Hey guys,
So I just flashed a new rom (MidNote 2.0) and when I came back into the app drawer there where two apps called "clock". So seeing that I didn't want duplicates in my app drawer, and assuming that it was a duplicate app, I froze one of the copies of it in titanium backup.
My predicament now is that both clocks are now stuck frozen (I can't defrost them) and I cannot access either of them via my app drawer.
I'd love for anyone to be able to help shed some light on this.
Thanks in advance!

tried searching for this but couldnt it so pls bear with me...
I just autonootered my nc last night and installed my paid apps from google. How do i find these apps besides searching for them? I noticed that I can't make folders or find the icons to drop on the home screen. Thanks in advance.
If you didn't already, try installing a launcher app like ADW launcher or Zeam. That should allow you to do what you want. Otherwise, if you reboot, you should see your apps show up under the Extras section.

thanks a million.. figured it had to be something simple lol
Ok so after months of trying to figure out how to get facebook and twitter for lg off of this phone, I figured it out. My revo is rooted and I have cwm with the decrapped rom from thecubed. The actual apk file is called sns.apk (short for social networking service). I backed it up, then froze the app using titanium backup. Voila! No more facebook or twitter for lg. I don't know if anyone else has figured this out, but I thought I would share
SWEETTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most Excellent find. This should go in the list of useful apps to freeze. Great!!
Any non-rooted solutions??

I really doubt it, but is there a way to remove or freeze apps if your phone isn't rooted? Also, can't you just uninstall the apps instead freezing them? Or does that cause a problem somehow?
Thanks! I was wondering what SNS was...frozen now!

You can uninstall them.. but freezing to me is better.. if we do get the gingerbread update and you are still pretty stock with some frozen apps, you can un freeze and then do the update and you should be fine.. much easier than uninstalling the app and then having to reinstall them.
I noticed after reflashing decrapped 1.1 the facebook for lg icon came back and it also showed up as an option for sharing a pic. I looked in titanium backup and it said it was still frozen, when I hit unfreeze it said apk file not found, so I hit uninstall. That was successful, then I flashed mtmichaelsons revolt rom and since he hasnt gotten bluetooth working on it I reflashed again back to decrap 1.1. The icons came back and I went to tibu again. I hit restore and it said it was successful, but then the icons disappeared. I don't really care if this program is deleted permanently from the phone, but I am wondering why it keeps popping up like that and why it's acting like that in tibu. Not a major issue for me, just odd
I used titanium to backup all my user data and apps. I also noticed titanium had an option to move all my apps to sd card, so I went and did that. I also deleted backups for non installed apps.
One of these three operations seems to have removed the icons for some of my widgets/shortcuts on my home screens. Some of the icons say "Problem loading" and I can not click on them.
Is there a way to fix this?
Remove that icon and drag again the widget to desktop?

I would but its like half a dozen icons and i dont remember what they all were. I just did a restore all. That made me install all my apps again. Still did not fix the problem.
I guess I'l lreplace the icons manually once I need them and remember what they were.
I just flashed the stock o version, and tried uninstalling the lg sns app, as i thought it is the one that contains Facebook and twitter. After the uninstall my home screen would no longer load and i had to reflash again. How can i remove those apps?
Also on the stock home screen bar how can i change the default messaging link?
Thanks a lot
Ps. I tried searching for these, as i thought these should be common questions, but my searching skills are just horrible.

Is it even possible to uninstall the LG sns apps from stock rom? Are you rooted? For what I know, it is a system app and cannot be uninstalled like ordinary user apps.
Anyway, if you phone's rooted, you can just download titanium backup and either freeze it or uninstall it from there, should be no problem, I do that too, I don't like the sns apps and some other LG bloatware. I don't know about deleting it manually using apps like root explorer or es explorer will have any negative side effects, but it usually don't.
Cheers!
Yes i am rooted and I tried to remove sns and also F-Secure using Titanium Backup, but thereafter i could not get to my homescreen anymore. I will try it again. Maybe it was something else i did, and not the removal of sns that caused the problem.
While rooted, uninstalling them with Titanium Backup works fine for me.
About the default messaging app on the home screen, if you mean by the 4 icons that is always there.. I don't think you can change it,atleast not easily anyway, there is no options for that.
Actually it's very easy to change the bottom icons in the LG Launcher. Enter the apps-drawer, click menu/edit, then just drag the apps you want down to the bottom icons.
Thanks. That was exactly what i wanted. I tried just dragging without the edit part but that did not work. I was also able to remove sns without problems.

It works! I though I tried it before when the first time using stock rom 8months ago and it did'nt work! So I thought it will never work for stock rom! Thanks!
Hello, I'm new to having a rooted phone and doing back ups. I was wondering if there a app or something in titanium that can backup your ringtones settings for your contacts and your home screen, app folders? I am trying out the EclipticONE-Revamped-Inverted DEODEX 3.8 and for some reason it won't let me use htc backup to restore my homescreen and app folder setup.

Thanks I'll look into it. It doesn't seem to be able to back up contacts or ringtones settings. Is there a app that can do this? I figured out how to backup contacts on titanium. I'm sorry if I sound like a noob, I'm trying to look things up and learning the stuff that goes with running a rooted phone.
I'm pretty sure TWRP/CWM backs up EVERYTHING. But you can't transfer that around from ROM to ROM.
You need not worry about contacts. Google backs that up for you.
When I used to be a flashaholic on my gs2, the only thing I would back up was doodle jump. I enjoyed having to toy with all the settings. Ringtones don't take so long to set up, do they?
Not really, I was just curious if there was a app that could do it. I'm trying out a few different roms to find one I like, so I figured I would ask just incase something like that was out there.
