  1. If you are wanting to remove the remote, you need to unhook the receiver which is in the box where fan connects to ceiling box. Disconnect the receiver then tie the wires coming into the fan box to the fan wires. You will have to tie the blue and black leads from fan together with the black wire coming into the box. Also if you have 2 of each wire in switch box, one is the power coming in and the other is the wire going to fan.


  2. The black wires are the hot, the white the neutral, the green is the ground.  It seems with the two black wires, you may have a continuous circuit to another fixture, (light or outlet), or hot coming in and one feeding the fan.  You need to determine which wire feeds the fan and which is the hot and connect the fixture feed  through the wall switch.  The white and green wires should be left intact.  If you are not sure about wiring, get a qualified electrician.
