I know HOW to remove the bloatware from Android phones using Titanium Backup Pro, but I'm curious to know what bloatware is SAFE to remove without causing any major problems with the OS. Thoughts, ideas and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

I took off faves, modes as well. Also amazon, setup, all themes, swype if you don't use it. I think that was about it. Make sure you do a good nandroid backup before you do it, so you can restore all of it if you need to take it back in for some reason.

Did you delete ALL your themes or did you just delete the ones you weren't using? Also deleting modes and faves didn't conflict with anything? I was kinda on the fence on these apps
Nope I used titanium backup to uninstall the stuff, I also did take off amazon as well

Do I need to be s-off or just perm rooted to delete system apps? because when I try to delete some of the themes or system apps with Titanium Backup and I restart my phone they come back.Please Help!

With Titanium backup, you don't have to uninstall, if you want to keep them in case you need them later. You can simply 'freeze' the apps. This way, you keep them, they just go out of system memory and the icons will not show up either on your Launcher.

You cannot delete system apps via Titanium Backup. You can only backup the data. You will need Root Explorer or something equivalent to delete the system app. Make sure you make a backup first though.

Thanks. Did not know that. Thought system apps were off limits with Titanium Backup.
Here is the thread I saw that says it does system apps are off limits. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835810

Ti Backup cannot backup system apps - only their data. It can, however, remove them with the 'force remove' function.
But, a major +1 for freezing them instead. It might just save your ass, and it serves the same function as deleting the app anyway.
Can someone please share the htc lockscreen app from the app folder I mistakenly deleted it and the oden file

I wouldn't remove friend stream if you plan on using facebook. What happened, was the phone was constantly looking for friendstream to "sync" but since the app was gone, it never reported back as completing syncing...so i'd always have the circle with arrows "sync" in my task bar. got so annoying.
had no problem when I froze friend stream and still use FB.
Anyone know what the my device, my account and search people is listed under in titanium?
I can't seem to find them.
Also any one have a complete list of what can you can freeze or uninstall?
So far I only freeze but here is what I have:
AppPack Asphalt com.tmobile.theme x6 demo videos Faves x2 flickr Friend Stream x2 Gallery I use 3d HTC Weather locationPicker x2 Mail x2 Email account messager x2 my Downloads Provider (No clue what it does) my modes news x2 peep quickoffice ringtone trimmer rockband screen share setup stocks x2 t-mo tv themes provider (no clue what it does) TTS Service Twitter Visual Voice Mail Voicemail Weather x2 Weather Agent and provider
Has anyone uninstalled the genius button app after remapping the button to the search function? I don't use it at all and its always running...

Is there anyway to get the Droid 3 launcher working on the atrix? I have the apk from the system dump but when I go to install it, the installation fails :\
I attached the apk.
Place it /system/app via root explorer. Then set the permissions to rw-r--r--.

You're not supposed to install. You place it in there, and reboot. If you're able to get into your new launcher, it worked. If you didn't, well that's it :/

hey guys im pretty sure most of you know that oovoo isnt officially supported for the evo 3d yet and it doesnt seem like its going to be supported anytime soon because it doesnt even say "coming soon" on their site. Ive done some digging around and it looks like some dev made skype work for the 3d and named it skype 2.0.something My question is does anyone know about an oovoo apk for the 3d?
huh what's oovoo ?
I also would like to know if someone can make oovoo work on the evo 3d. Seeing as I use it more than Skype.
You don't have to "make" it work, it already does. At least the one on my phone did before I uninstalled because I only knew one person with it.
http://www.4shared.com/get/3FcUnFFP/ooVoo_10.html
Thanks bro, logged me in, haven't gotten to test yet though. I think he was trying for the newer version though.
I couldn't find 1.1.1, just 1.0. I'll see if I can find an update one though.

Where did you get that one from because the version you get from their website says the 3D isn't supported. That was one of the first programs I installed. I emailed them a couple times & left a comment on the Market but never got a response.

Me either. I also tried the other suggestion of downloading on another phone, TB it & then install on 3D but either using the 1.0 link or the TB method I can't make video calls. It lets me login but the video call button is non responsive. And I can't accept any video call made to the 3D from other phones.

Replace your existing LogsProvider.apk (in system/app) with the one I attached. It disables texts from appearing in the call log (you'll have to clear your log to start fresh, but they won't appear after that). I pulled it from GTG's ROM. It'll work fine. You can either use Root Explorer, adb, or I can make you a flashable zip.

I'm not sure. The base of where I got the file is based on stock, so I know it's compatible. What does your system/app folder look like? Are the files ending in .apk? Is there only one of each?

There's:

I'm using GoSMS so I just uninstalled the default messaging app via TiBU. Bam, no more texts in the call logs. I don't know why Samsung thought it would be a good idea to not allow us to filter texts from the logs.
thank you... looking for this for so long
Let's be real, this deserves its own thread. Many people live by the sword of Titanium Backup and it's currently broken in the first Alpha of CM9 for the Touchpad. I've searched through about 9 threads and several info files and have yet to resolve this issue.
So far there seems to be a Superuser issue that doesn't seem to effect Titanium Backup Version 4.0.2, which you can get HERE. That said, restoring files continues to fail. Has anyone had success with this? If we can get a fix I'll update this post to help others.
i agree it deserves a thread...but why in development section? why not in General or Q and A section?
I would suggest just using important apps only until this is fixed. Way too alpha of a build to load up a ton of apps.

My biggest attempt was to check compatibility and display of apps I use regularly. I'm not concerned with stability at this point, I just wanted to load a ton of data and apps and see what sticks.
I just flashed CM9 over CM7 - everything worked fine and all my apps are still there
I don't see why they don't just use My back up root until titanium is fixed. It put all my apps and data back perfect.

I just flashed cm alpha0 and ran into this problem. Will try the 4.0.2 and restore some of my apps just to try everything. Looking forward to New versions with fixed titanium.
Will try my Backup root. First have to migrate Backups from phone
You know if you use ACMEinstaller2 there's no need to wipe anything. I was able to keep my apps/data/settings and I'm yet to run into any issues. This was mentioned in Dalingrin's OP on RootzWiki.

And Titanium Backup still works for you? Didn't for me.
Freezing apps does not work, and restoring apps only works if you set the app proccessing mode to INTERACTIVE.
I remember a similar issue on CM7 for the Epic 4g.

My point is you won't lose any of your apks + data. The only reason I use TB is make batch backups of my apps (which I did prior to flashing CM9), since i didn't have to wipe, not being able to restore is not an issue for me.
As worthless as this thread is becoming, it does appear that the newest version of Titanium Backup (4.7.4) does seem to be working after removing and updating superuser. Well, once at least. Functionality is back to broken again it seems.

If you first install the app from market, you can install the data from titanium. That worked for me. The only hassle is that you have to do it one by one.
Edit: I'm running the pro version 3.8.7. There's a link for it here somewhere.

4.5.2.2 is working for me. dont know if itll work for everyone though.
