Hiya. New owner of a P7510. I am usually good at searching and finding my answer but not for this question.
How do you remove the bloat apps from this? (amazon mp3 etc) I'm used to the Froyo and Gingerbread methods which dont seem to work on Honeycomb. Rooting and all that was easy to find and do, just this little hang up is baffling me. For now i just used bloat freezer but would prefer them actually removed.
Thanks.

You can use Titanium backup to uninstall all the bloatware.

does anyone else have any suggestions?
thanks

I'm hoping somebody has either tried something similar to this, or has more knowledge than me and can answer my question...
I'd like to try and theme the version of Swype that came pre-installed on our Atrix. I themed Swype on the Serendipity ROM for the Captivate:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10633404#post10633404
But that was seemingly more idiot-proof than the Atrix; I've seen a few threads/posts where people are unable to use Swype or reinstall it after uninstalling it. I'd rather not lose my ability to use Swype while trying to basically make it nicer looking. Haha.
So, has anybody tried anything similar? Or been able to restore Swype after accidentally deleting it? Would backing up Swype with Titanium Backup Pro save me if I need to restore it after potentially messing it up?
Thanks in advance y'all.
Hi folks I have a question about freezing apps on Gingerbread.First off I havespent three days searching and haven't found an answer for this.
I found this thread about what apps are safe to freeze but my question is different.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972459
I want to know which apps are safe to freeze that will not affect webtop functionality.....aside from the fact that on that list it still says its for froyo even tho freezing most of those still works with GB and other ROMS.
Can anyone at least point me to a thread where they discuss safe apps to freeze that won't affect Webtop functionality...thanks everyone.
I have frozen many apps from that list without affecting my WebTop at all.
Why don't you start freezing some of the apps you don't use and see it for yourself?
Worst case just unfreeze them.
Cheers

well i froze almost all of those but i did notice that then all of the sudden my webtop didnt respond anymore....I restored my back up and have been doing one by one untill i find the problem one.
I froze all of the social media ones first and I think the problem might have been DeskHome service any ideas??????

You can freeze all social apps, just don't freeze DeskHome. WebTop needs it.

oh i guess that was my problem
Okay, I have the Samsung Captivate and anytime I flash a new ROM I install everything from scratch. I recently upgraded to ICS... now my wife wants it on her i9100. Installing from scratch wouldn't normally be an issue but she has like 100+ apps, most of them games and such and I don't care to go through and write them all down to re-install and also hope that they don't need saved information. If anyone has any (free) backup tools that can do what I need, please let me know. The only I've ever heard of is Titanium and when I used it once on my Captivate it didn't work with restoring everything.
hey there,
you tried Titanium before ... it´s the one solution I would use for this task; as you know it will show you the apps it wasn´t able to restore and you can install them from the market after that.
normaly I use MIUI Backup for this, but since you want stock ICS you have to use another app.
Yep use titanium backup, if you flash cm9, it might be a bit tricky, I had to use the free version of titanium backup, the pro didn't work, also it sometimes freezed sobi had to reboot, also ics rom's for sgs2 have lots of bugs

ICS issues eh? Then maybe I'll wait a month or so, she's just anxious to get the same capabilities that I do, because on the Captivate ICS has made it so smooth I feel like it's a brand new phone.
Our ics roms are not something I would subject a spouse to unless they are a fan of Android tweaking, there not really stable and likely to cause problems, only really for advanced users.

Hi guys..
Sorry for wasting your time again..
Got a few question, jsut flashed my phone to gingerbread stock verizon..
I would actually want to ask what can i do to my phone after i root it?. i mean what will be the changes, cause i really can't understand the advantages of being rooted. they said there will be more options.
but what are those option?.. you mean i can download more apps in android market?.. am i right?..
also i have a question about the place where can we download full version apps games, i was informed about blackmart.. is that safe?..
also about the droidwall, someone told me if i rooted my phone, i can get that, and it seems to be very usefull to what she said..
Thankyou for responding to my question.
appreciate it so much..
also wants to confirm if verizon fascinate really doesn't have front camera cause im having hard time using the yahoo messenger video call only black screen
More Power Guys!!!
Rooting gives you the ability to modify your file systems, install custom roms, as well as apps that could not normally be installed on your phone. There is no front facing camera on your phone. You really need to ditch the gingerbread you ate using noe and follow the guide to get any of the android 4.0 roms that are on the site. You will understand why rooting is so nice when you are able to use one of those roms. You can install droidwall once you are rooted. If you are looking for free apps on the internet other than the play market, try using Google, it really works.

Rooting will allow you to do more to and with your phone than was intended. First and foremost for me it was being able to remove Verizon bloatware. You can install Custom Roms either Gingerbread or ICS, make tweaks to the phone that will make it run more effective and efficient. Either way, if you are going to root, the next thing you should learn about is making a Nandroid backup. This way you can always go back to where you were when you first started and then do it all over again to your liking. Have fun.
I too wanted to get rid of the bloatware. By putting on a ROM like Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4) on my phone I don't feel the need to upgrade. The developer activity is very good on this phone so the performance of the roms is great.
I see them for KitKat and before, but not for Lollipop. I have had some success using the KitKat ones, but Id like to get rid of stuff like Kids' mode. I have searched, but only found scripts for older Android versions. Any help would be appreciated.

OC5 is still fairly new and no one has released a custom ROM as of yet. There are a few apps that work with OC5 but none that do what you're asking for. I'd give it some time, we all hate the bloatware that comes installed on these devices.
I've been using this one, which works well enough for now.

I use 2 different methods. One is I use titanium backup to manually go in and freeze apps. I don't uninstall simply in case I run into an issuse. Then I use Nova launcher to hide any apps I can't freeze without causing issues.
Has always worked for me. At the very least u can just diable most of them right from the app drawer.
