How do I delete the partners folder bookmarks from stock chrome browser. My browser opens to this folder every time and it's getting irritating. I tried disabling then re enabling chrome but it's always there and I can't delete it. Thanks.
Fyi I love chrome.

You try uninstalling and installing Chrome from the Play Store?

Worked for me. Had to uninstall from TiBackup and download/install from Play Store. Thank you.
I had to use titanium backup. Chrome is a system file in the Verizon version and could only be disabled in the play store. Titanium worked great thanks!

This also worked for the Sprint version. Thanks much all.
There is an apk that runs partner bookmarks. Search the system apks you shall find it. Froze mine, gone. I've been using stock lg browser I flashed. So much smoother and has q slide in app. No connected to notification slice though.
The Partner Bookmarks app can be disabled in the stock Application Manager also: com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks.apk
Requires a reboot afterwards.

Hi everyone.
A while ago I installed an application called Fake Google Chrome icon.
Ever since I updated it it changes my homepage. Everyone is telling me to uninstall it, but it's not in the Market anymore.
How can I uninstall it if it's not in the Market?
I have an Evo...and I am using Fresh.
Thanks!
Menu -> Settings -> Applications
Find the app, tap on it, chose uninstall
I'd use Titanium Backup. It's a great program. Deleting apps is just one of many features. Some file managers (like ES File Explorer) allow you to delete apps also.

Although everybody is correct, just do what Sph33r said.

Thanks guys for all your replies. I went with using the app called uninstaller. Thanks again
I also just checked I can go to apps in the settings and I can uninstall from there.

I had the app backed up before the new update. So when I noticed that the app would change my homepage, I deleted it and used Titanium backup to restore the one previous to that update. So now I have the Fake Google Chrome (working without changing my homepage) even if its not in the market anymore. Thanks to titanium

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
I only tried with youtube, these other apps I dont will use and dont try with these. and I uninstalled it, these apps appears like youtube app in titanium backup
edit: I tried install google voice and google earth and no problem for me
I had a same problem on my Nexus S, what I did was, I navigated to /system/app/ folder on my phone with ES File Explorer, found the YouTube.apk and reinstalled it from there!
PS. Android Market and my phone showed the application as installed, and all options were greyed out (Open, Install, Uninstall)!
I fixed it with ep file explorer. Fix the youtube app
But still have problems with voice recorder thinkfree office and others that wont install and show up in my menu.

I had to do this several times because it kept getting messed up. Couldn't uninstall it normally but it didn't open.

But with titanium backup you need root access what i dont have. Then it isnot possible?

I cannot uninstall it with a free app. Google vpice or thinkfree are not even visible.
I can only see these apk files with ep file.explorer

My odd solution:
-Download GApps from Rom Manager...or wherever
-Flash GApps via recovery
-Reboot (Still no YouTube...)
-Go to Market
-Re-install Youtube from Market
When my YouTube "disappeared", it "appeared" in the Market as installed but the Open and Unistall buttons were greyed out. The icon in the drawer and the widget option were both gone.
I don't have that Think Free Office icon either in the apps drawer, but the TFO is installed in my phone. I was little bit confused about that thing, but now I see it's a common issue...?
I find it in xoom forum,thought it might help
If you have had a problem with the missing YouTube and/or Google Books applications, we have a workaround you can try.
Connect to WiFi network. (So far it looks like only WiFi Xooms have had this issue. Let me know if you have this on a Verizon Xoom.)
Go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
Go to the "All" tab and then scroll down and select "Google Partner Setup."
Clear Data.
Reboot your Xoom. (That is, turn it off and on.)
If this doesn't work, perform a factory reset (Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset) and try the sequence above again.
Please let me know how if this works for you.

How? Was it the suggestion to clear data from the Google Partner Setup or something else?
Hi
After updating to 4.1.2, I got a "Samsung Mobile" folder in mobile bookmarks in Chrome.
Anyone know how to delete that?
I dont get the delete option when I hold on the folder.
Phone is not rooted.
Me too, bloody annoying!
You could remove it with titanium backup and then install from the market.

Phone is not rooted, and will not be. (Company phone with software installed to check for root)
Chrome is already installed from the market.
I'm wondering how Samsung is allowed to make permanently active bookmarks in a 3rd party program.
There must be a way round it, i tried deleting cashe and app data, uninstalled updated but nothing removes it without rooting!
I cant believe samsung has done this! very annoying it pop ups when i want to access my bookmarks
The answer is here:

View the applications in Settings/Application Manager/All. Best viewed in landscape to see the full application name.

It's a system app in 4.1.2. It's called chromewithbrowser.apk in the system folder. Then it updates from the market just like Gmail, maps etc.

I'm missing my quick controls from my note 2like crazy!!!! Anyone have luck with an app for them. Just noticed in the browser there isn't an option like with the note 2 to clear cookies and cache, unless I'm just missing it. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Use android browser by digital cookies in play store. It has full screen, quick controls and supports flash. The stock browser blows!

There's also this aosp installer (if you have root). This has an option to also install chromesync to sync your bookmarks to the aosp browser
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.aospinstaller
I haven't tried it yet, I'll update when I root. I'm going to try installing cyanogen's modded aosp browser and chromebookmarkssyncadapter to see if they work
AOSP Browser Working
I hope this helps, I have the aosp browser installed working flawlessly on my gn3. All of my google bookmarks sync (go to settings->google account-> sync bookmarks), the bookmarks widget works, the quick controls work, even the stylus works in it. This is just like having my galaxy nexus except faster and smoother. Not sure if you have to freeze or uninstall the stock samsung browser first, but I went into the system apps and renamed sbrowser.apk and odex to .bak files to disable them before using this app from the playstore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.aospinstaller
You do need root access for this, otherwise you can install the app from digitalcookies in the app store, but you won't get bookmarks to sync with that one
Without high jacking the thread, how can I get the desktop flag to be fixed in the stock browser?
So Far I froze Moto Care runs in the background all the time and I froze Moto update service it also runs in the background all the time.
I did not see anything else I don't need running that needed to be frozen.

For some reason message kept showing messages i had already read even though textra was set as default.

It would be like disabling an app. I use titanium backup to freeze my apps. I bought it a long time ago. You will need to be rooted to freeze an app.

I also use titanium backup one of the main reasons to root...
Moto Update services?

If there's an OTA, you wont be getting notified if you freeze Update Services app.
Also App Quarantine is a free app that can be used to freeze apps and services (needs root)

Yeah I use Textra also. For calendar I use Business Calendar, you SHOULD NOT freeze the Google Calendar because you can't sync calendar. Just info for other people.
