Custom ROM question - Droid X General

I know that contacts automatically update in my gmail contacts, but I also like using Verizon backup assistant as a backup plan. Are there any custom ROMS that have Verizon backup assistant built in? Or does anyone have the apk so I can install it to a diff custom ROM?

I have not found the backup assistant in any of the custom Rome that I've tried. What exactly do you like about it?

I like having an extra backup. Also, I like knowing that Verizon has my contacts just in case (God forbid) I get something in the future that's NOT a Droid.

You may want to try mybackup pro. It is a third party app that you can use to backup all the data on your phone

Flashing to Nero v3 TouchWiz Edition?

I for one am very disappointed with samsung for droping the ball with the vibrant...and I found this amazing sounding rom(Nero v3 TouchWiz Edition) that I am thinking about flashing to.
My question is will I be able to keep all my data and apps and whatnot...and if I get ROM Manager (Premium) will I be able to recieve updates for Nero v3 TouchWiz Edition via OTA? And last but not least: When I receive the update will I have to re install all my apps and stuff everytime?
Get titanium backup premium and rom manager. Make sure you back up all your apps and youre golden. When you flash a rom your sd card isnt effected you can restore all your apps and data. Google also has a record of the apps you downloaded. Titanium is just easier and can reload data. I think youll find flashibf roms great. I have been doing it a month and am not looking back. Good luck. Be sure to check out the vibrant bible on the vibrant development section. Loads of help.

You won't get OTA updates for a custom rom, but if you flash back to stock, you will.

I mean like "Receive notifications for when your ROM is updated!" on like Rom manager or something not the stock rom
You wont get ota via rom manager unless the dev supports ota on rom manager. i think the only dev using ota or updates on rom manager is sonofskywalker. team whiskey in my opinion has the best roms.

I recommend use some ROM with CWM recovery...and then always backup and restore using cwm recovery only...
so u wont loose data...
if u flash any ROM using Odin, then most probably u will loose the data...
I have used Titanium Backup Pro from the market. The contacts and calendar are already on the cloud, and with Titanium I have backed up all my apps. After flashing to a different ROM I could restore all my apps with data to the new ROM. I suggest you to buy Pro version for a small fee, as it can backup you applications in batch, otherwise its tedious to select them one-by-one.

removing bloatware on a HTC EVO 4g flashed to cricket

after i have rooted my htc evo 4g flashed to cricket... does anyone have a list of bloatware that i can remove safely and not mess my phone up ?
Teeter, sprint NFL..um, that's a start.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Thank you I did those 2 and no problems thus far any more suggestions would be nice from anyone thank you I just don't want to have to pay cricket to reflash this thing
U can remove all sprint apps if u use a 3rd party launcher u can remove Rosie and all the sense Widgets u can also remove a long list of the other apks like calculator and stuff if u have 3rd party apps or just don't need em. Since u are rooted you should get titanium backup pro u can then backup all the apks u wanna delete then u can restore them if u ever have a need too
Edit: you can search for the safe to remove apps for sprint evo they are all safe for flashed phones, or you could install a.custom rom like the classic or SOS

Thank you did all the sprint apps how about the Amazon and blockbuster? And I'm a little ifffy on doing roms but if I was to do a rom is that going to revert me back to sprint?
No roms wont revert you back to sprint, Amazon blockbuster are safe in titanium backup app most all apps listed in white are removable somewhere around xda there is a safe apps to remove list if I come across it ill post a link for u otherwise Google "safe apps to remove evo 4g"

Or, just root the phone, easy to do. I'd also recommend that you put on custom recovery to be safe, as it can get you out of all sorts of trouble rather than having Samsung's lame recovery.
Once you've done that, install titanium backup from the store. Freeze any and all applications you want. Download your preferred applications and you are done.
Sure, you can go the extra step of putting on a third party ROM, but for most people, that's overkill.
Once you have root, a custom recovery and Titanium Backup installed, you might want to do three things:
1. Do a ROM backup from the recovery, after it's saved move to your PC. Keep it there for safekeeping.
2. Set up a backup schedule in Titanium Backup. Back up applications and data to an SD card
3. Install Xposed Framework, and then pick a good multi-porpose module like Wanam, and you can highly customize your phone without putting on a third party ROM.
All of these three things are available and easy to find in XDA. They make your experience more powerful, customizable and safer.
Thx !

Just an fyi, it actually has the stock browser included called Internet. They just changed the home page to their own, you can change it back to whatever you like.

I dont believe it was included on the S5. I was more or less replaced with one handed mode (which can be activated in the settings) and several other actions.

Custom ROM, need Verizon Visual Voicemail app back..

I've recently flashed FreedomROM to my Verizon variant Galaxy S5. Everything is running incredibly smooth; aside from being unable to access Visual Voicemail or find it on the play store. All other Verizon apps are also gone, which is fine. The only two I used were VVmail and the My Verizon app for data and account stuffI have tried installing a 3rd party app but it messed up my data services.
Can anyone recommend how to get this back? I'm unable to find an .APK for my specific device, nor am I able to find it on the play store.
Thanks! (also, I hope this is the correct place for asking)

You would have to pull it from a stock verizon rom or if you use titanium backup and made a backup you could restore it with titanium backup won't get it from playstore unless it on your phone

I am of course unable to retrieve this app due to being on a different ROM. I also do not have this particular app backed up via Titanium.
