Hi guys,
I've read the answer to this somewhere on the MT4G thread here but can't find it anymore for some reason.
I've rooted with the S off and all that good stuff and I do remember someone saying Titanium Backup would be a good way to remove all the T-Mobile stuff but....
1-I don't remember what is safe to remove
2-How exactly can I remove the stuff with Titanium Backup?
I'd appreciate if someone can direct me to the right thread or just help me out.
P.S: On a separate question, when I try to write someone's name on Handcent SMS into the TO part, contacts are showing in doubles. One without a dash between the numbers and one with a dash between the numbers in the format of 555-444-3333(the american way) It also happens on an app I use called Fast Dialer. I checked my contacts/view and I only have one selected which is PHONE.
Thanks again.

Not sure what you want to know that's not described in these 4 threads already.
thanks mate.
I know this might sound stupid but I get this screen below on the backup/restore section of TB and I can't seem to figure out how to freeze apps through this section.

click on "problems?" and it'll download the busy box, titanium backup will restart and you'll see the apps installed.
great. thanks a million. they are all in there now.
I used Root Explorer. I just selected the apps I wanted out, cut them and made a folder in my SD card. I pasted them there just in case I need to put them back. As soon as I did that, they were gone from my app drawer.
"Freeze" them in Titanium. It will remove them from your drawer listing but keeps all files on the phone in the event they are needed for future upgrades. You'll forget they ever existed; and you can "unfreeze" them later to put them back in the app drawer if you ever want to use them again.

or... MAKE A NANDRID... then uninstall them and free up the space on your phone... you can make backups first and restore them in the future if necessary or you can skip the backup crap and use the nandroid to restore in the future...
thanks for all the responses guys.

Erm for backup there's mybackup n titanium backup, pretty much similar but ud have to see what best suits your backing up needs. titanium backup is also useful for saving app data such as the settings so saves fiddling about and mybackup allows you to also save contacts, msgz n so forth!
Advance notice - backing up stock apps with titanium backup is useless cause it doesn't show a restore option for it..
Google stuff I tend to avoid cause usually some sort of link to market o suma
No Mediascape would prevent you setting wallpapers except stock ones I think.. but I'm alright cause I just use third party apps!! I think some people have mentioned something about attaching mms errors. upto you tho
No Timescape would result in errors when trying to open up contact details.. some people use other apps such as acontacts or takephone (i fink thats what its called) to make up for it!
I've removed the standard email app cuz I don't use it (not the google 1)
I did take messaging off once to replace with chompsms but suma started to go wrong, delays, missing msgz! so avoided that!
Ive uninstalled the alarm clock n used kaloer clock although used to get the odd few errors here and there.. minor!
you can get rid of the keyboards if you only want to use the one.. id suggest swype! so easy messaging.. god knows what I'd do without it!!
Im sure there's a thread with better info on what's safe to uninstall.. just need to search.
ok I think I should stop for now lolz.. already an essay!! jus saw no replies so jus saying whatever came to mind..
hope its of any use.. if you need any info, jus drop me a PM n il try help ya if I can!!

At the bottom of my Titanium Backup application list I see two entries: `com.android.htcprofile` and `recovery`. Both are crossed out, as if they stand for uninstalled applications. They are not backed up, so there's no reason for them to appear in the list. Refreshing the list does not make these entries to go away.
What are these entries? What is the importance of having them in the list? Why does Titanium Backup display these entries in the list, even though Titanium Backup itself seems to understand that they are "uninstalled" and not backed up?
BUMP
I was wondering the same thing, I don't see Recovery anywhere in my list but I do see com.android.htcprofile
I'm having problems with my widgets disappearing on the stock Rom. Only on the stock homescreen not ADW. Was thinking this could be the cause possibly?

If it was i am thinking it is.
HTC profile is a stock application much like blackberry has different applications. Same basic idea. When you are are home, and you have the "home profile" active it will not pull your work emails. If you are at work it pulls everything but lowers the volume not to disturb people around you.
and i do not have "recovery" on mine so i do not know what it does.
google doesn't even know the answer to your question, therefore, it must not have an answer.

Well, what I'd like to know is not what "HTC profile" does. The main question here is really about Titanium Backup: what exactly does that mean when Titanium Backup shows in its list an application that is crossed-out?
Normally, Titanium Backup shows a crossed-out application when you uninstall something. An uninstalled app is shown crossed-out until you refresh the list. After refresh it disappears. Sometimes, an uninstalled application might remain in the list if you previously backed it up. So, a persistent crossed-out entry normally means "it is uninstalled, but you still have a backup for it".
In my case I see `com.android.htcprofile` and `recovery` crossed-out in the list, but I have no backup for these applications. So, the question is why Titanium Backup keeps showing them in the list? What is Titanium Backup trying to tell me by keeping these crossed-out entries in its list?
Same here. DAMN, and I just did a system wipe, thinking I unistalled something by mistaki
I ended up at this thread when I Googled after encountering the same thing. I came across it because I was trying to free up some space. It is associated with a 4 MB+ text file which Titanium can't delete. I think the text file is the reason it's showing up.
So I have DL09 across the board (kernal, blackhole rom, radio), and im thinking about making the switch to eb01, but I dont want to go through the hastle of reinstalling everything and setting up my phone the way I like it. Is there any way to do the upgrade without losing everything?
Also, is the gps realllllllly fixed this time? I thought dl09 and the 05 were supposed to fix it but neither worked for me.
Any help would be useful. I dont need lengthy explanations if you are busy, just more of a steer in the right direction. I used to read this and the dev forum religiously but ive fallen behind I feel like I dont know where to start.
Thanks in advance everyone!

Well.. you can use titanium backup to back up most of your stuff. For icon placements and stuff it depends on your launcher although mybackups never restored after wiping and then installing eb01 so who knows
Most third party launchers have a home screen backup capability... And Titanium Backup is the way to go for backing up your apps and their data. The paid version makes it even easier, allowing for batch restores without having to manually reinstall each app. Also, link all your contacts to gmail, and they will all be restored once you get setup again.
Following these easy steps will allow you to get your phone set back up in just a few minutes after flashing a new ROM
HAAA! u guyz make mw laugh! More like an hr. kayy.

Would like to know if there is a simple way to remove the crap apps they preinstalled on my evo, like stocks and its widget, sprint football etc.
I'm not sure all this root and roms stuff is for me I don't invison doing the things you all do I just want to get rid of some of the apps I'll never use that drain the battery and use up space.
Thanks
Steve
Thanks
You have to be rooted first. The go into titanium backup, and you can delete the stock sprint apps; football, ect.

Couldn't he use that temp root application with titanium backup then just reboot his phone?
I think the temp root application is called 4zroot or something.

I would suppose he could; but I've never used it, so I didn't recommend it having no use with it, or its limitations; other than it looses root after every reboot.
I don't think z4root supports the EVO

But like teh roxxorz said I have never used it so I don't know. As easy as it is to run unrevoked I would say just use unrevoked and be done with it. That way fubar59 can install a custom recovery and make a nandroid backup before removing anything. Making it that much easier to fix if something goes wrong because some of the app are required by the system. Than it is to explain to Sprint why their apps are not on the phone.
I know you said you don't think you want to bother with rooting and all but...
If it's really that big of a deal to get the bloatware off I'd say go ahead and just spend a little time and root your phone...
I didn't really think I wanted to bother with it either but after I did I started flashin all sorts of stuff and am really glad that I did it...
Plus, after you root and get the stuff off that you dont need then you can just keep on using your phone the way you always have and when/if you ever feel like making a nandroid or flashing a new ROM then you're set...
Questions
OK, thanks for the answers. I guess I'll root the thing as I am tired of the crap apps reactivating after I force close them. Battery drain when you are away from your charger is a problem for me on several occassions and it is a pain in the butt.
Thanks again for the replys!

You are completely misunderstood. DO NOT force close any apps in android, or use task killers. They are not needed, and THEY are causing your battery to drain faster.
Android is completely different from windows. Just because you see all those programs listed as "running" in your task killer, well they actually arent. They are just cached. Android likes to keep its memory full of apps, and if it needs more memory, it will handle that by closing apps on its own.
When YOU force close any apps, the Android OS sees a lot of empty space in its memory, and will automatically load those apps back into cache. That's the reason why everytime you force close those apps, they come right back. Because you are disrupting the way android works.
if the apps you uninstalled keep returning after a reboot, use a file manager with root and navigate to /system/apps and delete the ones you dont want, then uninstall them again
sorry, was referring to my earlier question. Still learning this site and its tools.
Hello,
Has anyone created a comprehensive list of all the stock apps that can safely be removed from the M? The last time I attempted to remove everything that I wont use I ended up having to reinstall the rom because I deleted something that it seems was needed. If there is can you please link me? If not could someone please take the time to make one? All help is appreciated!

Yes something almost exactly like that. I did view that thread but am not sure that I could use that as an uninstall list. I don't know the difference between an uninstall and a freeze except to say that an uninstall will remove it from the device. My thinking was that if the phone needs the app it can be frozen, and not show up in the drawer, which is fine in some cases however, in my case I am wanting everything not needed removed for freeing up space for the large games I am using the phone to play.
