You can disable this s... application from apps manager. No root needed. BTW maybe someone will explain why such a piece of junk is packed to os and allowed to start on it's own while doing nothing useful.

settings /more/application manager

As others mention, either disable it or delete the APK file in system/apps using a file explorer

Sorted
Thanks people

Problem with preinstalled apps

Hi everyone. I have a little but frustrating Problem with my galaxy. My phone came with some preinstalled apps like adiko ebook,layar, google maps...
To keep them updated I reinstalled them using the market. They were all recognized (a message warned me that the market version would subsitute the preinstalled one), but google voice search. Now I have two separate voice search installations running. One is version 1.4.0 and the other is 1.4.6 (it's fiom the market). Is there a way to resolve this issue? Thanks.

Another question would be how can i update it?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
just uninstall the one that you don't want
or uninstall both, then only install the version that you want
some ROM apps, can only be removed after you Root the phone
I think that this is the case, cause I can remore only the one I installed from the market. The preinstalled one it's not even listed in apps management.
Thanks.

Edit: sorry for being a noob. I found that app in the list of the app manager changing the filter. But still can't uninstall it. Thanks.

Removing car panel SOLVED

My dhd is rooted with s off.
I really want to uninstall the car panel app but can't find it in root manager or root explorer or adb list. Does anyone know the apk name and any other linked apk that works with it?
I'd really appreciate the help.

You should go into root explorer, go to the system/app/, folder and it should be in there.

All the apps are there but I can't find the car panel apk. They might have named it something not obvious. Do you know the name of the apk? Thanks for getting back to me by the way.

Still no one who found it? I'm looking to get ridt of it too..
It is part of the locations app. If you want to get rid of it you must delete the entire locations suite.
If this is really what you want, delete all the files containing either "locations" or "laputa" in the file name from /system/app using root explorer.

s4 samsung apps different to s2 samsung app?

Hi,
For some reason i cant seem to have my purchased apps listed on the samsung app store on the s4 but it is listed on the s2.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Clear data on S4 and sign in again... If doesn't work,use backup-restore app to generate apk in new folder, then send apk via Bluetooth wherever you want.

hi,
thanks for your advice but it doesnt seem to work. The app i need checks for licenses of the app so i cant copy the apk
If you are root user, u can remove license verification, or install cracked play store to verify all apps... If you are not,contact Google.
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
You can't have it unless it is set to be compatible for S4. I can't find Polaris Office there too.
My answers were based on "compatible with both devices apps" if it is with one and not the other... Of course you won't find it -___-

Any need for anti virus?

First time android user and I'm curious if there's a need for it...I am just exploring the apps and came across avg and figured you guys could help me out ha ha..thanks in advance!

Just be careful what and where you download apps and you should be fine. Also watch the permissions you allow for every app. For example a flashlight app doesn't need access to your contacts, storage or internet. These kind of apps you should stay away from.

No
Follow me: @Bash_Array
No. Ppl get viruses from installing apk from Internet from unknown users. App store is fine just some apps quality sucks. So as long as you stick to dl apps from playstore and you don't dl unknown stuff from unknown sources you'll be fine
