I recently downloaded teslaunread to use in conjunction with widgetlocker and for some reason it isn't working.
My phone is a stock T-Moblie G2 but other than that I'm not sure what other info you might need, however I'd be happy to supply it when prompted.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi all,
My first post, I just started following this site a couple of weeks ago and I hope to become a fairly active member in the community.
That being said... I've recently purchased the Samsung Vibrant in Canada, for the most part the model is the same but doesn't have a dedicated search button (you hold the menu button for 3/4 of a second and it brings up the search prompt) but anyways...
I'm looking at rooting my phone and installing a custom rom and I'm wondering if there is a way to transfer or backup some of the apps that come with the samsung rom? Mainly - Swype, there is no going back to normal touchkeyboards after you've swyped for a couple of days..
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Without rooting there is no way to back up the stock apps from what I know.
So if I root, I would be able to backup the stock apps?
...and then install a custom rom and re-install the backed-up-stock-apps?

Yes most definitely.
Trying this again....
(the other threads, a couple weeks old now, did not contain much information)
Rooted users, what software/apps have you removed (and noticed no unsatisfying results)?
Also, what did you use to delete/remove/freeze/disable?
What device do you have, easiest way is to use clean tool from Scott in the developers section, or simply flash Clean ROM
CleanRom
LG G2.
Not looking for a ROM. Looking to delete apps.

...Alright lets try once more. Who is you carrier? Clean tool is not a rom, it is a utility that removes bloat, it can be found in the AT&T dev section. IF you so wish to manually do something that someone with YEARS of experience has done for you automagically with the clean tool, there is a list in said post, with an entire list of all apps that were removed.
Most people use either root explorer, solid explore, rom toolbox pro, or titanium back up. Have a good one.
Verizon.
... I'm done

Any actual answers?

Did you search?
My thread lists about everything safe to disable it delete. (I'd disable first just in case.)

If you mean whether like on the Optimus G LG has locked down the apps so that if you uninstall them the ROM will refuse to boot, then that's a no. It's been confirmed that you can use Titanium to freeze and uninstall (or you could just flash cleanrom and it does the work for you).
thanks fr4nk1yn and droid_<3er, for the list and also the info. Just what I was looking for!
I love my device (802) but one thing is really bugging me about it in it's present state.......I hate the fact that the navigation buttons take up a large portion of my beautiful screen in most applications
Firstly, I like to keep my phone unrooted so that I can enjoy skygo, meaning custom roms and mods which require root are out of the question for me and, secondly, I have tried the hide navbar mod which is included in the stock Korean rom and I think it is an excellent solution and one which LG has successfully developed and implemented for those lucky few.
There is an app in the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.ppareit.immersivemode which attempts to achieve immersive mode across many kitkat devices enabling the user to enable immersive mode for any selected app just like the implementation on the Korean rom without the necessity for root. This app achieves what I require but, unfortunately, is very buggy.
I would like to appeal to the devs and those many others here with more nouse than me to look at the above playstore apk and also the official LG implementation and see if it may be possible to implement this efficiently on a non-rooted device.
Whilst I am rambling on, could somebody tell me what would happen if I rooted my stock rom, made a small system adjustment then unrooted my device again? Would my system mod still work and would skygo detect my device as not rooted? The reason that I ask this is I wondered if it was impossible to somehow implement the Korean 'hide nav bars' mod on a rooted stock rom, unroot the device and still have this modification working?
Any thoughts on this (and investigation perhaps ) would be very much appreciated.

Why don't you try something like this ??
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
I use it on some other apps and it works for me, and it looks like your app might be also supported. Check in the XDA thread if it is.
If it works for you, use then G2 Tweaksbox for the NavBar customization.

Thanks but skygo doesn't work with this . The checking procedure that it employs seems to be very thorough and, to my knowledge, nobody has ever cracked this properly to work on a rooted or un-supported device. The same being the case when trying to enable hdmi out with it.
I was hoping that there would be some way of implementing hiding of nav bars on a non-rooted device as the play store app that I mentioned in my previous post proves that this can be implemented to quite a large degree, so I thought, if somebody was to work on this device specifically, they may be able to make it bug free.
You could remove the navbar altogether but then you would have to rely 100% on things such as LMT.
For info, I am now very happy. I have installed Cloudystock Rom then unrooted it with superSU pro. To my great surprise, the Rom still works flawlessly and my sky apps do too.
I wasn't aware this was possible. I am now going to work on stock Rom zip with the hide navigation button feature added.

Wait wait wait...Sky Go works when you just unroot... Even on a custom ROM? I'm on cloudyflex I need to try this. ROM has a hide keys option per app anyway
Do you still have custom recovery??
OK unrooted play store says SkyGo is not compatible with my device. Got a feeling that's related to something in my build.prop can you upload yours please mate from your ROM so I can make some changes to mine to get it working? Thanks.

I've just un-rooted cloudystock with supersSU pro and kept custom recovery and everything else the same and, yes, the sky apps worked fine as did the rom . For me, this is just what I wanted and I was very surprised that it works, including hide nav keys.
Now I want to try to create a completely stock 80220d but with the navbar mod included then unroot it. I have pm'd cloudya about which files from the cloudy stock rom that I require but haven't had a reply yet.
....didn't you create a flashable 80220d zip somewhere? I can't seem to find it. I am not very experienced at this and I guess by your response that you are interested in the same thing and perhaps you will be better at this than me?
EDIT I changed ro.build.target_country from COM to EU for another reason. Perhaps this might help?
I changed fingerprint and a few other bits back to d802 in build.prop, removed root. Now running cloudyflex. Can hide keys per app in options. And can watch sky go. Perfect.

If there anyway to get this feature on Android 7 Touchwiz? I don't want to use a 3rd party launcher and I've tried installing S8 touchwiz Launcher with no luck. I'm not rooted and don't want to be on this device. Is there anyway to get swipe up for app drawer?
Many thanks peeps.
try this version here I had to use this one in order for it install https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/touchwiz-home/touchwiz-home-6-0-77-release/
If that one doesn't install then you're going to have to root and manually install it.

Thanks I will give it a go, i can't root because my banking app will not work on a rooted phone. {Barclays UK).
Nope won't install, message says the package conflicts with another package by the same name.
Thanks anyway...I will keep looking.
Finally got S8 launcher working with bixby swipe screen also so very happy. Thanks for your help .
Man I have read a ton and I am pretty much ready to install my first custom ROM (especially since ZTE seems to be done and thus no more official updates). I have a couple questions though that I was hoping somebody would indulge.
- After installing the latest gapp will I be able to update the apps via the play store properly? I know I had los installed on a tablet back in the day and most of the apps wouldn't update (was never sure if that was my error or by design).
- If there are potential issues that I couldn't live with ... how difficult of a process will it be to return to stock? What traces will there be that I had installed a custom rom at one point in time?
The HTC One M8 was the last phone that I actively maintained custom roms and flashed on a regular basis. I'm a little rusty.
Thank you to whoever takes the time to help me out! Much appreciated!

I've been on 15.1 since release, it's pretty good, still a couple of niggles but mostly good.
Yep GApps update, I installed the Aroma package, I like the pixel launcher and Google dialer etc. All updating fine.
I haven't done this but I believe you download an EDL package and flash that with the EDL tool, should put you straight back to stock.

Thank you for the quick reply!
Yeah using the google dialer and camera app are the ones I am most looking forward to using. I used to use the dialer on my One M8 and I loved it. Have you tried Google Pay? I would assume that as long as I don't root I should be able to use whatever.
I read somebody having trouble with installing Netflix from the play store stating that they got the message that it wasn't compatible with their device. Have you experienced anything like this? I remember running into this from time to time with some past custom roms where the device ID wouldn't show up properly and caused some perceived incompatibility. Do you know what device the AXON 7 shows up as once it has the custom rom installed on it?
Thanks again!

That's a problem from the past. Use Magisk and you'll be fine.
The phone shows as "ZTE Axon 7" and the model will be changed to A2017U. Don't worry, but remember that your phone is still whatever model it was, i.e. keep using whatever modem corresponds
If Netflix doesn't appear just download the apk from somewhere else, but it should appear anyways if you install Magisk and it passes safetynet (after you do, just hit the "check safetynet" button
