How to get rid of carhome???

Ok, so I got a g2x eb rom, faux kernel and a magnetic holster on my belt.
The problem is, carhome keeps popping up every time I place my phone in and take it out. Freakin annoying.
Nothing is working and I can't find carhome launcher apk ANYWHERE, only carhome apk.
Tried:
1. Un install through ti bckup and android
2. Dock no app and other apps that should stop carhome from starting
3. Pm packages disable through terminal
4. Delete apk altogether...
Nothing is working. Any suggestions?

have you tried removing it via adb? I mean, delete it, reboot and you may get an error if s/g tries to launch it. Also try an app called app quarantine, I use it to freeze apps and I know it works for car home. You can also try a program called ROM Tool box, by JRummy. If nothing works, get a new ROM, or reflash as it could just be bugged.

Thanks.
The problem is, I unstalled via titanium. No apk of carhome.
So there is no apk to quarantine or stop via apps.
I think my problem is that the carhome launcher is the pia. I can't seem to figure out how to disable the launcher. No launcher apk anywhere.

Have you tried using Bloater app?

I did the following to get rid of it:
1) extract the cahome.apk from the ROM zip file and install it.
2) Once installed it should show up in titanium backup
3) tap on car home in titanium backup and click wipe data and then the uninstall.
4) reboot,
That should remove it .

I used Rom Toolbox from the app store and uninstalled it. Poof its gone and no issues! Just go into the apps section and hold car home, then select uninstall.

Glad one of.my suggestions worked. Please hit the thanks button.

Yeah installing /uninstall doesn't work. For some reason it always comes back.
I got a diff app, disablecarhome on the market and that one finally seems to work.... If that acts up again I'll try the apps mentioned.

Oops, nvm, was reading the post on a bumpy bus, thought the person who said they used ROM toolbox was you. What app exactly did you use and why?

I am not an advance user, but I did managed to removed that piece of **** carhome without ****ing anything up.
1) Install Root Uninstaller. It is a free app on market. (I assume you have root access, since you said you are using faux and eb rom)
2) Find Carhome, check it, hit Backup in case you want it back, then uninstall. The apk should be saved on your phones internal sd right now, back it up to your pc as you desired.
3) At this point, your phone should pop out something about kineto (sp?), crashing. I've try anything I can think of but nothing will back you out of that error loop. No fear though! All you have to do is pull battery out
4) Turn the phone back on, now enjoy your phone without that piece of **** app bothering the **** outa you

Freezing it should also work since it is not available in app drawer.

Stuck notifications.

Phone tried to download facebook but network was off. Notification still shows downloading. Notification wont go away.
I tried rebooting...uninstalling and reinstalling app. Still wont go away.
What can i do?

It still shows it as an active download right? Tried clearing notifications with the X (rather than swiping away)? What happens if you tap on it?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium

There is no x on it. Clicking on it closes the notification window. It doesn't do anything like bring me into the market.
Do i need to clear an app's data or cache?
Does it make a difference that im on tweaked 3.0?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app

My wife's phone has the same issue. Tweaked 3.0. I don't use Facebook, so no issues with mine.
I suspect it's a Facebook app. problem, but I haven't had time to dig into it.

Any ideas? what have you tried on your wife's phone? Maybe together we can figure it out.

I got it. This should work for you:
Go in to Settings
Select Applications
Select Manage Applications
Select “All Apps”
Select the ‘Facebook’ app
Under ‘cache’ – click [Clear cache]
Clear Data – click [Clear data]
Go back to list of Manage Applications
Select the Download Manager
Under ‘cache’ – click [Clear cache]
Clear Data – click [Clear data]
Reboot if you feel the need.
Good luck!

Rememo, you da man. Clearing the data in download manager got everything back to normal. Thanks much

App preferences.

Hello, I had unlocked and rooted my phone. Still on stock.
Here's my question/problem:
When I was on Facebook and there was a video posted; I could choose what player I wanted or I could use a EZ-Downloader to download the file to view off Facebook.
All of a sudden I dont have that option any more.
Can some of you awesome gurus here guide me in the right direction to get that option back?

Go to settings select the app that you set as default and hit clear defaults.
FYI this should be in questions thread.

You must have clicked always instead of just once one of the times you selected one of your options. Go to settings/apps find that app and click on clear defaults. That should free you up.

Yup. They are right.

[Q] Samsung apps store

So I disabled the Samsung app store when I got the phone. Now I want it back but enabling it does not do anything. I've tried downloading it but that didn't work either.
Any suggestions?

I was hoping not to but your probably right.

No you don't have to factory reset. Let me see what I did and get back to you in a few.
Enable both the appstore and widget. Put the widget on the home screen and then press on it. It will ask you if you want to install the app store again. Its weird but works.

[Q] Choosing toolbox crashes settings

As title, I'm running 5.02 (Netherlands) on a P900. Everything is pretty good and I can switch on toolbox but if I actually select toolbox then settings crashes. Any ideas?
EDIT: Did a data wipe and that fixed it. Wiping the cache did not sadly.

Same thing happened to me, after going to the notification panel and switching it on from there, it stopped freezing and is working like normal

Same problem with my US version and 5.02. I did a Wipe Cache and that didn't solve it. Also, I don't have the tool from the notification panel, just in the Settings. I am not ready to factory reset.

Try just turning it on, then let it force close, hold the toolbox, then go up to edit, then it should work from there

1. Turn it ON
2. Press and HOLD and drag it UP to edit
3. You will find a list of apps. Choose 5 favorites
4. Click DONE.
5. Go back to the settings, and you will see it active

Thank you. I can confirm that it works now.
I think it's the initial set up that's causing it to crash. Once you have one app on the toolbox, setting no longer crashes when pressing toolbox.

Well, I did figure it out in the original post
Looks like we have a way that doesn't involve a data wipe now though, so that's better

Thanks, this worked.

Wish I would have read this before I did a hard reset

Oh, that's what those 3 dots are!
Thanks, Yoshi! I've been trying to figure out what those 3 Dots were once my Note Pro "downgraded" to 5.02.
I'm having crashes with Toolbox as well. Once I followed your instructions, the 3-dot icon had the apps I picked. Then I realized this was "Toolbox". Of course, a little documentation about what was being changed by version 5.02 would have been a great help. But it seems like it costs too much nowadays to create documents along with hardware/software.
But why would I need Toolbox when I've been using Slider Launcher app for a few months to do the same thing? And Slider doesn't have the 5 app restriction of Toolbox as well.
Now if I can only get my Logitech Pro keyboard and the Samsung keyboard to work like they did under 4.4, and the S-Note widget to show all my notes ... well, here's hoping 5.03 will be soon coming and enhance my tablet instead of degrade it.
