Hi,
So I just successfully installed JP9 firmware and I have Froyo running perfectly on my Galaxy 3, but there are several Orange apps pre-installed which I want to get rid of + the ugly TouchWiz UI.
So first I'd like to know how to root G3 and then get rid of these two things.
Many thanks for your help.
try titanium backup... it can remove any system file..
Absolute system root is what I used for the exact same thing. To bad you'll have to "pay" for it.
You could also try doing it via adb but for some reason that rom didn't have read\write capability.
Oh and whatever software you use, don't delete oranges home screen selector. For some reason the rom wouldn't launch for me after that.
Oh2 and be sure to have alternative launcher installed before removing any launchers..

Orange ROM is restricted to the user and applications. My suggestion is to upgrade to a much faster ROM of Froyo, that is precooked. This will remove your Orange branding on the phone (i.e. debrand it) and will mean you can remove any unnecessary applications still on the phne). In it's current state, because it's Orange's Firmware, there's not a lot you can do to it.
I'm Orange branded, used z4root, and Super Manager to remove the Orange crap all apart from homescreen selector. I removed Layar and Thinkfree Office too as never used. Left TW on just in case want in the future so don't know if that would break it but the rest is now gone for good and I have 20mb more phone storage
id suggest keeping touchwiz as a backup launcher expecially if you are using a third party launcher
you can get rid of touchwiz by installing launchers like laucher,adw,golauncher etc .

When i got my phone i immediately installed Kyrillos 5.7 so I have no idea how TouchWiz works. Is it that much worse than other launchers that everyone wants it gone?

Hi all,
because of some issues i changed my Stock to CM10.2. But i figured out that i liked some of the Stock ROm apps.
Is there already a app pack available with the Stock apps, or a how to install them propper?
Of cours i can put out the apps from the Stock nandroid backup. But i tried to install the LG Cam app which did not work for me.
What i am looking for is:
Cam App
Mail client
some of the LG own network apps (Wireless drive or what it was called...)
Thanks for ideas and tips.
Hi All,
I use a banking app called easybanking from BNP fortis in Belgium. It works on Touchwiz based roms (Omega, Echo etc...) and CM 11 but I can't get it to work on Danvdh GE rom, which is unfortunately is my favorite.
What happens is the touch screen buttons are disabled, this happens both when I do a new install or from the TB backup from a work rom, the app launches but I can't interact with it. The support team for the bank simply says they don't support rooted phones, but since TW and CM roms work, I figure there must be something specific to the GE rom, Anyone have any ideas, similar issues?
I've tried Hide my root, rootcloak (plus) but no luck.
I'd ask in the rom specific forum, but I don't have access to post
Any ideas would be welcome
Thanks
Scott
Having problems with my knock sensor. Using an aosp based ROM and cannot activate my phone using the knock sensor. Now I have read that using the code3845#*801# (T-Mobile phone) will let me update the firmware for the sensor. My problem with the code is that (according to other sources) I need to have the stock dialer to access the menu with that code. So is there anyone who can give me an idea of how to work around this one?
Just reread that and man is it vage. When I try the code on my dialer I get a mmi error. I have tried looking for the stock dialing app. I cannot find it, maybe its so embedded in the ROM it can't be pulled? Idk. I just want to try to get my knock sensor working using slimkat aosp ROM. I've looked thru their forum and there's not much activity there for the lg g2.
Further research tells me the stock dialer is just an apk. Is there anyone who can give me a link to the stock dialer? Could i anyone grab a copy from their stock ROM and p.m. me a copy? Not sure if I will need the .odex file but I'm looking.
I am running a custom rom dn4 on note 2...all the vr apps work but when I try to use YouTube and street view the card board icon is a no show.. Any ideas.. I'm updated on all fronts but no dice.
Have you actually tried that on stock rom, if yes then it's probably roms problem, because sometimes rom devs change the youtube support or something like that.
So you have two choices:
Get back to stock rom
Try another rom
The choice is yours:laugh:
Same here.:crying:
