[Q] Facebook App wont let you revoke permissions - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I've noticed that when using Cyanogen and the new Facebook app with the crazy permissions, that it notices I've revoked permissions, should i choose to, and says it wont start until i restore them.
So I've deleted the app, as that's even creepier than the new permissions it wants.
However, as this will probably be the start of a new trend i was wondering if there was any other methods that could be used to prevent programs from doing this?
BTW - If you want to support Facebook or tell us how good Google+ is please go elsewhere, this is not for that discussion.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

I am pretty sure only the dev of an app is able to control what the app does or rather wants to do.

sorry to revive an old thread, but, this issue is getting only worse...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41903210

TMZ Android app :)

Hi,
Anyone has this (FREE) "TMZ" app for Android?
http://www.eurodroid.com/2010/03/celebrity-shame-news-portal-tmz-launches-official-android-app/
It is listed in Cyrket:
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.rhythmnewmedia.tmz/
But I cannot get it from the Market, not listed
I want to show this to my wife, I am trying to persuade her to ditch her WM phone and move to Android
To mod: If this is not allowed, I am sorry and please delete this thread. I thought this is a FREE app, so I may ask help from others to get the app.

Stock Android phone app

I am currently using MCR r2 ROM. All is fine, but I don't like HTC's phone app. Is it possible to put the stock phone app from the Nexus?
Thanks
Please ask this kinds of questions in the general area, this has very few to do with development and we should keep this as a productive space.
In theory you could push the contacts apk, I read somewhere in this forum that someone did that.

First post here! Yipee! And a couple of questions on removal of a few apps.

I will start by sayign I checked over the first 5 pages of the forum and used the search feature on the site but could still not find the answer I was looking for.
2nd I have OCD And I really want to clear out as much of the preinstalled crap that came on the phone that I don't use. I have already gotten rid of about 10 items and the phone is still running fine but I am unsure of how to tackle the rest.
Can I...
1) Get rid of friendstream and still have facebook sync working after mainly for syncing my facebook phone contacs? (I would/could disable my facebook sync account before the uninstall and add it back after but will this work?)
2) If I remove footprints can I also remove the CAR PANEL app? I (probably like most here) only use maps but have not seen anyone mention the removal of car panel. Also what would the command line be? /system/bin/rm /system/app/CarPanel.apk ???
3) Final question if I remove the voice dialer would that have any impact on any other services?
Thanks in advance guys.

Well, I'll put you on the right path, but you'll have to find your own way. You need root to remove system apps, which are stored in /system/apps/ I believe. You will need to research where such apps are stored, and how to root your phone. I recommend looking at the subforum specific to your phone.
^^^ I have the Incredible phone and I am on the General Incredible forums. Also I am rooted otherwise how would I already removed a bunch of apps? (Which I stated in the original post)
I am just asking about these 3 apps in particular.
This is like the most unhelpful forum I have ever been to.

I don't think anyone really knows the answer to your three questions. Why don't you just make a nandroid backup then experiment? Post your results here when your done so others can learn from it.

Next time learn-2-read instead of posting out of your ass! I mean what kind of response is "Well, I'll put you on the right path, but you'll have to find your own way"
What are you Jesus?

Thanks for all the lulz, bro. Although I'll warn you that deleting Footprints can break Facebook syncing. I'm pretty sure there's a "list of apps that are safe to delete" thread in this good forum. Not to be "unhelpful" or anything, Mr. Entitlement.
Yea I tried to remove friendstream and the sync problems start up right after so I just did a Nandroid backup and all is well.
I also tried to remove the car panel app but it wasn't going through.
If anyone else is reading this can someone tell me what the command line might be for that? I was trying all different variations with a capital C & P and nothing was working.

If you do a simple google search, you'll find this forum HERE , and will see that you have to manually tell android to stop the sync for this app
I also found the answer to removing car panel HERE

[APP] Modifying Instagram

**Before I start I want to say sorry if this thread is in the wrong section I thought it was okay because it is modifying but if it is wrong please move it or tell me and I will gladly move it.**
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instagram is a social networking near-must for a young individual who is trying to "Move with the times". But there is a problem -- instagram is not compatible with all devices. Which forces me to stay back in times on my HTC HERO200. For whatever reason it is not compatible with my hero which is quite frustrating. This HTC is running cm7 and on a cdma network. But does anyone know why it won't work? Is there also any way to make this app (and possibly others) compatible with different devices?
Thanks all you developing geniuses on the forums I love you all

Frozen apps keep re-appearing - how to stop?
I have rooted my tab 3 10.1 (P5210) JB 4.2.2. Went well.
Install TB and started to de-bloat, First round was to freeze any app that I did not want or I thought would invade/compromise my privacy (just about everything from samsung and most from google). This seemed to work.
Added my apps from the play store, so far no problem.
However, in order to be able to select my choice for things like - browser, contact editor. etc; I used app manager to reset app defaults {reset all),
The immediate result was that all of the disabled (frozen) apps were reactivated and/or reinstalled.
How can I stop this happening?
