[Q] How do you remove preinstalled apps on a MyTouch 4G

First, I did search for the above question and got no hits. Which is a puzzle, but there you are.
Anyway, there are tons of useless clutter apps in my myTouch 4G apps folder, none of which can be removed by dragging to the trash can.
If anyone can point me to a way to delete them I would be most appreciative.
Tom

Root it.. then use titanium backup.

Thanks for the reply, but as you may have guessed, I am new at this, thus "root it" does not mean a lot to me.
By the way, saying "root it" to a bunch of Aussies might get you a few laughs in mixed company.
If you can direct me to any site or method with step-by-step procedures it would be a big help.
Tom

This is the easiest way
http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/10/how-to-temporarily-root-the-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-htc-glacier/
And titanium backup doesn't truly delete apps.
This method will tell you how
http://jaxov.com/2010/09/how-to-remove-stock-default-android-apps-easily/
But deleting the wrong thing will handicap the phone.

i dont know why ppl just dont search the forums first...wow.

Rooting gives you a level of permissions that allow you to modify system files and play around with things in non-userspace. Relevant threads will have moer info on that, or you can peruse the Wiki (link up top).
Regarding the preinstalled apps, my advice is not to even bother deleting them. It's not entirely trivial to figure out what the phone needs to run, and you might find out later that something you removed all of a sudden is necessary again. Also, the stock ROM has frameworks and stuff installed by HTC that you can't get rid of anyway. I think it's much much easier to install a custom ROM that has all that stuff removed right from the start.

We call those apps "bloatware", I can't believe none of you told him this yet..... grankins post for s-off(he has two save the ultimate for if your having troubles) is the most affective, use his alternate method midway through his OP.

The reason i didn't mention the Ultimate Guide was he asked for the easiest method. That is not per-say the easiest method. But i know it's the most effective method.

I didn't suggest ultimate either, it was for a backup plan if no success..... I refuse to use gfree, as I have no need for it.

"i dont know why ppl just dont" READ THE POST where it was stated that I DID a search that turned up nothing... "wow" back atcha. By the way, I would be happy to help out with some advice for you on spelling and punctuation. It would be at least as helpful as the advice you posted for me.
Tom

Thanks neidlinger, jdkoren and Mrdaviso for taking the time to help a newbie.
Now that I know the proper terminology, searching will be more effective too.

That is an option of course, but it even has several games installed as well as Amazon mp3 stores, Yahoo mail, Yahoo messenger, Rock Band, and other crapware I'll never use.
It is pretty unbelievable that T-mobile will not allow those things to be deleted (hence my original question).
Tom

I would root it, then install a custom ROM. 3 weeks ago I had no idea what root was either, but with the step by step walk through, I was able to do it with no issues. The development section will help you with basically everything you are trying to do.

This should help too....

You really started a thread of this nonsense. Flashing custom roms is for experienced users with knowledge of what they are doing. You barked up that tree, and foul language is unneccesary , actimg like this will never get you any kind of help. You gotta learn to walk before you run, further disrespect to others and devs will be a recamendation or risk of banded of your account.

Custom or original, I don't care, I tried the nice approach 2 days ago, no replies. I swear and look, REPLIES! wow huh?

Had I been told ANYWHERE on here that its near impossible to DOC reset or whatever its called I would not have bothered, it was my brothers who is a know all like some of you &^*^%*

Build NoMoarPowah for Galaxy 3

Can someone build NoMoarPowah like app for Galaxy 3?
NoMoarPowah is an app that automatically boots the (battery drained) phone in to android when connected to a charger. It is an amazing app but it is limited to a handful of Samsung devices only. I wish to expand the scope of this app. So, is there anyone who knows how to port this thing on Galaxy 3?
Post your questions/ concerns below.
SOLVED: Found this feature in SPICE MI 270

every android phone including our galaxy 3, boots up into android when it was switched off automatically due to low power and then connected to the charger !
why would we need an app ?
EDIT: And this is just a request so it should have been posted in the general or q&a section.
im sorry to say but even if you ported this app, it belongs to the apps section only. by no means it belongs to the dev section
This is only an advice, dont take it serious

Hey Ajay thanks for your reply. Though my thread is a request, the objective is to look for an answer to this issue. I appreciate your comments. Looking forward for more healthy discussions. Thanks!
BTW, I own Galaxy 3 for the past 1.5 yrs and i have not come across this phenomenon that you have mentioned in your post. I will surely try this and post back my experience.

this sounds interesting, but as ajay said, this section is for active android development, and you will most likely get more answers if posted in the right place (themes and apps). Thanks for posting though. I would suggest you ask the mod to move this thread for you. I hope someone can help you with this, good luck!

True

There is no source for this app... it is quite difficult to hack it and make compatible...
I know there are some tools to decompile apk into java source code but i'm a bit afraid to break some copyright rules... I do not want to do it, anyway this app would be useful man!

im amazed that this app really uses the touchscreen in powered off mode !!
quite amazed and now, into the modding/porting level..

I have extracted some files from the apk. I can share them if you want.
Note: Please use these files strictly for reference only.

You can ask Chainfire(the developer of this app). He will surely give the source code

Not going to happen, as it's a paid app.
The app should work, it's the images that need to be resized to fit our screen.
Anyone wanna give it a try, resize the images in assets folder in the apk, or in /system/nomoarpowah (after you've installed the app and install it's files), and then reboot.
Even it it doesn't work (unlikely), it won't do any harm

You should thread carefully even if it isn't a paid app. Just because an app (or any piece of software) is free that doesn't automatically mean you (legally) have the right to decompile and use it's source (code).

It seems to me that you didn't even give him a full day to respond, that's definitely not enough time. I understand that you are probably excited and anxious, but you still have to give him time.
I don't think work on this should be started before hearing from chainfire, I'd also suggest that a dev (preferably recognized) that would work on this be the one to contact him and find some kind of comprise (this is an ad or pro app so a compromise is probably necessary if chainfire himself won't be working on the app). Perhaps that "our" dev can release an ad free version solely on xda (that will only work with our phone) and that chain fire can release a version with ads on the market. That's just a suggestion, who knows what chainfire will say.
Anyways I know I'm interested in how he got it to work and would love to be able to view the code someday (when I have enough android knowledge to understand the code)

I do not mean to hurt or misjudge anyone but the truth is chainfire is not even responding to his consumers. If you go to his threads, you will see people waiting to get support from him but unfortunately he aint responding. In such a scenario, it is difficult to contact him.
What you suggest is the right way to approach this issue. But someone will need to take extra efforts to reach him.

I don't think that decomiling an app is something illegal both if the ap is free or aid. It becames illegal if you edit, recompile and distribute it.
Otherwise any tool like apk tools, dex2jar etc would be illegal.
Anyway i gave a look at the code and i found it a little difficult to understand. Well not difficult, i mean, a dev shoul spen a big tima to understand ot and make approriate changes... i do not have all of this time, but i can help if someone starts to work on this.

* This thread represents a whole nation so pls respect it and keep the rants out somewhere.
* If you dont have answer for any queries raised by a fellow user either ignore it or try helping him/her in a polite way.

* Sharing is knowledge!! share your knowledge of sgs2 and android as always.. it helps others a lot.
Though many of the senior members here know these rules, im pointing these things again specifically for the new users.:good:

@nelson
Yes this was like a hub where we used to share all S2 main related news. It used to be a summary kind thread where we used to know what all have happened in other parts of XDA or Android. Be it be a new ROM, a new app or tweaks or mods. Sad that old thread got plagued by lots of OT and mindless fights.
Hoping this thread will stay clean and much more knowledge oriented
Thank you for taking the initiative on starting his thread.
So now since the OP is now active in XDA (unlike the old thread) we can update some nice "must know points" as and when the days progress (like it's been done on S3 thread).

You have bookmarked some important posts in the older thread.[like H001]
Can u post them here so that they will be helpful for us and for any newcomer?

Yes, nice to see another thread. But I highly doubt how long is this gonna last. Just hope for the best.
Just a KIND REQUEST to the kids, please think thrice before posting OT and restrain yourself from posting if you aren't sure what you're doing and what's your purpose here, it's easy. There are PLENTY forums elsewhere, floating, where you can fight and argue about XboX, PS3, PC, Apple vs Android and blah blah and all those highly nonsense bull****, so why chose XDA? And please keep using proper English, this is not a literature topic that you need to show your language skills with your mother tongue, no one is interested.

The old thread is closed people. This thread will be too if all the posts rant about the closed thread.
Lets make a new beginning.
BTW: Did anyone figure out how to install the OTA available in sammobile? I tried with stock LP7 unrooted firmware. Didnt work..

[Q] Stock Samsung Keyboard on Blu Kuban

Hey guys, I was wondering if it's possible to flash the stock Samsung keyboard back onto the phone when using the Blu Kuban rom. I know the SamsungIME.apk is a system app and must be pushed into the system folder along with the odex file I believe. I've tried with both ES and Root Explorer, after copying it to another system folder, changed the permissions, and then copied it to the app folder. However nothing seems to work in allowing me to put it back. Am I missing something? I've even deleted the keyboard that Ruj gives with the rom and no joy.
It wouldn't be such a huge issue if the keyboard that was included didn't censor my words. I tend to have a filthy vocabulary and when swiping it won't allow me to use profanity. Outside of that, I prefer the numbers row on top of the keyboard as well. I know the rom is odexed and even pulled the stock apk out of a stock odexed rom to be sure, and then several other apks I've found around online. Sorry my first post after lurking for so long is really... well long, but I've usually been able to solve everything by thorough searching, but this one is beating me.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Try adding the libjni_latinime.so lib back to the /system/lib folder.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately that still had no effect. Tried with and without your keyboard still installed.
Alittle off topic, but since I can't yet post under your rom thread, I'd like to thank you now for all the development you've been doing. You were the sole reason I was able to bear with my E4GT up until the other day when my upgrade came into effect so I could get this S4, and ultimately swayed my choice in going with it. I dunno why the keyboards giving me such issues though.
Also, Rujelus, it might be alittle forward of me, but what I'd actually really love would be a themed version of that original Samsung keyboard. If that's out of line or out of the question I apologize, I'm not sure how much demand there really is for that. Honestly my favorite feature on it is the full keyboard with numbers without having to hit the symbol key. But, I'd mostly content with just being able to install the original again lol.

Don't worry. I am going to theme a bunch of stuff that was removed from the ROM. It will all be available through the updater. I will try and get to the keyboard soon. :thumbup:

Thanks, I really appreciate it! When I first saw the updater on my E4GT I thought it was the coolest thing on a rom ever haha.
Also, sorry for the wrong forum section, was late didn't realize I was in the wrong spot.
