Hi everybody. I have flashed some apps on my note, but the icons still remain in the launcher (I Will post a screenshot too. The thing I would like to know from you is: is there any possibility to remove those icons from the launcher, while they are freezed?
P.S. I use SystemAppFreezer to freeze apps.
Press "menu", "edit" and then delete them. It should work.

I tried, but doing that the apps were uninstalled. I remember that on the alternative launchers the icons of freezed apps disappeared till the apps were defreezed. Nothing can be done like that?
Is SystemAppFreezer able to backup apps? If not install Titanium or AntTek App Manager, hit "Backup App", then freeze (or delete). If you freeze you'll end up on the same spot as now, but you can safetly delete the grey icons since the apps are backed up.

thanks for your advice, but i've not a lot of practice in backups. i think that titanium may be better than the other one (in base of the votes on the market) but i'm afraid it would give me other problems. maybe i'll try anttek one
I use Titanium Backup and there isn't any problem coming with it.
I always freeze all my apps with this app because it's very easy and I always backup my Data with that app.
It's very simple and takes about 10 minutes

Ive been adding a deleteing alot of apps since I got my phone. The usual "new toy" deal.
What the best way to actualy delete them. Ive been going through setting>apps>manage>unistall
When I got to the monitor it says my memory is only 23% free. Is this normal, or am I looking at the wrong thing? Is there anyway to install apps on the added microsd card?
Sorry if such a newb question.
Download titanium backup from the market, or uninstaller. Uninstaller gets rid of all apps you've installed and titanium backup can get rid of the other miscellaneous odds and ends.
Sent from my back pocket, using XDA App
hold down the app icon of the app you want to remove and move it down to the little trashcan that pops up but don't let it go wait until it says uninstall and then let it go. this will take you directly to the uninstall screen for the app. no need to install any other apps. hope this helps.
So, as far as your memory percentage goes, don't give it too much worry. I don't recommend any task "killer" apps to solve that though, they aren't good for you phone. A task "manager" app would be okay to use. You could also try unchecking the box to sign into Gtalk automatically (Find that in the Gtalk settings) or just not using so many apps at once.
The two posts above forgot to mention a few things. Titanium Backup requires root access. There's an app in the Market called OCLF (One Click Lag Fix) that can help you easily obtain this. If you use Titanium Backup, you can also remove some AT&T bloatware that comes with your phone, only if you want, of course.
ADW.Launcher will allow you to drag an app icon over the trash can that pops up after you long press on one. Just hold it over for a few seconds and it will ask if you want to uninstall it.
So, there are plenty of easy, free ways to help you out!
Hi all,
So flashing ROMs is now natural to me, I was a long time on 2.1 with lag-fix and this was enough for me, but now leaked ROMs became very good (as it sounds form people around) and I gave it a try:
I copied all my contacts to gmail account instead of phone memory
I'm backing up my text messages and then can restore them
What's left is applications with their settings and more important their market entries this is something I'm asking you about - I'm doing backup with Titanium, then when i restore i need to press "install" and "done" buttons on each and every app and in the end i see that there was no market entries for any of those applications, so they won't get updated.
Ok then, I thought, maybe AppBrain will help me, while it's on my working ROM it's cool - I can sync my apps, see updates etc. but when i switch to nude from apps rom and then sync the AppBrain syncs and removes all the apps i had there so also nothing here...
Maybe I'm just doing something wrong - I would very appreciate to know how you do all this stuff right!
Thanks!

Titanium backup backs up your app+data. When you're restoring them, did you press app+data instead of just app?
I don't know why that would happen since I always get my market entries back.

I guess that I actually did used app+data option, or at least all the programs did remembered my settings (doesn't that means that i restored also the data?)
also is there a way to restore apps without pressing "install" and "done" on every one of them?
Thanks in advance

You have to buy the pro version for that feature. I HIGHLY recommend it. It is so useful and saves you so much time. And the dev is extremely helpful and supportive of his app.
Try restoring their data and see if that works. If not, try re-downloading them and back the files up again.

Do what koreancanuck's suggesting - try to reinstall all apps + data and keep your fingers crossed. I also have the pro version of TiBu - agreeing to install every single app after a new ROM installation is the last thing I want to do.
If you still can't get your apps working after installing apps + data then you'll just have to go through the Market to download them again. At least you can still see which apps you already had via TiBu. I feel like sometimes it's better to start over when you've just installed a fresh ROM, rather than restore from TiBu, because then you can really see which apps you want and which ones were just wasting space.
Thanks to everyone much more adept than I am and who write clear directions, I've been able to root my NC and load APK files onto it using ADB. But, being the relative newbie that I am, here's my question--how do I REMOVE applications that I either don't want or that don't seem to work once I install them? I don't see an ADB command for that, but maybe I'm missing it. Thanks!
If you haven't already, install LauncherPro. Then to uninstall apps all you have to do is drag the program icon icon that you want to uninstall over to the the trash can on the homescreen. Hold it over the trashcan until the "drop to unisntall" comes up and then release the icon. Done and done.
I installed Launcher Pro, and dragged the icons to the trash can. But the apps still show up in my list of apps (in Launcher Pro) and in the Extras of the NC. I want to get rid of them entirely. Should I use Terminal Emulator to do that? And if so, what's a good apk file for that?
Thanks!

If you follow my instructions carefully it will uninstall the app. You have to hold the icon over the trashcan until the dialog pops up. Then release.

adw also does this. just as a note.
Additionally, using task killer, open the program, and then open ATK. long press on the app in the list, and select "details/force stop". There's an option to uninstall the app from that list.

I thought I had replied that I had realized I hadn't followed your instructions to the letter but that on re-reading, I recognized you had given me the answer. (I also clicked on thanks). Apparently the "quick reply" didn't get the job done. Chalk it up to my inexperience.
Everybody should be using Titanium Backup. It is probably the single most useful app I have.
You can uninstall, "Freeze", and back up. Its one of the few apps I've paid for and its worth it. The free version is fine too.

It is THE best app out there..hands down! Especially for r00ters!
It was VERY worth the $3.00 MANY times over...many many many times over.
Is that clear?
I found this yesterday and I have to share it.... This is a GREAT App for backup and restore of Apps. AppMonster Pro.
It does backup/restore/batches/etc... but a great feature it has is, when you install a App it immediately backs it up upon install in the background. It has a great UI, it is fast, and VERY no obtrusive.
No regrets with this one.
Search in market "AppMonster Pro"
Enjoy!!
Do it also restore widget? Titanium don't do it.
Nothing can restore widgets. That's why Titanium doesn't do it.
So does this app do all the other things that Titanium does as well?
Backup system data
Backup to Dropbox
Freeze/unfreeze apps
Move all apps to the SD card/Internal memory
Integrate updates of system apps into the ROM
Market doctor (cleans up Market links)
Clean the Davlik Cache
Create an update ZIP from a backup
That's the ones I could see, but I'm pretty sure there's more that I've missed.
Titanium is not just a mere app backup program
(As you may have guessed, I'm a big Titanium fan!)
Titanium can manage system apps too
Sorry for OT; but why cant Titanium and other apps backup widgets? :-\
I can 2nd this....I've been using Appmonster Pro for ages....it is absolutely AWESOME.
Really hard to use tho, as it takes a lot of steps...I will list my technical backup routine.......
1:Tap 'Appmonster' shortcut.
2: Click tap 'backup'
3......done...everything.
lol - AWESOME app.....eats titanium for breakfast, IMHO.

Hmm, i musta read wrong...i thought he said 'App Backup' ?
LOL... Yes, I am referring to App Backup. I see no need to backup System Apps since when you flash a new ROM they have System Apps. Build to build things change I using old "system" data can only create problems. I am not so lazy to spend 10 mins or so to set my settings after a new flash.
Other than the Ability to freeze a app TB has nothing useful (IMO). I use Autostarts to disable anything from running for no reason, and if I need to freeze it... I will just delete it from the ROM all together. If I don't need it what the hell is the point of keeping it around? Root Explorer and System/App/Delete is a good friend of mine.
I like App monster because it is simple and I don't have to remember to backup all the time. When I download something it backs it up. Also, If you have limit room on your SD card it will backup the Market download links instead of the .APK's.
Great App for what is "NEEDED".
So what you're now saying is that Titanium is a completely different application, so saying...

It's like saying, I bought a steering wheel I really like, so your Maserati is pointless.

So, if people are looking for a Great App Backup option with silent backup... "Forget About Titanium".

you dont got the point...
Titanium Backup can restore nearly your whole phone including system settings, sms, contacts, browser shortcuts and call history.
Froze the motorola.blur.home (motoblur home launcher) app after rooting my D3 a long time ago. Now im trying to defrost it but good old titanium backup (pro) says the app has been uninstalled because the app is at the bottom of the list doth its name crossed out. Anyways at this point I can only use the restore function but titanium backup just hangs and I have to fc it, probably becuz the app is in the system/app folder, I don't know.
I checked the folder with root explorer and the app is still in the folder, just presumably still frozen.
How can I get back the MOTOBLUR home (yes it sucks I know, I wont be using it)
Divide by zero, I dare you...
