[Q] Any way to remove mini apps completely? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've already removed all the mini apps, but the 'tray' is still there. Is there any way to remove it completely? I keep accidentally pressing it when I'm typing

There is a way to delete them. You can google for a guide to remove them from the Tab 7.7. The same method works on the note. Ive done it but i got careless and deleted the popup player by accident (now my video player crashes when i try to pop it out). Be careful. But yes, no mini apps on my note now

Or, if you don't use snotes and are happy with the alternatives, you could install an AOKP rom from the developement thread... That definately doesn't have the mini apps but you also loose all the samsung stuff too...

Thanks guys! I'll try the first suggestion for now

"On my GT-5100 I removed the pesky Mini Apps Tray by simply renaming /system/framework/minimode.jar to minimode.jar.1 and reboot. By re-renaming the file and rebooting again, the bar works again."
Not my solution, is from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30530262
You need root for that, If someone finds a way without root please share
Edit : or try SureLock from market, read about it here http://www.42gears.com/blog/2012/09/disable-mini-apps-tray-on-samsung-galaxy-tablets/

Is it possible to add apps to the tray? Thanks

I made the same attempt on my N8000 and it worked You obviously need to have your GN rooted to alterate the name "minimode.jar" as it is part of an Read-only memory. Just got FX root explorer to do this job. I can do away with that haunting pop-up stupid bar :- )
Thanks

Galaxy tab ebook app on rooted TF

Hi All, I'm trying to get the Galaxy tab 10.1 ebook apk to work on my rooted TF. It requires that I install "My files" 10.1 apk as a system file as well. I can seem to get it to install. Has anybody tried to get this particular app on their TF. How should I proceed thank you?
Is it even compatible?
You can try adb push it to system/app
Yes I am rooted. Thanks. I used root explorer to get my files into the system app...
Lol, didn't noticed you say you' re rooted. What about permission?
Sometimes when you move file root explorer way you have to manually change permission
Yeah I like the galaxy tab 10.1 reader, the same as on my galaxy tab 7. I tried to install it, but no luck, I think it check for samsung system files. Even by copying the apk directly with root explorer, the app doesn't show.
Edit: well, it does show but it's force closing.
Let us know if you'll manage to get it working.
Yes I have the appropriate permissions in place and read that in order for the ebook apk to work I needed to install my files. The ebook apk boots for a second, showing the shelf and everything, but force closes...
Will let you know, but someone here is bound to have some knowledge, I know it.
I got the apj installed and showing but force closes when I try to import books
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yes we need to have "my files" apk installed in conjunction. However, I can't seem to get it installed. I think the TF may have to be deoxed...not sure why though.
Nope, even on deodex rom it doesn't work, I'm on Prime 1.7.

[Q] Disable Japanese IME

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.

Att LG G3 Carrier IQ Removal Guide

Well I hate carrier IQ and just today I finally got it to 0 using Voodoo Carrier IQ Detector. I got some of it right away using the old G2 method, but I still was not clean so I spent a couple days poking around. Finally I found LADDM.apk.
You need ROOT, this is for the Att version.
Apps:
Android Tuner
Root Explorer (I think Android Tuner has a root exploer too)
More details from adiliyo (Thanks)
ok, for people who are new to this, here is how i did it
download android tuner
click on application manager
click / pivot to apps tab
click the button on the bottom that says user and it will change to system
longpress on android system
click open
click details
pivot to all the tabs and uncheck anything with carrier iq in it
remove lib files
uninstall apk mentioned
presto!
Using Android Tuner go to Apps then Android System. Go through and uncheck all Carrier IQ listings.
Then find LADDM.apk and delete it (Backup first is advised). This is a nasty app, all carrier IQ as far as I can tell and check out the permissions before you delete it, it really looks at how you use your phone.
I also went into System/lib and backed up then deleted the 2 carrier IQ files in there.
Reboot and then run Voodoo Carrier IQ Detector!
Here is my log:

Never used Android Tuner - could you give a more perceise step by step? I have no idea where you are talking about Apps then Android System
could you list the names of the files you unchecked from android tuner as well as in system/lib ?
i haven't been able to find any suspicious files on mine aside from the apk which i uninstalled (thanks!)
EDIT:
ok, i found the libs unsing the voodoo iq detector, everything else looks clean though, all i did was delete the apk...
i only show the libs (which i will delete now) and the boot detection agent that you have still showing as well, so i'm clean?
EDIT 2: as after removing the two iq libs, i get "android system has stopped" and it just looks time for adb
to be clear i had removed "libiq_client.so" and "libiq_service.so" from /system/lib
replacing them got rid of the crash. what am i missing?

if you have root explorer and didn't just delete them (i had moved them to back them up) you can slowly just copy them back (keep pushing ok and clicking on stuff before the error comes up again)
that's what i ended up doing since adb didn't want to see my phone on this computer. took like 10 minutes though...still looking for the files to remove so it works!
EDIT: added the files in case anyone deleted them and needs them
EDIT ok luckilyI saved them to dropbox - took a lot of quick finger movements but got them exported backa nd copied back into Sys Lib
So for anyone wanting to try this, don't just root explorer delete - just an FYI lol

Thank you so much for posting these. I was a dolt and forgot to save a backup copy and just simply renamed the files.

Thanks for the idea! Downloaded the copy of the files in the post above to my work PC, saved them to Dropbox, then spent about 10 minutes furiously tapping on my screen to go to Dropbox app, export the files to the phone, open Root Explorer, select both files, navigate to the \system\lib folder, and paste. As soon as the paste completed, the errors stopped. I think I'll wait until I get home to tinker with this some more....that was a stressful hour trying to figure out how to fix this.

Nailed it thanks! I am thinking they need to be unchecked before you remove the system/lib files. Sorry that some had issues with that. I didnt have any problems that way.

yes, after unchecking it's all fine to remove the libs (probably because system is no longer trying to access the libs!)

l got boot loop and I'm pretty sure I unchecked first. I'm on Att ... same thing happened on a s5 before. I thought it was just the s5, but apparently g3 rigged to crash too without ciq. I deleted on my g2 last year and no problem... Att got smart. Trying to kdz flash as we speak.

My guess is you missed something, I'm running with no issues after removing the libs. Did you go through all the tabs in system to get everything? I think there's like 5 or so items to uncheck.

Here I posted screen shots of everything I've frozen along with everything I've unchecked. This should help you out a bit... Also do it in the following order.
1. Freeze laddm.apk
2. Uncheck all boxes with android tuner
3. Rename lib files to .bak extension

So I'm coming from an iPhone4 and I followed the steps and did all this. Except I just renamed the lib files to .bak but they're still showing up when I run the carrier iq checker. Do I HAVE to delete them? I figured renaming would do the trick just fine...

[Q] Can't install Sketchbook for Galaxy on my Note Pro!

Hello all ...
I just got a note pro (yay!!!) ... but I have one issue: I cant install the sketchbook app.
So the factory rested state of the tablet doesn't already have it completely installed, so t asks me to download and install it. But when I click on install, nothing happens. Not pops up or downloads.
On the other hand if I go to the screen mirroring app, which is similar in that it needs to download and install - when I click on install button, it actually works. A download popup opens.
So please help me! Thanks everybody!!!
Have you tried going through Galaxy Apps? Because that's where you have to download it from if I recall correctly.

And in galaxy apps, what do I search ... becuase there is no app called sketchbook for galaxy?
I figured it out ... had to sign in and stuff. Thanks anyway.

[Q] Reinstall "Samsung Apps" possible?

Hey Guys,
i got a little Problem with "Samsung Apps" on my Galaxy s6 (Stock Rom Android 5.0.2).
I rooted it, and thougt i should delete some of the System Apps. I also removed "Samsung Apps" thinking i won't need it.
After i wanted to download some Camera features i got the error : "com.sec.android.app.samsungapps is disabled", but i can't enable it ( yeah, maybe beacause its gone)
So i tried reinstalling it, using the Apk from this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/hot-galaxy-s6-apps-t3041330
not functioning "Can't install the App"
also i tried getting the apk from the Stock "app" folder or "priv app" of the system dump, and copying the folders on my S6 device (to the same path)
http://zidroid.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s6-g920fxxu1aobn-system-dump/
still not able to reinstall. Reboot didn't change anything.
So last but not least, a factory reset didn't work either.
It has cleared everything and set the device to default settings etc, but "samsung Apps" is still not listed anywhere.
The question: does anyone have a clue how to reinstall it ? or do i have to download the Stock Image and flash it ?
Thanks for your time

I think the proper section for this would be the Q&A forum. Anyway, if you copy the app make sure to set the right permissions. In any case, if you flash a stock image over the one you have now, the problem should be solved. If it's not solved, a factory reset after that should fix it.

Ok thanks for the hint with the permissions.
I used der folder /system/priv-app/
and copied the Galaxy_Apps_3xh_zero.apk to my S6 path.
installing still wasn't working after setting the permissions ro rw-r-r- (like the other working apps)
i'm not sure, but i think it's something like an autostart path, so rebooting the phone after these steps, fixed my problem.
thread can be closed or whatever
(orry i'm new , whats happening after solving a problem :|
