if your rooted use rootexplore and remove it lol

You would need to be rooted to uninstall qik. Then you should use Titanium Backup to uninstall it.

Oh yea it is a system app. I forgot it was bloatware. Learn the adb commands don't use titanium knowledge is power!

use titanium, you dont have to know anything....

OK.. I tried installing Titanium and it doesn't let me.. I AM ROOTED but I don't have any roms loaded, just a stock rooted phone..
All help is appreciated!

If you are sure you are rooted its simple get root explorer and go to system then app folder scroll down to the qik apk and then hit the R/O button at the the top to give you permission to delete files and then highlight and delete it.
Now this will only work if your phone is rooted... double check that since your Titanium method did not work...

Now.. Do I just press and hold to bring up the menu and then hit DELETE ???
or is there an actual uninstall portion to this?
Also.. Another question.. Should I remove "ASTRO" and use root explorer as my file manager?

root explorer you can do more but just different views and I believe Astro has a few good features in it... I do not use it myself but you can get rid of it if you like.... check out the features list for Astro

As a newbie, I downloaded EVERYTHING, lol, and now starting to get serious with the phone and cleaning things up.. (as I am sure like everyone)
I downloaded so many different apps, but keeping the ones I know I will use

fyi - this forum has the answer to damn near everything and before you post anything and these guys go crazy just look it up to the best of your knowledge... There is also a list in here of apps safe to remove incase you want to remove more crap. I advise you to do a nandroid of your current rom before you starting playing around with your phone though... Good luck and welcome aboard...

LOL, is a nandroid a different term then "backup"
If not, please explain as it seems everyone uses different lingo, yet its just to make people that are new to this (ME) confused
and I'm coming from windows, where we call "ROMS" .. "Kitchens"

Yes it is but its done on the phone and not with outside software. Hey I am coming from a Diamond and a Touch Pro so I know but this forum has it all. I was here and PPCGeeks... if you are unsure of anything just google it with xda an the end and it normally finds you help here... google how to do a nandroid xda... see what happens..
Yea please backup/nandroid whatever you want to call it and then mess with your phone.... so if you mess up you can nandroid back to when it was working... do this before you make any changes to your phone.. IMO

Re-installing sprint apps

Hey,
I rooted my phone to Quantum and I am loving it. Just one problem though, I needed navigation tonight and it epicly failed on me. Epic right? (puns )
In all seriousness I wana reinstall the sprint gps from 2.1.1 because that worked for me and didnt give me false directions or act weird and not give me anything thats turn by turn...
Someone please help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Josh

If you look in The Epic Experience ROM's OP, there should be an add-on where you could flash a .zip of all the Sprint apps.

Im not much of a noob when it comes to technology but that managed to make my head hurt more.
So correct me if Im wrong, I go to Epic Experience ROM's OP (not at all sure that is) and I can get all the sprint apps (which I only want one of o-o)
Im just looking for a gps or nav. The whole reason I got Quantum was to ditch the sprint garbage and get 2.2 but, I need a working nav and sprint has been the only one so far. The navigation on quantum fails because it cant sync or give real time turn by turn directions. So Im looking for the sprint installation of it.
I have no idea where to start (and everything I searched was useless)

You said you're on Quantum ROM in the original post, so I went to the Quantum thread and on the first post is this link: DK28 Sprint Apps
Source: Quantum ROM thread
Since all the Sprint apps are zipped up, you can probably just pick out the Sprint Navigation apk file and install that one by itself.

What he said. Just extract the .zip and look for the Sprint Navigation apk
I believe its called SN28-1100-sprint-signed.apk
Just copy that file and move it to the system/app section using root explorer on your phone.
Edit: just tried it. You dont need to move it. Just install it regulsrly

Since you're installing a lone .apk file from that zip file. You need to enable non-Market application installations. Settings > Applications > Check "Unknown sources"
Then using your phone's file explorer, stock is "My Files", navigate to where you placed the .apk file on your SD card and launch it. It should start the installation process.

Syndicate Rom Crash and Question

I found I can get the whole phone to freeze with syndicate rom if I use this website. http://www.webmd.com/diet/calc-bmi-plus Trying to figure out BMI. If I enter the data and and spend at least 2 minutes on the site phone will lock on that screen can't get out must pull battery. Maybe this can help find the mysterious freezing.

I'll give you the apk later

BuddiesNow works only on TouchWiz, not LauncherPro. TouchWiz is in Fully Loaded.
Freezes are solved by flashing the kernel in the second post, or VisionKernel. Use VisionKernel 1.1 for right now.

Yep
As previously stated I installed the full version, it has touchwiz it doesn't have buddies now. If it does I can't find it, tell me how to bring it up.

[Q] can anyone help?

Ok guys heres the deal. I have a droid inc. i rooted it couple months ago and ill never look back. i have got pretty good at installing roms. however when it come to "flashing" custom mods and themes im lost. i am trying to put a black themed market on my phone. i have downloaded several zip files that say they have it. i know all about astro and all that. i have tried renaming it update.zip and installing it through clockwork. and i have read forums that have talked about removing certain files for it to work. i have put certain roms on my phone just because of the themes for them that contain the "black market" but cant get them to work either. both using clockwork and metamoph. it always says missing or corrupt file. I hope that there is someone out there that is willing to spend lil time with me to get this figured out. thanx guys. btw i am currently on Remption revolution rom but have many others.

I know that one thing you need to figure out is when the ROM was built did he build it with drawable-hdpi named drawable-hdpi-v4 or just drawable-hdpi ? you can check by unzipping the framework-res.apk. I have noticed that if the rom does not have the drawable-hdpi-v4 and the Vending.apk does then it will not install. I have had to decompile the market that I like and recompile it to remove the -v4 for the SR 4.1 Rom. What market are you wanting? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042506 is a nice black market.

ok im not quite sure what ya mean. i checked the link ya sent. heres one for ya. when it says 3.Ensure that you have deleted every trace of the market from data/app.
where do i find that? i appreciate your help

Get root explorer a very good app. Then go into data/app and see if you have the vending in there. If you do then delete it. I will download your ROM and check the directory name. Also check out this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957331 there is a nice black on there.

Ok I just checked your ROM and it does have the -v4 at the end of it so the last link I just posted pick the black marketplace and flash it and it should work.

ok cool.trying it now. will be back in couple min. thanx for all your help so far. let me ask ya....when u say flash it what ya mean? rename it to update and apply update in clockwork? or just mount it to card and install from sd in clockwork?

Just copy it to your SD card and install it via CWM or Rom Manager.

i just tried installing it right through clockwork and it said it installed but no black market. gonna try the second method of deleting the vending and updater files.

it wont let me delete the right file w file explorer or astro. do they have to pro versions to do that? is there a way to get to them via the computer? cant find em

Well I bet the issue is...when you installed the ROM it did not have 2.3.6 of the market so it did a update...I had that same problem and followed all the instructions to get it replaced and it did not work. I ended up reinstalling the ROM then flashing the new marketplace imediatly to fix it.

You could replace the vending.apk from the ROM and replace is with the market you downloaded and then reflash the ROM.

ok cool im gonna try that now

does it matter that it is a zip file and not a apk file?

where do i find the vending file? cant find it in the rom

i cant believe this is so hard. lol

Use winrar and right click on the zip file select open with and then select winrar. Click on the system/app then you will see vending.apk then goto the new vending and drag and drop it into the winrar window and select yes it will overright the one that is there now. You must unzip the new marketplace until you have the vending.apk file. Do not add the .zip into the ROM.

Ok when you use root explorer, you need to click the box at the very top that says "mount r/w". Otherwise it is a read only file. The file you are looking to delete can be found by navigating through the following folders. system, then app.
To flash a black or other color market, usually you must first flash a stock market.zip through clockwork. Then reboot the phone, and open the market once to make sure it flashed correctly. Reboot into clockwork again, and flash you black market zip. Start your phone again and check to see that you have the correct market that you want.
If you have any problems with these instructions let me know and I can explain in more detail or step by step.

Ok so download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10654714/Redemptive_rEVOlution_2.3_Final.zip I changed the vending.apk to the black market from one of the links I gave you. Reflash this like you were a brand new ROM. See if that fixes it.

thanks for all the help guys. i reall appreciate it. im gonna try both ways now. will get back in couple min. its cool to have people here willing to help dumbasses like me. lol thanx again.

awesome it worked. kinda get how you did it. couple more questions if ya dont mind. 1. i really like the rom "gingerbread-inc-deck-1.2x" cant remember where i got it. so i tried to find the vending file in it and its not there? any ideas? i found the right folder but nothing. think u be willing to help? 2. how do i go about putting custom notification bars on? u know with the cool battery and signal icons. any links to any of them? i know ur prolly a busy person so any help u can give and have gave me is very appreciated.

i used the command navigate to (Location)

i believe the alarm part does not work cause it depends on the clock from gs3

you should try the modded apk then cause not having any of those issues with that apk.

but u have to force install that apk file by coping it to system and changing permissions
that is to hard for some people

Es file explorer, super manager are easy to use not hard at all

if you want to post the file link to the other apk and detailed instructions i will add it to op

is the link in the OP the modded apk?

no

Hahaha couldn't help but laugh. Playya is right OPs are not responsible for what happens to your phone.

Should I revert back to the old build.prop before flashing a different rom?
Edit: So I did some reading and figured it out. Sometimes it's better to look for the answer on ur own. Ignorance is not bliss!
