What program to use and what is safe to freeze? I have already tried AntTek app manager and App Quarantine. I have root explorer and not quiet sure how to use it to freeze apps.
I use Super Manager but I think the free ver won't do freezing. Its build into the apk manager.

Use root explorer to find the system/app .apk u wanna freeze and rename it to.bak
Be careful..freezing some apps can cause force closes or issues in other apps if they are dependent on the one u froze....nandroid first just in case u need to restore
Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) and ROM Toolbox Pro (paid version) freeze apps.
I don't know of any free app that does this.

Only thing is BF used to be the BEST at it.
And was a lightweight app SPECIFICALLY for freezing.
I didn't want an app with all those "features" I didn't use so were useless to me
I can see at the apks in root explorer. Now how do i change the last part and when i do change it where should i store it.
Ashclepdia I hope you year has started out good... And thanks for all the steps on rooting my phone. Your right once you start it becomes addicting and eclipse is cool, I wish i could use the boot up screen as a live wallpaper..
And again thanks for everything on rooting

Lol
I didn't create rooting
I know what you mean tho lol
All u gotta do is long press the apk and choose rename....and just add to the name .bak
(u gonna have to mount/system as R/W first to be able to edit anything though....just Tap the gray button on top of screen once u are in /system/app)
After you rename it there is no reason to move it. You could just move the apk to your sd card or straight up delete also. But I don't recommend that until u figure out what is safe to remove without causing problems....
As I said tho...be careful what u "freeze"
Things like Yahoo.apk if frozen will break your contacts.. They will force close on u.
Ooh yeah...and thank you hope yours is too
And your welcome.
Have fun experimenting! Lol
Ok.. Got it so it will just stay in the same location. So, no freezing yahoo.. My year has started out not drama free...lol

Speaking of this does anyone know the apk name for places and latitude. It just clutters my drawer.

I had to switch from tmobile to verizon because of new employment and could not pass up the cost. I now have a droid 2 and a stock vibrant. I wanted to see if it is possible to pull the sims and the feeds and updates widget off the phone and put on my droid. Does anyone know if this is possible. thanks
It's possible. I think more than half the people in here have already uninstalled all of those unwanted apps. You have to be rooted, and have a terminal of some sort. I use "Better Terminal" which is AWESOME. I used it to uninstall all the bloatware.

Oh, sorry for misunderstanding.
I believe you can pull out the software... I've pulled out software and put it on my gf's phone. You can try it with Root Explorer [you have to be rooted].
The files are in system/app folder.
Ok, i went ahead and rooted the vibrant and used root explorer to get the file i needed for the widget. It must be a samsung thing only because it will not install on my droid.
No you can't get any samsung widgets on the droid they only work with tw. You can't evan use them if you are using adw or launcher plus.

Have you or anyone tested the rom to verify this? While a new rom with extra would be great, I wouldn't want to waste time downloading something that didn't improve my phone but on the other hand I'd like several people to give an opinion after installing the rom to verify it works or doesn't work.
Ive got it on my phone just now and while the OP is correct, it is full of pirated apps but with its JIT enabled the bloody thing flies lol.
Marketplace is fine for me so far.
I must admit im a bit disappointed as well and will be reverting back to my old backup for now till something better comes along.
I tried it too, and finally restored to do same modifications myself, due to some bugs : physical keyboard in qwerty (was AZERTY, impossible to come back), no more Sym/àü, ...
Done in 2 hours.
I actually went back to his ROM due to the speed difference.
I also installed Titanium Backup to get rid of some of the crap he installed which cant normally be uninstalled.
I use Fancy Widget Pro but the Taskiller hes installed keeps killing it
You need the Titanium Pro version though to uninstall stuff.

You can download the Titanium Pro using the Applanet, but yes, it's warez...
Or you can uninstall the Taskiller using the Root Explorer (just go to system/app and remove the app you don't want).
Or you can add the Fancy Widget Pro to the list of exceptions of the Taskiller.

Try adding an icon of the Taskiller to a dock of the Launcher Pro. That's what I did.

Good idea, never thought of that lol
No matter anyway as i uninstalled it
or use advanced task killer, which lets you put it on ignore.
You can also improve speed, as well as battery life, by deleting a lot of the "sony ericsson" crap found under "backup" when opening titanium. Additionally, delete SE's "home" if you don't use it and any language packs under "system/user/keyboard-config" and "system/usr/zi"
I've also erased bluetooth, GPS, maps and text to speech (since i don't use them) without any problem.
Other tips for saving space -
Delete unecessary ringtones, alarms etc... under system/media/audio
Delete unecessary wallpaper from system/etc/customization/content/com/sonyericsson/homescreen/wallpaper
Delete boot animation (sorry, can't remember where this was)
Of course this isn't for averyone but personally I like a slimmed down, respnsive phone
Any way of getting the stock SMS/MMS back?
Cant stand the delay with notifications in Handcent
I recently flashed CM7 6.5.8 to my Optimus T (P-509)...it's really impresive. Anyway, the one thing I really liked (functionally & aesthetically) on the stock ROM is the Connection Manager that allows you to activate a data connection as well as monitor if wi-fi is being used or 3G data. It is true that CM7 provides this same functionality with the Power Controls widget...I just like the stock version more. Unfortunately, when I restore the stock Connection Manager via Titanium Backup, it doesn't seem to fully restore. For instance, placing the Connection Manager widget on my home screen only displays the title of the widget and nothing else. Clicking said widget does allow me to make my connection but the visual appeal is lacking.
Is it even possible to restore system apps/widgets to CM7 or is this a limitation of the ROM?
Thanks,
Is the widget you want called ConnectionManagerWidget.apk?if so here is the attachent.Install root explorer go to system/app mount as r/w place the ConnectionManagerWidget.apk there and change the permissions to rw-/r--/r--(if you don't know what is this look into the permissions off another app)
Thanks for the file! Seems like it should be what I want. However, do you know if it's possible to change the permissions without Root Explorer? Maybe with Terminal Emulator?
I've transfered the file to /system/app but it isn't even recoginized as a widget option. At least when I restored the original widget it appeared as an option and was semi-functional. I hate to waste money on Root Explorer if this widget won't work. I've already wasted money on Groove IP for less than stellar performance. Not that $4-$5 bucks here or there will kill me but buy enough apps that don't perform and it can add up quickly.
Regardless, thanks again.

Just FYI....Rom Toolbox Pro is currently 50% off @ Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro
Normally a $5.99 app now $2.99.
I highly recommend this. It is aptly named. It takes you from five or six different apps to one.
How does the backup compare to TB?
I find it to be better except for the lack of dropbox support. If you install an app, RT automatically backs it up which has saved my butt a couple times.
My only question is, is it worth it since I have TB Pro, Root Explorer, and Set CPU bought already?

Had this app a long time, it's by far the best root app out there. It's like combining those, the various apps for build.prop mods, terminal & script apps, autostarts, auto memory manager, and some of the themeing apps.
Not the worst $3 dollars your ever gonna spend

I bought this app and love it as it literally got rid of about 8 apps for me. Does rooted stock support the ability to change icons such as the battery or usb connected?

Yes and no. Lets say market gets updated to play. ROM Toolbox then creates a backup of Play as soon as it's installed.
Grabbed this on Lokifishes recommendation. Replaces a few apps I've already bought. It also seems like it doesn't really do a lot of the Rom managing stuff itself but I'll have to look deeper into that.
Fyi - if you are on any version of cyanogenmod. If you want to install a font, you need to choose your font, apply it, cancel the reboot, install the font again, decline the reboot, then manually reboot. If you don't do this, there is a 95.73859% chance your phone will bootloop.
Cheers

I have my TB backup every night. So my app data is never lost.
Anyone else getting an error when trying to undervolt with this app? Using Loki's 1.0.4 with jokers 1.3 kernel.
I was just curious if anyone has looked into rooting / unlocking the Oregon Scientific Meep tablet for kids? I havent seen a post on it, but would like to know if anyone had looked at it and how easy/difficult it would be.
Thank you.
Me too, the launcher sucks for kids.
Yep i would like too...

If anyone figures out how to root this PITA let me know please. My family is technologically challenged and I help them with their tech problems. This meep is something only an overprotective mother can see any good qualities in. You can't even look at it without it being logged and sent to the parent control panel, which has been bugged out and half working every time I try to use it. Anyway, I guess my point is that I want to root it and make a proper tablet out of it. Until then, I suppose I will try to convince my family to return the damn thing and get my little sister a Nexus 7 instead.
I found it out by accident. Just install super su and some app which relies on root, I installed titanium backup and it works.
I also installed nova launcher and its also working. For app market, you can try and install root explorer and change permissions.
This could work, but since this tablet is for my little daughter, I am not interested in using market on meep.
he guys, keep in mind, this tablet is for your kids. let them play on it, not you!

I might have to go through with the process later, it would seem that there is yet another problem (big freakin surprise there). I did a factory reset and i may have to log into my sister's google play account again, the only problem is the only way i know of to open google play is to use the parent control thing to do it, and that is not working. I'd call support and ask about it, but honestly i've read all over the internet that they will just put you on hold and hang up on you.
