[Q] Preinstalled apps

Since you can't sort apps with the stock sense launcher, I'm wondering for a list of which apps are absolute safe to uninstall (Stocks, More info, Twitter, Setup etc.).
This is cause I'm of sick of having to scroll through a long list of useless things to find what I want.
I tried uninstalling these apps but ran into FC issues.
I tried searching the forum for something similar and found nothing, does noone else find this anoying?
Thanks all!

the truth is that i do not manage to understand for what you look...
If that i know that we can´t classify the app of the launcher by files thing that is soo troublesome ...
Then.. Do you want a list of the apk that come for default in an official ruu?

Which of these apps can I safely remove because I don't want them and are only cluttering my app drawer.
The issue is that some of them are apperently needed and cause "Force Close" issue when removed.
Thanks

there are things.. like peep.apk that you can´t uninstall from the aplications admin. of android because are original apk´s of official ruu,, but you can try to uninstall using "rom-cleaner"
another think you can´t uninstall only one think of google maps.apk.. or uninstall completly or you are going to have problems later if you uninstall one by one...
there´s no problem if you uninstall youtube.apk, LOL

I've got root, so I can uninstall everything directly from phone.
I'm looking for something more like a list of things possible to uninstall without issues (for example uninstalling all this causes the market to not work properly and i've heard that uninstalling twitter causes a FC issue).
Yes, I know that I can uninstall Youtube , I just tried to clarify what I want

[Q] Can't update downloaded apps

hi to all.
I noticed a problem yesterday, i can't update my apps. It says "update" and when i press on it, it downloads, and after 1second "installing" it says : Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card :S. And after that the same app doesn't have "update" status - it says "free" although i have that app on my Desire. And if i download again - it says the same, couldn't install. But i CAN install other apps, that i don't have on my phone. Can somebody help me. i'm running stock 2.2 - not rooted.

Try "Clear Data" and Cache for the market. That may work

Clear data clears all, cache included.
Try clearing Download manager data too.

doesn't help either

Then it is probable Google related in regard to your region. Few weeks ago half of my apps were missing from my apps list so I had to use market enabler to update my apps. This week it started working normal as usual. Wait for a few days, maybe it comes to its senses.

i thought the same

I had exactly the same problem last night and this morning, I wiped all caches including the Dalvik.
It now seems to be working! Rooted with CM7
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

so... i found some solution. ex: Google googles can't update. If i move it to internal and update it's ok. I moved it again on sd and the new version (1.5.2) again doesn't update. i must again move it to internal. it's stupid to do this all the time. I formated the sd card - again the same. what can be the cause? and the cure ? tnx
edit|
found solution online if someone need it :
The solution? Go and delete smdl2tmp1.asec yourself. From what I can tell, it could reside in 2 locations:
/sdcard/.android_secure – this is an invisible folder on your SD card, which you can access with any file manager, like ASTRO
/mnt/secure/asec/ – access to this folder requires root and a program like Root Explore

Ive had that issue in the past and deleting the file helped the first time. HOWEVER, I've encountered this problem again recently, and this fix no longer works. Anyone has another fix?
Froyo, no root, stock rom.

[Q] Old apps can't be updated after flashing to CM7

so I'm currently in 110729 Nightly Jordan. Current;y using the new market, the 3.0 version (forgot the 3 numbers behind it).
When flashing before, I did a wipe data and wipe cache action, and then recovers all the apps , and when I see at the market, the list of all my downloaded application is there.
But now, since the new market, the links/list of the downloaded apps won't show.
something that I tried:
1 . installed a random app, still not showing any of the old apps.
2 . as I used titanium backup to recover the apps, I tried using the Market Doctor which is provided inside it. I used it, and a notification said "Market Doctor has found no recoverable Market Links" , but I used this app to recover all the apps -_-
so, are there any solutions to fix these stuffs, guys? thanks for your help

bump for more inputs

Try and clear data and cache for market in Settings/Aplications/Manage Applications, if this doesnt help, revert to the old market, till the new one is fixed.

Not sure if this will help, but it's worth a try if you're stuck.

Mind describing how you removed? Frozen/Removed totally?
I'm using TB to freeze all the bloat-ware and unfreeze if required for some function. FYI.

Same thing happens to me. Using 4.0.2.A.0.42 Singapore Generic. When i remove the extra apps like AppXTra, McAfee, WhatsApp by making the icons start bouncing around using the bottom left button in apps list, or in settings > applications > manage applications, they always come back on the next reboot somehow.

What do you mean by making them bounce?
Are you uninstalling them?

Yes I uninstalled them like that and it didn't work. I used root explorer to delete the files and it also doesn't work. Not sure where these apps are coming from after being uninstalled. I updated via SEUS if it helps matters.

i got one app that came after i did..
back up LIVEware manager and uninstalled the next day i saw it again
but the other stuff theyre all gone..

Check my singature for the tutorial on how to remove them, if you do it like that they won't come back.

Erm I followed exactly..still comes back after reboot.

I rebooted mine at least 3 times on .42 and they never came back.
Really strange

They sit in /system/etc/product/applications/. Simply use Root Explorer (or any other root-enabled file manager) to delete them.
The usual bloat sits in /system/app/ but these ones are quite different.

I used the Generic Germany version via flashtool and this did not happen, but when I downgraded it for another reason and upgraded via SEUS to Generic Singapore, this problem happened. Does not seem to affect other versions thus far.

I think it's a Singapore firmware issue. I just flashed to 4.0.2.A.0.42 Singapore Generic and had the same issue with some bloatwares (e.g. Foursquare and UEFA apps) that I uninstalled using Titanium Backup. I had no such issues when I was on 4.0.1.A.0.283 Global Generic.
Edit: The "stubborn" apps I've identified thus far are Foursquare, Foursquare for Timescape, appXtra, Xperia Hot Shots and UEFA.com app. Tried uninstalling via 3rd party uninstallers but to no avail. Other bloatwares like Let's Golf and OfficeSuite are ok (i.e. remains uninstalled).

Previously, I had the same issue of the bloatwares coming back after upgrading from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 Singapore generic rom. What i did was to repair it using SEUS which will wipe out the phone data. After that, simply uninstall those bloatwares using the normal method and perform a reboot to confirm they are gone before proceed to root.

I have no problem removing those system apps by moving them to the SDCard, apps like Data Monitor or Data Switch and after many reboots, they never come back.
Guess you need to remove them from the System/app folder.

Have you tried removing them from /system/etc/product/applications/ location? (From one of the previous post)
I found 4 apps sit there, but interestingly I didn't get them installed back when I uninstalled them via TB !! With same Singapore Firmware!! (Just as a precaution, I removed them from the above said location).

I found only 4 apks hiding in the /system/etc/product/applications/ folder, 2 x UEFA apps, McAfee and Xperia Hot Shots. Removed them from the folder using Root Explorer, rebooted and true enough, those apps are no longer "re-installed".
But Foursquare, Foursquare for Timescape and appXtra are still being automatically reinstalled after the reboot. I searched and found the apks located in the /data/app folder. Removed them using Root Explorer, rebooted but the apps are still automatically "re-installed" after that.
Searched the /system/app folder but the apks were not there. Any idea where else the apks for Foursquare, Foursquare for Timescape and appXtra might be hiding?

Like I mentioned it doesn't happen to me!! None of them reappeared for me and just as a precaution I removed from the above said location.

I'm having problems with these too. I can locate the files but Root Explorer cannot change the permissions of the files from 'Read Only', meaning I can't delete them.

Of course it's rooted. The problem was I was missing the r/w toggle at the top left of RE.
Mostly sorted now... Just need rid of a the apps xtra! and other bits of bloat now... Same stage as you now. I'll update if I find the location of these little bastards.

[SOLVED] [Q] Error: Insufficient storage available

[Q] Error: Insufficient storage available
I cannot upgrade or install any app that is biger than 6-7mb.
I had 450mb free, and than i uninstalled several big apps. Now i have 722MB free, but still the same.
I am on stock ROM.

I had this problem on my Miro quite often. I found that clearing the apps data helped sometimes, however it didn't work all the time. Also, are you rooted?

I dint change any such option. I have curently 766mb free storage, and cannot install apps. I don't want to move apps to sd card if i have 766mb free storage on my phone, and the app is about 10-20MB. I doesn't make any sense.

have you tried with Lucky Patcher ?
Just install the app and open it; that made the trick for me !

Thanks!!!! It solved my problem. The reason that i was not able to install "bigger" apps was Lucky Patcher.
The problem first occurred when i couldn't update "bigger" apps, and got the error.
I unistalled them and tried to install them again, but the error remained. For some apps, the "smaller" ones that worked and i could install them again. For the "bigger" it didn't work.
I think that the real reason i got the error where patched apps with Lucky Patcher.
Here is how i solved my problem.
I opened Lucky Patcher, and Lucky Patcher said that there is a newer version. I downloaded it, and installed the new version.
After that i closed Lucky Patcher. Opened Play Store....... ans voilà. No error message on downloading "bigger" apps.
Thanks again for your help!!!!

Further info, when you apply patches with Lucky Patcher, it creates an .odex file for that app. If you remove the app or try to update it , the .odex file will not be deleted and you'll get that error. Another fix would be unpatching the app before installing/updating or manually removing the .odex file Lucky Patcher created for that app...
