Is there a way to disable, or completely remove, the Japanese IME in ICS?
It gets pretty annoying if you accidentaly switch to it and have to go to settings - input to switch it back.
I'm using CyberGR's ICS ROM, but the IME is present in I believe all ICS ROMs besides stock and the checkbox associated with it is greyed out.
Thanks.
you need to freeze or uninstall "openWnn'. After freezing or uninstalling you need to reboot and it is gone! Download a good file manager with a search option to search for openWnn or if you are rooted install root explorer and search for it.
good luck
Thanks, disabling the app worked well. Is it safe to delete it from the ROM package as well?
I believe it is but I just froze it

yes , you can delete /system/app/OpenWnn.apk in the zip file before you install and other thing you don't need , but be careful with anything related with google.

I downloaded and installed an new ime which supports hand-writing input. It seems istalled ok and running. When i tried to input something, the tap' n tap keyboard always shows up and i can't use the new one. Do i need to remove the tap 'n tap first?
Assuming you're running either stock VS TnT or TnTlite, search the forums for replacement/alternative keyboards, there are two ways of activating installed alternative input method, one involves temporarily flashing stock android settings app, enabling your keyboard and flashing VS TnT settings back, second requires modifying the permissions via adb shell or something similar. I personally find flashing stock settings app is easier. Reboot, flash stock, reboot, go to settings, put a checkbox next to your keyboard(s), reboot, flash VS app, reboot, your keyboard is now activated and can be selected.
Once your input method is activated, long press on input box will display a popup where you can switch input method from TnT to yours. You don't need to remove TnT keyboard, you can switch to any (activated) keyboard on the fly using this long press technique.

Which firmware is on your Gtab? Also which IME?
You can try copying the apk file from /data/app to /system/app, then reboot.

I think you will need to modify apk's permission bits after copying to fully activate it. It is in the forums somewhere...

Hi Guys,
I have updated my X10 Mini Pro with Google Maps 5.0, it updated fine without any errors whatsoever... but the problem is the Compass Mode button that you can tap above doesn't show. there's no bar above the map (see attachment).
I dont really care about the 3D thing, I just need the Compass Mode feature so the map would automatically rotate and follow the orientation im facing based on the built in compass.
Anyone knows the solution?
thanks!!
GMM5.0 runs in 2D/raster mode on most devices. Try this version to enable 3D/vector mode: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9868137#post9868137

Wow thanks man! Ill be trying this one out later. I have a few questions:
1) I don't need my phone to be rooted, right?
2) Im thinking of uninstalling the GMM 5.0 update that I have to bring it back to the stock GMM first, before I install your version of GMM, is that good?
3) Your version is also uninstallable without taking out the stock GMM, right? (just in case it doesn't work on my X10 Mini Pro)
Thanks!
If you don't have a root and original GMM is a system app (it was installed by default), then unfortunately you won't be able to install above file, sorry.

on second thought, if i root my phone and use titanium backup to uninstall the GMM systam app, would that allow me to install your modified GMM 5.0?

Yes, if you uninstall original GMM, then you should be able to install above modded GMM. And you should not have any problem with uninstalling it later. People sometimes has problems, cause they install modded GMM as system app - they copy it to /system/app instead of installing it like any other app.

Installed flawlessly. But compass mode still not available!! Is there anyone that got this to work successfully on x10 mini pro?
Hello,
If an application doesn't have an uninstall button is there a way to remove it?
I'm specifically wanting to remove the market app. I think I screwed it up when I installed it and it's completely useless. This isn't a "market fix" situation, it won't open for me at all. I tap, get a quick screen flash and it goes right back to home screen.
I was wondering if I could uninstall, then try to re-apply properly and hopefully get a better result.
Thanks.

Guessing here... depending on the version you're running.
Settings | Applications | Manage Applications | Running | select Market | force-stop | uninstall
I'm running the stock 3389 firmware.
Market shows up under system applications, no uninstall button. I can do force stop but that's it.
**
Maybe I don't need to bother trying to uninstall or remove the market. I'm reading through the enhancement thread now, I haven't installed that yet. Could be what I need to get the market working.
using Root Explorer, if you don't have it, get it otherwise you'll have to do this using adb shell or terminal, /system/app, mount r/w, rename Vending.apk to Vending.apk.bak that will uninstall vending. I would do a data/cache wipe using TI first on Market. Then reboot and rename back to Vending.apk, I've had to reinstall it before due to issues.

I was using stock 3389 and of course w/o the market. After I installed the enhancement package and did the market fix according to the instructions I now have the market and it works fine as does the gtab itself. I have a feeling if you did the same it may fix your problem. If not, at least you'll have the updated tegra drivers. Good luck!
Hi
i sucessfully rooted my oppo r7 plus. I remove some bloatwares like o cloud, keep and some unwanted apps.... After remove i reboot the phone.... But afterthat no more apps on screen. Nothing.

You should install Root Explorer and remove file apps in SYSTEM/APPS

Have you done this yourself? I doubt it, because this will brake your ColorOS as it just did mine Deleted Google Keep and no icons on my screen now. I was lucky that I had other launcher installed so I could change the default one in settings.

Hi everyone.
Running stock OP6 latest update.
Installed settings app from apk mirror and now the same won't open up instead keeps stopping again and again.
Since it won't open I can't uninstall it.
Anyone has a clue what to do about it?
Thanks in advance.
Edit. Same happening with dialer and contacts app.
Both updated through apk mirror.
Although Camera, Gallery and Files app work perfectly fine.
Anyone with an answer?
How to revert back to previous app version?
Edit : Finally had to reset my device and things settled. Although all my data is gone.
I suppose just too bad for me.
But I'm facing a pesky issue.
The files app shows no data but my gallery is picking up old garbage even after wiping the device clean. (Foolish of me not backing up the data)
PS I used the hard reset if anyone's wondering using the device's stock recovery.
I'll share the screenshot of the same..
Kindly suggest what's wrong with this..
i think u can uninstall app from the app drawer. long press the settings icon , and click uninstall if the options is available. if it isn't , u can re flash the whole rom by dirty flashing it. it shouldn't wipe the data.
As Azhar_Fahry mentioned, you can uninstall an app / app update from app drawer.
1. Tap and hold to get the options
2 (if OP launcer is updated), drag the icon to top (from app drawer) and you can select app info and then uninstall updates.
Alternatively,
You can install Link2SD and uninstall app / app updates from there.

Again system apps can't be uninstalled normally.
Secondly I'm not rooted to used link2SD.
I think need to dirty flash my phone.
System apps cannot be uninstalled if not rooted, but you can uninstall updates installed from play store or any external source. (You can reset the system app(s) to Rom default)
Attaching Scrrenshots - Follow from 1-end, click OK at the end. ( I am showing example of gmail, you can use it for any other systrm app too)
Naming screenshots 1-2-3-4-5 according to steps.
Uninstall updates to the settings app maybe. But if not dirty flashing the ROM will work
