How does it solve the issue? By making the UI better? But won't OEMs want to "differentiate" by installing their own bloated flashy custom UI?
Not to mention the uninstallable adware and junkware installed and always running in the background. Does ICS solve this?
- vetinari 15y agoYes, ICS solves that. Even if the apk is installed in system partition (that means you can't uninstall it), you can mark it hidden and the system will never take it into account at startup, intent broadcast or in other situations. It is as good as removed (except that it physically can't be removed, because you may want to restore the phone to factory settings).
- gcb 15y agoi give it two days after launch for a cheap model sold by AT&T to came with ICS patched to ignore certain nascar apps.
- recoiledsnake 15y ago>you can mark it hidden Is there a UI function in the OS(for example by right clicking on the icon) for that or should it be done via a adb shell?
- joebadmo 15y agoIt's available in system settings: http://thisismynext.com/2011/10/20/bloatware-kill-switch-ice-cream-sandwich/ http://thisismynext.com/2011/10/20/bloatware-kill-switch-ice...
