[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Most of the list is self-explanitory just by the names:

It falls under:

Stuff you can download outright on market

Non-system apps that are not available on market

StageUI

engineering mode apps

logging apps

the 4 borderline cases

those are:

Calibrator.apk [com.oem.calibrator]

DisplayVersionInfo.apk [com.oem.mode]

PackageChecker.apk [com.oem.packagechecker]

PackageUpdate.apk [com.oem.packageupdate]

Last two are pretty obvious, they're used to ota update, removing it breaks it. Custom roms cant ota update to begin with so it's ok for them. If you're on a stock rom it depends on weither or not you consider being able to ota update important. (updating from recovery mode is something entirely different)

I really dont know what calibrator and displayversioninfo do (besides what their name obviously is), but they're not com.oem.engineeringmode.* so they could be important. But as many roms without them seem to run properly they might not be critical.

I left all 4 in since they dont really take up that much resources (rom wise and ram/cpu wise).

The last com.oem.* app that isnt com.oem.engineeringmode.* is

PreLoadNetworkSettings.apk [com.oem.prenetworksetting]

which is used to load new APNs when switching carriers/sims. If your apn is already properly loaded you COULD remove it, but if you need to auto-load new APNs for whatever reason removing that will break that function

Those 5 apks are every com.oem.* that isnt the mentioned com.oem.engineeringmode.*

Technically you can remove the majority of the apks and the system will still boot, just that every other apk has a defined function and removing it will break that functionality.

ALSO, the list is not and never will be perfect, unless someone on the rom team wants to come forward and document them clearly it's all though trial and error. The borderline cases are the only ones that need any real testing as I know for a fact that the majority of the com.oem.engineeringmode.* apks are never active as dell disabled eng mode in retail roms. You CAN manually activate functionality in them but they're more or less dorment code in the roms.

I just wouldn't remove them and wouldn't recommend someone to do it if I wasn't comfortable to do so in the first place.

Whatever floats your boat..
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
What would float my boat is for you to answer my question. There must be a reason behind you saying what you did or else you would not have said it at all.

What is that reason, or do you even have one?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p51d007:
Freeze

If you are worried about it, just use an app freezer, run it a few days with the apps you want off the phone frozen. Then if no ill effects, remove them.

That's what I did.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I was a bit more daring. I simply deleted them and called it a day. I figure that if I truly had an issue I could just run my backup. At worst, reinstall 360.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] et5843:
Hi everybody

Today I've bought a new wireless router the Asus RT-N56U. I could connect the router to my pc, my wireless windows notebook, my android cell phone, but my Asus Transformer is not able to see my Wifi connection at all. It shows all my neighbours connections but mine is not even listed.

The settings of my router are as follows:

WPA-Auto-Personal, TKIP + AES, SSID, WPA-PSK key

If have no idea, what I have to do now, because on my previous Netgear Router, the Transformer was working just fine.

Is anybody out there and willing to help me?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wooe:
Wich channel is it set to?

Not sure if you are located in US or not, but if you aren't, make sure it isn't set to channels 12/13, as the Transformer seems to have issues with those even not US versions.

I bought my Transformer and Asus RT-N56U at the same time, was mighty confused when my Asus tablet wouldn't work on my Asus router whilst my HTC phone did. Seems some friendly soul at Asus thought having it use 13 by default was a considerate thing to do :p

The moment I switched it to a 'US allowed' channel it worked, and has since.

Not sure if you have the same issue, but that router shouldn't have any issues with the Transformer besides that, at least that I'm aware of.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d1001541:

My problem is solved! First of all I had to replace my brand new Asus router (something was wrong with that one) and now with the other new one I had to change my channel to no. 8! Now it works just fine!!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paulc426:
After I flashed the new rom I used titanium backup to restore my stuff like usual...however this time after I restore all my apps and system data the phone acted very unstable! I reflashed and now I am wondering if anyone knows what the file name is for my contacts and Sms messages? I really would like to get my contacts back up. Thanks for all the help!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamcooks:
Use google for your contacts, then a soon as you log into your gmail account it will sync them.

SMS may not be recoverable if you change Android versions (2.1 -> 2.2, 2.2 -> 2.2.1, etc)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fear676:
Your sms's are gone unless you used an app called sms back up!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaintfm:
A good rule of thumb is to restore system data. Keep your contacts backed up with Google or on your SIM card and simply redo the rest once the new ROM has settled (10 minutes and a couple reboots).

There's a simple reason for this: If the author of your new ROM tweaked one of the system files that you're restoring, restoring from a backup could destabilize your ROM, or worse, send you into boot-loops.

3rd party apps (Angry Birds and the like) are usually safe, while System apps (SMS, Launcher settings) are unsafe often enough to want to avoid restoring them.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
One other thing, you did not say which rom you changed to. If it was MIUI, then titanium does not fully work. You will have to restore one at a time on the non-system apps per the above post.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N_B:
Here's what I'd do:

1. Restore the NANDROID you made before flashing the new rom

(or in case you didn't)

1. Flash the ROM you were previously on, and restore your titanium backup'd stuff

Next

2. Enable "sync contacts" with google (as suggested above)

3. If your Sms messages are restored, back them up as suggested above

Then

4. Flash your new rom

5. Enable "sync contacts" with google to get your contacts

6. Use the Sms restorer thingy mentioned above

hello bv_abhi, and sorry for making you wait...

here is what exactly you need to do:

1. Reflash you Xoom with the original android 3.0 which is available at Motorola developer zone from here: (developer[dot]motorola[dot]com/products/software/)

2. Now search for the correct ROM for you Xoom. which should be located under "MZ601 - XOOM WITH WI-FI + UMTS" and the then download Build H.6.1-38-9 for Retail Other International and flash it (rad the INSTRUCTIONS carefully)

Note : The issue won't be fixed yet.

3. After flashing back to 3.0, now updated your XOOM to 3.1 via ota.

Note: The device should automatically fixed itself by now ;)

4. You are now good to go :rolleyes: so update to 3.2 & Enjoy :D

Hi all!

When I installed the Cyanogenmod 7.1 on my SGS2 yesterday (YAY!!!!) I had, at some point, removed the numbers on the top row of my keyboard. I don't remember playing with any settings, it seemed to come stock with the mod. I had to reinstall a few times and wipe clean everything and now that my phone is fully functionnal under Cyanogen, I'm unable to redo that.

So, does anyone know how to change the keyboard settings so that when I hold the E letter, the first thing that pops up is not a friggin 3?

So far I tried changing the keyboard input langage to French (Canada) and the interface langage as well to French (Canada) but to no avail :(

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoopahMan:
When I temp-root my Shift, I go in and delete apps like nascar and sfl (NFL app), wait a bit, and they come back. I'd like them permanently gone to save space and CPU.

1) How do I delete them for good until reboot?

2) How do I delete them for good even after I reboot?

I guess my technical question is, there must be a script somewhere that's restoring these nuisance apps - where do I find it?

Links to people who have already asked this/existing solutions welcome. Sprint MIGHT release one more patch to this phone, so I'd ideally like to avoid going so far down the custom ROM route that I can't take advantage of that update - but it's not a must.

Hey guys. I've been scouring XDA for a while now, but this is my first post, so go easy on me. :)

A couple of days ago I flashed my Epic 4g to EH17 Hurricane ROM v1.6 (loving it!) per the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1244212&highlight=modem

I also switched to QQLauncher Pro, but I doubt that has anything to do with my problem.

All is working great and I'm loving the rom, except... I can't connect via 4G.

I turn it on and observe the status go from "connecting" to "obtaining IP" to "disconnected". I've even seen it stay connected, but my IP and gateway remain "0.0.0.0". No matter the status, not a single page loads and not a single app connects.

If I turn on wifi or turn off 4g and let it switch to 3g, everything connects/loads just fine.

I also flashed the modem to EH17 per info found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123103

But that didn't help anything - same problem persists.

I believe it's this particular rom, because I tried another (SyndicateROM Frozen) and 4g was working perfectly then. But then flashed back to Hurricane, and no 4g. :(

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:

Also, I'm sorry for my ignorance, but what the heck is a journal? Is it necessary?

Thanks again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
That's not the one but you can try it. That is an update.zip which works through recovery. Look for the one that has ODIN in the title thread. Journaling in simple terms is some error protection. It causes the phone to write twice to the system. So if your phone crashes, battery is pulled without waiting for it to be off, or dropped, Data gets corrupted. With journaling on it compares the 2 writes and uses the good one. Not fool proof but stops lots of erros. Something happened to your WiMax files to cause your 4G loss.
