Is there a way to uninstall/delete the default Task Manager app? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I mean the one from Samsung and preinstalled in Galaxy S.
Thanks!

I would also like to know if this is possible...

you have to modify your framework_res.apk and delete the task-manager button.
you have to search for "job_manager".
after success you can safely delete the taskmanager (via titanium backup) and thats all.
if i find some time i'll give it a try and maybe there will be a guide or so

The only thing you have to do, is putting the .apk to /system/app.
From then on, they can't be uninstalled.
The error could occur for example because system wasn't mounted as rw.
When i only transfer the apk then the App is not seen in the drawer
Is there a other Folder where the informations are saved from the app??

That means with App Installer i can move the apps to the system?? Like the SGS Tool?
Well if you remove samsung player and install android's original you'll have only this player so that's it ...
I just use "adb install application.apk" and it works fine for me...

[Q] Removing Pre-installed Apps

I got my device from AT&T yesterday, and it came with several APPs that I don't want. But I cant find a way to uninstall them. I've tried several Uninstaller programs, but no luck. Any ideas?
If you root your phone, you will have several options.
1) Install Titanium Backup from the market. You can use this to remove apps you don't want.
2) Download the Android SDK. You can use any terminal program to explore the file system and remove unwanted apps.
Be careful what you remove as root, you can make you phone unstable if you remove the wrong programs.
easiest way is to root and un install with titanium backup. . . just delete the AT&t apps and you are good to go.....
Actually, I think the easiest is to search the forum for super rooter extreme. It will root and remove bloatware in one shot.
Actually, found the link for you.

Thanks a lot guys. I have to bring my phone back to AT&T tomorrow since I can't send or receive MMS. I'll try all this once I get it back.

[Q] geniewidget not transparent anymore after reboot

Hey guys,
Downloaded the transparent geniewidget and overwrite/backup the original one in the /system/app folder - using super manager app (rooted with visionary). Did an install and everything works fine..(background is transparent).
However upon phone reboot, background is not transparent anymore..(Had to repeat the process above to get background transparency)..It seems that the original file is automatically reinstalled upon reboot (Can't even find my backup file anymore). What did i do wrong here?
Did you enable root access in super manager?
That's all I can think of.
It's one of the first options in the settings.
I would also suggest that you disable super manager's task killer and power management functions.
You might also try tapping on geniewidget apk once it's in system/app and installing it, even though it should work without installing it that way I think that might sometimes help.

I don't have super manager installed right now, that is one way to disable it's management functions btw (uninstall it)
I used super manager before there was a lite version, so maybe things are a little different now, there were a couple of settings I would turn off related to task killing and there was an app2sd reminder function.
I am really fumbling around in the dark myself so take anything I say with a grain of salt.
You should try putting the geniewidget I made (or the other one in the thread) in /data/app as well as system/app.
Try installing it from there too.
Although I just re-checked, and putting the apk in system/app alone did the job for me.
I've never had the probem exactly the way you describe it but I have run into the problem where I haven't found the correct file to rename and then the new file does nothing. I haven't seen the problem manifest on reboot, it just doesn't work.
Make sure you have found geniewidget or com.geniewidget (I forget the exact name), rename it to xxxapk.bak.
Is it still there after your reboot as xxxapk.bak?

Is it possible?

Can't find bloatware to delete it.

Hey all,
Rooted, 2.2, UGJL2
Got rid of the BMC apps but can't find the .apk file names to delete "Samsung Email" and "Samsung IM"
I can't find them in the /sys/app folder.
any ideas?
cheers
you don't do it like that
use Titanium Backup
that will do it for you just be selecting the app you want to remove
Titanium doesn't see them either.
