    How to update pre installed apps

    This needs to be stickyed somewhere.

    How do you install the new version of preinstalled apps??
    I.E facebook or launcher Pro.

    I tried uninstalling them from the settings menu and no luck.
    I tried uninstalling FB from the market. no luck!!!!
    THIS is th most frustrating thing about roms.

    (not complaining just stating my opinion.)

    Remove/delete them using root explorer or titanium backup from the system/app folder, reboot ur droid, then install from market.

    Go to Ultimate Settings at the top of the settings menu. Inside there is a choice to install / uninstall different apps. It will allow u to choose Facebook as an option to uninstall. Then download from the Market.

    One very important piece of info here is that sometimes you will have to reboot in order to install the new program. So if you get one that still won't install after you have removed the original reboot and try again.

    Lol tried rebooting no luck.
    The file in the data>app folder just tells me I can install the file.

    Here's what i've tried
    Uninstalling from market
    Uninstalling from UD settings
    Rebooting
    No file in the system>app folder
    File in the data>app folder.

    I did not wipe when I installed 2.5
    The FB app I have is the smoked them I download from this section.
