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

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.

Haha. Good call. I had a feeling a thread would show for this.
When I opened amazon and saw watchdog, I swear, the 'get app' button practically pushed itself.
It's days like this that make checking the daily free app of the day on amazon pay off.

It will have you add a payment option to your account, but the free apps are never charged to the card.
Once you've added the payment option, it won't ever ask for it again, unless you purchase a paid app.
It's Amazon's way of covering their rearends.

Yes. This is what discourages me from using Amazon App Store. So I turn on 1 click, do the purchase, and turn it back off right away. Amazon does not refund. So very high chance of accidental purchases that would not be refunded.
When I first installed the Amazon app store, I download an always free app. I didn't like it, so I uninstalled it. Now it is always in my apps list with the option to install it. Does anyone know how I can remove it? I tried searching for an answer but can't find one.

Amazon works differently, while market installs apps when you click Ok, amazon downloads the app and then asks for install... You can just cancel it.
Or if you are scared then install and remove immediately after that using easy uninstaller app.

If I download the app and hit cancel, would I need to navigate to it with a file explorer like Astro and click to install it? Or, will canceling cause the app not to be saved? How is Easy Uninstaller different from the stock uninstaller, other than how you can uninstall more than one app at a time?

You don't have to trust anyone here. But you sure seem to when receiving other advice in the numerous threads you've posted asking for our help. Now you're not so sure... Lol
Just go read about it on the market. Check how many times watchdog lite has been downloaded, and read the reviews people have posted on its market page.
And then make your own informed decision.

You might have heard that Google was rolling out a new Android Market, complete with book and movie rentals. You also might have heard it would coming in the next few weeks. Well thanks to an anonymous source (possibly with a time machine) you can grab it today.
Hit the download link, and install it from your SD card like any other app. Fair warning -- we don't know if there will be any complications from doing this, but we haven't seen any so far. Use your best judgement. Discuss it in the forums!

Why bother with any software or plugging your phone in to install an APK? It all seems a bit unnecessary. I just chrome-to-phoned the dropbox URL and bam app installed.

If your running tpgb ninja your rooted, so you don't need the sideload machine, just go to settings>applications>and check unknown sources. Then put this apk on your sd card and use file manager (an app installed in ninja) to select it and install.
Oh, and i am running ninja 7061. but i think i might just go back to stock CM
FOr people who want old market follow these steps:
(Originally Posted By:Chris Chavez of Phandroid)
Go into your phone’s Settings
Select “Manage Applications”
Select the “All” tab at the top
Scroll down to Market app and select it
Select “Uninstall Updates”
Now have your old Market back!

If that fails, install gapps via rom manager>download ROM>gapps

It's not a "method" really, it's just.. installing the app, the same way you would any APK. Doesn't matter how you get the url to the APK to your phone (email, chrome to phone, typing it in by hand).

Well I call it a method so nah! . I just hadn't thought of using it that way.
Disclaimer: I know I can root and use Titanium backup to freeze this app or remove it.
But I'm wondering if there's any way to kill/freeze/stop this app without root. It keeps starting up by itself and it's annoying. I'm not sure why AT&T gave us the ability to remove any apps at all if they were going to force us to leave this turd on there.
If its locked you need root to get rid of it.

Nah, I tried it. It's ROM locked. For some reason, that one and the NFS Shift demo are locked, but you can uninstall Family map and a few others. The problem with ready2go is that it autoruns periodically and it's not something you'll ever use again (if you even use it once).
Well I dont know if it was an app i downloaded or what because it did not start happening dirrectly after a download or installation but my phone about every week adds what appear to be app shortcuts to my desktop (launcher thing). one is titled Search and has a picture of the android guy. The other is always some game. These appear to be just links. Also in my notification bar, if i pull it down, there is an add there too. "Meet hot singles" was this week. Is there any app or method to detect which app is doing this? I already downloaded Adfree and Airblocker hoping that it would deny this suspicious activity.
You may need an app called AirPush detector. I would start there. Otherwise, retrace your steps and uninstall whatever you have only had on the phone for a little while
Or just wipe data and start fresh. Get rid of the junk you never use while your at it.
Or there's that
Well i have not tried the airpush detector and it is the kind of thing i wanted , i am considering wiping data soon too, i was thinking of doing that. I end up downloading so many programs and I'm like, I will so use this. Then i never use it.
