Deleting Sideload Apps?

**Maiev** · 02-08-2013, 11:41 PM

Hay

I just got a question for you sideloaders. I used to be able to completely delete sideloaded apps on playbook via pressing the icon, wait till it shake and then it disappears from the trash.

However, on the Z10, the icon reappears on boot, anyone knows where the android app actually being stored on the Z10 so I can go in and do some cleanup? :O

Thanks!!

really? I have turned my phone off many times and the deleted apps are always gone.

you can try to uninstall them the same way that you installed them.

ddpb is good at that. just 'check' the apps you want to uninstall in ddpb and then click on uninstall.

Nope, tried it. load up ddpb, loaded the original app and click uninstall, when ddpb says done, its still on the z10 lol, reboot and its still on the z10 lol

Try reinstalling it, then delete again see if that works.

So you are deleting the same way you do on the PlayBook?

Pretty much... I just hold onto the icon till I see the trash can, click the trash can and it disappears. I never had issue with playbook.. but this one.. yea Icon repopulate :3 I mean my solution is just put it in a folder and leave it on the side, still bothers me a little.. if u know what I mean

Okay, I found out how. You have to reboot it fresh, delete right away then reboot immediately.

What might happen is if you turn it on for long enough, the "service" or "daemon" started, hooking some files prevent it from deletion. It gives you the message saying its deleted but will reappear on reboot. I delete one at a time and reboot each time and it appears to work

Thought I'd leave it on CB in case somebody runs into the same error

where did you get FF8 to

it happens with Apps downloaded from Blackberry world to i have just tried it. it seems if you delete it restart your phone and hit the icon the phone downloads the app again

if you want to uninstall a Blackberry world app you have to do it from BB World and not is hold-shake-delete

That's weird, I can just hold and delete from home screen. This is a bug created from sideloading a non-loadable app. Blackberry gotta fix this, CHOPCHOP
