is there a way to do this or am I stupid. I have the xda premium app and gingertheory comes preinstalled with the xda app. in the manage apps menu there is no uninstall option for the app and i cant delete the icon from my app list and it is annoying having both icons in the list. nothing that I cant live with, but just annoying.
would have put this in the gingertheory thread, but I dont have enough posts yet to post a thread there.
Have u ever tried (system app remover) download and uninstall xda

You need to use an app manager with root capabilites, like titanium backup. It will allow you to uninstall system apps (so be careful!)
Also, other (read: better) launchers will allow you to hide apps from the drawer.
Just delete the apk from data/app wipe the cache and the dalvik.

Awesome. Thanks for the help. I feel like such a noob with this phone. Had my og Droid for almost 2 years (had 4 in the last 2 months before they offered early upgrade. Thank god for insurance. Only had to pay for replacing the first one after it landed face down in gravel) thought I knew a lot about Android with my simple and reliable one click root. Bricked it a couple times and that was even easy to fix. This phone requires more effort to accomplish the same stuff and I feel accomplished when I learn something new like adb which I never used till a couple of weeks ago. Then I run into something like this. I have had ti backup for over a year and didn't know it could freeze apps till a week or so ago and didn't know you could delete things with it. I need to start reading more documentation.
Again thanks. Love this community so far. People will actually help you rather saying search Google and linking you to the page, or just be rude in general.

Agreed, its a good feeling to learn things, and all though you will quite often get.. "search, Google, read" from many people... Sometimes it is just as easy to answer the Damn question, and what many don't realize is that a lot of the time a answer to a problem can be the best way to learn... If one were so inclined to do so.

I'm a noob (very). I am seeing alot of screenshots where people have really nice looking notification bars. I especially like the ones with the blue colored wifi, signal status and battery icons.
Are those from phones with custom roms? Can I get a theme from the market that will do that for me?
I am fully rooted but very new and feel I'm not ready to flash "stuff" yet...I paid $500 for our phone. I'm studying hard thought.
If anyone knows where I can download and an app that can make my notification bar look fancy I would greatly appreciate any info or links.
Thank you

Not an app. A theme that you have to flash. Make sure its compatible with your current rom

Well to the best of my knowledge you can't really tinker with your status bar until you have a custom rom and for the most options preferrably one based off of a Gingerbread (2.3 +) build. If you are already rooted then flashing roms is really safe. Do you have Clockwork Mod Recovery?

You have gingerbread 2.3 is that custom? Or can I buy it stock?
Thanks for your replies. For real.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Just because you're still running the stock rom doesn't preclude you from having clockwork mod recovery, when you rooted an app called "Superuser" should have been installed on your device. Also you may have an app called "Rom Manager" installed as well, if you don't have that one it's free in the market (and I highly suggest getting it, it is very necessary). Check to see if you have the rom manager app and let me know, if you don't, then download it from market and post back. I'll help you get clockwork mod recovery up and running, then we'll get you a basic understanding of all its functions. After that you can back up your device and get you a custom rom installed.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
@Jerry D - It looks like you have the Galaxy S 4G. If that is the phone you have, Clockwork is not quite ready for our phones. We do not have any custom rom's available at this time. So there is no way to change your notification bar.
@golmar88. Thanks for your reply. I have been reading or forum multiple times a day for a couple of weeks now and definitely up to date on our progress.
I'm that noob who is going to study and wait for something I can handle....
I saw rom manager on the market and thought wow this will be cool. I'll root and I'll have a "rom of the day". Lol.
I didn't know the work involved or the risk. After reading what is going on here I'm "hooked". I love learning new things and can't wait until I know a fraction of what some people on here know. I can't wait to flash my first rom.
Thanks again for all your help!

I know right?! As you can see, I'm a junkie (and I don't know anything either). I'm on here pretty much all day everyday, and we don't even really have any development to speak of.
Hopefully we'll get some stuff before too long.
Why are so many roms coming with 5 row app drawers..I hate them..The scrolling on them is is jittery and the app icons are smaller..I wish more developers would include a flashable zip for the stock 4 row..The transparent stuff is wack also..just my two cents no one has to agree

Since I don't have to agree, I won't. But if you don't like it, I'm sure you could search this site for a mod to remove it.
Ummmm ok..thing is the developers have to make a mod...I've been rooted since the days of the G1 so I'm pretty knowledgeable..the mod would have to be on the same frameworks as the rom u have or you will encounter problems..can't just flash any mod for it..my original staement was as to why the 5 row drawers seem to come with every rom

If you don't like it, replace it. Get another launcher, like launcher pro, that you can specify rows x cols for your app drawer

Being a knowledgable Android person, you would know these mods are made in Rosie.apk, not the framework. And seeing as how every rom is based on stock, all you would need to do is pull Rosie.apk from stock unmodified rom and push it into your current rom, making sure permissions are right. But I'm sure you already knew all of this since you owned a G1...

LOL! That's great; I didn't even notice, and I'm a stickler for that kind of thing! Nice catch.
OP: As to why "most roms" come with a 5 column app-drawer, I believe it's because most people want that. Not to minimalize your needs, but if the masses demand it, give them what they want!
I don't recall anyone contacting me, via twitter, or irc, save one person in regards to the 5 columns.
Guess what? The person who asked me got their own personal package to flash.
Guess what else? Now that my PC went tits up, you just gonna have to wait, or go through one the above channels. I don't have a lot of access anymore to my stuff.
Yes I know the rosie apk can be pulled...I've done it before on the Htc Evo using root explorer and setting the correct permissions..I'm not a dumbass..there are times when the rosie simply will not worked being pushed to the system..this is my post expressing that I don't like them..if I needed help doing it I would have asked..some people need to spend more time realizing this is a forum and not tryna feel the need to prove something...NEXT!!!

You pushed it wrong then. Other than that, only issue would be you have the wrong Rosie. Anyone will tell you Root Explorer is not exactly the way to push framework files and Rosie.apks. For a knowledgeable person, you seem to know so little.
Some of u are not reading my original post right..instead your trying to bash me on the internet like I'm a total dumbass which will not happen..I expressed something I did not like..I know there are launchers available..I don't want to use those..I also did not ask how to do it..I don't need someone trying to question my intelligence neither or try to make themselves seem like the "Android rooting GURU"..You like what you like and I like what I like, there is no right or wrong..I have knowledge using adb while some of you are trying to bash at me..this is a general discussion forum..I don't need to be attacked

Of all things to ***** about too! Ugh! I'd imagine that the douche poster could have tried advanced data restore in recovery... I mean, having to set everything up all over again can be a pain, but one can use titanium too.
Its gonna suck to not see his rom progress over here now.
On vacation so didn't get a chance to catch up before they were zapped. I highly doubt it was because of a single poster or comment. More like a culmination of *****ing about included features or lack of something, the same repeated questions answered literally 100s of times before (often on the same page as the question), etc, again and again and again after every single release.

Not sure what that meant. Anyways, this has been going on for a while. He was upset a while back because of something very similar - he sets up his roms to autowipe so that there are less bad flashover errors. While its a pain, there are ways around it for those who need to (i used advanced data restore) and the constant grumbling for features in freeware was unwarranted.
There have been 2 devs (chingy, gmichaelow) that i know of that gave up dev work on xda because of hounding by the people with the sense of entitlement. devs typically spend hours testing plus this does not pay their bills...and they have other lives.
It's funny how some people complain about something they get for free. I really wanted to try that 3D.

The sad thing is, if this person was so insistent that their data be intact, all they had to do was do an advanced nandroid restore and only do /data, I just did it and it works fine for me, going to gitis 1.1 from 1.0 (although this really isn't recommended since if something is broken because of this its your own fault and will not be supported)
Hello everyone.
As the title states, I'm looking for an application/mod that'll prompt me (or an individual who find/steals my phone) for a password when they attempt to remove my GPS tracking software.
I am running a Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 that's rooted and running sensation rom 1.9 and the hardcore speed mod kernel.
Is there already a mod/application out there that does this?
Thank you very much in advance for your time.
Ps, I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I searched both google and the forums here and found nothing. I didn't spend an hour looking, but a valiant effort was made.

Can't be donenunless your GPS stuff is baked in enough to survive a factory reset; hopefully it is .
Idk about removing it but there are suppossed to be apps that can kock it when launching it, I believe; if I remembered the name(s) I would write it here.

With Google no matter what you do it will not be fool proof. A simple reset will wipe anything that you can do to prevent it.

I dont have problems. It could be your particular widget not able to be restored via backup. But most should reappear with no problem since a nandroid is basically a snapshot of your current os.

If you have a widget not working more than likely the app that the widget belongs to needs to be moved to internal memory.
Settings/applications/manage applications then choose the app and "move to internal".
My bet is you used something like apps2sd lately.
