Pre Installed APPS

I rooted my device and deleted some of the preinstalled apps that samsung adds on(annoying) and for some reason telenav just randomly decides to show up as forceclose and the icon for it shows as an android. ive tried posting this question on the general section but i get no response so if someone could please help me get rid of this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you have the proper drivers installed on your computer first. I was getting hung up too, but I installed the Samsung drivers and it worked fine after that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] t-mo123:
I was having issues with this as well so I just flashed a custom ROM (the only custom ROM I might add) that was already rooted. Here is the link, but make sure you read ALL the instructions. Maybe even a few of the posts.

It just worked for me. Phone is rooted.

You have to reboot computer after installing Samsung drivers, and turn off security. I turned off both NOD32 and Online Armor.

Went really fast after that. I'm using XP. Plus used wifi connection on phone.

Got Titanium backup on. Does it need to run all the time in the background? Can you also backup your SD card Titanium to the computer?

I just want to freeze this bloatware!

Thanks

Did you ever get this working for you? Did you go into SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS/DEVELOPMENT and tick USB debugging? Also when you plug in the USB do not mount SD.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ntxchick:
I did not. USB debugging was checked and I did not mount. No idea what went wrong. I've decided to forego it for now. I might do the deodexed rom/root instead.

not working for me :(

I downloaded one click root for my mac and hooked up my phone with usb debugging enabled and i didnt put it in usb storage mode. when the phone boots into recovery mode and i click "reinstall package" it does its thing but then says " E:signature verification failed

installation aborted"

just trying to re-initiate the discussion on this.... Ive made abosolutely sure that my sd card is NOT mounted and that my usb debugging is enabled

any thoughts on why this is happening?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ntxchick:
I have this issue as well and have seen several others with it also and haven't seen a fix anywhere for us to be able to use the Super One Click method. Good luck.

Try using Odin with the deodexed rom that's been posted recently. Might have more luck there. I haven't tried it yet. It will both root your phone and install the deodexed rom. There's also a fix mentioned in the thread that will free up a lot of space for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
One Click Root doesn't work. You have to use Super One Click which I don't think has a MAC version. But HERE is the link for Super One Click. I think people are mistaking One Click Root for Super One Click which isn't the same.

If i root my phone to get rid of the bloatware and then there is a hardware issue for example with the volume buttons would they let me get a replacement phone under warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
I think you should be able to fix it going to stock using Odin. But if you have insurance and really want to get a replacement. You should be able to. Just don't tell them you rooted it or anything.

I've replaced my phone when I bricked my Vibrant and I just told them I tried updating it won't get out of a certain screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] moshe22:
Thanks man! I think I will be rooting my phone and installing Deodex ROM. Which one would you recommend? Deodex 2.1 or 2.2? as I see that you still have 2.1 installed on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Oh...I forgot to update my sig. I'll change it now. I'm running 2.2 at the moment. Make sure to download the app.rar file that Chadster posted HERE to fix the Camera and other issues. You will need ES Explorer or Root Explorer or know how to use ADB to push the files.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gpz1100:
Is there a thread that outlines the steps of doing this root process manually?

I prefer to do it via adb and interact with the phone rather than running a oneclick type program.

Please advise.. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I've temp-rooted mine (no su installed and never have had root partition mounted r/w) and it is pretty straightforward.

From the OneClick, push to /data/local/tmp

psneuter

busybox

adb shell in and, for convenience cd to $TMPDIR (should be set to /data/local/tmp)

If need be, chmod the two files you pushed so they are executable.

./psneuter

and the shell will close down and return you to the host. Next time you adb shell in (at least until next reboot), you'll have root privileges on the adb-initated shell.

In general, $TMPDIR/busybox <some unix command> is a lot "better" than the installed version.

Perma-rooting involves un-mounting and re-mounting the protected system partition, then copying su and busybox into the path with appropriate permissions. I haven't done that yet, and don't know what the "right" su of the three in SuperOneClick is for the SGS4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gpz1100:
Jeff, thanks for the info. I would like the root to remain, so there's a few steps more I suspect.

On my evo, I followed a pretty lengthy guide that breaks down most of the one click steps into manual steps. I learned ALOT along the way. After some further research, I even got a better understanding of what purpose each zipfile had that I was pushing to the phone.

If you havnet done the Fota zip fix, try that and let me know how that works out. Fota file is in the "Deleted" thread. from what I was reading, people were inquiring about the ext4?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
where would I access the "Deleted thread"?? I mean, I followed the rooting process step by step, and i downloaded a root checker to confirm and my phone is rooted; however, I still can't delete any of the preloaded apps that came with the phone, which I read online that the only way to that is by rooting the phone, and still nothing. I appreciate your help.....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gpz1100:
Rooting the device doesn't automatically let you delete/uninstall apps from /system (which is where the preloaded apps exist)

You can do some from titaniumbackup, or through adb. With the latter you'll need to make /system rewriteable, then delete the respective apk in the /system/app folder. Also, some apps have a library file in /system/lib that must also be removed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
does it matter if I get the free edition of titaniumbackup?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
I'm just trying to fix the lagging in the phone, which I've seen from most tutorials online that you do that thru oneclickfixlag, but it doesn't give me that option because I don't have enough space for that. Just trying to make my phone a lot faster. Thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MarkP80nj:
You can uninstall apps with the free version.

One of the benefits of the paid version is that instead of uninstalling, you can just freeze them to see if any thing bad happens first.

If you are going to use the free version, make sure you know what you are removing, as system apps cannot be restored.

I don't think there are any lagfixes for this phone yet.

If you are patient, there might be a ROM available in the coming weeks, so just hold to your horses for a while.;)

ETA:

I have also read that using a launcher from the market (ex. Launcher Pro) reduces lag.

I did have LP before installing KB5 Enhanced, and was quite happy with it.

Thank you for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MarkP80nj:
Glad to be of service, lol :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
+1 on what MarkP said. use another launcher and just be careful what you uninstall with Titanium. Just make a backup first.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
yeah I hear you guys, so far I have only deleted the apps that I really don't use like amazonmp3, or telenav, apps like that. I don't touch the ones that really don't make sense to me.

n00b seeks advice for for a passionate love affair with android phone.

What I have done to root:

I'm using Ubuntu to unlock a Galaxy S SGH-T959V running froyo.vuvkb5

I setup the system to detect my phone by creating the 51-android.rules file

downloaded and installed the android sdk,

downloaded and installed mono

tried downloading and installing lib32ncurses5 and lib32stdc++ but couldn't(this is why I installed the android sdk and is probably my problem)

set my phone for usb debugging

ran mono SuperOneClick.exe

selected the rage option and clicked "root"

It gets to the point where it says:

OK

chmod rageagainstthecage...

and it just stops there.

I also tried doing this in recovery mode but to no avail :mad:

Is anyone else still having these problems?

I can't seem to ever complete a function in CWM3. I've flashed it through RM wiping any previous recoveries; I've installed from hboot, even tried using several different flash cards, but still no luck.

CWM3 will stop responding completely and the only way out is to yank the battery.

Anybody have any ideas?

I know one answer is "Use 2.5.x.x," but is there anything else?

I personally never had any issues with CWM 3. But since so many other people have had a lot of trouble with it, I decided to install the Amon RA recovery for our devices. My favorite capability of it is installing zips from /emmc.

As for CWM 3, I have to ask when you installed it via HBOOT did you make sure to check the MD5 sum? At this point CWM 3 gives you no added functionality...maybe it is best to stick with 2.5.0.5 or 2.5.1.2 until 3 works well. Seems like it has a multitude of bugs at this point.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
The new CWM is giving people fits because koush tweaked it to 'force?' developers to use an updated/different coding method in/for their ROMs, in anticipation of gingerbread. He noted this change on his twitter and his site.

Tremendous

respect for koush - but this, imho, is hurting the user community more than forcing devs to adapt new methodoligies.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sterlic:
I'm also getting issues with CWM3 and have tried every suggestion I have read (install via HBOOT, check md5, set "erase recovery," install stock recovery then install CWM3 over it) and none of them have worked. I can get into CWM3 and navigate for a few seconds but it eventually completely freezes and requires a battery pull. One trigger I noticed for my CWM3 problems is that touching the optical trackpad while in recovery will occasionally cause my screen to briefly spazz (artifacting and diagonal white lines) and then my phone will reboot. 2.5.1.2 works fine but I would still like to upgrade for future edify scripts.

I have an S-off, amoled Dinc.

Edit: And I have tried updating to CWM3 with 3 different microSD cards (2 2gb Samsungs and a 1gb Sandisk)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid_JD:
Sterlic,.sounds like the exact same problems I'm having. Glad to know its not just me.

I might give Amon a try, does it use the edify script too? I don't know anything about that recovery or even where to look to find info on it.

I'm getting this now too. I can't put up anything in the browser as well, it just force closes. Facebook works fine, so do some other data programs.

Awesome.

Looks like I'll be going back to DI18 when I get home.
[Epic 4G General] badasscat:
It's not EB13. If it's anything, it's the new version of Maps (which is not included in EB13 - your phone downloaded and installed it afterwards). It could also just be Google's servers right now.

I know this because after installing EB13 last night, I tested navigation to see if they had done anything about the awful voice, and also to test my re-made navigation shortcuts. Everything worked at that time.

This morning, nothing. So I'm thinking it's just a momentary thing, or possibly the new version of Maps that I manually installed late last night (my phone hung on the automatic install, so I had to do it manually).

Edit/Update: Aaaaand, it's back for me. Try yours now.
[Epic 4G General] kidstechno:
Nope nothing.

Restarted couple times, made sure to update PRL.

Maps gets stuck at loading, and browser force closes whenever I try to go to a website. Weird. I updated to EB13 from stock DI18 using the Odin method, when I get home I'll go back to DI18 then do the Samsung Tool thing. Could be a problem with the Odin version.

What about Gingerbread? We've had Froyo for a while, despite it being ported from another Galaxy S phone. AOSP too please? Comon, development has really come to a halt in the Galaxy S threads... We need more ROMs then just Touchwiz. If not touchwiz, then at least the newest version announced on the S2. Thanks...

That's why HTC in my opinion, is getting all the developer love.

Kernel Sources

Frequent Updates

No touchwiz-crap

They SUPPORT cyanogen and other devs.

They get AOSP ROM's, so they can have Sense, stock, honeycomb, MIUI... ect. HTC really doesn't care, as long as the customer is satisfied.

Hardware is generally the same. Please stop putting slightly modified versions of a chip in EVERY single phone. This really slows down updates and development. Example: the HTC Desire HD. The AT&T version is the Inspire 4G, same hardware, design, but only an audio chip is different. Guess what? Sources are being released, now all the ROM's, mods, kernels, all work together across what seems to be multiple devices.
