About app updates...

I did a factory reset on my phone and restored all my apps through titanium backup. However, when I go to downloads in the marketi don't ee my installed apps listed.having said that, do you guys know if updates will be affected? Are they based on the apps installed or the apps listed under downloads in the market? Thanks in advance!

Try market doctor in titanium backup. It can be accessed by pressing the menu button on paid version. Not sure about free version.

I personally use atrackdog for my updates as not all my apps show up in the market due to the same ordeal.

If you redownload it will fix the market link or like mentioned before you can get the donate version of Titanium Backup.
Its no big deal either way.

It shows up now... Though I may have to check the download tab myself for updates which really isn't a big deal. I'll try the suggestions you guys have me if needed in the future again. Thanks : )

I try every app for whatever need I have. I.e, tried all the launchers, all the file managers, etc...what kinds of apps are you needing, or what are you interested in? I was thinking just today that I need to start blogging app reviews for power users...

Has anyone been successful with rooting on DL17 version?
And if so, can you point me to the instructions?

Look in the Continuum> Android Development forum under Root That Works...

Nice tip Thanks :thumbup:
Does it get deleted though? I.e. does it free up memory?

Yes it does
Same action performed by titanium backup

Yeah, but just one thing, not everything is bloat, and blocking it is sometimes, or most times becomes an obsession rather than necessity.

Nope it doesn't free up memory. It's still there but unusable. Btw this option has been available in android since ICS, nothing new.

Simple proof of concept
do a benchmark
disable majority of heavy apps
benchmark again
again this tip will help people who does not want to root

I rooted my S4 Active, now what....

I am still pretty new to android, but I can follow instructions, so I rooted the as4 Active.
I removed the bloatware, I think.
What now? What is worth my time to do?
Really all I feel like I need is to play emulators with a PS3 controller, any good free apps for that?

Welcome to XDA by the way

Yeah, I guess reading 100 pages of the same suggestions of how to and what I have already done is worth while.
Everyone says to root the phone, but I guess there is no real use.

The biggest advantages for me were to be able to run Titanium backup, ad block, Helium, Xposed and have read/write access to the system folder. With access to system, you can remove or disable apps you can't normally uninstall. You can also install modified system APKs like the dark dialer.
So there are a few advantages that let you have a more control control over your phone, but it is a few steps short of loading a full blown custom ROM in recovery.

So, I downloaded Dark Dialler, moved the original files, but it wont let me move the new ones into the app folder.

Quick question...

After rooting your device, what steps did u take to make the phone faster?
I removed some bloatware of course, just the usual ones like TripAdvisor, Gmail and so on...
I was wondering what other apps I can do without on the phone?
And not just removing apps, is there any other way to de-clutter my phone and make using it a faster experience...?
