To check which programs are running in the background use pTerminal.
Run "ps" for a list of processes
Run "kill <pid>" to terminate a process

What kind of processes you trying to kill? I didn't have any problems with the apps I launched... hrm
That's ODD, I just tried it and it threw an error, and it killed the app too. Wow interesting, i could have sworn it didn't throw that error before, but it killed the app. What about for you, does it kill the app anyway?

It is ok... I thought the same thing and even cleared the data and still have issues.
Can anyone give an example of what the <pid>'s look like ?? Thanx
The PID is the number after the user that is running the file or service.
The first one in the line should look like this.
root 1 0 264 136 c00a5cd0 0000c36c S /Init
So root is the user and the PID is 1, they go in numeric order and on my phone go up to 3716
so if i wanted to kill /Init(which you can't) i would type in kill 1
which right now will throw me an Operation not permitted.

Looking for anyone who wants to help cut the fat on the Espresso SENSE UI.
I'm not a fan of the Legend Sense UI and I think their are a lot of good aspects to the Slide Sense UI.
I think most of these attributes are covered up by the bloatware and redundancies of Tmo, HTC and Google APPs.
Right now I'm just going through APKs, clearing out the non-essentials, and testing to see if I break anything.
I'll keep a list of Safe to Remove here in the OP.
This list is from ROOT, ENG-Build, and flash to SlideMEROOT2. If you have stock, SlideMEROOT2 is stock ROM with extras and allows you to use SuperUser through ClockworkMod. (keep the update.zip from SlideMEROOT2 Flash Thread)
Safe to Remove List (Not set in stone)
T-Mobile Apps
AppPack2.0.apk
Faves.apk..............................(Tmo's useless Faves // Kills dock button // you will crash Contacts if you click add fav)
FavesWidget.apk.....................(Will leave blank spot in Widget List)
mytouchmusic-signed.apk.........(Tmo Internet Radio)
HTCSetupWizard.apk ..............(THIS IS THE TMO SET UP WIZARD AT FIRST BOOT)
SelfHelp.apk .........................(Tmo My Account and My Device For Idiots) TWO FOR ONE SPECIAL!!!
vvm-signed.apk.......................(Visual Voicemail)
The first time you use Visual Voicemail requires Self Help. After that you can remove Self Help and continue to use the VVM.
HTC APPS and Widgets
Mail.apk................................(HTC Mail App)
htcmailwidgets.apk.................(HTC Mail Widget App)
HtcTwitter.apk.......................(HTC's Twitter App: aka Peep)
com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk.......(Peep Widget)
Random Apps
amazonmp3_1.6+24_signed_zipaligned.apk....(Amazon MP3 Store)
BarcodeScanner.apk................(Useful QR Code Scanner but unnecessary)
IM.apk..................................(Google's Instant Message App)
THEMES
Hoops.apk
LightShow.apk
NatureTheme.apk Nest Theme.... I think
Palazzo.apk
Surf.apk
Wildflower.apk
Not sure where Red Rocks Theme APK is....
(Going one by one, so much help would be appreciated.)
If you remove something and things break put it back. Some things may have broke you just haven't tried using the thing it broke, so keep a backup.
NOT Safe to Remove LIST
SetupWizard.apk (If you remove this and wipe the phone you are ****-out-of-luck.)
Screws up Account Syncing
FriendStream.apk
HtcFacebook.apk
NewsReader.apk
Stock.apk
Weather.apk
WeatherProvider.apk
WeatherSyncProvider.apk
Does this help?

There's already a thread for this...
I posted that on someone else's thread and have been using it as a jumping point. There are a lot of Espresso stuff that is buried or mislabeled (probably on purpose). Gotta Catch 'Em All.
That turned into more of a help group thread. I'm specifically looking for people that want to test and keep a list in the main thread. Not sure if the OP of that thread will be updating a list. It didn't seem like it and it was more of a help me shout out.

...and as many of the themes as I possibly can. I'm fairly certain that I would have to leave at least one theme in place in order to prevent a crash upon wiping the phone, so I'll probably be leaving the surf/beach theme on the handset.
Someone in the other thread tried removing Faves and FavesWidget which resulted in crashes/issues with the Contacts app. Someone should try replacing Contacts and Phone with the "stock" versions from a CM5 rom, either the dream/sapphire or N1 version.
FriendStream.apk
Removing this seems to be causing Facebook for Mytouch sync issues. It syncs but the sync icon never goes away, and going into accounts sync google sync stuff shows icons that never go away as well.

peep
HtcTwitter.apk

friendstream doest work correctly if you remove faves so it looks like that one has to stay, at least for me as i like the friendstream for facebook

You CAN remove it, and as long as you aren't going to use favs its not a BIG issue.
It only *****es when you go to the faves icon at the bottom and click add.
If you dont click add it shows a add box at the top.

We should probably limit the "official" apps that can be removed without affecting the functionality of any other apps. For instance, we probably shouldn't advice anyone to remove the Genius app when there's a hardware button set to trigger the launch.
The Peep app is, I believe, htcTwitter.apk. I don't believe you should be removing the Setup app -- I dont know the .apk name -- but it's your phone.
the setup app only displays those 4 options you get when you turn on the phone for the first time.
I am savvy enough to know how to enable email, social networking, and adding contacts all by myself without a program holding my hand lol
There is a stock Setup and there is a Sense Slide Tmo HTC one lol. I'm curious about the contacts app issue... My only problem is the damn app keeps changing it's name from People to Contact and back and forth... It hasn't crashed yet. It only does when you try to add someone but hitting the dock button does nothing, which is a plus. I'm gonna find the correct setup to remove and the T-Mo Account bs right now.
It's a shame removing this crap doesn't get us more usable ram.
/data where **** gets installed to never changes and seems to be a different partition than /system.
Where are you removing it from and how?
/system/app where all the preinstalled crap is
I'm moving it to my sdcard for backup.
And yes, the files are gone, and yes df reports /system has more free space, but like I said, anything you install yourself gets installed to /data which is a seperate partition.
Do a df and see.
Ohh, yeah your personal installs still get saved to RAM sadly. We gotta wait on Apps2SD to fix that, but for now killing the useless stuff preloaded will make room for the stuff you want and need.
Yesterday I got the mandatory Sprint Voice to text update. This really upset me as the main reason I rooted my phone was to get rid of the bloat ware. So now I have Sprint nagware to deal with. So today I installed and set up the Google Voice Mail program and it works really nice. So I decided to delete/uninstall the Sprint Voice Mail Program. I used Titanium back up and I deleted the program. Everything still works well so I figured it was gone and that was that. Later I looked in my app drawer and was surprised to see that the icon for the sprint voice mail was still there. So I tried to drag it into the garbage and it wouldn't go. So I go into root explorer and to to system>app and go down the list looking for a sprint widget that I needed to get rid of and didn't find one. I also made sure that the sprint voice mail program wasn't in there either. So I shut off the phone and started it again figuring that the program was still in memory. Well after the reboot the program is still on my phone and now it's acting like it's a brand new account and asking me if I want to set it up. So this comes to my question how do I get rid of the Sprint Voice Mail. I can't find it in my system folder so what's going on? Anyone else experience this???
Help is always appreciated............
Lisa
You can try to mount your system and remove it via Terminal Emulator. Its a pretty simple process with only a few commands if you want to have a go that route.

It's a system app, updatecore.apk or such
Not sure what updatecore.apk is but as you pointed out it's probably a big deal.
Driving home from work today I was thinking about all this and then it dawned on me that I didn't really delete the Sprint Voicemail app as I thought. Earlier I was using Titanium and I was about to delete the Sprint voice mail app when I realized that it was telling me it was going to delete "Data" only. So in reality I only deleted the Voicemail data and not the entire program. You are probably correct that this program is securely nestled within the core of the Android/HTC/Sprint package. Truly amazing as this may be one of those things that you cannot get rid of. Unless it resides in it's own .apk somewhere and I can target that one program I'm very hesitant at this point to go after it. The interesting thing about deleting the data is it seems to have reverted back to the older version. A box came up after I rebooted the phone asking me if I wanted to personalize my voice mail like I did the first time months ago. Plus being it's not technically "working" as it's not personalized the sprint genie can't target me for upgrade as it doesn't know I'm using it. What do you think of that idea?
So here is where I am. I have the Google voice mail working and it's a very cool little program. I have a "Google phone number" that is free and actually works but I don't have to do anything about it as my original phone number works the voice mail just fine. So in reality I may have beaten Sprint to at least a draw on this one................
So to recap, I would say, if you don't want the voice to text sprint app you could go into Applications and delete the "DATA" and then it doesn't know who you are. Just leave the sprint voice mail application in the "unsetup state" and the monster "Mandatory Update" can't find you. You have effectively turned off the sprint voice mail that way and then you can install a third party like Google voice mail or You mail or anything you want.
Give me you take on this idea. I think this is whats going on and this may be the only fix to opt out of the Sprint program.................
For future reference, all system (non-deletable) applications are located in /system/app. Use Root Explorer to go there and delete them. I think what he meant was to delete the Sprint Updater, which I think is Sprint_Updater.apk, also in that folder.

Ok.... I thought it was something VMCore.apk
I don't remember. I deleted it and put it back with the name "Sprint_VM.apk". Doesn't matter what it's named, but I think you're right about "VMCore.apk".
Okay Gentlemen, I have looked for all those files and the only one that is there is the Sprint_Updater.apk. Nothing there that has a VM or VVM or Sprint VVM or anything like that. I am running the .6 version of the Sprint stock 2.1. But I believe I have it disable for now. As I wrote previously by deleting the data file I have essentially not activated the program. If you do come up with the file to delete that would take the VVM with it I will certainly give it a try but there is nothing in the system>app folder that looks even close.
I so appreciate you taking you time to weigh in on this problem.
Thank you.........

For the life of me I couldn't find what the apk was named -_- Was about to flash 2.1 to find out ha ha
Though I think Regaw's toolbox may allow you to remove it.

See above, delete that to get rid of SVVM for good
Well Gentlemen, again I just went though that directory vary carefully again and there is nothing that even comes close to a VVM or "voice mail" reference at all. It's simply not there.
Have you guys deleted this off your phones before? I guess you all are running some other Rom then the stock one so you haven't faced this mandatory update thing. But the files you are suggesting to remove are not in that directory. As I mentioned the Updater is there in two versions Sprint Updater and just plane Updater.
I don't believe this issue is worth you flashing the stock rom just to check it but that is a real offer and I appreciate that. I admire you guys that flash these phones just for the heck of it. When I have flashed the phone it makes my heart stop.
But thank you for all your responses. I certainly appreciate it........

I don't use stock, and yes I have been able to eliminate VVM.... did you reboot after deleting? Are you looking under system/app?
Yes to both of your questions.
I was thinking the same thing that maybe the program was still resident in the memory so I pulled the battery and everything. It's Sprints FU to the rooting community I guess...............

Still, it should be removable Is it hiding in data/app or data/app-private for some reason?
Okay, you guys aren't going to believe this. But I rebooted the phone and I checked the data/app and the data/app-private. Found nothing in there. Then I went back to the app drawer and the offending program is GONE! I can't find any vestige of it anywhere. So I gather mission accomplished! I don't know what happened as earlier I did the reboot twice and pulled the battery each time and the third time was the charm for some reason. The only file I didn't remove was the Sprint_updater.apk. It's still there. But I have turned off the updates so I shouldn't be bothered by that either..............

There is only 1 app on my phone that I do not want to loose the data for. That app would be aCar. Well, I have been use titanium back up for at least 6 months and i am pretty proficient at using it. Well, I was playing around with my phone, like the lot of us do. I made a backup of aCar before I messed around with my phone. Ended up having to do a data wipe/factory reset on my phone. Restored aCar and it force closes. I can load the app, but the data is corrupt. Is there any way to pull the data from the TiBu backup file. I have about a month worth of data there that I want to save.

Sounds like you may end up losing the data for that app. Imo, for the future, you may want to try syncing with your dropbox account. It could either be an SD card failure, or just a bad backup from the start. IMO, Id copy all info to my computer, reformat and then try again. If it still happens, I would suggest clearing data from the app and try restoring data ONLY. If it still happens, try uninstalling and then restoring it completely, app and data, via tibu. Feeel free to try these in any order. haha.

Give him atleast a day imo. TiBu isnt his single source of income and hes not in the US Hell probably be asking for a logcat, so I would make sure to have that at the ready, or send him an amended email including the logcat.txt for him to check out so that neither of you guys are wasting time waiting for it.
alright, thank you very much for your assistance. i will be sure to get a log cat ready of the app when it fails. do you think i should send him corrupted TiBu data as well?

Imo, start with the Logcat and then move on from there. Np dude, thats what the boards are here for Its not like youre asking stupid things that can EASILY be answered by reading an obvious post. Plus, data corruption can happen to ANYONE. If it happens to me, Id rather know what I can do to fix it Purely selfish motives my good sir. haha. jk....kinda.
HI! Have a big suprise for you! Maybe you knew that, but it's useful for new users like me!
For the fire stick 4k hasn't been rooted, there is not xposed or magisk, and the only way to make fun of it is adb. For example, the Icebox app, the shizuku app, app ops, my android tools.........those apps could be activated by the shizuku app. But first of all, you need a PC to adb the fire stick and activate shizuku everytime you reboot fire stick. It is inconvenient.
So how to adb without PC? Ennnn.....with termux app you can adb the devices itself!!!!!!! And you can activate some apps, those apps could only be activated by adb link.
How to do:
1. install termux
2. install adb tools on termux:
it's on this website:https://github.com/MasterDevX/Termux-ADB thanks for MasterDevX!!!!
you can use this code to install:
apt update > /dev/null 2>&1 && apt --assume-yes install wget > /dev/null 2>&1 && wget https://github.com/MasterDevX/Termux-ADB/raw/master/InstallTools.sh -q && bash InstallTools.sh
3. in the termux, input:
adb devices
then the adb authorize window would pop up, select yes.(in fact, the device want to adb you device is the device itself :laugh::laugh
you could see :"emulator-5554 device"
then, in the termux, input:
adb shell sh /sdcard/Android/data/moe.shizuku.privileged.api/files/start.sh
this could enable shizuku app. Once the shizuku is activated, it could activate the IceBox/app ops /myandroidtools.......
open the shizuku app, it would say:"running".
All done!
4. if you reboot or plug the charger out, you need do this again.
5. when you leave the termux, input "exit" with the return be pressed 2 times. So the code you input would be remembered by termux. Next time you just need the Arrow keys(upside or downside) to repeat the codes.
Notice:
I think the adb authorization of the fire stick is not very good. For many times(on wifi adb), there is no window pop up. So I could only adb with usb line. Maybe for the first time adb with termux, there is no authorize window pop up on fire TV, and the termux would say "emulator-5554 unauthorized". This is how I solve the problem:
open and close and open the adb debugging in settings.
if it didn't work:
Use otg to connect the fire stick to another android phone.
Repeat the termux steps above on both side. Then the authorize window would pop up when you input "adb devices" in termux on both side.
Disconnect. Normally boot up the fire stick, adb itself.

No one is rambling.
For the fans of android, we know that the Icebox is an app to freeze the apps you don't like, even the system apps.
No root, so you need use adb or the shizuku app to enable Icebox.And there is no "****" in the "shizuku".
Sharing experiences with other is a happy thing. And that is why we come to the XDA.If you dont like it, no one can force you to. But please respect the work of others.
Sounds like chinese crypto mining malware. Hard pass. Good luck with that though.

hahahahahaha:laugh:first time to hear that. All the apps above you can find in the google store. The point is how to use termux adb the device itself. Hardly I can find any useful things about this on the internet.But for a unroot device adb is important to do something root-like.
Enjoy it.

Thanks for pointer to Shizuku Manager, It's exactly what I was looking for to enable IceBox.
Now I can disable all those amazon processes on my (new) Firestick 4K without the need to root...
I had actually asked how to do this on another thread!
@tinybilbo
So glad you like it!
Adb the device itself is such a simple but useful thing, but hardly I can find any useful informations on the internet. That is strange ....
Can we use the Shizuku (with Icebox) to 'freeze' OTA updates? I'd like to stay on the current version if I wanted to actually root later.

yeah,I think so. I froze Alexa(the amazon's siri), and when I press voice button on the remote, threre is nothing show up on TV. The progress was frozen.
I think it can stop the ota, too.

Well... every app I froze has definitely stopped and persists across reboots (even the main launcher "FTVLauncher"), So from my experience I would say "yes"

which command did you use to disable the launcher? It's the only reason I'm missing root lol.

I didn't use any adb commands to freeze the launcher...
I used the Shizuku manager (read the OP on how to do this) to enable Icebox - which is an Appfreezer ( I also need the mousetoggle.apk since icebox works best with a mouse).
Once Icebox was working I froze the FTVlauncher.apk, just be aware when you freeze the main launcher you lose access to the FTV settings.
Just re-enable FTVlauncher to get it back.

Have you read? Which eye of yours did see I use PC to do all the works above?Maybe arrogancy and carelessness make people blind.

What's wrong with you? How can you make such irresponsible remarks? You are the one who repeatedly humiliate others just for your own mistake and bad attitude. Say it again, it's you are the one who treat others un-friendly, bitterly and sarcasticly at first, and untill now. Yes, I did replied you straightforwardly at first, not for my self-esteem, but for your groundless accusations.
Xda is a friendly forum for all the fans of android. Are you a developer or a programmer? Do you know geek's life is simple and beautiful but the life of intrigue against each other is very tired? I replied you carefully like to anyone else in XDA, untill now.Because I just found what you do is to ruin my thread, mislead other readers, and just for take your own personal revenge.
The only reason I come here is to learn, and share all I know to help other people. But you never rest.
So please stop that.
I think we should be careful of what we do, for God is above and won't be so easy-fooled just like me, or some other people.
Lol, you mad
