Is there any possible way to remove the alphabetical indexing in the app drawer?

Nope! Other than uninstalling programs so the app count goes below the threshold..

You are wrong men, if you uninstall apps, you will still have the jumplist.. In order to remove it, you have to change the number of apps with an registry editor..
In the RegEdit from phone go to:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Start
DWORD: GroupingThreshold
and set the value to the number of apps you want to have in order to recieve the jumplist.. I have it in 60! XD
After that, reboot phone and no more jumplist till 60 apps

How do we get into RegEdit from the phone. I know how to do it on my computer but I'd never think they'd put it on a phone.

[Q] how to change the default program for some actions?

Hi,
I want to change the defualt program assignment for the Samsung Galaxy. I can't find it on the phone.
I installed Dialer One, and when I missed a few calls, I got a pop up window asking me what program do I want to see the missed calls (Dialer One or the SGS dialer), I chose DIaler one, but for some reason it crashes when I need to check the missed calls.
The thing is I can't find the place to change it back to the regular Android Dialer....
Help, anyone?
Thx,
Roy
Go to settings, applications, manage applications and then select your application in question, under there is a section to clear the defaults. That should do the trick

That means that you haven't set that application as default or there is only one application that can perform the concerned action.. like if you have only one launcher you won't be able to clear its defaults but if you have more than one installed you'll have the option of clearing the defaults.

[Q] Unable to uninstall new attentive phone app

I have a tmous hd7 running 7712. HTC recently put out an attentive phone app that integrates into the settings menu of the hd7. Once the app finishes downloading, it disappears from the app list and a new settings category called attentive phone is created. Is there any way to remove the integrated app once installed? Long pressing the setting does not work.
Why u want to do that?

Personally, I don't use any of the settings in it. The menu gets in the way, takes a bit longer to load than other settings, and feels tacked on. Besides, given that putting your app in the settings menu merely requires modifying the hubtype in WMAppManifest.xml, developers or carriers could concievably write crapware apps that are unable to be uninstalled. We should at least have the freedom to uninstall the application

If you don't use it then why did you install it to begin with? lol. Also, its completely out of way, being in the settings menu. By far a better implementation that having it clog up the app list.
There is no official way to remove it. It needs to installed again, but without the modified hubtype, so that it'll appear in the regular app list by which it can then be uninstalled normally.
forget me, im an idiot
How does it slow down ur system? I don't get it, works fine for me.... This is reserved API, you cant use it to put apps in the menus, its only for oem. Get over it or do hard reset.

I need to uninstall it because I've installed it twice
There are 2 HTC Attentive Phone in my Setting now
I have the same problem. It shows up twice in settings. It happened for me when an update for attentive phone came through marketplace. I updated and next think know, I have two links in settings.
This is the old one which published by HTC

Cheers guys, just bumping this so that others with the same issue can find it quickly

app locks without lockscreen

My three year old nephew loves to play games on my phone which i don't mind. It just he sometimes exits the game by mistake trying to get back in and in the process sometimes launches different apps or send a sms or makes a call.
Is there an app in the Mark.. errr Play Store that i can install and PIN lock certain apps like Dailer/SMS?
I want him to be able to go in and launch whatever game he wants or watch movies that are preloaded for him but just not use apps like the dialer.
Anyone know of an app like this?
There is toddler lock which is nice and works but it only worked when he was like 2.

Thanks, didn't like the above app lockers. I hate having things in the notification bar and tried at least 10 other free apps and the best of the bunch was Smart App Protector.
This is prefect I can install this on my parents phones as well and lock them out of Titanium Backup and SuperUser and Root Explorer. They have went in and deleted the wrong thing by mistake before, so i always created a back up of root explorer and uninstalled TB and whenever i needed it i would install from market which was a pain this is prefect.
For my boys I use Pinnacle Locker (free from the market), it can lock apps, calls, sms, settings, pretty much everything you want. I made presets for each and they can only use their own apps.

Just make sure you set security to maximum and I don't use livelyness detection
And make sure you do the face training under different light and angles

Kid Launcher in the market is made just for this. I use it everyday. It is a home screen replacement so you can just add the apps you want them to use. It needs a password to exit. I highly recommend it.

No,
do u know how ?
These apps open and suspend until you use them. So in fact it's better because they are ready to go. Otherwise you have to use system resources to load them up every time. I know I suck at explaining it but it's true. Perhaps someone more savvy can find better words.

While krsmqn is correct, there is also Greenify.

true, changing min free values work very well, to kill them faster, but, using a task killer reset apps, using an hinbernation app sleep them, it kill them and put them to "sleep"
in my tweaks, for example, i use minfree to set the minium free memory for each group of apps, so there will be more free ram and more speed

"Unfortunately Moble Market Has Stopped"

What the heck, I am so sick of this disrupting me 4 times a day!
Do I have this because I used moborobo to transfer my stuff?
No one else but me is dealing with this, 4-5 times per day? No one else?

Apparently so!
I'm not sure how to help but let me try.
What's the phone doing when you get these errors?
Have you changed the dpi to the app or your phone?
Do you have a logcat file of when this event occurs?
Some things you can try are wiping data and cache of the app. Try removing your account off your device, and re adding your account again. This cleared up some errors for me before.

What IS mobomarket?
Did it come stock on my phone or was it synched from my pc after I downloaded moborobo to transfer my data?
It didn't come with the phone. It's a third party app. Feel free to remove it.

That takes care of auto updating, what about auto synching? (I didn't "update" any of the mobo stuff, it was synched)
Goto system settings then accounts and sync
