Hi guys!
I want to get rid of anything remembering me to facebook in my Desire HD.
With Titanium backup i was able to remove the facebook (sys) app and the HTC widget app.
The "send to via facebook" links disappeared but there is still a facebook button like in the screenshot i sent here:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/21/screenjo.jpg
(it's not allowed for me to post clickable links because i'm new here)
Rom Cleaner is not an option right now because i don't want to flash at the moment.
Please have understanding for my wish to get rid of facebook because i hate it so much.
Thanks in advance,
Tuxxxer
Are you rooted?
I too have removed everything "social networking" from my phone. "Root app remover" works well.
Edit: just realized If you removed a system application then I'm assuming you are rooted. Hopefully someone can help you out better..

Thanks a lot mrrick. I am thankful for every reply
Yes my phone is rooted. I use the latest Leedroid rom 3.3.1
I also don't like the whole social stuff but at this moment i don't know if i have ever use stuff like flickr. But one thing i know for sure.. i will never ever have a facebook account! This is simply annoying for me.
Cant you just delete Thema apk?

You can move the facebook apk´s from /system/apps to your sdcard. If that doesn´t remove everything from facebook you can at least move the apk´s back to /system/apps. So you can try another method.
Just switched from victory to lithium and there is no media gallery. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to download one from the market. Or if someone could post a link for a good gallery I could download! Thanks!
more bugs
Another thing, it won't allow a Facebook sync...is anyone else experiencing these problems?
QuickPic > any oem media gallery known to Android
I don't use Facebook but I was having issues syncing Google music. Wifi wasn't working for me and the pattern lock was all messed up too.

You could extract a ROM and grab a gallery apk from that and copy it to /system/app folder. Just make sure and change to the correct permissions after you move it there.

I've no gallery either, and also the camera is giving me glitches. It seems like I can take pictures just fine, but am unable to record video. It force closes after every attempt. Pattern unlock is glitched for me as well.

I dont know how you guys feel, but no facebook sync or stock gallery means no good. I tried fixing it and after hours of work I decided to try out the Sonya v2
Sorry this was my fault, dont know how I missed the gallery, will have that fixed by tonight after work. Facebook has synced with me everytime and I'm not having any issues with google music as well. I use these everyday and are a must as well. Patternlock on the other hand is a different story. I will look into it.
A note on Facebook, if you are trying to add the account like you do your Google account you can't. Just use the app from the market. It works well and I have found it more reliable this way
Had the same problems setting up yahoo, fb and twit from add accounts.I ended up getting apps from market worked out fine.
This will b a great rom when u get the gallery work out.Been running it for about 24 hours now with pretty heavy use and battery is at 27 not bad at all.installed at 95

JRW, are you experiencing the camcorder issues or is that just me? Also I just wanna say great ROM otherwise.
Edit: Also is there a way that you could get Contacts sync from the Facebook app to work? I've seen other Android phones do that with a non-modified Facebook app; I think there's something involved with blur that tells the app not to give us that option.

Yes I am and I'm hoping it is due to me forgetting to install the gallery in the Rom as everything was working fine on my test version. I will have an update out tonight after work.
I removed a lot of the blur accounts have you tried using just the app from the market? It has been working for me

I am using the app from market and that works just fine; except that it doesn't offer contact sync (on a non-blur phone the Facebook app usually offers an option for contact sync...)

The updated version will have all of the accounts added back to it...
Right, I'm a PowerAMP pro user, but with a pretty old phone. The latest app is working but it's slow and sometimes lags. The poweramp site also offers the old 1.4 version which works right for me. Now, all is fine and dandy but I;m a bit annoyed by the app always showing up there to be updated. So I searched for a method to detach the app from the market and learnt that the bug has been solved long ago and apps can't be detached. So I tried changing the app's signature, of course with no luck, my android dev skills being close to absolute zero.
So I ask you, is there any way to do this? I am not pirating the app, so don't worry
I'm also trying to convince the developer to make an unsigned version of the app specifically for old timers like me, but with no success until now..
Just use LBE Privacy guard and freeze internet connection permission for this particular app..
So it will not connect to net and not telling you that new version is available..
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

If it doesnt need to connect to the internet for anything else you could use droidwall to block it from accessing the playstore
If your rooted you could use blackmart to download the app and never have to update it
Or see the updates notifications saying there's an update

I know Titanium Backup can detach apps, though I am not sure if it is available in the free version. However, I do recommend the paid version of Titanium Backup anyway.

I have never been able to make that function actually work and I've tried with several apps that I don't want updates for.

On a related note, is there a way to remove apps from the "My Apps"list? It is really annoying to have to scroll through a list of apps containing tons of apps that you may have tried for a while and then uninstalled when you need to reinstall something. And why is the "My Apps" list in random order and not alphabetical?

As far as I know (and after some quick Googling), there is no way to remove any apps from the giant "My Apps" list. However, I use the Appbrain android market replacement, and it lets you customize your lists and sort them better. You can remove devices from view though.

Thanks, I will definitely look into that and continue to research the issue as well. If I find any other solutions, I won't hesitate to post an update.

Hello!
I am using Tipo on stock ROM firmware .22.
I have already deleted some apk using Titanium Backup.
My goal is to delete all unwanted apps. For example I deleted Twitter.
How far can we go?
Anyone deleted already Facebook?
I think it could be fun to push the borders...

Did the deletion of Facebook have any negative effects? I just freezed it, did not deleted right now, because I'm afraid of negative effects...

No it didn't have any probs. But I don't know what will happen if you direct browser to Facebook. (Most likely it will open in desktop mode). Anyhow I don't use Facebook

I've seen this exact problem no where else on the internet. I'm flabbergasted.
Google drive refuses to open any document at all on my sidekick, and no one else on the internet has gotten this error message.
"Google Documents Error
Google documents has encountered an error. Please try reloading the document."
I'm using Ricandroid's NexusJB. I would post in his thread but I can't post in development yet. Its a great build otherwise and I'd like to avoid having to reinstall from scratch. Anyone else have this issue?
I do not have this problem. Do you have your Google account set up to sync in Settings>Accounts and Sync?
Yep, it is. Gmail and talk and contacts all work. I'm thinking its some kind of incapability with memory resources maybe? Its a blank denial on all doc types. I wish I were better at coding and linux to figure this out, but I'm too much of a newbie atm.

Might be a server problem; have you tried again? Also see this page for some possible fixes: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/drive/ifONR5aCqSc/Sg0hZrbVQXcJ
Yeah I have, multiple times. I thought it may be droidwall but like the poster in your link says, it does load a docs list and allows me to make a doc offline. I didn't find this after many searches.. thanks for that.

Yeeeah so it was droidwall. I found out after uninstalling it. I guess it was lying when it said it was allowing google drive. I think google drive relies upon other internet processes to function besides itself.
Thanks for your input!
Edit: Nope!
I thought it was droidwall, but I had uninstalled google drive at the same time. It seems its the new update that breaks drive functionality.
It seems the solution is to block updates. Google drive conveniently offers that functionality in its settings.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app
Google Drive partially works right now when updated but the reason you can't open your documents may be that one of libs is missing in your /system/lib directory. They could have added more in the update that are otherwise seperated from the old version on your system memory.
Just a though I have had the problem once before, but I can't remember exactly how I fixed it.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app
The latest version of Drive works fine for me. I did not have it installed at all, so I had a fresh install (not an update). Maybe try removing it completely (not just the updates) and reinstall. Is your Drive installed as a system app or user app? If it's a system app, you'll need to use something like Titanium Backup to remove it.
This would make sense. It is an uninstall able system app, so maybe the updates libraries are broken by that.
I'm reluctant to try uninstallong with titanium as its working now. Ehh I'll probably do it in a bit and let you guys know.
Would you know how to find out which libraries Drive uses, zydrate?
Edit: Aaand its broke again and I forgot to make a backup... whoops.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app
I think google drive app that comes with ricandroid's nexus JB is the only one that will really work. Does anyone know if he packagaes google apps with it? If I could find the right package for the sidekick I could avoid a rom reinstall maybe.
I'm surprised there are barely any other sidekick users with this problem!! I'll post later to let you guys know if that holds true, and if a titanium backup would restore an uninstalled google drive's functionality.
It doesn't make sense to me that only the Drive app that ricandroid bundled with his nexusJB ROM would work. If that were the case, then anytime the app updated from the Play Store, it would break, and as you said, no one else seems to have a problem with it. I think the problem is on your device--maybe a dependency has gotten corrupted or gone missing. But you could always send ricandroid a private message and ask him what version he used, if he modified it, etc. You said it's working right now, so why not make a backup of it in case it starts acting up again?
I though it was working.... but it wassnt.
I finally reinstalled the JB build, which for some reason kind of made it faster?? Maybe a second wipe freshened it up.
Google drive was working initially, I tried updating it, it broke it again, and a titanium backup restored functionality successfully. So I still don't know what's wrong. Maybe a slightly corrupted ROM?
Ill try messaging ricandroid one of these days.

I don't know why the update keeps breaking Drive. I posted a query on the nexusJB thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162745 for you. We'll see what responses we get.
Wow, thanks man!!! Almost up to 10 posts though! Haha.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app
The only response so far is that someone saw on g+ that several people still running 2.x are having an issue with google drive. Of course, everyone using the SK4G is still on 2.2. May just be a random issue.
I got another response that someone is using ES File Explorer File Manager to access Google Drive. I didn't know you could do that, but apparently you can access a lot of cloud services using that app (which is a good one, and free). Just search for it in the Play Store.

I was watching the thread. Just posted in there as well now that I'm up to 10 posts. Thanks for your help with this, but I think I'll just stick to having updates disabled. Whatever google drive is being updated with, its nothing I can see as it has perfect functionality.
