How can I remove Facebook Home?!? - General Questions and Answers

Just installed Butterz Sense on my HTC Evo V 4G (Awesome ROM), but I elected to try out Facebook Home... Someone help me remove it now? It's not in my list of apps to remove, never ran in to this before... Do I really need to re-install the ROM without selecting FaceBook Home?
Any help appreciated!

Does titanium backup find your app? If not, go to /system/app and if it's there, delete it. Be sure not to delete something else.

Titanium backup doesn't work right on our Captivate...If you want it back the only way I know of is to use the Odin3 stock ROM restore...Look at the stickies in the development section..

Thanks for the response. I have done the Odin 3 restore before, just thought there was an easier way.
Not that I don't believe you, but I would think that the "remove AT&T bloatware" thread would have mentioned that Titanium backup doesn't work. Why bother uninstalling as opposed to deleting if you can't put it back.
Thanks for the news, even if it is not what i wanted to hear.
Although it cannot help you now, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734163 is the way to go. In layman's, it will image your phone for you to restore it in case something like this happens.
You would have had to make an image with the program still installed in order to restore it back, hence why it won't help you now. For future reference though, the options are endless with Rom Manager.
There is a stock rom floating around the forum, maybe someone can extract the app from it and you can sideload it.
Out of curiosity, why do you want it back? I will start removing the junk I don't want from my phone soon and this was one of those apps. Is there a bad sideeffect from removing it or you just simply want that feature back?
I will probably reflash again sometime soon, so no worries. It is easy enough.
The only reason i wanted it back was to use it in the DeskDock app - it is not a great widget on the home screen, but if you want to set weather or calendar in the DeskDock app, you need the widget.

Removing System Apps - 2.1 ONLY

How Do you remove all those unwanted apps?
Titanium takes forever just to uninstall one app for me.
How do you do it using ADB or Terminal?
Titanium takes about 3 seconds for me if that, don't know how to do it with adb though.
I did this a while back, Maybe useful for you:

Lol I tried that, but it kept saying permission denied or something like that.
2.1 seems a bit buggy at the moment so may just have been that.
I've been freezing the apps I'm thinking of getting rid of to ensure removing them won't cause problems. If I don't run into any issues over a few days, I'll wipe em.
Might be a nice idea to get a list of what apps can and can't be deleted in 2.1 though.
Just delete the apks and factory reset

I deleted some wallpaper application and while I, unfortunately, cannot recall its name it basically disabled the feature to have any wallpaper at all and just resets everything by default to the stock blue one. Could anyone upload the file? That would be greatly appreciated.

i had this problem. but i found the solution to be:
after rooting, uncheck debugging, reload titanium (use builtin app function), enable debugging again.
Contacts.apk
Someone has that one ?

I don't know about removing T-Mobile backup (unless if you want to reinstall it again)! Black Ice 2 needs it for contacts to sync! Off-topic, but of relative importance!

you can use Titanium backup to backup and restore contacts. i'm not sure if you want that service running in the background the whole time!
I've removed Tmobile backup. I have all my contacts saved on my gmail account, which sync's to my phone, so there is no need for the T-mobile stuff.
You can use Bloat Freezer (Paid) in the market, and use TitaniumBackup (Free or Paid) in the market to back up contacts if you want to remove T-Mobile Contacts Backup.
I just save my contacts onto my sd card by selecting "export to sd" and after I flash the new rom I just select " import from sd" and bam, all my contacts are back in place.

Use root uninstaller to get rid of anything you dont want.
use titanium backup make a backup and uninstall just in case u wanna re install and wrong forum to post this in honestly.
root app remover
or
Fast uninstaller
both work well. google for list of tmobile you can uninstall!
FotaFix also removes extra fota software you don't need in your on-phone memory
Yep, jst root and remove bloatware with titanium backup. But as the other guys said, dealwith ur contacts first.

how to Delete DICE App permanately

i have a htc sensation 4g, tmo phone. I am trying to delete this app called DICE and i cant find a way on how to permanently delete it, i dont even use it at all...
CAN SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME....
by the way, the phone is rooted...
Use an explorer like root explorer and go into system\apps. You will find the apps there. Simply delete the apk file and it is gone for good! I am like you. When I flash a rom I delete all the apps I dont need. So far using stock rom 1.50 rooted, I have had it on now for about 36 odd hours and still sitting at 50% battery. Oh the other place you can delete downloaded apps from is \data\apps.

Titanium Backup allows you to delete system apps. I believe you have to enable an option called "Chuck Norris mode" inside it to be able to, though.
Nah you can just click the app in TB and his Delete. Itll ask if you're sure and then it destroys it, regardless of mode.
TB pro lets you freeze apps though, removing them without actually removing them.

[Q] is there a way

I need to reinstall the com.android.accessibility settings back on my phone. Does anyone know if there is a way to reinstall a file like that if it has been deleted? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How did you lose it? Do you have the file? If so, did you do a backup in TB or in another manner that you re-install it?

I was removing bloat and exporting files and accidentally deleted as opposed to exporting. I've been checking in root explorer to see if I can find it anywhere, but no luck. My brother picked up the same phone today, so I'll have access to the file, but is there a way to reinstall it that you know of? Thank you

Did you do a Titanium Back-up (TB) by any chance? If so, you can restore it from there. If you don't have TB I would highly recommend it as it has saved my ass on occasion.
If you don't have a TB of it you might be able to use root explorer and put the file in the proper folder location and then set the permissions correctly. Otherwise you may have to "push" it with ADB.

I have TB, but didn't back up at that time. Is there a way to put it in the folder if I can't even find it on the system folders in root explorer, or well I need to try and do a return to stock, which seems more challenging the lg.

If you get the file from your bro, you can then move it to the correct location and set the permissions. Get the location from him. If it were me, I would just go back to stock. It really isn't that hard. I've done it on all the phones whether it's Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony, etc... That's just me though. LOL

Thank you both for your help. I was able to finally do a reset and go back to stock. So I started from scratch, this time with a backup. Thank you.
