Thank you I did those 2 and no problems thus far any more suggestions would be nice from anyone thank you I just don't want to have to pay cricket to reflash this thing

U can remove all sprint apps if u use a 3rd party launcher u can remove Rosie and all the sense Widgets u can also remove a long list of the other apks like calculator and stuff if u have 3rd party apps or just don't need em. Since u are rooted you should get titanium backup pro u can then backup all the apks u wanna delete then u can restore them if u ever have a need too
Edit: you can search for the safe to remove apps for sprint evo they are all safe for flashed phones, or you could install a.custom rom like the classic or SOS

Thank you did all the sprint apps how about the Amazon and blockbuster? And I'm a little ifffy on doing roms but if I was to do a rom is that going to revert me back to sprint?

No roms wont revert you back to sprint, Amazon blockbuster are safe in titanium backup app most all apps listed in white are removable somewhere around xda there is a safe apps to remove list if I come across it ill post a link for u otherwise Google "safe apps to remove evo 4g"

lots of noob questions

hello
I want to buy a new phone and I like the nexus 4 a lot but I always ask question before buying so here I go :
1- how to root a nexus 4 on jellybean 4.2.2
2- when I root the phone how can I update to the newest os without loosing the root
3- when I root the phone from where can I get the rooted apps ( from the play store or from xda developers ) and how
4- I heard that the nexus 4 has a throttling problem so how can I fix it ( without opening the phone )
5- what is the best app to hide the softkeys when i'm inside an app
6- is there any tweak to use multiple apps at the same time ( like multiwindow on the gs4 or the note 2 )
7- what are the best rooted apps to begin with
and thank you for your response

1. Rooting is very simple. Just use one of the toolkit, it will guide you step by step.
2. Yes you can there is a free app "OTA RootKeeper". It will backup your root and let you update to the latest update. Once updated go back to the app and restore your root.
3. I don't think its allowed to ask for rooted apps on xda forum.
4. I haven't had an issues with it yet.
5. I am not sure for using stock rooted rom but you can use custom ROM like Paranoid Android which has features like "PIE". It allows you to hide soft keys any time by holding power button; select (Full Screen Pie).

thank you for your reply

Also, in paranoidandroid you can set per app DPI and layout. So you can adjust the settings to use pie in specific apps, then the soft keys for everything else and vise versa.
If you're rooted with TWRP, it will ask you if you want to keep root after flashing stock.

There is an app on play store with which you can hide the soft keys(buy of course you need to be rooted first).

Install a custom rom.

Or, just root the phone, easy to do. I'd also recommend that you put on custom recovery to be safe, as it can get you out of all sorts of trouble rather than having Samsung's lame recovery.
Once you've done that, install titanium backup from the store. Freeze any and all applications you want. Download your preferred applications and you are done.
Sure, you can go the extra step of putting on a third party ROM, but for most people, that's overkill.
Once you have root, a custom recovery and Titanium Backup installed, you might want to do three things:
1. Do a ROM backup from the recovery, after it's saved move to your PC. Keep it there for safekeeping.
2. Set up a backup schedule in Titanium Backup. Back up applications and data to an SD card
3. Install Xposed Framework, and then pick a good multi-porpose module like Wanam, and you can highly customize your phone without putting on a third party ROM.
All of these three things are available and easy to find in XDA. They make your experience more powerful, customizable and safer.

Thx !

Just an fyi, it actually has the stock browser included called Internet. They just changed the home page to their own, you can change it back to whatever you like.

I dont believe it was included on the S5. I was more or less replaced with one handed mode (which can be activated in the settings) and several other actions.

Apps to stop

Hello
Got my S5 yesterday and I am not rooted (yet) and Ive been wondering if is it safe to "disable" samsung apps and other applications that I will never use without disabling OTA UPDATES
like in the attachment.
If someone can provide a list which contains wich ones are safe to disable without removing OTA updates option that would be great.
Thanks

Just disable it and it will ask u install latest version after pressing OK results disabled. Its better way to, just like removing bloatware. I always do like that.

Swipe up for App Drawer....

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.
