Google Apps ?

[hillview]

I am running DroidXcon's 2.9.2 superclean package and just installed Honeycomb 3.1 theme. All is well except google streetview has never worked on my phone, even when stock. And now I can't delete it. Same with Chrome to phone. I go to manage apps and go into them and i don't have any options to click. Everything is dark. I go to the market and it says the apps are installed. Also streetview doesn't show up in my app drawer. Chrome to phone does. Anybody else seen this? Any fix?

How are you trying to use streetview? When you are in Google maps, zoom in and long press on any street that is yellow (those are the only ones that have streetview available), then click on the bubble that appears, then click on the streetview dude icon on the next page, you will be taken to streetview. Unlike the pc version, there are no arrows to move up and down the street, to move along the street, hold down on the streetview dude in the lower left corner and move him to where you want to go. Google streetview doesn't show up in my app drawer either. Seems like it is just integrated into Google maps instead of being a separate app. I've never used Chrome to phone, so sorry, I can't help you there.

There are some apps that were included in the ROM when Adrynalyne put it together. These are not 'optional' - they installed as part of the ROM package. I also have Allshare, car cradle, google maps and others...

I have been running 2.9.2 and it is there .. You cannot delete the app like you can like the ones from the market. You can do a couple of things to make them less noticeable on your phone.

Titanium backup has an option (paid) to 'freeze' apps and they will disappear from the os and not show up in the app drawer.. you can use Launcher Pro and selectively hide apps in the app drawer. Or you can use a file manager and find the apk files in the system/app folder and rename them with the extension .old and that will make them disappear as well..

I will give that a try. Thanks for the help!!! Again!!

Removal of any of those apps would be handled the same way as debloating a stock ROM. With a root file explorer, navigate to the /system/app folder and find the corresponding apk files. From here, have a few ways to remove the apps you don't want. You can just rename them adding .old to the extension (dlna.apk.old would hide allshare), move them to a "junk" folder on your SD card, or just straight up delete them. Most people prefer moving them to the SD card as it's a simple copy/paste to put them back if needed. If you delete them, you can just extract them again from your ROMs zip file and copy or adb push them back as well.
