The font on the widget is almost hanging off and the info screen is zoomed in and half the battery and info is cut off. Anyone else noticed that?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
yes i noticed that and tried some other battery widgets on the market. They all suck and eat up battery faster than they refresh themselves
Its still usable, it just looks weird.
Yeah it is but would be nice if we could actually download it but it wont work on custom roms
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
First type
adb remount
adb shell
cd /data/app/
rm com.htc.rosiewidgets.battery.apk
cd /system/app/
rm com.htc.rosiewidgets.battery.apk
I'm having you do it in both data and system because I can't remember where flipzmode put it, and I don't have the rom on had to see.
then go here

Cheers.
worked like a charm, thanks
I'm trying to save memory on my Hero (I have this ROM), and removing these widgets would be a great way. If I follow your method to remove the widgets, will that break anything if I don't then reinstall them?
No. Removing widgets hardly ever messes anything up because most widgets aren't system-crucial apps.

there is also a facebook icon in the main menu. how do i delete this facebook? i cant seem to find it in the app list...
I won't be able to get to my computer till tomorrow. I will look it up then if no one else has answered your question.
For Facebook you should be able to delete it from adb and it won't appear when you boot it back up

That would be great if you could get me the names of those or how to delete them. I really appreciate it. I cant seem to find how to delete any of them via adb...i really want them gone, especially facebook.
Thank you!
i have since deleted the pdf viewer...
They are system apps so easiest way is to use adb on computer.. type this in command prompt
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
It will display all apps on the phone other then market downloaded ones. To remove type this.
rm NameOfApp.apk
Im guessing you can figure what app is what now. They are simply labeled. And remember, its caps sensitive.

I dont see the names of the apps I want to remove.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I believe the Facebook apk is located in system/app (maybe wrong though I can't remember where I deleted mine from)
I think there was htcfacebook.apk and com.facebook.katana.apk
The Google nav has been elusive so far but from what I am seeing it looks to be included in the Google maps app. I can't find a specific file to get rid of it. If anyone else could verify that it would much appreciated.

PDFViewer.apk = PDF viewer
Are you sure you want to remove the blue arrow one? That's google maps navigation... sorry, I don't know that one.
BTW someone made a great post of a list of almost all stock HTC apks which I keep bookmarked for reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6790062&postcount=203
Thank you.
I do use google maps for nav. I just want the 'blue arrowed' navigator off the main menu.

I didnt see it in the list when i typed ls. Im running stock rooted. When i go to the market, facebook is listed 'installed' and will only allow me to uninstall updates. Some things dont work when i run fresh2.1.2. Some things dont show in the market, updates dont work although i didnt push odadm. Suggestions?
Hows the evo? I was ready to buy one today...couldnt find it. Wouldve been impulse anyway...

If you remove the Navigator apk I'm pretty sure you won't be able to use the google navigator turn by turn directions-style navigation. Google maps will work, but not navigation. I don't think you can remove just the icon from the apps drawer if that's what you mean.
One way I uninstall apps if I don't want to use adb is to install titanium backup and uninstall from there. Just go to the backup/restore tab, tap on the app and it should give you the option to uninstall.hope this helps!

Can somebody please help me take this app out of my phone... its the default app.. i want to use one from the market.....
Assuming you are rooted and have Android sdk on your computer you need to do this in the command prompt......
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/xxxxxx.apk
HTC also has the messaging widget which you can remove.
To see all the apps do this in the command window....
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
Then just replace xxxxxx with the app you want to remove. I'm on my phone so I can't tell you off hand what the name is.

I was under the impression that you shouldn't remove the stock messaging app because regardless what program you use it needs the mms framework from the messaging app to function. You can turn off all notification for the stock messaging app so that it doesn't pop up for texts though.
I'd be sure to do a nand backup before removing this.

I do believe he is right
If ur removing mms ur correct. If ur talking am the IM apk then that can be removed. If u want to use a text message app from the market u have to leave the mms app on the phone. Just go the settings and turn off auto retrieve and notifications. All the text message apps use the mms to send messages. Hope that helps

I used SU File Manager and mounted the system folder as read and write then went into system/apps/ and deleted MMS.apk. This removed the entire Messaging App from my Hero and I only use Handcent now and haven't had any issues.
or from your computer's terminal you could do:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/mms.apk
When 90% of people, including a dev tell you no, you should listen.
yea except from experience I know that this can be done with no issues. So, until you have tried something yourself how about you not respond?
Heard of that saying "don't fix what's not broke", well I think that's just as valid in reverse, "don't break what actually works".
OK OK OK... you are right.. don't fix whats not broken.... that is a golden rule... but then again what do you call everything everyone is doing to there phone... Anyways thank you all for your help.... xda and everyone involved rocks.....

I tried widget locker and liked the way it looked, but you have to manually start the app every time you turn the phone on. I don't really care about all of the slide mods, but I would like to change the clock, font, etc. Is there a setting in Cyanogen that I'm missing? Any other app suggestions?
Has anyone ever tried this method for changing the clock font?
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/e1q7j/i_got_rid_of_that_stupid_lockscreen_clock_font/
Basically requires using Terminal to paste a new font over the existing font. I've never used Terminal and I don't have any experience in Linux. The program that someone mentions there (Type Fresh) has lots of bad comments on Appbrain about causing crashes and bootloops, so I think I'll stay away from that one.
are you looking to modify your system lockscreen or trying to find a replacement app (widgetlocker)?
for your widget locker problem, select start at boot and disable the 5 sec. rule.

If you don't want to use terminal, I'm pretty sure you can use ninjamorph which might be a little easier. As for widgetlocker, I'd say just do what kevina said. I've been using for the past week or so and it's been smooth and quick for me.
You could use tasker to autostart widget locker.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Ninjamorph doesn't work for this, nor did root explorer. I tried type fresh multiple times and it didn't work. After trying everything except using the terminal, I just changed the fonts in the rom's zip and reflashed it.
Thanks for the tips guys.. I reinstalled Widget Locker and I'm playing around with it again. I don't like how it takes over the Home button, but other than that it seems to be working pretty well.
Newest cm6.1 rc2 nightly has gestures and added support for phone and sms sliders on the lock screen. I can quickly access facebook, camera, sms, and phone without first unlocking the phone - I love it!
Which nightly are you on and does it seem pretty stable? I do have that same functionality you are talking about with Widget Locker... but if I can have it through the OS, I'll just use that.
I just got Widget Locker the other day. I love it!
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Also make sure widgetlocker is installed on your phone and not the sd.

In an attempt to troubleshoot severe lag problems I stupidly uninstalled LauncherPro on my Captivate with Cognition 3.04 and now I can't get to my home screen (just goes to black screen when I click Home button). What is the easiest way to fix this?
Thanks
can you get to the market? just find "home switcher for froyo" on the market and change it to the default launcher.
No. I can't get to any apps. I can only get to Emergency Call. I can see the top menu but with Tasker and JuiceDefender running but I can't do anything.
I think you can use adb to push a launcher to the /system/app directory
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
This actually happened to me I adifferent rom. I was able to fix it through a reboot because in had another launcher installed. if you don't I would recommend a reflash

Agreed. Stupid mistake, cut your losses and reflash. Doesn't take very long.
Yeah, that's what I did. Reflashed Cog 3.04. Thanks.
For Cog 3.04, Launcher Pro is the default launcher, so uninstalling it without first having another launcher will end up breaking the ROM. Always make sure to have more than one launcher when uninstalling them. Other than a reflash, you can also use adb push on a computer to push the apk back to the system folder, but I don't know if it needs to be registered anywhere else.
You can side load it too from your PC.

Ok... my phone is dead..ish... I dropped water on it... tried to dry it out and now the USB isn't recognized and the backlight on the screen is dead. I can still barely make out the white images on the phone. Here's my question, is there anyway to make a nandroid and get it off the phone (email, ftp, ect..) automatically? I can probably see enough to install an apk... but not set it up. I am connected to my wifi router so I can see the device that way... but that's it.
HELP!

Their are ways to make a nandroid back up without turning your phone off then using a file manager to find the file and upload it to Google drive or drop box.. But I don't know how much you are able to do

It's slightly more complicated than that. I can't see the background at all in TWRP because it's dark. I can barely make out the HTC clock on my home screen. I tried to get into ES file manager and turn on ftp but the settings screen is also too dark. Think of seeing your phone in direct sunlight on the lowest brightness. That's what my screen looks like.

Alright... I've got it working.... I was going through the ADB commands and I can't find anyway to list the contents of the sdcard. So say if I only wanted to pick and choose which folder to pull. In command prompt it is usually the "dir" command, is there an adb equivalent?
