Would like to remove the 'Learn More' internet link icon

[Guest Jez_]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to remove the 'Learn More' internet link icon from the main applications area? It's something I'll never use, and if I really need to I can just go to it manually instead. Thanks :angry:

If you never use it: simply IGNORE it!!! ;-)

Why maybe damage your system when trying to remove it? Just don't click it...!

I really think there's no reason to remove it.

Example: You could also remove the "Camcorder" Icon and start it through "Camera"...this would be endless

You need to decompile the APK and remove

<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" android:label="@string/tutorial_icon_title" android:icon="@drawable/learn_more" android:name=".activity.TutorialActivity" android:screenOrientation="portrait">

			<intent-filter>

				<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

				<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

				<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />

			</intent-filter>

		</activity>

from the AndroidManifest.xml to stop the icon showing, then recompile and sign the APK.

Ah, Paul you legend!!

I seem to be flashing ROMs daily at the moment, lol!

And cheers Klutsh, more pearls of wisdom as usual :angry:

EDIT: Can't open the XML file in the APK, Wordpad brings up a garbled mess

Thanks klutsh and Paul, I'd just downloaded a fresh bake to have another dig around in the HTCSetupWizard.apk, but I'll hold my horses now... plus I probably wouldn't have figured out how to properly de-compile / recompile the file. Cheers guys :D

@PStephan88 - Err, could you not have just ignored my question if you had nothing helpful to offer? :angry:

I like to use Titanium Backup to 'Freeze' the apps, this removes the app from the apps drawer. Works great.

Gone now in new kitchen so I'm happy! :angry:
