[HTC Amaze 4G] the_duck:
Kill Bloatware

Iin addition to turning off GPS when not in use (have a CurveFish GPS Toggle Widget on my homescreen), keeping screen brightness to 40% via the Power Control Widget, keeping Wi-Fi alive even when screen's off & turning off Facebook updates, going into each app i installed to make sure there's no background updates (like with the Economist or Google +1) & changing refresh/sync times for my weather widget to every hour.

That still had me with a dead battery by the end of my work day, so I decided to take it a step further and I had great success with my battery life by removing a lot of the bloatware on my phone.

Here's what I posted in another thread about removing bloatware...now by the end of the day I was at 60%....not bad at all!

---------------------

Didn't want to unlock my bootloader, so I did the following to disable the apps (didn't uninstall them, just puts them in remission so they don't show up in my App Drawer anymore or run in the background).

I kinda rushed these instructions out and probably left some stuff out since I'm used to doing this on my G2 & my other Android devices, so if you run into any problems, just PM me or post a response.

1. Install HTC Drivers on computer (used Windows 7 Professional machine, separate drivers if you're on a Mac): http://www.multiupload.com/AUF6125ZOY

2. Install ADB Shell (http://www.wiihacks.com/android-phon...setup-adb.html). ADB Shell not necessarily needed, you could use the "Terminal Manager" on your Amaze after you temproot and run the "pm disable" commands there.

3. Use XBoarderMod's One-Click Root to gain Temporary root status (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1310115)

4. Using ADB Shell on your windows box with your Amaze attached via USB with Debugging on, start executing the "pm disable <package name>" command to turn off these apps.

Here's a list of what I disabled (i kept the list minimal, just wanted to get rid of the annoying ones and the apps that kept on persisting in my "running services" tab)

com.telenav.app.android.telenav

com.facebook.katana

com.infraware.docmaster

com.zinio.android.settings

com.zinio.mobile.android.reader

com.slacker.radio

com.tmobile.moreforme

com.tmobile.d411

com.tmobile.apppack

com.htc.htctwitter

com.htc.Twitter3DWidget

com.htc.friendstream

com.htc.FriendStream3DWidget

com.htc.android.teeter

com.tmobile.highlight

com.voxmobili.sync.MobileBackup2

Best of all, this method sticks after the phone reboots and you lose your temproot. Temproot your phone again if you want to reenable these apps or turn more off.

If you're not using ADB Shell to disable your apps, here's a list of all packages on the Amaze since it's going to be next to impossible to get this from Terminal Manager. I tried taking out the apps that I installed myself, but some might still be on this list (sorry).

Also, be careful disabling some packages because some might cause problems...I made sure I researched each one to make sure they were safe to turn off.
