Didn't realize that...
But it is less clutter in my drawer
I also use LauncherPro so I can "hide" all those apps I don't want, and now my drawer has no junk in it.

This app has a service that starts up when you reboot. Yes, it doesn't remove the app, but it stops it from starting up the service and it is no longer accessible from the app drawer. In fact, when I did this trick, the icon didn't immediately go away from the LP app drawer, and I tried accessing it again. It was no longer usable.
Even if it's not freed up from the device, it's essentially dead.
Brand new getting my first 10 posts in so THANKS to OP for this tip.
Thanks for this.
or you could just temp root and freeze it. lol that works too.

I'd like to remove some of the shortcuts in All Programs, on my HTC Desire. I never use Footprints or Peep for example. I'd ideally like to uninstall them but will be as happy to just delete the shortcut.
How can I do this? Do I have to Root the HTC Desire, before I can do this? Thanks
Yes, a way to hide apps from the sense launcher would be great
I dont think it is possible, yet.
A temp solution would be to create a folder and dump all the apps you want inside.

That wouldn't remove them from "All Programs" though, unless I'm missing something?
if you have rooted your phone you can use a program called vault
Thanks. It's a shame you have to root the phone. With Windows Mobile you've got access to everything without having to root.
Anyone? Or is rooting the only answer?

Just use an alternate launcher like ADW. Then you can setup the app drawer any way you like. You can even have multiple settings. Not the only advantage btw.
Or use Titanium Backup. Worked fine for me.

Thanks. I've tried Launcher Pro Plus in the past and it's excellent but I still prefer HTC Sense plus Sense is already very good, so I'd prefer not to have the extra load (if I had to make do with rubbish like MotoBlur I would though). Hence the need for that app?

I'm pretty sure My Backup Pro doesn't support App Freezing. I've just installed Titanium (thanks Homerstar296, I see what you mean now) and it's root check annoyingly failed. I'm definitely rooted. Apparently I also need "BusyBox".
Is this safe to install/activate? I don't want to brick my phone obviously.
Just install busy box and it should work. No risk by installing that.

I haven't. I'm using the new paid version tho so I'm not sure.
You can always try clearing data or a fresh install.

I'm sorry man.. that sucks. Wish I could help.
Actually, the free XDA-Developers app is no longer on the market. I went and saw there was an update for it and I went to update it and it said the item couldn't be found. :|
Mine when open the app after still on the background sometime so didn't connect to the servers, press back button and FC, every time that happens.
I had some FC'S on mine as well and for some reason I had to do a cache/dalvik cache clean via recovery and that worked for me...not sure if that would do it for everyone or if you would even need to go that far but it fixed mine...

They removed the free one from the market and for some reason that's when I started to get FC and when I removed it and tried to reinstall it that's when I realized that it was not in the market anymore I got the paid version cause it was only $.99 but it was kinda odd that it started to happen when they removed the free version.
Yeah, ran into this today. Been using the blue flashable xda for a long time. Today, it somehow auto updated. I hate the brown, but do wanna support xda. I saw comments in market saying the new version diesnt seem to remember 'last read'. And that that color picks in settings doesn't work.
Any chance of a blue themed version coming. ?

Ok. So I went to manage apps, uninstall updates. Uninstalled update on xda. Got my blue xda back, but icon was still diarrhea brown (fugly), was frustrated. But, just rebooted and all is back to blue. Sure hope someone will work on this.
Thanks in advance to jchisurf, riptide, stoney, aamikam, etc

pretty lame that the XDA free app is no longer available........I wenth ahead and forked over the .99 cents to purchase it...........but it would never install, so just before the 15 minutes elapsed, I did the "refund"...........pretty lame indeed............come on XDA, bring the free app back.
I saw there was an update and tried to update and the item wasn't found, but then I did a long hold on the app in "my apps" and there was an update option. That worked to update mine. No FCs so far!
I did have to re-select my subscribed threads. But the app now tells you if people are online!

1. Get a different launcher, google nova launcher I think it has that ability.
2. You need to be in a clear place with plenty of light for facelock to configure and needs to be there for a good amount of time.
3. Go into the market go into settings and uncheck auto add widgets.

Thank you so much, but I already tested Nova Launcher, and I still cant edit my apps in the drawer.

I hope it's something that doesn't try and take over your phone's basic functionality. If it's just an App that doesn't do anything until you run it then that's fine with me.

It probably does run in the background on boot, unles you AutoStart it off.
On the stock-based ROMs, there's a background service called "SNS" (IIRC) that has the Facebook logo as its icon. This app probably uses that service. SNS can be safely frozen.

IIRC, SNS cannot be disabled via Manage Apps....It must be "frozen" (disabled) via a root tool like Titanium Backup.

My thoughts exactly lol
I hate how they keep cramming FB and Twitter down our throats. If I wanted to let my friend know that I just took a dump, I'd call him on the phone like normal people.
I am glad to see an even greater number and diversity of apps coming to android, and specifically the Note2. That said, Facebook Home will never have an opportunity to afflict my Note2.
Would be promising if it weren't made by Facebook. The app alone is lucky to still be installed.

Why is everybody attacking this? It's an optional app, no more intrusive than any other app on the market. Download it if you want to give it ago, uninstall it if you don't like it.
Anyone find it in the market yet? The facebook app had an update but when I go to settings and enable facebook home it takes me to Google play and says item not found.

This is all I could do also.. you can disable most of the bloat.. but it's still there taking up space.

Ok. I thought you disabled the apps using the Settings>Application Manager route. In the application manager you can see many other apps also which are not listed as your apps but are running in the background and can be disabled. Also, using this method, for each app you can first clear the data and cache before disabling / turning off the app thereby freeing up some more space taken by these apps.
I would love to know this as well, specifically the ones not found in the app drawer
Is disabling the app like freezing the app?

Without root you probably can't freeze apps. You can probably only turn them off
