I already got rid of that kind of stuff but I cannot find these particular files. I'm rooted running Virtuous.

I believe they are in /system/apps
Try using root explorer or a similar app and deleting them or download titanium backup and just freeze them usually I can find any apparently to freeze or uninstall with that

I tried looking there with no luck. I ended up just freezing them. :-\

How do I do that?

You use root explorer to go to
System >app> find face book delete it

Or you can use, SDX Stock app removal, root explorer never seemed to delete system apps for me, even tho i had it on r/w. SDX is also nice cause it backs it up!
I hardly ever use root explorer just sometimes to save apps for backup off the market..
I completely forgot about that
I'm too used to pushing everything by root explorer

There is no need to upgrade to 1.5.1 there was very minor changes that you won't even notice. That's why I haven't themed it and kept 1.5 in my theme

I used root uninstaller to delete Facebook. I then downloaded it again. But it downloads 1.5 instead of the newer version. But then the newer version will not install.
Even though I may not need 1.5.1. What id there is a major update in the near future and I cannot update it.
I guess I can wait until the new bonsai comes out.
Thanks everyone.

Gtalk & market no longer work/exist

I have been running cm7.0.3 for some time now themed with adw and noticed something strange. Randomly my market was missing and my gtalk were missing. So I go into rom manager and redownload Google apps to see if it helps.......still no change. So I go into astro where I have alot of backed up apps and really install gtalk and market. Market and gtalk appear again but market says it encounters an error and fails to open every time. Then gtalk just opens to a blank black screen. Halp

Are the apps in system/app and have you flashed the gapps zip in recovery?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yes I see them in system apps. And yes I flashed the zip file. Didn't wipe anything either.

New market not showing updates?

Okay, so I searched as much as I could on the xda app for this answer, or the old market and couldn't find anything. Here's my problem, I am using the new market and none of my apps seem to be updating or even showing they need updated, when I go search an app I have installed and open it in market it says it needs an update. I'm not really diggin this new market, how would one go about getting the old market back? I searched in themes & app for the old one and could only find impalied darkness, trid to get it to install and wouldn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

Unless you deleted your old one you should be able to just uninstall the new one and get back the older ones.

Xda app shortcut not working?

Okay this has never happened before my xda app shortcut no longer works the only way I can open it is in the google search bar? I tried to uninstall and then reinstall but it keeps saying uninstall unsuccessful. I tried deleting with root explorer but when I reboot the app is still there what's goin on haha?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Just curious to know what rom are you running and what version of the xda app are you using..?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
Themed mortify and my version is 1.2.1
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Out of curiosity do you have a themed XDA app? Make sure you click the top right tab in root explorer to make system r/w to delete files.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium
And what launcher are you using? Sometimes when I update the app go launcher ex stops recognizing my short cuts and I have to put the updated app in its place.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
Launcherpro plus (nonpirated ) haha I gried restarting it several times and nothing I think I'm gunna try fixing permissions next maybe my root explorers permission got a little funky?

Are you preparing for the Avengers Movie promotion?
Anyway, since you are rooted (assuming so, because you defrosted with TB), I personally would go and just delete it, then reflash the ROM that you are using. Or you could just extract the apk from a stock rom and then put it in its place in the /system/app directory.
Yes exactly! Getting ready to download Avengers!
Thanks for the info..but dumb/noob question..how do i extract the apk from the stock rom?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Use a zip file manager and navigate to it... I use 7zip.
Or.. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895997&page=2
Half way down that Page.... Doc Holiday posted the apk.
I got the same problem like you.I use an app called app quarantine and was able to defrost my previously frozen app by titanium.
Give it a try.
Sorry for my bad english
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
thanks guys! ill give both of your suggestions a shot and let you guys know what work!
Thanks again for your help guys!
I tried the easier way - using app quarantine - and it worked perfectly!
Thanks..can't wait to get Avengers next week on my phone!!
