I would think they want as much people who have the slide to simply just run impatient and switch over to the g2. Marketing! I don't think the reps get news before us. They're not the major players (no offense to any reps who are reading). I think they get the news the same time as us or at least a day or 2 before us, but then again I could be wrong.

im not to sure either but i just hope i dont get screwed over again like the cliq
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
I highly doubt they'll screw us over. I'm betting we'll get froyo and that will be where it ends as far as updates for the Slide.

Froyo by the end of the month would be fantastic...I'm still kind of hesitant to root to get froyo cuz I keep hearing its "coming soon". I'd rather keep my warranty just incase lol...

[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
You can root and then simply unroot to get your warranty back, but I don't suggest you root. Its not easy to root the slide, also alot of people who root the slide switch back to stock because they realize that not everything works with a flashed rom.

The only reason I rooted my mt3gs was so that I could wirelessly tether.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] dblnutcustard:
I'm running the stock rom just that it's rooted so that I can install & run the wireless tether apk. The stock rom that comes with the phone suits my needs. I've tried custom roms on my G1, but they are never quite 100% that everything is working. After the fun wears off, I reverted back to stock so that everything will work.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
Does everything work on the stock rooted rom? What is the name of the rom?

I've been using CR_MOD for a month and I like it. Everything work + a2sd + wireless tether. I can even flash live wallpaper and use it with ADW. I can even remove the built-in swype and install another version of swype which support more languages. I'm really satisfied with this rom.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unknownrebelx:
I just saw a video on some tech blog about the Desire HD ROM. One of the neat new features is how it dedicates the top of the notification pulldown space to showing recent apps (sort of how holding the home button does)

Right now I am using Smart Bar because my N1 is acting screwy and sometimes holding the home button doesn't register. What I like about the Desire version is that it just has all of the apps displayed there and you can just pick the app and click it and you don't have to go through extra steps. I have tried around 5 apps with the same function and none of them seemed as nice as the one from the Desire HD Sense.

Is there any app that can replicate this or will it require flashing another rom? I'm a real n00b and I have no idea how the API works with regards to it.

Thanks in advance
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ircfox:
+1 on that!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Suatae:
I agree too! I've been looking everywhere. It would be awesome if it can be integrated into some of the great roms out there like Cyanogenmod.

Great post! Thanks! I've been looking for this
[Captivate General] laxwillsch:
hey thanks this was clutch but for some reason everyone has worked so far except ATT hotspots and that is the one that i want off the most! maybe a typo? or maybe it is named something else for my phone although i think this is highly unlikely bc i am running JI6 and all the others worked
[Captivate General] Mordak:
Okay after I updated to Froyo on my Captivate (and rooted) I tried to remove the bloatware and for some reason under Apps the shortcuts for MobiTV and AT&T Maps and com.telenav.app.android.cingular are still there and don't go away after a reboot. Any ideas?
[Captivate General] Lu(cas:
Titanium Backup is working to remove most of this stuff as well. So if anyone's having trouble, maybe try this.

Android market->titanium backup

go to Backup/Restore

allow super user access

go!
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Why would you list google maps as AT&T bloatware?

Also, memo pad is decent memo app and it is not AT&T branded. My files is a file explorer that is on all the Samsung phones - not AT&T bloatware, but maybe not as good as Astro.

Also, if you want the Samsung desk app to display weather, you need Daily briefing. It is not AT&T either.
[Captivate General] ionstorm3:
Google Maps

The reason that Google Maps is listed is that it is better to get the version off the market. There have been problems of installing updates to google maps, so by removing the version of google maps that ships in ROM, one can easily upgrade to the latest version through the market. The list is simply just that, a list. It is not obligatory to delete the apps on the list. It is merely there to inform people of the apps that can safely be removed and return the phone to stock apps as much as possible.

You need to remove these in order to get rid of the links to the deleted apps.

Since I'm new to this whole thing...having an unlocked AT&T Captivate should do it right? I just need Root explorer or Busybox? I've read there are numerous ways and I was wondering which was the safest and most convenient.

I just loaded a new 2.2 rom that came without all the bloatware. For the most part, that's a good thing, but I miss the Mini Diary. Any chance someone wouldn't mind sharing that apk? thanks!

As long as by "unlocked" you mean rooted and by root explorer you mean titanium backup and by busybox you mean the busybox titanium will install for you. Yeah its easy.:D

error "uninstall not successful"

I am sorry guys, I am new to android platform, been using apple for 3 long yrs :(

I should have realized theres something way better out there than the apple OS.

Anyways my question: how to remove these applications listed?

I have a Samsung Captivate w/ Froyo 2.2(rooted) and I am using the ASTRO app to select individual AT&T apps and then choosing to uninstall them but it gives an error "uninstall not successful"

How do I go about it? Do I have to give ASTRO superuser permission? How do I do that?

HELP!!!
[Captivate General] ionstorm3:
I recommend that you use Root Explorer. When you install it and open it up for the first time it will ask you for root permission, grant the permission. Once inside root explorer go to /system/app/ and this will be where all these apps are located. Then look at the list to see which app you want to delete. Long press on the app (ends with .apk) and select delete (or remove, cant remember what the option is) if it gives you an error click on the button on the top right that says mount R/O or mount R/W then retry to delete the app. This should do it. If you need additional help, let me know.
[Captivate General] qsito:
You could also use Titanium Backup to remove bloatware.
[Captivate General] the1star4u:
ok new to xda and all of this so bare with me plz...got a couple questions.

does my phone have to be rooted to remove at&t crap off of it or can I just use titanium backup?

also does rooting it change the way it looks esthetically or is it basically in noob terms basically the same as being an "administrator" on your pc?

and last stupid question...

what are the purpose of custom roms? what do they actually do?

Thanks very much in advance! :D
[Captivate General] ionstorm3:
Yes, in order to remove the bloatware, the phone needs to be rooted.

Rooting does not change anything esthetically. Yes, rooting is basically the same as getting administrator rights.

Custom roms are basically custom configurations of the operating system put together by other people.
[Captivate General] WandererTJ:
On the OP, the links to removing each item, are they found by means of plugging the phone in as USB mass storage, or do you have to be in debugging mode with the SDK Program?

Also, I'm mostly just interested in hiding the apps rather than removing them, because from what I've heard, deleting original apps is permanent and you can't get them back. Is there an easy way to do this?

I thought "Freezing" an App with Titanium Backup Pro would do this, but I can still see them in my Application Drawer :/

Thanks in advance
[Captivate General] leo5111:
if youre reffering to removeing em just install super one click app on pc remove marketplace lock then install sdx stock app to remove em use the app on the phone doesnt have to be connected to pc it has a backup option i back up everything i remove and it removes em and i have restored apps with it , it works :p
[Captivate General] WandererTJ:
I was coming back hoping I had time to edit my post before someone responded. I figured out what my problem was with Titanium and "Freezing"(aka hiding) those aps, and it was that I needed to reboot my phone.

But nonetheless, could you give me a better description of what you are talking about? Your last post was kind of hard to follow
[Captivate General] TayzGpa:
Well, I have tried Titanium Backup and even though it says it removed the app, when I reboot, it is still there. I am rooted and it has superuser access. I have resorted to using System App Remover, but it doesnt list some of the apps by thier displayed name so it can be difficult to know which app is which. Is there any other application (besides Titanium and System App Remover) that will uninstall (not just delete) system apps? :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] fezzy102:
in titanium there is a choice to check a box called chuck norris check this and see if it works or you can try a app on the market its called "root uninstaller" that works for me.
[Captivate General] philip_1356:
question on how to root

i am new to android and i have a question. my captivate has froyo and i found a root for it, but it said it worked for eclair only. is there a way to remove the bloatware on froyo without rooting it, and if not, where can i find a simple root for froyo? is there one that people who don't know anything about this can use and not brick their phone? thanks for the help!
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
Well there is a one click that is searchable.
[Captivate General] Orions:
anything like this but for the stock 2.3. i noticed that some of the stuff was either renamed or not available on 2.3 but was on 2.2. the two apps "desk home" and "car home" both were not available when i flashed 2.3 from 2.2. does anyone use them or are there better alternatives.
[Captivate General] randun:
I understand this rationale & is the exact reason that I want to remove it, & start fresh. I used Superbox's File Manager & navigated to the directory you indicated. I then pressed & held down on the Maps icon until I got a popup menu. I clicked delete & found Maps still present in File Manager & in the Application list. I then turned my Captivate off & on again & Maps v4.5.0 was still there! What am I missing?
[Captivate General] studacris:
Did you mount system to R/W (read/write)? it is set to R/O (read only) by default.
[Captivate General] randun:
Sorry, but you lost me on that one. :) Where would I choose "mount system" setting?
[Captivate General] Ends:
Are you manually removing the apps or using a program? For example, Root Explorer has the option at the top of the screen. Its there so you dont accidently write/delete something. In Read only mode your safe to look around without changing anything. After all you are looking at the system files. Bit of advice though...easiest way? Titanium Back-up. Easy system app uninstall. Even lets you "Back-up" just in case you later decide to re-install all those wonderfull ATT&T apps. How can we possible live without them.
[Captivate General] randun:
Sorry, my bad, I think. :) After reviewing your post again, your instructions are for rooted phones, correct? If so, my Cappy isn't rooted.
[Captivate General] Ends:
Oh, well. If ur phone isn't rooted it'll be impossible to remove bloatware. Rooting is extremely easy. And practical. Unless of course you like your warranty. And you can always unroot then.

[Captivate General] KreepyKen:
I just removed all these things about a week ago. I also removed Samsung Media Hub...and that was a mistake. Phone kept hanging and crashing. I restored Media Hub and the phone is humming along nicer than it ever has.

I think at least one of those apps causes the OS to hang a lot.

Now if I can just get the Amazon App Store to behave, I'd be all set.

Oh, and I removed Dual Clock, too, with no ill effects.

Hey guys,

Ever since my wife received an OTA for Froyo 2.2.1, she cannot open the camera app. The screen goes black, and eventually asks if we want to force close, wait, or send a report to google.

I restarted the phone, did a factory reset, and still no luck. I decided to download Retro Camera from the market, and it does the same thing. Anyone else have this issue? IF so what can i do to fix it.

Do you think i should call google and get a replacement phone... i'm on my third already... very disappointed if this is the case.

Hello

I got my HTC HD2 recently but I am really puzzled why and how they put such an inconvenient clock.

Is it anybody here who can solve my problem.I just want a clock which will work even when device is powered off, like any cell phone.

Thanks

Dane
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Nitrous-:
If the device is powered off, then the display will be too, how will you see the clock?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freedirk:
I think what he means is he wants the phone to switch on the when the alarm time comes round. Sounds simple. But as it was explained to me that requires a separate device to be built into the handset that operates as a clock independant of the phone functions. Sadly the HD2 uses a software device which switches off with the rest of the phone features.

Nokias do it. But then nokias dont do the things the HD2 does. Its a trade off. Get an alarm clock from your local market for £3.99. Or a watch.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danejean:
clock

well,no matter if the display is shut down when time is set then the display turns on and you see the desired time while alarm is snoozing.When you dismiss display turns off.

Thats how it works in all cell phones.

Is there any computer geek who could fix that missing feature?

Thanks
