I want to get rid of the default barcode scanner that comes with android 2.1 but it isn't letting me uninstall it.
When I go to the manage applications under settings it doesn't show up in the list. but it still appears (and works) from my standard application window.
When I go to appbrain and try to uninstall it says, "uninstall not successful".
I tried using the quickuninstall app (as suggested in another thread) but get the same "uninstall not successful" message.
I downloaded an icon pack and decided I did not want it anymore so I went and uninstalled it... but it told me that it did not work and now it shows up as installed on my phone still in the market but I can't choose install or open, they are grayed out...

We are plannig to write a new music application from scratch. Also we want to uninstall the built-in music application to ensure only our application resides on the phone. adb ls /data/app command doesn't list built-in applications. So, I am unable to uninstall the built in music application without knowing its name. So, I am getting a feeling like built in applications uninstallation is handled in different way.

So, if uninstall the application (through market), will the preference and database be deleted? how about upgrade? Is there a way for me to test this before I upload my upgrade to the market?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded a version of Swype from a website (can't remember which) that was apparently just a trial which recently ran out. It coincided with Swype sending me their beta version (I had signed up to get it on their site) so I figured I would just download that. Unfortunately, it won't install because there's already another version of Swype on my phone. I tried QuickUninstaller but not surprisingly it doesn't show up in there. Any idea how to get it off my phone so I can install the newer one?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI hope this hasn't been asked before. Here is the situation. I bought a paid app (Droid DJ) and everything was fine until I was notified that an upgrade was available. When I upgraded, the app not longer worked on my Nexus One. I contacted the developer and they immediately fixed the problem and issued a new version. The problem is that the Android Market hasn't notified me of the new upgrade. I am hesitant to uninstall the app then download it again (I don't want to have to pay again). Does anyone know how this works?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI see a few "uninstall apps" on the market and I am wondering why there are such applications. Uninstalling an app from the phone is not that complicated and it is quite fast. Maybe my question is silly but I am very new to Android. I know that Windows for example does not uninstall programs properly, and one needs often a third party program to really make a clean uninstall. Is that the same with Android, or do these apps just make it faster to uninstall an app (with the same result that one will get with a "uninstall" process through the apps manager)?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've an issue related to the application uninstall. Actually when my application is removed, all the related accounts are removed, and consequently all the account contacts disappear from the device. I was wondering if there is a way to keep the accounts information or eventually to be notified when the application is being uninstalled, in order to allow the application to advice the user.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI wan't to uninstall applications using my application... I can retrieve the list of packages installed but I don't know how to remove them... I used the PackageManager class, getInstalledApplications() method... I can't find any method like removeApplication() or uninstallApplication().
the only method I saw in this class is the removePackageFromPreferred (String packageName) method... It retrieves a list of preferred packages.. I don't exactly know what preferred packages means or somehow how to retrieve them... I tried to put a package name in the method "removePackageFromPreferred (com.dev5.fivegame)" but it gives an error...
