to Group and Others, then tap OK (once you're done, the read/write permissions under the app name should be the same as all the other apps listed (rw-r--r--))
* Reboot.

I'm off to bed though. I'll check in tomorrow.
I tired using Droid Explorer but that didnt work, so then I went and bought "root explorer" and did everything as you said but it didnt work.. I dont know if this makes a difference but when I went into the properties for accountsandsync it said Owner: System
Group is sdcard_rw
While everything else in the /system/app folder says
Owner: Root
Group: Root.

I am in the exact same place. I used Titanium Backup to remove Account & Sync and now it is missing completely. I did do a backup from within Titanium Backup, but when I went to use the Restore feature, it wasn't available. I found a support page for Titanium Backup (http://matrixrewriter.com/android) and FAQ #10 states:
#10: Why is the "Restore" button disabled for some system apps ?
◦System apps are part of your ROM, so Titanium Backup will only backup their data (not the apps themselves). For this reason, if you backup a system app, and then switch to a ROM where that app is missing, Titanium Backup obviously cannot restore the data for it.
I just wish it would have made this more clear when I was doing the backup in the app.

At first, after removing Accounts & Sync using Titanium Backup, the option was still available from Settings -> Accounts & Sync. However, when I actually tried to go into it, it failed to start and it was somehow removed completely from the menu.
I have followed your steps for setting up Droid Explorer. I can get it to communicate with the phone, although it does show a '$' instead of a '#' when typing "adb shell" into the Command Prompt. I have copied the .apk and .odex files from the Zip you provided into the root of the device.
When I attempted to use the adb commands you listed, I get errors for all of them. For "adb remount" it says "remount failed: No such file or directory." For both "adb shell cp /sdcard/AccountAndSync.apk /system/app" and "adb shell cp /sdcard/AccountAndSync.odex /system/app" it says "cp: not found."
I then moved on to trying the Root Explorer app directly from the phone. I found the .apk and .odex files in the root of the /sdcard folder. I tried to copy and paste them into the the /system/app folder, but they never appear to paste correctly. It does not give me an error, but it never shows up in the correct spot, either. One thing is that you said I must press Mount R/W, however the system/app folder already says it's opened in R/W. The only option on the top right is Mount R/O, but pressing it doesn't appear to do anything.
I'm not sure what to do from here. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Yogi
Okay, I figured out what happened. Titanium Backup shows two "Accounts and Sync" apps... one is the actual app and the other is the icon that links to the app. I had removed both accidentally. I downloaded the AccountAndSync.apk someone posted in another thread and installed it with ADB. It brought the icon back, but not the actual application. Could someone please upload the .apk for the actual Accounts and Sync app?

After I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 my Gmail Widget went missing. Please help me getting in it back.
You need to reinstall using the .apk manually. Download a root explorer (ES File Explorer is a good free one). Go in settings and give it root access + mount for writing. Then, go into the /system/app folder, find the Gmail.apk file and open it. Hit uninstall, then install. If this doesnt work, rename the Gmail.apk to something like Gmail.bak, reboot, and then rename it back to Gmail.apk.
You can do this off adb / term. as well if you know how
gmail missing now?!
Okay, I went to try this, and uintalled Gmail.apk, but now it's gone so I can't re-install it. Ack! Help! Please!
Okay, for anyone else who makes the same mistake and doesn't back up the apk before installing... reflash the rom for the full ota update, and it brings back gmail! yay!

Hmm, I've tried this and still no. Even tried the re-flash with OTA update, no luck. When I select/open the Gmail.apk, it doesn't give me an uninstall option, just install. Here's what I've tried:
1. Open gmail.apk to reinstall (no uninstall option)
2. Rename gmail.apk to gmail.bak, reboot, rename back to gmail.apk, no luck (tried reboot after rename back to .apk, too)
3. rename to Gmail.bak, reflash with OTA update (which does bring back the gmail.apk)
Other thoughts?
Thanks!

Hey there, I just saw your post.. this part about:
"reflash the rom for the full ota update" to bring back gmail - I was under the impression that I already flashed the ROM for the 3.1 OTA.. did I not? Or do I just have to do it again?
Just putting the Tab into Downloader Mode and select the 'left' option, and select the 3.1 OTA file again ?

Not sure which guide you followed, but I followed this:
galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1
I re-flashed with hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip, but I don't think you need to if you backed up your Gmail.apk to /sdcard
If you didn't back up the Gmail.apk file and it's gone, you'll need to either re-flash with this file (under step 5 in the page I linked to) or reset to factory.
Hi, I've tried everything stated here it doesn't work.

Open (install) /sdcard/Gmail.apk
Can someone further explain this steps? maybe I did something wrong.

I accidentally installed an old android market (download917.mediafire.com/holh5mrm74gg/rest29bka7mm0ck/Vending.apk) to my kindle after rooting, I definitely want the latest one and have seen that it's possible in many different youtube video's. Can anybody help me with the removal of the old android market and provide me with a way to install the latest one?
Thank you very much!
1. Install Root Explorer from the market.
2. Deinstall the version you have using the by going to settings > more > Applications > All Applications > Market > Clear Data > Uninstall.
3. Copy attached market APK to your Downloads folder on the Fire.
4. Using Root Explorer, navigate to Downloads and copy market apk.
5. Using Root Explorer, navigate to System/App and click Mount R/W.
6. Paste market apk into folder.
7. Long press Market APK and change permissions to all permissions (or similar to your other system/app apks if you like).
8. Exit Root Explorer.
9. Shutdown and restart KF.
I didn't find "settings > more > Applications > All Applications > Market > Clear Data > Uninstall" under root explorer, but I used File Expert, where I did find something similar. After doing the necessary steps, I indeed managed to reinstall with the new market. Thank you so very much for the help!

You have to tap the top menu bar on the Fire (where you see the gear icon). You can then see the more (+) button when the menu drops down. The steps are then as I laid out. This is standard OOTB functionality to deinstall an app.
Glad you were able to remove the app via the alt method you found.

Hello,
I have similar problems but I the "uninstall" button is inactive for me. Any idea what to do?
Assuming you properly installed the old version of market just run the new version someone posted on this thread to install it. No need to do anything else. It's no different than any other system app that gets an update. The new version gets installed in /data/apps and gets run instead of the old version in /system.

Hi, i have rooted my kindle fire recently ( i had to do it manually because the KFU failed to root it) and installed the google framework and google play APK's manually.
but whenever i try to purchase an app, it force closes. and then it force closes every time after that when i try to open it again. when i go to clear the app data for it it will open again, but will still force close when i try to download an app
i also tried to install the app market version 3.4.4, but that always force closed as soon as i tried to open it
maybe i didnt root it right or maybe its not even rooted? how can you tell if its rooted properly. it als wont let me push anything to /system/. it says its read only or something
Edit: nevermind, i solved it. i had to put the kindle into recovery mode, mount /system/ using clockwork recovery, and then push the vendor.apk and install it while still in clockwork recovery
A little more detail please

I have the same thing going on. Can you elaborate a little more. How did you push it while in recovery? Did you have to make it a zip? I can only find zip files to open and since it isn't a zip I can't find another way to open the file.
Thanks in advance.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Assuming you have es file explorer installed just do what b63 said so file explorer will have write permissions on the kindle and drag and drop those 3 apks that were in that link 2nd page into the system/app folder and than reboot.... dont try to install them or anything like that just drop them in the app folder and reboot
Thanks guys I got it. I should have made my name NoobCake. What I was missing was....
I didn't understand that I needed to hit the little system folder next to the back arrow at the bottom of the Kindle to check the Root boxes. Once I found that it went great and Market is working good.
I really appreciate your help and to have it so fast is awesome. You guys ROCK!
