Apparently this app/windget is notorious for being unable to be removed. I'm rooted, is there a way to remove it aside from going through the Market (which doesn't work)?

Hey
Try this out
Go to settings > Location & Security > device administrator
Remove the lock screen widget thing
Then uninstall it
(Titanium Backup helps)

Mass.
So I have attempted this and I have had no luck.

As stated, I went to Settings, Location & Security, Select Device Administrators.

I arrived at the Device administrators page and the "Lock Screen Widget" box is checked. I click it, arrive at another menu, click deactivate, get a warning message to proceed, I click "OK." I then return to the same Device administrators page and the "Lock Screen Widget" box remains checked.

I do not know what to do. Any suggestions?

(My phone is not rooted and it is running 2.2.1) (edit: I know this is in the EVO 4G forum but I didn't want to start a new thread. I searched and this is what I found.)
