I want to root only to remove some built-in apps including HTCLinkifydispatcher.apk.

However, I don't want to deal with any issues related to: having 3rd party apps running on a rooted device that also handles my money money, receiving any OTA updates, and warranty eligibility.

<< If my above assumptions of potential issues are wrong, please correct me :) ! >>

I know rooting is just getting underway and that I need to wait patiently wait for the unroot process as well, but I'm curious if my following plan makes sense:

1. Root phone

2. Remove apps I don't want

3. Unroot phone

4. OTA updates come as needed. If a major OTA update adds back a removed app I dont want, repeat steps (1-3) as needed once the community has had a chance to root/unroot the OTA update

Whoops just realized that this might be better for Q+A forum, so feel free to move the topic there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
I just froze the above apk with TB. The usual open with dialogue did not come up. I think it's going to take alot more than just getting rid of the htc apk's to return that type of functionality.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tesla45:
Ah I see, good to know going in before I make the plunge and get this phone. I hope the situation improves (maybe HTC can really improve the preset linking capabilities) because from the threads I've seen so far quite a few linkable objects just don't work or redirect to the wrong thing (especially linkable objects the HTC linker app doesn't know about).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
I'm hopeful CM will have something mostly functional before the year's end or sooner. While some prefer aosp, I really want an OS that has no HTC apk's in it :). For the longest time I didn't want to switch from sense. After some prodding from another member here, I saw the light. While it took more time to get cm configured to my liking, eventually it was perfect. Everything worked (99%), and there was no bloat at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] McHeiSty:
Ok, so Ive had a Galaxy S2 for nearly 6 months now... LOVE IT!

One of the first things that I did was root it, and it was worked flawlessly ever since. (Thanks to all the developers)

So yesterday, I was watching a video on my Laptop through my S2 Hotspot (I have a Tmobile Monthly 4G plan, Unlimited Data and Text with 100 Minutes) when suddenly the page redirected to the Tmobile Wifi hotspot upsell page.

So naturally, I did what any other Android fanboy would do, I rooted it further! (I installed the DarkSide ICS Rom for the S2, works really great)... But still, infortunately, the Tmovile Upsell Redirect page keeps coming up on the laptop, which is weird because the "tethering manager" app was removed through Titanium backup both before and after the upgrade, on both roots!

Im confused, how is this possible? How is Tmobile redirecting me if the Tethering Manager app is gone?

I even checked the APNs with APN manager... Nothing...

I used the LDE radio that the Developer said to use on his ROM page. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1623430

Anyone have any ideas? This is weird.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
This only happens with chrome use firefox or ie.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] McHeiSty:
OH MY GOD YOURE A GENIUS!

Opera works great!

Anyone know of a bypass or addon to change the browser identifier? Or maybe stop the phone from ever forwarding these browsers to begin with?

BTW I use Chrome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
I use chrome as well but i think tmobile is using chrome user agent strings to tell if your tethering. I honestly don't see the point in making me or anyone pay for it when your going to throttle me anyway. If chrome has something like firefox grease monkey scripts. You should be able to edit them. Look for an user agent extension. plenty in the chrome store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] McHeiSty:
Ok, Im using the User Agent switcher on Chrome, works great... I think I can live with it D:

THANKS! Its beautiful ;,]

Still, would be nice to know if theres a more general solution, like Android side of things instead of PC side... So maybe others could use the Wifi without having to switch User Agents?

Any thoughts?

But yea, this fix is perfect, thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
Not sure since t-mobile is blocking user agent strings through actual browser. There might be i haven't explored it really. Off the top of my head would be use a vpn. Since all packets of data are hidden and encrypted. I know android you can has plenty of vpn solutions. As for an app there is one i know that wont be detected. clockwork tether. but you need to be connected usb.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Haxel:
Really to be the negative nancy here...

I have been using TMO for years, and never had a tethering warning. I use tethering as a supplement when I"m on the road. Which is sparingly for specific tasks.

Now the OP may not be, but all you * that use the tether function constantly to use as a primary ISP is the reason TMO has become more anal about the mobile data. /soapbox

Keep that in mind when you see posts when you see a "I'm getting the TMO block prompt" posts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zeyrah:
Same issue same fix! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rolf90:
Happens to me on firefox... Help to fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DrHero:
Freeze every service that includes tether with Ti Backup, works like a charm after that for me. There are 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis3:
Yeah, they have a bunch of sneaky crap in the ROM that looks for the Wifi module in infrastructure mode, and if it finds it either (1) shuts it off or (2) notifies the head-end you're attached to, and then you get the famous upsell screen.

If you've got an ENTIRELY custom ROM (not a cooking job, but an actual BUILD) then those bits are not in there, but if you're running stock or something cooked from stock, they ARE in there.

T-Mobile ALSO looks for your browser user agent and will trip on that too. Firefox has the ability to run a custom user agent and you can stick a string in there that looks like an Android phone. Of course then sites on the net will serve their "mobile" versions, which may not be what you want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mlevin:
What about a stock AOSP ROM (I have a Galaxy Nexus). There shouldn't be any of that crap from Google, right, just on a TMo-built ROM? Of course, that doesn't help with user-agent sniffing if I'm on TMo's network even if I don't have one of their phones/ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis3:
You can shut off the crap in their stock ROM but it won't help you with the agent-sniffing.....
[Android General] intika:
I don't have the time for the moment but when i got some free time i will make an application to do the stuff :)
[Android General] LA_:
Could you please explain how it works? Does it reboot your phone to make backup?
[Android General] intika:
Hello

Here what it do :

1. Set a backup at a time and day (or every day or every week or what you want regarding time and repetition)

2. On selected time, the phone reboot to recovery without any interact make the backup (every think is displayed) ... once finish it reboot the phone to normal state.

example you set to make a backup every day at 4h o clock... your phone will reboot and make the backup and then restart to normal mode... so when you wake up you just have to enter the Code pin of the phone or just unlock it if it's does not ask for a code pin.
[Android General] LA_:
Ok, so user will have to input PIN... not like that really.
[Android General] intika:
best stable backup are backup made from recovery...

generally we would make an automatic backup when we are not using the phone so at night... so it's not really a problem to do not have incoming call after backup until the pin is entered...

any way all other stuff like wake up alarm and other application will be running they don't need the pin to be entered ! ...

you can also remove pin request and put just a code to unlock the screen, it's a solution if you want to be reachable any time...
[Android General] kemikelx:
I think intika means that it will reboot once the backup are done.

The pin input is normal if you enabled it in security settings. It happens when you reboot your phone.

Any screenshots for this? Seems like the script is too simple to be true.
[Android General] ktoonsez:
Is there a command to stop Recovery from rebooting? I have an OTA app that flashes a ROM and I want Recovery to stay in it and not just auto reboot, because the user might want to install gapps before rebooting.
[Android General] hawk1996:
Sorry to bump an old thread, but has anyone gotten this to work? I really miss the automated full backup from my windows mobile device.
[Android General] VampiruX:
Sorry, mistake.
[Android General] badai:
any review on this?

i just spent few bucks on ROM manager only to find out the auto backup only work on internal memory. if i set it to sd card, it will get error and just stuck in recovery. kind of sucks for paid app. and my question to dev just went unanswered. really sucks for a paid app.

Future CM9 builds will come prepackaged with Apollo music player and it should do a better job than stock.
[HTC Sensation] DLittle2012:
I wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache + falvik when installing a new rom alright.when is it recommend to do a format all partitions(except sd card) Isn't the 2 pretty much the samething?If not what's the difference between the 2? :)
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
the "formal all partiotions" is a more complete wipe :) i recommend to do that when installing a new rom :) in few words it wipes everything you can choose singly too
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
The "Factory Reset" only wipes the data partition of the phone (all the user-based info), whereas the "Format All Partitions" does exactly that (data, system, boot, sd-ext, cache, etc).
[HTC Sensation] DLittle2012:
Thank you very much!!! ;)
[HTC Sensation] skeletonfriend:
I always use ARHD Super Wipe script when installing a new ROM...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Touch Pro kid:
Anyone know how to raise the speaker volume levels for the LTE? I preordered 2 phones and both have very low volume when set to max and halfway there is no sound. Tried Volume+ with no improvements.

My Bestbuy has no phones to swap out.

Sent from my HTC EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phsteve:
Yeah I have the same issue... I feel like there's some setting that we're missing...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mayfield103:
My speaker sounds great it is definitely louder than my EVO 3d by far
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nacase:
I've seen so many mixed reports about the EVO LTE speaker. Some people say it's great and louder than their OG EVO 4G. Others say it's significantly more quiet.

I wonder what's going on with all the mixed reports? I suspect people are just inherently bad at judging audio. I wish we had more objective tests for smartphone speakers. All reviewers should use a loudness/dB meter with the phone at maximum volume, playing a standard sine tone, with the meter recording at a standard distance away from the speaker. Also check for clipping and find out the maximum volume where clipping doesn't occur. GSMArena is the only site I've seen that does a test similar to this, but they don't do it for every review unfortunately.

In any case, I would hope the EVO LTE speaker is at least as loud as the OG EVO's, considering that my OG EVO's speaker was too quiet in my opinion.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I strain to hear people when the volume is maxed out. I'd say that's pretty silly. I would expect to be able to hear easily at halfway. I can deal with it, but it is slightly disappointing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slayer69:
I would say make sure you have nothing covering the speaker....I noticed while playing games the sound seemed low.....I moved my finger ever so slightly and holy crap I needed to turn that shît down!!! I have also heard that some cases are to blame....

Just my 2 cents......my speaker kicks some major a$$
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I'm not sure if there's a couple extra speakers, but I'm talking about the part that is up against my ear when I'm making a phone call. There's nothing covering that up except my ear, haha.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ajamer:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5779/htc-one-x-for-att-review/7

anandtech has an excellent review with speaker volumes measured. Louder than the iPhone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bobarune:
I haven't tested this but you can try turning on Hearing Aids in Settings > Call > Hearing Aids. It says it will amplify in-call volume.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nacase:
It's interesting that there is almost a 2 dBA difference between the HTC One X International and AT&T versions. That is enough of a difference to be easily detected by human ears. What is the explanation for this? Software differences? Standard process variation of amplifier and speaker components? Different circuits between the international and AT&T versions? Measurement error?

It also means we can't assume the EVO LTE will be the same. I wish Anandtech would review the EVO LTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slayer69:
LOL ok that was funny......check to make sure you have nothing in your ear? lol

Seriously though, I would try to exchange it if you can....mine is too loud and I have to turn it down all the time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dannydeez:
I dont know what speakers you guys are talking about but when I have a call on speakerphone it is very low. When I stream music it is also very low. Does anyone know why?

When im talking on the phone regularly(right up to my ear), the volume is excellent.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Touch Pro kid:
Is there anyway to turn the settings up like we did in the EVO 3D?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nacase:
I just compared the rear speakers on my EVO LTE vs my original EVO 4G. Both on maximum volume outputting the same audio.

The original EVO 4G was noticeably louder than the EVO LTE. It's sad that the EVO LTE (at least mine) has made such a regression, especially considering that the rear speaker on the original EVO 4G already wasn't sufficiently loud in my opinion.

Hopefully we come up with a fix for this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djscissorhands:
I am also having volume issues both with speakerphone and in call with the phone up to my ear. I have to strain to hear the person on the other end when driving. This was not an issue with the og evo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sbuxreg:
speakerphone on evo 4g lte is def. lower than OG Evo. I am experiencing the same issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NoClemency:
I did the same thing and got the same results. Like you said, hopefully we can come up with a fix for this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tech7:
Same here I say speaker is low my s 2 is way louder then evo LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NissanNick:
I. Already made a post about. This.... Speaks on the phone way to low... Try volume +.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Touch Pro kid:
Tried Volume + with no improvements. I tried Equalizer and improved slightly but still low. Lower then 3D (volume settings raised with QPST or something like that). Return my EVO LTE for a new one and still low. Waiting for something to be posted that works.

Sent from my EVO LTE with low speaker volume lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nacase:
There may be some hope. I noticed that when playing sound through the rear speaker on max volume, the two relevant ALSA mixer controls were only set to 75%. If I manually set those to 100% while sound is playing, it gets noticeably louder. Still not as loud as I'd like, but it's an improvement.

To test, play something through a media player, open up an adb shell and run the following commands while playing:

$ amix 'LINEOUT1 Volume' 100%
$ amix 'LINEOUT3 Volume' 100%

It should get a bit louder. However, this will be reset after pausing/playing or whenever the system does any other mixer adjustment. The change obviously has to go elsewhere to make it more permanent. The fix may involve modifying one of the LINEOUTx settings in the scripts in /system/etc/snd_soc_msm
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firebirdude:
Add me to the list of former EVO 4G owners whos new LTE speakerphone is much quieter than the 4G. SUCKS.

I listen to music on my phone while I'm in the shower. Been doing it for years. Did it with my old EVO for its entire lifespan. Now I have the LTE and I can barely hear the audio over the shower. ULTRA LAME.

Worse than the EVO 4G for certain and I'd have to say worse than my old Blackberry 9630 AND my ancient Sanyo flip phone (~2005).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NissanNick:
Yea the speaks are way to low... Try volume +... It works..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FawltyTowers:
On one hand I'm glad to see the problem is widespread because it means I'm not the only one, but on the other hand I think it sucks that HTC allowed this to happen.

With the kind of tech they can put into cellphones today this should be a non-issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Zameus:
Tag me as having a low speaker EVO LTE. I noticed it right away when I used naviagtion for the first time. I'm out in the field 50% of my job and I use GPS quite often. She sounds like she's whispering! I hope HTC has a fix for this! :eek:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ogretech:
I have this same problem but specifically with navigation volume. General audio volume seems good to me (even through an Otterbox Defender case). Of course, the irony is that when I'm in the noisiest environment, the volume is the lowest...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thlinx:
I really think its lower because so many evo owners were complaining about blown speakers
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
Yes its weird bc while watching say YouTube my volume is great but while playing music through stock music player its much lower ..at least I know the speaker can get loud..now hopefully they fix it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xTmDarren:
Volumn+ didn't work for me..

Try Music Volumn EQ - I actually listen to a lot of music and actually bought a external speaker for work, and can truthfully say Music Volumn EQ is the only thing that I could actually tell a big difference with..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] garion521:
I'm really disappointed with the speaker volume too... It sounds great with some of the stock ringtones but for everything else it's just not loud enough for me!

Waiting on a working xloud mod to come out..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] falconey07:
It was widely stated that those going from the OG EVO to the EVO 3D that the speaker volume regressed. It's interesting that most of the ppl in the thread are comparing the LTE to the OG EVO's sound. I think the OG EVO had one of the louder speaker phones you will find on a phone. With that said, with the EVO 3D many people used a program(QPST I believe) to boost the volume settings.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Yeah, my OG Evo is waayyy louder. In fact, I still have to use it as my alarm clock, as this is likely too quiet to wake me up. That said, I also had to have sprint replace a blown speaker 2 or 3 times over the 2 yrs I had it.

When kernel source becomes available, it will be easier to boost volume, I believe. I seem to remember custom kernels with increased volume on OG Evo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bm6788:
How do you get Volume + to work? All of the versions that I've tried requires that you change your sound enhancer to Volume +, but I am not able to configure the sound enhancer without having the head phones plugged in.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bm6788:
Anyone???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neogeo64:
I'm wondering if it has to do with the whole beats audio garbage.

My OG Evo is def louder in the mid range level where vocals and movie dialog tend to use. This also maybe due to HTC limiting the smaller speaker in the lte because it just cant handle mid-range at louder levels without distortion or damage?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bm6788:
That can definitely be an issue, but it seems like volume + can be a temporary fix for that. From prior experience i know that volume + actually works, I just want to figure out how to get it to work on this device.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petaa:
Pleas someone help me.

I have curently no rom instaled.

I m stuck in recovery and i can t conect my pc with my desire.

everything was working normal before, and i wanted to instal new rom , so i deleted the old one and now i can t conect to pc and instal new rom.

When i plug the cable while phone is of the red light comes it means that it is charging so the cable is working.

when i go to recovery red light stops and i can t conect with pc it was working before and now it is not.

Did i bricked my phone?

i know i m in wrong post and multiposting but i nead this fixed now.

i nead to use phone now, i can t wait to buy adapter
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightDevil:
I think you're asking this in the wrong place mate, either way, here goes my help lol.

If the cable is connected to the computer, you should have a recovery menu, on "Advanced" or "Mount" (not sure now) you have a "mount usb "option, that way you'll be able mount usb drive on your computer and move the new rom there. Next, you can flash it :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petaa:
i have try that it is not working
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightDevil:
You have selected "mount usb" on that same menu? No drive showing up on Windows? Even hidden one? (you can check under control panel - administrative tools - computer management - disks and see if there's nothing there, sometimes they aren't mapped).

You can also try to use a usb card reader and read the sdcard elsewhere.

There's a way to do these kind of stuff, either way, your device is far from "bricked", you just have no rom.

Ext recovery (a different recovery from CWM) could help you in this scenario as well, but I don't have much experience with those as well.

Ask the question under "Q/A" on the same Desire thread, I'm sure someone will come up with a working resolution for you :)

Good luck.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sto0ka:
LoL ?

U have recovery -> Good

1. Turn of phone

2. Open it

3. Remove Battery

4. Remove SDCARD

5. Plug SD to PC (adapters are cheap , and 90% new laptops have crd readers)

6. copy desired rom on SD

7. Boot recovery , vipe all , install room , reboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petaa:
thanks but i nead this fixed now i nead to use phone now, i can t wait to buy adapter, so if you have eny other sugestion
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sto0ka:
if u dont have anything valuable on SD , try reformat it from recovery and than mount it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaidbackNikez:
Or you could just go into Recovery -> Mounts -> Mount USB storage ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bxlogic:
use it wireless if u cant wait to buy adapter hah

and read the manual dont be lazy u have everything on the forums
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidxda:
Do you have any rom or nandbackup on your sd? Or did you format all partions?

Wich recovery do you have?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightDevil:
By the looks of it, CWM.

On the other hand, I think he died because he didn't fix it on time :rolleyes:

Jokes aside, I was once with his panic. Lucky enough I found an adapter lying around.

So I guess it worked out somehow for you Petaa?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petaa:
i don t know whay but my pc sometimes recognise phone and sometimes don t , most of the time i can t conect pc with phone.

It was not like this before.
