Help!! I was messing with the widgets and when I tried Picture Frame I was asked to set a default action and accidently hit ES FileManager. Now I can't figure out how to change it to something else.
Everything I've read said select Settings->Applications->Manage->Clear Defaults but I don't know what App to clear. I cleared everything I could find that had Defaults and it still won't let me change it.
Once I do get to change it, what do I change it to?
You could uninstall both app, and reinstall. that should do the trick.
The app came with CyanoMod and I tried re-flashing the ROM without success. I suppose I could delete the user data too.
I 'think' if you go to settings - applications - manage applications and find the app your referencing then clear data it should prompt you to choose a default again.
The problem is I can't find the application. That's why I indicated I cleared defaults on every app that showed up that had the button as a choice. I may have missed it somehow. I was hoping someone could tell me which app or that it took something else to do it.
It's a widget, so you can just drag it to the trash can from your home screen to get rid of it. Also, the default you would want to clear is the app you associated it with (your file explorer app). It is looking for a folder where photos are located so it can display them. So you can navigate to the DCIM folder (or wherever your photos are located) with the file explorer program you used. But if you go to manage applications in settings you should be able to clear defaults for that file explorer app and the next time you try to use that widget it will ask you to choose what app you want to use (probably gallery would be the best choice).
Let me know if this works for you!
That was it. I was looking for a photo app not Es explorer.

I installed Launcherpro Icons and Docks from the market place and I saved a few icons to my gallery. However, it saves 2 .png icons and I can only delete one of them. The other one I can't seem to delete as the "delete" button is greyed out and the Location is unavailable. Can anyone help me delete these icons? I tried searching for them through my computer and Astro with no results.
It could be that your gallery hasn't updated its cache. It may think the image is still there even though it is not.
All the icons will be saved to /sdcard/LauncherProIcons. If the file isn't there, then it doesn't exist.
You can install a free app called Rescan Media that will help your gallery update the cache.
You could also try restarting the phone. Your cache should be updated on boot.
Thanks. I had to reset the phone to get rid of it. But since after the reset, I have not been able to push apps from the online Market site to my phone.
When I first turned on my wifi xoom after opening the box today, the home page had a generic android where books should be when pressing it said app not installed I also noticed that youtube app isn't there either. Now I'm rooted. Could someone email me those apk files so I can install them manually
[email protected]
ok got the system dump and tried copying apk files and no dice. not showing up in app drawer. Anyone e,se having these issues?
Mine did that until I set up WiFi and added my google account in settings. Then it grabbed the books app and the shortcut worked.
Make sure you are grabbing the .apk and the .odex file for youtube and put it in the /system/app folder. I accidentally deleted my youtube as well and when I put the two files in there is worked fine.
I will be updating this as we get more info in. Just post a reply and I'll edit the top here.

Titanium backup or use es file manager with root access checked off in settings and delete them or any file manager that has root access really but you shouldn't delete them..just move them to a folder on your sd card or rename them to .bak or freeze them with titanium backup..this way if anything goes wrong you will be able to fix it
Hope I helped

I remove the video editing app without any problems.
EDIT: I froze all the "authenticator" apps without a problem.
Code:
rm /system/app/VCA*
rm /system/app/IM*
Remove most Vcast
IMPresence that is all over the logcat (hoping to see some battery saving w/ this)

Im not so sure about removing anything blur or moto related. It was said that com.motorola.android.buacontactadapter was removed, but does anyone know what it does? The main thing I dislike the most is the way the camera handles flash and the way it is linked to gallery. (I hate the moto gallery, QuickPic FTW). If camera360 supported FFCs I would be much more likely to use it.

Also - word of warning - do not remove VSuiteApp.apk - I thought it was the VCast Media Manager, but removing it puts the phone into a "Force close" loop, which even ADB can't get you out of (can't SU while in the "force close" loop). I had to reboot the phone to get it working again and restore the APK file to its correct location, which was a pretty tense experience.

I removed the VSuiteApp.apk just fine. No issues here. the force close loop is caused because the application was running at the time of deletion. VCast Media Manager is known as NewBayVault_4.2.99.36.Market.apk . this can happen to any of the apps if they are system apps that are running during time of deletion
@Darksurf -thanks for that, VCast media manager now removed.
Edited my earlier post to add that APK to the list.
On removing VSuiteApp.apk - what does that app do? It seems to be related to the voice recognition system as far as I can see. Be safe to remove if you don't want voice IO, perhaps?
I removed the DLNA app, it started giving immediate problems with repetitive force close notices. Pulled the battery, restarted, never happened again.
So I used Root Explorer to rename most of the same apps everyone is listing as .bak. I then gave my phone a few hours run to see how everything behaved and that I didn't freeze anything important. Once I was satisfied with that I started actually deleting certain apps (ie. blockbuster, zumo, any vzw app) because all we kept saying was "remove the bloatware." Now I'm seeing everyone say we shouldn't have actually removed anything. All that being said, how can I replace the apps I actually deleted and simply go back and .bak them?
Can I delete GlobalNWSwitch.apk? Is this what makes the phone keep on asking whether you want to switch back to Global mode once the signal is lost for a while?
I am having a problem with transferring photos from my pc to my phone.
No matter what file I try to transfer them to. They won't be recognized. Like they don't even exist.
I try to transfer them again to the same file to see if maybe it did not work but it says they are there. But when I go to check my gallery, there is no sign of them.
What is going on? Do I have a virus? Can anyone help?
Thanks.

i hate the built-in gallery try to download quickpic (alot of option + fast )
or try to clear cache
OK so that helped with updating my contact pictures list, but I originally wanted to update my wallpaper. I use multi picture live wallpaper. And like I said any new picture I put onto my phone is just not recognized.
I'm just directly put my photos under a folder created by myself in the internal storage.

I have actually done that, but alas did not make a difference. If it makes any difference. I notice that whenever I either plug in my phone into my pc and/or move photos around the "Media Scanner Running" icon notifies me on and off for about 5 minutes even after I have finished. And it as well tends to randomly close any app and the app drawer when I open it.
OK just replying to myself but haha I am becoming more and more frustrated with this. It is also affecting my music as well. I transfer the music files from my pc to my phone and they are only in "My Files" app section. Not found in any of my music players.
Now I have recently downloaded a few apps for customization. Such as ADW Launcher EX, Widget locker, and a few others.
Would any of those somehow change things in my phone. I did pay for them.
Make sure there isn't a .nomedia hidden file in the directory where you placed your picture. Additionally unless you use a media scanning app to force media scan, you will need to restart your phone.

I think I am going to assume there is something wrong with my media scanner on my phone. It is always running and constantly popping up saying it is running, then force closing anything I have open.
