Make sure don't delete gmail, because your market will no longer work, and gotta do a restore! that is what happened to me

how do you uninstall this software?
i have rooted x8, and try to uninstall it using launcher pro (drag to recycle bin) but it said uninstall unsuccesful.
any idea?

Hi,
R2R - I dont know, but uninstalled some weeks ago, and everything works fine
Creatouch - I dont know
Geotags - If you switch on GPS receiver, it adds the geocoordinates to your pictures, and oyu can show them on Google Map
Roadsync - Microsoft Exchange mail client. If you dont use exchange, uninstall.

[Q]titanium

sorry to intrude guys but just a quikie and since you guys are devs i reckon your the guys to ask..........................if i un-install some apps (moxier, playnow etc) using titanium un-install button, does it remove all data and associated files eg registry and libs or do i have to do something else to rid my phone of all this other crap like? i uninstalled facebook but if i go to online service accounts i can still log on via that facebook, but im guessing thats more connected to the timescape app
Post moved to new thread to General.
It might still be there, i think youd need to go into settings, applications, manage applications n find the app then when ya enter it clear data n cache.. I think thats the solution..

Help in restoring default Messaging app!

I need help in restoring the default Messaging app in my rooted phone. I un-installed it during Titanium Backup. I also made a back up of it before un-installing but now I can't find the apk in my Titanium Backup folder. Anyone know how I can restore it? I'm not getting any sms even though I have Handcent installed.
The thing you gotta know about titanium backup is that no matter if u back it up or not, you cant restore stock apps (default)!
wel I had a similar situation altho I purposely took it of cause I had chompsms n I thought that was enough. I've been wondering since that day if that was the cause n I guess u jus answered it for me.
I rerooted cause I didn't know much around that time..
Try install the messaging app below n let me know if it works..
http://db.tt/JlnKmQ
If it doesn't u might need to push it to system, don't have that code on me at mo but I'm sure someone wil b able to provide it!
Hope it helps!!

Ive removed the default messaging app and i still receive my sms using handcent.
(Double checked just now too)
You have probably removed something else alongside with it at the time.
Maybe.. but there's someone who posted same problem as me.. just seen it today! It may kick in eventually 4 u OR u might b lucky!! lol

Ive removed quite abit from my phone including:
Google Mail,
Google Talk
Google Mail Storage
Maps
VPN Services
Network location
Wiper App
Sony ericsson sync
Sony ericsson sync Client Wizard
Street View... to name a few.
Also ive frozen:
Google Partner Setup and Google Settings Provider
And my handset is running sweet.. (*touches wood*)
Thanks for uploading the mms.apk. Well, I eventually flashed back to the original firmware using SEUS, and then restored my apps & data using what I've backup-ed. So things are back to normal.

Just got Atrix: Need help with bloatware, etc.

So I just got my Atrix in the mail, and I'll create a MotoBlur account, but I really don't want to use it. I'm experienced with Android and I will DL LauncherPro but I hear that Blur still runs in the background. ("Has its tenticles deeper than just the launcher)
I don't want to root just yet, but how can I go about taking back control over the phone. What's the easiest way to remove most of the bloatware, and how can I make it so MotoBlur doesn't waste my battery and data plan? I don't want it to sync all my social stuff for me. That's what Pure Messenger is for.
Oh and do any cases fit in the car dock?
Was thinking about just deleting all the widgets, but I'm sure it'd still be trying to sync.

Just don't set up any accounts under the MotoBlur section in Accounts and use third party apps for things like FB and Yahoo. Also, you can just go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and uninstall all the bloatware. It really doesn't uninstall them from the phone but they won't be running or taking up RAM and CPU, basically freezing them. Don't use any of the Moto apps or widgets either because they require you setup accounts under the MotoBlur section.
OK. So what you're saying is to create a Blur when I first boot the phone up, then go to account settings and delete it? Or just set it to no sync?

No, you need a Blur account to use the phone but you don't need to associate any of your email or social accounts to it. When you go into Accounts it will be broken into two different sections, MotoBlur accounts up top and Other Accounts on the bottom. Do not set up any accounts under the MotoBlur section, just leave it as is. Obviously set up your Google account at the bottom and then download apps from the market to use for other social and email accounts. Don't even bother going back to "Accounts", just use your apps. And again, don't use the "Messaging" and "Social Networking" either because they are associated with Blur. Don't bother with any Motorola widgets either. You'll already have the Gmail app and a "Text Messaging" app in the drawer.

Oh, also, make sure you go to Settings>Data manager and uncheck all those options as well, you don't need them. Set up all your notifications from within the apps you have downloaded.

Wait, are you saying to get rid of Data enabled as well? (enable data access over mobile network)
Wouldn't that then not allow you to sync with gmail over the AT&T network?
Also, how much harm does enabling background data in the settings do? I thought it was just a 'global settings' thing so that it allows for sync?

Right, sorry, just deselect whats under the "Application data delivery" in Settings>Data Manager>Data Delivery
I need some help transfering my stuff...
I've been trying all day and all I've managed is a couple of apps using AppBrain sync.
My google contacts didn't sync either...
Could somebody list out the easiest way to transfer everything? Including:
- Music
- Gameloft Games
- Regular apps and their data
- Contacts
- Pictures and video
I have a feeling using my computer as the vector to transfer would be the best idea for some like the music.

Wait, you want us to disable background data and data enabled over mobile network? Won't that kill every app that needs data?

Go to market, download soft "SystemApp Remover" and remove any bloatware you want.

Well, you can use the built in app manager to "uninstall" the bloatware on the Atrix and the OP has already said he does NOT want to root yet. But if he did I would suggest using Titanium and freeze the apps so you could get OTA updates in the future.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972459
easiest way to deal with bloatware is to root your phone using superoneclick and then use BloatFreezer to freeze any of the motoblur services (its highly recommended you get another Home before freezing motoblur). BloatFreezer only costs a dollar, while titanium backup is close to $4, use whichever one you want, but i highly recommend BloatFreezer if all you want to do is freeze applications.

Facebook in Xperia

Then simply uninstall this crap.
If you dont use it...then you dont need it.
And if you need it, download it market. Its free app.

Fire HD 10 (2019) Gmail & Contact

I've successfully got Play Store installed, after installing the four google service apps. I've allowed permission on everything except Google Service Framework Read/Write instant messages. Most of the google apps are working fine but I have problems with 2:
- Gmail: I cannot view or download any attachments
- Contact: I cannot sync any contacts
Is there any fixes or work around for this?

I actually tried installing Google Contacts Sync 9-4832352 but it didn't work. Which version should I install?
Also, contacts I can live without, but gmail attachment is very important. Any idea on that?
