I just rooted my phone and installed fresh rom. LOVING IT BY THE WAY. I installed titanium backup and backed.up the lock screen apk before deleting it to get the standard android lock but I can't seem to find out how to reinstall it should I just re flash the rom to get it back? Oh and I did do a nandroid backup before I deleted it thanks in advance

If you did a nand backup, then just restore it.
Thanks man I really appreciate it. But I've got another question non related about Roms can anybody recommend a good stock rom that still has hdmi and 4g I liked cm6 but it is clearly lacking these features

For a great stock based ROM, I recommend Ava's z1 or MikFroyo. If you don't want much Sense in your phone, go with VaelPak 3.0 for sure. It rocks and runs with less of HTC's bloat than any other ROM I have ran.
Also, in the future, if you want to delete apk's from the system for whatever reason, just rename them with a file explorer like Root Explorer. Just navigate to /system/app and locate the apk, like htclockscreen.apk and rename it to something like htclockscreen.apk.old. That will make it disappear until you decide you want it back, then you can just rename it back, and you're good to go. That will work with just about any app you don't want around any more. Plus it has the benefit of being easily reversible if there are problems associated with it's removal.
Thank man life saver!

I cant seem to find a decent rom for my newly rooted evo shift. was wondering if anyone has found a good solution.. i saw on other forums we have NFX's rom and another stock rom( which is mis-labled as a rom) I would just like a rooted rom with all of sprints bloatware removed.. Nothing too facny, maybe even with OC, let me know what you guys find!
Why don't you remove the bloatware yourself? Then flash bcnice's OC kernel.
^ Shift Faced
The easiest way for you to remove the bloatware would be done using titanium backup. Its available in the market, I recommend the pro version.

i am running bcnices Desire Z port, along with his kernel. The desire z rom offers ALOT more than the shift rom. it still has the bloatware (anyone know how to remove that?) but its much nicer.

Buy and use Titanium Backup, or open the rom with winzip (Don't extract) and remove the apk's before installing the rom.
Correct me if I'm wrong...but hasn't it been said that removing the bloat completely isn't safe and that the better solution is to rename the .apk files?? I don't remember the exact method of doing so nor do I recall what we were to rename the files but I do recall seeing something to that extent.
That was in the Epic forum though as well if that makes a difference.

Renaming the files would do nothing. You can remove the bloatware with no issues.
how do you use titanium backup to remove apps? I got all of them almost gone except like sprint zone and nfl and stuff like that cuz i cant find the apk listed..

HTC EVO Shift ROMS
Hello everyone I am very new to android platform. I recently left my long time companion the iPhone lol an am very confused, I wanted to root my new Evo Shift but dont know much about Rooting so I did a temproot with Visionary, and installed Rom Manager Pro, & Titanium backup pro which Titanium downloaded BusyBox as well! And I am trying to figure out how or where to get custom roms which I guess are the themes and custom software (OS)! Can someone please help me out? I also seen the comment about Face Shift can someone explain to me what that is?

Is it possible on a rooted dhd to backup the apk files you download from the Android market using root explorer As opposed to using titanium backup or the likes of?

Yes you can backup your apk files with Root Explorer, but it will not have your apk data [i.e. app data link to the Market] with the backup, but would with Titanium Backup.

Sorry guys maybe I should of explained a bit more I'm looking to buy some apps up to now only used free 1s but with flash different roms sometimes you need to full wipe and don't quite no how that would work after buying an app then wiping my phone
I assume (and may be wrong) that when I download an app from the market it downloads the apk file what I would like to do is then use root explorer to move the apk files to M/S then back them up to pc for safe keeps or does it not work like that and I just sound like a tool lol
If it is possible then where are the downloaded apks?
I don't want to use titanium backup as some people report problems while using the ARHD performance patch plus was under the impression that backing up apps then sometimes they course problems when installing on different base ie 2.2 to 2.3(gb) which hopefully won't be.to long away
Many thanks again

1, I used titanium backup in both froyo and gingerbread and have no problem. And trust me, titanium backup is extremely useful when it comes to flashing a new ROM that requires full wipe.
2,FYI, your downloaded apps are stored in /data/apps , copy them with root explorer.

Paid apps can always be downloaded again free of charge from the market after a wipe if that's what you are worried about..

That would happen if someone using Titanium were to choose Backup all use apps + system data, then after installing a different ROM using Titanium to restore the apps + system data, which of course would be form the other ROM, which would:-
course problems when installing on different base ie 2.2 to 2.3(gb) which hopefully won't be.to long away

So my Galaxy Y informs me with that annoying popup (and in the notification dropdown) saying that it's Internal Storage is getting low, I already uninstalled other bloatwares like the Dual Clock app but the notification still stays there.
When I'm looking for another bloatwares -that are installed as system apps- to uninstall, my eyes got stuck at the "Email" (Email.apk) app. It eats 5 MB of my Internal Phone storage and I'm going to remove it, but some guys here (in XDA Forums, of course) said that it's not safe to uninstall this (like on this thread), while some other guys said it's safe to remove (like here and here, I got those links from XDAForums user, forgot their usernames though)
So, hey guys, have anybody of you ever tried to remove this Email.apk? Does uninstalling it will break something? I really need to get answer from people who have experience with this so I can do this with no doubts and worries, thanks!
When I first tried to get my stock rom deodexed, I did remove that email.apk and nothing went wrong with it.
I suggest that if your guts says no, it be best if you just disable it with titanium backup or the like.

You could have used multi quote.
Your device must be rooted.
Then you can use simple app like link2sd or any file explorer like root explorer/es file maneger to remove those apps

I have just one issue,when I apply themes they will NOT apply I get the same issue with other launchers too,so far I've tried Nova,Apex,My Launcher & a few others,but still if I download & install extra themes they will not set the theme image in the background or skin on the main home page,the icons change but that's it.
Please any info on this would be much appreciated,I've searched & Searched but found no answer to this problem...

The post above you has a fix in his signature that is this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42181794&postcount=75 give that a try.
You won't be able to install TWRP until you install a 2nd bootloader. Once you do that, you flash the ROM from there.
