what he also said was that until apps are proved worthy for extras they shouldn't be available as an installable package, thats what got my back up!

I think a lot of the frustrations here are due to the vague nature of the original post.

There are many skilled, helpful and enthusiastic people here that would be quite happy to spend time looking into potential issues on packages if they were given some clues as to which packages to look at, however given that the OP has stated he is not suffering from any of the issues he is warning about the thread doesn't really have anywhere to go.

I have tried searching t.m.o and can't find any concrete examples of people having problems uninstalling applications (Ignoring overclock threads etc)

Perhaps someone can do better and find evidence of the problem then there could be something to discuss?

Point one application _not_ from extra-testing or extra-devel that caused issues with the phone stability. If not please feel free to stop throwing emtpy accusations.
Thank you.

You, sir or madam, are the definition of "a ******", as in "someone not willing to learn". And you smell like a sock puppet for abill_uk so please drop the spelling mambo.

You continue to sprinkle your verbal offal with "some apps on here" and "so why put them on here" clearly displaying that you haven't spent even a minute understanding what a repository is or what happens when you click on that "Install" button.

With "so why put them on here if ther gonna screw up your fone" you just drive the smell of sock puppetry and ignorance further up all our noses.

Do what the rest of us did: find out how things actually work and take some time and actually read the text in dialogues instead of just clicking "Yes" and "OK".

(And yes, I know I'm giving the troll good stuff to gobble down. It is a lazy Sunday.)

if you don't have the time, then please refresh your n900 to stock firmware and all, or sell/give it to someone who would.

sorry, there is limit to spoonfeeding

You are defending what a guy who has no idea what he is talking about? Yes there are applications that can damage the phone and there are warnings NOT to use these applications unless you know what you are doing and ready to reflash. If you are having a problem with an application that is not from extra-dev or extra-testing please let us know so the respective application can get better.

It is really simple this thread is pointles your posts are pointless. You want to know why? Because you are not saying _anytinhg_ all I can read is bla bla coz application bla bla my fone bla bla.

If you are scared of bears don`t go into the woods.

did you learn your lesson? do you now pay more heed to the numerous warnings? do you now pay attention to what you're doing when installing LOADS OF APPS? can you now let those of us who take responsibility for our own actions determine what is a suitable risk for ourselves rather than nannying the adults due to your failure?

LOOL. I install a ton of apps and games from extras-devel, but haven't ever had an issue. Probably because I know what I'm doing. If you don't know what's going on, follow the red tape advice thats PLASTERED all over these forums and sites. Do not use the extras testing or devel repos. Pretty simple. Stick with that and you wont have a noob's nightmare experience.

Then learn the basics of linux - freedoom and open community. No one here owns you or me anything. Saying things like applications broke my n900 will only cause negative opinions towards you. If you are really interested monitor the phone better next time and sent a bug report for the respective app. Being spanish or nigerian or whatever does not excuse you for your english, there are alot of online dictionaries and spellchecker.
