Old apps from previous MCR versions

[Guest Dan Mullen]

Hi,

I noticed that I've still got Custom Locale and MoreLocale installed even though I'm on MCR 3.0. Presumably this is just because they were pre-installed in previous ROM versions that I've upgraded from. Can someone confirm how I can completely get rid of these two apps? Do I just need to delete the .apk files, or are there any other files leftover?

Cheers,

Dan

You should be able to uninstall them. Settings,application, manage apps. No need to do this by adb or anything.

No, they don't appear in that app listing.

Have you try with any quick uninstall application to remove them?

No, I haven't got anything like that installed. I noticed there's a few of them in the Market. I'll have a look at some of them, although I'm quite happy to do it via the shell if someone knows which files need to be removed.

Go into system/app find what its called prob something like morelocale.apk write it down then.

adb shell rm system/app/(name of app).apk

Try using superfast uninstaller or x uninstaller from the market that also might work.

OK, cheers. They're not in /system/app, but they're left over in /system/sd/app from a previous ROM. I also wasn't sure if there were any associated data directories or similar that might need to be removed.

Incidentally, does anyone know if there are any other apps that were in older ROMs that aren't in 3.0?

For info, I've just ran

rm /system/sd/app/*ocale*

and that seems to have done the trick ;)
