Can you remove stock apps?

I want to remove apps like peep, stocks, and news but can't figure out how to.
I cannot get stocks and news to stop syncing no matter what I try.

+1 on that

For a temporary fix I am using the intruder rom. I miss the sense UI but not being able to stop certain apps from syncing was killing my battery (and annoying).
Stocks, news, Peep (which I have never used), and friendstream (also never used) would still update constantly, even after setting all of these apps to manually update and turning sync off.

My Accounts question

What's the difference between these two facebook icons. I do have the facebook app installed. I don't want it to sync with my contacts tho.

I'd also like the answer. I think the one on the left is the Blur Facebook option, but when I click on the one on the right, it doesn't do anything. At all.

I can't even get the facebook account (made by the facebook app) to allow me to log in. I wish it would though. As a google voice user all the facebook and twitter moto blur breaks contact pictures for everything but moto apps

I dont know why you have two options for FB, but it's suppose to be for your social networking for moto blur, and you can opt out of the FB contact sync.

facebook issues now

The problem is that touchwiz has integrated facebook and system does not even recognize facebook app and therefore u end up with 2 separated apps that don't work together.

the facebook app from the market works fine, including sync (as of the update today)
go into facebook, settings, sync settings

The facebook app from the market is working fine for me as well, use it all the time, never had an issue with syncing on it yet. Good luck.

The facebook Touchwiz app is from samsung and has nothing to do with the Facebook app from the app store.

What TouchWiz app? You mean the feed widget? Why do you even use that? It's useless to begin with. Try the fb app from the market.

Facebook is integrated in touchwiz and works fine, syncs evens and contacts. Facebook app from market also work fine BUT when u enable sync there I get 2 extra linked contacts for every facebook contact that I already have. So the app and touchwiz don't work together and I had to disable app syncing....even under account you get 2 facebook entries

Just tested and removed integrated account and app sync didn't work correctly. I ended up without pictures, and 2 more Unknown entries. If you disable app sync and enable intergated then things work, but you are stuck with 2 facebook accounts in phone instead of one, and does have to sync updates.....

why are there two facebook applications?

Why are there two facebook applications on the mytouch 4G? One is called just facebook and one is called facebook for mytouch? When I upload pictures I can use both programs with different interfaces for uploading. Only facebook for mytouch is syncing my contacts.

The Facebook for myTouch is the one built into the phone. The that just says Facebook is the Facebook independent application that you downloaded from the marked. You don't need the Facebook app from the market for most things. So, if you want to make your send-to list look cleaner then you can unstall your downloaded Facebook app.
Out of the box the phone only has "Facebook for myTouch" and the fb integration is used to read and update statuses (friend stream, built in account sync, etc).
Hope that helps.

Thank you. That helped a lot. Just one question regarding updates. How is the facebook for mytouch application updated when not through the market?

How do you do status updates and stuff from the integrated one?

I deinstalled the facebook application and left only the facebook for mytouch application on the phone. You can do only status updates etc over the friends stream widget I guess. That is stupid. I reinstalled the facebook application again because I never use the friend stream widget anyway. I will remove the facebook for mytouch account for syncing and add the normal facebook account (edit: just found out you cannot add the facebook account for syncing). I don't know why HTC implemented so many redundant functions...peep and twitter, cannot use picasa in the gallery anymore either because they integrated flickr...at least they should give us the choice.

Ya that's why I can't wait till cm6.1 gets stable for this phone.i came from a g2 on rc3 lol

[Q] Facebook app sync

Hi everyone! I have a Milestone 2 and recently I became tired of motoblur social apps, so I downloaded the twitter and facebook original apps. The problem is that facebook app doesn't sync my contacts based on my friends. If I go Menu>Accounts and try to add the facebook account from the facebook app (not the fb icon from Motoblur), nothing happens (I just keep cliking the icon and nothing happens). If I go on facebook app Menu>Config>Other settings, it's empty, and there should be the sync options... Does anyone know an idea to fix it?
Another problem is my contact linking names, and I believe you are aware of this. If I link, for example "Gabriel Avignon" with "gdeavignon", the contact name will be shown "gdeavignon", which is ridiculous. Is there a way to fix that, like replacing the contacts app (BlurContacts.apk)? If there is, where can I find a right pack for that?
Thank you ppl!

I know all about the drama... As far as I know there's no fix.
The Facebook app syncs only on specific devices with the Facebook app preinstalled afaik (Milestone 1 is one of them).
The contact list bug annoyed the hell out of me ass well. For now I'm not using blur anymore but seesmic. Love it so far.
You might want to try to bug Motorola with it...

I see, thank you! But is seesmic able to contact syncing? I looked for it and found no option on the app..
Motorola is disappoint me =p. I'm still hoping it will release gingerbread update for M2. Whatever..

No seesmic can't do that. Sux indeed. You might want try to get a hold on a OG Milestone Facebook.apk. You might be able to sync contacts and the functionality remains after upgrading.

Ok, I'll try or continue with this motoblur till motorola release the new firmware WITH GINGERBREAD please -.- thank you very much

Just remove motoblur app from facebook app list, also remove facebook from motoblur account and then try to add the facebook again. It's work for me after facebook update last night.
