Hi, can anyone tell me how to remove Live Wallpapers from my Device.

Thanks

JayJ:
Do you want to remove a LWP from your homescreen or remove them from your tablet?

To remove a LWP that you have chosen simply choose a wallpaper that is not a LWP, either long press the homescreen and select wallpaper or...

Settings> Display> Wallpaper> Select an option.

If you mean remove a LWP totally from your N7, you can't per say but you can disable them...

Settings> Apps> All> select a LWP, tap to open App info screen and select Disable.

Sometimes I don't want some of the stuff these gadgets come with and I want rid of them.  I am now looking to see if I can do something about getting rid of the Widgets that are on the N7.  I don't see the point of these when you have Apps.

:-)

JayJ:
You can't remove widgets with removing the application they are a part of and you can only uninstall app if you root your device, I wouldn't recommend uninstalling system apps though. Any system apps removed will stop future OTA updates.
If there are applications that you don't use you can disable them, to do this...

Settings> Apps> All

Scroll through the apps, including system apps and once you have found an app you don't require tap and once in the info screen tap disable. Most system app scan bee disabled but there are some important apps that are part of the OS and cannot be disabled.

Apps I have disabled.

All Live wallpapers
Currents
Earth
Google Korean keyboard
google Pinyin
