Root Uninstaller: getting rid of those nasty system apps

System apps are those apps that were already installed on your device when you first booted it. Those apps cannot be uninstalled the way you can uninstall apps you installed yourself.

Are you TIRED of one or more of those apps because
  • you're not using them?
  • they're taking up system resources?
  • they keep coming back as a background process?
  • they're draining your battery?

Well... IF you're familiar with Linux commands, you could remount the /system folder with the rw option, delete the specific apk's from the /system/app folder, remount the 
/system folder with the ro option...

BUT IF YOU'RE NOT
 (or you just want an app to do that for you), t
hen maybe it's time to give Root Uninstaller a try. It can uninstall regular and system apps, but it requires ROOT access if you want to uninstall system apps.

Find it here or here if you're reading this from your device.

Wikango: speed camera warnings

Wikango is a GPS warning system for both fixed and mobile speed cameras. It doesn't turn your device into a speed camera detector (which would be illegal) but it allows you to share information about speed cameras with the 1.5 million users of Wikango. The number of Wikango-users on the road or the area you are driving is indicated and reporting a camera is easy as tapping the screen.

Find it here or here if you're reading this from your device.

€9.90 for Android devices (BUT FREE FOR THE iPhone???)
