[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssojyeti2:
Hey everyone, I've modded the app Device Frame Generator by f2prateek to include an Evo 4G LTE template to place screenshots on. All credit goes to f2prateek for the app, I have just slightly modified it.

some screenshots made with the app...

Download it here

The screenshots save to gallery automatically after the preview is generated, so need to take a screenshot of the screenshot

In the future I may be able to add more devices, if I am provided with a large enough phone template (height around 1700 px)​

Post that blue globe wallpaper if you have it. I'm liking it. Great job btw.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssojyeti2:
Where's my bluetooth:rolleyes:

:p

Wallpaper is part of one of pneuma's bootanimations so it's only 720x1280 so you can't use it on a rom with scrolling wallpaper. Not sure if he's released it yet though...

Here it is nonetheless lol:

[MENTION=3570510]ssojyeti2[/MENTION], Hey man, I got the one from your post on the HTCone forum the other day. Its version3.1 i think? whats the difference between them, just curious. The one from the One forum works on the LTE btw. Thanks man:cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssojyeti2:
The app in the one forum contains both templates for the Evo lte and the HTC one but the one here only contains templates for the Evo lte
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
Cool, dude this is a straight awesome app. much better than just adding a screenshot. Great work

*Information IS the most dangerous weapon of all*
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssojyeti2:
Thank f2prateek for the app;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
Lol, searched f2prateek and hit the thanks button in all of his threads. I thanked the dude like 12 times. Still think you should get som for bringing it to our forum. Later,,,:cool:,,,

I'm rooted and am trying to mount the system to remove bloatware apps... However everytime Titanium Backup removes it and I reboot it's still there...

Anyone have any ideas?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
System is protected: you can't modify it while the phone is booted. You'll have to make a zip or whatever to delete it in recovery.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
You have to be kidding me...

I've spent all day long trying to root this bastard phone and that didn't work then I managed it and now I can't disable, remove any apps ?

So much for HTC being dev friendly
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
It seriously took you all day to root? What went wrong?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillTheCat:
Did you try just freezing the app instead?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
The recovery flashed but wouldnt boot :(, managed to get round it when i discovered POB with his superboot :) Thank god for the desire C

Then i realised that i couldnt flash anything because I manged to install 6.0.2.8 as a boot img, and 6.0.3.0 as a proper recovery.

Then i didnt have any files on the device to flash :( boohoo :( so i managed to get ADB sideload working through the AIO One Toolkit... And managed to flash AHRD :) finally getting a working device,

As you see Im a seasoned vet at these things but the HTC One has been the first device that has stumped me....

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

The apps issue is not unkwown for HTC however they havent done this for a while.... Back with the G2 they did exactly the same thing and yes ive frozen them but there should be away to remove system apps for us through root.... But i cant remember how, Throwing it into ADB Shell and requesting SU along with a Remount works fine but still would like to remove the apps.

Im also looking for someone with a locked phone... (Sim Locked) i have a theory and it worked on the Desire C :) Anyone wanna help?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnavengers:
Delete the apps with titanium and power off the phone. Don't do a restart.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
Already tried that ^_^
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
You need to flash a custom kernel with a modified ramdisk to disable system protection :) Without doing that you're like deleting an app on windows with deepfreeze on it :p
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compact_bijou:
Is that the only solution?

There are so many bloated useless and intrusive (cr)apps on this phone it's unbelievable.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Other solution is boot in recovery and delete it there. Either thru adb while in recovery mode, flashable zip or through file manager(if you're using TWRP). Other than that nope :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
Hmmm I'm thinking adb through recovery here but how do I got about doing this?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogdobber:
the joys of a s-on devices:(

read up on adb commands...

or use the zip I attached and edit line 18 in this format with the apps you want to get rid of, use a file explorer to get the proper names.

make a backup first in case you mess up something

delete("/system/app/xxxxx.apk", "/system/app/xxxx.odex", "/data/app/xxxxx.apk");
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
The best way to remove apps in recovery is through adb:

adb shell
sysrw
rm /system/app/abc.apk
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limx:
the simple way is ROM CLEANER, but isn't available yet for the One.

cheers
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
type the following commands.

adb shell
su
cd /system/app/
ls
rm <insert the name of the apk you want to delete here which can be found in the list shown by the ls command>
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
I dont have a One, and dont plan on having one (ever, thanks to this thread! I think I'll stick to Sony, they have instructions to unlocking bootloader on their official website)

BUT, if the system is locked, it should be locked trough ADB too, so I guess what I'd try is install busybox, custom recovery, go into recovery, connected it to the PC (or a mac, but since we're on no-apple forum, I'll assume PC), mounting system there and doing your thing.

You can install busybox and custom recovery right?

Edit: never mind, I should really learn to read. Sometimes I think I'm dyslexic a little, just for words, not letters.

I did not see the 'recovery' part mentioned.

Anywho, mounting system is what you forgot, so at least I said something helpful :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
All Wonderful Ideas folks, however i had a go at this last night, it was a fricking nightmare even mounting ADB through recovery :(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogdobber:
grab that zip i posted and add the apks...simple

then just flash that from recovery.

If you cant get it, post what apks you want removed and I will upload a zip to get rid of them
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
Meh lol... im not going to risk scripting this lol ... i did this one before with nasty consequences... :( ,

I want kid mode gone, stocks gone, trim gone, Watch gone :) pretty much thats it,

in your script, just so i clarify all the xxx are replaced with the apk file name? and also i copy the line once for every app i want to remove? :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
HTC has instructions too? :confused:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
The zip didnt work at all and gets a failed install :(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
Even installing ARHD didn't work with the boot image...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogdobber:
like I said before, post the app name that you want to install and I will make the zip.

but you are going to have to use a file explorer then go to system/app to tell me the exact names and capitalization as I have already removed a bunch of them
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
Very well, so it does.

I'll still stick to sony, if nothing else because of this thread.

Although I do like the <5" screen size on the One, this whole 5" obsession is not to my likings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
Hey all,

This just a conversation to get me to finally bite the bullet and finally root and install a ROM.

With all the delays or possible cancelations of JB on my i717, I have just about convinced myself to root and installation a rom. Avatar is looking good.

I have been using the go launcher and all its sub systems: phone, IM, twitter all the stuff so I need to figure out to remove all the go replace sub components. Is there a panel on one of the releases that makes this easy?

So do yous guys still think the i717 will still get an official 717 update?

Also, if looks like jb will remove the ability to move apps to the sd. At lease it did on my note 10.1. Think they will do the same if they release jb on the 717?

I read through all the fans and understand backup the IMs, data, contacts. What about apps (I have a ton and chagrin having reinstall

So first root, use titanium backup and then install a ROM? Also what is a modem? Usually I am familiar with the term as in phone interface. What is modem rom for?

Thoughts and answers welcome!

Thanks for everyone time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
+1 vote for root!

I bet the original note gets a JB update. But I also bet the Note 3 will be out by then and Note 2 people will be begging for their key lime pie!!!

It doesn't matter what phone your on, your always going to be waiting for an update of some sort. So why wait... root it! It unlocks SO much potential in these phones. I've been flashing roms for years and love it! I've never had any problems because I've always done a lil research on software out there and followed the directions to a TEE! Since you're new at this I will direct you to this thread. Read the first 3 posts. They will answer 90% of your questions, especially post 3. Once your schooled and brain has cooled a lil, this is basically what you gotta do to get started.

So happy reading and rooting!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
Thanks very much for the opinion, advice and experience!

Reading now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
For the remaining 10% off your questions not found in those threads or searching, feel free to ask!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
You don't need root permission to flash a recovery, a custom rom, or a different modem.

But with regards to rooting, its not like you're climbing Mt. Everest naked without oxygen. Its a two minute project.

And you only need to root if there is some app or some system action you need to do that having a stock system won't allow.

If you're undecided, then you don't need to do it. Those that need to just do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
That's true except for one product line.

NEXUS DEVICES

Even the nexus s, that was released with the debut of GINGERBREAD is officially supported by Google with a 4.2.2 firmware of its own.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
What about being to move apps to sd?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
Once rooted you will have the ability to move apps to sd card using a separate app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PrincessKiwi:
^that

and also you can remove applications placed by the phone company that sometimes only eat some of the battery, even if you never even open them!

You can remove ad banners off the browser as well! saving data if you are not on unlimited plan(like myself)

hmm.. personally i root because of that reason, the ad blocking on the browser(i don't mind them on the apps unless they're sketching apps)

2nd reason would be being able to use the app named "autostarts" which controls the autorun's of any app on your phone! Wisely used, you can stop user apps from restarting themselves and such, just never use on system apps:) and that means more ram and more battery :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
Maybe it isn't climbing Everest, but I do rely on my phone and in turn I need it reliable. Lockups and waiting for reboots is a worry.

I need apps to work at least 95 percent of the time. I understand and occasionally sunspot caused glitch is acceptable but should be occasional. So yes, I do worry about my constant companion.

I am not just talking about rooting but finding the right ROM which will make my phone more usable and more reliable than the At&t stock rom, just trying to find the right one and install it right the first time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
Your advice, wisdom and time are heeded and appreciated! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PrincessKiwi:
the best part is it is very easy to do! even a silly girl like me could root and do all this "mt everest" stuff ehehe its very simple!

and really nothing bad will happen to your phone and i assume you take good care of it :highfive:

i dont evne mind those warrantys things, i take care of my androids as i would a pet or something :eek:

and make sure they come in good state and all when out of the box

:rolleyes:

when i had my first android some years ago i softbricked it and cried! on my first attempt.. because i skipped one step(NEVER SKIP A STEP) but then i saw there's solution to everything.. unless it exploded or something :D but that never happens yay :victory:

and now i feel these things are useless without root permissions.. it's the first thing i do the moment i get them and come back home! :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
You don't need a rooted phone to install roms. Just a PC, cable, and Odin software.

What you could possibly need is to install a custom recovery like TWRP. That is WAY more important that worrying about rooting your phone. Why? Because you could install roms from your phone and skip the PC. All non-stock roms are already rooted.

You have 16gigs of internal memory for apps - thats like about 200 apps, so you don't need to move them to external sd card.

What you should do is make sure all those apps store their data on the external card. Then you have protected your data and kept your memory for apps.

What app/process you you need to do that requires root permission of your file system? Every concern you mentioned has nothing to do with root permisions of your file system.

Maybe your question should be "Why should I flash non-stock roms over the stock Gingerbread I have now? A Conversation"

---------- Post added at 07:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 AM ----------

And my answer is use the latest N7005 ICS ROM because it is rooted, has no carrier apps installed and is fast and smooth, and since it is stock, everything functions correctly.

If you want dependable, don't go past 4.04 ICS ROMs, because above that, the ROMs come from other phones and developers have to squeeze them into our phone. The result is random reboots, freezing, main features not working (TV out, s-pen, Bluetooth connectivity issues, to name a few main ones).

Everyone else is going to argue to defend their reason for what they did to their phone -- I answered based on your stated needs.

Good luck, I hope you get your phone to a place you're satisfied with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlackZenith:
How do make apps store data on the ext card while keeping those apps internal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
Thanks for the advice, one of the reasons I am looking at upgrading is I also want google now which only cones with jb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
That's a good reason. But our JB ROMs are the result of great effort and professionalism from our developers, but they are experimental and have issues. So to gain some features, you will definitely lose some.

I have been using 4.1.# then 4.2.2 and I think I'm going back to the N7005 ROM because I miss the features I bought the phone for. Anyway, as someone said, read and decide what the tradeoffs are, and you can always go backwards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
Ok, decided to go with Kangparanoid rom... Right now I have a stock unrooted ROM. What is the best way to create a perfect backup of what I have now to restore current state.

Also is there an easy way to restore all my apps (include what's been moved to my external sd card) post jb upgrade?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
Nice rom choice! I'm actually using it right now!!

I vote for titanium backup to backup all your stuff. I use the pro version so I can't remember if you can move apps to sd card in the free version or not. Once you open titanium you have it backup EVERYTHING! It will backup your apps, call logs, text messages, wifi passwords, bookmarks, alarms, etc..... Do this on your phone now. Then root your phone and make a nandroid backup in recovery. Install your rom and sign into your phone using the same gmail acct you had previously. You'll find that most of your apps will begin to reinstall themselves. Once you got titanium on your new rom installed open it but do not, I repeat do NOT restore everything! Titanium backs up system files that shouldn't be restored because they were from your previous rom. Just click individual apps that you want to restore. Titanium color codes everything nicely. System files are red and mean business! Apps installed already are white. Your call logs and messages will be yellow. Those you can restore. Backed up apps not installed will have a line thru them. I've been using titanium for years since android 1.5 came out. So it works on any rom!

Happy rooting and flashing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
Thank you Thank you! I have had titanium backup for year but only on an old tablet that I can't do anything with anymore. It's rooted but no roms available for it.

Thought I would have to root the phone before I could back it up, but will follow you plan.

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
Titanium is restricted a lil till you root. It can't restore certain files because it won't have permission without root. It should be able to backup all your stuff for ya though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Honestly, when you change ROM bases you should let the market install your apps, rather than using a backed up app. If you use TiBU, do not restore anything that says system or data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
Honestly that's what I just said! Thanks for reconfirming!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
It is actually saying that it will not work till I do root.

Ok then, reading root instructions it says I need Odin and a rooted ROM, since I am going to put on paranoid Kang, do I have to load a ROM twice?

Also won't rooting blow away my data which I want ti backup for? Sorry if I am not getting this.

Sorry I go into the non+counter rooting. I think I have it now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
Nandroid backup? Is this a feature of ti backup?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
No, that's a backup made in a custom recovery.

Either cwm or twrp

It backs up, the /data /cache and /system partitions. I haven't done one in quite some time can't recall if the kernel is backed up for sure or not, I know the modem is not.

So if you flash a Rom that's not to your liking, just restore the nandroid
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
Found it, thanks all.

Most problem I had was the first hit in Google on rooting i717 said to hold down volume up, power, home which doesn't work. It took one of the YouTube videos to give me volume down power to get download mode.

After installing the i717 root I found backup/restore and backed up to Sd.

All is good now.

Never going back to at&t and/or Samsung again. Came to that conclusion when realized that jb from Samsung means no app to sd ability. Why Samsung takes away that ability is beyond me.

Even if they finally do release a JB, if will wait for the developers to make their own version from here on out.

Thanks for all the help, you all have been awesome!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] L1bertin3:
On that note ... I think my next phone's gonna be a Nexus :good:

But in the mean time I'm hoping Samsung will update the Note with JB. It would be a shame if the update doesn't get rolled out on the original device.

But then again .... This is after all "Samsung". I thought they've been known for under-supporting legacy devices.

As for OP ... Root it. You'll be glad you did. You don't have to flash Custom ROM unless you want to. But definitely root the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
It's not Samsung, the N-7000 (the international version) has jellybean

The way updates work in the west is different than Europe, here is really really really really stupid.

In Europe, Samsung makes and distributes the firmware. Done.

Here and Canada, Samsung makes the firmware and pushes it to the carriers to then add their crapware to and decide if It's "viable to update" which...most of the time the carrier wants you to sign that new contract for a discount a new device... so updating a phone that already has a successor, why would they want you to enjoy your phone when it's almost time to upgrade anyway?...

So sad....

Once this mad dash hardware race crashes, which it will... people can't afford the new bleeding edge every month. I suspect older devices remaining supported longer.

I mean....android itself isn't far enough along to properly utilize a quad core, not to mention app devs not knowing how to code for multi-threading....

So maybe...just maybe, people will stop buying new devices, take a stand to collectively say "The hardware I have is more than adequate...give me software"

But we are still a niche market...go up to a normal person with an android and ask them which android version they're on. I doubt they would know.
