I have finished with the ICS install, FDR and reinstalling my apps, but there are a couple of things I am not certain of.

1) How do I set tactile feedback to the keyboard to off? I have looked everywhere under settings and especially the Input settings and can not find it?

2) Word is some bloat can be uninstalled and/or frozen through ICS itself. How does one do this?

I can answer #2. Go to "Manage Apps" > open app > "Disable"

Most let you...some don't. Also, disabled apps will show up at the end of the list after disabling.

Yeah, I use the Swiftkey keyboard, but the instructions of Motorola were very similar to how to disable tactile feedback.

I notice none of the Verizon apps show as apps that can be disabled, unless you have to click on something other than Apps in settings.

I also notice there is no Task Manager in ICS either, unless that's apps.

Honestly, I haven't found anythinm that lets me Disable any apps, and under Apps in Settings all I'm seeing is Apps I myself have installed.

Follow SirEagle's advice to see ALL apps.

The top bar scrolls left and right, you can then click on Downloaded, Internal Storage, Running, or All. They should be in All.

How do you change the choices on the lock screen so you can swipe to a different app?

Is there a way to change back to 3g. 4g eats up my battery.

TIA

There is a way to do this, but involves dialing a special code into the dialer to access the menu. I know it's posted in one of these other 246 threads and I'll edit this post to show it if I can find it again.

Also, supposedly there is an app that can do this as well on the Play store.

Thanks, Thom:

This app appears to be the same as what I had running on GB, except it runs now on ICS. There is absolutely no whine in the head phones, either.

I think if you check the sizes of the two files you will find they are different. The user interface appears to be the same as an older version. The "guts" have been updated.
