I have searched and found out how, but adb just won't work for me, period, so I am stuck. Can anyone deodex DJ05?
It's already been deodexed.
For a long time.

As close to stock as possible? All I have found were other roms that had stuff removed that I actually use, and by just replacing the apks, they no longer work. if you could maybe post a link instead of just say its been done and for a long time it might actually help. Otherwise, you just come off a rude and unhelpful, whether that's your intention or not. Thanks
Why don't you download a deodexed one then replace the apks yourself through rom manager? You can't expect devs to tailor a deodexed package just for you though. Just saying

Tried that and had said that some of the things didn't work properly...like vcast music would not full ,download songs, license aquisition would fail everytime. I never realized that so many people would flame me for requesting this. Someone was nice enough to post a deodexed DI01, thought maybe it could happen with DJ05. Sorry I asked now
Not flaming just bring realistic. I don't know of any roms that keep vcast music though since almost no one uses it. good luck getting it to work though
Sent from my sch-i500 using dj05 w/ stupidfast kernel
What led me to the flaming was your good luck comment, I'm sorry if I misinterpreted. I like vcast because it bills to my account and I don't have to use my card every time plus less things have my card info. Had my identity stolen once, I'm a little over cautious
Why don't you just use music junk for music? Or does vcast have features other than downloading music?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
if you search google for 'dj05 deodexed', the first result is a post on another forum that has a link to the rom you want. i'm not sure if i'm allowed to link to files from other forums, but you can easily search google and get it.
EDIT: here, i'll make it even easier for you: http://www.google.com/search?btnG=1&pws=0&q=dj05+deodexed
www.androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3/roms/StockDeodexedDJ05.zip
the reason that vcast music doesn't work on Blackhole is that the DRM files have been removed. Dont know if you tried Blackhole or not, but other roms may have it removed as well. haven't had a request to get vcast music working yet so i haven't messed with it. enjoy the stock deodexed dj05, and don't worry about people giving you a hard time. you know what you want, why you want it, and don't have to explain yourself to anyone.
Btw, if the deodex failed on something to do with LBS, it's not necessary, just delete the apk and odex file altogether. just a piece of advice in case you want to try again.
Edit: retracted (way too harsh)
Do you have an account with amazon? If you do, they have an mp3 downloader app. Generally very good bitrates and you don't have to reenter information every time. Good luck again and sorry if I came off as snarky

Thanks, I first used blackhole, but ran into the whole some things were gone our when I re-added the apk the apps would be there but wouldn't work right. I really appreciate your positivity. I came from the world of RIM, where I could do anything I wanted to my bb, but haven't reached that level yet with my fascinate. (i mean I could actually tweak the os with leaked versions etc) if I could get my computer to let adb work I would be in a whole new boat, but sadly I think I will have to use the work of geniuses like yourself.

I do have an amazon acct, but never used their mp3 service. The extra .70 doesn't kill me for the occassional song I don't download from itunes or just buy the album in BestBuy. It's just nice to have the ability to get one song directly on my phone and still be able to download for my computer too. A lot of people don't realize that while you pay 1.99, you get the instant download on the phone, another when you log in to rhapsody, and have the ability to bill to carrier. Its a convenience thing for me. It's ok that you came off snarky, I realized you weren't being a total @ss, and thanked your post. I understand some parolee get frustrated when noobs like me ask for this stuff, but then again, the title said what I needed and the others opened it and commented just to be rude. (you aren't included there)
I appreciate the help I have been given and hopefully with a little bit more time, I will be able to help others. That's seriously the point to these forums right? To help each other out?
cough, cough.
good day.
There's an app called mp3 music download. I use it all the time. Its free. The musics free. Even stores the song on your sd.

So I just got my Fascinate last week. I'm new to Android and I'm trying to get a grasp on what the popular/necessary apps, widgets, roots, launchers, etc. are...... So here is the question- What did you do straight away when you got your phone? And what do you wish you had done straight away?
Root, install de bloated rom of choice, install voodoo, profit

First, before you do ANYTHING, read about what you're doing, what the repercussions are, and DON'T do anything to the OS of your phone if you don't know what you're doing. That being said, there's more than enough people around here willing to help if you ask educated questions, and use the search function, as a lot of questions have already been answered. The above thread is excellent reading as to how to get started.
IMHO, Root, install a clean (de-bloated) ROM of your choice (many of which can be found in the Fascinate-->android development sub forum), and then if you want install a custom kernel, voodoo enabled or not, overclocked or not. Just read a bit, it'll all become clear very soon...
Welcome to a Fascinating world.....ugh that was a terrible pun.

I came from an Omnia too. Reading these threads makes me wonder how many of the guys complaining about the bloat/lag had ever seen any WinMo phones...
In terms of removing bloat, a really easy way to hide it is simply use LauncherPro from the market. Aside from being crazy customizable, you can hide apps you don't want to see from showing up in your app drawer. Not exactly removing, but as mentioned baby steps can save you from that sinking feeling most of us have had...
Either way this phone kills the Omnia dead!

I still pine for ListPro and Pocket Informant, tho.
lots of good information here. The only thing I would add is that you should probably steer clear of Voodoo for the time being. Yes, it does really speed things up however do to the fact that it changes the filesystem type of your /data partition it no longer allows you to perform full backups (Nandroid) of your phone unless you disable the Voodoo lag fix which has rendered several phones (including mine) unable to fully boot without restoring to stock.
Voodoo will NOT brick your phone but anyone considering using Voodoo should be prepared to lose all their data and know how to flash back to stock. If you are not willing / able to accept that risk I highly recommend avoiding Voodoo - at least for now.

I've been up late tonight, and just so happened to stumble across this article over at AndroidPolice. Figured it might interest some people here since it includes our phone.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...e-numbers-gps-sms-emails-addresses-much-more/
Here's the thing, though. They recommend uninstalling the offending apk immediately, which I tried.....Unfortunately that gives me repeated force closes over and over and over while the system tries to run it, to the point where I had to restore to a backup. So what do we do about this?
UPDATE: You can remove HTCloggers.apk...all you have to do is restart afterwards.

Yes and no.
Yes because so many users run Sense.
No because I run AOSP.
Frankly, I wonder how many other serious flaws there are.
I can name several apps that want their hands on permissions they have no business in [Facebook for one]
Its like 1984 for sure. There's an article in the new section here at xda that talks about some of the other vulnerabilities as well.

Many devs remove these programs and such to remove ciq. I can't find the thread right now, but it reads just about everything. It's so deeply imbedded into the framework.
It reads every button you press on your keyboard.
Every text you send and receive.
Every app you use and download.
The pages you browse on using the internet browser.
It even goes as far to read any spot on your screen that you touch.
This is spyware to the extreme. Sprint and HTC will say its not "spyware" and say its used only for marketing to determine how phones are being used to further develop for the current trends in smartphones. It's very possible they could steal personal info with this. Is it currently happening? Uhh...probably not, but there will still be a lot of paranoia about it.

Some of us haven't forgotten the XCP rootkit that was on some Sony BMG titles in 2005... hope HTC doesnt suffer a similar demise like Sony eventually has of late.
This has been removed from MikG.
This is exactly why I'm AOSP. (that and sub-100MB ROM files)
I read the article too- (I have an Androidpolice/Android Central) feed in my Pulse reader....
I already knew CIQ and such were slimy embedded spyware...but the Treve app- spotted stuff I hadnt deleted already... Sprint sent me a "letter" about bandwidth usage and We-KNOW-what-Your-Doing" ----
I'm not amused by HTC/Sprint's collusion... leaving our bottoms out there in the cold for anyone to do whatever with.....
I bet even money my phones been cloned... sometimes I can't use it for calls .. recently -and I'd not had a single missed call or problem in a year.
I'm not a happy camper.. worried about my credit card #'s and really really am annoyed by HTC sliming us this way...
to the tune- that it'll be an icey cold day in hell before I'd consider buying another HTC phone for anyone in my family- (my family has 3 Evo 4g)...

it appears to me that this file has already been removed from MikFroyo. At least, I can't find it...
BTW, you can just remove it using TIbackup, but you'll have to restart to get rid of the repeated force closes. Simple fix, and I've done the same for CarrierIQ as well.
It was removed from sprint lovers rom as well... I couldnt find it at least
I removed HtcLoggers.apk from mine and after rebooting (force close loop) it seems to be working fine. However, is there an old log file still on the phone that can be read by some Spyware app that needs to be removed or does all this data need to come from the logger app itself? If there still is a log, I'm sure it has enough info to still steal my ESN and other stuff.
Wow! Glad I run custom ROMS
In this evo thread someone also noticed that turning sound off on nav fixes the fc's (also mentioned in an epic thread).

Ok, but since all of my ROMs, and anderson's Simply AOSP v4 exclude tts and some language files, I'm wondering if its the problem. I don't even think NAV uses the missing files, but maybe they need to be in place.
It uses the stock tts so you may need to copy that back in. Push to system/app. Pull it out of the deodexed stock rom.

Technically, yes since it is missing the necessary support file for the voice. I am surprised that it doesn't have an error message about "tts not installed" or something though. And is it wide spread? This is the first I am hearing about it..unlike the 6 threads on su binaries. I am guessing you are correct and it is ROM specific. Flash the full stock rom deodex and see if that fixes it for you.

Just making sure I understand what fc you're referring to specifically; are you talking about the 'invisible' fc that happens associated with gps where it basically stops working in Google Nav? Or is this a different one? The reason I ask is, if its the one I'm thinking of, it happens in every pre-official stock Gingerbread ROM release I've tried, but doesn't on EC05, and if this is the same thing you're referencing, I'd be pretty confident in saying that a *lack* of TTS doesn't cause it anyway. If its something different you're referencing then...my bad
Well that's what I'm sorta trying to narrow down, I always used TeleNAV on GB. But in Simply AOSP v4 I do see an FC about 1min into NAV, but once muted it dosnt happen. I wonder if someone has/could try the mute trick on GB to see if that fixes "the hidden FC".
I am on Hurricane and use SVOX British Lady and don't get any FC or vibration, EH17 ROM and modem.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Interesting....I wasn't even aware of SVOX until this thread. I don't know when I'll have cause to go somewhere long enough to try it (I live about 3 miles from where I work), but I downloaded SVOX plus the 'Victoria' UK voice you mentioned and will try it (on EG22 here) next time I'm going anywhere of more significant length. If switching off of Pico fixes this issue I'll be thrilled, I haven't been able to consistently rely on Google Nav through Maps since EC05.
Yeah, I never used Google Nav because I hated Mrs. Roboto but with the British chick it is more tolerable.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
hmm
i used to turn off the volume and the ff would go away in the past i thought everyone would do that. but the g maps is buggy on the epic. sometimes the volume would cut out on its own and freeze. or freeze for some other reasons. sorry i have used so many different roms and i used to use the gps daily when i rode the bike alot. but i havent used it in awhile for the epic. i moved to the nexus
Edit::: Thanks Kenny, it looks like it was tts.

Sounds good. BTW, I called Sprint just to double check to see if they show any calls placed through my phone number or anything. The lady on the phone said it's possible but if someone did it wont post to my account for a few days, especially if they made any international calls.
I didn't figure there was anything scripted into the rom itself to do this, it's possible that it could be something rogue. It's also possible that someone with the skillz was just driving by and grabed my info from a wifi signal and texted me just to F with me.

Wow that is odd as hell. I've been running and testing uke since before it was released and I've never had that pop up on me. Its def not something in the rom and I hope you guys find the app doing it. Good luck.

I think this is what's making me think it's just a fluke or a troll... I've been running these apps for a while now and haven't ever had a problem with them. I didn't even expect a comment from One_Love_420 either. VICODAN is the one that recommended the ROM to me so I wasn't going to just point the finger to the ROM anyways. I did have my Wifi running all night long (had the advanced setting setup to not put my wifi to sleep when my phone goes off). The only thing I haven't done yet is check to see what my logs say on my Linksys router (maybe he tapped my phone for internet).
I think it's just a fluke (or at least I hope... this could be an exspensive bill if this person was able to make calls from my phone or anything like that).

yeah its def an oddity. have you ran miui on it anytime recently and maybe there was residual mess from it and someone was still able to mess with you? or hell, coulda been someone texting the wrong person, i would think its just a fluke if youve been using the same apps for x amount of time and havent had this happen before.
One thing does come to mind when looking at your app list. Go sms pro is a china developed app and has a ton of permissions that i would never approve of, one being the ability to make calls. Check its permissons list on the market. A little much for an app imho.

yeah its def an oddity. have you ran miui on it anytime recently and maybe there was residual mess from it and someone was still able to mess with you? or hell, coulda been someone texting the wrong person, i would think its just a fluke if youve been using the same apps for x amount of time and havent had this happen before.

I haven't tried Miui yet. I started with CM7 and wanted to get into somthing light (meaning less sprint stuff and being able to uninstall maps and stuff since I only use them once in a great while). I know I got a lot of GO stuff on it but I've just been tinkering with it since the kernal is running a bit more then just the 800 mhz on the cpu. Wanted to "test" out what this thing is capable of.
The bling is nice, the personalization of colors and stuff is cool and all... But I use this for business a lot and kinda like a rock solid machine that's as efficient as possible. I'm looking into other options of roms that are just plane Jane Android next. U.K.E. has been running nicely even with all the bling (minus go sms now I guess). Depending on how put off I am about no bling I might just go back to using U.K.E.

U.K.E. is pretty rock solid for an aosp ROM, I try all of the ROMS on XDA for the shift as theyre released and even though that means im trying alot of diff ROMS i generally restore my UKE backups for my daily driver

Didn't think about that... Figured the GO stuff was lagit since it's all from the same group.

You should always check permissions of apps even from the market..Google doesn't keep track of apps published on the market and if they are malicious or not. It's up to users to report if something funky is happening. That's why I un-installed GoSms a long time ago when they first added all of those strange permissions to the updated versions. It was even causing people to have issues with phone calls. Read through market comments and check permissions Always with any app even if it's just a update to a new version. The devs of GoSms are very un-responsive also when people ask them about the permissions and report issues. If you really want to get down to the bottom of something also run a logcat and see what the app is doing.

Wow very random if i must say. I have yet seen or heard of this. Im wondering if you have a rogue app messing with you two. Lets see if we can figure this out, what apps do the both of you have the same of? Ive yet to see this message to me or hear of it from others. And i can tell you that there is nothing written into this rom to send you that message. This is why im thinking its a rogue app. If we could get a list of the apps you both have that received this random message.

I can attest that UKE is a SOLID rom and is very secure.

Because it's based on cm7?
Solid indeed. Outside of that odd text I haven't had any other issues. I haven't tried to track down who's phone number that is Incas it's a friend just messing with me and I haven't had any charges posted to my account so... Might have just been someone messing with me.

It's definately not a rom related issue. Download Addons Detector from the market. This will help you to track down suspicious apps intalled on your device.
So I got rid of all of the GO products and I'm just running the AWD stuff that came with the rom. Only thing I realy miss is the SMS stuff. I looked at handsent and their permissions are the same (for the most part) as go sms.
Any thoughts on an sms program? I'm looking for character count and more info like sent date/time displayed without going into message details.

I have the pre-rooted stock EL30 ROM from this forum. It's nice enough but the version of Superuser in it isn't the latest and now Google has released a new update to Market, calling it Play Store, plus Google Books has been updated.
For de-bloating, dump Football, Nascar, TeleNav, Amazon MP3, DLNA, SprintTV, Sprint Zone, MediaHub, the Asphalt 5 and Free HD Game stubs and the tutorials.
ThinkFree Office could stay.
Thanks for doing the hard work so we who aren't Android uber-geeks don't have to!
It's not the responsibility of the devs to update apps for you.

Exactly this. Just update your stuff from the "Play store" and use Root Explorer or SDX App removal tool to delete the apps you don't want. Devs are not in the habit of making custom ROMs for one person. They won't come and make your bed either.
Where did I ask just for me and only me? Everyone using rooted stock EL30 would appreciate it.
Having the updates integrated creates a cleaner install.
Here's the same answer only not as rude:
Everyone has a different idea of what "bloat" is. for instance, you think thinkfree and books should stay. Lots of people think that is bloat. Since you are already rooted its real easy and quick to remove what you don't want. As far as the updates, they hit way to often to keep them current. Just let the phone update itself.

Keyword here is STOCK. That ROM is for people who want the ability to choose which STOCK apps they wish to keep. If you want all of the apps listed in your first post removed, choose any other custom ROM. They will most likely have those removed.

You are asking for a burger with no pickles and extra mayo. True some may want exactly what you are asking for, others may want Nascar still in there just as an example. These are very easy things for you to do yourself. Sleeper has a lite version EL30 ROM already out. CleanGB has most bloat removed. These already exist. All you have to do is update an app or two yourself and delete anything you feel is extra. Last I checked the EL30 users here are very happy with these ROMs. Try one. If you need help making it perfect for you, download it and ask for what to do and we will help you. You can open the zip, pull files out of the system\app directory before flashing and it will be your personal version.
But kenny, we all have real lives and the devs just sit around all day waiting for us to make insane requests to give them something to do.

Thanks to those who had constructive comments to make.
I'd keep the NASCAR app if it was actually worth the bother. Much of the time it doesn't work and it's always a lap or two behind.
