any one know a way to stop my mopho from updating it's self? i'm on the version of the SW that lets me keep my FB contacts synced and i would like to stay there. i have root, no custom rom/boot.
Any ideas?
You should be able to use Titanium Backup's app "freeze" feature to freeze "updater".

After hacking the phone to run webtop without the docks, I was just going about my phone and was curious about the "System updates" button and got this:
Social Networking account required
"com.android.setttings.deviceinfo.CheckUpdate" is not available without a social networking account. To create a new account, click "Setup" button
When I click the setup button, nothing happens. Did I mess up one of the files during the process of hacking my phone, because before attempting the webtop hack, when I still had root and adeo on, I did not get this message.
Account syncing: my facebook account will not sync with the contacts on my phone. The social networking app and widget is not running properly for the same reason as from the message given above ^^.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks
Did you use Titanium Backip to freeze apps. This is a symptom of freezing apps. To get this to work unfreeze all your apps and make sure the MotoBlur account is syncing.
I didn't use titanium backup to freeze any of the apps. I'm still kind of new to android and so I might need some guidance in more simpler terms
Did you create a blur account?
yes and it was already linked when I received my unit on the 21st
would it be reasonable to attempt a factory reset, even though I rooted it and installed ADEO?

What exactly does freezing do? I can't seem to find a answer on the net. Can one manually "defrost" a frozen app?

I think so, I'm pretty sure TiBu just adds a ".bak" to the application because when you freeze something it's still in your app drawer until you restart your phone vs when it's uninstalled its gone instantly. The benifit to freezing vs uninstalling is if you freeze the wrong thing or want it back it's still there, but if you uninstall it it's gone and you'd need to ask someone else for it or something.
anyone solved this error? I also got the error today
Is your phone deodexed? That could be the problem maybe.

Is there a good way to uninstall some of the bloatware on the Photon? Doing some searching, I'm not really finding the best way. I noticed that in Titanium Backup there is an option to remove apps but it doesn't seem to work, or at least when I try to uninstall the Motorola Music app it never goes away. I mostly want to uninstall it. I did root my phone so my understanding that is I should be able to remove even system apps like this.
Odd. Went into Titanium Backup and did a convert to user app, it force closed, when back in and now the Motorola Music app is gone so I am happy. Was annoying app. Kept popping up randomly when using bluetooth to stream to my radio and when using the skip ahead or back it would randomly close out the Google Music app and start using the Motorola Music App.
I have rooted my razr, no issues. One thing i thought that you could do with the rooted phone was uninstall pre-installed apps like, blockbuster, amazon. apps like that. is that not possible. If it is, can somone please give instructions on how to uninstall them. Thanks
You can use Titanium backup, and i suggest you freeze them instead of uninstalling.
Uninstalling stock apps hinder official updates.
How do i freeze them? and will that make it so they dont display in my app drawer?

Exactly! Just open Titanium Backup, go to the apps list and press on the app you want to freeze, in the following popup just press the deactivate-button.
Thanks for the help.
Don't uninstall factory bloat. You *WILL* regret doing it. Use the options to hide most of it, use TitaniumBackup to freeze the rest. You will still be able to take OTA update with no issue, just install Voodoo to keep root.
You don't even need to unfreeze or unroot when an OTA comes out.

All system apps are .apk files. "Freezing" one with titanium backup or doing it manually will change the .apk extension to .bak (back up). Nothing is removed, just deactive. The apps don't run and wont appear in your app tray. They're dormant until unfrozen.
This is beneficial because many apps have ties with system functions or other apps that you don't know about. So if you accidentally break a link just unfreeze the app to fix the problem. Plus you'll need to do so in order to receive an OTA. If you don't the update with either not appear, or fail to install.

Hey all,
After doing the OTA update from verizon for droid razr max none of the apps that I could previously freeze/uninstall during the first leak can be frozen now. These include apps like mog video surf etc. I wanted to give out a heads up. Also, if anyone has any info on how to resume freezing the apps please let me know
if you go to manage apps, all, then pick the app you want to freeze, then tap uninstall updates, then you have the option to disable the app. i think this is as good a freezing. all of you disabled apps will be at the bottom of the all apps list. hope this helps.
Hello,
is there any way I can prevent specific application update and especially its update notification? Of course I don't want prevent ANY apps to notify updates available or update, but just some I like in their previous forms. Specifically, I'm talking about QuickPic, as I don't like new editing form. I have previous app backup of version 2.9 and I set in Google Play not to update automatically but it still gives me notifications that updates are available. I want to get rid of certain apps notifications and updates. Does anyone know any tool for that?
Titanium backup gives you the option to 'unlink apps from market' I'm sure there are other non paid apps that will do this too but I don't know what they are.......
