The user will have to remove it as the default launcher. Then you can call finish in the Activity.

Hm, ok.
One thing that came to my mind: Does it install itself as a device administrator? That might do what you want.

What's the name of it?
search the marketplace for vnc, look for whatever icon you think he was using, looks like the 'remote' app.
maybe it isn't a app on the marketplace, who knows. did you try to message him on youtube and just ask?

How do we go about removing the short cuts upon connecting headphones. On my S3 it used to be a option on accessories now it's gone.

Or if you are not rooted, disable notifications for the page buddy service using the application manager.

Either one of these works. Samsung had to go and remove the setting from the accessories setting.

Make app into system app

Is there any way to make an app like "Where's My Droid" a system app? I like the app, but if I do lose it, anybody that finds it can see the app and uninstall it. If it were a system app, the icon wouldn't be on the screen or in the app drawer.

[Must be rooted] You could manually move the apk from data / app to system / app using Root Explorer (or similar).
Thanks. I am rooted. I'll get root explorer and move it. Will it have to be installed again or is it a done deal?

Just move the apk and reboot.
I'm on it. Thanks again
For some reason I couldn't find it, but looking in Titanium Backup/Special Features, I found you can choose make system app. All's well now, but I'd still like to remove it from the app drawer, but still be able to access it. Is that possible?

You'll need to decompile and modify it -- which is not easy to do. Or you can use one of those "hide app" apps in the market.

Have you disabled Google Search?
If so, try enabling it and see if the Voice thingy is back.
