Root Canvas Help

(DESKTOP) Canvas 2.1 - update1

I recall I could deleted Canvas ? :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:
What will I be missing if I did Deleted Canvas
Have downloaded a secondary program to replace it. Such as Go Launcher, ADW, Etc. If you delete it without having another program you'll just get a bunch of force closings and problems with the phone. Thats what I've seen or read at least. ^^.

If you are still using your phone, you obviously have another launcher, but you will have a big problem if something happens to it. You also might need canvas when it's time to update. There is a thread about how to get canvas back. I think in the troubleshooting section. If you still have the 9 home screens, you still have canvas.

because it's stock. if you don't pay for it or get it from market it is donated.

only freeze canvas if you have another launcher already.

After I rooted my phone, I froze the apps I didn't want, backed them up, and deleted them and this includes Canvas. If I need them, I can restore them using Titanium Backup but, in the meantime, they aren't taking up space on the phone. I don't understand why folks advise against deleting apps since, if you have them backed up, you can restore them.

Note on titbu.

If you don't have a smiling face you can't restore the app. Data only apps don't restore.

Im running huawei on metro. I deleted canvas I have another launcher installed but im just getting a bunch of force close messages.


UPDATE:After restarting the phone, go launcher appears to be working fine as my default launcher. Im assuming i should take caution if uninstalling it. IS there anything else i should look out for and should i reinstall canvas?
