I wanted to uninstall Google search and reinstall it as a user app so I could greenify it. Searching Google, I found that you can use an app called RootAppDelete to delete system apps. I installed it and went over to the System Apps option, but I wasn't able to find Google Search in there. Is it renamed to something different or is there another way to uninstall Google Search?

you can do it with titanium backup for example. freezing, uninstalling or user/ system app switching will work with tb.
BUT be carefull! you need another launcher, before uninstalling the google search. the build in search bar will result in a bootloop if the app isn't available anymore.

I've always just let my apps automatically restore but I would like to use my backup of apps with my backup pro. But once they restore they don't show downloaded in the market. How can I change this?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Go to settings > applications > manage applications > all - find market and google framework services. Clear cache/data for both...reboot. Open market.
Wait a few mins and all the apps will show up in the downloaded section.
This was happening to me yesterday.
I went to Manage Applications->All->Market, and then clicked "Force Stop", and then "Clear Data". I reloaded the market, accepted the terms, and everything showed up again.
If just clearing the data doesn't work, force stop it and then clear. That worked for me.
okay guys that worked, thanks. I have another question though now, so because I didn't want my apps to automatically install, I used my alternate gmail account(the one my paid apps aren't associated with) to first log in with the market so I could download My Backup Pro. After restoring my apps, I logged into my original main gmail(the one the paid apps are associated with) and my paid apps still haven't showed up. What can I do to make them show up?

Hard reset / wipe and use the right Gmail first.
Sorry but the first one you put on is the one and only Gmail linked to the market. You must use that one if you want your paid apps.
Also: I know you use my backup.. but titanium backup has a "market doctor" feature that finds missing market links and lets you re-establish them.

Seems the newest version if Gmail blocks third party apps from being used with it. Meaning, I use email notifier app with my gmail, and now it force closes. Anyone have an older version of gmail available?

my launcherpro gmail widget stopped working too after the upgrade
Just uninstall the update, then use tibu to remove market link.

Not sure what you mean. Use tibu to remove market link? My only bu of gmail is the current version, since I recently did a tibu bu. Hoping to find an older version somewhere

If anyone needs this, it's an older version of gmail that doesn't force close third party apps. Thanks to Sword of a thousand truths for finding this.

I would Like to disable Play Store, Maps, Facebook, Hotmail, What's new and Some other 3rd party application from starting up with the phone. I would like to kepp these applications and only disable it's startup during booting. Anyone have a Solution.
I also dont want to delete or freeze them just to exclude apps from starting on boot.Help would be appreciated.
Guys Titanium Backup and ROM Toolbox are a few that does the job. Try them
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
Some update guys?!
Have you tried those applications? Did you solved your problems?
I tried Titanium and only did freeze app, not exclude from booting, didn't try ROM toolbox will do.
Did try to disable using System tuning pro. It disables the app completely. In a way I could stop LG's crappy App's.
I use Super Manager,it also has a function of disabling startup items.
There are many apps can do this . If you want the best app it's called "startup manager"
Or you can use "system tuner"

I use Gemini App Manager, I am unable to change all "Auto Run" options disabling any app I want from auto running for whatever reason, including but not limited to the device booting. I have changed all non essential apps to only run when I launch them. I use gemini for a lot of things, including copying apps from phone to SD and/or back to phone, uninstalling, etc. Its a great little app.
I think this seems like the right thread for me... I'm running ICS 4.0.3 on a factory rooted 7" Craig CMP741e tablet (CVS special, starter tab, AnTuTu rating about 4300). This is my first tablet, so I'm learning as I go. I want to try to speed up boot time. I'm running ES Task Manager. I've already disabled all non-system files from starting on boot, I just want to know which of these system files I can safely disable from the startup list without hurting anything:
Aldiko Premium
Calendar Storage
Contacts
Download Manager
Email
Exchange Services
GetJar
GMail
Google Contacts Sync
" " Partner Setup
" " Services Framework
Maps
Media Storage
MusicFX
YouTube
Those are all the ones that ES is suggesting I keep enabled. I don't want to actually remove any of them from my tablet, I just don't want them wasting any memory and causing lag until I actually choose to use them. It's a beginner tablet, just trying to squeeze as much performance out of it as possible.

If I type a search word in the url bar of the stock browser, it won't load. Instead it'll take me to Google.com. I had to download the chrome browser which is annoying.
I did delete the Google search apk via titanium backup, not sure if that's what caused it.
Anyways, does anyone have the stock ics browser and the Google search apk? Google search isn't in the marketplace for me.

Right, today I could not communicate with Google Services so thought it was a bad flash, so reflashed and that did not sort the problem. I tried the hosts trick and worked. I now cannot access G+ at all, it will force close every time. The other Google apps work though. Any ideas? I have tried clearing the apps cache and data.
And you made no changes what so ever between it working and not working?

None at all. This is why it gets me as I don't know what I'm earth could have caused it.
