I installed the Palm Messaging App that threads text messages just to see how it looked and wasnt really fond of it so I wanted to remove it. Well, It was unable to be fully uninstalled for whatever reason and now the hardkey for messaging doesn't list text messages, and the today plugin is still there and launches the Palm app.
Does anyone know a way to manually uninstall this, via registry or something?
Palm Messaging App
Worst case scenario ... which is what I've done many times in the past ... is physically delete the directory and all the files in it. Go into your Today settings and remove the app. You can try searching for the app name in the Registry and remove it manually (backup your registry first).
WARNING ... this is a last case scenario. Perhaps someone else has experience with this specific application. Perhaps you can list the application's full name and version. Maybe even where you got it from, in case someone else wants to play around with it and see if they can find a better way to remove it.
Good luck!
go to the buttos settings and change it.

Hallo, I have a cool applcation idea that I plan to implement that would probally make thiefes return my MDA-Pro after they stole it.
For that reason I need to be able to run an application or show a clickable screen on the MDA-Pro BEFORE login. That screen is supposed to be shown EVERYTIME the MDA-Pro is turned on. You can only proceed to the login screen from there with a certain keybaord shortcut. Also doing a reset should not disbale this feature. Can that be done some how ? If so how ?
I saw somewhere a password screen that was a picture and you had to click in just the right spot of the picture to gain access. I imagine that your message could be a picture to accomplish this. As for a hard reset solution, you'd have to add it to the ext rom so it would be re-installed automatically.

This can be nicely resource edited to match your theme.
However, I've stopped using all such programs because they reset your hardware button settings if you're using AEButton Plus or any third party mapper (eg ButtonMax).
I don't think this will get your phone back. I'm writing a program that might though. Working on it, I'll keep you posted. In the mean time, check out IIWPO.

Maybe I should be more specific:
I have already finished an app that does what I want:
It it has a little embedded window showing what the video conference camera currently sees. It displays some fake government info and an animated GPS localisation icon. It has several other little scary acting features (such as a windows that pops up after a short random while, saying "EuroSecure GPS localisation data and video sequence sucessfully transmitted!" ) and the thief can see the adress where the device should be returned too. That application can only be cancelled with a certain keycombination. Now my only problem is getting this application to ALWAYS run BEFORE the login screen.
Ok, I'm starting to think I'm crazy, because after extensive googling, and searching in this and several other forums, I haven't found anyone else with the problem I'm having. Here's the deal: every time I try to edit any settings related to notifications, my phone freezes.
I mainly see this when I try to go to the "Sounds & Notifications" panel, and try to access the "Notifications" tab, but it also happens if I try to change an individual's ringtone in my contacts, or other times.
A little background if it helps: I'm running a Cingular 8525 with the latest ROM, and the only thing I could think that might be causing any problems is FlexMail. I've got the latest beta release, and I remember reading that it does modify the tmail.exe file for some reason or other related to MAPI handling. But, I didn't have this problem when I first got FlexMail, just within the past week or so.
Has anyone else seen anything like this, or know what the problem might be?
Yes, I've searched the forum, searched everything, done any RTFM-related stuff I could think of, and tried the obvious soft resets to no avail. So please don't flame me as an idiot. I'm just a recent convert from years on a Palm OS that's trying to figure this thing out.
Well, it probably wont help you at all but FlexMail left my device nearly unusable: Freezes; standard today plugin for SMS/eMail did not work anymore; lost all my eMails (Inbox files on SD-card deleted); lost my FlexMail eMail configuration twice a week.. Then: No refund by the author. No excuses. No help. He just wanted my log files all the time. So have fun beta testing...
Still, your freeze could have another reason: check your /Windows/Rings/ directory: Any corrupted files? Open them up one by one (with the Media player) and make sure they work. Then search all your device for .wma files and make sure they are not corrupted. Would not know of any other reason right now ...
I have the solution to your problem as I was facing the same thing and no one could help me. You will notice the same not only with notifications but also in Phone, if you select options or video call options.
The problem resides in notes synchronization. I hard reset my device several times and synchronized items one by one until I discovered that when some default sounds that reside in teh documents folder (dogbark, ding, Alouette) cause this problem. Delete them and sync without them. The problem will go away.
found one..

Well, sounds a little odd but I will try Thanks
I have a problem with the Acer "apps" on my a500.
when I launch the eReading, Games, Social and Multimedia shortcuts I get a force close on the process "ApinAp (process android com.acer.app)" I have tried to clear data in "ApinAp" but it did not help... it worked when I bought my A500 a week ago.
but I don't know when it stopped working.
if anyone have a solution or a good idea to try please don't hesitate to answer ;-)
Reset it. There's probably a bad app having it's way with your tablet and causing the instability. If it continues to happen on stock, send it back.
Start installing your apps back one by one with time in between to test. Eventually you'll be able to track down the one app you shouldn't be using.
I have the same problem. After rooting, I restored *a lot* of the backups from my 2.2 phone. I uninstalled some because they didn't play nice with honeycomb, but I still haven't been able to find the culprit. Also, restoring the backup from their original, pristine condition did not help. I would really appreciate it if anyone knows which app(s) is/are responsible for this.

Ideally, you should post all the apps you've installed so anyone coming across this thread can scan what you have and have the chance to see an app that is knowingly bad.
You should always restore to a factory state to make sure it *is* a bad app though. That's the only way to verify if it's Honeycomb or a tablet hardware issue as being the cause rather than a rogue application.
Also, don't install *questionable* apps from *shady* sources. Eventually, this kind of thing will happen.
Well, I have installed lots of free apps, so it would take a while to post them all here. I have removed a few but it didn't help. It could be anything, of course, but I suspect it must be one that has root access. When I tried freezing a few likely culprits, it didn't change anything though.
Do you by any chance use morelocale 2?
I had some force closes and it was because my tablet was using a language that it didn't like (together with my Contacts) so I had to change some settings (use different locale or delete any custom characters from my contact list) and it worked.
I have the same problem. I restored apps from the android market because I couldn't figure out how to make market enabler work in the beginning. Ever since all the native apps are force-closing.

I have removed morelocale2 and the problem persists. However, Even after removing it, the added localisations seem to persist (for example, market is still translated to greek). Does anybody know of a method to completely remove its effects?
Removing locale won't disable it's effects. You can set it and them remove it and the settings will remain as you've set it.
You should reinstall it and then set it back to default settings and see if that helps you problem. My problem was an unsupported language that I've set in it and that caused crashes.
I redownloaded it and reset the settings to English (US). When I did that, the apinap force close message reappeared, so there must be some connection. Then, to make sure, I rebooted and tried the apps. Even though the new/old localisation was working as expected, the acer apps still force close, giving the same error as before.
Odd. Did you enter the info (in morelocale) manually or did you use the two selection buttons and pick the language from there?
I just picked it from the selection list.
Then it's not the same as my problem. But I still suspect that it has something to do with locale.
Do you have any custom characters under your contacts. Because that can cause problems (I've stumbled upon it when I was looking if anyone is experiencing the same crashes as I was).
If you do have them (any greek lethers and such) then try disabling google sync and wiping contacts and see if that helps. If it does than it's your contacts (some people reported that some unsupported characters and multiple notes could cause crashes on tablets).
If it still crashes then just enable sync again and restore the contacts.
I don't know what else you could do if you still experience crashes after that except a hard reset to check if that helps.
Thanks mate, I tried this too. In fact, I also removed everything with any Greek character at all. No luck at all, so I will give it a rest. I will just keep the apps in case they are needed for the 3.1 update.
I never used titanium backup, but if anyone is restoring a full backup set from this application and any honeycomb only settings gets deleted or written over by 2.2 information, you will probably have a crash..
just like flash 10.3 has 2 different libraries loaded, one for 2.2 and one for 3.0 , but only installed one of them, your device with flash will FC, when flash suddenly uses 2.2 libraries.. so not all backups and apps can be easily restored..
you will need to test the apps backed up, and avoid restoring any system settings.
I am on the March 5th build of ICS from Quarx, and have only experienced this issue on this ROM, however I have not tried going to another version to see if it's something I viewed/downloaded.
Every once in awhile I get a notification, it looks exactly like a smaller version of the Messaging app's icon. The title says something like "Faster, Better" etc. and once I click on it there is an image of an ad for UC Browser 8. It only happens when I have internet, but all I can do is swipe the notification and wait for it to happen again.
There is a folder in the root of my SD card called Joy. Inside are three more folders: Cache, PopAd, and config. Nothing in Cache, PopAd includes the ADucweb_en.jpg image that pops up. In config there is dk.pro, popAd.config, running.config, and sys.config.
When I delete the folder, it reappears once the ad pops up- which seems to coincide with why I always need internet when the ad pops up.
Any advice on how to handle this? It's annoying and could be simply malware (AVG finds nothing wrong) but it seems to be a total breach of privacy and security that a folder is able to redownload itself continuously against the user's wishes. I'm unaware if this has anything to do with the person/people behind UC Browser 8, but I feel I need to contact them as well for malicious advertising by someone.
I had these same notifications happening, and found those files too. After installing "Addons Detector" I found that these were coming from an app I'd recently installed called "Mission Impossible FREE" (com.letang.game109.en).
I wonder if there's a better way to identify the app that creates a notification. Nearly anonymous notifications seem like an easy spam vector. It'd be nice if a long press on a notification message gave identifying details about it's origin.

problem solved
same problem here. thx to another member, i now know how to remove it permanently. when the ad pops up, take note of the game/app that it's advertising. go to market and find its developer. then check and see if you have any of their app/game installed in your phone. just uninstall them and you'll be able to delete the joy folder permanently. and the ad will never pop up again.
the developer that's making these ads in my phone is call LeTang, Inc. i think it's the same for you.
I rooted my GS5 recently and nothing went wrong but when I uninstalled a root app the short-cuts on my keyboard disappeared. By that I mean that my keys on my keyboard normally had short-cuts on them that could be activated by holding the key for 1 second but ever since I uninstalled the root app they disappeared and now I have to go to the other tab on the keyboard to use my short-cuts. Its not a huge deal but its something I got used to and now that its gone it feels weird not having the option. Btw the app I deleted was the one I had to install to get Xblast Tools and Wanam but I cant remember the name of the app. Any help would be appreciated
Restore your backup to fix everything with two or three clicks.
If you aren't making backups, now you know why you should start doing so. Root is very useful but also gives you the power to cause greater damage. You should for instance never delete an app, just rename it so that you can revert changes if you need to.
I have no idea what app you are alluding to. Perhaps someone else will recognize it. Or you could break down and do a search. No doubt if you try a handful of different keywords you would quickly identify the app that you want. It's a good habit to always search before posting a question anyway. Often it gives you an immediate answer. And at the least enables you to pose better informed questions.
