I installed the market version of OCLF (one click lag fix)... And I noticed a huge change in quality of phone conversations.. so I unrooted an undid the lag fix and undid the ext2 files or something silmilar that its called... Did all of that with that OCLF app.. Then I went to privacy settings in the phone and did factory data reset.... Now I noticed my phone buggs out like 3 or 4 times a day saying "sim card removed...reboot phone" due to this I'm missing a lot of calls...
I'm a newb... So is it possible that OCLF app messed up my phone by moving system folders around from interior storage to sd then back to internal when I was uninstalling everything?
Also I noticed I still have the update.zip on my phone's memory, is the stock phone suppose to have that update.zip file or I can safely remove it?
Any way to fix this sim card problem that I started to receive out of no where?
Thank You in advance for any tips or advice

I would follow these instructions.
DID YOU F'UP AND NEED TO GET BACK TO STOCK?
Well, thanks to XDA User justanothercrowd we have a Nandroid Backup to get you back to how the Vibrant shipped (and rooted of course). Hopefully you don't need it, but thank him after reading his post just in case you do!
You should also check this thread by almyz125!
It is in the Tips and Tricks part of this forum

Hello everyone. I have a stock 2.1 Legend and I am wondering if I have to back up anything before the OTA to 2.2. Will I lose any contacts or other data stored in the phone's internal memory? If so, is there some windows program I can run that will help me out? I have backed up the SD card. Thanks to anyone who can help.
Prior to the OTA update your phone will backup everything important such as contacts, apps, messages and so on.
Actually you won't be losing anything. It will just look like an OS upgrade, even the apps will remain untouched. Of course few of those non froyo supporting apps might stop working properly (if you have any).
But its always a good idea to take a backup.
To backup contacts go to People-> Menu-> Import/Export-> Export to SD Card-> Select the account you want to backup.
to backup sms and call logs there are apps available in market, just search for them. i like the simple backup apps by Ritesh Sahu for sms, apn & call logs
Awesome, thanks for the help!

A bit off topic bit still a bit relevant:
I plan on hard resetting my phone in the near future, if I download Froyo, will the reset erase it?
Since I bought my Legend in August from Bell, I've never gotten a single OTA update at all.
Thanks.

No you won't lose group if you do a hard reset after fupdating, once you've done the update you're updated for good.
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

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?

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.
Moved to general.
My mytouch 4g is rooted and running Hyperion Yoshi. I don't really like the layout of it so I'm going to try and flash CyanogenMod. When doing a full wipe before flashing a new rom, I thought it wiped everything on the sd card too except back up files such as Voodoo rootkeeper and the backup made in CMW. Unfortunately, it does not remove all the app folders, files you downloaded, etc. It basically only removes the system files...So my question is how do I remove the nonessential items or rather what back up files do I need to keep and just format my sd card so everything is clean?

Download a file manager (file manager, es file explorer)from the playstore and delete whatever you don't want.

I want to delete EVERYTHING except for the backups, but I don't know what the backs up are and I'm scared to delete stuff because it might make things on the phone nonfunctional or accidentally delete a backup.
Backups would be in clockworkmod recovery if your talking about nandroid(backup of your system)

What you need is Titanium Backup, it can backup apps and system apps. Also you could use usb storage and make a backup of your sd card on your pc in case you delete something you needed.

Thanks. I just checked out the sticky on here for the new root method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387577
Will that keep all my data?
Also I'm on AT&Ts latest MF3 build. If that makes a difference. Sorry this is the first time I have every tried rooting a phone.
Dude.. if you already find the correct thread. Why don't you ask there. I guess it will not wipe your data. At least on mine it didn't but I my contacts are stored on my gmail account. So my best advice is ask on the thread..

This doesn't format your ROM it uses your sdcard to install root So you will have to wipe your sdcard. So any pictures or other items on it you will loose when you format it.

And why are you rooting?
Can I Root without "Wipe," to recover accidentally deleted photos?
I'm on NC1.
I need to "Root" without wiping the Internal Memory.
I was using Internal Memory for photos and in a state of stupor (I assume), deleted a folder I thought I moved to my PC.
So the files are now deleted. I want to use one of the many recovery tools but thus far, all that I can find require "Root" access.
BTW: As an aside, does anyone else experience issues with copying too/from Internal Memory to a PC and the files seemingly go, or at least them are visible in Explorer, but then after disconnecting the phone, when you look for them, they are not there?
