Let me start off by saying I'll never rush a dev.... Ever!!!! But does anyone know where I can find any updates on progress made for the U version root? I've searched Twitter, Reddit, and here with no luck. I like to keep up on these things
I think this has been said before that there is currently no way to do this because the bootloader is simply not unlockeable. I dont think this will change in the near future.

Hello,
I recently did some house (phone) cleaning and dumped a few no longer used apps I had purchased form the market.
I see that while they are no longer installed on the phone, they continue to stay listed in the market download section listed as purchased. Is this normal or is something wrong with the way my phone is working?
If this is normal, is there any way to remove them or at least shift them all to the bottom of the list?
Thanks,
Scott
Using a rooted Droid2 deodexed running the latest 2.3.2
BTW - I've checked the other threads I found on this but never saw a clear answer. Besides, they were old (2009) unless I missed a more resent one.

I believe its not possible.
this is perfectly normal and actually allows you to reinstall them at any time since well, you paid for them.
There is no way to remove them also from that list, you could ask google support about this they'll be your best bet.
I don't really see a use for this however, if you don't want them installed, then don't.
I am pretty sure I have seen such option in some tool. Unfortunately cannot remember. I will post of I find it

ehh some apps you may not want others to know you have...
when they show up in paid apps it kind of defeats the purpose because they show up there...
You can ask the developer to refund your purchase...
I am new to this thread and rooting phones in general. I know you probably hate dealing with people like us, but you have to start somewhere...
anyways... I have a motorola atrix and i had recently rooted it just to delete the unwanted pre installed apps... and then i "unrooted" it? ... i beleive... i just dont know if unrooting it actually unroots it. well now i just tried to install the new update that came out yesterday, but it fails on installation. i was wondering if that has something to do with the uninstalled apps? if so... that brings me to a second problem. i did back up the apps with titanium before uninstalling. but it wont let me put them back. and i believe that is because the atrix wont let you install 3rd party apps? please correct me if i am wrong?
well i was just wondering if anyone else was having this problem or if any one could help. thanks! and sorry for being a noob

I just hate it when people use USELESS thread titles...
How is "UH OH" better than "[Motorola Atrix] Root & Installing/Deleting Apps"...
Use the edit button and change it so other people with the same problem can actually find this thread.
To know if you have root or not there is actually a free app on the market to check this and tell you if you are rooted or not.
Depending on the apps you uninstalled, yes this failed update could be caused by this.
If you can provide the names of the apps you uninstalled i might be able to tell you more.
Installing third party apps can be turned on at Settings/Applications.
Depending where the app was, Titanium Backup might need root to put it there.
You don't have to be sorry for being a noob, just use a good thread title so people know with a look at the title, if they can help or not, and provide as much information in the post as you can, to help people help you .
Not everyone looks into every thread, most if they don't have to spare alot of time (skilled people usually don't have too much free time ), just take a look at the thread titles and decide if they look in it or not.
The apps i deleted were...
Talk 1.3
Help center 2.2.1
Task Manager 9.0 (performance manager)
Home screen tips 2.2.1
Yes you are correct, phone does have to be rooted to put the apps back. It actually has to be rooted just to run titanium. I did Reroot it and try putting them back, but when i do the restore with titanium, its puts all apps back to their setting at the time of the back up, but the missing apps dont install (basically everything on the restore works but the apps i deleted)
i do get the warning when opening titanium saying i will not beable to restore apps with my current settings on my phone and to do what you said (settings> applications>) but from what iv found. it seems the atrix does not have this option.
if you need any more info please let me know. i just want this update because it is supposed to fix a few bugs.
Thanks!
I got it taken care of.
thanks!

Question 1...some apps will not be available in some countries. There are apps that can get around it by spoofing your location, such as Market Enabler. I have not heard that flash was not available in Pakistan but a google search with the question should tell you.
Question 2: That is standard for the stock launcher. It is just a stylish touch. If it bugs you, look into a third party launcher like ADW or LauncherPro.
You might also want to try entering another location (as in a US location) in your settings for GPS. If you look through some of the older threads you will see that some Xoom owners in other (non-EU) countries were successful in gaining access to apps that way.
Good luck and enjoy your Xoom...I do!
sir can u please guide me how to get into the setting cause m really new to it ??
did i squeeze enough in the title there? lol
basically, i have an app, and the app did a major overhaul of its functionality and layout. soo for the past 6 months ive been intentionally not updating it when the market bugs me to. id like to just once and for all figure out some way to associate it with the market.
anyone out there wanna help me out with a way to do this? ive tried the titaniumbackup feature, but i dont believe it works anymore. i also tried changing the signature, but i always seem to break the app.

Just turn off auto updating in the market and you won't get bugged.
The titanium feature works for me even on 4.4.
I already searched on here, and someone asked this before but got no reply.
I want to uninstall Gmail 4.7.1 from my Kyocera Rise that's running ICS, and install the older Gmail 2.3.4.1 on it. Has anyone else done this before? Any idea if it'll work?
I want to do this because 2.3.4.1 is what my old phone (was running Gingerbread) had on it. I don't like the newer Gmail app, IMO they made it harder to read and navigate. I find myself using my old phone just to check my email, because its less annoying. It'd be awesome if the older app were to work on here.

Welcome to Xda, you will see that this happens allot here and i wish everyone could get the help they deserve but most of the time they don't as for your problem, you could google Gmail 2.3.4.1 apk and might be able to find someone who mirrored that like you can try here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181033 download that file from your phone or computer and find it and install it. it might not work because google sorta wants us to use newer versions of their apps but if it does you need to turn off the auto update so it wont. good luck and welcome to XDA!

Hello, thanks. I've been a lurker on here for a while, but I have no experience asking my own questions here.
Yup, I did that, I downloaded an .apk of 2.3.4.1. I was asking on here to try and find out if attempting this would even work.... in my research I can't find anything on whether something like this for Gingerbread will work correctly in ICS. It looks like I have to root to even remove Gmail 4.7.1 so that's why I was asking before getting into this.

The reason why you can't completely uninstall it is because it's a system app. So yes you would have to root to remove it
