Deleting HTC Apps (problem I am having) - EVO Shift 4G General

With any rom that I have flashed, I have removed a few of the HTC Widgets and Programs.
The problem that I am noticing is that when I delete the apps using root explorer it lowers the amount of space free on my phone.
Example - I flashed the MikShift rom - and removed Footprints, Peep, Stocks, News, FM Radio, and other various HTC and Sprint Apps, but in doing so - it took away storage space from my phone. Any idea as to why, or how I can remove these apps without it taking away from the storage space on my phone.
It took me from probably 330MB free to 240MB free. I came from a Samsung Epic and never had this problem with removing any of these apps.

Not sure on the storage issue, I'm not running any bloated roms, though.
Try removing them with titanium backup, see if it will recreate the issue.

I will try that - I was using root explorer. if i delete them from the ROM before i flash then it is fine. Using the MikSense rom - on first boot i have 368 free in SD and Phone Storage.
on a side note, it seems that every rom i have tried i have MMS issues with. the only one i didnt was preludedrews, I think.
When you say remove with titanium backup - do you mean the recovery hack to delete?

if you have root you dont need to use the hack. he means just use TB to uninstall it

thanks - now i dont have any 3G with the mikshift rom - going to RUU back to stock - re-root - and re-flash it. I just want a speedy decent stock rom without all the BS and working data and MMS for the moment.
I am really hoping that a good MiUi Port or CM 6/7 gets here soon enough. I got tired of waiting for either of those on the epic

ive been running the stock rom, rooted, and OC'd to 1.2 and all the bloat removed and have no problems with anything. the stock rom runs fine. just wish someone would finish porting the desire rom. that is the sweetest rom on here so far

Edit after I wiped cache and dalvik to flash the 1.8 back I gained 11mb .......Ok so I deleted sprint tv tel Nav quick office and some other apps I can't remember I didn't lose any internal memory I used TB but I only gained 2mb internal storage Lmao not much....I'm wondering if the shift will ever have a memory boost from firerat like the G1/hero

cool - i will give it a shot.
I ended up RUU'ing back to stock, re-rooting, re-flashed clockwork, and have used Titanium Backup to uninstall everything I didnt want. I also used the Install Updates into ROM function of titanium and now I have about 360 MB free on my phone, with only Titanium and ES File Manager Installed.

Perfectly Clone one Vibrant to another vibrant

I have a Vibrant with fusion 1.1 that is going back to T-mobile. Is there a way to just clone everything on this phone to the new phone.
Can I just copy Titanium backup form the old phone and put it on the sd card of the new one. Is there a better method?
You need to flash back to stock using odin, just go to the development section and click om the.sticky, under odin roms. Click the.stock one and flash,

I'd do a nandroid and back up the apps and data in titanium and save them to the SD and then put that SD in the new phone that comes.

What would happen if I copied all the contents of the internal memory (all files ,all folders) then copied those over the contents of the new phones internal memory?. Nandroid and TB are not normally saved to the external SD card.
Or should I just load the new rom on the new phone and just copy the TB folder to the new phone and restore from that?
Nandroid and titanium are a good start but neither of those will do things like modem files.
So I would add on the new phone do a base install of fusion 1.1 with the appropriate kernel, i think you said was your rom, then a nandroid restore and that should get you there

I'll chime in with my opinion. Granted my opinion comes from my experiences constantly experimenting with different roms. I've flashed the phone this month almost as often as I've received actual phone calls for crying out loud!
The amount of time expended on looking for such a perfect method seems to be greater than the amount of time spent merely reconstructing an equivalent environment.
Keeping all of my contacts on google and using appbrain to have the ability to keep a known inventory of apps...I can reconstruct my daily driver environment from one rom to another in about 30 minutes max without the need to explicitly backup anything.
Though this may not work for everyone, it surely would work for most. Just a thought...
Using AppBrain would mean you would have to constantly re-download your apps. Also, this does not save the settings and what about apps that are not on the market?
I use Titanium Backup if I want to transfer all my apps and settings. Nandroid would be very appropriate to transfer over all the of phone's data, granted you also manually include the correct modem and kernel.
Doing a Titanium Restore surely takes less time then redownloading and installing from the market, especially if you have the Pro version as it is MUCH MUCH quicker.

Titanium can save some time, but honestly not enough to write home about, at least for me. It's a matter of a few minutes different in my experience.
The reason why I do not use Titanium, despite the fact that it can save some time is that it can lead to complications especially when bouncing between 2.1 and 2.2 derivative roms, depending on what you back up of course. I'll use it when I'm staying within the domain of 2.1...or staying within the domain of 2.2. Crossing those domains however I never use Titanium. I've had more problems than not, and admittedly that may be due to my ignorance of what things are truly safe to restore across different versions of Android.
Then again I'm probably unusual compared to the OP, in that I experiment with EVERYTHING, up to and including a little bit of my own firmware cooking after the fact. Every firmware and experimental firmware and filesystem hack has at some point been on this phone, but that's how I roll.
Doing without deliberate backups hasn't drastically changed my restore times. Setting up the few apps that require setup takes a matter of seconds when I decide to use that app.
It's nice to get a fresh install - just TB and and reinstall after!

if you want exact - nandroid
otherwise use TitaniumBackup Pro
This is what I would do. I would perform a nandroid. After doing so I would then copy everything in the internal sd to your computer. When the new phone comes. Copy everything into the new phone's internal sd. Root your phone, install clockwork mod. Flash a new rom if you want if not no biggy. Load up into clockwork mod, do an advanced restore, restore data only. Reboot. Reboot again. Load back into clockwork mod, clear cache and dalvik. Reboot twice. Run fix permissions. Reboot. Everything should work with no errors and it will look identical to your last vibrant. You could condense this but I wrote it so that you could install buncha diff roms without having to do titanium restore because that just takes a ****ing long time if you have a **** load of apps installed.

Thanks for the lengthy explanation , that makes the most sense.
I will try this method . Thanks for taking the time.
Hey rancome7 - did you try this method? How did it work for you.. I may just do this right now as im in the same situation of wanting to clone my Vibrant to a new Vibrant
Question - wont restoring data from a nandroid after installing a new ROM cause the rom to act funny since the old data may not agree with it or overwrite something?

Removing bloatware

I have tried to remove some of the bloatware (blockbuster,trialware,vzw junk) with no luck .I have tried both deleting the apk or renaming to .old in root explorer and as soon as I reboot it comes back. I know I have root because I have ran setcpu and other apps requiring root. Is thete anything I need to do differently? I am coming from the original Droid.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
I would not recommend removing the bloatware entirely, but instead buy Titanium Backup pro. With that, you can freeze the apps so they can't be seen or used, but if and when we get an update, you won't have to worry about trying to find the right files.
Bloat
I have rooted using Z4 and removed bloatware using Titanium with no problems.
My purpose in removing the bloatware would be to save battery, memory, space and not to have stuff running in the background I do not want or need. I don't really want to flash a ROM. Is there a way yet to remove the VZ stuff after rooting?
I would use Titanium Backup and freeze those programs. If you remove them completely, you won't be able to install OTA updates, like the looming Froyo one.
Thanked. Now freezing means they are still there and take up space but not memory or battery life? They are not running?

Yes, that's what it is. Freezing them in Titanium backup essentially removes them, but leaves the files in place. You won't be able to access anything that is frozen outside of Titanium Backup until it is thawed. When you get a notification about an update, just thaw all the frozen apps, and update away.
I do a similar thing. I change the file name to name.apk.bak so it doesn't appear. But leaves it if I want to restore.

I read elsewhere that if you just rename the files to .apk.bak they reappear on a reboot.
Also, I am looking for a way to remove the Bing garbage, hopefully a batch process of some sort to replace it all with Google.
The D17 ROM looks nice but it also appears development was just stopped while it was still beta? I cannot find a good explanation of how to get the ROM on there. I keep seeing "Odin" but cannot find the latest version download link and there are no tutorials on how to use it.
If you don't know how to use odin you shouldn't bother with flashing 0_o one mistake in there and you can easily be done.......
Also, if by DL17 CLEAN ROM, then you can rest assured it works fine.. There are no bugs..
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA Premium App
Aye, you are correct, I have no idea what to do with Odin. That's pretty much the reason I didn't want to flash a ROM. With a WinMo phone flashing a ROM is easy...I am completely n00b with Android.
The only reason I would flash it is the whole "CLEAN" thing. I would prefer to achieve that effect without the need to flash. Rooting my new phone was nerve wracking enough, but I got it done due to these forums. :thumbsup:
You could always use Launcher Pro and just hide the apps.

Lol, I got your back man.... If you ever want to flash a rom or need help with odin, just pm or something...
When it comes to odin, as long as your connection is guaranteed, and you use **pda** instead of **phone** you should be golden... Even if something does go wrong, it is really hard to brick samsung phones xP

Things that I want to know before I change to CM7

Hi guys, I'm a stock rom user and I've getting bored of my current screen. It looks like stock rom has less themes. And after I've go thru the theme's topic in this forum, CM7 has really attracted me with it's beautiful theme. I would like to change to CM7 and I have few question to ask before I'd really change it =)
- I heard that CM has a bug of, showing all the contacts in numbers instead of name. Is this true? Or has it fixed? Can someone list me the bugs of CM?
- Is it available to use the market app that I'm using now? If i used Mybackup to backup my phone, after I have turn it into CM, can I download back the Mybackup and then restore my things?
- What are the other features can be found on CM7? Can it overclock too?
Please provide me other relavent infos that I need to know before I turning my wildfire into CM7.
Thanks a thousand
OK to answer your question about bugs. I'm on the RC1 and haven't found any! Everything works perfectly! If you find anything let them know and it might be fixed in a nightly.
Yes you can download mybackup and then restore all your apps! I use titanium backup as it has more features but mybackup works just as well.
Other features: Loads!!! Basically everything is configurable!
When you asked if it can overclock, all ROMS can be overclocked, however you must first install an overclock kernal like HCDR.Jacob 4.1 which I use.
Hope I've been of help, if you've now got any more questions stick them below!
Things to know about before changing is that you CAN'T get any HTC apps on it, and that's really it!
Also CM doesn't have an FM radio. Don't know if Jacob will add it in the future.
first of all, thanks to djdevine2 and imlgl for the reply. much appreciated =).
@djdevine2
what do you mean by "Things to know about before changing is that you CAN'T get any HTC apps on it, and that's really it!"? only HTC apps but on the apps on the market right? what is an example of HTC apps? Htc Sense?
titanium backups can backup contacts also? i dont mind about apps, the most important thing for me is my contacts. i couldnt afford to lose any of it.
what do you mean by RC1?
@imlgl
i see no radio huh. but what does that radio worked as? I think it's not referring to the FM AM broadcast radio right?
and yeah if anyone has the full thread of installing CM7 and all the relevent stuffs, please provide me also?
I can't wait to try it out already X).
thank you very much!

Yeah, you can't install HTC apps like the HTC Camera or the HTC FM radio or the sense launcher. No titanium backup doesn't do contacts but when I created contacts I created them on google so I just log in and they're downloaded straight away.
RC1 is the best version of CM7 at the moment in terms of things working.
Answering your question to @IMLGL by radio they mean the FM radio, it will NOT work in CM7 but you can download apps that let you stream it so it's not much of a problem!
Are you rooted? I can guide you to it if you need it or I can go straight to CM7!
I'm sure you'll like CM7!
CM7 is pretty good.

Ummm Titanium Backup does do contacts. And SMS, and Calendar, etc, but it probably wont work as its moving from HTC to AOSP ROM.
Cyanogenmod.com has a wiki that details the install process, and also their own forum.
I have found a few bugs, mostly minor though and safely ignored. One that comes to mind is that when trackball centre is assigned to screen-on, it sometimes does nothing. CM7 is freakin' awesome, and so fast. Gameboid runs full speed when holding down screen unlike other rom's. And gingerbread is such an improvement! I especially love the customization in the Notifications button widget... best access to music controls when in another app!
Edit: just do a nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM. If the new one doesn't work out, restore nandroid and no harm done

Could you elaborate on that? I.e. how you overcame it, and what you did wrong? It's not very nice trying to scare people for no reason. I have never had a nandroid restore cause a bootloop.
Hahaha i'm not trying to scare them, it just happened. I don't know why :S, after formatting my sd card, repartitioning it and putting everything back, it was all fine. it happened when i tried to upgrade wildpuzzle, LOL.
Well yes, you should always format the swap partition (if you have one) and also do a full wipe/factory reset to erase the .android_secure folder before restoring from a nandroid backup (all under Clockworkmod). Recovery is known to be quite buggy on the Wildfire, though it's mainly with the ADB server.
@djdevine2
hey there. couldnt install htc camera, but there are others camera apps on market right?
maybe you can list me a list of apps that i should get after i change to CM7 TONIGHT<< .
my phone is rooted! android 2.2 rooted. so how do i start now?
@jonusc
hey there. =). so titanium backup is out, and then does nandroid backup contacts too? i've used mybackup and it worked quite well. so if no other suitable backup apps i guess i will just stick to it?
@kevin2516
huh huh that will encounter errors too? how often does that happen on people who did the same thing like you?
It was a rare occurrence, only happened like once or twice. But it really doesn't bother me since i'm used to flashing and restoring apps with titanium backup only takes like 20-30min. (i don't have over 100 billion apps i want) ;D

I can't tell you what apps you'll like or find useful! But I like overclock widget for overclocking and LCD density is quite cool!
I have bought MyBackup Pro, I may try it. I had a problem with TB, I backed up everything in CM7 and reinstalled fresh, but it does not restore Widgets for ADWLauncher properly
Nandroid is very different to MyBackup/TB. It takes a complete 1:1 image of your phone. Yes it does do contacts, but you cannot restore those contacts individually - you use nandroid as a complete ROM restore. Before you edit your firmware, Nandroid is used as a backup incase you want to revert. It has no use for migrating across rom's, but is the best and only way for an exact entire backup.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk
actually i've found the best way to backup contacts!
just go into the phone/contacts there, press menu, export to sd card and thats done! done perfectly!
and for notes backup, i suggest you all to use OnePunchNotes. It can backup either automatically or manually, then restore it even with password. This is the best notes app that I've found so far.
for the apps i dont really care i can download it again =).
Im in CM7 now, the GUI is awesome!!!!!!! makes my phone so fresh
but just one problem, sometimes the apps will get force closed and hang, anyone knows why?
p/s: the kernal for overclock is same as stock rom? what what jacob?
Force close AND hang? They are both completely different things. Which one is it? I get no FC's, if you do try a permissions repair in ROM manager.
If you mean hanging, yes I get this too but only within first few minutes of booting up. Just press Wait and let it finish, pressing Close will make it take even longer to load. Remember that this is RC, it is still in testing stages, so there's nothing you can do except wait for a new version.
Yes, Jacob's HDCR kernel is already in CM7. It is probably best to stick with it too instead of flashing the generic one.
Under performance settings, using a 32mb heap and enabling JIT may help with hanging. Also, switching off dithering definitely helps reduce hanging. It also seems to make my emulators faster
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk
so means that i can directly install SetCPU into it right? I see.
And 1 more thing, the video keeps hang, do you know why? When i start play the video then after 3 secs it hanged =(
I don't know for sure cause I don't have a Wildfire myself, but in cm7 you can change the CPU speed in Settings - CyanogenMod settings - Performance - CPU settings
it force closed =(

[Q] Best Out... ?

I bought a Desire Z about two weeks before the 1.72.405.2 OTA update came along, and I allowed it to update (Yeah I know, this was after all my first Android device).
Anyway, lately my phones been running slowly and apps force closing, so I've decided to downgrade it and root it (psneuter method), and try some different ROM's.
What I was wondering is, what would be the best way without root, to backup as much of my data as possible, apps, sms, files, and also if possible a backup that I can use in case I scew it up, so I can get it back to the way it is now.
I have a copy of:-
RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed
which I believe is the stock ROM for this device, but as far as I know if it goes wrong I'll be unable to flash this as the update won't allow me to flash an earlier version..
Would I be able to mount and then backup the whole phone using adb or any other method.
I've been reading about it for a while now, and while I have lots of bits of information, I've been unable to find a good solution.
Thanks,
...John...

Without root, a good app to backup your other apps is astro file manager, its available free from the market, you just have to hit menu, tools and it'll back up all the apps on your sd card, in terms of files, just make sure their all on your sd card and they'll be fine
Not sure how to back up SmS but i know their are apps out their, a point you may have forgotten is to make sure you back up your contacts as they all get wiped and I made this mistake, the easiest way to do that is to make sure your contacts sync up with your google account so after rooting, you can just sync them back,
Hope i helped!
Use google to remember what apps you've downloaded from market. Once associated, when you flash a new rom, google will automatically redownload all your associated apps. For sms, i suggest you download GoSMS and use their internal backup feature. It will save to sd and be visible to your stock sms app as well on restore.

Ya but too many times google starts restoring apps that I uninstalled months ago. Great idea but bad implementation imo.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Sorry I haven't replied, was in work all day yesterday.
I have Astro File Manager, but I hadn't even considered it, thanks. I have my contacts sync'd with Google, so it seems that as long as I backup my files and sms everything else should be done automatically anyway.
Go SMS seems worth getting anyway, as the bog standard Android messages app is seriously dull. I'll give it a try.
I had wondered about Google Market restoring apps, but I thought it would only reinstall apps that were installed at the last sync.
If you install an app and it screws up your phone, and do a factory reset then Google will just reinstall the app that caused all the problems in the first place.
Definitely a good idea, but needs more work.
Anyway, thanks for all the info, I'll give it try tonight, when I get back from work.
...John...
I find SMS Backup & Restore to be the best app for this purpose and I wouldn't recommend the backup feature from the market, as you said it is likely to give problems.
Without root though, the backup choices are somewhat limited for apps and such.
I've been using Super Manager by gpc. It works pretty good, plus offers a ton of other features that can be used with or without root.
I've backed up what I could, although it's typical that as soon as it's all gone I realised things that I should have wrote down (I had been using the wallet/pocket app and although I backed up all my apps, I'm guesing it won't have backed up any of the passwords, logins, bank details, etc).
Anyway, I've downgraded and successfully rooted my phone (through gfree), I have CID: 11111111 and S-Off, but I haven't installed and ROM's yet as I read somewhere that you are supposed to wipe everything between ROM's, am I wiping the Davlik cache or doing a factory reset (I mean won't the factory reset just reset my stock ROM back to it's original condition).
I'm also wondering about finding custom ROMs, on my dell streak I had installed ROM Manager and could get a list of any that were available.
I first installed ROM Manager and used it to flash recovery, but this time I've installed CWM first, so would it be safe to install ROM Manager now, will it want to flash a recovery over the one I have already.
Or is it not advisable to use ROM Manager, as I have previously heard of a few problems it may cause.
Thanks ...John...
Rom manager shouldn't give any problems, but for custom roms it's best to take a look at the development forum. If you don't like that you can still use the list in rommanager, it might be just me who prefers downloading roms to my pc first.
But before you install any of them I recommend you make a nandroid backup from recovery just to be safe.
I think the issues were that some people, not all, found problems flashing some of the gingerbread roms via Rom manager. Better to save the Rom to SD and then flash it via CWM.
Right I've done a nandroid backup, and I've saved one to another mSD card which I can keep somewhere just in case (probably a bit over cautious, but...).
I thought that by saving apps to an sd card, they would run from the sd when I restarted my phone, even the ones that I had moved previously with the application manager in settings are not seen.
Still reinstalling the ones I want isn't really that bad.
Seriously, somebody needs to sort out the Markets app backups feature, when I was setting up the phone at first, I specifically chose to not automatically sync with Google and that I would do it manually when needed. Then I went in to the market to get a file manager and the download failed, it was only when I looked at what was going on I realised it was already downloading and reinstalling 96 apps. I looked around for a 'cancel all' option and there isn't any, so I had to cancel them all one by one and then uninstall the ones that had managed to install.
A simple checklist to select the apps you want would be great, oh, and a cancel all button would be a bonus.
Anyway, things are not as much fun when they're too easy.
Thanks ...John...

once u are done with rooting through this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22925489#post22925489
Simply install titanium back up( root)
open it
go to back up restore
Back up those useless apps no more in ur work( like AT&T maps) Roads Etc Accounts bla bla
then uninstall( for safer side u can have the back up just in case required to restore)
thats it, u can now have memory upto 79 MB
more over if you can remove the Adob Flash player from main memory( consuming 10 mb memory) wont affect your phone performance at all
but depends upon your usage
this will surely improve your battery life and phone memory
thanks very much

Don't ever uninstall system apps tho (like blur)! Tibu doesn't restore them and it will render your phone useless.
I have uninstalled many apps from system...
TiBu restores system apps to system no problem as well...
Found this out as I broke text messaging (who though the email engine apk helped SMS?)
I made enough room to push all the system updates to the rom... and install a bunch of stuff to system using TiBu's 'integrate into rom'

You were lucky then. Lol I did the same with my yahoo authenticator (although, it was my atrix) and my contacts forced closed everytime I tried to make calls. Tibu wouldn't restore it.
I helped. Friend root and de-bloat his ATRIX... though... we left the authenticators just because...
Do you have the free or pro version of tibu?

Got the pro key. When I had that problem, I emailed them and they said they don't recommend ununstalling any system apps (duh as does everyone) and can't help me to get it fixed. I ended up reflashing my stock rom.
well its about creating back up
if you have recovery
back up
and u knew what to do then its not an issue
if u are not aware of what exactly you are going to do, then ready for any thing unexpected
