I removed many preinstalled apps via romtoolbox. When I reboot my phone, sometimes (but not always), I see 'ghosts' of these when i view all apps. For example, I see a blank icon saying com.htyc.automotive or com.htc.stock or similar. They all have a small sd card picture with sd on it in the lower right hand corner, even for apps that were never on the sd card. What could be causing this?
Are your apps still odexed or deodexed?
Did you delete only apk or also odex file?
I simply used the app manager in RomToolboxPro to remove them. Still odexed. Tried clearing dalvich

Most of the time when I press the native gallery app, its blank. I exit and press it again, still blank. Sometimes I have to reboot to get my folders to appear.
Sometimes I press the gallery app and my dropbox folder appears (or any other one of my folders), so i exit and press gallery app, after several tries my other 5 folders often show up. Other times its a different folder that shows up, maybe even a couple, but only about 33% of the time do i press my gallery app and have my folders show up on the first try
Do I have a defective device or is the stock Android 2.1 update 1 just not a stable operating system?
I havent read anything from Google regarding the gallery app other than that it uses lesser image quality than the older versions of the app. I like the 3d feel and the image movement in the gallery app, but id rather have the older version that let me look at my image/video folders. Since I have a stock Nexus, is there a way for me to remove the broken native gallery and install and older version? thanks
I've been having this happen fairly frequently with my stock N1 as well. Kind of annoying and i'm not sure what eventually makes the photos/music load. I usually exit, reload, or look through the camera app to find them.
are you using a task killer..?
could also be sdcard issues.
No task killer. And I recently had an sdcard go bonkers so I'm using a new one at the moment...
install an app called SDrescan and if it happens again just run that app...the files should show up afterwards.
My screen is very difficult to activate items on the Launcher Pro Dock such as the App Drawer, etc. For that matter any icons near the dock in either Landscape or Portrait are difficult are require more pressure or tapping numerous times.
I have already tried TouchRecalibrate with no apparent change.
Any suggestions?
If it weren't for the app drawer I would gorgo using the dock. Anyway to get an icon to open the app drawer somewhere other on my screen rather than on the dock? That would solve my problem
Forgot to mention it is TnT Lite v3.13
First of all, why are you on TnT lite v3.13? Latest is 4.2.2, and is much improved.
Have you tried gojimi's touch recalibration .apk at this link?
If this doesn't work, you can try it the old manual way by creating a blank file named "calibration.ini" , and place it in /sdcard and /sdcard2, for good measure.
Reboot and it should be better, Do Not Touch the screen while it's rebooting. After boot, rename files to .bak or just delete them so it doesn't recalibrate every boot.
If none of it works, you could try to fix permissions in clockworkmod (simplest), or wipe user data and caches (you'll have to re-install apps), or (last resort) nvflash back to original stock ROM, re-partition sdcard 2048 and 0 ( this deletes contents of sdcard, so back up data first!!!), and start over from scratch with bekit's clockworkmod (bekit-0.8) and then latest TnT lite.
Did you forget to pluck the chicken?
You can create a folder on your desktop and drag all your apps to that folder but that may take awhile depending on the number of apps you have.
There's also an app that you can try but it looks kinda ugly to me: http://www.appbrain.com/app/everywhere-app-drawer/com.E.App.Drawer
Thanks, The calibration.ini file did not seem to make a difference. I am kinda new to this stuff. How do I upgrade to the latest TNT? I have clockwork .08?. I have titanium. Not sure what to do. Will I have to redo the market fix and everything else?
Everything is running great the way it is but for this issue. Can I get an APP DRAWER to relocate where I want it on the screen. Is there an app that can do this for me?
install smart taskbar from the market.
If you backup your apps with titanium the upgrade is pretty painless. Download the latest TnTlite. Reboot in to clockwork and clear data/cache. Flash the new TnTlite. REstore your apps with titanium
I c ame up with a fix that works for me for now. I was able to remap the Home Button to open the app drawer. And it still opens the RECENT APPS on long pressing. I am glad I can open the app drewer with ease now. I will think about upgrading to latest TNT, but hate to start over. All is running well.
I did it in the Launcher Pro settings under BEHAVIOR SETTINGS and changed the action of the Home Screen Button
Thanks all that replied. I did flash 4.2.2 and all is good now.
I'm not sure this is the right forum to post this question, if not please direct me to the proper place.
Is there an easy way to uninstall multiple apps with TBP? I tried to delete the pesky ones like Car Home, Fota Kill, Live Wallpaper, Magic Smoke, Music Visual Wallpaper, Pico TTS, Setup Wizard, etc., but once I reboot, they are back again, SO I tried removing a couple by long pressing each one and selecting the option of Force Remove app but it is going to take a while if eerytime I choose one it has to restart. Is there a way to do a multiple Froce Removal?
You could uninstall apps from the launcher itself (i don't think the stock launcher can do that), but in launchers like go launcher, next launcher, u just long press on the app and it shows a cross mark on top of it. Just hit that it will uninstall.
Or you can go to manage apps in settings, and do it there.
Are they system apps.? If so you should use any root browser and go into system /app and delete em.
Don't delete random apps. You might mess it up.
And BTW, this should be in Q & A. Not general

This are system apps that came with the CWM7. ADW doesn't allow me to uninstall them. Going into settings>manage apps doesn't give me the option to uninstall.
I've frozen the apps to make sure I am able to delete them with out any problems. I've uninstalled a couple one by one via TBP Force Removal BUT it would take forever because it reboots twice every time I remove an app.
Moderator can you please tranfer this to Q&A??? Sorry about that

As I said, use a root browser, go to system/app, delete apps from there. And after deleting all the apps u wanted to, do a reboot (not mandatory though)

Hi!
I used the default launcher of our XL..
On my home screen, I made 5 Folders for Web, Social, Games, Misc, and Japanese Language apps..
And I put at least 3 apps on every folder..
On my app drawer, I made folders for Google,Utilities, Games,Desktop, Sony, and Camera apps..And some individual apps like MX Player, recorder, calcu, ES file explorer, settings, TiBackUp, Speed Test and Greenify..
After every reboot of my phone, some of the icons(specially the user installed apps) are not on their folders on the home screen I made and have been lined up again on the app drawer.. Did some users experienced the same thing?any suggestions??
Thanks..

try to clear data of "Xperia Home".
You will lose all customize setting on homescreen.
Make again 5 folders and see if that works?
I am also trying to figure out exactly what reason that could be.
Has anyone ever figured out what causes it or how to fix the situation? I have the same issue with my Xperia Z1. App Drawer folders just disappear on reboot, sending the contained apps all over the drawer.
Tried both things (App Data Reset and specifically deleting data of Xperia Home) to no avail.
Move all apps from internal sd to phone, this will solve most issues. It's the same with modified icons & names in custom launchers when the apps are on the internal sd. It's because these apps are loaded after the launcher loads.
I like to keep things as slim as possible and could do without the likes of gmail, Email, holo launcher, apollo, dsp manager and a few others but will removing these bring other bugs?
I have never had a problem removing some of the apps you listed. You can always install them if you change your mind
There's a thread around here in this section that has a list of apps that are OK to erase and the others you shouldn't. If you want to erase, grab Rom Cleaner, cleans out the bloatware and from there you can just freeze any app with Titanium Backup that you don't want. Still keeps it in memory so that it won't crash the phone, but removes it from sight. Seeing as you want to slim down, hopefully this helps.
