[Desire General] Tiznom:
Didn't work. Looks like root is required, plus a custom ROM flashed. Far too many steps to simply delete a preloaded system app. I'm running the stock HTC ROM. I suppose I can run Unrevoked3 to get root, but I have no interest in a custom ROM. I simply want the stock ROM with fewer apps. Thanks anyways...
[Desire General] EDV11:
That doesn't work on the stock ROM

I would also like to remove some apps. I want to keep the stock ROM for now (tried some 2.2 and did not like them... I'll just wait for OTA) and I'm root. What are the posibilities?
[Desire General] pascanu:
Unrevoked only gives you root, you don't have to install a custom ROM. You could just root, keep the stock ROM and just delete whatever you want. Don't see much point in that though. I also hate FB, stock and all the rest but as long as you don't use them / sign in they don't do anything and the free space you gain will be useless.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Simply there is no way to remove system apps without root..

With root you can only do it in recovery by issuing adb commands or by simply deleting .apk files from a custom rom before you flash it.

edit: and i agree with pascanu no need, and you might just screw something up
[Desire General] Tiznom:
So basically I have to get root access using something like Unrevoked3, then type in some commands (adb) in my computer, with the phone hooked up via USB, and delete the apps that way?

I can refer to one of the threads explaining how to use ADB, but a quick search tells me that I need to download & install the SDK to use it. Already we are getting way too complicated. Each solution I see involves downloading large files and installing software.

If this is the only way currently, than I can accept that. I have rooted phones and flashed ROMs before, and I am confident I could figure it out again if needed. I just don't want to bother now. I like the stock ROM from HTC on my Desire. All I want is control over exactly which apps live on my phone, just like I control which programs are on my PC. Imagine if you couldn't remove some toolbar or AOL from a new PC when you bought it? Scary, huh? That's where a lot of us are now.

Until it's easy and quick, I and the majority of users just won't bother. I'm still hoping it's possible, and if anyone can explain how to do it then please do.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Yes as i wrote there is no need for that, if you are going to root it should be because you want some of all the good stuff it comes with (wireless tether, a2sd, froyo, decent backup, custom theming etc.) :)

It is quite easy though.

this is not really a "fix", its a poor workaround. This works for taking a photo, but other apps that use the camera API (such as the USAA app when depositing a check) will still not have camera preview.

I'm trying to find out where my current wallpaper is stored. I've looked through the files on both my phone and SD card, including the Photos file but don't see any sign of it. Any idea where it is stored?
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
system/media folder.
[Droid Incredible General] rbt2:
Thanks for your reply. Looked in system/media folder and all I have are the following folders:

android_audio

audio

bootanimation

None of these have a wallpaper file/photo in them.

Again, thanks so much for the help.
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
ok. i will check that out.
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
it depends on what ROM you are using.

on a sense rom (even a de sensitized) it would be under system/customize/recource. im still searching for this in vanilla.
[Droid Incredible General] rbt2:
Thanks for your reply and further investigation.

I'm not rooted and am running the stock 2.1 w/update 1 and the ota update.

I did look in the system/customize/resource folder and although there are all the htc wallpapers....no sign of the photo I'm using for my current wallpaper.

I may have deleted the current wallpaper from Photos....but the wallpaper is still active on my inc. I'm hoping that I can track the wallpaper down and then save it again.

Thanks again.

EnergyROM "LEO" With Sense 2.5 & MAX Manila By NRGZ28 for HTC Touch2 or Mega

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum. I wanted to ask (if possible) if any cook could make me a ROM or change, or to tell me how to do the ROM: EnergyROM "LEO" With Sense 2.5 & MAX Manila By NRGZ28 for HTC Touch2 or Mega. Thanks to all for your support and I hope I can be content. Bye

PS: To see the ROM type on Google: dual boot Android & Windows Mobile - HTC Touch Pro 2.
[Touch2 General] Frank C:
Your wish is understandable but Mega simply does not have what it takes to run such a Rom. My suggestion would be to look at the Roms which are available now in the forum and perhaps Android will come around the corner soon.....

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiraj_panosian:
Hi everyone,

I swopped my x10 on with much pain for the galaxy S, because my sister wanted it, but anyways, does anyone know whether i can put Track ID on it? Its better than Shazam!

Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zenghelis:
Do you really think it's better than Shazam? I don't think so. I've tried both with the same songs and Shazam worked better most of the times.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markavich:
I also like Track ID more than Shazam. Have used both. Track ID, for me, recognizes more songs, faster and more accurately than Shazam.

What I like best is that no matter how many times I changed ROMs, if ever I went back to a generic, stock 2.1 it would list all the songs that I already tracked. I have never seen Shazam do that.

I also like how it tracks popular songs from your region and others, also globally.

Anyways, I would REALLY like to get it working on my custom 2.2 ROM.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pngface:
Yeah track ID works way better for me too.. and in 2.3.3 you get a Track ID widget that's pretty useful too. But I'm not sure if you can put it on non SE phones

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] gno1209:
I've been reading forums that the Droid X has the same bootloader as the Motorola Milestone. Recently the Droid X has been rooted by Birdman (found on the droid-life website). Just a crazy thought, couldn't this be done to the Milestone as well if both devices are using the same bootloader?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Freakernoid:
ahh, milestone has already been rooted for a while, its just that the bootloader is locked and no custom rom, i think the Droid X has a signed bootloader like milestone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] RaptorBot:
The Milestone has already been rooted, for a while now.

Gaining root access on the phone does not affect the bootloader, rooted or unrooted, we can't load custom ROMs, and neither can the DROID X.

hello, my MyTouch 1.2 is acting up. I've installed several different keyboards, including the "better keyboard" that everyone recommends, but im still having this one issue.

sometimes when i am typing, the input box loses focus and my last text in the conversion gets selected, like someone had rolled the track ball up or something. it usually happens when the recommendation box pops up.

i just want to know, is this a software/os problem? or is it hardware related and i should warranty my phone?

And my GPS is much faster.

:(

Phone was built on the same exact day too.

Factory resetting the phone should be a prerequisite. It eliminated a lot of the loading screens. No different here. The first thing I did was reset the phone.
[Vibrant General] quickex99:
I just swapped mine too. The GPS problem is not there with this one and I get no lag whatsoever. .. I'm not going to root this one due to the fact its perfect the way it is!
[Vibrant General] ua412:
So you just go to t-mobile, complain about the phone, and they'll give you a new one?
[Vibrant General] blink55184:
Yes, within 14 days, exchange.

I am going to do that.

See my last few posts here: http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Samsu...Tmobile-know/m-p/427717/highlight/false#M5225

Tmobile acknowledges the issue as of today, Samsung phone support was helpless. He also said those are Shipped dates on the box, not manufacture dates...

I think I am going to exchange when I have time tomorrow.. this sucks as it is.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I understand what you're saying and I myself was apprehensive about rooting again but I did and GPS still works the same. I'd understand if you still wouldn't want to mess with what works. WiFi tether doesn't even work so you would basically be rooting just to take screenshots and maybe a couple of other things.

Wherever you got yours from. Take it back and tell them you want a new one because GPS doesn't work on this one. Don't accept those hacky fixes because they really don't work.

That's interesting about the Build Date, it was still "shipped" on the same day then but this one is much MUCH better with the GPS..
[Vibrant General] iceman1251:
Can you guys confirm if the compass problem its still there with your new devices.
[Vibrant General] quickex99:
I was super unhappy with the phone coming from a nexus one.. it had lag and was just a horrible experience. . Getting this new phone shows me what the vibrant can do.. I don't even think twice about the nexus now.

But I just went in there with my receipt and told them the phone was laggy as hell. He gave me a new one no problems at all!

I love this phone!
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Lag is fixed with a simple Factory Reset, GPS seems to be a defect.
[Vibrant General] quickex99:
my last 2 I've had were laggy even after several factory resets.. this one out of the box is amazing no reset needed.
[Vibrant General] acjames:
I dont know. I think i may call T-Mobile because if i go back to Radio Shack im sure im just going to get one of the first phones. Plus when I first got this phone i didnt have any of the lag issues but the more I used the phone the more i noticed the lag problem.
[Vibrant General] SuperMiguel:

[Vibrant General] zoid_99:
Can you now lock into more than one GPS? I think I saw 2 of them lok int today for the first time. I guess I will return it.
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
your post gave me some hope, so i called into Tmo to arrange the return and exchange

the rep, after giving me the return instructions, asked me if i would mind speaking to their "android" dept - gave me over to somebody who wasn't in that dept but wanted to flesh out the return issue

he looked into it, said he found a note in their system from engineering that there was a known issue with the GPS on the T959 and that there was no known work around or fix at this time

it could be bad chipsets that were used in the first shipment, and these replacements or later production units were assembled with better QC'd GPS chipsets

think i'll wait out the full 14 days to see if the replacements continue to function the way they're supposed and exchange. if not, simply return for credit
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I get 3-4 sats in my house. So there is still room for improvement but there is no doubting that this one has much better GPS performance

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant General] Qwijib0:
Thanks for following up with your replacement experience. Guess I'm off to the tmo store today.
[Vibrant General] Big_Tom:
I called tmobile as well and they admit that there is a problem that tmobile and samsung are working on, currently all devices are supposed to be affected and there is no known workaround.

The compass is something I could live with but the GPS not working is a reason to return it. Big question is if this is a hardware- or software related issue...

Looks like I will be on my way to the store soon as well...
[Vibrant General] Welshy992:
I just tried a swap myself and they gave me the same spiel about the known problem and no known fix. So I couldn't get a swap because they said it wouldn't fix the problem so the only option they gave me was to get a refund... I passed. If this is true I am very disappointed.
[Vibrant General] s0niqu3:
I'd also much appreciate if those of you have swapped and are happy with gps & compass performance can post the date from the box, and maybe serial number sequence (last 4, or something, maybe?)

So far I have no real issues with lag, but definitely get poor gps performance, even after the fixes.

Date on my phone box is 7/12/2010

cheers =)
[Vibrant General] kizer:
I've honestly not had any issues with my phone. When I have clear sky its as fast as my G1 was. I will admit its not as strong as my G1 getting a signal in doors near a window, but outside it doesn't have any issues.

I've not exchanged mine or tweaked it. I received mine via UPS last week.
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
I just received my vibrant today and gps and compass seem to work as good a my old G1. I used gps status from the market and had a 42-38 ft accuracy in the house, didn't test outside, damn tropical depression. The compass seemed pretty stable as well. At least more stable then my G1.

My box ship date is 7/13/10.

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant General] quickex99:
Ship date on mine is 7/7/10.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Great suggestion.

Mines: 7/10/2010

I've changed my GPS settings and when using google maps and navigating somewhere it works perfect. When I'm home it's pretty accurate but not dead on.
[Vibrant General] Welshy992:
I talked to a rep using 611 and they said this issue is definitely software and an update is in the pipeline. No eta, but inevitably before froyo. Everything else on the phone is amazing. Every phone should come with swype.
[Vibrant General] Welshy992:
7/9 ship date. No swap.
[Vibrant General] zoid_99:
Ship date 7/8. My GPS does not work and compass is haywire. No lagging.
[Vibrant General] darkknight49:
Ship Date 07.01.2010 and GPS won't pick up a signal and compass is all shot to hell. I did do a factory reset as well. The fix proposed in another thread does help but it's still not great.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
The date on my box says 06/27/2010. GPS is still satisfactory, 5 meters outside, 10 inside. So it seems as if it's not completely fixed because the accuracy should be better, but performance is greatly improved and so is the lock quickness.

No lock ups, nice enough GPS fix and tracking in my car. It'll hold me over ;)
[Vibrant General] Qwijib0:
So, I factory reset the phone in prep for a trip to the store and I opened maps to make sure I wouldn't look like a fool going into the store to get a replacement with GPS functional and the stupid thing got a rough position in like ~20 sec and then proceeded to nail me within 5 feet, and follow me with about that accuracy as I walked to and fro across my yard. It's gotta be software. How else does a reset of any kind just solve the problem? There's still a chance I've got flaky hardware but it seems minimal at this point.

Compass is still just as slow though.

Just for reference- 6/30/2010
[Vibrant General] tq745:
heygrl,

when you did the swap, did they check to see if you had root?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
No they didn't
[Vibrant General] Big_Tom:
Date on my (replacement): 7/7/10

Max one satellite lock, unusable for navigation, compass as reliable as dropping a pen and assuming where it points is north.

Too bad they f..ed this rollout up. Besides these two points, I really like the phone.

[Vibrant General] copualt3:

[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
Isn't this a warranty issue?

Why does everyone meekly assume that their only recourse for the GPS failure is to return the phone to T-Mobile within 14 days?

The GPS problem is a defect, and should be covered by Samsung's 1-year warranty.
[Vibrant General] chastbi:
Swapped mine today and the gps works perfectly. Compass is still slow though. I didn't do the gps fix and it locked within 20 seconds of me turning it on as I walked out of the store. 7/10 date.

They didn't check for root, but I did delete Superuser.

I'm pretty sure that 14 days is the deadline to walk in a store and leave w/ a brand new phone. During the rest of the warranty period you'll end up with a refurbished one being shipped to you.
[Vibrant General] darkknight49:
ok, so got mine swapped as well and the new one works better as well. Same build date too. Everything is a bit snappier: Market loads faster, camera loads quick, maps was accurate to within 10 meters but the lock in was much faster.

Compass still sucks.
[Vibrant General] Welshy992:
I've noticed that the gps is more accurate when I'm moving like in a car rather than stationary. Anyone else notice this?
[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
Thanks. Since I ordered my phone online as an upgrade through the MyT-Mobile site, my return process is a little different. I called today. T-Mobile is shipping me a replacement phone express, and crediting me a few bucks to cover my costs of shipping my current phone back to the return center after I receive the replacement. At least that starts a new 14-day grace period (which, BTW, begins on the day a shipped phone is delivered).

I still have doubts this will solve the defect, since the GPS issue seems to be such an endemic problem originating with Samsung. There seem to be rumors on the forums that there may be a firmware fix someday, but I have never seen anything official confirming that.

Meanwhile, there are anecdotal reports on this thread that a replacement phone may perform better, even if not perfectly. So I am trying that path first. (That would seem to negate the firmware-as-culprit theory, since there has been no new firmware released yet.) Perhaps an aggravating factor is the quality of the particular GPS chipset installed on particular devices, so it is a matter of luck who gets the better hardware. There does not seem to be any clear pattern on the "shipped dates" reported upthread. FWIW, my defective Vibrant had a ship date on the box of 7/11.

Until Samsung owns up to the GPS issue and says something publicly about a fix, there is still a lot of uncertainty about this. Ditto on the separate compass issue, which does seem to be fixable in firmware.
