Ok here is the basics of what I did. I didn't modify the CM .zip from my computer because I thought it would take more time to nandroid backup and reflash the ROM. If I install a new ROM, I am more likely to do that. I loaded the Ubuntu LiveCD and proceeded with what I was doing before. I still had to put in every command that attn1 taught me.

Here is a list of everything I removed.

- Music.apk Successful. No problems.

- com.amazon.mp3.apk Successful. No problems.

- Browser.apk Successful. No problems.

- Gmail.apk Successful. No problems.

- CMWallpapers.apk Successful. No problems.

- LiveWallpapers.apk Successful. No problems.

- MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk successful except the 'Many' live wallpaper option doesn't load without this. I didn't care cause I was getting rid of all of them.

- LiveWallpapersPicker.apk Deleting this changes some things. When you go to menu >wallpaper it takes me directly to Astro File Manager instead of the wallpaper menu. I can still access and change my wallpaper though the Gallery app

I didn't remove Camera.apk because I read somewhere that it will mess up your camera even if you have another app install. I also didn't remove any Google apps yet. I might try those any other day. They aren't bothering me right now.

I was thinking about moving my nandroid backup to my computer to save space, but I didn't. I realized that if my SD is full, I won't have space on it to move it back when I needed it.

Thanks for all the tips.
[HTC Aria General] dh4645:
what are the apps you upgraded to after deleting these?

i dont want to delete the stock once i've been using if there alternatives arent any better.
[HTC Aria General] Anthony1s:
For Music, I'm using Mixzing. For Browser, I'm using Dolphin HD. For E-mail, I'm using K9. For Messaging, I'm using Handcent. For Camera, I have a bunch of different apps.

I heard that your camera and messaging won't work without the 'Camera' and 'Messaging' that are currently on the phone. I'm assuming that your email won't work without the 'Email'. I deleted Gmail without any problems though. All the rest that I removed were just Wallpapers that came on the phone. I can pull up the wallpapers that I want from gallery still.

I don't think I freed up much memory space. My main concern was to get all those 'Music' widgets off my widget list and make everything else less cluttered.
[HTC Aria General] anika200:
So you can still get and send email from your email account after removing gmail or do you have to buy/download another email client. I am trying to figure out the differences between the gmail and email apps at the moment. The email app seems to have changed in Froyo to something less than it was. Are you using the standard "email" app after you delete gmail app?
[HTC Aria General] Anthony1s:
I use k9 mail. Everything worked after i removed gmail.apk
[HTC Aria General] combustiblemonkey:
What I did before I installed the addon apps is opened the zip file and just deleted the apk files I didnt want.

I forgot to delete Twitter tho. Doh.
[HTC Aria General] mharrissmith:
Hey, tried running Skyfire browser after uninstalling the default browser?? Cause all I am getting is a black screen when trying to run Skyfire.Other browsers work fine, but no Skyfire.

Know of any way to reinstall the defautl browser???
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
I think I read somewhere that Skyfire is meant to run on top of the default browser, kind of like an add-on.

For the stock browser, download cm6 and unzip it. Then go into the unzipped file >system>app>browser.apk. Just push Browser.apk to /system/app on your phone via adb and you're good to go.

EDIT: just realized you might not be running cm6. Not sure if theres a difference between the browser in cm6 and the one from the stock rom. If there is a difference you just follow the same procedure from whichever rom you're running.
[HTC Aria General] gdeer80:
reinstall browser

hello am using librated rom, i use winrar to delete browser.apk and now i was trying to run xscope, it say i have to reintall browser.apk.

i try to reinstall via adb but it say:

Failure [install_parse_failed_no_certificates]

any idea would be appricated, other wise i was just going to reinstall rom over again.
[HTC Aria General] maddness505:
I did it an easier way using root explorer removed browser replaced with dolphin just renamed it to browser.apk and clicked on it to run instal same with music app changed it to cube renamed pasted then installed it as well as adwex as primary launcher messaging needs to be on there or else you will not receive text you can send but not received tested and placed back calculator was updated as well succesfully removed with root explorer twitter you tube gmail live wallpaperdesk clock fm facebook and live wallpaper picker rebooted all is fine
[HTC Aria General] Androidude:
How did you remove the apps in the system folder? I can only delete the apk's but the apps just come back after a reboot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StirCwazy:
I was curious if someone knew of an app, or way, to have your pictures sync to an outside source, say FTP. It doesn't have to do it as the picture has been taken, but at a scheduled time would be nice. Any help would be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bmx24:
will some one pleas port this because it cant be to hard because the droid and the droid 2 are almost the same phone the olny difrence is the soft touch buttons,the prosser and the system partitons and how cool would it bee to have the droid 2 blur on the droid 1 so if some one is up to it be redy to do the easyst portting ever

EDIT:

(meaning why dont you do it lol :p)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jearl75:
LOL, can't wait to see YOUR release :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sp1kez:
why would you want to do that?

us that are stuck with it are trying to GET RID OF BLUR, enjoy your vanilla froyo
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bmx24:
lol u always want what u cant have have
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Angdroid:
Why not just use launcherpro. That should get rid of it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Dexter_nlb:
ive got a port on my milestone, maybe the port can assist droid users as well somehow, if the right people try?

only problems i see, is that we need 512MB memory, and droid / milestone got 256MB which cause it to show many "Low memory" errors in the logs.

but becides that im sure the droid 2.2 kernel can easily be used with droid2 and solve problems i see when using it on a kernel 2.1 on milestone...

you are soo lucky!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bmx24:
i am very interested in your work dexter could u or someone els point me in the right direction to porting this to droid i tried porting your motosense to my droid because it looks like it works way better than zd well lets just say that failed badly but it would be great if u or someone els gave me some instructions on how to port this cant be that hard right almost all of the hard work is done thanks for your work
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ataranine:
I like how the title of this thread is says "ported" as if someone did it..naturally I got excited. Boy was I let the hell down.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bmx24:
ya sory about that but it gets peoples and devs attention so it will happen
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ataranine:
No, it misleads them, thus pissing them off.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
:eek:

:mad::mad::mad:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] thepwneddroid:
The easiest port ever was probably the Desire ROM to the Nexus One, research before you write.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] matrix2004:
I've been asking to get Blur ported from the X for a while but no one has done it. Its to the point where i might offer to pay someone to do it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bmx24:
i was talking to jamezelle on twitter and he said h might just do it some time but not untill sense ui 2.2 port is finished and let me sayit is great almost a daly driver so the guy isint dum and knowes how to port and theres a port for the milestone so it will be really easy
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Brian513a:
I know, right?!

:confused:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zachattack112:
if only this really did get a devs attention. Maybe we could get jamezelle to help wen he finishes his sense rom...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bmx24:
he said he knowes how and it allredy has ben done for the milestone so all of the hard work is all done
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zachattack112:
wait, the blur from the d2 or dx, or the old motoblur?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jamezelle:
I was thinking about porting it, but its only 2.1 so its pointless.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Dexter_nlb:
droid2 is froyo based? dalvik confirms this, speeds on milestone was comparable to my froyo port, where the old 2.1 was almost 33% of that..

which means jit is default enabled
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zachattack112:
someone that wants blur for their droid, donate a droid to dexter! tweet this to so u can get the word out!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] matthew4295:
I laugh at people when they said stupid things like this "it can't be that hard to do". LOL Until people try it for them selfs, they will never know how hard it is. Although the whole thing is worth it, for programming is fun and exciting.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zachattack112:
i know its hard, but dexter makes these roms so fast... he makes it seem so simple
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Dexter_nlb:
agree.. the linking is pure trial and error, and can take days to figure out, depending on complexitity.. rest is hacking if hardware is less compatible, and graphics fixes and smaili changes are just if you know how to do it..

but its no way a simple task.. and with it comes the complaints(not speedy if you do it for a phone which is small like droid/milestone)

anyways i did it for the fun..so im happy that a few does indeed like my mods and the work put into it.. Milestone was originally just a proof of concept :-)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zenulator:
I'll take a look at it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zachattack112:
what do you mean by look?:)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bL33d:
I actually would like to see this aswell, op needs to start a collection i would drop $10 for a working d2 blur rom. See what peeps would donate. That how u get folks attention.

Dev that gets it working and confirmed working dont release till they get the amount stated in collection. sounds fair to me i mean it takes time and effort to port roms.
[Captivate General] A.VOID:
All of a sudden my gmail app is not displaying the new emails and not deleting them off the server when i delete them on the phone.

Any thoughts?
[Captivate General] A.VOID:
Fixed it going into manage applications/show all/ and deleting the gmail and gmail storage cache and history
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gochris:
I had widget locker installed, it was working great since yesterday. Today this problem started.

Once the screen goes off/sleep, I can not turn it back on. Using either the home or power button. I removed widget locker, and set the home action back to ADW Launcher.

The phone is seemingly still working, because I was on a 10 min phone call, but after the screen would not come back on, so I couldn't end the call or use it at all. I have to pull the battery, and turn the phone on to use it, of course that's only useful until the screen goes off again lol.

Any ideas? I am going to wipe it/reapply the rom tonight to see if that fixes it, but not sure how it could be software now since the only new app lately was widget locker and I've uninstalled it. I also got rid of NoLed just in case it was that, although it wasn't enabled.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] katsuru:
I also noticed something while using Widgetlocker, sometimes when i unlock my screen, the "BACK" softkey when pressed does not vibrate the phone! the menu one does... I need to lock the screen and unlock again and voila... its working :confused:

Seems like Widgetlocker is bringing lots of problems
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
check what software you have installed recently

most likely one of those apps is keeping the screen off
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gochris:
Well the ones I installed recently was Widget Locker. Before that I didn't have the problem, and I've removed that app. I haven't installed anything else in the past day.

I was just reading about setcpu potentially having this problem. Which would be weird since I've had that installed for a week and just now am having issues. I'm playing with it's settings now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
you can always to a quick format and restore the settings to ROM default

*2767*3855#

and reinstall each app, to see which one caused the problem
[Nexus One Android Development] paco909:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omglolmagic:
Hi there

Could someone please tell me how to get rid of the auto standby or at least make my phone wait for longer time before it goes standby? (currently takes only 20 seconds, I really just want my phone to dim the screen, nothing else..)

Do I have to modify the register? I've been playing with my phone for hours but haven't been able to solve this problem.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexus One:
I just noticed that my *228 doesn't work anymore. I have the Droid Incredible with the following configuration:

Sky Raider 2.52 Sense ROM

2.15 Baseband

CMR 2.5.0.5

S-OFF (Unrevoked Forever)

VZW/Alltel Hybrid PRL 65024

I never tried dialing *228 after doing all these upgrades, and so I'm not exactly sure when I lost my *228 capability. The phone appears to be working just fine otherwise.

But now I dial *228 (options 1 or 2), and the operator just says something like "sorry...no can do."

Is there a way to get this capability back? Or is it gone for good? Do I even need it anymore?
[Streak 5 Android Development] massinegro204:
I have a streak of 1.6 build 4339 Unlock and I would ask if I can upgrade easily to 2.1 with the method update.pkg the root of sd. thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] shogunmark:
Please read all of the other threads before posting these types of questions. If you dont understand the process and dont want to risk messing up your phone then dont attempt it and wait for an official update. Countless people have been successful with doing the upgrade, you just have to read and understand the instructions!
[Captivate General] berd:
Anyone know when theyll have this program up and running? Or are they just gonna wait till they got froyo up and running
[Captivate General] aglebot:
I'm figuring they'll need it when they release their pad product.
[Captivate General] berd:
Pad product??
[Captivate General] Bjd223:
Yes they are releasing a tablet that is very similar to the Galaxy S phones, besides the screen size obviously.
[Captivate General] boborone:
Reports from samsung say late september early october. And pads are for when aunt Flow comes to town, it's called a tablet.
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
September's my bet. Movies will be 3 dollar rentals and 12.99 buys. Idk about TV shows.
[Captivate General] ConceptVBS:
Sprint had a demo of this running on their Epic 4G

Video here: (starts around 3:30)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph3maKqUrCs
[Captivate General] dmnall:
That is the speculation when it will be made available around the time the Epic 4G is released or pretty soon afterwards. I cannot wait because it will be kind of cool to rent and buy movies especially when you can rent them before you buy a Blu Ray version of the movie to make sure it is worth buying.

Cheers,

Charlie
[Captivate General] ConceptVBS:
Samsung Hub is a carrier independent media store (meaning ALL Galaxy S phones from across all the carriers can access the Media hub page through the App). Now that is a lot of phones. Not sure if this will spread to the international Galaxy S version (which will be even more sweet).

Just finished downloading OTA froyo from Vodafone - it is busy installing now.
[Captivate General] orb_526:
I am coming from Blackberry and therefore have high standards for email clients. After trying every workaround that I could find from forums, I sent an email to Samsung with my recommendations for future software updates. I am not surprised by the response. On a side note, I fixed the GAL issue by installing "Swift Contacts" from the market but in my opinion all of these features should be out of the box functionality in a modern smartphone especially if iOS has it. I am running Touchdown in parallel right now to see if it is worth the $20 but this phone should do these things stock. Am I crazy for having these expectations?

Subject: Email Client

I have had my Captivate for 3.5 weeks. While I love it for many reasons, and besides my major gripe with the GPS performance, I continue to struggle with the email functionality as a past Blackberry user. The stock email client lacks many basic features that Blackberry and iPhone have. Is there any plan to fix the following basic Smartphone/Activesync functionality in an upcoming software update?

- GAL support (global address list)

- Cut/Copy/Paste

- Move email between folders

- Meeting request Accept/Tentative/Decline w/ or w/o message

- Syncronized draft folder w/ exchange

- Create calendar appt. and choose'show time as' free/busy/tentative/out of office.

If there is a way to do any of these thing now, I would appreciate the instructions. Otherwise will these be addressed in future software releases? I am debating switching back to Blackberry really want to make this phone work for me!

Samsung Response:

Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we are unable to speculate when/if a software revision with this feature might be available due to the fact that this might lead to inaccurate information and confusion.

Please feel free to check back with us periodically for updates. We hope that you will allow us another opportunity to serve you.

Should you desire additional assistance resolving this, we invite you to call Samsung Customer Support by phone at our toll free number 1-888-987-4357 between the hours 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday, Central Standard Time.

[Captivate General] screwyluie:
I'm sure there's an app out there for this stuff, but android is not a business oriented client and as such these are not things "normal" users would need.

I use the gmail app that came on the phone and it has cut copy and paste.

you'll have to define GAL, again the gmail client has access to all your gmail contacts, which is everyone I know since you can easily sync all your contacts with gmail (even phone numbers)

again, a gmail user, but gmail doesn't really have folders it has labels, which is more or less the same from the users point of view, and this can be done, moving labels...

apps are your friend, search appbrain for the things you need, ex: http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=exchange

hope some of that helps
[Captivate General] orb_526:
Thanks for your feedback but I do not accept that Android is not business oriented and only for "normal" users. Many companies that are not on AT&T and therefore can't get an iPhone are allowing android phones form Verizon and others. iPhone can do all of these things and many other Android phones have much more client email functionality. For some reason this Samsung version is hobbled. If Android is going to succeed and eventually dominate in the market any new phone platform must have basic business functionality that is expected with any Exchange implementation using Activesync. If an app like Touchdown can do these things then the stock client should be able to. For Android to win it must work for both business and "normal" consumers.

Also, how do you have cut and paste in gmail? Are you rooted? I do't have it and have read many threads complaining about the lack of this feature.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
A couple corrections:

1. cut/paste is there and pretty easy to use - if using the samsung keyboard, tap and hold the 123 key. Viola, you get a directional pad with cut/paste functions, that works very well.

2. GAL is available when composing an email. instead of typing a name, hit the search button near the name box; this will search the server - downside; you only get email address, not phone numbers

3. you missed my biggest annoyance: not being able to dial a phone number in a calendar invite/meeting - phone numbers and urls are not recognized as links. You have to "edit" then copy paste.

These are not android deficiencies, they are Samsung's. Other android phones do not have these problems. So hopefully a 2.1 update, or 2.2 will fix all this. If not we should have some Vanilla (Plain Android) Roms to use in the near future.
