Anyone know how to take the at&t widgets off the widget list?

Anyone know how to take the at&t widgets off the widget list? Im on a Captivate rooted, (oclf) and have root explorer (if that matters).

You can use root explorer to delete the files associated with them or titanium backup will also remove system apks. Just be sure you know what the names are, some can be quite cryptic.
The files are in system/app directory but some apps also have other files associated with them.
Titanium backup has a feature where you can freeze them which essentially disables them and you can defrost thus reenabling should you find you made an error or change your mind.

I've tried TB, but for some reason, it slowed my phone down. I can try it again. When they are froze, will that eliminate them from the widget list?

Cool thanx man. And does anyone else have an issue freezing apps on captivate and TB keeps saying its freezing the app. I let my phone sit for like 10 mins trying to freeze one app!

No problems with freezing at all. Its a quick process and defrosting is just as quick

So as soon as you hit "freeze" it does its thing, then you can choose the next app? Maybe I should haver restarted my phone or something after untangling TB.

Hey there,
If you happen to be running Launcher Pro, you can hit Menu - Preferences - General Settings - Hidden Apps. Here you can check what you don't want to see in your apps list.
As far as Titanium Backup goes, I've never tried the Freeze option - I've just deleted what I didn't want (as long as I knew what it was!)
Hope this helps!

Yeah that helped I been hiding that apps with LP, but I figured everything out using TB. I just went ahead and bought it. Thanx everyone for your input!

You can also get autostarts and disable the widgets from starting.

Random Force Closes and Widgets being deleted

I was having random issues with widgets and freezes before root. In my opinion I think touchwiz is just clunky.

Never had the issue with my Captivate.. im thinking about returning it and waiting for the AT&T Nexus S.. I can't believe Sammy would release a phone with this many bugs!

My vote is That the file system is rfs and that is the culprit. However rumor has it that supercurio is working on a lag fix. I. Have no proof of this. Just an uneducated guess

As usual check to make sure what storage the app is installed on. I am having some issue with my Audiogalaxy widget personally. I never told it to do so, but it installed the app on my internal "memory card" as opposed to on the phone. Move it if you have to.
Try restart after that, and if it still isn't working, try removing and reinstalling.
(I'm beginning to suspect some widgets I am used to may be gingerbread only)

Yeah gtasks is deleting itself and also my videos and mp3s randomly stop working.

well he tweeted it. he didnt say in progress, he simply said he was looking through the infuse source code... and then said the infuse would get the voodoo treatment. first sound, then lagfix. dont expect it this week or next. or even next month. it might come that fast but it might not. he got a sgs2 and may be sidetracked with that, also he is heavily involved with new stuff for voodoo sound, maybe we will get squeezed in to this next voodoo sound release, maybe the one after.
is anyone who is having trouble using apps to sd? that is known to cause disapearing widgets. the sgs's have ample storage for apps. i dont know why people insist on moving them to the sd. maybe they have a fast sd card but the phone doesnt need much. embedded os is kinda designed to do minimal i/o.

I had the same issues with widgets deleting. I had to uninstall and reinstall from market to get the going again.
I should have said this first, my issues only started after rooting. But then again I only had the phone for about 10 mins before rooting it.
got rid of it already though as I have an sgs2 on the way.

odd. I have had zero problems with the phone. no reboots. no widget problems.
i have added/deleted many... including evernote.
no problems.
rooted.

No issues with force closing, but I have had quite a bit of disappearing Widgets. Grooveshark and audible from the same panel in go launcher. I haven't done root or anything.
Can I admit that my love of this phone maybe more than just a man's love for a device.

I had the same problem of Widgets Disappearing, mainly after reboots.
In my case, the culprit was that the applications were automatically installed in the Internal SD (16gb one) of the phone instead of its flash memory... The end result was that when the phone booted up, looked for the widgets /before/ it had finished mounting and scanning the Internal & External SDs, causing the OS to simply removing the Widgets since it could no longer find them.
Try checking on Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> <Problematic App / Widget> (And if available) -> Move to Phone
Reboot and they should stop disappearing.

This totally works. Using go launcher and unrooted Infuse 4G. Both Grooveshark and audible widgets now stay active in the widgets menu.

Com.android.phone fc'ing

I'm currently running DB 3.0 rc3.
I'm consistently having com.android.phone. and com.android.messages fc'ing on me quite often. Ive done complete wipes, I've deleted anything Twitter, I've cleared the cache and data.
Is it possible to replace both of above to eliminate problems?
Thanks for any help guys and gals

Trying rebooting into recovery and fixing permissions.
You could always reflash the rom as well.

I've fixed permissions, and reflashed ROM. Is it a possibility on glitchy radio?
Ive also froze every app that has been downloaded to possibly isolate a crappy appy doing it.

Its possible. What rom and radio are you running?

I see yore running a gb rom. Try reflashing mr2 or mr2.5 radios. That and a fresh flash/full wipe should do it.

Dloading a fresh MR2, will double check md5, you have suggestion for good kernel, or one that just comes with DB 3.0 RC3?
Thanks for your help man

I'm having the exact same errors, both on 3.0 and the 2.1 remix with some 3.0 pieces. I don't know if it's gingerbread or not but it's super annoying. I mean I get netflix and some eye candy in terms of 3.0 but sacrifice the following:
Phone instability. Sometimes not being able to dial out OR accept calls and getting the android.phone FC is SUPER annoying. I even had to pull my battery on a few occasions.
Radio Issues. I never have 4g connection issues living near Seattle and now it fails all the time. My data completely turns off and sometimes I can't turn the mobile network back on other than restarting (using a 2.5 radio)
Streaming Issues. Namely Skyfire no longer streams vids. Don't know if it's simply coincidence or GB doesn't like it. Did read lots of other posts about people having streaming issues tho with Google Music, etc.
I like GB but if all these are the compromises, I'll be going back to Froyo today.

At this point I would flash back to stock. Using Jcase's thread, it's one of the stickies in development.

I had the same problem before, did some searching and found that it was a glitch with peep syncing. Didn't set up peep on the BAMF 3.0 builds and haven't had a single problem. Perhaps you still have some lingering peep stuff and that's causing it (even after a wipe) If you've never touched peep, them I dunno. Just telling you what seemed to fix my phone after the same error.

I'm having the same problem. Tried doing fix permissions in CWM. Never touched Peep. Anyone know if it is a radio problem? I'm using the MR2. Problem occurring on the MR2.5?

I know you said you deleted everything Twitter. But just to make sure, did you unlink your contacts from Twitter. So think of a contact that you call or calls you and you get the FC, look at thier contact info and make sure Twitter for Sense isn't linked.

I'm having the same errors. Do you think using Titanium Backup to freeze Peep and Twitter would help solve the problem?

I had the same issue when i first flashed GB. It showed up after using TiBu to restore apps and app data.
I wiped data and reflashed the rom, and then re-downloaded apps and only used TiBu to restore data for saved games and I haven't received a phone FC since. Hope this helps.

Can I remove the browser, email and messaging apps? I currently have them frozen in TB with no negative outcome. I simply don't use them, ever.

Short answer, yes.

Long answer, yes but it's probably not a good idea to do so.

A lot of things rely on then to function. Freezing isn't the same; I freeze Wifi Calling with no issues but when I try to uninstall it I get constant force closes every second until I do a battery pull, and that's on a bit of propriety software! I sincerely doubt letting Messaging or the like exist is hurting you enough to warrant risking potently annoying problems

I just hate having things installed I don't use, like rom manager and dev tools. Never use either.

Those apps are tied to android system dunno why it wont give fc on freeze since its almost the same as uninstalling them. But ya if you did delete those you would get tons of fc on startup and be forced to do a battery pull and reflash rom or backup.

Because you also need to delete the corresponding .so file in the lib folder.

If you are on a stock rom and delete system apps you can never install any future OTA updates. The updates check all system files first and make sure they are unchanged. If you freeze apps you just defrost them before installing an OTA. If you deleted them then no chance of OTA update, period. If you are not on a stock rom then it doesn't matter. You might wind up with a continuous force close issue that requires reflashing the rom.

I just froze them instead. Maybe before I flash my next rom I'll give it a go.

I got rid of stock browser and tmobile stuff off of my phone and didn't receive FC's.
The downside ro this is if you remove the browser or anything when you do a hard reset it won't be there so you have to rely on a back up and be careful what you unistall.
I learned that the hard way when i first started with android. I unistalled swype since i use SwiftKey but did a hard reset to clear everything out and well i couldn't log in to my google account at the beginning because there was no virtual keyboard to use.

Xda app keeps disappearing

My xda premium app keeps disappearing for some reason maybe its AT&T uninstalling it. Is anyone else having the same issue? I'm currently on non rooted stock rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk

Lol no att is not uninstalling it. By ut keeps disapearing what exactly do u mean you know there is more then 1 home screen right? Is it possible it on one of your other home screens? Did u open the app drawer and scroll through your apps and not see it as well?

I've had this happen myself the past few days ever since I started messing around with some roms. For me, I'd go to click on the app shortcut and it would say it doesn't exist. I'd have to go back into Market and reinstall. Very odd issue and its happened around 3 times.
The last time it happened was when I went back to stock like I am now. I am still rooted though.

Nope. Just had this issue pop up again after I did a nand restore from stock. I couldn't access the app, it no longer showed anywhere on the phone (/system/app, Applications, etc.) and yet the Market showed it was installed. I ended up having to install the free app and then uninstall that to then reinstall the premium one.
Not had an issue like this with any other app.
