Hi folks,

I want to be able to uninstall all the bloatware that my DHD came with so I guess I need to root it. However in this regard I don't need a perm root? As I don't need to change the UI etc, just remove a bunch of unecessary apps.

I've tried using the rooting guide here but as an anroid newb the instuctions are too vague for me to follow and my attempts to infer what the authors mean have resulted in failure (no brick tho! :) ).

So, I have visionary and supersuer both installed and I tried the temp root and perm root function in visionary (which is granted supersuer permissions from the superuser app in the process) but when I go back to "manage applications" the uninstall button for all the bloatware apps is still greyed out.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Typing "su" in terminal emulator results in "#" so that appears to be working correctly. But still no go on uninstalling the apps. I don't care about not getting updates over the air as I value having greater control over my device more. Besides, I can always flash it manually.
[Desire HD General] peschi:
Hello 718 :),

I've read something about uninstall unwanted applications

in the adb description "Using ADB.pdf" and "How to install adb.pdf".

Hope it helps you, I'm in the searching and reading phase of owning

the HTC DHD (some weeks ago - and android newbee) -

it's a jungle of information here on xda-developers :)

Use titanium backup or root explorer.

sent from my dhd
[Desire HD General] dccxviii:
Thanks for the replies.

So far i've started using titanium backup as it seems easier to use then having to install adb shell. Although I installed that as well and start learning some basic commands.

For now, titanium seems to be the answer to my issue as it allowing me to uninstall a whole heap of useless apps. But I think in the next few days of tinkering i'm gonna come to the conclusion that I want even greater control. Which seems to indicate falshing an entirely defferent rom to HTC sense. Although the keyboard on the sense UI is second to none IMO but smoething tells me that there's a .apk file out there with that in it :)
[Desire HD General] tmh:
So, I've rooted my Desire HD with VISIONary+ and mounted /system as r/w using that "Mount system r/w" app from market, to move some of the stock apps from the Desire HD (and to hopefully solve that Facebook for Android problem I described in another thread). I used Root Explorer to move the apps to a folder on the SD card, turned the phone off and back on, and the apps were back?

Is this because I haven't done that "S-Off" thing, does the quick boot option need to be disabled (even though I turned the phone off entirely) or something else, in order to keep the apps that I moved, from respawning in /system/app?

Thanks in advance (and sorry for borrowing your thread, OP).
[Desire HD General] dccxviii:
I don't think i've got s-off (whatever that means lol) and I was able to uninstall the crapware using titanium backup. My process was somewhat convoluted but I guess it boiled down to 2 things. Visionary and Superuser apps.

Now I don't think my phone is completely rooted because when I go to the default "manage applications" list in the stock UI the uninstall button for the crapware system apps is still greyed out. But for when I run titanium backup, it gets granted superuser acces from the superuser app and is then able to uninstall all the bloatware.

I would like to know of a sure fire way whether my phone is completely rooted or not though. Namely because I think I want to start using completely different roms.
[Desire HD General] l0w:
I temprooted using visionary+ then opened titanium back up to uninstall unwanted apps. But which are safe to remove? I want to get rid of Facebook, Friendstream and a few others but Titanium warns me they are system components and my phone may not work after uninstalling them....
[Desire HD General] dccxviii:
I got rid of all of that (twitter, myspace etc rubbish). Even some native htc ones that I know are ancilliary. You just have to use a bit of logic as to what might require what. Crap like friend stream or whatever wuold most likey rely on such apps. But since I uninstalled that too... you get the idea :)

I was gonna get rid of sound hound as well but it's actually kinda useful. One of the few apps I left on it from the factory.

EDIT: I've also been using titanium to backup more usefull HTC system apps so that when I do eventually move to a new rom, i can just install them later. Things like the HTC clock, office apps, calender, messaging etc are superior to stock android equivalents.
[Desire HD General] dccxviii:
WTF...

I had to remove my sim card for something and when I reinserted it and turned on the phone all the apps I 'removed' were back as if nothing ever happened!

Did I miss something because I don't remember reading anywhere that that would happen if you rebooted your phone!

Agrrrr...I need some help >.<
[Desire HD General] Andy:
If your DHD does not have S-OFF after every reboot it will restore everything you removed.
[Desire HD General] dccxviii:
Ahh, thnaks for that. I've used the S-off radio tool to disable the security now. Hopefully those rubbish apps will stay away (tested with reboot and it seems so). However, now that i've rooted my phone and switched to S-off I am still curious as to why system apps are still unable to be uninstalled through the in-built android app manager.

Also, I attempted to use the clockworkrecovery mod to install new ROMS and so wanted to backup my current ROM install before trying new ones but the phone just goes to a black screen with a pic of a mobile phone with a red exclamation point in a triangle.

...unless of course after all this it STILL isn't rooted. In which case I think I might start looking seriously at the Nexus. *sigh*
[Desire HD General] Andy:
The built-in app manager will not let you remove system apps regardless of being rooted. Install Titanium Backup from the market. This will remove it.

Download ROM Manager from the market, and "Flash Recovery" again, some users have issues with it working first time.
[Desire HD General] dccxviii:
That did the trick! Thanks very much :D

One last question then, if I flash a new ROM e.g. cyanogenMOD, will that completely replace HTC sense and thus allow me to use the built in app manager to remove apps because...there won't be anymore 'system' apps?
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
I have root + Radio S-Off but every restart the phone causes my default Smart Keyboard deactive. Do you have any idea about that, is it spesific for an app or a general problem?

I am asking because I did not do ENG S-Off I have done only Radio S-Off.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
With S-ON every reboot will result in ANY change to the system being restored, You make system changes permanent you need S-OFF.

As for your keyboard being disabled, not sure about that. Installing & using an additional keyboard shouldn't make any system changes.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Even on CM system apps cannot be uninstalled through the Android App Manager. It's the way its designed, why would the system allow you to remove the "Android System" or "Dialer". Imagine the chaos if you uninstalled something you actually needed and Android let you do it.

You need to use 3rd Party apps (Titanium Backup) to do this, or ADB
[Desire HD General] Mat Buenaluz:
still scared

so after rooting my HD what ARE the apps which are safe to remove?
[Desire HD General] l0w:
If you ever want to make use of ota updates (eg to improve camera performance) then none of the 'bloatware' apps are safe to remove as removing them will prevent the ota update installing.

Sent from my HTC HD so may contain typos, bugs and, if the battery lasts, pearls of....(battery 0%)
[Desire HD General] Dousan:
As the tittle says getting control over your DHD, so this might be the right thread, allthough might be off topic to op's post...

Anyway my last device was a N900 and that was fully rooted with no permission limits. I've learned that the rooted DHD has some limits and i've run into one. On the N900 i used the terminal for allmost anything, flashing, copying, installing, removing etc. and would like to do so here on the DHD. My problem is that i'm trying to flash the kernel/zImage through terminal emulater but get this error - failed with error: -1. -

Any help would be great :)

Sorry to go off topic...
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
You cannot flash a kernel using terminal emulator. If you want to flash manually, get android sdk and use fastboot.exe in platform-tools to flash.

1. Reboot your device while holding vol-, it will go to bootloader

2. Select fastboot in bootloader

3. In your PC, type: "fastboot.exe flash zimage c:\any_folder\zImage"

4. Type: "fastboot.exe reboot"

After that you have to remount your DHD's system to rw state: "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system", and manually push wifi module to /system/lib/modules/ using adb. If you do not do that, your wifi does not work. You need ENG S-OFF.
[Desire HD General] Dousan:
Thanks for the answer jkoljo :)

Will be using fastboot/adb then, would just have been easier to do it natively on my DHD, i just loved that about the N900, rearly needed a pc to fix or upgrade/flash anything on that phone :)

Anyway will power up the old notebook tomorrow and flash away...
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
If you want an easy way, use my kernel update utility :)

It is also possible to flash a kernel in clockworkmod if the kernel is made for that, but do that with caution, because flashing in clockworkmod sometimes corrupts current ROM, and you have to flash it all over again.
[Desire HD General] Dousan:
Thanks once again, went for the fastboot and flashed that way, i kind off like the command line thing, it's more fun ;)
[Droid 2 General] RammiKan:
I need help before I go to my last resort of taking my phone to Verizon to be replaced. I have rooted my droid 2 and was running and old version of fission 2.1 I think. Tried flashing the new version of fission after wiping data, cache, dalvik, battery status etc. I followed the directions perfectly and when it was done it was stuck on Moto logo. Tried a few things like pulling battery etc and decided I needed to resort to SBF. I have SBFed this phone before with no problems but this time I think I may have pulled the USB cable out at the very end of the SBF process without realizing it. The screen went black and no longer had the transferring info on it so I thought it was done. When I tried to boot it up the screen will flash on for a second or so with no text and then shut off. I tried holding the UP key while booting to get back to SBF again and the screen just shuts off...

Is there ANYTHING else I can try or might work before I take this back to verizon? I really dont want to resort to that and dont want them to think I have been rooted and deny me a new device... PLEASE HELP....
[Droid 2 General] walcs:
Thats really bad, i think at the end SBF flashs the bootloader and the recovery modules and such. i cant think any other ways of recovering, if im wrong, someone please correct me
[Droid 2 General] draya1986:
Ouch... never even heard of that happening. My D2 fell off my desk a few weeks back, while I was in the middle of an sbf, and it was fine afterwards. The sbf failed but I ran rsd lite again and it was good. Guess I got lucky. :P

Instead of going to the store, you can call to try and get a replacement. I called after the incident above, and told them my micro usb port wasn't working anymore. They overnighted me a replacement with no questions asked...
[Droid 2 General] mistermr:
YOU DONE GOOFED.

No but seriously, this doesn't sound too good. Hopefully someone knows how to get you out of it. Good luck.
[Droid 2 General] lizard1:
Hold down x+power on.
[Droid 2 General] lizard1:
What kind of backup are you running. Can you absolutely rule out a dead battery at this point, I don't know how long you've been messing with it. I've heard of some d2 users using charge only instead of pcmode. What mode were you in. What does it do when you plug it in to a wall charger. Sorry if this is redundant just trying to get a good feel for your problem and rule a few things out till maybe somebody more of a help than me comes along.
[Droid 2 General] RammiKan:
You are a genius. My battery must have died in the middle of the SBF. I swapped out the battery with a charged one and it booted to the bootloader. The SBF said that it was corrupt but I plugged it back in and ran it again and it worked. Thanks for saving my droid!
[Droid 2 General] lizard1:
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then!

Glad I could help out. Best of luck with the phone.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vellowax:
I just want to share what i have found with my bricked vogue, after doing some test with mtty and a lot of search.

in WM, bad flash sometimes (rarely) give the internal memory with some bad block,

in android kernel, maybe you'll find some note about those bad blocks.

in my vogue, i have several bad block depends on how i setup the kernel, specially when i set partition in kernel.

if i don't set the partition in kernel, i will have only 1 bad block

in my vogue :

when i set the kernel with re-partition the system, will give my vogue to have another bad block

everything went normal for months and i still can install android, untill i get this. then a week later, it doesn't wake up anymore.

but i can still enter the bootloader. but never have succeed flashing any nbh (spl, custom WM, radio, android)

in ppcgeeks, cokeman says ; if your vogue can still enter the bootloader, it isn't bricked yet.

so, i try with mtty to rescue the vogue.

After several test with mtty and run command task 28,

i get this :

( this is my first bad block in android )

and unfortunately, mtty process stuck in this step. ( left this process for 12 hrs with no progress )

mtty command : task 29 can't process either. ( left this process for 12 hrs with no progress too )

another command to test ;

mtty command : set 14 0 ( succeed )

mtty command : set 16 0 ( succeed )

mtty command : task 8 ( succeed )

mtty can proceed any task except task 28 and task 29.

so, i think this bad blocks will have a serious impact in the future.

though my vogue can still enter the bootloader, but seems mtty failed to format the internal memory.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
So do you think this was due to the number of times you flashed the device?

How many times (can you estimate?) have you flashed and/or re-sized partitions?

I'm wondering if it was just a faulty flash chip?

Could be different batch quality in the NAND's?

I had a Vogue (no longer with me) that would report a bad flash with 2.6.32 kernel,

but did not report any flash errors with a 2.6.25 kernel?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] l1q1d:
Nand has a limited number of writing cycle so it's quite normal that after a high number of flashing (or general use) you can't do it anymore.

The different results with partitioning is due to the check on start.

When you create a yaffs flasherase_all, the program create some check blocks for the fs and list them on screen only if they are bad (in this case it map on a different location), so if you change the partition size the blocks would be different.

There is no dependence on kernel, also the 2.6.25 is buggier in bad blocks detection.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Josue_181:
And as soon as serious that number? I think made I flash to my computer as a 200 times since I got it between WinMO to Android reading this I think that you I will do not more or by least not as often.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vellowax:
@Does_It_Matter

i used to flash kernel +/- 1-2 times a day, dirty estimate maybe about 100-150 or more (i dont count WM custom rom),

i can't remember exactly, mostly i resized the partition since loserskater rls nbheditor.

before i get stuck with the last kernel (it was a busy day with flashing kernel), i was on configuring the best size partition to fit the htc sense rom.

after porting the wildfire rom and give it to jholtom, i was porting the tatfroyo rom in tatto thread.

and XM rom (in dream thread if i'm not mistaken) to compare the size and performance.

but this bad blocks, is not rom related (cmiiw). It is more a kernel related.

in 26.25 i never get those problem, but since i try to find the best kernel to those rom.

several times i flashed the latest 26.32 kernel and get a lot of bad blocks and become worst.

in my opinion, re partition the kernel is not a very good idea ( i was force those rom to get fit both on nand, /system and /data )

but i could be wrong, maybe this is just a faulty chip.

@l1q1d

well, this is an old device, you right. that this device is already reached its life.

i just curious about this.

i never blame to the devs here. i was enjoying my time with all the stuff you all created. and giving me a lot of knowledge.

from playing with apk, xml, porting rom, never had a change to compile my own kernel (run out of space to install ubuntu beside XP).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] l1q1d:
I did not want to do any kind of criticism, I just wanted to explain the issue that unfortunately plagues this type of memories.

The problem is not related to the kernel or distribution but is inherent in the type of memory unfortunately

I am very sorry for your device. :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vellowax:
hey, don't be sorry, i have already let go that vogue.

now i'm wating for a good price for desire. usually in the end of the year there would be a good price for phones.

Only thing you can do with this piece of wire is play baseline-h264/MP4 and view a photo slideshow and even that works only when it wants. Where's the cyanogen's promise of full UI output to HDMI (his ROM doesnt even *support* HDMI, lol)? Why advertise watching videos on your big TV if you can't play anything (AVI/MKV/etc) besides crappy baseline mp4 even though they all play perfectly fine on-screen using vPlayer/RockPlayer... the only good thing I can say about this cable is it was just $5, shipping included :D

Supports HDMI:

Stock Video Player

Stock Gallery (slideshow only)

Youtube

NHL

Jetflicks (uses stock video player?)

...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuiQNeZZ:
So is this with all ROMs? It seems from what I've been reading the HDMI is pretty much useless, is this correct? I was thinking of picking up a cable just to test it out but what's the point if I can't play other types of videos?

And where might I ask did you get your cable from?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Cyanogen doesn't claim that CM supports HDMI output, but that it's a future goal, as is full WiMax support. Learn to read. The biggest problem facing jeagoss (the guy who's doing the dev work on HDMI) is that the EVO's GPU sucks, and overheats whenever he gets mirroring to work.

As for other ROMs? Well, like you saw, just the stock ones have selective video output. The CM team is/will be/has been working on HDMI, it's only a matter of time until they get mirroring and/or a wide selection of video output via HDMI.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
With rumbaed post like the OP's is probably the reason cm team hasn't put a rush on it. Why is their name even coming up in this post unless you were asking info about his rom, which the OP clearly was not.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:

there is another a bit shorter one but equally cheap:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UH0Z9Q/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A1AELTLVGJRO4D

until CM or maybe some other ROM gets full UI mirroring and/or any-video-format playback on HDMI my cable will be just sitting there collecting dust... until then, i have my fingers crossed that this happens sooner than later :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Another ROM won't get it because nobody else is working on it. Everyone else is either satisfied with it not working, or the limited output that Sense has. Jeagoss is pretty much the only person working on this right now, and he just got out of the hospital from what I hear, which is why there hasn't been any updates in a while on the subject.

Besides, like I said before, the EVO's GPU is crap, and the last time Jeagoss got mirroring to work, the phone literally COOKED. If you want an example, plug in your phone, turn on wifi, GPS, bluetooth, WiMax, maximum screen brightness, and run Wardrive while connected to WiMax for about say... 30-60 minutes. You'll feel what "cooking" is like.

Myn's 2.2 RLS5 ROM

I'm using the Sense based Myn's ROM. I have my EVO connected now via a cheap Ebay HDMI cable (like $5 or $6) on my 47" LCD watching videos I downloaded and the video and audio are perfect. In fact the video is even better than basic cable signals coming in through my HDMI connected Tivo.

CM ROMs have never yet been able to support 4G or HDMI. They are in the works so hopefully soon. If you check the Android Development section there is a new Alpha WiMax mod available but is very unstable.

MIUI ROMs are nice but they too do not support 4G or HDMI.

So what type of video files are you watching and what app are you using to watch them? I thought you could only use the stock video player which doesn't support Avi files
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
You need to use a site that plays the media using the stock HTC media player, and HDMI out will work. Mediamp4.com streams using the stock media player. Depending on the quality of the upload and your internet speed, some of the movies look really good with the HDMI out. It's a matter of finding which sites work with the stock media player and which don't. I'm sure there are plenty more out there.

P.S. Xshare.com works with HDMI out. Nothing shows off how cool your phone is like streaming porn and HDMI-ing that out to the fellas. lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokenbmx06:
