I just got my Hero yesterday and it came with 1.5 while activting they told me to update to 2.1 and call back which I did, but how do I remove applications. How do I remove applications like Footprints, Mp3 Store (Amazon), Peep, Nascar, Etc?
Also does anyone know how to at least hide applications from All Programs? On my BB I could hide them is this possible on Hero?
Thanks for your help and I did search uninstall applications and remove applications, as I am sure someone asked it, but I couldn't find any results so please don't flame me if a post on this exists.
You can't until you get Root, you need read/write permissons on the /system/ partition to remove those...sorry.
Ok thanks for help
I was having a problem with social hub so I deleted it and thought I could reinstall through the update. The problem is the update social ub is not the same as the origional . I thought I could do a factory reset to get it back but, it didn't come back. does anyone know how I can add the file, and where to get it ?
thank you .
I believe UnifiedInbox.apk is the file you need. Here it is.

Thank you.
I downloaded the file and it asked to install I clicked yes it starts to install then says can't install. Jaut want to make sureit is the right file. I have the samsung email but, I want the social hub back.
Thanks again.
How did you delete the Social Hub? I am using Gmail and facebook as separate apps so I don't need Social Hub!

You need to push the apk to /system/app rather than installing it. Use adb or root explorer.
You can uninstall by deleting the apk from the same folder, or by using something like Titanium backup. All these things require root
I have a Samsung Galaxy tablet 7'' and I installed Application Protection. Well I forgot the password and now I can't access any of the settings or most of the apps. I really don't want to hard reset it because I have alot of stuff that I will loose that is not on the sd card. I have used adb before on my droid x but unfortunately usb debugging is not enabled on my tab to access it. I can't enable it in the os. The only unrestricted access I have to my knowledge is the recovery console, which allows me to factory reset(last resort) or update.zip. I have been playing with an update.zip creator script and was wondering is there a way to enable usb debugging with an update.zip or more likely remove the application protection app with an update.zip.
Is it possible to delete this app with an update.zip. I believe this app is stored in data/app/com.ruimaninfo.approtect-1.apk
I would appreciate any help...

Can I create an update.zip to remove an app on my phone?

Can you uninstall the app or do you not have access to the Market?
if you are rooted , just go through data and then find your app name , or just search by root explorer with your app name and then after root explorer find it delete it
or if you have the androidSDK and you are not rooted just download the software called QtADB_0.8.0_windows_with_libs
and then use it to brows your files at least to take them all out
Unfortunately I have basically no access on my tab because I lost the password to Application Protection and it has everything restricted. I also don't have root access or I would be able to remove the app very easily. I also can't use adb unless I can figure away to enable usb debugging, but can't access the settings due to Application Protection app. I know exactly where the app is stored on the phone but can't get into the directory because I don't have root access.
The only thing that I can use to my knowledge is update.zip in recovery and again I don't have root so I just have the basic recovery menu. I tried making an update.zip to install an app but couldn't get it to work.
What I really want is to make an update.zip to delete data/app/com.ruimaninfo.approtect-1.apk
It's definately a challenge and I will keep working on a way to remove it.
I did find that I have ANDFTP with unrestricted access that does allow me to delete any files in the system but again doesn't show anything under data/app folder because I don't have root access. Maybe the data for the app is stored elsewhere?
Power and volume up key takes you to recovery. Then you can do a factory reset, which wipes all installed apps and user data.
Thanks, but I know how to do a factory reset. I am trying to fix this without loosing everything.

Can you use adb to make your back up? Then reset?

Woww...you guys blown my mind away. Nice, keep up the discussion and I would like to know more from those genius people here
why you don't ask the dev of the app ? sure he got (secret password)
or just download the software i mentioned above and you'll solve it in seconds
here is what i found
Keep your private app/data in secure before allow other people use your phone
Application Protection help to protect applications and data in case other people or child get your phone to:
* install some app or malware you don't want to
* see your private info you don't want to share
* change setting of your phone by accident
(Note: lock behavior can be changed in setting to save effort to unlock)
* send email to configured email box after input wrong code 10 times
(IMPORTANT: Default setting is to send email to [email protected] in case of user lost the code. Strongly recommend user to set your email box in setting)
read it , its in the app info
Tried that too but unfortunately didn't set a email either and developer isn't returning any of my emails either.
Update.zip has gotta be my only chance without reseting my phone.

So, did it work? Because I have a similar problem: I'm locket out of a Lifetab from a friend of my brother. The only difference is, I know the password, but the Android keyboard kept force closing, so I disabled it. Then without thinking I rebooted.
Is there a way to enable that app again trough adb, or did you succeed in making an update.zip that resets the password?
My captivate is running CyanogenMod - 7 - 06032011. Few issues until today. After using my phone early this morning, the phone has become inaccessible. My exchange email requires a passcode, and it will not accept my input. I know for a fact that the code is correct--it is the same I have always used, and the same as many other passcodes as well. After much frustration I restored the phone to defaults and attempted to restore device from back-up, hoping it would replace the issue. However, the same issue occurs. Any solutions? Is there any back door into the phone? Also, does anyone know of a way to disable the exchange required passcode?? Thank you!
I found email.apk that disables the security requirement. Now, is there anyway to install that .apk from clockwork? I'd really like to get this phone working, and recover my information. Please help!
If you can allow non market apps just put the apk in your sd card tap the file on your phone and install it

Back up the email.apk using TiBu then delete it using whatever file explorer program you have. After that, restore the email.apk from TiBu.

I know how to install apps. But I cannot get in to the phone bc of the passcode malfunction. I need a way to install the .apk from recovery.
Anybody have a modified EMAIL apk that bypasses Exchange security permissions? This needs to work on the Note4.
Is there an easy way to modify the stock APK to do this?

What do you mean by "bypasses Exchange security permissions"?
If you mean that it doesn't apply ActiveSync settings that are forced by the ActiveSync profile, that is not done via the e-mail client. If you mean "allow me to access a mailbox that I am not allowed to access by permissions on the mailbox", that won't work as those are server-side Active Directory settings, not e-mail client settings.
Its definitely the security password.. and exchange polices wise
I use Enhanced Email to bypass the exchange security.

Those are aosp 4.4.2 email client, ypu need both, and also need to delete the stock email and exchange from system/app.
I believe I signed them so they should work by simply installing.
Make sure u backup the stock files first.
