Captivate - ATT app removal advice request - Captivate General

Obviously, I have an ATT-Captivate. I have removed all of the ATT crapware - except for:
ATT FamilyMap
ATT HotSpot Locator
ATT Music
I have looked through system/apps and didn't see any likely candidates to remove.
Has anyone else removed them - and, if so, what are the apk's named and where are they located. I have looked in all the likely places.
Thanks!
PS - I HOPE no one posts below that this is for a Galaxy S device!

Please take this to the captivate forums!

Sorry Mods! - didn't notice there were different forums for the different versions of the Galaxy S.
Please move the the Captivate forum. Thanks.
Dang! Darkstriker! Your fast! I just posted one of these and hadn't even realized they HAD a CAPTIVATE/VIBRANT forum yet!!!

Thread moved.

After you have your phone rooted, install Titanium Backup from the Market. You can use it to uninstall locked apps, such as AT&T's bloatware. Be sure to back the programs up first, though.

New Category for Motorola Milestone (GSM Droid)

That's a message for the admins or mods in the forum.
I've been on your page for nearly two years. We need a new category for the new Motorola Milestone or (GSM Droid), cause we need to get root on it so we need the help of everyone who can do that. In fact, at the moment, even the Nexus One has one category and has been rooted, that the reason why we need a place where we could share our researches, apps, games and everything related to that phone.
Thanks!
Your comments will be useful if we want that new category on that Forum.

Alternate marketplaces?

I've seen the posts that talk about how AT&T will censor within the Android Marketplace but I can't seem to find the answer to whether AT&T bans alternate marketplaces that aren't run by Anroid like AndApp.
Anyone know the answer to that? Thanks!
I think the only place that AT&T allows loading apps from is teh Market, which will be the market icon on the phone.
As you have probably read it is easy to get a round that issue.
So I don't need to worry about getting the Captivate then on AT&T and not having access to some awesome app out there just cause it lives in another marketplace? I actually haven't read that, which is why I was asking. Do you have a link that explains that?'
Thanks!

By the way...the General section has a lot of information on how to root, enable sideloading...etc.

[Q] Installing Non Market Apps..

Ok, I am sure folks have asked this before. I have done a search and still can not find a answer. I am wanting the option in my settings that will allow me to download non market apps.
I have rooted the phone and am running the 2.2 custom rom that I got before AT&T released theirs. When I go into setting to the area that should have the option to allow non market apps, it is not there.
I thought that once you rooted and installed the custom rom, it would give you this option as I know that AT&T blocks this on their firmware / rom.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Obviously you did not do a search and posts like need to be in q&a section. We had this place cleaned up a couple days ago to rid the general of threads like this.

You can use this to root, but then also to allow NM Apps. Real simple, just have to have the drivers installed on your computer.
Here's a link for you SuperOneClick

First, This is my first time on this paticular website so knowing the exact area to post is not always the easiest as all forums are different.
Second, I am a member of different tech type forums out there and I would never slam someone like you are doing. The purpose of forums like this is to help people and not to see how big of a "****" you can be to someone.
You should keep in mind that you may need help someday on a product you have and you go online to get a answer and that person acts the way you did and see how you like it.
I have even ran forums before and have kicked people off that acted in this manner.... Just be careful on who you piss off.

Slow down everyone! No need for drama
Please be more conciderate to new people and act the way you would like people to act towards you when you require help or you're newb. (that's a rule btw.. in some other words)
EDIT: @ OP - SuperOneClick, as mentionned, will do the job perfectly

Droid Explorer works, too
I believe Astro File Manager also has this ability in the Preferences section..
There's no option, it just installs. There is an option in 2.3 though.

It is due to att removing the option for their devices. If att release a 2.3.3 update you can be sure that it will be removed from there as well. The reason you see it now is that att is the only one that does it and we are working with the euro version
I understand. Every custom rom I've seen just installs even though the option is not there.

[Q] Any Way To Remove CIQ Software From Sprint TP2 Stock ROM?

I just got a replacement Sprint TP2 via insurance and while perusing the registry I discovered several entries indicating CIQ is on the device. If I can figure a quick way to post the reg entries, I will. I understand that flashing a custom ROM would likely do the trick, but I'm curious to know if/how I can remove it from the stock ROM.
There have been discussions about CIQ removal in the EVO 4G and Hero Android forums, but none related to WinMo. Any suggestions and questions are welcomed.

[Q] Apps to Safely Remove

Hello,
I just got my Skyrocket yesterday and promptly rooted it. I uninstalled some of the more obvious AT&T applications but there were some I wasn't completely sure about; so I decided to wait, patience being a virtue and all.
So, has anyone (or will anyone) come up with a list of the apps we can safely remove from this device without it affecting the performance/capability of the phone?
Thanks in advance.

Good place to start on the subject.

it would be a good idea for one the OP's to just add your threads Info in the OP of this thread. instead redirecting them to one NOT in our forum.
