How to uninstall an application ? How to add icon of desktop ?

Hi,
I'm french and here in France we don't have Barnes & Nobles.
Last Week, I was in Miami and I bought a Nook Color because I saw on this forum that we can have a "full" android and I wanted a pdf reader and more if possible...
I have root my eReader tody and install some application. I installed some applications to test : how to uninstall them ?
I have an other question : how to add icons of this applications apk on the desktop ?
Think you for your job.

You need a 3rd party launcher such as ADW or LauncherPro to do either of these things. The default nook launcher doesnt support app shortcuts or uninstalling apps.

How do you use launcherpro to uninstall apps?

You need to change your launcher to a 3rd party one. I prefer Zeam. It works the best. Then while in the. App drawer, press and hold the app you want and drag it to either the desktop or the app bar.
To uninstall, you can either use an app such as TitaniumBackup or use RootExplorer to remove the. Apk in /data/app and the dir in /data/data

To uninstall apps using ADB:
First get a list of packages installed on your NC:
Code:
adb shell pm list packages
Figure out what package you want to uninstall from that list. It might be helpful to pipe the output from the above command through some tool to search for you. For example let's say I want to uninstall Raging Thunder 2, I would do this:
Under Linux:
Code:
adb shell pm list packages | grep -i thunder
Under Windows:
Code:
adb shell pm list packages | find /i "thunder"
The output of which is:
Code:
package:com.polarbit.rthunder2lite
So now I know the name of the package. To uninstall that package I would enter the following:
Code:
adb uninstall com.polarbit.rthunder2lite
And that's it. That's how you uninstall an app using adb.
To add icons you need to install an alternative launcher since the stock NookColor launcher doesn't let you do this. I like Zeam. Each launcher will have its own method for then adding icons to the desktop, but typically you tap and hold down on the background and then a menu pops up with the option to add items.

Honeycomb Music Player - Working on ZIO.

Works 100% on the ZIO with a touch of work.
Since you need about 8Mb of space on your system partition, you'll need to move some apps from /system/app onto /data/app in order to fit the lib and apk.
Use root explorer to copy /system/app/Maps.apk to the root of your SDcard, then use root uninstaller to uninstall Maps.
**make sure you enable r/w access in root explorer.
Run "Maps.apk" from root of your sdcard and instal it like normal. This will install it in /data/app and free up about 5Mb of space on /system.
Remember, this is a beta test. More information can be found HERE.
Directions:
1) Download HC-Music to the root of your SDcard
2) Open with winzip/rar/7z and extract a copy of "/lib/libjumper.so" to the root of your SDcard.
3) Use root explorer to back up "Music.apk" in /system/app
3) open shell on your phone from PC (via adb)
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/libjumper.so > /system/lib/libjumper.so
cat /sdcard/HC-Music.apk > /system/app/Music.apk
exit
exit
adb reboot
After you reboot, just open up "Music".
Things you'll notice:
You'll notice "Jumper Test" icon in your drawer. Pretend its not there. Its some debug console for the streaming capabilities of the player (to connect to cloud, itunes, etc...), but the service is not working, and cricket isnt in the list of compatible carriers.
You'll notice "Sync Music" in your sync settings (under menu->settings->accounts n sync). Leave that unchecked.

I'm gonna try this same process for 2.3 mms
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App

Let me know how that goes for ya. interested in a new mms, but I dont want Handcent and I like the way 2.3 mms looks
Tried it with the above method. It took but didn't move the MMS. Put it in the /system/app but didn't move the app itself, just made a folder. So I tried installing it straight from the SD card and it works like a charm! Zio a go go with Gingerbread MMS!!!

Can you please provide the link to the mms.apk file you used to install? I found one on the forums but it won't install straight from the SD card.

We'll start new threads with directions for all new findings

BUGS
i've found some bugs when removing cyon.apk & LGWorld.apk at system folder,the file is deleted but the apps is still listed on the home screen...can anyone verify this? do you also encounter this problem?
SOLVED....
To delete the apps from the app list,(assume u have done deleting the apps from the System folder),go to settings > applications > manage applications.
At the All tab, find remote call and LGworld apps and press it and press uninstall...then restart the phone...now enjoy the phone without the bloatware.
(Cause:when removing the apps from system folder, the file that remove is the stock apps given by LG..What left is the update version of the apps)

If You remove LG Launcher and do factory reset, You will end up with no laucher at all ( as laucher You installed will be wiped out )

Gingerbreak for root, and raiz uninstaller from market, for free, to remove apps.

can i remove the odex files that correspond to the apk file i deleted?

OP, what uninstaller did you use. Some of those apps on the list aren't listed by Root Uninstaller

Thank you very much!

Considering buying this to replace my almost dead Desire, especially since i heard about ICS update. Can i use the Android APK to uninstall the apps? And is it possible to get the stock Android Launcher? I want my phone to be as close to stock Android as i can get it, except for LG features i like. What about the LG e-mail client? i need a exchange app for my work-mail...

How remove the Blotwares STEP by STEP

With the intention of helping all those who have difficulties in removing blotwares even with programs like TITANIUM and others..
Here is a small step by step that I did to remove the blotwares..
STEP - 1
You install the app available in the playstore, called System app remover Https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en_US
1.1)
You need to install the app available in the playstore, called Termux Https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux&hl=en_US
1.2)
grants root access to the 2 apps.
STEP - 2
Perform apk removal With the Termux application open,
you enter as root
-> su (enter as root)
You should now allow to modify the directory system
-> mount -o remount, rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
Now you need to get into the "System app remover" application and pick up the APP directory you want to remove.
-> rm -r [DIRECTORY]
Now you need to return the directory system to read only, 'ro', to prevent malicious activities
-> mount -o remount, ro -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
Restart your phone and you can see that the app is no longer on your device.
NOTE: If you can not go back to read only, after the system reboot you will be able to.
My mobile got much faster and with no crashes after deleting these apps ...
I had difficulty removing blotwares from a rom I downloaded that is available on this link for ZUK Z2 PRO
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/miui-8-version-zuk-z2-pro-t3563578
ALERT: As all androis have the same command system, should work for any device, but be careful not to remove applications essential for system operation. It can cause an infinite loop in system reboot.

If you have a rooted phone, you can just download "ES Datei Explorer", grant root access and remove the folders in /system/app , /system/priv-app , /system/preload of the apps you don´t want. After reboot, you´ll just have to remove the icons from your homescreen.
Make a backup by moving the folders somewhere else. You´ll never know when you need one of these "unnecessery" apps.

Well thought, I'm accustomed to using linux, commands are the same, so it was something that I created in a "homemade" way and decided to share. This app actually displays the root directory, so, it's very good and less difficult, but the app remover can be useful for help you to know what file you need remove..
Thanks for adding the information ..
This is the link what app he's talking about
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
Grants root access and go to directory for remove the file you want.
