ahhh I see why it cannot be deleted. I will update the application and post a fix.

Without the email install (sneaky 1.0.4 installed last night) I think I'm gonna have to brave rooting to keep on top of my device.
no not until pregame updates his app... the problem probably lies in a misnamed code. if my memory serves correct i believe this was the problem with the pimpmypre app that would not delete. in any case pregame is on top of it and i am sure that in no time he will have a fully functional app. furthermore when pregame fixes the app you can install using the SDK method and it should update the app already on your phone

I am on vacation and don't have computer internet acces right now. I will try and find find a coffee shop tomorrow to update the app
It'd be appreciated, PreGame, but don't blow your spending money. Vacationland internet cafes are notorious.

Nope, unless the app is in /var/usr/palm/applications you can't delete it without rooting.

PreGame set it to install to usr/palm/applications so you can cd to that dir and run rm -rf <app folder> .

actually i found the real issue. the id was incorrect in appinfo.json you need to change ID to org.webosinternals.app.tipcalculatorredux
Thank You! Updated and deleted.
After the decimal/zero bug is fixed I will be using this version.

so is there a way to delete this now? i love the app, just want it gone till the decimal bug is fixed.
Yes ... if you know how to edit the appinfo.json file.
To take a leap of faith, try installing the attached file to your Pre via the Dev Mode/SDK method. This is the file I packaged on my machine. After installing this, I was able to delete the app from the launcher.
If this doesn't work for you, I apologize. I'm a n00b and might be too close to the edge. I have no "risk" to give so it's all yours to take.
EDIT: Attachment removed.

When you say "delete the app from the launcher", do you just mean to make it disappear from the launcher? Or do you mean to completely uninstall it?
I have not rooted my Pre, so I can't answer your question. Others have commented that all apps, Homebrew and App Cat, all leave something behind.
Without rooting your phone and navigating its innards I don't know of a way to verify if an app has been deleted.
I'm curious to if this has been fixed. I just added the app today and I tried to delete it but it won't let me. I tried Colonel Kernel's but nothing happens

Sorry for the delay_ I had a death in the family and will fix it when I return.
keyhole_s - just checking, are you installing the .IPK I attempted via the Dev Mode/SDK method?
PreGame - take your time, but hurry up ... or something

Yes I installed the .IPK you attempted. and I did it in DevMode where you have to put the file on the palm_install.bat file (I think this is the method you are talking about..is it? hehe). Was I not suppose to go this way? I don't trust myself rooting my Pre....
PreGame - It's okay. I'm sorry for your loss.

Just checking, but you also got into Dev Mode via the Konami Code and restarting your Pre?
how do you change the name of the app ? i have a rooted pre but not too much experience> I did unhide developer mode , so if you give me instructions im sure i can follow them. I want to get rid or the "redux" in the title.
Thanks

Yup I did that. Then went into my computer > c: > program files > palm > sdk > bin > palm_install.bat
The application showed up but when I tried to get rid of it, it would just reappear. Even if I moved it then deleted it..it got put back to it's original spot. In the end i took the easy way out and did a full erase on my pre (i know I probably didn't have to..but I had the time so whatever) I thought it would have taken forever but it went by actually pretty fast. I think there was something wrong with my SDK so I removed it from my computer and reinstalled it. I have yet to try it again.
