My parents have Androids, but on Verizon (Droid Bionic's). I thought it was weird, but this is the same thing I was seeing as well. Connects for a second or two, then disocnnects and says there's a problem with the network. If they contact me, it works perfectly fine.

just finished rooting my phone.

I do not know how to delete bloatware or other things i don't really need.

do i need to download an app or something to do this?

also, what other apps should i download now that i am rooted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Smoghog:
Download Root Explorer. It's a file manager that will allow you access to the system files/structure. It will also allow you to delete any system apps that you don't want (they're under system/app).

But first, get Titanium Backup so you can backup your phone, apps, data and settings. You can also remove the system apps with TiBu, I just recommend having Root Explorer regardless.

And be careful about what you remove. Some apps are necessary for system functionality. I'd suggest looking at the info for one of the third-party roms like Cognition and follow the list of apps they removed in their roms to get a good idea of what you're safe to delete.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
I'd also like to recommend Titanium Backup as well. I'd also advise getting the Pro version and Freezing anything you're not 100% certain you can safely delete. Either way, do a full backup of all apps first before you remove them as you never know what you might want/need down the road.

systemappremover is also a viable option

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Teranox:
Hi

I'm using the Infused rom with infusion Kernel

Since I flashed the Rom i don't have any boot anim...

After a long samsung logo the launcher appear.

I already tried to reflash, do factory, but nothing help.

I also tried a boot anim changer app and even when it said its applied, there is still no boot anim....

Any ideas guys?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Go in root explorer and go to system/media/scroll down and check to see if there is a boot animation.zip in there

Sent from my B.A. Infuse 4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Teranox:
Root exploret crash everytime i open it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
The only time Root Explorer crashes on me, it's because I don't have root permission. Assuming you are rooted, can try three things:

1) Go into the Superuser App and find root explorer if its there and choose to forget it.

2) If that doesn't work reboot.

3) If THAT doesn't work try a different file explorer.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Teranox:
I have root and root explorer display that it got root permission a second before.it.crashed.

I've used an.other program and i can.confirm there is.the bootanimation.zip in the folder....even tried to change it for an.other on (ice cream sandwish boot).

I rebooted about 5 time and still no boot animation....

Could the os have problem reading a zip file???
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Teranox:
I was thinking about something.

Could I get no bootanimation because my phone is fast to boot?

one it's powered on, it take about 15-20 seconds before i get to the OS....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Jeez that's a head scratcher...what about permissions? Mine are all checked but Others/Write. That's really weird a factory reflash didn't work..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
In Android Terminal Emulator, assuming you've already remounted /system read/write, try:

chmod 644 /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Other possibilities:

Some versions of the bootanimation binary only support PNG bootanimations, not JPEGs like the ICS bootanimation.

Some insist on it being /system/media/sanim.zip
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EXPERIMENT:
Entropy512's answer is good. Listen to him.

Don't be afraid

eXpeR¡MeNt
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Teranox:
What do you mean by remounted /system read/write ?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Teranox:
When I Just enter the code it say: Unable to chmod '...' Read-only file system
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
So you are fast booting your phone?

And he's talking about the r/w, r/o option in root explorer so you can edit permissions,move files etc. Also, you can download an Android Terminal Emulator in the market.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Teranox:
Maybe my phone is fast booting by itself because I did nothing to help it boot as fast as this. since I Flashed the ROM the boot is blazing fast.

I did Mounted as RW with an app called Remount. It do the Root remount and it seems to work (for mounting) BUT! Still no boot anim.

I began to think that it's not that bad as I don't really reboot 5 time a day to enjoy a psychedelic screen lolll.

but still....it's more the Why than the How in this case
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EXPERIMENT:
^^ this means that Entropy's instructions are assuming that you remounted system as read/write so that you can edit replace the bootanimation.zip. In Root Explorer once you navigate to system/media then in the top left it will say "mounted as r/o" next to that is a button that says "mount r/w" click that and it should "remount" your system as read/write.

At this point you should be able to replace the old with the new bootanimation.zip.

Reboot, and you're done.

If it still hangs and shows NO animation then my guess is you are using an incompatible bootanimation (that does happen, and will just stay black then your phone will just start, with no animation) try a different one, like the one below I know for sure works on the Infuse

Don't be afraid,

Edit: Sorry it took me a long time to write all that on my Infuse, while i'm watching a movie also. Now that I posted I see others have informed you of the r/w stuff, but 2nd half is most likely your case.

[HTC EVO 3D] thisisboo:
didn't see this posted so I thought I would share this. I just got an email from ballistic saying 50% off the hc case for evo 3d with coupon code GONEBATTY13

they state you will not receive the case until the end of November though. It must be prepaid also
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Yup I also just saw my email from them and was gonna start a thread. GONEBATTY13 is the code in my email as well. You're card will be charged immediately, but the case will not ship till the end of November. That's the crappy part about it. So its a 50% off pre-order sale..... Nice to know they are actually releasing the HC series case still, but I doubt I'll buy one this late in the game....

I'm just tired of waiting months on Ballistic to finally release their HC series case. It was the same with the Evo 4G, and now the 3D. I'm sticking with Otterbox!! They always have the Defender ready to install on launch day. Maybe Ballistic will learn they need to do the same to be competitive. Until they do, Otterbox will continue to get my money.
[HTC EVO 3D] sub_evil:
Thanks, I had an HC for my EVO 4G and loved it. I've been using an Otterbox on my 3D without any issues, but I've always like the looks of the Ballistic HC cases more. And in my opinion they offer just about the same amount of protection as the Otterbox.
[HTC EVO 3D] firemedic1343:
Too late. I would have bought Ballistic HC before anything else, I loved it for my Evo 4G. Oh well, maybe next time Ballistic. I really do love your product, but I hate your timing.
[HTC EVO 3D] Akasa Fox:
Just confirmed my order, 33 dollars with shipping inside of the United States. I've needed a case for my phone because i'm always scared of dropping it (Thank GOD my fingers have become less buttery than with my 8330.)

This is a better deal than the SG case.

(But really Ballistic case has saved my friends Samsung Infuse 4G; he dropped it from 7 feet up and ran over it with his bike...)
[HTC EVO 3D] thisisboo:
good to know the code works I'm trying to decide to get this since I got a $5 tpu case or w/e and havent dropped my phone to test it (don't really want to test it though)
[HTC EVO 3D] celthunder:
Just saw the email that sucks if it had come out a month ago OK still very late this month aweful but end of November that's just ridiculous
[HTC EVO 3D] firemedic1343:
No comparison between this and TPU. TPU offers very little protection. This Ballistic HC is the maximum protection that I know of.
[HTC EVO 3D] shoffman00:
The only problem I have with the HC case compared to the otterbox is the lack of port covers. I just feel as though it leaves them exposed to dust and other possible damage.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micromania:
I live in northern nj, hoboken area. Very close to NYC. I get exceptional 4g coverage everywhere, all bars.

However, the past 3 or so months, whenever i lose service when i'm in an elevator or something similar, i dont get service back when i get out.

No data service at all, not even 1x or 3g. It never comes back unless I reboot the phone completely, then its back to 4g LTE. I even tried to turn airplane mode on and then off, hoping that would trigger the 4g connection to start again.

I was running stock (no root either) when this occurred. Last week I rooted my phone and updated the radio files. Also installed the synergy rom. Same issues still.

Anyone have any idea what I should do? Is it the phone? Should i try other radio files?

Any help troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Thank you.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrocker23:
Sounds like it could be a bad sim card or possibly your battery cover is not making good contact. check to see if one of those could be an issue
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
i was having that same issue for a while and came to the conclusion that it was a contact issue with the back battery cover. i ended up using needle nose pliers to pull out the contacts slightly from the back of the phone as well as i got a pack of that spark plug(electrical) grease from Napa Auto Parts ($0.99) and applied a very small amount to each of the contact areas on the back cover. since, the problem has gone away.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micromania:
You guys were right! that was it - bad contact with the antennas. the dielectric grease worked... thank you!

Go Locker

I used to use golocker but I had a period of time where I switched back and forth between it and magiclocker and I'd rather use magic locker, there are A LOT more themes and it runs smoother than go locker does. I agree that the goteam has a lot of awesome stuff but the golocker just isn't doing it for me.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Protocol 7:
Since I'm a proud owner of a Droid Bionic, I want to use my OG Droid as just a PDA. I'm using Sapphire 2.0 and the Signal strength icon on my status bar just annoying me like crazy. I've already disabled the cell radio, but how do I remove the icon from my status bar?

Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] pomeroythomas:
I believe it has something to do with framework-res.apk

I would just look up how to change statusbar icons and change the icon to whatever color your statusbar is.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
Correct, the thing is that each time you change ROMs, you would have to remove the files. Just open framework-res in 7zip and extract the drawable-hdpi folder, view the files, delete the icons you want, and replace in framework-res.apk. Put framework-res.apk back into the ROM and reflash.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Protocol 7:
Could I just use Root explorer to open the APK and remove it from there?

EDIT: Ahaha, nope. Nevermind!

EDIT2: So I reflashed it and all went well, now, how can I make it so that the status icons fill in the void that it left? Now it's just an awkward space between the battery and sound icon.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
That is probably done with some XML editing. I can't help you with that, it's beyond my extent of theming :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Protocol 7:
Alright then, many thanks though!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] pomeroythomas:
You should be able to ADB push so you don't have to reflash your ROM, but that specific framework-res.apk will only work with the ROM it came from in the beginning.

Decompile using apktool or apkmanager (which utilizes apktool) and then...

Should work, please post your feedback and results here :)

actually, definitely follow the wiki, but use cut & paste rather than typing, makes a huge difference in the chance of an error, and errors could be costly, and as a bonus, it's much faster than typing all of those complex command lines.

I've had the Skinomi Techskin Carbon Fiber for about 3-4 weeks now.

You can view the webpage here:

http://www.skinomi.com/sk5455-motorola-droid-3-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html

I really like it. It took a few days for it to settle in (and by that I mean for the corners to not pick up every little speck of fluff in your pocket) but since then it is amazing. It has a pretty nice texture to it (it's not smooth); it feels like actual woven carbon fiber. It also came with a clear front screen protector, which is just as good as the InvisibleShield minus the orangepeel effect.

Here is an awesome montage of pics, courtesy of my 3DS:
[Motorola Droid 3] lordgodgeneral:
How did the screen protector fit, are the cutouts in all the right spots?
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Yep, everything fit perfectly
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
Great pics. I have the same exact skin sitting in its package on my computer desk at home, but unfortunately I've been sending back every single Droid 3 I've owned due to one problem or another. I'm receiving my 10th replacement tomorrow and hopefully this one won't be a ****ter. I love the texture on this skin and I seriously can't wait to put it on my phone.

Question for you; did you use a blow-drier during any part of installation? I read that it's a good idea to use a blow-drier on the corners when first installing so they don't flip back up.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Nope, never used a blow drier. There was only one part that kept peeling up (the bottom of the screen half of the phone, under the capacitive buttons, on the chrome part). What I did was just held it over my lighter until it stayed down.
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
Gotcha, good to know. I'm installing mine tonight.
[Motorola Droid 3] funnce:
Installed my clear TechSkin a couple of days ago and it's been doing great. I might post a review of it later but your review of the carbon fiber version gave me the thumbs up I needed to go for my leap of faith to get the TechSkin :)
[Motorola Droid 3] gbarayah:
I'm a big fan of Skinomi Products as well. They are affordable and make a solid protector. I have the screen protector on my XT860 and also used them for my Desire Z. I like that their protectors are 'smooth' and the screen retains the 'glass' feel. Invisible shield was a bit thick and felt unnatural on a touch screen.

Anyone ordering from their website can use this generic promo code for 25% off: skinomi25. I would also recommend searching amazon as many times they are cheaper there.
[Motorola Droid 3] funnce:
Yeah, skinomi25 works, I used it. I think that the price averaged around $15 for Amazon which is the same as with the 25% off but you get a lifetime warranty.

I'd say the material is the same "soft" screen protector material but Skinomi's is much better since it doesn't have the orange peel effect on the screen and it's not "sticky" either like Zagg's InvisibleShield.
[Motorola Droid 3] siscoders:
x2. I've used Skinomi protectors since I got my original Droid a couple years back. Just picked up the kit for my XT862 and everything fit perfect. The surface is much more durable than any of the sub $5 products offer. Worth every penny.
