Anyone?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meboy:
What you are talking about we would call this boot into recovery I believe. It's likely throwing people a bit.

Usually on Samsung devices it would be power, volume up and home.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRevilatioNx:
That's it! Thank you ?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgibbons:
Recovery - Turn on the tablet holing the power + volume up + home button

Download - Turn on the tablet holding the power + volume down + home button
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRevilatioNx:
What is download used for?

The "Cold Boot" on the Asus Transformers... Had recovery options but you can also hard clean the cache files. That couldn't be done by app or the device itself.

Hello Guys,

A month ago I raised one thread here unfortunately no answer I received. Anyway the problem exactly is the following:

If I'm using the 2g mode of my TytN manually I can use a normal path-trough 9.6kB/sec dial in connection. If I'm using the Auto GSM network usage mode which use the 3G mode than I can't use the same connection type....

Do you believe it is the bug of the TytN or it is a provider trouble????
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] SecureGSM:
CSD has not been made available by carriers on 3G networks. Therefore to use CSD, please swith your 3G capable device to 2G mode manualy.

This is valid for all 3G devicers, not only for TyTN.

see this page for details:

http://www.securegsm.com/pages.php?pageid=85

hope it helps.

Also, unfortunately some new HTC devices completelly lacking option for receiving incoming CSD call. We are in touch with HTC but it does not looks like that HTC willing for this issue to be resolved in near future.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djshotty:
What would be most helpful is if - along with the list - a brief description of what the app or service does. This will make it a lot easier for an individual user to choose to keep or throw 'Application X'...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
So what are you waiting for? [emoji12]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djshotty:
No need to be rude about my request. For the next three days I have my daughter staying with me, so researching each individual component of Kit Kat 4.4.2 won't be high on my list of priorities I'm afraid. Once I have her back to school I'll get right on it, scouts honour! :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Not being rude, trying to encourage people to add to the community rather than asking for other people to do things. I know your just suggesting it, but besides the straight forward apk's we all know, like amazon, any of us would have to research and take a lot of time to add descriptions. It's a good idea, one i think we could all collaborate on, including you and me. I'll add some tonight when i get home from work if [MENTION=5349944]calebcabob[/MENTION] agrees to all of this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djshotty:
Click on the link in my sig to the Helper Post I wrote out for the i9100 on all things except KK, and you can see for yourself I'm not exactly a basic user. I'm also Microsoft Certified as a Technical Specialist for Xp, Vista and Seven. Thing is, I've only had 4.4.2 in my hands for three days, after buying a i9505 on Tuesday. My apologies for thinking of the n00bs of the world - along with myself - and for hoping someone with more experience with KK on a LTE device may be of assistance...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I didn't say you were a noob at all, i said i thought you had a good idea and we could all collaborate on the project. A majority of that list has been bloatware since ICS, no need for kitkat experience. I also said i would help and add a few things starting tonight, as I hope others do too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Haha right
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djshotty:
Kit Kat on LTE is a different dessert - from the quick tour I've taken over the last couple of days I notice a lot of changes under the bonnet. All good, I'll get onto it after I've had my access weekend with my daughter and present a Helper Post similar to what I've done for the i9100...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Ok, yeah - let's do it! I agree and had the initial intension of including descriptions along with the apk names. However, once I realised just HOW MUCH TIME that would have taken (haha), I sorta lost the ambition to follow through. But seeing how several of you have agreed to contribute to the leg-work, I'd be more than willing to help out too! This'll really spice up the usefulness of this thread!:)

Ok, so I guess I'll set a couple of guidelines in order to make this a smooth process...

First, maybe we can each claim a section of the list by alphabetical order (someone take A-D, another E-H, etc) - you decide how much you'd be willing to take on.

And secondly, I guess just try to keep your descriptions brief, while also being informative!!

How's this all sound? Anybody else have any other ideas to add in order to make this smooth process? Thanks to everyone who is willing to collaborate!!:) :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djshotty:
Agreed. Its like just then, I looked through the list of system apps using Jumobile's System App Remover and found a way to release the annoying widget screen that pops up behind the glass of the Samsung S-View Cover. Unless a user is at the level of yourself, joshm.1219 and I its pretty difficult to determine whether it's a good idea to delete 'com.sec.android.app.wfdbroker' (for example). Give me a few days, then I'll focus my full attention onto it. Cheers! :D

By the way, voila! 500 posts! Yay to me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
I'll take S-Z!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Right, but this is all going to be ultimately up to the user to decide...BUT I think you bring up a good point too, so maybe I can color-code the "riskier" ones in red...While the others are another color...or something like that. If you guys know of any that can be risky to delete, please mention it:) I admit that I don't know what half of these REALLY do, except that I've just learned on my own from trial and error, and of course some research.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Ill take a-d for now, maybe more when i get a chance looking like a busy weekend though lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Ha, I hear ya! I may not have my section done until mid next week. I'll definitely do what I can though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ruslanguns:
May i ask you something?

Firstable, Thank you for your thread. Let me explain, I am from Nicaragua i bought a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4 for a year ago... I would love to delete some factory apps who lock the posibility of dial to * numbers to my local service provider for balance request and others inquiries, because Verizon take these request itself. Likewise me a message saying that my sim is not Verizon, and I have to force close the app to not show up on my notification bar.

Do you know what apps should I delete to avoid these drawbacks ?. Any help, thank you very much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
You NEED to have Root Access in order for this to work...If I'm understanding you correctly, you should delete "My Verizon" and see if that solves your problem. If I am not understanding you, please try to explain your question another way. Maybe you should upload a screenshot of your problem.

However, you should also go to Settings>More>About Phone and tell me the last 3 digits of your build number...if it is MDK, this will make this whole process much easier. So, in other words, this is what you should do...download NoBloat Free and find My Verizon in that list and disable/freeze it. Then try dialing your *number, see if that worked! If it doesn't, look for your build number like I described above. Then repost your question with more details...do you have root access? Which build are you on? Which ROM are you on? (Stock? Custom?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ruslanguns:
I am rooted and with the stock rom, I am attaching you the screenshots of my build, the MMI error message when I dial to * numbers, and the backed up apps (these apps are already deleted at all) with NoBloat Free.

Let me know if you figure out it.

By the way, I did not find the My Verizon app in the list.

And thank you for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Strange, I haven't seen that error before. Are you aware of THIS app being available? It may be a much more convenient workaround... Too bad it isn't free:/

The screenshots you posted are helpful, however, can u please install this free app, Phone Info and tell me what it says your BUILD NUMBER is. Screenshot is fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ruslanguns:
Does it works for you? Hope it does.

If I'm not wrong the Verizon App you're recommending me is for check the plan usage with only Verizon, is not? Since I'm using Claro as my operator in Nicaragua I won't show me the info about my data or any other usage since I don't have Verizon sim in my phone.

If it does worth to buy this app just to fix my trouble with my current operator with MMI alls or USSD request I will purchase this app without doubt.

If you need more screenshots I will lovely sent by PM.

Thank you again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ruslanguns:
I forgot the screenshot. Sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djshotty:
Thing is, too, towelroot and other similar methods of 'rooting' don't seem to be working on kernel builds newer than the June 4.2.2 updates to Samsung Stock ROMs. Don't worry, geohot assures me he's working on it, with a new release of his awesome app. due out within the next couple of weeks...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
Here's a titanium backup filter for most/all of the samsung bloat I have frozen. This was derived from a stock nc5 rom.

Make a backup of your current custom file in /data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/databases/

Extract the contents of the attached file into the above folder, relaunch TB. Under filters you'll see an entry called frozen.

Select that, then apply. Now freeze which ever of those apps/services you don't use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SkinnyHusky:
I removed a few of these and my screen rotation stopped working

Yesterday I uninstalled a few of these apps (using Titanium Backup). Later I noticed that my screen rotation doesn't work anymore. I can still press the navigation bar icon and it lights up, but the screen no longer rotates. Any idea which app caused this problem?

Would the easiest solution be to just do a nandroid restore (I just backed up a few days ago) or Titanium Backup restore?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
You're the first to report this happening. I removed all of these and never had any issues. Ok, so try this… Go into titantium and see which ones you had uninstalled/freezed and post the list of them here. Use the filter option on the top right part of the app view screen… you may find it easiest to just check off the options to view whats frozen and unisnstalled. Then in the app list view, hit the sorting option (top left) and organize by last modified...and post the list here.

I'm not sure that any of these are going to be directly related to screen rotation… we'll see. Do you have xposed installed? You could always use wanam and just check off the option to rotate all views if none of these system apps you uninstalled or had freezed are the culprit. Cuz in that case, Wanam Xposed will at least help you to gain the screen rotation feature back I'd say.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xxxtncxxx:
That's cool but our Rom version will have differences compared to the 9505 (I am pretty sure we are in the vzw forum, if not pls forgive me it's sometimes hard to your in the wrong forum on my phone), for the most part its same but there are plenty of carrier related SW that differs from model to model. That is the stuff I really consider bloat.

Also I think there should be separate lists for specific Rom builds, this way we are not comparing apples and oranges. So freezing app X on Rom Y may work fine, but freezing app X on Rom Z may cause issues. Forgive me if I am not making sense just think that's an easy way to prevent issues and whatnot.

Anyways gr8 work its nice to see people still doing the little things in the community, that's what makes XDA what it is.

Delete via Root Explorer?

Hi guys,

I'm a little late to this party; but I had a question about deleting these apps. Can we remove them via Root Explorer, or do we have to do this via a command line app on the phone? I'm rooted BTW and running 4.2.2

There's a few 'System App. Remover' apps on Play Store, all of them pretty much do the same job, just a case of personal preference...

Screen rotation

If you have issues with screen rotation, it's because of Samsung Hub. My screen stopped rotating after I uninstalled a bunch of Samsung Apps. After poking around online for a while I found out screen rotation is somehow linked to the Samsung Hub app. I reinstalled Hub, restarted my phone, and my screen rotates again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandoncampbell:
So I had the same issue. What I found is libgnustl_shared.so was not correct. Once I copied this over it worked fine. Didn't have to have Samsung Hub installed..

Can I ask you how you copied the file in to the folder?

I'm rooted and tried some root explorer and they all failed to copy the file in to that /system/lib/ folder location

also this original post was for different variant of S4 but does it still work with our verizon model?

would you be willing to be specific on steps to help me fix no rotation problem :(

Thanks a bunch!

EDIT

I also tried factory reset, installing samsung hub but still couldn't get the screen rotation back.

Any ideas guys QQ

EDIT 2

Okay, I managed to put the file in to system/lib folder and changed permission.

now I got rotation back :D

I want to know if I remove them, will it F up my phone??

I have a Rooted HTC One M7 that's all up to date: android 4.4.2 HTC sense v6.0 Software v5.03.651.3

Blinkfeed = "launcherUpdateScreen.apk" I have Blinkfeed turned off (so I don't see it) but I'm not sure If its ok to remove it,

it may be hook into the UI, I say this because the OS will not let me disable it & the name of the apk is launcherUpdateScreen :confused:

Gmail.apk I have been reading about removing this

& just can't find any real answers to the ?

I did read that by removing the Gmail.apk app can F up other apps like Talk & hangouts

well I don't use those app nor do I have them installed.

are there any other apps that would not work because I removed gmail???

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djdubyah:
Thank you, question about a few other apps

I can't express how satisfying it was using Titanium to literally rip 99% of these apps out of my phone like so much dead weeds.

I'm on a freshly towel-rooted i545VRUFNC5 that was ODIN restored/rolled back from the latest OTA that doesn't have root yet. (apologies I can't recall the baseband version) so while the list posted by OP was about 95% what I saw on my device, I see a number of additional items I"m curious if I can remove. They appear similar to what was listed but not mentioned specifically. I cautiously ask first, as my history of venturing off on my own resulted in me being too "uninstall happy" and soft bricking the phone. So hoping someone has feedback on whether any of the following can be removed as well.

Thanks again! Also, going to install the NoBloat app as well, see if it picks up on any of these, if so will update.

DirectShareManager

Drama

Drive

Dual Clock

Isis Mobile Wallet

Photo Editor

Picasa Uploader

S Health

Samsung Cloud Data Relay

Samsung Cloud Quota

Samsung Hub

Share music

Share video

Story Album

Story Album Widget

TouchWiz easy home

Travel (Travel wallpaper listed but this is not)

Video Player

Voice recorder

Wi-Fi Direct

Wi-Fi Direct Share

Edit: Ok, noBloat is a root system app remover, doesn't appear to have a white or blacklist of apps already deemed safe to remove.

I've noticed that removing just the items from OP's list that I occasionally get the popup that SamsungHub has crashed, which I hope indicates that it can be removed once and for all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djdubyah:
Wanted to post a note since no response as of yet to report findings. Was able to additionally remove direct share manager, drive, dual clock, is is mobile wallet, everything samsung, picasa uploader travel and the wifi direct & share.

Issues: I can't take pictures and have them save to the SD, gives an error that it isn't accessible but believe SD card might be failing so not 100% related. Will test once home with a format and different SD card. Secondly, I have a smart cover that when closed displays time and notifications in a window but clock is now gone, so might have jumped gun removing the dual clock... I guess having a description of each item wouldn't be a bad idea. It's not a deal breaker. Phone is smoking fast and happy no errors other than sd. If it does seem issue related to bloat strip will Odin restore and test after each uninstall
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
These mostly seem to be safe-to-remove to me...the only ones I'm not positive about are Drama (?...not sure what that is) and the WiFi ones...I'd keep those two, and maybe the DirectShare Manager too. They're most likely not doing anything unless you manually activate them. As far as Picassa Uploader, I'm not positive, but I think you will most likely run into issues with sharing photos to FaceBook and maybe even a bunch of other sites.

Safest way is to freeze 'em for about a week, see if you get any FC's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Oh no! ALWAYS freeze if you aren't sure! You need to just restore Picassa Uploader I think. BTW, thanks for your additions. I updated OP!;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] D3Seeker:
Someone else did this self teaching removal tool that barely worked, and I decided to try this manually any who. Would have been nice to run into this list a few months ago. Did it' manually anyways in the end. This is nice. I think I may go through again and see what else I can get rid of, and with KNOX on the list that a few for sure.

EDIT: Rooting the device is now possible! Download the image here! (Thanks to Justin Case!!)

From http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...nlock-the-bootloader-and-root-the-lg-g-watch/
[LG G Watch] Stericson:
Hi Smith,

I've ordered a watch but hasn't come yet.

What about accessing a shell via adb? Is this possible?

I certainly assume it is, so I'd bet root would come this way.
[LG G Watch] Stericson:
Doing some more research...

In theory...

We can unlock the bootloader (fastboot oem unlock)

Flash a recovery (TWRP?)

Flash either a kernel to root the device

OR

Flash a zip which just places an appropriate su binary in place.

Right now we will have to wait for a super user application to be ported to Android Wear....I imagine ChainFire or another will have that before too long.
[LG G Watch] Smith7018:
I can confirm that fastboot oem unlock successfully unlocks the boot loader! Also, I can confirm that side loading the Gear Live's stop watch runs on the G Watch. The clock faces install (and are visible in the selection menu) but crash when selected. Interestingly enough, logcat says the app is unable to bind to the Wear home screen... I wonder what could be stopping the legit Android app from running... OEM checks?
[LG G Watch] TheManii:
If you can in fact unlock the bootloader, rooting is just a matter of waiting for a custom recovery to be ported over to it.

(and being updated to both support such small displays and no buttons at all)
[LG G Watch] trh1341:
How would we get into recovery... Seems like a recovery would be best done from a computer.
[LG G Watch] TheManii:
It hasn't been mentioned on how to do it while it was booting,

but currentl you can enter it by doing

adb reboot bootloader

The issue is that doing it that way requires an already working rom that also has debugging turned on.
[LG G Watch] Smith7018:
Updated the first post with instructions on how to root the G Watch! :)
