I've got an issue. Long story short i've got two versions of Spiderman on my phone. The demo and the full which means I've got two separate icons. I want to get rid of the demo version. Is it possible to use a temp root solution to get rid of the demo spiderman.

So apps that are removed during temp root will stay gone after a full reboot and loss of root?

No, they come back. All changes are reverted regardless of what app/method/prayer you use. Lol.
While we're on the same topic, how do I use TitaniumBackup to remove apps?
I can't figure it out.
Or do you have to have TitaniumBackupPro?
Give this a try.

If you use adb to disable instead of removing them...they will still be disabled after a reboot.
If you use titanium backup to freeze any apps, they actually stay frozen after reboot. Haven't tried removing any though. I've had main bloatware apps frozen since temp root was first released. Have rebooted many times since then.

Those guys are just messing your fine. Almost all the temp roots still work with the ota's and the perm roots and s-off should as well, although i dont know for sure. not much you can really do now anyway. mine is updated as well
I just acquired s-off and all the good stuff. Now what apps are essential or at least interesting to have with root? I had a couple for my Evo 4G but recollection of any of them is long gone. Except for Shoot Me.

As far as doing an entire phone back up, what are recommended steps before jumping into a rom?

I dont remember which forum I got this from. but from what I understand is it's a backup of hulu off a droidx, use TI backup to restore. in the original thread people from other phones were saying it was working, so I'm hopeful it'll help us too until Hulu officially supports... Problem is need root for TI I'm still having issues getting the temp root, so maybe someone that did get that working can give it a shot.

I can't get it to work on 1.4.1. Only 1.3.0 and earlier.
That's weird, I used the ti backup that I posted earlier on 1.4.1 without doing anything extra.... Fc or buffering network problems? x is using an adfree base, if it's network problems need to use adfree and do a revert or mod your hosts to stock... Which you probably know anyway, but just a reminder

I'll give that a try.
Yeah it shows up as "It appears you are having network issues. Please wait, or try again later."
But when I flash 1.2.1 it clears right up. I tried pushing the 1.2.1 build.prop over and that doesn't make any difference. I'll try the adfree bit as you suggested.
EDIT:
Holy sh!#
It actually worked. You sir... are a GODSEND! You have no clue. Now I can have my cake and eat it too. Hulu+ was the only reason I was staying on 1.2.0.
Thanks for the tip!
I was informed today that Verizon is pushing out the new Ota already. If you haven't gotten it you will soon. 2 questions....
1. Do we have to Odin back to stock to receive the update?
2. Will there have to be a new process to root after we accept the ota?
Should this have gone under the Q and A?

I think this has already been discussed. The nee ota is nothing more than the search feature dumbing down and a new baseband+kernel. I believe you can root this with the current method. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Why mess up your root? Just give it some time and the devs will probably have the update rooted and ready to flash with Odin !
Can anybody confirm that these will not auto-install?
On my HTC Incredible, I would just hit install later, but the popup would come back every 15 minutes.. very annoying!
Soon as the update comes out I will have a fully deodexed rooted zipaligned version available.
If I can figuire it out, I will also make an Odin image out of it.

It's been pretty well established how to restore proper search functionality. The real question should be what do the kernel and radios do? Any improvements in reception or battery life? Any improvements in device performance? And most importantly, does this change anything regarding bootloader unlocking research and work-arounds?

FYI guys, we can still root using the same method after the OTA (VRALG1)
Let me first say :glad to be back (3-4 years back had a nokia with symbian that with the help of this forum i did minor modifications to)on the forum and out of the clutches of apple(3-4 days ago traded iphone 4 32gb for LGOG)
Now first question: I've rooted my phone attempting to remove any and all bloatware, however I can't seem to remove it?
Second question: in regards to cases what's the differences between att and sprint LGOG's?
Third question: how do I sent picture messages? Seems like a dumb question but every time I try to do so the message says something like "picture too big ,compressing" now normally that's fine it compresses the picture I send and its good however when I get said message the text I had started to send to whomever is gone and I'm back at the message as if I never started it?
Fourth question: how do I send a multiple contact message?
Finally : since this was a multiple question post, I did search , did read, tried everything I could think of to avoid asking a repeated-a-million-times-question , sorry if I did and sorry if I put in wrong part of forum
Thank you sincerely

Nope, you have to pay for it in the app store.

install titanium backup ROOT , delete any apps you do not want, really I just deleted most of the at&t stuff or stuff that requires you to purchase other things. one app that is worth its money is root explorer, sounds like you are new to android, one helpful tip to you is when you do buy these things in the play store you will always have it as long as you remember your google account, get a new device bam, still have the apps you purchased.

I phones seem simple because they don't have any of the customizations that android does. So, I guess iPhone is simple and not in a good way.
Also, "droid" is more commonly used to refer to the phone model by Motorola. We generally use the term android when speaking of the OS in broader terms. But more commonly we use the specific term for the version of Android or ROM that we're speaking of at the moment, Jelly Bean, AOSP, stock, for example. You'll get the hang of it. :thumbup:

Download the free Freegee App from the play store.
Run the app. Backup EFS. Click unlock Bootloader.
Boot into Fast Boot, then CWM or TWRP (depending what recovery you chose when using Freegee)
Make a backup.
Reboot phone and get an app called Titanium Backup (paid version has more options)
Using Titanium Backup you can uninstall bloatware or freeze them if you have the paid version (this is easiest and safest I believe)
OR you can use Root Explorer or a similar root file manager to manually delete each apk
Be careful what you delete. There is a post here listing what apps can safely be removed without messing up your phone.

I have to say the original rom that comes on these LG's is pretty good, unless it doesnt do what you need it to I wouldnt worry about a new rom. root it so you can delete some of the bloat.
