JellyBean: Get rid of Asus bookmarks in Chrome - Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps

Asus felt the need to add some bookmarks to chrome in Jelly Bean...I do not agree with their decision, luckily there is a solution.
Simply disable the com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks app and restart Chrome (I backed all the way out and then swiped away chrome from the multitask menu).

[Q]: Removing Verizon Bookmarks from Browser (SOLVED)

Is there a way to remove the Verizon bookmarks in the browser?
EDIT: Solved by installing Bookmark Sort & Backup in the Android Market (free): https://market.android.com/details?id=com.happydroid.bookmarks. Thanks to kkryter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20292787&postcount=5
Yup. Bookmarks then menu then edit in browser

No. That doesn't work for me. There are a few bookmark added by Verizon that you can't delete that way:
Google
VZW Home
My Verizon

I used a market program called 'BookmarkSB' for this issue. I've used it for other things as well, such as it's primary purposes of sorting and backup. Hope this helps!

Because if you're ever NOT SURE what the Verizon website is, there's a handy bookmark they force on you!

These are infomations with the update
Tasks enables you to create, manage and synchronize Exchange™ to-do lists and reminders. It is easy to set up and use with your existing Exchange™ account.
Version: 1.0
Description:
Create, manage and synchronize Exchange™ tasks. Manage your professional and personal life with to-do lists and reminders.
I guess it's a really good app for those who uses Exchange, but Google Keep is really good at notes and task managing, so i don't see why a normal human being should use this if (s)he doesn't need Exchange. I downloaded it and used it for maybe 30 seconds, and uninstalled it. I don't need it.
That doesn't mean the rest of the people owning a Ultra shares the same opinion as me, so that's fine. I just think Sony is a bit late to the game with this one.
Do a search!
Tasks is a to-do app similar to those found in Google Play store, but this update comes directly from Sony.
Like any other android task app, you can create a list of reminders on this Tasks App version 1.0.A.0.1 . Simply tap on new task option, enter details and your reminder is set up.

It is easy so
Click on update Center
Click on the three dots on the right corner
click manage updates
click on the eye icon on the right of the app
that will hide the update from the Update center and you will not see it again unless you show it

Minuum on G watch

I just got my link to Minuum for android wear. The only problem is that I'm at work and of course I don't have my cradle with me, so I'll have to wait till tonight. I tried using adb thru bluetooth but I'm not sure exactly how it works, so I guess it'll have to wait till tonight. So excited...
I got it about a week ago loaded on g watch but would not bring up a keyboard just instructions.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I got my invite, but I haven't installed it yet. Later tonight, I guess.
As far as I know, it's completely useless at the moment as Android Wear doesn't allow for keyboard input.

for now yes, but in the future. answer a sms from your watch without having to chose from a preset. or send that tiny whatsapp message from your watch. theres possibilities with it.
I tried it, got the app to run, but never managed to get the keyboard to pop up.
The only issue is that few/no apps support keyboard entry. I was hoping to test SWApp - that insists on keyboard entry at configuration (but no joy with that either).
Edit: fixed
It was a conflict with Wear Mini Launcher - some GPU resource issue maybe. On your phone, open wear mini launcher, set 'enable drawer' to off. Obviously this means you can't have the launcher active, but at least it is possible to test, without having to un-install.

Install original aosp browser from the play store in first link. Open browser..make sure its good. Then make sure bookmarks are synced. Use a root explorer and over write the original browser with the browser from link I provided. Change permissions....reboot...and walla!

[Help]translation breaks app functions

Hi.
I translated the cloud app from iunios from Chinese to English. Compiled OK
Added resources to original apk.
Added to zip and flashed.
When I load cloud to sign in, everything is english. I enter my login and the app crashes. But I am still login.
Something is broken but can't figure out what.
Modded
https://mega.co.nz/#!6FUVzJrJ!ddaFe9VgTLWARr9wycHtMexrSWmKK_rLdKuwitVnHS8
Original
https://mega.co.nz/#!7Z9SCTgY!Qmm45SF8yFZ_MIXwCrD2EZY7lFsW4i_8-VrOHn6OEO0
Also noticed that the original apk is bigger than the added translation modded version. Which shouldn't have due to the added 108kb strings.XML file
Any help would be great thanks

You need to sign the application either way.
If your app has a login screen, does it access a server of some sort?

Yeah it will connect to the iunios cloud server. It does actually login me in. I know this as in status bar there's a quick click that says logged in with my name.
But can't get into the app due to fc
Can't download contacts MMS etc that's stored on the cloud
@SimpleTool As you see everything fine until I press "into the cloud" then fcs

Can you compare the code side by side so that you didn't miss an important factor? (ie, you left out a comma)
I guess that's the only reason left.
