I have a question after I rooted my phone. I have moved a few .apk's from the system/app folder to a separate area, and changed their extensions to .bak. My problem is they are still in my app drawer, and apps that are installed after the process explained. I am curious if this is just how it works after I do this process, or if their is some way to get rid of the icons out of the drawer and installed applications after they have been disabled.
(Please move this if needed, I believe it is in the wrong section? Didnt even look when I posted, it was just the area I was in!)
You need to reboot. Cache has to flush.

That didnt work thanks though! Also, its not loading into my ram, so I know it worked to an extent. Anyone else?
It's a lot easier if you just use titanium backup. Its worth the money, you can freeze them, and be done work it all.

Here's a copy of android market 2.2.10. Installed w/o a hitch on my phone, but be patient during install as it takes a minute.
EDIT: Though at first glance this seemed to work fine, some of my app links have gotten messed up from this. Use with caution. I'll try an update.zip version and see if that makes a difference. (No FCs for me and runs fine. No noticeable difference from 2.2.7)
For now, this is in my dropbox at http://db.tt/lWIF1OF

What's new in this one?
Thanks, but for some reason I'm hit with market force closes, even after clearing data and cache
What is different about this version.

Ryno and roman; as noted in OP, no noticeable difference from v2.2.7
Not posted as any major revelation, just here in case someone might want a newer version for newer roms.

Anyone know how to remove the "recent apps" section in the notification menu?
I dont use/want it and its just a big waste of space.
Running GingerX gingerbread sense rom =D.
Thanks ~MM20
Go into /system/customize (using root explorer or something similar) and scroll down untill you find notification_config.txt,
tap it, then menu then open it in a text editor and just delete where it says recent apps, then hit menu - save and close. Then reboot the phone and you're sorted.

you cant remove them. unless you install an external task killer.. which is not recommended.
Let me assure you that its not a waste of space, the apps are dormant after a while anyway...
Re-boot will get rid of all of them.
You can get rid of them if you're rooted.
You have to find the notification.config,txt of whatever rom you're using, and edit it. It's normally in the /data folder. Try searching for it.
That will sort it out

I'm new to the Bionic which I have rooted, but I swear I am constantly reinstalling apps I have already installed. Any ideas?

Go to applications and make sure none are checked in the media area. Its been discussed and your should have searched first.
dan46n2 types faster than I do.
Go to Settings/Applications/Manage applications/media area. If anything is checked go in to them and do move to phone. It should fix your problems. For whatever reason anything installed to media area disappears. If you search you will find several threads about it.

Go to Settings--->Applications--->Manage Applications--->Media Area--->Uncheck any apps with a checkmark---->Move to Phone.
I'm on my phone right now so I can't do what I would have done on a desktop
But if you use that search button up, and to the right you'll find your answer in less time than it took for you to start this thread.
Tldr: everyone has this problem, missing apps are in media storage move them or reinstall then move them.

I see in my GO TaskManager EX some general processes running even though i never launched those processes before.
is it safe to disable or delete some apps like Amazon video or Amazom MP3?
which apps are safe to delete from system/app
I am also looking for this info. I want to de-amazon my kindle but I'm worrying that if I'll delete certain apks than it won't boot anymore. Since image backups aren't easy on this tablet yet, I'm really hesitant to delete anything.
Can someone shed some light. I do apologize for waking up an old thread.
Regards, Bart.

Never delete anything, only change its termination. For example add a .bak termination to the file and reset. Then you allways can revert the move.
Deleting bloat has been a task. Using Titanium Backup to backup and uninstall bloat. Upon restarting the phone, almost everything that was uninstalled magically reappears. Not re-installs, it is just magically back in the app drawer. Its almost like rebooting restores a system backup of some kind. Is there any way to stop this from happening? I am currently using Titanium Backup's "freeze" feature, and it is keeping the bloat at bay, but deleting it would be better because I could use the phone's space for something else.
I guess you are using stock. Try installing this https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Team+Trickster&hl=en
Then reboot after deleting them.

Thats the one I thought it was. I will give it a swing, but it says that it is not compatible with 4.3, and thats what the phone has on it. I'll take a swing though!
