reboot
I'm a noob to rooting but just rooted my X yesterday with Steven's help!
I bought Titanium Backup today and froze some apps, but still unsure about some others.
Quick question though. I froze the Amazon MP3 player, but it still appears in the app drawer. What gives?
Thanks guys.
There were a couple apps I had that were still in the app drawer after I froze them, I don't remember which ones they were though. I just hid them in the app drawer if they didn't go away after a reboot and wiping the cache.
This is probably a stupid question but, how do I hide them?
Thanks!
I have the quintessential stupid question about removing bloatware.
I don't like having bloatware / useless apps on my phone, either. (At least Moto and other vendors should give you the option to disable / remove the ones that aren't needed). However, I thought that having apps running on Android doesn't really affect the performance & memory of the phone. If a task killer isn't needed because of the way Android handles memory, why would these bloatware apps make any difference?
Related to that, I just looked at the "running apps" on my phone and about 35 or so were running. I rebooted the phone and then there were 60. So doesn't that mean Android is stopping some of the apps that start up with the phone?
It is an option in LauncherPro (if you aren't using it you need to be), under preferences -> general settings -> hide apps
What is the news and weather app called? I don't have any app with the word weather or news in their titles. Need to delete this bloat.

And a few others without issues so far. You can also rm BlurHome but you'll want to do so after adding a home replacement. Also, I'm not sure what removing BlurHome does w/ a factory reset. As for the ones listed above, I was also able to perform a factory reset without having the semi-brick issue that has been mentioned. Obviously, do this at your own risk!
Does freezing remove the icons?
GenieWidget.apk is the combined news and weather app.The single app, "news and Weather" icon is still on my app screen. Its the picture of a newspaper with the newpaper heading of Google News........
