After a ROM uptdate to 1.66 (original HTC ROM) I tried to install Dutty's task manager again. The installation went on with no problems what so ever, but after the installation the only thing on my phone indicating that the app's installed is in the "remove programs" menu. No taskmanager in the upper right of the screen, and I cant seem to find out where it got installed (installed it to my storagecard) Anyone's got a tip?

aha, the registry update bug strikes again
Open the registry and if you can't find the key HKCU\Software\HTC\Taskmanager you have been bitten by this bug.
Try the following: uninstall dutty's task manager and do a softreset twice. Then try to reinstall the cab again.

Or if you have it in your registry
set HKCU\Software\HTC\Taskmanager\EnableTodayX to 1 and there it is again without restarting.
cheers!

Thank's a lot, this did the trick. I also had to preform a third soft reset after the installation.
I installed Dutty's task manager and it works fine. Thank's Dutty !
I want to use ilauncher's task manager now and can't remove Dutty's.
It doesn't show in the list of installed programs at all (in SKtools also not).
Does anyone have any ideas how to remove it because it is still in the top right hand corner but I can't click on it because I'm using ilauncher. I don't think there is an option in Dutty's settings to remove the software, or is there?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

I'm running Humble v1.33 and cannot for the life of my remove LauncherPro. I'm wanting to remove it because it's stuck on my phone and I cannot update the app in the Market.
1. I've tried through the Market, where it does not give me the choice to uninstall.
2. I've tried through AppBrain. I go to Uninstall which does bring up the uninstall process on my phone, but when I click OK to uninstall the app, it says Uninstall not successful.
3. I've tried through Root Uninstaller. I select LauncherPro (located in sys btw) from the list and select Uninstall, and I get ".apk file not found" pop up.
4. I've tried through Manage applications. LauncherPro is not listed in the "Third-party" category, but is listed in the "All", where I can only click "Clear data" while everything else is greyed out.
Not sure if this is a ROM issue or what, so I thought I would start here. What are other options? I'm stumped.

Here are the steps needed to remove it:
1. Install another launcher such as ADW
2. Use root explorer and navigate to system/app
3. Mount system as r/w and delete the launcherpro apk
4. reboot the system
5. install launcherpro from the market
6. Uninstall adw or whatever launcher you temporarily put on there.
Forgot to try Titanium, which actually removed it. I've never mount the system before though...

Go to settings> applications> manage applications > all > launcherpro
and select clear defaults
when you click home button it will ask you do you want to use launcherpro or whatever other launcher is on there. If you followed the first post then you've already changed it. If not this way will allow you to set a new launcher. Now you can clear cache for launcherpro and uninstall.
How can those apps be removed...?
Any ideas...?
Eg:

That post is for AdvancedConfigTools, but the same do it with other apps eg. RegistryEditor you must install version 1.1.0.0 and then unistall from apps list.
Hi everyone!
so I installed an application (extended controls) "from unknown source" to check it was working on my tf and worth it.
and I can not uninstall it from application manager. force stop and unistall aren't available. i tried to install other versions I found and i got the same issue.
Is there a harder way to uninstall it? i couldn't find any
i'm rooted and on ICS stock.
thanks.
use titanium backup and uninstall it [or settings -> apps -> find it uninstall]... or find the apk and delete it from /data/app/
next time... don't pirate apps. theres a refund window for a reason.
Worked. thanks a lot!
i'll keep your advice in mind.
very interesting to know is a way to remove any bloat-ware or any unwanted app from your phone without root privilege.
This tutorial should work on other phones too.
here is my tutorial:
1.) you need linux or windows system on your pc with installed (mini) adb for it!!
2.) you need to have the "developer" menu enabled on your phone
( the way to get this is described many times- please search for it if unknown! )
3.) connect your phone to pc and open a command line interface
4.) enter following command without quotes : adb devices
If everything goes alright, you should see a response like this:
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
AHK02574823233 unauthorized
5.) enter following command without quotes : adb shell
the prompt should change to:
HWMHA:/
6.) now you can enter the command to delete the unused software packages:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
Examples:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.photos removes Photo app
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.hidisk removes Huawei file manager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.totemweather removes Huawei weather widget and service
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.totemweatherwidget removes Huawei weather widget and service
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.totemweatherapp removes Huawei weather widget and service
Tip: you can find the package name of all apps you want to delete with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.majeur.applicationsinfo
BE CAREFULL!!! All you will do, is done at your own risk!!!!
the selected apps are only removed (for user 0 only - not from your phone!) until the next factory reset!!!
so if something goes wrong, you have to factory reset your phone to get back all deleted apps! (see Edit!!!)
After a factory reset, all deleted apps are back again!
As i know, OTA updates are possible after deleting some apps because the BB is not open and the recovery was not changed!
(personally checked!)
btw: i have tested this tutorial by myself and it works without problems! (smartkey and fb are no longer available now.:laugh
Edit:
How to rebuild removed system apps:
if you have removed a app, you can do the following steps to get back without a factory reset!
1.) install "SDMaid" app
2.) go to sdmaid app -> "app control" and list all apps which are installed on your phone
3.) go to sdmaid menu (right upper corner) and select "system" to list only to the system installed apps
4.) you will see, that all "deleted apps" are present as before but without there icons!
remember, you had removed it only for user 0!!!
5.) select the app, you want to restore and press sdmaid "app export" for it!
the app should no be exported to internal sd7download folder.
6.) you can no go to the download folder and reinstall the app back to user 0 accessibility!
Hope you will understand my bad translation! If yes, you should know now the way to rebuild removed system apps!
Now, we only need a list of apps that can be safely remove

if you don’t know which apps are not needed , this thread is not for you!
i have removed on my phone:
Swiftkey; SwiftKeyFactorySettings; Chrome; Easteregg; Duo; Music; Photos; Exchange; Tag; Google Books; Google Drive; Huawei Drive;
Totem Weather app; Live Wallpaper Pickers; Youtube; FB; FB Installer; Partner Bockmark Provider; Google Contact and Calender sync;
Watch Sync; and some others.
But this decision depends to my personal requirement!!!!
BTW:,
If this tutorial was helpful to you, feel free to press the thanks button for it!
i have seen, that all apps are still invisible resident in system after "deleting" them. I saw it in SDMAID app.
All deleted apps are listed without a icon. After taping "info" for this apps, i get a information screen, that this apps are not installed for user 0. So everything seems to be alright!
Awesome, thanks!

Anyone know how to get rid of the flashlight app found in the drawer? I've never had a flashlight app icon and want it gone

if you remove this app, you will have a unusable Torch icon gadget on your lock screen for it!
BTW: as i know, on our Mate 9 the torch functionality is a part of the system ui (com.android.systemui).
If you remove the system ui, you properly should get more problems as you like to get.
And this app isn’t removable from system! It is only removable from your access.
I suggest to stay with it.
How to rebuild removed system apps:

Have you enabled the setting to install apps from unknown sources?

I ran into the same issue with my Mate 10 Pro. Unknown sources is on, but it keeps saying app not installed. I tried it again on my Honor 8 just to check and it's the same thing. However, it also tells me the package appears to be corrupt. This is for the com.android.providers.calendar system app. My guess is the app is already installed but hidden from us (user 0). I'll report back if I find a fix.
