I hesitated a lot before sending this, because frankly your original attitude sucked. Not "this is really annoying" sucked, but more "omg you are all idiots for putting such crap out into the world" sucked..
That said, you cannot remove myfaves (and have a functional phone) - it is tied deeply into the system. (And is closed source, although on current releases just about -everyhing- is effectively closed, so..) There is good news though. If you have root access, you can use a different image. (RC8, ADP1 and Holiday images all come without myfaves.) The most popular ones come from JF, and the most updated versions are at http://jf.andblogs.net/ On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 12:56 PM, Stoyan Damov <[email protected]>wrote: > > On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 6:54 PM, Romain Guy <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > First of all, please calm down, getting angry and cursing won't help. > > Calm.
