Removing AppTap Completely

[berkleeboy210]

Hey Guys,

Just incase us apptap users are affected by the update this week, is there a way I can remove the entire installer.app from my iPhone? I'm using a PC w/ Vista. I removed all the software apps, but i can't seem to find a way to remove the installer. Did some Google searches to, and came back w/ nothing.

All help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Although I just changed the theme, to the leapord theme and it looks very sexy, and i switched the size of the dock from the regular to mini.

Hoping we can still use this, past 1.1.1

Are we sure that we have to remove apptapp to install 1.1.1.?

I don't think a restore completely clears the phone from apptap.
3rd party preferences are saved with the backup iTunes makes...I think. this is because every time I restore and put apptap back on, all of my preferences and such are still there.

I think the trick is, when it's done restoring, and shows up again in iTunes, instead of choosing restore from backup, click on "Set up as New Phone". I checked this with an Apple Tech. and he said doing it this way, will in a way "rewrite the OS software on your phone from scratch" you don't have to go through the activation process again, just click on the Set up as New Phone, and you should be good.

I'm just completing a Restore using that method now, will let you all know what happens when the update is released.

YOU PEOPLE ARE KILLING ME!

So if I restore it and set it up as a new iPhone, how does that work?

what does a reactivation do?

Reactivating, doesn't affect your account at all. just follow the prompts on the screen. I've restored from the
"Set up a new Phone" mode twice, and nothing has gone wrong.

Just to expand on the Reactivation a bit, I think when it does that, it's just resetting the ATT info on the phone, it takes like 2 minutes for it to reactivate after setting up as a new phone, restore is complete.

When a new update comes out, just wait for the guinea pigs to update first and report their problems (or lack thereof).

Do you have to be signed into iTunes or anything like that?

I always leave my comp signed in, so I'm not entirely sure on that. but i'm assuming yes.

With the previous updates, was it required to setup a new iPhone when you restored?

I only installed AppTap today, so I can't speak for previous updates. But the only time before I did a "Set up a new Phone" restore mode, is when I plugged my phone into the wall charger, at night. woke up the next morning and it told me to connect to iTunes, did a backup restore and still didn't work right. so I called apple and the tech told me to do the set up as a new phone. and ever since then it's been working perfectly.
