as far as getting rid of t-mobile stuff, you can remove any of it you dont like using ADB or a file browser with root access (I use root explorer but its a paid app)
all the system apps are located under system/app
you can just delete what you dont like
or you can flash a new rom, most have alot of it removed already.
(exept for the stock roms and the leaked stock roms of course.)
I've just tried to unistall the applications through system/app but still I can see them in my appplication list, there are a lot of applications in my mobile that I've never used or even dont know how it works!!
can you explain that to me more,
Thanx

**You must be rooted for most of these methods to work** (I'm not sure about ADB, I've never tryed it unrooted)
These are apps that you cant delete using normal methods or the file manager that comes with the vibrant.
you'll need either ADB (Android Debug Bridge) or a file manager with root access.
ADB is definitly the more technical of the two options, but its also free.
the other option is much easier, you might try Android Mate, I've never used it but it is free on the market.
I personaly use root explorer but its not free.
You will have to be rooted for this method to work.
just open the file manager and browse to the system/app folder and delete what you need to. (in root explorer make sure you have enables read/write access on the top right corner)
the last option is also a bit technical but not too bad.
download a terminal emulator from the market.
open terminal emulator
type:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -r /system/app/[appname].apk
you must know the apk name for that method.
and remove both the .apk file and the .odex file (if there is one)
(Or find someone that does know it)
heres a list of some that can be removed without breaking anything written by s15274n (you can view his guide here:
AccountAndSync.apk/odex -> The app in the drawer, not the settings.
AddToHome.apk/odex
AudioPostcard.apk/odex
Avatar.apk/odex -> The app that launches Avatar in the video player.
BuddiesNow.apk/odex
Dlna.apk/odex [Allshare]

Swype-Tips.apk/odex
Telenav.apk/odex
thinkdroid.apk/odex [ThinkFree Office]
vvm-signed.apk/odex -> T-Mobile Visual Voicemail [can be re-downloaded from the market. for some reason that version is the preferred one.]

I noticed in the title that you would like Froyo?
if so you could just flash a froyo rom and they usualy have most of the t-mobile stuff removed already.
you might try this one AXURA
thats developed by an active member of xda which is nice.
Or this one: Macnut R13
that one is built from i9000 source.
theres a few others as well you can find them in the vibrant android development section
as I stated before read this (written by s15274n )
if your not rooted yet and need help getting there, its a great guide that has pretty much anything you could want to know getting started with this phone.
Thanx!
Thank you very much for the help, you gave me good options to think about..
I have a good question: Is there a way that I can use instead of installing a ROM, to "format" my mobile and install a total new version of Android, maybe something like the new Nexus S Gingerbread and benefit from the Google pure experience instead of waiting for Samsung to develop the Froyo for my mobile?
Again, Thanx a million!
Saif,
Hi people, i hope you understand what I'm trying to say here
If you ever tried MIUI i think you were amazed by the File Manager pre-installed on it. I simply love it and I think MIUI is very nice ROM but it has a few bugs and it's missing some things that AOSP ROMs (like GingerVillain that I'm currently using) have...
But other AOSP ROMs don't have such excellent File Manager that MIUI has.
I'd like to see MIUI FM installed on my Desire (running GingerVillain ATM) but I don't know how to install it...
I tried extracting FileManager.apk from XJs MIUI and installing it, but it doesn't install.
Then I copied FileManager.apk inside GingerVillain installation .zip and flashing it. FileManager is installed, but i get FCs when I try to run it...
So, can someone 'port' MIUIs FileManager to other AOSP ROMs?
Or at least explain why not...
Anyone? Anything?

Try using root explorer to place it in system/app.
Thank me if i helped!
It works with MIUI framework only. If you need a good file manager, Ghost Commander is awesome.

there is always Root Explorer
any updates on this one?
the advantage of MIUI file explorer is transferring files via wifi. And I need this.
I use Samba file share for WiFi file management. 'bout the same just that it's not as fancy. Works great though.
I've Looked at many options and posts about this and so far as i understand it's not possible unless you are running on MIUI already due to missing Lib that you can't get due to MIUI being closed source.
But there is good news i found an app called star high speed file explorer that is basicly a clone of the miui without the FTP option

ES explorer has rot? this option is experimental, but works fine for me.
If you like MIUI, why switch to another ROM?

I like ES File Explorer. I love it. The only problem is that it LAGS LIKE HELL when scrolling, at least on Sense ROMs (EVO 3D here).

Thank you for research . I was looking for a file explorer like Miui. This one is great !
I've moved from MIUI and miss the file manager.
In the reviews someone states this app sends text messages to international countries? The permissions for the app look dodgy too:
This application has access to the following:
Services that cost you money:
send SMS messages
Your messages:
read SMS or MMS
Network communication:
full Internet access
Your personal information:
read sensitive log data
Phone calls:
read phone state and identity
Storage:
modify/delete USB storage contents modify/delete SD card contents
System tools:
change network connectivity,
retrieve running applications,
mount and unmount filesystems,
make application always run,
prevent device from sleeping
Hide
Network communication:
view network state,
view Wi-Fi state
System tools:
kill background processes,
kill background processes,
force stop other applications,
automatically start at boot,
set wallpaper
Default:
delete applications
Any opinions?

I'm also looking for some mods as I have just recently rooted my atrix as well.
So far I have done the Telstra mod --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049434&highlight=Telstra
although I found the thread a little overwhelming. I found a youtube video that walked me through it and now my download speed is 5280kbps and upload speed is 1210kbps!
An app that requires root that I downloaded today is pretty cool as well, its called Wireless Tether for Root in Market. Its free and it turns your phone into a wifi hotspot at the touch of a buton. Works great.
Well since you already took the plunge and rooted your phone, the very first thing I would suggest is to install CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019143
It's not really that hard to install, and once you do install it, you can then create a back up of your entire phone (much more than Titanium backup). It's kind of like a creating a windows system image. That way if you mess anything up in the future, you can always restore to your backup that you made. Plus most mods, roms and themes are now using CWM for installation. Just follow the directions, ask if you get stuck, and read the thread, and you should be ok.
After that I would also suggest that you download Root explorer and SQLite Editor from the market; they come in handy.
If you get these apps, you can manually do the following (I always manually do my mods for the most part):
How about free mobile hotspot?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980636

Ok, you can download root explorer and SQLite Editor in the market, you just have to be rooted to use them.
Here are my instructions for enabling flash w/ Dolphin HD Browser. As stated above, you need to go to the dolphin browser setting and set user agent to desktop mode and set enable plugins (under advanced) to always.

Didn't work
Didn't work for me. Hulu gives me a message that Hulu requires at least flash version 10.0.32... Was fun playing though. First time I've used root explorer. I'm impressed.

You need to install Adobe Flash from the market first... probably was uninstalled during gingerbreak or flashing sbf.
1) Uninstall adobe flash
2) reboot for good measure
3) install a fresh adobe flash from the market
4) Follow the instructions in the post, replacing the correct flash file and making sure the stock one was either overwritten or deleted.
5) reboot for good measure

I'm really really excited...! This is my dream tablet, I've been waiting for this for over a month. And now its finally mine! But there is a problem, since I've no WiFi network in my house(for now), how can I install applications. I know the android applications are .apk format, but I don't know from where to download them. I got the file manager HD .apk file but I don't know how to install it. Please help!
Youll have to root your tablet then you can install apks locally. Alternatively you can try easy installer. You will need a internet connection as its required by the Market to install apps.

I don't think you have to root to install apps locally... as long as you have the unknown sources option checked, you can install apps from wherever you want. If you have a desktop with internet that you can get to, you can download the apk's from various torrent sites, and I think there is a web version of the android market? I'm sure there are other places as well, just search on Google. anywhooo, then just transfer the file over to your A500 via the USB cable or flash drive, and open the file through the app manager option that pops up when you tap on it, then click install.
I have had no problem download APKs onto my desktop computer and then putting them on a Micro SD card to use on the A500 without having to root anything.
u can use Docs to go to navigate to .apk on your tablet and launch instal from there. Thats my way)

Congrats on getting your Inconia!
For apps like the filemanager you could just download them from the Android marketplace, then they would install themselves. Otherwise, place them on your sd card if you're downloading to your PC first. Apps will also install if they are in your download folder on the tablet (say for example, if you download from the dev's website or email them to yourself as an attachment).
One thing you might have to do first is check the setting that allows you to install "unsigned" third-party app. I believe it's: Setting->Applications->Unknown Sources.
From what I understand, there's not much concern of installing something harmful anymore (for which this setting was designed to protect against), but I could be wrong. Just be careful who you are getting the app from if it's not from the market, a dev's site or a reputable person here at the forum.
That's my $.02 Have fun!
Just get a home network!
Enjoy your Iconia....I love mine!
Congratulations
- No need to root for installing apk, just check the checkbox (the Iconia will told you what you have to do anyway)
- Get a wifi quick
Need Moboplayer and A good office editor
Hi, I still need few days to set up my WiFi network at home, in the mean time, can any one share any direct download link to .apk files like moboplayer and a good office editor?
Any apps out there that keep a database of your installed apps and allows you to auto-reinstall if you say flashed a new ROM?
I figured it must exist since it doesn't seem like a difficult concept, I could be wrong.
I use appbrain.com to reinstall apps from the market.
I use appsaver to save apks to sd card and file expert to reinstall multiple apks from sd card.

Appbrain is okay, but there is nothing automatic about it. Is there anything out there that will install and you won't have to accept permissions for each application?
rooted or non root solution
if you are looking for a root solution, you can always use rom toolbox or titanium backup. If you plan to buy one to get the completely auto data + app backup restore, i suggest rom toolbox only because not only does it manage apps, but it has many other features.
if you are looking for a nonrooted solution, you can get an app on the market to pull you apks and then manually install them as previously stated by someone else.
I remember one rom I installed over a year ago it had auto setup or something enabled where it download every single app I had ever installed from the market. No pratically really.
Its called cyanogenmod
