I'm trying to figure out how to remove a specific watch face. Uninstalling the app won't work in this case because it's the wearfaces app, and there are some faces I don't like that came pre-installed with the app.
Does anyone know if there's a location on the phone? If not, how do I access the internal storage of the 360 so I can manually delete faces??
No one know the answer to this? I'm guessing the only way is to adb in thru BT, but I was hoping there was an easier way, like some trick within root explorer, but I haven't figured out a way. =/

I've been wondering the exact same thing. I've written to the developer several times and have not gotten a response.
I also want to get rid of some of those faces from wear faces.com. I don't see any specific identifiable way to delete this and it's driving me nuts!!
If you uninstall wearfaces it should uninstall those r.kelly faces too, I didn't like wearfaces TBH
Try Facer and search reddit, or just search the play store for "watch face", much more enjoyable way of changing faces than wearface IMO

I was wondering if there is any way to delete the messages app from the phone and run a password protected sms app from the market? I've also thought about an app that would just hide the messages app, password protected of course. I haven't seen anything like this yet though. I have already searched the forums but haven't came up with anything really. I'm not a noob to Android by any means and I'm pretty tech savvy, So I'm open to options. Any help would be appreciated.
I am currently running Ava-FroyoV5 on my Evo. Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks in advance.
If you have NAND unlocked, and I'm pretty sure you do, you should be able to find the messages app in /system/app (I think it should be there) and remove it. There is one problem with that and that is I'm not sure if it could cause system instability. There are some apps you should never remove. I think messages is safe, but not entirely sure.
Also, there are apps that let you password protect apps. I'll try to find one and post back, but they do exist on the market. This is what I recommend.
EDIT: I found two highly rated apps: App Protector and AndLock. AndLock has some neat features, but is paid. App Protector has a Lite and Pro version, so you can try it before you dedicate to buy it. Both seem to be really good, but I haven't tested them. Hope this helps.
with handcent, there is an option under security
Security->security level->protect stock messaging also
and in handcent just make sure you set up a pass or a pattern lock and it should protect both.
Thanks to both of you. I ended up going with app protector. This was exactly what I was looking for and I will end up paying for this app. Thank you again guys.
Just wanted to chime in real quick in case anyone else thinks off removing the stock messaging app. I tried it out, and it broke messaging all together. I would get notifications of messages, butt they wouldn't appear in the threads. Had to reinstall messaging in order for it to work again.
That is all, you may return to your regular programming.

didnt read..so here's this:
Root:
adb devices
adb remount
adb shell
rm system/app/amazonmp3.apk <<-in your case would be replaced with Mms.apk
Then check to make sure:
cd system
cd app
ls
But why remove? just edit Mms.apk till you get it the way you like..I actually like it
ps 11minute time frame difference was due to 4chan..weird stuff out there
anyway..
here's proof
removing the mms.app will most likely kill your messaging all together. Just a warning....
that's what she said

I agree (damn this 10 character post minimum limit)
In November, I purchased several apps. In December, I had to replace my Windows Phone (Samsung Focus). When I synced my replacement device, three of my purchased apps failed to sync. These three apps are:
When I try to repurchase these three apps either from my Windows Phone, or from the Zune software on my laptop, I get a message stating “already purchased” and the “buy” button is un-selectable.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Dave
from the phone, you should merely just be able to search for the app in market place, and redownload it. you shouldn't need to hit buy.

Thanks for your suggestion. I gave this a try. It was difficult because I cannot find a search engine when I go to marketplace on the phone (Samsung Focus). In order to find a specific app, the only way I know of to do this is to scroll through all apps.
I found two of the three apps in question. I found no option to re-download the apps. The only options were “update” or “share”. I clicked on update.
I got a status bar that indicated both downloading and installing, but the apps are not found in my list of applications, even after a soft reset. Now when I go back to the apps in marketplace on my phone, the only option for these apps is “share”.
I really don’t get this.
Thanks again,
Dave
To search in marketplace open up market place and press bing

You are awesome. Thanks a bunch for the lesson. It hasn't solved my problem but it's great to know and has certainly made my search easier.
Thanks Again!!!!!!!!
Update: Using the suggestions from this thread, I was able to resolve my issues.
It's fascinating that 4 calls to Zune customer service over the past 2 weeks were not able to resolve this. The people I spoke with simply did not know their product.
Thanks again for the help guys!
Dave
glad we could help. the search button is useful. app creators need to learn to use it more and provide functions through it so that we get use to using it.
if the app says update when clicking it on the marketplace, means it's already installed....
Hi, i've got a little problem.
I mistakenly deleted an App from another account. This app is no longer available in the Appstore. But i've got it installed on my secondary account. How can i port it back? I know it's still installed, but not accessible for the second account. Any ideas?
That... is probably not easy. Anybody have a better suggestion that re-packaging the .APPX file and sideloading it? That's not a good solution, really, but I can't think of a better one offhand.
No one else got an idea?
I really don't want to sideload it. I thought someone would know what registry keys i would need to do it. I looked around and found a lot in the local user registry. I thought maybe just copy them over to get access to it, or something like that.
You could certainly try that. I'm afraid I don't really know how the modern app launching works, or I'd suggest just trying to create a launcher link right to the app. You can't start them the same way as desktop apps though, even when they have EXE files.

You could try coping the folders over. C:\Program Files\WindowsApps is where they are located. The folder is hidden and you have to take ownership to open.
Copy it over from what? It's another profile on the same computer. All profiles run apps from the same location...
Just wondering if anyone is experiencing the same issue I'm having where some faces on facerepo will not transfer into the app. The latest face is the recent skull one.

I don't know if I'm correct in this, and I'm not sure I know everything there is to know about it, but I assume it's the .zips that aren't working for you? Look what's in it. If there are a few files like a preview.png, some .json files, maybe some font files, then extract that to a folder, and put that folder in /sdcard/Facer on your phone. So you folder structure will be /sdcard/Facer/[whateverfoldername]/[bunchoffiles]. Now look in Facer and see if it sees it. Hopefully, it does.
Again, I'm kinda new to this but apparently Facer used to do this .zip method for faces, then they went to .face files which allowed the import method you use in the app.
Pretty sure it's just a bug in Facer. I have had it fail to properly update many times.
Thanks guys always seems to happen to faces i really like lol
It generally always works in the end, sometimes I have to transfer the face multiple times. And sometimes the watch app crashes. I've had a black screen before but eventually always get the face to display.
Hi guys!
Do you know if its there a way to choose which apps to sync or not with the wearable?
I have many apps that I don't want to have also on the watch, and save memory on it.
I think at the moment it isn't possible, but here are many people with knowledge about it, I'm sure
Thanks!
I think you have to decide for yourself what apps do you want and not want to have on your watch.....

I think I don't explained well.... I have some apps that are also compatible with wear. But it ist just for wear. I.E. Amazon app: I just use it on my phone, and don't want to get wear features, so I don't want it to be synced with watch. (Obviously neither want to uninstall Amazon on my phone)
Oh: so you want to delete it from your watch
Check these links:

There is a option in android wear to block programs.
I totally get what the OP is talking about. For instance I have Office Pro, and they added support for Android Wear so now it loads to my watch and I have no reason nor do I want it on my watch.
Unless you root the watch, I do not believe there is any way to stop this. The block in the Wear app is simply, at this time, to block notifications from an app.
This is a potential issue and I believe Android will need to address this soon, if said app maker decides to add Wear in their app, they may or may not even test it, so if there is incorrect application and the Wear addition begins query to the phone, with nothing to find, it could end up killing battery life. Another situation that will eventually come up is limited memory on the watch compared to how many apps on the phone that have Wear included. These are even beyond the idea, that the end user doesn't want, said Wear app, to load.
For both reasons, I believe they "Android Wear" needs to add in the Wear app another section that controls apps loading to watch.
about the links above,
The adb method is cumbersome and if you should restart your watch I wonder if the app would just reload?
The app Wear App Manager looks good but should basically be implemented in Android Wear.
Yes that is the point !
In the app I mentioned (Amazon), it loads a little shortcut on wear, and when you run it, promts for permission, and if you don't get that permissions, so it ask you if you want to delete the app from wear.
This is a good improvement, but just implemented by the app developer.
The Wear App Manager is a bit misleading in that if you want to remove an app from your watch, it will also remove the app from your phone as well.
I agree with previous post that Google needs to provide some control mechanism to give us a say in whether an android app with a Wear component can get installed on the watch. Heck, if every app I have on my phone had a Wear addition, my watch would be overwhelmed in no time.
