[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zervic:
Search, there's a thread for an alternative method to remove the bloatware. Of course the other alternative is to flash attns liberated or cm6.1 RC1 rom...just do a quick browse of the aria general/aria development...you'll find what you're looking for :)

Edit: thinice is the author of the aforementioned "alternative method: removing bloatware" thread which is in the aria development subforum. I'd link you but don't think I can using the xda app
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eljefe27:
What Rom did u use?

Did u wipe all data in clockwork?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedbra:
you can remove bloatware easily enough using SDK Tools.

with Windows OS:

Run CMD prompt, navigate to SDK/Tools folder, then enter the following commands...

"LS" then Enter to list the installed Apps

"RM Facebook.apk" Enter and "RM Facebook.odex" Enter.

im doing this strictly from memory, so it may not be 100% accurate. there is a guide for this somewhere here, but you get the idea:)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexmix:
1) you have to boot to recovery/clockwork

2) then mount /system and /data

3) Start->Run->cmd

>adb shell

>cd /system/app

>ls -l

>rm com.facebook.whatever

I also had to >rm -r /data/data/com.facebook.whatever

as well as >adb uninstall com.facebook.whatever

to get some of the apps completely off the phone.

Before I applied the latest Kies update, my battery life was pretty good. Post update however, my phone will drain about 30% within a 7 hour time period in standby. Has anyone else experienced this?
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
SAME thing happened to me... I ended up doing a factory restore and reinstalled everything. So far it seems to be working fine...

Type this once you backup your data ...

*2767*3855# (There's no warning and it'll do an immediate factory restore)
[Vibrant General] digitaltoddy:
What app should I use to backup my data? I'll gladly to a restore to get it back to normal.
[Vibrant General] laphoneuser:
Experiencing the same thing. Battery life is definitely worse for me after the Kies update, though I'm willing to live with it because my GPS is actually working now, and that's more important to me.
[Vibrant General] rembonjaski:
Same issue here. I recalibrated the battery, tweaked a few settings and things are a little better, but definitely worse than before overall. It does seem it's gotten better over the last couple of days - but that's purely a subjective evaluation - no hard numbers to back it up.

I guess the improvements to performance come at a price. C'est la vie.
[Vibrant General] digitaltoddy:
I think I'll restore and wait for the T-Mobile OTA update.
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
This is why I don't install these leaked updates. They're not official for a reason. Better off just waiting until someone pulls what's useful out of it and installing that alone. e.g. new swype keyboard, gps fix, ect.
[Vibrant General] rbirg:
So is typing that into the dialer the only way to do a factory restore to the stock ROM?

I have a hardware locked Vibrant, so I don't want to mess with ODIN :/
[General Questions and Answers] ajinnola:
I looked through many other posts regarding problems similar to mine, although none are quite the same. If they are, the authors aren't explaining the problem in detail, so I apologize for creating a new thread if this has been resolved or asked somewhere else.

Here goes:

I get an "assert failure" every time I try to install cyanogen's 6.0 stable rom on my evo using Rom Manager. In fact, several different ROMS, when trying to install them, give the same error. I rooted using UnrEVOked, and successfully updated to 3.29 then re-rooted, however I still get that same assert error when trying to flash new roms. My main purpose for rooting is to be able to install custom themes and use the tether without being robbed 30 bucks a month extra by sprint.

Can anyone direct me to explicit instructions on how to successfully flash roms at will, or direct me toward the use of themes(i've seen some really great ones that I'd like to use on my phone)

Thank YOu!

PS: I am a "noob", just like everyone else was at first ;)
[Captivate General] amarpatel:
does anyone know a way to select what these buttons do when long-pressed?

I think sometimes an option comes up asking me what I want to do, but I accidently set a default for that-is there anyway to rest them?

Furthermore is there any way to specify actions? like if want a longpress of "home" to bring up my dialer?

thanks.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] GigiAUT:
Hi, just wondering if there was a good custom lock screen I could install on my wildfire. I'm using a custom ROM with all the Sense UI junk removed, and I'm sort of getting bored with the "vanilla" lock screen.

I tried Lock Go but it always asks for my default home option when I press the home button. The others I saw are paid apps and I can't pay until they add paypal support, or I get a credit card.

Thanks in advance :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] double_ofour:
Try searching for an app called "GOTO", you might like it..
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] GigiAUT:
Looks like a paid app. Can't buy it yet until I get my credit card but also heard that goto Doesn't always work so well.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Phinxy:
Download Lock 2.0 and get a skin.

Edit xml file to move "slide to unlock" about 40 pixels up. Works fine :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] GigiAUT:
Where do I find the xml file? I'll have to do it later when I have time to connect the phone. I can't find anything in ES Explorer.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kevin2516:
Widget Locker = win.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Phinxy:
You download skins to Lock 2.0 (here) wich is basically a .zip with a couple of files inside.

You need to move <slider_backgrounds> and <slider_texts> upwards so edit:

<slider_text name="Default" textSize="18" fontFileName="" posX = "100" posY = "110"
textColor="#ffffffff" text="slide to unlock" />
and
<slider_background name="Default" imageFilename="slider_background.png" posY = "384" />

to something like (I dont remember exactly offset)

<slider_text name="Default" textSize="18" fontFileName="" posX = "100" posY = "70"
textColor="#ffffffff" text="slide to rock!" />
and
<slider_background name="Default" imageFilename="slider_background.png" posY = "344" />

Put skin.xml back to .zip file and choose install skin from Sdcard (You need crappy file manager too..), and you are all set!
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] GigiAUT:
Thanks so much! They look really good. maybe some a little too iPhoney, but I managed to get the slider in position with a slick AlienWare theme. I downloaded a bunch so I'll play around with them on the weekend and buy the full app as soon as I can.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] nimrodg13:
Goto is realy nice... it has low rating but i dont see the reson why
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] GigiAUT:
Goto never worked properly for me. I always ended up with two lockscreens when I used it. One from Goto, and the stock lock screen.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] nimrodg13:
Im not 100% sure but isnt there a way to make the sense lockscreen to be canceled?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] joningi:
I'm using something called screen suite, works great. I've always had problems with other lock apps giving me 2 lock screens. This is the first one that works 100%
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Alex_GP:
I'be searched the market for "screen suite" but didn't find anything . Is it a pay only app?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Alex_GP:
Found it on the net, 1.99$.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] joningi:
if youll search google for applanet.net and download their app, you'll find screen suite and many more!
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] double_ofour:
Download "No Lock" in the market to disbale the stock lock screen.. there are other apps that can disbale the stock lock but i forget their names, i only remember is the "No Lock"..
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] vasilis266:
Does LockBot Pro working?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Akerhage:
Worked fine! The Lockscreen is easy to enable and disable, only thing that annoys me is if I have the phone in a offmode, (have pushed the powerbutton, to sleep) then if I got an sms or so, it unlocks by itself. I want it to unlock by pressing the powerbutton only, not that it unlocks itself by sms or something.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] boyscout302:
how do you install skin from sd card?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
left the phone on the sim unlock screen for an hour and a half (but screen was black as it was asleep).. forgot to put code in.. 11 percent of battery was used up ... if you look at phone battery usage it shows cell standby (trying to get signal) as top user...

The phone shouldnt be trying to get the signal anyway till i put in my unlock code..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] freakyzoidberg:
You need network for emergency calls

sounds normal to me
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i second what freakyzoidberg said

even if you turn on the phone has SIM locked and you are using a SIM card from another company, you can still make 911 calls on most phones
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
except that it never gets network.. if that was the case it would have network signal.. if you look at the top bar it shows no network.. it either should acquire the network so you can make emergency call or stop trying to get it (using up battery) till you push the emergency button.. i dont think this functionality works anway.. i will test because without simm card how does it know which network to acquire?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LumeriA:
i think the phone recieves all available networks before it asks for the SIM-pincode... after that it needs time for connecting to your SIM-provider network etc. .. If you have no SIM or a locked SIM then only emergency call is possible because it is the only number that is present in any network. The phone will then use the first available network to connect...
[General Topics] EVOIXGSR:
I really like the Droid X and Droid Incredible, but they are not offered for AT&T. The only thing I could find right now that I am interested besides the apple 4G, is the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Any recommendations, or inside news about upcoming models to AT&Ts lineup?

[HD2 General] Psyrecx:
How many text can the HD2 hold? I haven't deleted any and I dont see a limit anywhere on this thing. So what is the limit that the phone can hold?
[HD2 General] xnifex:
I would think quite a lot, but the main factor is with HTC messaging & the severe lagging it causes with too many messages. I know with my older TP2 I had up to 5000 messages total at one time with no issues. (older wm style messaging)
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
I personally got around the 3000 messages in one thread area, and HTC Messaging would then refuse to open...so I would say something around there:)
[HD2 General] Psyrecx:
I was also wondering if anyone knew where texts are stored incase I wanted to back them up.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suomaf:
So we know that you can do a native screenshot on froyo holding down back and then pressing home. Some apps work but not all apps do. For example this xda app if I were to hold down back, it would just pop back out to the main page and when I push the home button it would just go out to the home screen. Is that xda app or is that froyo?

I know that we can use external apps to get screen shots but I was just wondering if hold back and home not working on some apps is because those apps hasn't not been updated or is it just froyo?i guess the other thing could be my spaz fingers?
[EVO 4G General] bassic:
I can't really help you much in terms of a solution, but coming from a Blackberry the EVO boot time seems very fast! However, the EVO is definitely not an 8 second loader, I don't know where you got that information.

This is just a guess, but I'd say it's the ROM you're using. Have you tried anything else? Make a nandroid backup of your phone now, then flash another ROM and test it out, it's easy to revert with the nandroid backup. Keep in mind the first time you load any newly flashed ROM it will take longer than normal to boot.

In my experience, stock 2.2 and all its OTA updates (and the ROM I use that is based on the latest OTA) are pretty good when it comes to boot times. Anything you install may have the potential to slow things down.

I'm currently using the VaelPak 2.2 ROM with the latest HTC kernel (no 30FPS limitation) which is very stable and very fast. VaelPak stripped out some of sense (not all) and I love how you have the choice between HTC/Sense elements or AOSP. For example, I actually like the HTC dialer, messaging, and contacts.
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
thanks.

i guess i'm going to have to flash a new rom...but it'll have to wait till next week!

i'll look into the different roms but i had thought of flashing CM6 since I'm not using any sense other than the dialer as far as i know:confused:

thanks:)

any other opinions are welcome!
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
Are all of those apps saved on your SD Card? I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
yes all four apps are in the sd card. i was using pandora and plugged the phone in to my pc to try to install that 3dgallerym.apk i found on here. pandora stopped (i'm assuming as the sd card was unmounted). after unplugging and the card was remounted i was able to open pandora again...but then the 4 icons had reverted again.

i'm starting to think that is a lp issue. i'll send a message to the developer see what he says about it.
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
FYI they have their own forum. You should see if it has already been answered there.

http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
The boot up taking so long is do to custom roms being deodexed.. It puts the odex file into the apks so that you can theme a rom without any problems. Stock roms arent deodexed so they boot up a lot faster. Its the only downside to deodexing a rom.

Also you should try to start fresh.. wipe data and dalvik and reboot. Then see if you have a problems with downloading and stuff. It might be cache left on the phone messing it up. If a clean data/dalvik wipe doesnt fix your problems then its most likely the rom or user error. Try a different rom for couple weeks and see if you come across the same problems.
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
My rom is odexed...

Im going to try cm6 next week most likely...

Swyped from an HTC Evo on MetroPCS...
[EVO 4G General] notasimpleway:
First off, are you running a task killer or manager? If so, uninstall and reboot. A lot of the time this is the source of problems. Android manages its own tasks quite well. I can go into a lot more details if you'd like about why you shouldn't use one. :D

If not using a task killer or that did not help....

I say try Fresh ROM or Myn's Warm. Fresh is very stable. I think you may have a corrupt download of the ROM. However, since you are using LP you don't seem like a Sense UI person so CM6 may be your option. However, it does not have 4G nor HDMI. Personally, I love Fresh ROM. The dev came from the Hero like me and has a very very good track record for being stable and fixing things. And he is a cool guy.

Install one of those and then post back if you still have problems. I think this will fix it.

BTW did you flash from another ROM and use a backup app to restore? This can cause problems with ROMs that have different settings and options.

As for boot times, like the earlier guy said deodexed ROMs do extra stuff while booting. Also, lots of apps can cause slow boots because they start up on boot. You can use an app to disable them.

And last, app not installing. Hit menu-settings-applications-manage applications. Hit the SD tab and see if those apps show up. If so, click on them and uninstall. This will most like fix that issue.

Post back results here or if you need further help. We will be glad to help.

[EVO 4G General] Brutal-Force:
Pandora has always been glitchy. Its a great service, but they need a new programmer.

8 second phone. I think not. Try the Desire Z (G2), their version of Froyo looks faster.

If your new to the EVO, give it some time. Its a smartphone, and anyone with experience knows that all smartphones are temperamental some times, just like computers.
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
i've been on the evo for a little over a month now getting into it hard...i've learned too much too quickly...but yeah i definitely see the "like computers" temperamental issues at times.

i think i'm definitely changing roms....just have to consider if i want to get a stock rom or go to cm6:confused:
[EVO 4G General] bassic:
The OP's sig says he has his EVO on MetroPCS; if that's the case then lack of 4G shouldn't be a concern.

That's the only real thing keeping me from trying CM6, even though there are only a few pockets of 4G coverage where I live.
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
Well I switched roms to ava v9 and some of the issues seem to have gone away...but still having problems installing apps from market...many if the apps and games I had before on my previous rom give an installation unsuccessful message...

Im thinking it may be something I damaged by installing htc and sprint apps right after flashing the rom...I'm going to restore all those files and see what happens...

dim your brightness
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] defaultdotxbe:
there are lots of things you can do, dim the brightness is one (turn off automatic adjustment of the brightness too, so it stays dim)

make sure any pop3 email isnt checking too often

turn off push mail

there are some hardware disable cabs i used on mine, i dont remember the link but they are from ninjaduck on ppcgeeks

use NRG's service disable cabs to turn off background services you dont need

although even after all this mine still only lasts about a day, but its ok for me since it docks on a charger every night

one more thing to keep in mind, CDMA phones will always have shorter battery life than their GSM counterparts, since CDMA phones have to keep in constant contact with the tower (so the radio is always in use)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] delfin2003:

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mcomeau334:
Definitly backlight adjustments will help. Also there is a setting under the WIFI, for Performance which made some diference on mine. The big thing is to make sure: Bluetooth is off when not in use, because it'll search non stop, same thing with WIFI, keep it off, when not in use. And the big thing I did, I switched my email, to check every 2hrs, rather than on demand. I went from 4-6hrs to an easy 10hrs. Hope something helps! :)

Also, when I'm using apps like Trapster, or a radio streamer, you obviosly need to keep the "system" on, which includes your screen, And when I started using a Screen Off App, I noticed a pretty big diference. :)

Surf over 3 hours a day, make quite a few calls, signal in both my work location and home are not that great, so phone looks for a signal a lot, and Stream video from time to time. Doing this, the battery still lasts about 8 to 10 hours. My wifes phone has a stock battery and lasts about 9 hours without doing all of what I do on mine.
