Create a folder in your SD card for these .apk backups. Example: I have a folder in my SD card called "Backups".

What you do now is go to /system/app. You should see all your .apk files there. For anything you want to remove, just check it off and delete it. If you want to back it up, copy it and paste it to your backup folder. When you want that app again, just copy and paste it back into /system/app. Reboot if necessary.

Be sure that you have root function enabled. You do that by hitting Menu > Setup > Enable ROOT function. Obviously, this whole process (except for creating a folder in your SD card) requires root.

Also, going into /system should ask you if you want to go into R/W mode (read/write mode). You need to enable that if you want to delete anything. If it doesn't ask you, you can always hit Menu > Switch System R/W. That should do the trick.

If you actually read through my long post, then here's another solution. Use Titanium Backup and select your apps to backup, remove, and/or restore.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
if you flashed a rom with cwm, then your apks are backed up anyway. this backup is in the form to the zip file. open it up, go to system/app and all of it will be there. i usually experiment with adding and removing things and when i find out what works, i make sure the changes are reflected in the zip file. this way, when i flash the rom, everything i did is already there. i do this with tweaks, apps, cwm, etc.

i always encounter problems when i backup things with tb, so if you also experience problems, cwm is an easy alternative, as well as bkoons method above. just wanted to point out you can edit the rom before you even flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rzepplin:
Thanks jager555, that worked and when I went back to super manager the new file I created for bloat appeared.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lusuhard:
my dear friends, I started the removal process with the system apks just to remove some internal memory and install my favourite apks, live kingsoftoffice, instead of quickoffice. everything went fine, apks disappeared from the phone and from ./system/app... BUT the internal memory hasn't in any way been affected... WHY?

as topic,

Anyone know if there is any delay like usual from rogers since rogers enjoy playing with the update before the users?

I have checked, no update today at least.
[XPERIA X10 General] nekkidtruth:
Rogers is not updating. I read somewhere that they had no plans to update the x10 to 2.3.3.

why not ask in the actual gingerbread thread??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jit_devil2:
well people seem to be reporting mkv playback works fine on xxkpe gingerbread but for me it doesnot work.the native player plays mp4 fine but no avi/mkv support tried more than 10 files.

people who have flashed the xxkpe firmware can you please report if it works for you.thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] falex007:
mkv is just a container (like avi). Inside mkv there can be several streams (video and audio). These streams can be encoded with different codecs (DivX, H264 and so on). Stock player now knows mkv container, but if it doesn't know codec of the stream inside it can't play this stream (video or audio, or both). That's all
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vivekkalady:
I have Used AVI files in my froyo(720p) but when i Updated to gingerbread(XXKP9) the files were not working.But Now ihave again upgraded to the new firmware XXKPE its working again
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jit_devil2:
AVI'S don't work for me either.can you please try theis file and see whether they work or not.some people say this is playing with their stock players.but am not able to play it.thanks in advance

dude have u factory reset ur phone.try it like this.factory reset> flash GB > factory reset> flash gb > factory rest and then see what happens.might sound illogical.bt diff kind of prb encountered by ppl were resolved by this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ronhoover88:
The mkv attached doesn't play on stock player...but plays on mobo and lags like mad
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jit_devil2:
same here

you are on gb right? (askin cuz your sig)

does any other mkv file play for you on stock?

if yes can you plz be kind enough to upload a sample of it.

@ rdr_m

yes i have reset twice.did you download the video in the fourth post and try it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rdr_m:
use dice player.it has harware acceleration so can play mkv without lag.no i havnt been able to upgrade to gb as of yet due to my exams.use dice player and report bak.i would post the link here.bt its a paid app so..

bt its really very weird and kinda freakin me out that sum ppl are able to play 720p mkv in stock player while others are not.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] manrock111:
I have uploaded this file and this file lag on my phone alot but rest mkv's running smoothly which was not at time of froyo. wait I will upload one good sample video.

update: download this test file it was not playanle on froyo but now no tension

http://www.multiupload.com/L0S2J27XJV
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jit_devil2:
dude on froyo mp4 was playable.........never had a problem

you claimed mkv was playable.do you have any videos named abcd.mkv which plays on your mobile's stock player?

.mkv not .mp4
[Galaxy S I9000 General] manrock111:
Buddy means lag free? OK try above file on froyo then you will see difference.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jit_devil2:
is your house series files riddlera rips?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Misledz:
Kraiton and ILPruny rip actually :P But they're pretty amazing and x264
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jit_devil2:
ok so proper 720p mkvs lag big time but dice player can play mkvs pretty well which are of lower resolutions.mp4s play fine even 720p(in stock player aswell)

funny thing is my stock players seem to recognize riddlera's x264 mkv house rip(gives a thumbnail for the video) but even starts playing it for 3-4 seconds but then stops and gives a msg "this video cannot be played" but the same video plays like butter on diceplayer.

makes me think that its all about encoding issues.

can you check whether the video on the 4th post of this topic plays on your stock player plz.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rdr_m:
so you mean in xxkpe even dice player with the hardware acceleration and all cant play 720p mkv???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jit_devil2:
1280x720 resolution mkv's still lag even with hw accl in dice player....................still checking.most of my 720p videos have dd/dts audio track maybe that is the problem.

ok stock player plays hd mkv really nicely as long as the audio track doesnot have dolby digital or dts encoding.still testing :)

I would sooo use that but I'm too cheap(internet broke) to buy that. I've always been plagued with having to choose a rom. I end up sticking with one for a while. Like just today I went to MIUI after a month of Synergy.

EDIT: I might be getting this app soon
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordAlexx:
Sounds like the devs on the app are committed to helping their customers iron out the kinks. When I get my evo back from being flashed I am going to install it and post back to this thread. Thanks for the heads up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KommodoreHeinz:
Just installed decks and the express roms.

Booted in to decks, set it up, no issues. The first boot seems to take a while.

Now switching to express.

UPDATE 1 -

After switching to the express rom, I was not really able to use the rom. I decided you pull up the application to switch back to the phone rom.

The application kept force closing. It did this on the phone rom and decks.

I then followed the instructions to flash the update.zip file to get back to the original rom. Now Im stuck on the bootloader screen. When the phone reboots it comes right back to the bootloader.

UPDATE 2 -

Wiped the cache, delvik and rebooted same issue.

Reflashed the phone rom - same issue.

Wiped the cache, delvik, reflashed the phone rom, rebooted - same issue

Wiped the cache, delvik, flashed decks from rom1, rebooted - BACK IN BUSINESS.

It seems that the initial phone rom is corrupt.

UPDATE 3 -

Trying to get back to the original rom from decks.

Went back to BootManager, selected phonerom from the list of installed roms - same issue as before. :mad:

Followed the same steps as in update 2 and Im back in decks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eazy1818:
I hope to get a chance to email the developers. Takes hours for it to "load" a rom. Then when I try to run it, I get an error saying that the rom is not there. Very annoying. Nothing has worked on it yet. Waste of money thus far.

I tried it for about 10 mins could not get it to work just FC's so hit refund.

Not so sure if its the ROM im running but was not happy with it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KommodoreHeinz:
Sorry for the delay. After several emails to and from the developer, I flashed CWM recovery :shutters:. I tired to manually restore just the boot.img of the phone rom and still no luck. I then tried using adb to manually insert the boot.img into the nand as the developer instructed. This still did not work. I uninstalled and politely asked for a refund that was granted.

Its a great idea, just needs more work on the original backup of the phonerom, apparently this is a known issue. I lost everything (my fault I know, but i was excited) but I did like decks so much that I flashed it as my daily rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncadden:
I e-mailed their support staff on Saturday evening & got a response on Sunday, which impressed me, so I thought I'd share with you guys what they said.

When trying to install a Synergy Rom, I got the message asking whether this ROM was sd-ext2 or sd-ext4, & never could get them to install (which I'd assume is b/c they all run using ext3), so I shot over an e-mail asking if they had any advice, & here was their response.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eazy1818:
That being said, which ROM's are supposed to work then? I wish I would have gotten a reply to my email. I still haven't heard anything back from them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cool Cake:
I have dta2sd and not about to spend time to undo that for this app. However I hold out hope that they will support a2sd in the future (since i bought it... LOL). And I think that they should state that fact up front in the app description.

On the other hand I'd pay/support somebody $3 to develop this kind of app. There are so many cool ROMS out there that I'd love to try out.

Right now I am running MIUI latest and love it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eazy1818:
I have no problem paying for apps. I only ask for the simple things like the app working properly. I have yet to recieve an email from the developer. I hope that they see this thread. Actually, I may send this link to them. I read somewhere that one of the developers is on XDA.

I just want a working app, or a refund. I don't think that is to much to ask.

*edit

Here is the auto-response I just got.

I bought this app...

I bought boot manager two days after release and I have had no real problems yet, I flash a new test ROM almost every day. At first I had some "user errors" and twice on the first day I had to flash the phoneROMs update.zip b/c I forgot that CM needed a flash of google apps... and the app CANT run without authentication from the market... ("Herp DERP")

other than that, I've seen some ROMs run slow. but I figured that was b/c they where sense based and running from the sdcard.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] locoboi187:

got a kernel to install.

1. open bootmanager

2. Install .zip

3. Find and select the kernel from your sd card

4. add it to "flash kernel"

5. it will give you the option of which ROM you want to install it on

6. select the ROM and it will do its thing.

piece of cake.

so far on SalvageMod 1.4 in slot 1, I've flashed the ROM, Gapps, a kernel, new font and vipermods script without any problems.:D

I use Bootmanager, and have Synergy RLS1 as my phone rom. I run CM7, MIUI, and DID have the Bliss port until recently. My CM7 and MIUI were working fine.

Works fine for me, otherwise.

Just having a look in the market there and seeing some paid apps that have been downloaded thousands upon thousands of times, the person and/or persons who designed an app(s) that costs money and has been downloaded say 500,000+ times must be a multi millionaire at this stage, in fact the apps market whether it be Android or that other lot is a goldmine for many people if their app is successful,if an app costs say €5 what are the overheads,is there a small fee to be paid to Android for listing the app or how does it work?

I remember last year on XDA a beta was released for Power Amp, i downloaded it and thought "this is a brilliant app, the best music player the best ive used" people urged the guy who designed it to put it on the market,he did and now it has sold bucketloads,so this guy has obviously made a packet from releasing a beta on XDA to a global audience in the market,nice one,im just gutted i never thought of this a few years ago,no recession on with these guys who have made mega money from apps alone.:cool:

People that put out "free apps" make money with the ads that run in their apps. Atleast I think thats how it works... LOL... :)
[Galaxy S II General] kwerdenker:
Ads, Ads and Ads. These 'free' apps are loaded with advertising and the maker of said apps gets paid a small amount of money everytime an ad is displayed while the user runs the app. So instead of being paid just once they get a constant revenuestream. Albeit it only works if your customer are actually using the app which doesn't seem to be a problem for the Angry Bird guys ^^. (They are also getting money by selling their games on iOS btw.)
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
I never take any notice of the ads anyway, in fact i have the ad blocker app on my GS2 but it doesn't always work but i never even look at the ads.

F**k me first you had the .com millionaire now you have the "apps" millionaires, why did i mis out on both of these:o;)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tynty:
I am trying to get CM7 to boot on my NC with an sd card, using these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957

I get as far as this part

"shutdown your nook and take the SD card out, insert it into your computer.

Copy the gapps-... file to the SD card on the first partition (titled boot) without changing the file name".

When I take the card out of my NC and put it back in my laptop to install market and gapps, it says it needs to be formatted before I can use it. The files that were on it before (the installer image and the nightly build) seem to have been deleted from the card by my nook. Any suggestions?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Remove then reinsert a few more times, if still persists, try to use a usb-sd adapter.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
Just to confirm, when you inserted the card with the nightly build into the NC and powered on, you did see messages saying it was installing CM7, correct?

Were you then able to boot into CM7 and set up Wi-Fi before removing the card to copy over gapps?

If the above are not the case, it's very likely your laptop never properly wrote the image to the card in the first place. Even if you did everything right, many people report difficulty with the all-in-1 card readers on their laptops, and need a separate USB reader.

Some things you may not have done right:

Did you unzip the compressed .gz archive of the disk image?

Did you write the resulting .img file to the SD card using a program such as WinImage?

I'm assuming you're using a Windows machine. If not, let us know what OS you're using and what steps you took to write the image, and what results you got when inserting the card in the NC.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tynty:
Thank you for your replies, but I figured it out. My laptop wasn't recognizing my sd card after I took it out of my nook, but when I put the card in my droid, it saw that the files were there. I added the apps file using my phone and when I went to install them on the nook it worked. Took me five hours to figure this all out but I finally got it. Thanks again. :D
