How do i get rid of some of the preinstalled apps like the rogers home, ringtones, blah blah apps which are just browser shortcuts
and i accidentally installed HTC Sync on my thing and i found out that it installed a few packages on my phone, could i somehow remove those ?
PS: has anyone rooted the rogers magic yet?
thanks.
bump: anyone?
I'd also like to know the answer to this one. Anyone out there with any suggestions on how to remove these useless apps?
I think the only way would be to root the whole rom and flash one of the custom ones here on xda.
not sure which one would be the best to do this and I would like to know also..
maybe you can factory reset the phone? because that's what I did to my Smartone HK Magic and it just uninstall all the pre-installed apps from Smartone HK. and it also let me start using my own widgets I wasn't able to do it with the pre-installed apps

FlashPlayer is Hero only, so unless you're installing that, good luck.

AND, you posted in the wrong section BTW...this is the developer forum.....

You can download flash there. But if you want it for your phone is a different story.

I don't really get why everyone loves the Hero browser anyway, I pushed the google one back..
Has anyone else found the messaging app to be extremly buggy? I have the stock ATT rom and haven't made any major mods to it. It's constantly freezing, the text input field is always hidden, etc. Is there a fix somewhere? At this point I'm even willing to pay for an app, but I can't find any. SMS chat doesnt work with 6.5.
Please and thanks for any help!

Thanks! If that works, you will be me hero!
will this work for TMO custom ROM?
thanks in advance

I'm inexperienced with custom ROMs, but I think its a 50/50 chance. Give it a shot and if it doesn't work you can simply unistall it. Everything will be like before. That's the beauty of CABs.
no luck
not compatible with system.

did you get the error before installation? if so, my guess is htc put in a check to see what rom ur running so the fix cant install on another device. maybe a good dev here can decompile the cab and remove the check/block.
cannot d/l from htc site....
Just got around to installing this. My messaging app wasn't giving me much trouble prior to now, so i just installed it. It froze right when I opened the first message and backed out. Just tried again and it froze again. Way to go HTC.

Hello kazshizka, It seems that you got the P.R.China retail edition, this model of this device should be ME722 instead of Milestone 2.
I strongly recommend that re-flash the UK retail ROM with RSD Lite, just check the ROM file here: http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
Then, search RSD Lite and the HOWTOs in this forum.
After you reflash your device, don't forget switch the Baseband to China version to ensure the signal strength of your phone.
If you have to send SMS in Chinese, you need more cracks with your UK rom. Feel free to contact me if necessary.
Alternatively, If you prefer the original ROM ( It quite contains lots of rubbish ), or, you really need the MOTO Chinese input method or something. Try follow steps:
Download the GMS ( Google Mobile Service ) package for ME722 here:
http://u.115.com/file/f4b76fefad
Rename the zip file to update.zip, then copy it into root folder under your microSD card,
Hold X button and boot the device, when there are a reboot with "!" appeared, press @ button.
Choose apply update.zip to install GMS package.
Enjoy it!
Best regards.
Thanks a lot!! It does contain a lot of rubbish. Can't I just root the phone to remove the rubbish? I'm using it in a different country so I don't mind the UK version but the Chinese input is needed.

UK ROM just cannot send Chinese Contents SMS without some cracks, but it can really works perfect with other Chinese input method like Google pinyin, Touchpal pinyin, and so on.
Switching a China version baseband is necessary even you using it in a different country. Because UK rom's baseband do not fit M722's hardware.
Check root tools here:

U can't update directly if u are from China because currently China still not in the Market List that fully distributing all applications (Google "Android Market - Supported locations for distributing applications").
Solution: Go to Market & try to search "MarketEnabler" and u will know the trick.
U will be surprised by then.
Sorry, there is one more condition: Ur phone need to be Rooted!!

MarketEnabler is very cool but I think you just can't image what happened in P.R.China's ROM,
Because a dozen of google's services was TOTAL OR PARTLY BLOCKED in mainland of China, include Youtube, Gmail ,Search ,Translate,.... And, we can't reach facebook, twitter, linkedin,....
So, there was even no market in China's ROM, the SNS link in moto blur are some localize servers instead of twitter and facebook.
We can fake mobile provider via MarketEnabler in Market, but no Market here.

oh there's not even a market application? whoa ok. im afraid im sort of out of any helpful ideas; sorry
is there no way to get a set from hong kong which already has market pre-installed in it? or to flash a new ROM so you can have the market software available in the new ROM?
EDIT: I LOOKED THROUGH SOME POSTS ON OTHER DEVICE THREADS AND FOUND THIS. I DO HOPE THIS CAN HELP YOUR GOOD SELF, AND THE OTHER USERS FROM CHINA

Really thanks for all your great efforts on this. My device is UK retail version, and I'm using the UK firmware now。
Hope the Market installer + MarkerEnabler will be a nice breakthrough for China frimware to get google services, but I don't know whether these could sync google account data ( like contacts ).
Maybe this is the best and easy solution of this thread.

waigx,
Thanks for the useful info, but have you actually tried what you are describing in your first post on a Chinese MS2?
I'm in the same condition as the OP, got a MS2 from China Mobile, it is already rooted (1-click method did it for me) but I hesitate about flashing it as I don't have any way of going back to the current state if it fails.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

i do believe thats the reason why there is a guide to back up your current ROM. this is as simple as i can put it to you:
1 - Root phone
2 - Install Droid 2 Bootstrap
3 - Boot into recovery from Bootstrap
4 - Select backup on recovery ( use volume keys for up, down, camera for ok and power for back)

I got the same model ME722 from China, I have the same problem. No Market! Google does not recognize my phone and does not let me install from Market. How do I get Google to recognize my phone?
I rooted my phone and installed Market Enabler, however, I am still not able to install from Market?? I faked using Rogers then went to Market and tried to download an app, but Market still comes back with no Android phone..... Is there something that I missed?

Hi or.green,
I really understand your concerns, please don't worry about it. Your can flash it again if it fails, because the device load Bootloader first, which you cannot modify with flashing phones.
I wrote down my experience of using MS2 for share, and I attached it in the attachments. Including how to flash the phone and F.A.Q.s of MS2. But the contents are Chinese, hope it helpful for you.
Feel free to contact me if necessary.
Just go ahead.
Best wishes.
Edited: This article is for UK retail version, If you have a ME722, don't forget modify the Baseband after you flashed a UK rom
Hello waigx,
Thanks for the information, I'm downloading the file and will check if it makes any sense to me after google translate (I barely started learning spoken chinese, it'll be a while before I can read it... )
As to you comment about the baseband, I'm guessing instructions on how to do that are readily availavle online, right?
Thanks,
Or.
