DROID X Pre-Loaded/Installed Apps

Deleted...Sorry...I didn't run the search to see if this had already been adressed. Short answer if anyone else has the same problem...pre-installed apps where the uninstall is permanently grayed out can't be removed. Someone suggested Launcher Pro to remove the ICON(s) but the app(s) themselves are permanent.

Post has been covered but , for me launcher pro slowed down my phone. But it does hide any app in the app tray you don't want to see and it keeps the app tray nice and clean,however the preinstalled apps cannot be removed.

@Abi99 WOW! It worked like a charm.
It didn't work when I patched MobiMB by replacing my mobile code RM-949 before 6700 ( see attachment, hexeditor.png, navigation point - 1 ), now I placed my mobile code RM-940 after 6700 ( see attachment, hexeditor.png, navigation point - 2 ). Annnnnnnnnnnnd! BOOOM! This is what I got! (see attachment, mobimb3.png)
Thank you sooooooooooo much @Abi99 . It was my mistake, I didn't follow your tutorial properly. First, I hesitated to install hex editor on my PC, when my AV detected it as adware. But I trust you, I disabled my AV and gone ahead and enabled my AV. It worked just fine.
BTW, is there any list of items, which are safe to delete?

Is there a way to disable alerts for updates on unused droid razr m factory installed apps?

Is there a way to disable the alerts for unused droid razor m factory installed aps? Or how can I manage the settings so these do not pop up? I literally have used none of their pre-installed apps in 2 years. I would prefer they just do whatever it is they do in the background.

If you go into the application manager and disable those apps, that will uninstall updates and stop future update attempts

Droid Maxx won't install apps

I just got a new Droid Maxx & I can't install any apps. I can see the apps in the play store, but when I hit install... nothing happens.

Hello flipper0682002
I never like to hear our customers are having issues with their new devices. Let's get to the bottom of this. Did you remove and reinsert the Sim card? If not, please try that. Does the browser work? Have you successfully added a Gmail account on the device?
I look forward to your reply so we can get this fixed.

HT201272 Pre-loaded YouTube app missing

the youtube app that came preloaded on my ipad 2.0 is gone -- how do I re-load it? I can't seem to find it in the app store.

The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6 and that particular app is not in the store. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

Pre Installed Apps on Droid Maxx

I currently use a Droid 2. One of the issues I face is a number of pre-installed apps which I don't want, yet keep sending me alerts a few times per week looking to update them. Of course, to update them, I must sign up for services that I don't want or need.
I would like to upgrade to the Droid Maxx. However, since this issue is really bugging me, I think it would be fair to ask what apps come pre-installed on the phone. And among those apps, which cannot be deleted if I wish to? Can someone tell me which apps are pre-installed yet cannot be deleted? Especially those that will continually bother me about adding unwanted services?
I figure that if I am going to upgrade, it be to a phone that doesn't nag me all the time.

Out of these 50 pre-installed apps, not one has bugged me yet. You can always "Disable" pre-installed apps by going to Settings / Apps / (choose app) / Disable.
Better than that, if you want to keep the app, but never be updated, Go to Settings / Active Notifications / Manage Notification Types. You can manually select which apps you would like to notify you, and which ones you would rather just sit there and look pretty. You can also hide notification details when using PIN or password lock. You can also select to have the phone sleep at night (silence notifications) so nothing will bother you while you sleep.
If you're worried about your location access, you're kinda out of luck in today's world. All smartphones are GPS-equipped. If you are downloading an app which requires "Full Network Access", decide whether or not this app really DOES need full network access. Say it's Weatherbug, for instance...Weatherbug's developers are trustworthy, and the app uses your location information to give you accurate weather forecasts. Now say you're downloading an app that provides wallpapers. This type of app seriously doesn't need full network access to function, so it would be up to you at that point whether or not you trust the developer.
Hope this helped!

Pre installed apps

i tried security wipe to my playbook knowing that it will delete all my downloads and bring back my pre loaded apps like a new one
can somebody help me on this?

do this and they will come back, a wipe does not bring them back
First I would like you to do a Back Up of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software.
This can be downloaded for free from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
After the Back Up is complete I need you to unplug your PlayBook and then push and hold down the Power Button until the unit Force Powers Off.
Now, while Desktop Software is still open on your computer and the PlayBook Powered Off, Connect the PlayBook to your computer.
You should see and error screen from Desktop Software pop up that has the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
QUICKLY choose the Update option.
This will erase all the information off of your PlayBook and Re-Write the Software back onto it. Once it's complete your PlayBook will need to go back through the setup wizard, and you can then perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your information. The only thing that won't come back after the restore are the apps that you downloaded from App World but they can be easily Re-Installed using the My World feature in App World.

Delete Pre-Install Apps

How do you delete pre-install apps on your android phones? I have a Motorola Droid Razr M.

Put your music on the SD card.
Disabling apps will leave them on the phone. Also the amount of space the bloat takes up is negligible.

Pre-loaded apps

Is it possible to delete pre-loaded apps (but not system apps) from the phone? If so how can they be restored if required? Is there a list of the pre-loaded apps which can safely be deleted and then restored?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For a list of safe app to be removed check XDA however if they are unable to removed via normal means then they are deemed system apps leaving two choices either Root and uninstall them completely or use a program called Debloater to freeze them rendering them invisible to the apps draw - To restore you can un-freeze or re-install them from the Play store or perform a system repair

MacBook Pro (mid 2010) - Slow Startup and Initial Load of Apps after Mavericks Install

Hello everyone,
Long time Snow Leopard user here. I've been absolutely, 100% thrilled with my MBP's performance / speed since mid 2010. Since installing Mavericks I've noticed two things:
1. Initial on boot load times seem much slower
2. The first time you open an app (Safari, even TextEdit) is far slower than in Snow Leopard.
Now granted, once the computer has been on for about 5 minutes, and once you've had an application open for 1-2 minutes, than performance is okay once again. But it seems that quite literally everytime you do "anything" for the first time since the computer has been turned on you run the risk of a spinning beachball and an extended wait. This simply never happened in Snow Leopard.
I'm not a computer science major but I do understand that when you do something for the first time since a reboot it will need to load new files into the RAM which takes time. However, I've been using this computer since 2010 and have never experienced this behavior / speed / delay, etc... something seems fundamentally different.
For example, even just opening finder, and navigating to the Applications folder results in sluggish behavior the first time. Also, anytime you first click the top menu bar in an application you run the risk of a beachball.
It doesn't seem like a failing hard drive because I can read/write large chunks of data one an app is finally loaded. It's just initially loading the app takes quite literally 10-20 times longer than Snow Leopard. It seems like perhaps Mavericks itself, the core of the new OS was perhaps installed in a bad sector of the HD, but none of my other files are on bad sectors... if that makes sense. Again - I'm not a computer science major so I'm largely just making things up
It also seems as if multitasking and switching between several open apps has seen a decrease in performance. Could it be that perhaps Mavericks RAM management is superior to Snow Leopard, but only if there is a TON of RAM to go around? Could it be as simple as Macs with only 4GB installed should not be allowed to even install Mavericks?
Does this sound normal for Mavericks considering I have a C2D processor, a non SSD, and only 4GB ram? I know those specs are "outdated" for 2014, but keep in mind these were the specs that I've always had and with Snow Leoapard I was consistently thrilled with the speed of the computer.
I suppose my question is: should my strategy be to simply turn the computer on, get a cup of coffee and let everything load and maybe even have my frequently used apps load on startup, etc... and carry on as normal? Does something seem off? Should I invest in a new SSD / RAM upgrade? I know the upgrades couldn't hurt, but the issue is that I was perfectly content until upgrading to Mavericks
I've tried booting into OS X Recovery mode and using the Disk Utility. I've tried Safe Mode. I've included a "EtreCheck" report below. I'm open to any ideas / suggestions.
Thanks!!

Wish I could be of some help, but I'm having similar issues on my mid 2011 macbook pro with 8 GB ram. It's very frustrating. I haven't worked on a computer this slow since the early 90's. Even simple things like signing in to this site bring up the beach ball for maybe ten seconds. When opening up apps I often have to wait minutes, and often end up force quitting when they hang. I'm using force quit a dozen or more times a day, when it used to be very rare.
I don't know if it's Mavericks. I installed a new hard drive in November, but the problems really started getting bad since the latest upgrade.
It's not just opening apps. If I have an app open in the background and switch to it I have similar issues. Watching a simple video is often accompanied by stalls and delays - which is really bad as I'm often using the laptop to edit video. It's become unuseable for work.
Perhaps the most frustrating is clicking on a link, only to find Safari decides to complete a previous scroll that it had paused. The page jumps down, and sometimes I end up clicking on a link I didn't want. Then I have to wait for THAT spinning beach ball before I can go back to the previous spinning beach ball.
It can take up to ten minutes to restart. I've tried everything I could find on these pages so far, and nothing has worked.
I thought maybe it was something I've done (and perhaps it is), but I keep seeing others with similar issues.

Can I install Snow Leopard on the latest Macbook Pros? (the ones pre-loaded with Lion)

The problem and solution is pretty simple, I just want to know if anyone has tried this before. I have a brand new Macbook Pro that I bought more or less for the sole purpose of having a more powerful machine to run AVID Media Composer on. AVID is only compatible up to OS version 10.6.7 at the moment, and the machine I got was pre-loaded with Lion, 10.7....So I look at the support documentation Apple provides, and notice that in the nifty little chart they have, the latest line of Macbook Pros out there (early 2011) originally had version 10.6.6, so I'm assuming that's the previous version I can't downgrade past.
To revert back to Snow Leopard, however, I need to install it from the DVD which has version 10.6.3 on it, and then upgrade to any version between Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Lion 10.7. In theory this could work, the only problem being that for a brief time between installing Snow Leopard and updating to the version of it that I need, the computer will have version 10.6.3 on it.
Now I'm pretty sure if the only thing I do on the computer is immediately update to a safe-to-use version, there will be no problems. However, if the machine's hardware is so terribly non-backwards compatible with the Snow Leopard OS, I may do all this backing up and reverting and not even be able to start the computer once I get the old install on it. Before I just go ahead and try this for myself, I was wondering if anyone else has, and more importantly, have you had any success?

Hi r,
EDIT: disregard my post. Waiting for that disc is a far better option.
I hope w won't mind if I add a thought here:
rmo348 wrote:
Now I don't mind if some drivers are messed up and resolution is all funky when I install 10.6.3 on it, I just need to know if it'll be functional to the point where I can run the 10.6.6 update dmg. Once I update to 10.6.6 everything should work fine.
Or could I install 10.6.3, have the 10.6.6 update burned to a disc, and boot straight from that? This is my first Mac so I'm not sure what little tricks work or not.
Your first idea may work; the only way to know for sure is to try it. If you do, make sure you download and run the Combo update for 10.6.7 or 10.6.8. There can be different versions of a point update, those which are available for download, and those which ship on Macs, so you want to install one beyond that which shipped with some of the new MBPs.
If the MBP won't boot to 10.6.3, something else to try is installing it to an external HD, then installing the 10.6.7 update on it, clone it to the MPB's internal HD, and run the 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 Combo update on it.

How do I delete pre-installed apps?

I do not have a lot of space on my phone and it takes up space so i have to delete other apps in order for updates and have little room for other apps I want. My school also took off some of the pre-installed apps on ipads given to the school and I don't think they would jail break all 600+ I-pads especially being as I go to a public school.

Thanks dumpystig, but that menu sequence will only allow to delete purchased apps and a limited number of Pre-installed discretionary apps such as Accu Weather. It, for example, does not allow to delete the Calendar app - nor does it make available the 'pocket news' app which is the one I want to get rid off. The phone is running PR1.2 and was purchased, unlocked, from a Nokia shop. Thanks
