Removing Bloatware with Titanium Backup

So I tried uninstalling Bing with TB and it went smoothly. I rebooted the phone after and no issues whatsoever. Google is now the default search engine. I have heard from others that deleting the bloatware can have unpredictable results and maybe not allow firmware update when froyo comes out. I am thinking of uninstalling the bloatware using TB and would like to know if anyone has done this and with what result.

just use the donate version of TB to simply freeze them...this will deactivate them as well as remove them from your apps list so that when it comes time for a OTA update. You simply defrost them and you are good to go.

I was thinking, even if I just uninstall the bloatware, I can always do a factory reset later on to get my phone back to stock. Then I can update to froyo. Will this work??

When you update to froyo it should be in the form of a rom you flash from here. Enjoy your phone and battery life now and freeze all that crap but nothing google.
good day.

If I'm not mistaken doing a factory reset will not un freeze apps in TB but I'd you delete them I don't see why they wouldn't return.

I used TB to back up the apps and system but for some reason it did not back up the bloatware apk's. I ended up using Super Manager. Its got an APK manager app that let's me backup everything, even the bloatware APK's. So now I can reinstall everything when its time to update to froyo.

Apps crashing all over the place

I have the Rogers version of the Streak. I unlocked it, ran the QDL tool, and updated to the latest Dell update.
The stock apps ie weather, email, anything installed from market, crash and lock up the phone when opened.
Any advice on resolving these crashes?

Have you tried a factory reset? Usually if you have FCs all over the place and not a specific app a FC might fix it. (do a nandroid backup before hand and if a FC doesnt work, you dont lose anything)

I had some issues with stock apps like the accuweather crap. I just used titanium back up to remove those crap apps.

I will try the nandroid backup and do a hard reset. If that doesnt work, Ill root it and remove the apps using titanium backup.

Market re-download problems since .602?

I think this issue started with .602, but I'm not certain. After wiping the phone (and yes backup was always checked off) my apps once installed from the market do not redownload. Some that were installed dont show up on the web version of the market either. Did something break in the second GB update and was there ever a solution for this?

It had been reported to Google. No fix yet.
See http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17354
Apparently, the app download routine "quietly" crashes in the background, and subsequent apps don't restore.

Market Issues

I've been running EI22 since the first OTA day and I now have an interesting issue. I've tried stock, deodexed, and ACS 3.5 and had no issues. But I switched back to the latest deodexed stock rom and now my market won't update. I can't clear the cache or user data in the applications menu either.
Wouldn't be a big deal but it keeps giving me a network error when I try to go to my apps from the market screen.
Anyone know a fix short of reflashing?

Try using Titanium Backup to clear Market data and also in Google Services Framework. Then with 3G on (icon in notification bar) connect to Market (making sure you signed into Gmail the first time). It should connect. If not make sure your ROM didn't delete the SprintAndroidExtensions and Sprint_updater apks.

Thanks kenny. Clearing the data in Titanium Backup worked. Still took a bit of dirty talk and a few ugly looks to get the market to update though.

[Q] G2 force closes new apps after reboot

A few days ago I updated cyanogenmod on my phone to a nightly build and found a weird problem. Whenever I installed any app and rebooted the phone, the app would always force close when it was opened. This problem kept occuring even if the cache or the data was cleared, and the only way to fix the problem would be to uninstall and reinstall the app, which would last untill the next reboot. Also, some apps would not appear in the app drawer. I tried to install a stable firmware, but the problem still exists. Is there a solution?

It even got rid of google play! The only way to get it back is to uninstall the updates and then reupdate it.
