Hello All, appreciate some advice.
Have a Virgin Mobile LG Optimus Slider with Android 2.3.4. Installed Facebook app 2 mos ago and regretted it ever since. Need to get rid of it. Everyone knows uninstall does not work for it. Only way really is to root and get some app to uninstall it. How about going thru a hard reset by holding down (vol down, home, and power) buttons to get to the recovery menu to reset it to factory condition? Will this work to rid Facebook app? I know I won't be able to get rid of the other bloatware that came with the phone at purchase but ridding Facebook would be great. I already backed up everything and has had no success rooting this phone with Android 2.3.4. Any ways to avoid rooting to get the job done? Reset through the settings menu didn't work and Facebook reappeared at reboot. Any ideas and recommendations would be great, thank you.
