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.
Has anyone noticed that the stock G2x comes with some LogMeIn packages(com.logmein.rescue and com.logmein.rescuesecurity) already installed? Anyone know what they are there for? I've yet to see anywhere that I could make use of them, which makes me wonder if they're there for LG or other companies to gain access for whatever reason.

Okay, so T-Mobile is including Logmein Rescue so they can access your machine for support. Personally, I backed it up and deleted it with Titanium Backup. No need for that crap. Everything is working fine.
The two apps are:
com.logmein.rescue 6.3.246
com.logmein.rescuesecurity 6.3.246
Thanks, I just froze them using titanium backup.

I removed them the first day I got the phone. Just use Root Explorer to delete them. I didn't like the sound of it either.
There is a thread about which apps you can delete, like the Tmobile crap, EA Store, games, etc. I posted what the app name was compared to the store and what I deleted without any recourse.
I removed a dozen probably.
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.

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

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 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.

Thanks guys
you need to be rooted
you then need the purchased version of titanium backup
you can then freeze it with titanium
that would be the easiest way without messing anything else up
or u could use bloat freezer. its free but ti backup pro can do so much more

Rooted. But I don't have titanium. Planning to get it next billing period though.
Alright I think I got it, downloaded bloat freezer. Thanks.
I use titanium backup to freeze device health app,but it still running sys.device.health and then i use bloat freeze and freeze device health but got sys.device.health force close then i reboot phone and now it's not running anymore.

Hey guys just saw this on fox 11 news. Looks like its getting a lot of coverage. Is there a way to maybe uninstall it completely? If not then what exactly must were freeze for this to stop working?

there is now an app on the market that targets those of us looking for a CIQ/app freezer...
search the market for 'app freezer' and Bloat Freezer free should show up. It specifically mentions CIQ.
I was able to freeze the app while running on my phone, though it prompted a perpetual FC error. I had to force a reboot but after that verified that it was indeed frozen.
Is it possible to disable their bull**** store? I'm sick of the notification area ads.
I absolutely hate everything the GO people have put out, but I'm stuck using their launcher because of a theme I want. Though if I can't get rid of their store, the theme isn't worth it.

Just uninstll go store simple
It depends o where you have you got the phone from ( if it's locked , or not ) .
If the phone is unlocked in all likelihood you would simply uninstall the app .
If the phone is locked it may not be possible to simply uninstall . You may have to unlock and then get root access . After that you may do as you wish with the apps on your phone . For more details on this subject see the specific forum for your phone .

An "unlocked" phone has nothing to do with your app. Just uninstall or freeze it, simple. Unlocked phones are "unlocked" to be used for other carriers, and is inconsequential to whether you can delete applications.

your device is rooted?
Phone is an atrix, rooted, running CM9.
Couldn't uninstall their store separately from the launcher, but I found a better launcher that accepts go themes. I'm also liking the functionality and tweak-ability more; I get the impression from the GO stuff that it is aimed at iFail converts. The new launcher doesn't have any ads or other crap to push on me either.
Anyone else that is fed up with GO, see

Agreed that GoLauncher in its entirety is pure rubbish. ADW is another good one, at least I like it. Minimalist here, maybe that's why. You should also check out Nova, I hear good things about it as well.

@Op : Go Store is a part of Go Launcher. It can't be disabled, uninstalled or frozen without doing the same to Go Launcher. Your only option is to use an AdBlocker. I recommend AdAway. It's available on the Play Store
