Blobs are created automatically when you do a backup. Never manually delete that stuff. You can delete backups from within recovery and it will automatically clear out any blob files associated with it.

If you root and flash ROMs, Titanium Backup Pro is darned near essential. Awesome tool. Freezing lets you experiment by getting rid of apps you think are unnecessary without committing to a permanent deletion.

I know free versions are always more appealing, but these tools really are not at all expensive in the grand scheme of things.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jrleathers:
So many ROMs now!!!! Starting to get a little confusing. Lol . Thanks guys, keep em coming.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
Since TB can keep a backup, can't we take a back up of the app to an SD then delete, if any problems just restore the backup.

What exactly happens when it freezes? Does it hide the app from system, so system thinks it is removed?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ticojpunk:
First Q: Yes, you could, but it's definitely the long way around it. Freezing is much less likely to cause you problems.

Second Q: Yes, that's essentially what it does, but I could not tell you technically how it happens. Your phone will likely see them as "disabled" status.

I know you're looking to save a few bucks. I get it. The BEST road is, if you want a stock or stock-like experience, just install Peach Sunrise. It really is just the stock ROM with everything pre-debloated for you. Everything you need is there, anything you don't need is not.

But I'll repeat that Titanium Backup is a good investment if you are going to be tinkering with your phone. The Pro version isn't the cheapest app out there, understood. But when you think about all the great stuff you get for FREE when you decide you want to root your phone (all these ROMs and kernels and recoveries and mods, etc), throwing $6 at a VERY useful app shouldn't really break a person. But you know your budget, so you gotta do what's right for you.

But to be fair, I'll admit it took me a while before I broke down and ponied up the money for TB Pro. I resisted it, then one day I said, heck with it. So glad I purchased it. I've used it countless times and I'll continue to use it in the future with my Galaxy Exhibit and any phones I move on to after this.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
Can you install TB again after you wipe the rom?

Also, is there a way to hide superuser somewhere without buying elite version? I don't want my wife playing with it and messing something up. Maybe I can put it in a folder and pass protect the folder..
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ticojpunk:
Once you buy TB Pro you have it forever. Just re-download it from the Play Store.

You can hide apps with certain 3rd party launchers. Other than that method, you can't hide it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jrleathers:
Don't see this in OP.

Edit: sorry .... I think it was just made. Didn't realize it was that recent.

So I realized Slim bean was a little to much for me at the moment. Recovery went perfectly. I then flashed Peach sunrise which is ok. I will be experimenting more tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
What was it "too much" I agree that slimbean may not be the best if you juts want a stable, lag-free, reliable OS.

Some people will trade speed and stability for all the latest bells and whistles.. I am not like that. this is for my wife, and the phone must be reliable, does not have to have the latest features and fancy stuff, or look great.

She even likes the stock firmware so far, but I am trying to convince her that it is slow and buggy, which it is, but she doesn't seem to mind. :) She is like "don't delete my stuff, we spent time setting up emails, apps, accounts, etc." Also I have to make sure can use it in an emergency, like 911 etc.. and that the phone won't hang..

So I am considering just deleting all the stuff phone came with and keeping it stock,

2nd option, trying peach...

Keep us posted please.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] #1n00b:
Peach is wonderful If you like stock. It's very responsive and I noticed my battery life has Improved. Peach is also scaled down, no bloatware.

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

Peach also comes with ADW launcher built in. It's an older version of the app and you can't update it, but still nice nonetheless
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KindleUser:
I like RemICS because it's based off of Samsung Galaxy S3 stock. And it has themes =3
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] #1n00b:
Just flashed EHNDROIX II 12.12.10. I'm thoroughly enjoying this ROM at the moment.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
Thanks. Keep us posted!

This thread is going pretty well, it's nice that we get to hear from bunch of different rom users and their feedback/opinion instead of having go through each rom's own topic which has a lot of technical info.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KindleUser:
Personally, I like RemICS more. Just because it's a remix of the S3 software in ICS form.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] bishoptf:
I was kind of in the same boat, setting up one for my daughter for christmas, I wanted stability and went straight to peach...peach removes all of the bloatware and makes the phone very usable. Then my wifes Nexus 4 came in, and the more I played with that and the kids played with that, with google now etc...I decided to go with CM10.

One of the things holding me back was the lack of 911 working but that has been fixed and almost everything is working except the dumb torch app, which I can care less about. It's not quite as snappy as peach but it is very smooth and gets me most of the latest bells and whistle and from me playing with it for hours works great, no FC (force close/crash), all of the google stuff works etc....Battery life is not as good as peach but I have done some tweaks and I think she will be just fine with it...

That is where I am right now but keeping my eye on slimbean and others but I think I am going to go with CM10 for her...:)

With CM10 you have to load several things but it was pretty straight forward...
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ticojpunk:
For the Torch app, just download Mini Flashlight, and you got your flashlight replaced.

As far as battery life, I've seen excellent battery life in Peach, Slimbean, and CM10. Nothing severely different about any of them in my usage.

Out of the three, I'd say Slimbean was the snappiest and least laggy of them, for me. As soon as I tried it and got to know it for a few hours, I deleted my CM10 and Peach backups, because I knew I wouldn't need them. Since going Slimbean I haven't gone back. I admit I've become a Slim fanboy of sorts. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] bishoptf:
Are you running the stock kernel or using one of the OC kernel...If I go to slimbean I would run the stock kernel...even using the stock kernel you think things are snappier?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ticojpunk:
I run the stock kernel with Slimbean. I tried SpeedyG kernel but preferred to just stay stock. I intentionally try to stay away from apps that constantly suck up a lot of RAM. The RAM is the true bottleneck on this phone. So lag and slowdown is mostly caused by the system needing to manage the minimal leftover memory.

Again I use absolutely no speed tweaks. I even use the Holo HD launcher it comes with by default. I like it a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] #1n00b:
The only thing with CM 10 I see that's extra is the Gapps. How to I go about installing those?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jrleathers:
FlAsh it just like u did the rom
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] bishoptf:
Hear is what I loaded up...

Boot into recovery

ROM Wipe, some say to wipe cache, dalvik etc...but I only did the main rom wipe

Load CM10

Load forlmula84 gapps

Load Justunbean with amore, go through the setup and select what you want it to install...I left out google search and added from play store, some have mentioned that this worked better and gets update...

Reboot, long first reboot...

Read through the CM10 towards the end should list these steps also, someone else speak up if I missed anything...Good Luck :)

What is the process on using Titanium Backup to delete the apps? For example I want to get rid of T-Mobile 411, I already backed up a copy to my SD card. To delete do I just hit Uninstall or do I have to "Wipe Data" on the app list for that app before/after I uninstall?

I got so much stuff I want to get rid of..
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ticojpunk:
Just uninstall it. No need to prepare for deletion.

Some applications keep external data in another location, still associated with application.

Isn't is required to wipe app data as well? What is the purpose of having wipe data option in TB?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ticojpunk:
A "better safe than sorry" approach is never a bad idea when you're tweaking your phone. So feel free to wipe data.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
So when I wipe the data from TB for that particular APP, and then un-install it, I can just restore it from back up and it will be fine, right?

I don't think I will even need the stuff I am uninstalling (like the antivirus, 411, caller ID app, etc...) but in case something goes wrong and they end up being linked to another apps..

Can I change the home screen layout? I want to remove "Messaging" app from being anchored at the bottom, can I replace it with something else?

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] :
This thread is necessary for discussion but I suggest everyone maintain the wiki anyway. It takes like 15-20 seconds to update it, and that way it can always be recent w/ the roms we have available since it won't be dependent on a single person

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] CatsAreGods:
$42...are they insane? For a $200 phone?

Well, anyway, I recently paid $11 for two 1600ma batteries including a separate charger. All I can say is that I ran one of these batteries through 2 or 3 full cycles, and I am now ending the day with 72% battery left instead of 40% on my year-old factory battery...and I still have the other one that I haven't even opened yet. And I think Amazon can be trusted at least. Hope that helps!

What exactly are inverted app? Do I need them? Could I just flash the forlmula84 gapps?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
Inverted basically changes your foreground and background color around. You can just flash forlmula84 gapps if you wish
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
Inverted is same apps just dark to save on light to in theory save battery. The downside to inverts is the backgrounds have been modified. Yes you can use formulas gapps. No downside to them as not modified they get the updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] #1n00b:
I thought Dark theme only saves battery life on certain screens. Is the screen on our phone that kind of screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Willielf:
No its not.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
What kind of scren? IPS? Or any screen that has the pixel turn-off technology? I don't think a lot of phones have that now. They have to have individual instruction to turn off black pixels.

Peach Sunrise

Hi all. I've been lurking for awhile trying to learn how to root, etc. on the Galaxy Exhibit. I've tried to do my due diligence before posting. But now I'm stuck with a TB problem that I can't solve. Here is brief summary of my actions over the past two days.

Flashed CWM from stock recovery, did Nandroid backup from CWM, rooted phone with jocala stock root from CWM. Ran for a day or so, no problems. Got TB pro, did full back up. Froze lots o crap, uninstalled more crap. No problems. So, I decided to take next step and flash Peach Sunrise 3.01 (after ROMwipe, data wipe, cache wipe).

Everything goes swimmingly well UNTIL I try to restore anything from Titanium Backup. Once I try to restore from TB, I'm getting FCs like crazy, and/or UID error. I've tried all kinds of combinations, I've followed several "how to's" from this forum. I've tried doing it where I restore the UID, or ignore it. Either way I have problems in TB once I start restoring anything (even just user app data). It's almost like my TB backup is corrupt or something. I'm on my 7th or 8th flash of Peach Sunrise and getting frustrated. The last attempt in TB, I ended up in an endless loop of reboots, finally had to just pull the battery.

I'm tempted to go back and restore from Nandroid and start the whole thing over again. Something went haywire along the way with TB and I can't figure it out. I really like PS and TB and really want this to work! Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] theAPANT:
Maybe try fixing permissions in recovery, its under advanced
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] LifeIsPain:
Thanks, I'll try that. Right now I can't boot because of the UID error. I have to wipe data partition, so I'll fix perms while I'm in there and see if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
I kept reading your post and said "ok, yes, yes.. yess..." because that's the same route I have taken, until the moment where you said you tried to recover from backups. I think it is important to think about what kind of apps you were trying to recover. I would seriously consider not to recover stuff back into peach sunrise, and just do a clean install.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] LifeIsPain:
That's the route I'm thinking of going. Whatever set up I had will just have to go by the wayside. I want to use TB, but it seems apparent that trying to restore from TB into Peach Sun is causing problems. I've done a complete clean install and I'm restoring Apps from the Market. Question now is: How do I wipe TB and start over with that? Is it as easy as removing the TB directory on my external sd, or is there more to it?

Or better, can I completely remove all previous TB data and reinstall? It still contains all my history, including entries for all the stuff I uninstalled previously.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
You can use TB to delete the backup data individually for each app, if you just delete the directory I am not sure how will TB react, maybe it is expected to handle something like that, but I am sure you can just delete the backup's and remove TB

While we are on the topic, I have a question about Safe To Remove list.

All those are listed in .apk, but from TB it doesn't list by .apk, instead lists the app names, how do I know which ones are which, or which ones are safe to remove?

I need to get rid of crapware.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] LifeIsPain:
Funny, I've had the same questions. I've been googling the App name to find the corresponding .apk as needed. I did a full back up of all Apps and data, including system apps. Now, that seems like it was dumb to do, because I don't see a batch "undo" of all those back ups. If I have to remove each back up entry manually it will take the rest of the night (there are hundreds). Thanks for your thoughts and help!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jrleathers:
Ya...I don't think u want to restore data from TB. Just restore app no data.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] LifeIsPain:
thanks guys. that is quite a list! I've been pouring over the apps for the past two days, that is one reason I decided to go to Peach because it's already debloated. There are only a few things left that I might remove. when I was stock/root, I had much success "freezing" apps and making sure they didn't cause issues, then when I felt confident I removed them. But now with Peach Sunrise most of the crap is gone. I successfully restored my contacts and SMS data from TB. Apparently restoring the "green" system apps (data only) is safe. I've been restoring one at a time, with a reboot after each one and so far no FCs and no crash. I'm nervous to do anything else. It seems stable for now. If I have to manually redo some settings, oh well. I'm happy with Peach. It's definitely an upgrade in performance (battery not so good so far, but I've been on it all day). I wish I had more answers for you on what to keep and what to throw away, but I think it just takes some time and experimenting. Freeze first (if you have that option).

If anyone has the answer on how to safely remove (wipe) Titanium Backup from the system please holla! I'm off to titaniumtrack dot com to do some more reading.

Thanks everyone.

I have done factory reset many times and no problems here.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jrleathers:
Currently on Ehndroix, but have also done factory resets on slimbean, cm10, peach, and maybe some others (can't remember). Im using TWRP recovery and wipe as much stuff as I can when flashing a new rom as I want a clean start. The only time I did a factory reset on cwm was when I went from jocalas rooted kernal with my stock rom to peach sunrise. I just make sure I have a rom and a nandroid on my ext sd before I do any wiping, and obviously I don't wipe my ext sd. Now If you are talking about factory resets in conjunction with unrooting then I shouldve kept my mouth shut as I've never unrooted.

EDIT: I suppose bricking is possible by doing anything of this stuff to your phone. I'm sure most of us are aware that most devs always mention in OP's that they arent responsible for anything that may go wrong.
