I'm fairly new to Android OS, having gotten my first Tablet (ASUS TF101A w/ KB Dock) in December 2011, still learning and making mistakes. I've been in IT (hardware mostly) for a couple decades, but as I said, no Android experience.
First problem I'm asking for help on is I tried installing "Black Hole Live" wallpaper from the PlayStore, it failed to install BUT left some sort of remnants in the "Apps Listing" that will not allow being uninstalled. It shows as 00B on all "storage" and is "Disabled". Being from IT, I like things clean and tiddy. This remnant refuses to uninstall, I've even looked everywhere it could reside using ES File Explorer, nothing. HOW do I get rid of this stinker??
Second: I'm sure this has been covered before, but I have to ask again if not. There are Apps that are put on the device from the factory, buried somewhere in the OS, that aren't "free" apps after a ridiculously short "Trial Period". I want to remove them, they're using up storage space and I don't use them. One in particular with an absurd 7 day free trial is PRESS READER. I want it off! I downloaded an Uninstaller called "Root Uninstaller APK", but it shows nothing that any other Uninstaller does and Press Reader is not shown.
Can any of the experts out there direct me to a working Uninstaller that will work with Factory Apps and perhaps a short Tutorial on how to do this? I greatly appreciate the learning experience.
Thanks
