Aug 20	comment	How can I prevent unwanted pre-installed apps from automatically running on Android? Good answer, though you should also be aware that uninstalling stock apps will prevent you from being able to install future OS updates from your carrier.

Aug 17	comment	How to access Android APKs without rooting Titanium Backup is useful for this too. The APKs are stored in a folder on the root of the SD card called "backup", if memory serves :)
