[Q] ClockworkMod + Titanium Force Remove App doesn't work

I have my Desire Z with S-OFF using ClockworkMod and I tried to use the Titanium at to remove the Bell bloatware. Uninstalling doesn't work because it's part of the system image. So I tried the force remove app with removes it from the system and says will restart the phone twice.
It goes and restarts but it stops at the ClockworkMod bootloader screen. Is there a way around this or a different way to remove the apps? Anyone else run into this problem? I don't really want to go through the whole unbranding thing...

Click menu and go into batch mode and scroll to bottom where u fibd user and system apps...thats how i removed mine

Didn't work, it just removes them from the Titanium list and they are still in my app drawer and functionable... when I restart they come back to the titanium list...

I just retried doing the regular uninstall instead of the force remove again and it seems to have worked. I haven't restarted my phone yet (with fastboot off) but the apps are gone from the app drawer and they didn't do that last time I tried it.

I have the same issue, it appears that the ClockworkMod interferes with the rebooting of Titanium Backup to delete the items. I would bet that if you do a restart the apps will be back on the phone.

How do you change keyboards from rom

I currently have the android revolution Rom and want to get rid of the arrow keys on the bottom of the keyboard.
So I'm guessing I would have to replace the keyboard completly

As far as I know that is true unless the keyboard has configuration options, or plugins of some sort.

Nope there is no settings and yeah I don't use the arrows at all just takes up space for me

My favorite is the swype beta, which available for free if you register for it at http://beta.swype.com
Good Luck!

I understand that the easy way out but I like the stock keyboard was looking for someone to tell me how to swap out the keyboard or flash another or something
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

I thought RC tweaks had an option for turning the arrows off?

I looked all over rc Tweaks and didnt see anything about it
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

If u wanna swap out a keyboard from a different rom just take out the apk and replace it.

Ok thanks and its just a simple cut and paste? Do I have to reflash it with the Rom? Also where would that be located?

Do not proceed if you have no idea what you're doing! i'm not responsible for whatever happens to your device by following this guide.​
Method 1. use a file explorer that has access to the system like root explorer.
make sure you have rw access first
copy the file to /system/app
set permissions to rw r r
reboot
Method 2. use androidSDK/adb
move the file to location of adb i.e C:/androidsdk/platform-tools
connect phone to computer
open command window
type in the following:
Code:
adb devices
adb push location-of-your-file /system/app
adb reboot
you made need to set permissions for it to work
to do that:
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /system/app/name-of-file
reboot
both these methods require su and root!

Can you also add a keyboard as a 2nd one..like instead of replacing one, just add an apk and have the option to choose between the 2?

Yeah. When you add a keyboard (like swift key keyboard) just go to settings, language & keyboard, then select your keyboard you just installed. Voila!

One more question.. I looked in system/app with root explorer, and I looked 2 and 3.times, and I see no keyboard apk? Where else could it be or what other name?

Ok, I took the HTC_IME.apk from the LeeDroid Rom which my wife uses, & I put it in the /system/app folder in the Endymion Rom which I am using and I fixed permissions, rebooted, & it works ok til I try to close it after I'm done typing, then it force closes. It just says HTC_ime has stopped suddenly and must close bla bla bla! My 1st thought was that I think LeeDroid is sense 3.0 & this Endymion is sense 3.5? Or is there another way to fix it? Only difference is the arrows across the bottom, which I like. Thanks..

That's what it sounds like. Try taking it from Virtuous Fusion or Unity, then it will probably work.

Also im doing it in terminal emulator I dont know if thats causing my problem cuz the .apk keeps causing a fc

[Q} What 'Launcher' is this?

I'm on stock ROM with tablet mode enabled (changed DPI in build.prop) and this is my home screen. I really like the app launcher being the discrete little icon in the top corner but I have no idea how to change settings to get that there on another ROM. I've loaded several different ROMs but always end up restoring my backup just for that launcher!
Can anybody tell me what that is and how to configure it on other ROMs?

That's the stock launcher in tablet mode.

I knew the answer would be simple. Thank you! So if I want that on another ROM I can just extract Launcher2.apk from this one and install elsewhere? Or do I need other files too?

Just put the other rom into tablet mode via dpi and it'll do it automatically. Or use paranoid android and select everything to be tablet without changing DPI.

I had tried that on Paranoid but was still left with the phone launcher. I'm going to play around a bit tonight though. I've got 3 or 4 ROMs downloaded and I'll see which one I can make work. Thanks again.

[Help] Nova launcher & custom icons

Coming from the Galaxy Nexus, I could change app icons on Nova launcher to custom icons I made myself which I placed in the Pictures folder.
Now however, I cant do the same. Nothing changes after selecting the icon I want. Downloaded icon themes work though...
Is this a bug in Nova itself?
Thanks.

I am running custom rom - [V0.3] Doc's Barebone aosp hybrid (WIP)

same problem
Since Nova updated to 2.1 I am encountering the same trouble!
I used to change stock icons with icons in my gallery but now it just can't seem to work.
I follow the same step as described above. I'm on a i9505 Galaxy S4 with Omega V3. I had the same issue on stock firmware.
Have you found any solution ?

Great news! The latest beta update fixes this problem.

Same problem here but I've installed the latest beta and the problem has been fixed with that update.

Install the latest beta (2.1.1) from here. This will fix the issue with custom icons not sticking
