[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] msavic6:
So you basically disabled half the features of the phone and some at&t apps? Why do you consider SNote and Group Play to be bloat ware? I consider carrier added apps bloat ware, not manufacturer added apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Baldilocks:
I didn't disable SNote. I don't need any of the other Samsung features at this point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cl_l:
Just got mine today. I don't really notice any lag between opening apps and going to home (except maybe that quarter second lag to get to home even though i disabled svoice). Honestly I don't see why people are being so overly dramatic and saying they're going to sell the phone instead of enjoying the fantastic hardware they have in their hands... I'm sure when more people get their hands on the S4 root will quickly become available.

I'm coming from an S2 which is why I might love this phone so much but honestly... give it time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ama3654:
i'm sure the lag and stutter will soon be ironed out with software update, S3 was the same when Jelly bean was initially released, subsequent updates took care of that. The S4 has 4.2.2 first test firmwares, give it sometime and a few updates before coming to conclusions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RaptorMD:
Nothing is perfect and iOS isn't either. Look how many updates they have pushed out this year and in rapid succession for security bugs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] phositadc:
At least they push out updates rapidly. Seems like android bugs will frequently be discovered but it somehow takes 6-8 months to get an update to fix a relatively simple one, because there are 50 million different android devices, and the update schedule is dictated by 1000 different carriers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RaptorMD:
True and that is the trade off with so many different OEM's chip sets and carrier bloat ware. Google could have forced it another way but its open sourced OS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fukenbiker:
disabling

I was going to disable them like you did and I noticed the warning that "other apps may not work properly" or have errors. Being as you did this, I'd like a report. Do you see any difference at all, having disabled them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] freebee269:
i know with the AT&T apps, disabling or uninstalling them you will get that warning, but they dont affect the performance of your phone in a negative way when you delete the apk's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RaptorMD:
The ATT crapware is priority #1 for disabling and removal when possible via root. The other apps I will do on a case by case basis.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] phositadc:
It's been almost 48 hours and I haven't had any issues at all. So I think it's safe to disable everything shown in my op. As always your mileage may vary.

Agree, works way better.

Btw awesome title. Makes me laugh every time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] phositadc:
It accurately describes my reaction as I scrolled through the "all apps" list for the first time and saw that it was about a mile long (and nearly vomited as a result).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aou:
I would really like to see a comprehensive list of bloatware applications on the stock rom. Something as simple as:

App Name ....... filename.apk ......... Safe to Remove (green/yellow/red) .......... Description

If someone has enough spare time in their day to create an ongoing list like this, that would likely be the best way to approach this bloatware epidemic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fate2doom:
Love the reaction. lol. Fitting title.

Damn that's some crazy bloatwares.

That was alot I just froze on TB, hope nothing messes up. Cant wait for a clean rom :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
I consider most of the Samsung apps as bloat..

Do I really need Google Books and Samsung Books? Do I need Google Music and Samsung Music? How about Google Play and Samsung Apps, Samsung Games?

These are WTF apps --> Com2uSPoker, BlurbCheckout, Match3VS..

This phone is LOADED to the hilt with junk..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] phositadc:
I agree... shocking, really. If I wanted any of this garbage, Samsung should just let me download it from the freaking play store.... don't force it down my throat and prevent me from even deleting it!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ap3604:
Has anyone actually rooted their phone and uninstalled the bloat? :confused:

In stock form the S4 has a measly 9 gb available (out of 16 gb)... how much space is available once you uninstall the bloatware?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cybershawngates:
suprisingly from what I can tell none of this bloatware includes any kind of app if your phone gets lost? I'm installing lookout but turning off the malware stuff since 4.2.2 android has built in malware protection. Someone needs to a create a bloatware disabler app for those of us that don't want to install a custom rom.

well guys, my name is Jose Hernandez, I come from T-mobile Galaxy S2 (please don't hate me) hehe... saturday I will get my AT&T HTC One X, and I wanna know which is the best ROM at the moment, I was looking at Viper and CleanRom... Which u recommend? :good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Well there is no best ROMs. It is all preference. Also, saying what is the best ROM is against the rules. I suggest looking in the development sections and scrolling thru. No one here is going to tell you what to flash. If you like viper just five it go. If you want clean ROM then flash it.

A perfect example is the fact I stopped liking sense, but you may still want to stick with it. Get my point?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nighthawk1991:
well, maybe sense doesn't a problem, but by the fact I come from an AOSP Rom could be a little different, but I wanna give a try to sense, I didn't have a Sense Rom since a long time ago, when I had my lady (Inspire 4G) hehe well, I will try a sense Rom first then An AOSP... :good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Well there you go. Try out different ROMs and give it a twirl. If you dont like it, go back to the drawing board. Simple as that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Braxton355:
Viper is my favorite. But you have A LOT of options. It depends on if you like AOSP or sense. We have it all.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Actually, unless you're getting a phone that's already rooted, you don't need to worry about this for now, since there is no root for new phones on jelly bean.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Could be off of eBay or Craig's list. It may even have the 1.85 firmware. But if it is coming from AT&T, most likely it will have 3.18
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] orb3000:
No such "best ROM"

What is best for me may not be for you, test several and decide your pesonal best; said that thread closed.
[One (M7) General] djbutter:
I just got it yesterday (dev edition on Tmo), and I gotta say it's awesome. I love it.

Switching from an n4 with stock android was surprisingly not as big an issue as I thought it would be. HTC Sense actually works quite well. This was my biggest concern.

Also, little has been said of the phone as a music player. Using my LG Tone+ BT headphones, the sound is absolutely stellar! By far the best sound on a phone I've ever heard, and that includes the iPhone. Aptx Bluetooth sound is crystal clear and truly amazing. My headphones sound nowhere near as nice when paired with my n4.
[One (M7) General] treoreloaded:
Congrats on your phone. Enjoy it. It sure is a sick phone:)
[One (M7) General] Sodalitas:
Congratulations on your new One! Happy days ahead :) I went from HTC Desire HD > Galaxy Nexus > HTC One, and I have to say Sense feels much more pared down now, and it didn't take very long for me to adjust away from vanilla Android.
[One (M7) General] EnIXmA:
Same here guys, coming from Galaxy nexus and nexus 4. This device is so freaking awesome. Sense is pretty good too, didn't have a hard time switching from stock vanilla android

Hello everyone,

I have a stable (but not perfect) CWM Recovery for Huawei U8730 (T-Mobile MyTouch Q by Huawei), no random reboot at all and combo key to boot into recovery.

It might work on Huawei U8680 (Huawei MyTouch).

download link : http://www.mediafire.com/download/5t1odtgo5vwt12p/recovery.img

to install it, boot your device into download mode (pink screen) by pressing "volume up and down + power"

put the recovery.img downloaded before in your image folder to replace your original recovery.img

pull out the battery and replace it

boot your device by pressing "volume up + power" and you must be in recovery mode.

navigate : volume keys

validate : photo key

return : power key

Thanks to mattlgroff for his base and Tomm13b for his help to debug the recovery.

Now it's time to unbrick some device and start to build custom rom ;)

PS : backup option only save system

new version available but still have system mounted and can't be unmounted, wipe work

If someone can take a look,go go

Pardon me for sounding like an idiot, but how do I put the new recovery in that folder? Do I have to use adb or should I have some drive appear on my computer when I plug the phone in via usb?

I believe I've found the issue. When I plug my phone into the computer it lists as an unknown device under usb devices in device manager. I cannot get the drivers to work, thus preventing my computer from accessing the phone. Do you know where I can get the correct drivers.

I've found the drivers from Huawei. I installedthem, even rebooted my computer, yet the phone still appears as an "unknown device" any suggestions? Also, if the recovery becomes damaged when I update it, will the phone be able to boot normally without a recovery? If so, I have a workaround method to change the recovery without using my computer at all.

Remove the battery, then try again.

I did this within the Android OS using root browser. I still get the pink screen when I boot into recovery. Is that supposed to happen or did it not work properly?

I hope you guys don't mind a quick question!

Recently, I rooted my 8730. Through the use of titanium backup, I got rid of the Genius Search. I restored it, rebooted the phone and now I'm stuck in a boot loop, where the phone boots up, gets right up to the little android guy flying upwards, then restarts.

First, I tried booting through the use of the power button + volume up, but even though I factory reset my phone, it'd still be stuck on the loop. I tried going the download route, replacing the image and using the CWM recovery in order to factory reset my phone, even going as far as replacing the whole image folder.

Is there anything that I can do?

Thanks a bunch for the patience and help!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Skooty:
So I take this, put it in the root of the SD card, access CWM and choose "Apply update from .zip"? When I do, it says "Finding update package, Opening update package, Installing update, Installation aborted"

Is there anything I can do to get around the abortion?

Also, if I try power + volume up/down to go straight to the software upgrade, it unpacks it fine, but right as it gets to the installation part it fails as well. :(

Thank you so much for the link, by the way!

Huh, maybe it's because while rooted, I uninstalled a handful of bloatware, like twitter/amazon mp3/genius search and a handful of other things. I backed them up, but unfortunately that doesn't count for much anymore!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Skooty:
Just reporting back here!

I ended up fixing it by using a firmware upgrade 2.3. I took out my SD card, put it into a USB adapter, downloaded the 2.3 firmware (I can't post links, please feel free to send me a message for the link),put the dload folder for that firmware to the root of the SD card, held volume up/down + power button and forced an upgrade.

For those trying to fix the u8730 like me, there's a very specific firmware for it, it wasn't even in the manufacturer site. So again, please feel free to send me a message for it! In case I don't respond, in rapidshare, the title of the firmware is:

It really should be of better build quality for $400. Or it should be at least $100 cheaper. I have the 10.1 and it feels OK, not terribly cheap but not of high quality.
