OK so I rooted my g2 and deleted preinstalled apps but I still see the icons in the drawer. How do I delete this icons and apps completly?I have searched in this forum but did not find anything that is why I'm posting this. Any help is very apreciated,Thanks in advance also!
 
Two questions must be answered before I can help you:
1. What apps are you trying to remove?

2. How did you "delete" them? As in, what app/process did you use to remove them from the phone?
 
I don't know if you really deleted the apps. I know with CyanogenMod, you're allowed to link the apps from the original stock Android. So maybe that's what it's doing. Or maybe you haven't downloaded a custom ROM yet, so when you press Home and go to the original app drawer, those apps are still there. Once you change your ROM, it should give you the option to either link your Official Google apps (since it's illegal to put them with the ROM) over to your ROM or delete preinstalled apps. But I don't think rooting the G2 alone is enough to get rid of the preinstalled apps.

So what I'm saying is, if all you did was root the phone and that's it, I don't think you can delete the preinstalls just yet. You have to download a custom ROM first before you get that option.
 
Ok thanks! What I did is rooted the phone then downloaded from the market Root Uninstaller and delete the shopper and finance app, they delete because I look for them in the phone and they are not there but I still have the icons. I hit the icons and it says .apk file not found. I will download a rom now and verify because you are right I have not put in a rom. Thank you verify much!
