Hey guys.
Just rooted my TB and moved a bunch of bloatware to my SD card via the method in the sticky. While most of the apps disappeared from the All Apps screen, a few stuck around (i.e. kindle, slacker, rhapsody and that damn blockbuster app) I moved all of the apps in one move so I'm not sure why some of them are sticking around. Any ideas are appreciated as to whats up with this. Thanks!

Double check your market. If you've updated those apps or they are showing in your apps section of the market, removing the .apk from system/app won't get rid of them. Uninstall from the market. If they are still there double check the system/app folder to be sure they are gone. Also look in data/app.

IDK if its recommended, but I just went to the root of the devices internal memory in Root Explorer, did a search for Blackbuster, and moved EVERYTHING that had to do with it to the SD cards bloatware folder. Worked for me (Just Blockbuster, becasuse i DOUBT that would've harmed the phone)

I had originally tried to reboot my phone by just doing a restart and that did not get the apps to go away. But what DID work is to totally power down, and then turn back on the phone. So thanks for the input!

I'm pretty sure this is built in to sense uI itself so deleting this app may cause problems. I could be wrong though
