Huh? I Don't really want to root (Deletes everything ??) and load a custom rom, i like it how it is with 2.1 (update 1)
I would just like to delete some of the useless trial games and applications that came preloaded, If i do decide to root it, Can i back up some applications first as there are a few usefull ones i regularly use.

I haven't been able to send a MMS yet on this phone, but i can access the internet fine.
When you root, it doesnt necessarily mean that you wipe all and replace with a custom rom. it just gives you the power to access the inner device(and i mean software) of your phone in which a default x10 cant.
Try superoneclick in rooting. then install titanium backup. there you can delete those apps like rollercoaster and gold rush. then if you want, you can unroot it. for your pleasure
if somehow i have helped you. dont forget to press "thanks"
wrong root just lets you get rid of stuff you dont want get your facts right

Ok, to translate this quick:
1. Without root, you can't delete those apps. You may also need root explorere after you root.
2. Root doesn't delete everything.
3. You can move apps to sd if you root (and i guess you want that )
4. Tips: Enjoy!

Yeah something like that, Root the phone so i have access to delete the pre-installed apps i dont want or need.
I seen a program called 'Uninstaller' I could use after i root the phone.
After ive used superoneclick can i delete the icon/app from my phone and remain with root access?

I use root explorer to remove them. Just choose multi select from the menu, then check each one you want to remove and hit delete. Or you can choose move and put them in a folder on your SD card if you'd like.

Is there a thread with the apps that are safe to remove yet? I cant seem to find one.
Flash a rom that has the bloat already removed. I flashed OMJ Deodexed De-bloated Rom first thing after using revolutionary.
Root explorer has been great for me as well. Have to fork up a little dough but thats fine with me since i use it on all my devices. Just dont delete things that could be important. dont delete the stock messaging app or no incoming mms, if you delete sprint zone you cant call customer service with *2 etc....
Root Explorer works great but ES FIle Explorer will do the ame thing as long as it you give it root access. And it's free.

AWESOME! Really appreciate it.
The first night the phone was rooted, before any roms were released I used Root Uninstaller (from the market) to remove the bloat. Just make sure you use the uninstall option, NOT freeze!!!!
As far as a list, heres one of what dev - kushdeck removed from his rom...seems to pretty much cover all the bloat. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194672
Removed Bloat:
AdobeReader
Amazonmp3
Blockbuster
FusionStocks/Widget
Footprints/Widget
News/Widget
Magicsmoke Wallpapers
Sprint Radio
Nascar
PolarisOffice
Spiderman
Mobilewallet
SprintNavi
SprintTV
Sprintzone
Stocks
Obviously just don't delete things you want to keep/might use, if you do though, he has also uploaded a zip with the files that were removed.

Probably going to root very soon. Would like to know which, in your opinions, was the better recovery to flash. Probably not going to flash a rom just yet though. Just want to get root access and remove the bloat, oh, and probably install wireless tether if there is one for this yet. ^^

I like TWRP the best. It takes some from Amon_RA. Very well put together.
Viperboy made a flashable Mod . You can select groups of bloadware (sprint, htc, misc) or you can remove each one individually. If you're not using ViperROM, at least check it out.

Now how about the rooting process. I don't want to add a custom rom at the moment, just root and remove stuff. Like do I REALLY have to temp root before I perm root? That seems kinda like a waste of time.
Also, If I'm not happy with the recovery I flash, can I flash a different one, or am I stuck with what I choose?

Well no you don't have to flash a custom rom to root. You can very much root the stock rom. And as far as root, well what did you want to know??? And as far as your recovery. If you flash one and want to change it yes its possible. As long as its done correctly you can change at will. Id recommend twrp 1.0.3 to start with. Its user friendly, custom colors to choose from and it has a great support thread.

You can find the corresponding ogg files on your phone in /system/media/audio/notifications/
But you have to browse into the root of your phone's filesystem, so use a Root Explorer or similar (I am using ES Datei-Explorer on a rooted phone).
Thanks for the quick reply, but...it isn't possible without root access? I have been explicitly forbidden to root my phone by my boss :S

Depends on what you want to do.
If you want to modify, change or delete them, then you need root.
If you only want to read or play them, then you do not need root.
Goto Settings menu => Sounds => Notifications.
I guess that this is not what you want.
Without root, it is not so easy to access these system files.
P.S.: Does your boss allow a temporarily rooting?
You can root your phone, access the notification files, and un-root your phone again.
Here is a good description on how to root your phone => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Have a look at the first post where it is written "Quick Root Guide".
Unrooting will be done with flashing back the stock kernel.
I'll try the quick root guide. Tbh, my mom wanted my sms notification sound (yeah, I'm 37. Yeah, I still try to please my mom. Yeah, get over it hehe )
Worked like a charm. Thanks
I remember the dialer before i upgraded to ICS had a tab at the top for contacts, i could click that and find the contact i wanted, hell i could even send a SMS from there by swyping the contact name to the side...
The new dialer for ICS has contacts listed under the menu button, meaning its one more keypress to get there. It just doesnt "flow" as well, if that makes sense.
Im wondering, has anyone else noticed this? how can i get back the old dialer? Are there any good tweaked ICS roms that have this (and other) improvements? Im sorry but search didnt come up with anything and this place is crazy (two android development sections!?!) i couldnt find anything when i searched that met what im looking for.
Im currently running XXLPQ stock
hey there, i am using resurrection remix 1.4 w/ siyahkernel3.1rc6, and the dialler app for ics has contacts at the top of the dialler if thats what your looking for? its got 3 tabs, dialler, recent calls, contacts
That's exactly what inn looking for, any chance you can post the dialer apk for me?
i will do a titanium backup and see if i can get hold of my apk
EDIT: the two files i attached, put it in sd card, titanium backup... i THINK this will work, i would to a nandroid backup just to be sure, then try restoring the apps (search for phone in titanium)
pm me if i dnt reply to this thread
No go on the titanium backup, didn't wanna show up in my list, i cleared my titanium folder so there was nothing else, put the files in, restarted, start TB, no backups found for the dialer.
Try using root explorer and finding your dialer apk and post that? I can manually replace the file
thats the thing its not called dialler lol, its called phone, and seems to be fragmented into two parts =S lol let me see if i can find someting else
EDIT: try un g zipping the file so it shows an APK file and try pushing it to the system maybe? or installing it
EDIT 2: i managed to extract these apk's from the resurrection remix rom:
contacts, contactsprovider, phone, phonesky
hope it helps
Perhaps both Phone.apk (and .odex if applicable) and Contacts.apk (and .odex if applicable)?
my bad let me find .odex
EDIT: cant find .odex but try push the above found in system (on the rom.zip)

You don't have Phone.odex and Contacts.odex? That means YOU'RE on a deodexed ROM... But IF the other guy who is requesting the files is on an odexed ROM, he will have an extra step of removing the applicable .odex files. But he may already know that. (and it's always recommended to back anything up that you may end up needing again if you remove it)

I had that problem with "Resurrection rom 1.1" and believe me you better re-flash the ROM than s***ing with .apk-s... Didn't work for me so if you don't want to flash again you may use exDialer from the market, it's a good app, has the "swipe" functions and ICS themes, I used it for a week before switching to RR 1.4.
Ya def need one with an odex file...

No... you don't.
Back up the .apk file you intend to replace, along with their corresponding .odex file. Then REMOVE the .odex file and replace the .apk.
For example, if he gives you Phone.apk, and you have Phone.apk and Phone.odex, then COPY your original copies of Phone.apk and Phone.odex to a safe place, then delete Phone.odex, and replace your existing Phone.apk.
I've done this before, and used a deodexed Phone app on my odexed firmware.
Tried that but it didn't seem to work, after restart i lost service and couldn't dual out and had several other services complain on me, perhaps it's not comparable with my system?

If his version of Android is different than yours, then his apps probably wouldn't work for you.
Going back to read the thread, he said he is on Resurrection Remix 1.4. Looking at the thread for that ROM, it is AOKP based, with elements from CM9. What firmware are you on? You said you're on ICS, but you never mention specifically what ROM. Are you on stock? Then yeah, his apps probably won't work for you.
damn a shame it wouldnt work, try out go dialler tho if you want quick contacts access, from the dialler you just have to swipe to change to contacts... i used to use it but the themes arent as good as the ones we have lol

I've not seen any mods for stock ICS to have this. A quick google search also turns up nothing for stock ICS.
So if you absolutely want this in ICS, you will need to flash a custom ROM.
EDIT to add: I should rephrase; you also have the option of using a third party dialer that has contacts integrated. But if you want to have the dialer that is included in the ICS ROM to have the contacts tab, you'll need to flash a custom ROM.

I would be fine with a custom rom based off one of the samsung sources but i dont frequent this side very often (usually on the asus transformer forum) to know which are good and which to avoid. Any suggestions?

I have always kept the Google Search widget on my homescreen. I have a son who is curious about everything, so I'm often searching things, and I used to touch the mic button to play a song from Google music or dictate a text.
I've had a lot of trouble with my Vibrant lately and have finally gotten FishmanMod Blue 2.2 Frankenstein Slim to work for me. However, I have lost the search widget. When I try to add it from my widget list, all I get is an empty box that says and does absolutely nothing.
I went to Google Play and it said that Search isn't compatible with my device. (The photos looked like Google Now...)
I have tried searching the forums, and came across an .apk that I tried. I moved it from my downloads folder using Root Explorer into the /system/apps folder and rebooted.
Still the same result.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks for reading!
when you found the widget and moved it in ROOT did you change the permissions then reboot or just moved the file and reboot ?

I changed the permissions. Basically what I did was looked up the thread where Woodrube said how to install GTalk as a system app. I copied those instructions in order to move this .apk. The permissions I set are:
Owner: Read, Write, Execute
Group: Read
Others: Read
None of the special permissions are ticked.
you dont need execute bro just check read on owner/group/others and check write for owner reboot and check again also you made sure you deleted the other one that was kinda there but not working ??

Reset the permissions as you suggested. I looked for anything else with "google" and "search" in it and found nothing besides what I knew I had moved there. Rebooted, same results. I only see "search" in my widget list and it is still an empty box.
Okay, looks like I'm just completely missing the Google Search apk. I installed a 3rd party widget from the Play Store, and touching the mic activates the voice search (because I have it installed) but tapping anywhere else on the search box does absolutely nothing.
I need to look for the Google Search app itself. Any ideas on how to get it? I can't find it at all on Play store. I need it for 2.2.
im so sorry mama excuse my stupidity and do you have any other 2.2 roms ? you can open up the rom on your phone or computer and open the system folder and look for the google search apk are you familiar n doing that again my apologies

No problem. Please don't apologize. I fully realize and accept that I'm totally in the minority here. No big deal at all. Just struck me as funny.
That's a really good idea. I'll try that. I've got the voice search shortcut on my homescreen, and I can use that. I just dislike change.
Hopefully all this will cease to be an issue when I get my new phone. The Hubs (DigitalMonk) thinks I should wait for the new Nexus to come out on Tmo. I'm not at all sure I don't just want to stick with what I know and go with the SGSIII.
I feel you honestly I love the nexus but I always feel like those phone are never giving enough power etc for they to be top dollar phones and the last 2 had problems with the bootloader and recovery being wiped and volume /power buttons becoming disabled ill stick with what you know samsung phone might be plasticy but there solid IMO but if you was to get the new.phone its like trying to keep up with buying jordan lol stick to something you like not because its new but because its easier for you

Okay first I need to know what Android version you are running. If you are running 2.x, you can only use the old Google SearchBar Widget version 1.x. Do not try installing Google Now to Android 2.x because it is incompatible. You can extract the Google SearchBar Widget from gingerbread "gapps.zip" files: http://goo.im/gapps
If you are running ICS roms and want to use Google Now, there are modded version to make it working.
If you are using Jelly Bean roms, then you should be able to install Google Now from the Market.
If you are installing Google Now to Jelly Bean by manually moving the apk file to /system/app, the app needs a lib file called "libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so". However, the name of this file can change depends on the version you are using. This file is located in the \lib\armeabi-v7a\ folder within the apk file itself, it needs to be extracted and moved to the \system\lib\ folder. If you install the apk using conventional method, it will automatically extract this lib file to the necessary location, so you wouldn't have to worry about all this.
It's not recommended do this manually, but by either flashing the patch, or installing it from the Play Store.
Here is the patch for ICS roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835199
The patch for Jelly Bean roms is located at SlimRoms website in the addons section.
