Did you check with either esExporer or Root Explorer, to make sure that you did remove all traces of Flip? That might be causing your problem?

Try using sd maid from the store. It's found files that I just seemed to be unable to with an explorer. It's got a good search feature & I just used the free version.

Layar won't uninstall

So, I never had this problem before.
Usually if I uninstall an app through TB and it still shows in my app drawer,a simple reboot will make it go away.
But this time it's different.
I'm trying to uninstall Layar (bloat), through TB, buy it always comes back to my app drawer. Reboots won't make it go away. And if I click on it, instead of force closing, like an uninstalled app showing on your drawer usually does, it works normal.
As if it was never uninstalled!
I even tried looking for it with root explorer, to remove it manually, but I can't find it in system/app.
Any suggestions?
I think it may be bundled with maps now.

Weird.
But that would explain it.
Never really understood what it does though.
So, if I uninstall maps from my system, and then install it from the market, do you know if it would still be bundled?
Just try it! Remember cleaning dalvik cache after removing. Thwn install maps and see. Trial and error!

Just got a maps update and still no layer. I would say keep trying to get that crap out if there

I removed it with just Titanium. Another solution would be removing it completely before you flash a ROM.
You could try using Bloat Freezer (on the market) to freeze Layar. Worked fine for me (though technically it doesn't remove it, it just renames the apk so Android can't see it). It's worth a shot.
Have you tried sgstools?

Adw EX settings

I'm using Adw EX when I reboot the theme will halfass reset. Meaning the icons will be half and half and themes without a dock will have a dock image. I know it isn't Adw because the other phone I use it on never does this. It doesn't matter what rom this always happens. All ideas are welcome except telling me to use go, it doesn't have the ability to only have four dock icons.

I'm using adw ex(got it on sale) and had a issue such as this only once, after re-installing issue went away(think it had something to do with the titanium backup)... Have you done the usual, writes and fix permissions?

Easy flashable Google Now zip now available for ics roms

I wanted to share this with everyone, I tried it on eriks miui and it works great. Make sure you fix permissions in recovery after flashing.

Read the instructions in the op for installing just the Apk it's much simpler to flash the full package.

Flashing puts the files where they belong installing attempts to place the application in data which offs not the right place for Google Now

I installed it, opened it once and totally forgot about it. It drains battery a lot and I can't find any use at the moment. I will do some research.

You can dictate text messages, tell it to play any artist or song from your music collection, ask it the whether, to search stuff for you. I like the voice activated music more than anything for driving.

To any one else using, it says it's supposed to wake up when you say GOOGLE at one of the screens but can't seem to get it to do it? anyone else been able to get this feature to work?

Saying GOOGLE has worked for me in the past. You have to have hot word detection turned on in the settings. I have not used it recently, but it is definitely a sweet app.

[APP] New Jelly Bean Clock app 4.2

Thanks to jujuburi
Found this here
All functions appear to work, Notification pull-down was causing it to crash, however, backing-up and removing the original clock from /system/app and rebooting has EVERYTHING working as it should!
I installed this manually by moving it into /system/app with Root Explorer and changing permissions to rw-r--r--
You might be more comfortable using the flashable zip from the original thread!?

Is there a widget for this app? I don't see it.
Edit: oh I see it I guess it's only a analog clock.

Did you re-boot, that should get rid of the f/c
Reboot doesn't help :/
That's surprising, it may be to do with CM10, I have this running without problem on Blackbean-6 .
Did you definitely remove DeskClock.apk?
Yeah, but I found this app in play store and it's great, i actually prefer it over the 4.2 one

Have you tried going to settings>apps and clearing the cache & data from 'Clock' then reboot, give that a go if not!
All the best

Ez-Recovery problem?

Ok I don't know how it happen but as you can see the part that say flash is gone any advice, I've uninstalled and installed twice, erase data, and even tried titanium back up nothing works, am I missing something, oh I'm in clean Rom 2.1.
I cannot scroll down as you can see that part is missing.

instead of trying to flash clockwork mod try selecting TWRP and see if the flash button pops up
How would I do that? Sorry never used anything but cwm

Idk what happened here, did you maybe change the pixel density of your rom? I've never encountered an app glitch like this before.
Alternatively, if you want to use a different recovery then you could install TWRP Recovery using "GooManager" in the Play Store. Just hit Menu then select Install OpenRecoveryScript to install TWRP, it's all touch and fairly simple from there. Your pre-existing backups aren't compatible from CWM though.

Thanks for all the help guys,I just installed fast reboot, which takes me to the recovery like cwm. Guess I'll use that didn't change pixel thing, don't know how lol is there a way to check?

You would know the pixel density is changed because you have to manually change it in the build.prop. You don't need to worry about it since you didn't do it. Plus, changing pixel density would alter the way your home screen and each app is displayed so it wouldn't be just one app that looked different.
