Guest EddyOS Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 Best pay for Add-Free and bake your own ROM with them removed
Guest technaudio Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 Best pay for Add-Free and bake your own ROM with them removed Sussed it!!!! Nobody said the phone had to be in recovery console! got rid of peep, stocks, youtube and news by deleting the apk's Problem now is, Accounts and Sync doesnt start up now! oops!
Guest EddyOS Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 That's what you get unfortunately! I took out what you did and going into Accounts & Sync rebooted the phone...

Guest EddyOS Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 I've come to the same conclusion, gone back to stock today as I only put a few apps on my Desire so A2SD isn't really needed...

Aargh, that sucks as I also wanted to remove peep and stocks. Does anyone know why accounts and sync would be broken from removing these apps, or was it a specific one that did it? Thanks :(

Does anyone know why accounts and sync would be broken from removing these apps, or was it a specific one that did it? Thanks :( I assume peep etc are registered somewhere as 'providers' so when Accounts and Sync launches, it looks for the providers. Peep and Stocks are probably well tied into sense and since they ship in the factory ROM, HTC would not have coded anything into sense to deal with missing 'providers' Try extracting modifying a shipped ROM and removing them. If these 'providers' are registered at first boot, they will fail to do so and hopefully won't cause the 'accounts and sync' app to go looking for them. It's a long shot but if you're keen enough, it might be worth a try.
