Got Froyo 2.2 rooted how to del new unwanted apps

OK...I am on stock 2.2 with the ClockworkMod manually added...I am a newbie but read this much to get it all working...
How do I get rid of the apps like
-My Verizon Mobile
-Skype
-VZ Nav
-QuickOffice
-etc, etc
I do not want them running in the background and AutoStart App is not stopping them on 2.2. Help any advice, detailed steps from the pros??

there is an app in the marketplace called "system app remover"
only works with root access. I can't verify that it works, but that is what it claims to do

If I were you I'd just flash rmk40's Virtuous ROM. Its main principle is stock froyo w/ sense, with unwanted bloatware reversibly removed. Rom Manager and Titanium Backup will be useful to you if you go this route. Check it out and see what you think...

Look for the thread in this section titled Sky Raider Rom FAQ. It has instructions on removing unwanted apps via adb.

Titanium Backup will allow you to remove them, but you will need to donate to get the full features. Worth it.

Easy way to get your apps back in a new android version!

I'm really irritated by the fact, that when I install a new android version, that I always have to install all my apps app by app.
It might sound like a logic and stupid solution, but in the Android map, there's a submap called AndroidApps(or Android Apps).
Put all your apps you want to have on your new android version, and you have them back with first start!
Let me know if it works with all the android version. For the Mdeejay Desire Z 1.1 version it worked!
And excuse me for my bad English, still learning!

I already know that,and yes that will work. But i use titanium backup for that,because it also backups the system settings for the apps. So you do not have to configure them again

mybackup pro also works very well and is a lot easier for begginers than titanuim backup.
but tb is a brilliant backup app and works very well for me

Ok, so where do you get these apps again? Are they apps?

On the market,they are not free,but it is every penny worth of it.

Yes, As I said you can download your apps from another site so you have the apk's. And then put it in the folder.

I recently upgraded my Android build from MDeejay's HD v3.4 to 3.6 and left all folders on the SD card from the previous build, just replacing the Android folder and all my apps restored themselves once I opened the Market. First time I've left all the program folders on when changing versions but will be doing this going forward as found titanium backup can corrupt some versions and isn't recommended with some. Takes 2mins to re-sign in to apps.

Titanium backup free works for me, but I believe if you keep the data.img when you change Roms (a new one is created on first boot), all your apps and settings will carry across.
Worked for me.

[Q] Changing MiniCM 2.2.1 to Gingerbread 2.3.3

Hi..
Right now I have a MiniCM RC2 flashed in my Shakira. I want to try the newest xCyanogen Gingerbread v1 ROM. My question is if I want to change current ROM, should I just keep all of my installed application on SD Card before flashing into new ROM or should I backup it with Titanium Backup first then uninstall it or move it to phone before backing up current ROM and flashing the new ROM?
Thank you

You can use titanium backup.. but the one I read, xCyanogen Gingerbread from owain still some issues in Rooted apps like Titanium Backup.. You'll get some troubles on restoring the apps later.. But if u keep the apps installed in SD Card, then you'll not be able to see the previous apps..
My suggest, just install the apps manually when you already use the xCyanogen Gingerbread.. Btw, xCyanogen Gingerbread now is now fixed to v2.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044876

Thank you so much..

u can also just use astro file manager to back up most of your apps . tht way wont have to download them again. Its just more convenient this way.
Use the SE backup and restore app for keeping all your settings and app list. Its a simple app unlike titanium . It can act as plan B

Help on g-lite!

Ok I just flashed glite last night and everything is working fine except swype...I reinstalled swype off a backup and when I try to use the keyboard it instantly force closes. I even tried a different apk. Any ideas? I'm lost I like glite but if I can't get swype working ill probably go back to ota gb rooted. Also how the hell to I access the oc deamon on glite?

Have you tried fixing permissions? Also, the OC Daemon can be accessed through the Virtuous OC apk. It's somewhere in the forums >.<

Ok ill look for it. And yea I tried fixing permission, but that ran literally all night I canceled it when I woke up 8 hours later cuz I think it was just looping.

A link to the app

so I tried getting the beta from swype but the installer just gives me a parsing error. This is really frustrating. And looking for an apk is worse...I'm really regretting romming my phone with this rom. Not only that it freezes randomly...I did a proper install, when it does freeze and I go to pull the battery it is way hot! Anyways priority number one is swype, if I can't get that working I'm flashing my nandroid backup. All I really wanted was OC and possibly better battery life. Oh well any help?

Have not personally used G-Lite but Ive heard good things about it, Is it only with G-Lite that your battery runs hot? Sounds to me there is a problem with your phone/battery and that is causing the freezing,G-Lite is not overclocked by default so how did you get the OC deamon installed?I would try reflashing G-Lite and leave the OC out of it and see if that helps

Actually i did try that, and from my understanding it comes overclocked already to 1 ghz fresh from flashing. In either case i tried turning it up and down with setcpu, leaving the oc out, and pretty much everything i can think of to no avail. Anyways i re flashed my backup so I'm good right now but I also heard great things, but oh well guess it just didn't work out for me. Plus getting swype to work was impossible! lol i tried several different methods and had no luck so I just gave up I really wanted overclock, but I dont want to compromise swype or the reliability of the stock rom I'm running right now.

maybe when a 1.0.4 comes out? Hows xboarder mod compared to the stock ota pre-rooted?

You can try meXdroidRom! Its really fast and butter smooth, and you can choose to have the stock Android theme installed if you want.
Also comes with Swype built in too!

Sign up to get the beta at http://beta.swype.com the old installers will give you the parsing error, or try it while connected to a more reliable connection like wifi.
You will need to uninstall swype that you currently have on the device, but it will work fine.
I will install the gamut of ROM's every once in awhile, but glite keeps pulling me back because of the battery life.

I did try the website and it was a nogo used wifi too and tried like 5 times oh well. I really want it to work

I just really need my phone working for work boo...anyways so any other rock solid roms out there basically stock launcher and theme?

Also oc and battery life and swype is a must! Lol

The Virtuous OC Daemon is included in Glite 1.0.3. Edit the files in /system/etc/virtuous_oc manually, or use the OC Beater app that was linked previously. Swype is also built into the ROM; however, it automatically uninstalls itself if you're installing Glite and aren't in the US (by design).
If you delete all traces of Swype (use Titanium Backup) then install the version from the Swype website, it will work just fine.
Glite is a VERY solid ROM, and you'd be hard-pressed to find something with better battery life. A 1.0.4 version should eventually be made available that merges in Tmo/HTC's latest 2.3.4 base.
Hope that helps.

You can set meXdroidRom to use the stock launcher and theme before you flash it

I superwiped, and am living in the us and it still didn't install swype. I did get the rom off their official site so maybe it was that. The md5 checked out hmm maybe I'll give it another go. I enabled stock launcher and theme. So all good there.

I really want the updated version though...lol when!? Jk

Well reinstalled it today and wiped 3 times with superwipe and recovery wipe plus the roms autowipe. Got swype working finally I'm in the process of restoring apps. I know restoring system data is trouble but would restoring things like my wallpaper, bookmarks etc also cause problems I really. Don't wwant to setup my homescreens again! Lol

I Need some good advice for my Wildfire

Hello guys, I own a wildfire and I'm having a bad time with it.
I use Launcher pro, lot of widgets installed, 2gb card that has very few free space and my problem is that it is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.
Slow as hell.
I just cant stand it anymore.
I have stock rom, not even rooted, all stock except launcher and widgets.
I need advice on what steps should I do to make it run smoothly, cuz I'm half step from throwing it out of the window.
Give some advice on the steps I sould do, root, custom rom, oveclock, anything that might work.
Also, if you can post me the threads for the steps I should do, I would be grateful.
Thanks!

I definetely would root it and use setCPU and overclock it.
And put your apps on the SD card instead of internal memory.
That would help I suppose.
But for sure there are other real experts that can help you
Good luck

Hi I suggest you take a look in the wildfire buzz ''dev'' section. I would root and try some roms. CyanogenMod 7 I use with overclock and its alot faster/ smoother. Also got some tweaks to improve it more. I hope this helps you.

buy a galaxy gio 120 euros and you have one or a other mobile because the wildfire would be forever slow im happy thats mine wildfire is broken.

tweaks are for cm7 and can be used on other roms. Depends on what you need. Also cm7 has its own tweaking in settings. As for downgrading, if you are on hboot 1.01.0002 then you need to downgrade to 1.01.0001. Or if you on 80.00002(something like that can't remember exact number), i would upgrade to 1.01.0001. Revolutionary only at present works with 1.01.0001 as far as I'm aware. But honestly I think you will like the difference once done.

Bro, I even start to type and the whole phone lags, when I open handcent sms, it takes A CENTURY to open....
I hope the difference will be noticable.
Is CM7 the most stable?
Can I have a backup to my current state? So in case something goes bad I can recover?

just go for cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 stable, that should do the trick for you. will be faster and smoother and with decent app2sd. and yes you can do a backup, its called a nandroid back up and you perform it from your custom recovery( dont worry you`ll get one during the process of rooting ect). a nandroid back up is and exact copy of how your phone is now. rom/apps/appinfo everything. so if **** hits the fan you can always go backto your nandroid backup. also if all else fails you can use a htc program called a ruu which will completely revert the phone back to stock. hboot recovery rom all of it

I just rooted and installed CM7. I have a problem, I followed this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365159
And I used the backup at the step 31, with the revolutionary thing.
Well before the wipe, I backed up a lot of things, except my contacts. Is there any way I can find them inside this backup that was made during step 31?
Well the phone runs a little bit more faster but not that fast.
I'll try OC and we'll see.

or make a nandroid backup, then restore your previous backup, download an app called contact2sim and copy all of your contacts over to your sim. and then reflash your nandroid. or i think the stock contacts app has the ability to export all your contacts to your sdcard as a .xml file, take that and then you can out them on your other nandroid and on your pc for safe keeping
