Question? how to delete cingular Apps - Treo Forum

Kamontryst · 06-28-2008, 01:08 AM

Okay, i'm new here, and its late so i probably missed a similar thread somewhere. But here's the question, i have a cingular treo 680, and have proceeded to unlock it, and have updated it as well (I am on T-mobile) and i want to delete the cingular apps like push, and the mail client, and the tv thing (again, its late) and the gps thing etc. Is there anyway i can do this? or am just going to have to deal with it?

thanks for all your help in advance!

The apps I believe are in ROM so there's no way to delete them easily. What you would need is either a custom ROM with those apps removed or you could flash your 680 with the unbranded/non carrier specific ROM.

you can also use an app like obfuscate to hide the icons that you don't want to see.

Actually you don't need any special app to do this. Go to Prefs/Applications and de-select any app listed and it will not appear anywhere on the Treo, but they'll still be in ROM/RAM if you ever decide you want them back.

okay, lets pretend i don't know how to do that, just for fun? okay, i really don't know how to do that (i'm not to familiar with making changes to any os).

That's my point, unless you really have to have these apps removed, just Hide them by toggling them to Invisible in the Prefs/Application. Thereby avoiding any ROM adaptation.

can you hide them on the Centro? I don't see Applications under Preferences.

You need a freeware app called Applications Panel. Here is a link for it:

Applications Panel 1.3 (for Palm OS) - mytreo.net/downloads

After you download it to your Centro, it will show up in your preferences as
"Applications." Simply click on the apps you want to hide and then you're done.
