I once had a screen protector on my pre... it was one of those invisible sheild ones, i hated it, it made the screen feel sticky almost, impossible to glide my finger over at all, though it didnt have any bubbles... as for homebrew apps, they are amazing, along with patches they will fix most porblems with your pre, follow what Levi says to get preware, i personally check it about once a day to see whats new (its now part of my morning schedule, get up, shower, brush teeth, improve palms failures) If its any indication i have about 35 patches installed right now, most of my apps are free homebrew or Palm web store apps, and i have one theme. but jutt be sure to uninstall all themes and patches before you update or they can get "stuck" (preware sas you have em but you really dont) or they may even brick your phone (though i have never had this happen) hope this helps =)

@ronni85, You can not uninstall the apps that came preloaded, Nascar,NFL,TV,Amazon Store. But if you load "Preware" from precentral there is an option to at least hide them.

Download WEBOS Quick install on your PC from here; http://forums.precentral.net/canuck-software/228310-webos-quick-install-v3-02-a.html

Use it to install "Preware" on your phone, You will be happy with the options that Preware gives you once installed.

Well i have a mac and it works just fine, i put it all in a folder labeled palm and it runs great. i do have some java apps that wont work though so perhaps try updating your java?? what kind of mac do you have?? and do you have webosdoctor installed as well??

Hi, astarsfan! Here's how to delete downloaded apps. You can refer to the screenshot below to help you.

1. Tap the gray arrow icon on the lower right of the screen. It's called the Launcher. You'll see all your icons.
   
2. Tap the Launcher dropdown menu in the upper left corner.
3. Tap List Apps...
4. Tap the downloaded app you don't want, and you'll see a red Delete button slide up.
   
5. If you don't see a Delete button, that means it was pre-loaded and can't be deleted. For those, you can at least do this:
   
6. 1. Go back to the icon screen (like you see below.)
   2. Press and hold the icon.
   3. Then drag it either far down on the screen (so it's out of your way) or even drag it to another screen left or right. This lets you set up your icons so the stuff you like is either all on one screen or all at the top.

I'd also recommend any kind of rubberized cover that's shock-impacting. The Pre is a gorgeous and extremely fun device, but it's definitely not the most rugged phone in the Sprint catalog.

There are a bunch of videos and tutorials for the Pre (and other devices) from this page. Just look for the Interactive videos link under the bullet list for your device.

Cheers!
