thank you
there is also a facebook icon in the main menu. how do i delete this facebook? i cant seem to find it in the app list...

I won't be able to get to my computer till tomorrow. I will look it up then if no one else has answered your question.
For Facebook you should be able to delete it from adb and it won't appear when you boot it back up

That would be great if you could get me the names of those or how to delete them. I really appreciate it. I cant seem to find how to delete any of them via adb...i really want them gone, especially facebook.
Thank you!

i have since deleted the pdf viewer...

They are system apps so easiest way is to use adb on computer.. type this in command prompt
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
It will display all apps on the phone other then market downloaded ones. To remove type this.
rm NameOfApp.apk
Im guessing you can figure what app is what now. They are simply labeled. And remember, its caps sensitive.

This I know. Thanks.
I dont see the names of the apps I want to remove.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I believe the Facebook apk is located in system/app (maybe wrong though I can't remember where I deleted mine from)
I think there was htcfacebook.apk and com.facebook.katana.apk
The Google nav has been elusive so far but from what I am seeing it looks to be included in the Google maps app. I can't find a specific file to get rid of it. If anyone else could verify that it would much appreciated.

PDFViewer.apk = PDF viewer
Are you sure you want to remove the blue arrow one? That's google maps navigation... sorry, I don't know that one.
BTW someone made a great post of a list of almost all stock HTC apks which I keep bookmarked for reference:

Thank you.
I do use google maps for nav. I just want the 'blue arrowed' navigator off the main menu.

I didnt see it in the list when i typed ls. Im running stock rooted. When i go to the market, facebook is listed 'installed' and will only allow me to uninstall updates. Some things dont work when i run fresh2.1.2. Some things dont show in the market, updates dont work although i didnt push odadm. Suggestions?
Hows the evo? I was ready to buy one today...couldnt find it. Wouldve been impulse anyway...

If you remove the Navigator apk I'm pretty sure you won't be able to use the google navigator turn by turn directions-style navigation. Google maps will work, but not navigation. I don't think you can remove just the icon from the apps drawer if that's what you mean.

One way I uninstall apps if I don't want to use adb is to install titanium backup and uninstall from there. Just go to the backup/restore tab, tap on the app and it should give you the option to uninstall.hope this helps!

Messaging App..

Can somebody please help me take this app out of my phone... its the default app.. i want to use one from the market.....

Assuming you are rooted and have Android sdk on your computer you need to do this in the command prompt......
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/xxxxxx.apk
HTC also has the messaging widget which you can remove.
To see all the apps do this in the command window....
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
Then just replace xxxxxx with the app you want to remove. I'm on my phone so I can't tell you off hand what the name is.

I was under the impression that you shouldn't remove the stock messaging app because regardless what program you use it needs the mms framework from the messaging app to function. You can turn off all notification for the stock messaging app so that it doesn't pop up for texts though.
I'd be sure to do a nand backup before removing this.

I do believe he is right

If ur removing mms ur correct. If ur talking am the IM apk then that can be removed. If u want to use a text message app from the market u have to leave the mms app on the phone. Just go the settings and turn off auto retrieve and notifications. All the text message apps use the mms to send messages. Hope that helps

Not true I deleted mms.apk and use handcent. I've never had any issues since deleting the default app weeks ago

I used SU File Manager and mounted the system folder as read and write then went into system/apps/ and deleted MMS.apk. This removed the entire Messaging App from my Hero and I only use Handcent now and haven't had any issues.
or from your computer's terminal you could do:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/mms.apk

When 90% of people, including a dev tell you no, you should listen.

yea except from experience I know that this can be done with no issues. So, until you have tried something yourself how about you not respond?

Heard of that saying "don't fix what's not broke", well I think that's just as valid in reverse, "don't break what actually works".

OK OK OK... you are right.. don't fix whats not broken.... that is a golden rule... but then again what do you call everything everyone is doing to there phone... Anyways thank you all for your help.... xda and everyone involved rocks.....

Short Search Button

Forgive me as I'm sure this has been asked.
I've run search on XDA app as well as googled, and looked everywhere in settings.
My short press search button no longer brings up search function from the home screen. Haptic tells me it's reading fine. Long press to voice search is still good. Short press search in other apps is good too.
Also, MENU | SEARCH is dead too, in home screen.
Running CM nightly 233 & ADW.
Kind of lost. Pointer much appreciated.

I'm guessing you've confirmed Google Search app is installed?

Just verified, yup, and runs no problem. Just independent of the button.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

I'm guessing you're using CM? And had to delete the GoogleSearch apk and reinstall it from Market to upgrade? Your search is on /data. You need it on /system for the key to work. Get root explorer, or use terminal if you understand basic cd, ls, cp, and mv. Look in /data/app and find the apk for search, rename it to QuickSearchBox.apk, and push it to /system/app. Then reboot, and it should work.
Edit: I can't remember, it might be GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk. I think it's what I said the first time, but if that doesn't work, try it with Google in front of it and reboot again. My N1 is currently backing up in recovery or I'd check.

That's it, GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk. Thanks much.

Hide Bar App

Hi, has someone try this app to hide the bottom bar?

It hides the bar, but can't get it back by Swyping up! I'm on Tiamat 221

Tried it and had to reboot. Luckily, I made sure to uncheck Start at Boot.
Been looking for one of these that actually works.

Whats wrong with TabletBar Hider? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tlalexander.tabletbarhider&feature=search_result
Looks like Honeybar isn't on the market anymore.

I have a link for HoneyBar but I am not sure if it is warez or not. It's from *OK I gues it is warez, cause there are other paid apps' APKs there*
Since the app isn't on the market anymore though I guess I could upload it here, but I need a confirmation from a mod

It's a bit cumbersome to have to rotate the tablet just to get out of it, and I keep getting stuck in an app having to reboot..
A simple corner long press our swipe would remedy this. Dunno why this can't be added.

Use virtual bar to get outa apps instead of reboot. And Honeybar is the one to get, if you can find it..

I think Google has removed Honeybar from the Android Market. I guess removing an essential UI element of Honeycomb is not what Google wants users to do.

Thanks all for your advice... with just a quick google search found honeybar

I can't find it :-/

Links don't open

I was wondering if anyone has an issue where links don't open. As in clicking on directions in yelp doesn't open google maps or Waze.
Nor do click on apps from the Notifaction bar either.
I probably did something and don't remember.

I haven't had any issues clicking on links from Chrome Canary or,from apps such as XDA Labs/AndroidPolice/Droid Life & even the Wells Fargo app (from Amazon AppStore).
Might need to check permissions,I haven't got the usual prompts on everything,been hit or miss.

I had to set the app as a default for it to open instead of being able to choose which app I want to open
