[Q] Want to remove Acer installed Nook app

---

Hi all,

I've got a rooted Iconia on 3.1. I installed System App Remover from Market and I'm able to see all the Acer bloatware installed. I've removed several that are useless/take up space. [I know many of you recommend renaming them, but does that remove them from the App listing?]

But, I can't seem to find the nook app to delete it!?

Has anyone successfully deleted the Acer installed Nook app?

I used root explorer to delete it. The apk is located in system/vendor/app. If you have root explorer make sure to change to mount R/W.

but wouldn't this cause an issue with the update?
I heard if you are missing any of Acer files inc. bloatware apps the update will fail?

Quite possible - however it is quite a simple matter to keep backups and restore them when updating.

Or you can use an app like Titanium Backup, worth every penny and helps with this.

Well I don't know about OTA update, since I bought the Iconia tab I have never received an OTA update. Every time I check, I always get "your device is up to date." I was able to update from 4.010.11 to 4.010.13 with no problem (using one of the update package found here). It actually reinstalled the bloatware apps.

thanks. Ill giveit a try
