[HTC Wildfire S] patcheduppiece:
I've searched the Wildfire S threads under both General and Dev, cannot find a guide or any basic tips on how to uninstall, delete, or remove these apps.

This looks similar, but with different goals, altogether.

This particular device has numerous variants that I've seen.

My wife's WildfireS is MarvelC Android V:2.3.4 HTC Sense 2.1... already s-off w/ root. 16Gb sd (Partitioned with ClockworkRec on my MyTouch4g Cyanogenmod 7.1.0)

Essentially, I would like to keep the existing ROM, Sense, and current state... MINUS bogus pre-installed apps. They're utter garbage! A complete waste of space and resources on a device that is good for an introduction into touchscreens (cough *my wife* cough.)

Thanks folks! Any help would be appreciated!

I'll write you a debloating guide if you can help me

I need someone that has a MetroPCS nandroid [shortly after root would be ideal] before any debloating attempts. There are other users that have semi-bricked flashing incompatible roms. If you meet the above criteria or know someone that does, pm me... Need to extract two files; so, I can make a flashable stock fot MetroPCS users. I will then write you a comprehensive debloating guide [for all three cdma carriers even] whad'ya say?

Well, I'll still write a debloating plan.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] tk123456789:
Greetings,

I am in the market for a tablet and I am considering the Galaxy Tab 8.9. AT&T in the US is offering a deal where if you buy and activate an AT&T locked 8.9 Galaxy Tab you get a free Samsung Galaxy S2 or S2 Skyrocket.

Here are my questions:

1. What are the benefits or drawbacks from buying the AT&T branded and locked Galaxy Tab 8.9 versus the unlocked Galaxy Tab as shown here on Expansys: http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung...16gb-android-tablet-black-850-1900-3g-223265/

2. Is the AT&T Galaxy Tab easy to unlock and use sim cards from other countries when traveling abroad?

3. Are there any other differences hardware wise between the AT&T Galaxy Tab and the one in the link above? I cannot find any and have checked multiple sites for information.

4. Would it be possible to flash the rom of the unlocked Galaxy tab to the AT&T Tab?

Any help or opinions greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
I will try to answer you the best I can.

1. AT&T version is faster and newer from my knowledge, but with far less developmental support. ATT supports 4g and LTE while the old tabs only do 3g and wifi. The older generation tablets have good developmental support with an ICS port in development. No custom ROMS at the moment for the ATT version.

2. No experience here, sorry.

3. The old tabs have tegra2 chips, while the ATT version uses qualcomm (snapdragon) chipsets. ATT is 1.5ghz while the 3g one is 1ghz. Both dual core. ATT battery capacity is ever so slightly larger as well. ATT version is 2 grams heavier (lol). The ATT one is considered snappier and more responsive from what i hear, but if the 3g one receives ICS then they could be comparable. The ROMS and Kernels from the older tabs are not compatable with the ATT LTE one. The closest thing to the ATT tablet is the Galaxy S II Skyrocket.

4. ATT Tab is only rooted at the moment through a custom kernel. No CWM or ROMS yet.

Hope this helps, and if I am wrong anywhere someone correct me. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] tk123456789:
Thanks for your help that was very informative! I am still curious about the unlock on the AT&T version though because I travel a lot. Anyone else have any ideas about unlocking the AT&T Tab? I did several searches but could not find specific information for the AT&T version. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Croak:
2. It's unlockable online.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] winrock:
SIM unlock

Has the question about unlocking solved? I was looking at the tablet too and wanted to find a way to unlock it? Is there a way to do it after rooting it? I don't want to buy it from one of those unlock website.

Nice themes, any ideas on how to edit the clock color on the status bar?

Not forsure, but I'd guess it's some .xml in systemUI or framework-res.

Having trouble getting apktool to work with HC so until then I might not be much help

Installed Blue HC on ARHD 2.3.2, works fine
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsnake:
I just got my NC and decided to give this a try instead of buying a N2A card.

Android Version 2.3.7

Kernel version 2.6.32.9

Mod Version CyanogenMod-7.1.0-encore

build Number GWK74

ClockworkMod 3.2.0.1

When I initially booted off the memory card everything was smooth until gapp. It loaded but when it came to selecting the apps when I clicked on one it flashed and just continued to set up. It didn't let me select any. No big deal because it worked fine.

I had force close issues so I ran Fix Permissions through ROM Manager and this seemed to help except for a few apps.

I used LCDDensity and changed that to 161 with Kill All which cleared up my force close issues on Words With Friends and Tweetcaster.

I get on today and notice videos are now missing from the market main screen and apps that I had yet to install are now no longer compatible with my device. They were last night but I was picking and choosing what I wanted on here. Why the sudden change? I rebooted the device just a few minutes ago and now the sudden change.

I also read about clearing davlik cache but how do you do this? I am not a programmer or developer so I have no clue. I have spent hours reading here everyday since Christmas and my mind is melting. I tried rebooting into recovery but I do not get the option to do anything. The penguin appears and a few things scroll down the screen and it reboots. I tried using the emulator and that won't work either unless I am typing something in wrong.

Are there any other tweaks or things I need to do to keep things stable and running smoothly? Are their certain things I need to clear regularly i.e. davlik cache, application cache or data?

I appreciate all the hard work and the time everyone puts into this. Please help. Like I said I need kindergarten instructions. Thank you.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
First off, I've never had much success running from uSD. Even as far back as NookieFroyo. Once I made the move to running from eMMC most of my issues disappeared.

Davlik can be wiped from the Advanced selection when you boot to CWM as can Fix Permissions.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtidey:
If you are going to run from SD then it is highly advisable to use a Sandisk Class 2 or 4 card. The brand does make a difference and others have found that other makes lead to slow downs and instabilities.

I would also recommend starting again following the veryGreen SD install method

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

and using the MiRaGe KANG ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1344873

This is CM7 but with the latest improvements including kernel adding to stability and performance.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
Also, never use Windows to format your uSD. The format utility in Windows can (and does) screw up the format. Use this freebie. Has always worked well for me. You would be surprised how many problems that involve uSDs are traced back to a bad format.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Setting to 161, you are asking for more issue.

Suggestion: set it back to 160.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsnake:
How do I get to the Advance section and boot to CWM? When I try it through ROM Manager the device restarts with the penguin and after a few lines it says the system is ****ting down. It does not give me any menu options.

I read that this was recommended and when I do it my apps that have issues work and they work well. No more force close issues.

Thanks for the advice guys. Like I said I have no experience with any of this. I am learning though and love to tinker with things and figure out how they work.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsnake:
I did the veryGrenn SD install. Is there a link on how to install a new ROM. I read the link but I just do not understand it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtidey:
To update the ROM on an SD card install power down, remove card then you put the card back onto the PC and copy the new ROM zip onto it but named as update-cm-*.zip. Put the card back in the Nook and power up with N button pressed until you see the screen flash. Choose reboot recovery and the new zip will be installed.

However, if you are doing a major ROM switch and haven't invested too much time installing apps etc yet then I would recommend just doing the VeryGreen install from the beginning to get a clean install.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsnake:
I did a clean install and so far things are working well. Base off of the veryGreen install are there any "must have" settings or tweaks I need to do to keep things smooth? Any nook or CM7 apps you guys would recommend. I know it has been answered 50,000 times but I am losing sleep reading the forums here. :D

Thanks again for the help and your patience.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:

+ few others that occasionally use.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtidey:
Every one gets their own favorite apps to suit their interests. I personally go for ES file explorer for general file navigation and accessing my computers' shares wirelessly, Dolphin HD browser for the gesture navigation, moboplayer for playing media, and QuickPic for photo viewing.

But don't forget Nook Tweaks. This allows you to tweak the kernel and benefit from some of the good things in there that distinguish the Dalingrin CM7 kernel. Like overclocking to get a really good boost in performance (most people go for 1200MHz max for stability), undervolting to stretch the battery a bit, audio settings to make the stock feeble audio considerably louder (set DAC boost about 50%), and USB hosting if you want to connect USB peripherals.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtidey:
I'm not using SD CM7 currently myself but my recollection when I did is that the recovery is not a full clockwork but a stripped down one just designed to install update zips. As such you don't get the full menu and operation from ROM manager isn't going to work properly.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsnake:
On this clean install I finally got it to work and there is no penguin. Just the menu that I should see so I finally cleared davlik cache.

I downloaded nook Tweaks as well.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
Excellent! So all is well?

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 AM ----------

Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsnake:
So I have done a clean install of veryGreen exactly as posted except that I have the latest stable instead of a nightly. So do I simply download that ROM file and do as you stated for MiRaGe Kang? Just asking because on that link there is a bunch of different things listed and I get kind of lost. All I need is the ROM file and follow what you said quoted above?

Thanks again.

I tried renaming the file but it says the name cannot contain * so what am I doing wrong. Searched the forums and can't find the answer.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtidey:
The * is just shorthand for any name. You can't include * in the actual name as it is a wildcard character that matches any part of a name. The important part is that the new name starts with update-cm- so you can just put that on the front of the MiRaGe zip (which is all you need).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsnake:
Thank you. I figured it out kind of. I downloaded that ROM and followed the instructions and rooted my nook which I did not want to do. I wanted to dual boot off the memory card. It is all a learning experience.

I did a factory restore and all was good again. Started fresh and was going for a new verygreen install and my memory card slot no longer locks the card in. I am so thankful I had completed the factory reinstall. My wife went to B&N today and exchanged it for me with no issue.

So for now I think I will stick to the verygreen install and tweak it to my liking until something stable for ICS comes about.

Thanks for your patience and help. Some really good people here helping out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Randomhero27:
ive been really annoyed with this and cant figure out fix or anything.

im on stock att rom with a basic root.

why the hell cant i send a 720p video through mms to friends? i used to be able to send 30minute long videos from my iphone if i wanted. now, i cant even send a 10second video without getting told the file is too big. anyway to get around this?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
possible..but i've not tried.

in the video, you have to lower the quality setting.

the default setting take beautiful, crisp clear vids.

just to give you an idea,

a 10 min vid with default setting is about 250mb.

the starting at&t data plan is only 200mb for some people.

you can try to lower the quality to make the size of your vid smaller

a simple pic is almost 3mb
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Randomhero27:
yea, there is a "optimize for mms" setting, but its like 400xsomething. and im not worried about data usage. unlimited :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
ATT forum....establish the maximum file size for MMS messages. One thread said that the file size can't exceed 600kb. That's not very much for a video.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Randomhero27:
thats stupid. especially when my old iphone would send video messages that were any size.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DeRock13:
If you had an old iPhone when Unlimited Data was still available, probably no issue. I'm sure the limit is for the recipients sake as opposed to you. Not everyone has that data plan.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chopstix9:
Time for the eligible upgrade on Verizon for my wife's line. She has my old original Moto Droid and I have the Charge. Gonna pass my Charge on to her and I am for obvious reason leaning heavily towards the G-Nex.

I know there will be fans of other phones out there telling me to get 'x' instead. (then get out of the G-Nex forums trolls !!)

It has been in the wild a little while now. What are your honest impressions? I am expecting a little less crisp display than I have on the charge, and that's okay. I don't watch videos on the phone.

So long as I can achieve an easy down and dirty root to use wifi tether on my laptop in my truck, I'll be happy. No doubt in time, I'l start playing with different ROMS but I'm in no great hurry there. Development is still in the early stages for the LTE but as time goes on they will be refined and nice solid ones will come out.

Hell, with her having wifi with my charge, I might even get rid of comcast net and just use the phones. We're grandfathered in to unlimited.

Anyone out there think I could do better than this phone before I buy it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chjade84:
I've had it for 2 weeks now and overall I am as happy as can be. No need to list the awesome qualities since we all know them so here are the gripes:

Let's get this out of the way first -- the screen:

It's not as bad as a lot of people are saying. I got to compare it to my friend's Galaxy S II (who just switched to Verizon in order to get the G'nex after playing with mine...) and yes, large areas of darker solid color have a 'linen' or 'grainy' pattern. It's noticeable in the menus the most. FORTUNATELY, with the brightness set to 60-75% the whites don't have that texture which is the most common large area of a single color.

Otherwise, it's not really that noticeable. In normal use, games, browser, etc you don't really ever see it.

The screen also has a yellowish tint but that seems to be the norm these days. As long as you aren't comparing it to another source of "white" your eyes just make the adjustment. iPhones still have the whitest whites but their screen is tiny. ;)

The volume rocker tends to get in the way when playing games in landscape; maybe I'm just holding it wrong though.

The camera quality really is pretty bad compared to what it could be - not megapixels though, I'm one of those who argues megapixels aren't everything - but the picture quality even in bright light isn't that great if you zoom in all the way. Things are pixelated much more than I'd like.

BUT it's a camera phone. I have a DSLR for "real" photos. These are just fine for facebook, taking pictures for reference later, etc. It's still better than the HTC EVO!

The only notification light color is white but that can be fixed with apps.

External speaker is somewhat quiet but so long as I don't have to replace it twice (EVO!) I'm happy with it.

--end cons--

Also, the battery life is great. No problem going a day on a charge without playing games. Light use gets me 12 hours with 50% left.

You really can't get a better phone right now. I'm sure you can in 2-3 months but it will be a carrier modified phone with a locked bootloader, etc.

I say go for it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kryptonian_Knight:
thats what I did gave my wife the charge and got the nexus. I tried the razor and took it back the next day. I have no regrets about the nexus. for a new device I had zero bugs in that I can think of. I'm sure I will regret it after ces next month but thats a never ending story with cell phones now adays.

Sent from GALAXY NEXUS

Thank if helped
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chopstix9:
Yeah like I said, I've read some of the gripes about the phone. Having the Charge currently, which has an incrdible display for clarity and brightness, I expect a bit of degradation there. S'okay ... I don't really game on the phone either.

As for the next latest and greatest? Pfft .... you could drive yourself nutz with that one!! The landscape has been pretty quiet now since all of the phones that made it out prior to the holidays. You may not see some breathtakingly new device come out before summer at the earliest and maybe even next holiday season. I'm not too worried about that.

I was glad to hear the battery life is fair. Does anyone know if Juice Defender is compatible with ICS ? I use the ultimate on my phone and it works well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddieN:
I only managed to try Juice Defender Ultimate 3.8.0 and it seemed like it worked but the battery life felt worse with it on imo. Could be that JD just isn't ICS compatible to 100% in 3.8.0.

Oh and it also started screwing with my screen. When I unlock, the screen is unresponsive until i manage to somehow reboot the phone by holding the power button down. Didn't get anything like that again when i uninstalled it until last night again, but after checking my phones internal memory there was some juice defender folders left so it may still be conflicting. Will do a factory reset.

Otherwise - Go for it!! Really happy with the phone. And tbh all the negative stuff on this forum is a really serious case of buyers remorse. The things people on this forum notice, normal people NEVER notice. It's normal though. When you pay a substantial amount of money for a phone you're bound to look for the con's rather than appreciate the pro's.

I never noticed anything with my phone until I logged onto XDA and found some threads. Then and only then do I actually notice "faults" (if you can call them that), and even then I have to look really hard... I wouldnt read the crying going on in this forum. I'd just be really happy with the device because it's a great piece of kit. I don't mind miniscule hiccups or faults. People on this forum have a hawk eye for things and dont settle until it's PERFECT lol.

The batterylife was really crap for me the first 2-3 days but that was also with heavy useage since I had just bought it. I find it to be really good now. I can easily go through a whole day and still have 46%-50% battery left before charging during the night.

The camera is alright and in light conditions I find it to be pretty good actually. Low light conditions is fine too but it's no DSLR of course. I don't find the flash making the pictures all "yellow" like someone said on the forums.
