He does not like the pages in the app drawer and wishes to know if it is hard/possible to remove parts of a rom such as the app drawer. My suggestion is that he looks at one of the alternate launchers like launcher pro. It doesn't seem that hard but it also seems like to remove things like the rosie will cause fc and boot loops.

[General Questions and Answers] inaroundroom:
I'm currently using Droidwall to block most apps from using the internet when I'm not on WIFI.

Whilst this works quite well I was wondering if there were any firewalls with a more granular approach:

Blocking ports (deny all except port 80)

Throttling of bandwidth (1kB/sec)

Scheduled blocking (only allow work email during 9-5)

Thanks in advance.

i want to buy 16gb micro sd card... any recommendation? or should i just get the 32gb since my theory is 32gb take time to load then it leads to the phone slow down...

any ideas will be nice :D

nahh, its all up to you. i still have the stock class 2, 8gb one cos i'm not big on the sd card, but I would prefer a class 10, 16gb one.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rizdog23:
I was informed that the phone could be overclocked to 800 instead of just 768 with a new kernel. Well i found an uncapped that reaches 844mhz. I am wondering has anyone tried this, and if so did it work? Another question I have is, since this kernel is high powered, if i flashed it but only overclocked to a reg speed like 710 would this run better than sobe .35 kernel oc'd at 710?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Yes, it will work. No, it isn't worth the extra battery drain for the marginal, if any, performance gains.

My Hero couldn't run 844 without some issues, I could run 829 with no problems.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rizdog23:
If I have a 3500mah extended battery, would it be worth the performance gains? Because i still have my cover and battery from the 1530mah that came with the phone, so i figured since the 3500 takes a while to charge, i could use it untill it is at like 15% then while it charges, pop in the 1530 battery and underclock to about 633 until the 3500 is charged
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch1naski:
That battery won't last long, due to the overheating that overclocking that high will cause. My phone will run over 800, but I saw no improvement in performance, frankly I thought it was at it's performance peak at 710.

[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
This list is still being updated. If any of you have tested and tried some not listed, please post back results or PM me so I can add them along with your name to the proper category.

Currently Testing:

"com.htc.lmw"

"com.htc.htcsprintservice"

"com.htc.dmc"

"com.htc.resetnotify"

Not Safe/System:

"com.htc.settings.accountsync" Account Sync.

"com.htc.sdm" Sound Set. Without it menus will crash when you try to pick a sound. Verified by ffolkes

"com.htc.opensense" Open Sense Plugin Manager. Without it Gallery is just empty. Normally I'd use QuickPic, but right now only Gallery supports 3d viewing. Verified by ffolkes

"com.htc.OnlineAssetDetails" Without it there was no cell radio, and a reboot in a few seconds. Verified by ffolkes

"com.htc.android.htcime" HTC Input Method. Might disable the entire touchscreen. Verified by ffolkes

"com.htc.android.psclient" I think this is the popup for charge/mount/etc. I use dual mount widget, so I don't need it, but I know others might want it. Verified by ffolkes

Not Tested:

Should be safe:

"com.adobe.reader" Adobe PDF Reader

"com.htc.skin.BlueSky" HTC Sense Skin

Verified Safe:

"com.android.bluetooth" Bluetooth support. Verified by Death-M0nk

"com.broadcom.bt.app.system" Bluetooth support. Verified by Death-M0nk

"com.htc.reportagent" Not sure. Verified by Death-M0nk

"com.htc.fusion.FusionApk"

"com.htc.idlescreen.base" I assume this is the base lockscreen without any other customizations (social network, weather, photo, etc). So if you use any other lockscreens from HTC then you can safely disable this.

"com.htc.android.image_wallpaper" If you don't use Rosie (HTC Launcher) then you don't need this, as HTC's wallpapers are unavailable on other launchers.

"com.htc.htctwitter" Twitter/Peep

"com.android.magicsmoke" Magic Smoke Live Wallpaper

"com.htc.idlescreen.shortcut" Not sure, but i've disabled this with weather lockscreen enabled and it works fine.

"com.htc.android.wallpaper"

HTC Weather(Safe): These are safe to remove if you aren't using any services for HTC Weather, such as weather clock, weather app, weather live wallpaper, or weather lockscreen.

"com.htc.Weather"

"com.htc.weather.agent"

"com.htc.android.WeatherLiveWallpaper"

"com.htc.provider.weather"

"com.htc.sync.provider.weather"

Great post.....I love deleting apps!!! Will happily add to this list as I find more that can be deleted.....Yeah I prefer deleting to simply freezing. Hell they come back anyways so I might as well just pack them in the adb batch file LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
As do I, but the beauty with this method is, they stay disabled even on reboot. So, having to delete every reboot is no longer needed. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] polo79:
So if we are keeping rosie can we disable some of the htc widgets safely?
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Yes, you most certainly can. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Death-M0nk:
This list is coming along nicely, I'd also like to add that RVDigital in his FAQ/Summary thread has a nice little script that disables/enables some of the bloat. It's very easy to customize.
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
There's nothing wrong with RVDigital's list, different people will want different apps depending on how they use their phone. But just to give a comparison, his list, which represents mostly just Sprint bloat and some widgets, consists of 32 apks. Between freeza's list and mine, a total of roughly 120 apks are removed. Wow. My E3D feels lighter in my pocket already! :P

Again, I hope I don't come off like I'm trying to one-up RVDigital, I just wanted to mention numbers so people can get an idea of how much crap is forced upon us with Sense.
[HTC EVO 3D] Death-M0nk:
Yeah, I ended up adding a lot to his list, I just like the premade auto script. I'd have no idea on how to create that, lol. Just made it convenient.

Also I liked the idea of an undo script

What all services are associated with the lockscreen?

[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
I also noticed the phone does seem a little bit more snappy now that a lot of the useless system apps are gone.

Disable the htc weather sync

pm disable com.htc.weather.agent
pm disable com.htc.Weather
pm disable com.htc.provider.weather
pm disable com.htc.sync.provider.weather

I think thats all the HTC weather processes that need to be disabled. I found them watching the logcat.

Some other good ones for us nonsense users I noticed that like to run in the background(mainly stuff I wont use):

pm disable com.htc.skinpicker
pm disable com.htc.socialnetwork.flickr
pm disable com.htc.dockmode

MOD EDIT: Was moved by mistake, now back to development where it belongs - would appreciate if you would PM next time if you notice something like this.
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
Yeah, I was just updating my reply. It seems, for reasons beyond me, that the ONLY apk you *need* for the lockscreen is com.htc.idlescreen.shortcut. The others must have some role in it, but nonetheless, without that particular package, the lockscreen won't even come up. I tried all different combinations, but ultimately it was only that file that mattered.
[HTC EVO 3D] BRUTAL BROCK:
Those were it, thank you.

A question I have for anyone who has frozen Rosie launcher, is there anyway to change the lock screen other than through rosie? I'm liking AdwEx and don't care so much for the htc widgets but every time I want to change my lockscreen I have to unfreeze rosie to get into the personalization menu.

If anyone has gone to Notification Bar -> Quick Settings -> Total Memory and gotten a .statusbar crash, you can prevent this by enabling com.htc.taskmanager

Even though I don't use HTC's task manager, I recommend enabling this. Why? Because if you accidentally click that, you'll crash your notification bar until you reboot. Which also means you'll lose root until you can get back to a computer.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
gotta update the list tonight. you're figuring out a bunch of stuff! :D

I disabled taskmanager from Autostarts, but not disabled entirely. All the stuff I'm not sure about disabling, I usually prevent from running with Autostarts. Pretty nice compromise.

/system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk is the culprit

Meanwhile I found out that /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk makes the trouble. It prevents the HTC Sense launcher from loading when there is no lockscreen package enabled. BTW, using ADB I was able to rescue my system by executing "pm enable com.htc.clock3dwidget".

Unfortunately, disabling com.htc.lockscreen has no effect, but after renaming or removing /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk, the Android default lock slider appears instead of the HTC lockscreen, and none of the HTC lockscreen packages is needed any more.
