I'm in the process of trying to trim the fat from my phone. I've gotten it down to where my phone only has apps on it which I use and necessary system apps. No live wallpapers, no widgets or anything that I don't use.
Except for one glaring exception -- I can't seem to figure out what apk needs to be removed in order to uninstall the Power Control Widget. Any ideas?

I've got a few ideas for apps i'd love to have, but don't know if they exist, or which ones are best, so hopefully someone can help me out
1. Whenever Titanium Backup does a scheduled backup, it closes all apps and HTC sense in order to do a backup. Before doing this, i got about 120-140 free RAM, but after Titanium Backup does a backup, i'm up to 300-350 free RAM. I guess it frees alot of RAM when it closes all the programs.
My question is, is there any app that does this too? Without doing a backup? Maybe a simply 1-click widget that closes them all (including HTC sense) and then opens up the needed apps again?
2.1. I used to use normal HTC sense as my launcher, but switched to ADWLauncher EX. One of the two things i'm missing is a proper 1x1 widget to disable/enable 3g network. There are lots of apps that can make a shortcut to the settings, but i don't want this. I want one similar to the one in HTC Sense.
Any ideas?
2.2. There was a "Sync" 1x1 widget in HTC Sense, which forced it to sync all the items i had chosen whenever i clicked the widget, is there another 1x1 widget for this in the market?
3. In ADWLauncher EX, i can hide the status bar with a simple swipe, but is there any way to hide the app drawer shortcut (which is at the bottom of my screen, where the HTC sense navigation bar used to be), along with all my icons?
So the screen would be completely clean of everything, and all you could see is the wallpaper.
4. When i had my old HTC Desire, i used to have an app that would allow me to assign 1 wallpaper to each of my 7 homescreens, but i can't for the sake of me remember the name of the app, can anyone help me out?

No one can help me? :S
There is a lot off apps for killing running processes. Autokiller, advanced task killer and many more. If you want more ram, change rom .. Im running cm7 and have aprox 330mb free at all time.

Randomly killing apps/processes is not advisable. Android was built to multi-task. Use Watch Dog Lite if you want too see what uses your RAM and CPU. Free RAM is wasted RAM, to some extent. And if you kill everything, you risk missing important things like texts, widget updates, etc.

I've noticed that some apps seem untheme-able. Usually these apps tend to be apps that require superuser permissions or run in the statusbar. After themeing them I get an instant force close upon trying to open the app. Am I doing something wrong when trying to theme them, or are some apps truly untheme-able?
Superuser apps aren't really safe to be themed. It's worth a shot though. I was never able to theme ROM Toolbox.
It must be something to do with the cache, because I just sucessfully themed an app that was causing a force close when complete. It took a lot of b.s. though.
I frequently change ROMS, and I always have all my apps backed up in Titanium Backup. This is great, because I can reload all my apps and gamesaves with a single click.
My only problem now is when it comes to setting up my homescreen. I like to have about 4 folders on my homescreen. To create these folders in ICS, I have to drag and drop my apps from my apps bar into the main window, then into their respective folders. I can do this with ADW launcher by simply restoring those settings...but I would prefer to get away from nonstandard launchers.
Question: Is there a way (program or other) to batch send all my apps to my homescreen so that I can speed up this initial setup process? Thanks in advance for any answers / guidance!
I used MyBackup with the same result when it came to widgets, any widget wouldnt display including clock. However, app shortcuts displayed as they're supposed to.
Hope that helps.

Will this program allow me to send multiple apps from my app drawer to my home screen? That's really the only thing I need. I don't care for widgets all that much, as the only widget I use is Pandora....easy enough to create on my own.
Hello,
I have started developing a custom launcher and i am in need of help/education. I want it to work like a sandbox, where user only has access to certain applications and is restricted from everything else. I have managed to get a launcher up and running with basic functionality, however i would like to add/edit more things to it:
1. Status Bar. I would like to create new, modify existing or even remove it. If i cannot remove it, can i at least disable it or make it invisible in all the applications? Where do i start? I have not found any information regarding customizing the status bar.
2. Lock screen. I would like to change this one as well. Is there any starting point where i could begin reading about modifying it?
3. Updating Launcher. Say if i install launcher from Google Play and i then want to update it, what will happen? Launcher updates and restarts? If i have 2 Launchers installed, will i see the second one will the first one restarts? Will i have to set default launcher again after update?
Note that solutions for rooted and unrooted devices fit to me so at least i know i can remove / disable the default launcher. I also fully understand that there is no way to restrict user from reflashing rom and such, but that is not a concern to me.
Hi, i just bought a Chinese dash cam/rear view mirror on amazon, i think its made by phisung
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P7G994A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
it works well, but the android system is quite dated (4.0.4), and some of the setting are missing or dont work such as brightness adjustment.
so far i've rooted it using kingo and installed titanium and root explorer, and backed up the existing partitions using adb, but what i'm quite keen to do is modify the main launcher screen. at present i cant change the 7 apps on the main windows phone style launcher screen and I want to replace them with alternatives or replace the launcher.
I've sideloaded nova and a couple of other launchers, but whilst I can load them from the app draw, there is no option to set a new default launcher, and the home button always loads the pre-installed launcher, which is some chinese launcher listed as DX_launcher02 in the app draw and daxun.launcher.activity in system/ app folder, I've tried apps like launcher switcher, which have no effect on the default as the options is greyed out.
I've also tried freezing the built in launcher with Titanium, thinking it might then default to nova, but the home button( both hardware and soft buttons) then just loads a blank screen, so I used the recent app menu to go back to titanium and unfreeze the stock launcher.
I'm suspecting there might be a more complicated way to change the launcher, either by editing apk properties and changing the default app to point the shortcuts/tiles to new apps, or by setting a new default launcher, so if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated?
My friend bought exact same model.
He has problem with auto shutdown. Navigating or not - recording or not - there will be pop up that countdowns 10sec auto shutdown.
To abort shutdown - touch the screen. And of course - touching the screen doesn't help.
Have you found any solution for this?

Hi I do not know too much about this Android device, but I bought one (Crane_cvr) frm Tingway and it was full of Chinese software. Trying to delete it was not successful and loading Google Play was impossible. The sellers sent me an "new" h200-2.img file which I installed with Phoenixsuite. However, my functionality of the GPS disappeared. I have even connected another working GPS, to no prevail. Since it seems you have lot more knowledge, do you have an idea how I can get the GPS working? I have now been trying for 2 months. GPS Toolbox / Test / etc .. do not pick up any satellites, but it seems the GPS is detected.
Thanks in advance
