Google backup - HTC EVO 3D

How can I reinstall it in a Rom that the maker removed it?
Can't find any info on this.

Umm, well if you don't have a link to the zip file anymore, there is no way to install it. You will have to ask around and see if anyone has a copy of that zip file still.

if you just mean the built in google sync then you just have to install a google apps zip that will work with your rom to add all of google's stuff (including the sync/backup software)

I am specifically talking about the backup that takes place only when you start the phone for the first time.
After you sign in with your google account for the first time it asks if you would like to keep your phone backed up with google.
Many people don't like this feature because it reinstalls apps you had installed previously, but I like it becuase it reinstalls all and any WiFi passwords you have entered in your phone before.

Aww man I hate to say but I have to.
There's an app for that lol. Jk seriously though you could just make a notepad doc with your wifi pw and drop it on your sd and change the ext to jpeg and zip it. To view just unzip and change ext's. I've always done this since I've discovered rooting my phone. Its a few extra steps but worth it Imo.

I really prefer just letting Google backup reinstall all the passwords . I mean most runs leave this feature in, but I would like to re add it to miks as I really love his ROM minus the fact that he removed Google backup in the latest update.

Maybe I missed something but I thought Google just backed up contacts and such... I've NEVER seen password/data backup offered through them in the 3 yrs I've been using Android, but maybe I just didn't stop to read something on the getting started screen...

My Android devices have been doing backups that include passwords and such since June of 2010 with my og evo
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.

Sense Password Recovery Issue

Haven't seen anything about this posted yet so I guess I'll go ahead and post -
Forgot my password for Sense and it wont send me the recovery email (I've tried twice). Any suggestions, and is this a known issue?
You mean the pass word for the account or the password for the phone??

Apologies I should have been more clear - the account.
Cool. Well if you tried threw the pc then just do a data wipe it should reset all the passwords then just setup a new one. Mean while keep trying to retrieve your old one via email incase you have something you want from that account.

I know its a bummer dude but here's what I do. I keep a note pad file on my sd hidden in a folder and it has all of my passwords on there for my accounts. Then I just change the file ext to hide it even further. Just an idea for you. Good luck man

Good idea - I'll be following that example. It's just weird that they won't send me password recovery stuff to my email even though they say they are. I guess it's an issue on HTC's end?
How is wiping the phone gonna help him remember an htcsense.com password?
His email is already linked.
He needs to wait for that email from htc.
Otherwise, remove the sense account from settings/accounts and sync.

It wont. If you would read dude. I stated it would reset all passwords allowing him to setup a different account to use while he waits for his old account password.

He doesn't need a data wipe just to use a different sense account.

He can remove his sense account and start fresh w/o wiping the phone.
Are you purposefully trying to screw him up?

Hello,
I swapped out 3D's and too forgot my Sense and Watch Passwords. However, I did receive Emails with the new Passwords. Unlike most Services, it did take around 30 Minutes instead of being sent instantaneously. I would check your Junk/Trash Folder to make sure that they did not accidentally get sent there. Also, you could always call HTC and perhaps they might be able to assist you.
Cheers,
JJ

I might see if HTC can help otherwise I'll just setup a new account for sense. I requested the password last week and then again a little before I started this thread. No emails in spam.

HTC offline navigation

Maybe I've over looked it and if I have I apologize but what ever happened to HTC's offline navigation from the desire hd
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Haha, wow I completely forgot about that feature. They showed it off like it was going to be the next best thing. I wonder what happened to it.
yeah the whole HTCSense.com thing they made a big deal about and i just realized now that I dont show my EVO3D when I log into that site. Used to work fine when it was ported over to the EVO4G.
EDIT:
I deleted my account since I couldn't change the device from the one i created with the EVO4G port rom way back when. When creating a new one I found it odd that they even offer the ability to select the EVO3D as your device but you can't even set it up b/c you need the ability to sign into HTCSense from your device which we can't evidently since its not there in the setup to begin with.....WTF???
Yeah i was thinking about this feature and forgot about it.... Looks like htc did too lol.

yeah thats what im on the original OTA xHausx one posted. They are in the accounts and sync but when you redo setup like htcsense.com asks you to do, you dont get an htcsense.com page to log in.
on a side note im continuing to show there is an update for htcwatch, but ONLY when I view it under the htc hub apps page. I dont have it in the notification pulldown at all and when i select update it updates it fine but whenever i go back to see the app in htc hub it shows theres an update for it.
Keep in mind I dont have anything blocked here and have all the htc/sprint spy stuff still on it since im only on the stockrooted one xhausx originally put up. real odd behavior since it acts fine and says update is there but not in the notification pulldown.
Also noticed i can't connect to the HTC Sense server right now for some reason. opening up HTC Likes app from the app drawer gives me the "unable to connect to the HTC Sense server. please try again later." message. Guess they might be doing work on it b/c i have full connection here fine....would explain why i couldn't get it to work on htcsense.com earlier too i guess.
BUT, i can go to accounts&sync and have HTCSense sync both HUB and Sense fine...
I'm not sure what is OP's question about it. I have offline Navigation on my Rogers EVO 3D. I read that it is a 30-day trial, but I didn't see anything like that when I use it.

If you got that far, I suggest just going with QuikSense. Has a stock feel to it, just more memory and it's faster. Nice list of mods too. Working great for me. Past couple hours have been awesome.

Just say goodbye already! Haha. QuikSense has the stock feel, it's faster and doesn't have the useless crap. Do it up. Most of the apps that install from Market backup can be removed, like the T-Mobile apps if they auto copy over.
this should be in the general not development section.
anyways yeah flash quiksense. It's debloated stock, with enhancement in performance, battery life, and coolness.

Been running QSense for two days already and I like it but, still, some more apps that I'ld like to remove, though.
Using TB to frozed several apps like Peep, Twiter, Stocks, Tell HTC and so far so good. I'll removed them all after testing some more. I need to test frozen 'em one-by-one first to make sure before get rid of them for good

you can virtually remove all the obvious widgets and apps. Just don't touch any that may sound that it would be used by the system itself. Some apps for example wifi calling with FC like there's no tomorrow, but it would be fixed if you fixed permissions in recovery..
Actually i think you can remove anything that has a widget lol
I'm wondering myself what apps should I remove from the ROM. I would be grateful for any description of following apk files so that it would be easier for me to decide. I can't test it myself because I don't have Amaze 4G.

I hate to revive an old thread, but I just switched to stock and tried removing some bloat, and with the stock ROM being odexed, I've had some issues trying to remove apps. So now I'm stock again, fully unlocked, rooted, and full of bloatware.
Now the OP posted my SAME EXACT question, but to no surprise to THIS community, he didn't get much of a TRUE answer aside from the one I quoted. Now that we've all had this phone for a while, is there any updates from others who are running stock rooted on what is safe/unsafe to debloat?
Thanks everyone
PS... And can a mod please move this to Q&A or general... Doesn't belong in development.

Well I know that --IQ-tmobile-release-signed-zipaligned-v1.1.apk-- is Carrier IQ, so you probably would want to remove that. The thing is, I don't know how badly it will mess with your phone though. So remove it at your own risk.

Yeah, there are 2 files associated with carrieriq...one is an odex file I think...use root explorer to find it. Just type in ciq in the search box and it will show both files. Once you remove the apk, you will have to do a battery pull

Looking at that list I'd say I removed every one of those apps minus internet and magic smoke wallpapers so you should be good to remove them. The system manager app you listed is carrieriq and freezing it does nothing

You think I should leave internet, or it shouldn't matter since my apps that use data and/or browsing work fine with it frozen?

I'd prolly leave it. Make sure you do 'clear dalvik cache' from within tb after you've removed what you want. Save carrieriq (system manager) till the end because its gonna go into fc city once you uninstall it. Then pull the battery and reboot

VCast uploading media without permission?

My wives phone nightly is attempting (and succeeding) to backup her entire music library, pictures and videos to their server. We've disabled the sync and we're not subscribed to Vcast. It wouldn't be a huge problem except that her line isn't unlimited data and she's barely under her data allowance each month. I'm unlimited and I still don't use near the data her phone claims she does. I'm on XDA so you know I'm VERY data intensive. Comes with the territory right? Has anyone else ran into this problems? If so do you have any solutions?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Is the phone rooted?
If so, just delete the VCast files from /system/app
Alternately (and probably safer if possible) you can try to see if you can "disable" any VZW services that you're not using by going to Settings > Apps > All Apps. Find the Vcast service app (and also probably HTC Media Upload Service), select them, and hopefully the "Disable" button is available for those apps.
Disable button is a benefit of having a 4.0 and above ROM. Unfortunately I've not rooted these phones so it's not even an option. Good suggestion though.

Ahh, boo. You're right.
OK, so go into the accounts section in settings and make sure the HTC account is disabled and none of the services are set to sync. I can't remember the GB interface off the top of my head so I can't be more specific right now, sorry..
But without root, you'll likely have to figure out how to shut the service down via its interface in the settings menu.
The basic info/solution tech support offered was to watch when it attempts to start and disable data. She could find no logical reason for it to act like it is .

That hardly seems like a solution. So basically they say you have to babysit your phone and disable data when it tries to do something you haven't told it to do?
If it were me, I'd bite the bullet and wipe it. Hopefully she used the Google services for contacts and stuff instead of VZWs so most everything should automatically come back. I'd rather spend a day restoring my phone than have to bother with monitoring it all the time because its acting up for unknown reasons..
Might as well take this as your opportunity to unlock the bootloader and root it too, since the unlock process forces you to wipe the phone anyways..
Plus once you unlock it, you can use Amon Ra to do nandroid backups and then your phone is forever protected from stupid things like this, as long as you backup every now and then.
Go to settings > accounts & settings . Look for any Verizon or vcast account, you click it, unchecked box for "backup music"
Just unlock it and put ICS on!
Problem solved.
Did she go on to her My Verizon page on the Verizon website? I noticed this new Vcast cloud feature when I was changing features on my phone's service last night. (I removed wifi Hotspot since the Hotspot app on the Rezound doesn't work properly and they ain't gonna fix it anytime soon.) Under the features section their are several cloud options. The default 500 megabytes options is Free and was already active on my features even though I don't remember activating it. However, there was an option to remove this feature. Might be worth a try.

at&t hotspot apk

on CM, and they took out a lot of bloat which is good
but there was an app on stock at&t rom that would log you in automatically when you get to at&t hotspots(like mcdonalds) etc
anybody have this .apk?
i download my previous rom and opened it up, didnt see anything called that
anybody know the exact name to look for or has the apk ? thanks

hmmmm ok, well i saw that but skipped over it
because on all my other roms/including stock, i dont remember it being an app,it would just auto-connect
and it was always a system apk as well
let me go check it out though
It was excluded because CM10 has absolutely nothing to do with ATT. Or any phone for that matter. So unless somebody kangs CM10 and adds in an app, it's going to always be as bare bones Android as you can get.
Essentially, CM10 isn't ever a bloat removed version of any phones stock ROM, because it's build from aosp source, so the bloat was never there to begin with, and likely wouldn't be added in anyways.

ATT hotspots is a stock rom system app ...
The only way to get it ...is pull the apk from a stock rom ...g

I like that app as well. That wsa the only thing I didn't like about my ROM, so I did a nandroid, restored to stock, pulled that system app, and restored my nandroid.
Lucky for you and anyone else that wants it, I just happen to have placed it in my Dropbox.
Make sure to place it in /system/app (Don't install it like a normal APK) and change permissions to rw-r--r--
You will need to manually connect to attwifi the first time if you haven't already.

Make sure to place it in /system/app (Don't install it like a normal APK) and change permissions to rw-r--r--
You will need to manually connect to attwifi the first time if you haven't already.

way different
the system app one is just hotspots,mostly ATnT ones i believe
the one in the market can affect connection to your home wifi and work etc
plus, ones an app you can open, the other isnt

It connects automatically when you're in range?

the system app one, like if you're at mcndonalds , will connect to it automatically (mcndonalds is one of the stores on ATnT wifi partnerships)
if you didnt have the app, you can still connect(its free wifi no password) but you would have to first open up a browers, read the agreement, and hit accept blah blah, before you can start using the wifi. again the system app skips all that and just connects you

It also skips all the payment info at some places that still charge for WiFi, so long as it's powered by AT&T. I wouldn't mind having this feature back as well, even though I'd rarely ever use it. Honestly, my cell is faster than the WiFi at any Starbucks or McDonalds around here. But I can see a use for it while traveling. Maybe download one of the stock ROM flashable zips and just extract the necessary apk, put it in /system/app and see if it will work that way. I'd try myself, but I'm a tad busy lately and already in trouble for all my downloading this month.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the one on Play is too bloated. I don't want that junk handling all my WiFi.
Is this what you guys are looking for

on CM, and they took out a lot of bloat which is good
but there was an app on stock at&t rom that would log you in automatically when you get to at&t hotspots(like mcdonalds) etc
anybody have this .apk?

anybody know the exact name to look for or has the apk ? thanks

I just rooted Sony Ericsson Xperia X10a and was going through the cleanup list when I came across this file. I wasn't sure what this file was for until I read this post. I am cleaning it up but here is a copy - in case you can make use of it.

Good call. He's clearly not as crafty and trustworthy as you, Mr. Replying-to-a-year-old-post. You're really the gold standard in solid membership.
Boom!

Well, Mr. Useless Retort, I was searching for this very apk and was about to download it until I looked at his stats. You see, the fact that a post is a year old doesn't make a lot of difference if it has information you need. You see, Mr Useless, that's why the forum goes back many years.
Note that my reply wasn't intended for him, it was to warn off anybody else who might think about downloading this.
See how that works??
I think you can get this apk from the market, or what I do is google for apks -- especially older ones when the market updates me and the update sucks. I haven't been burned yet.

Googling for the apk is what brought me to this thread. I've never been burned with a download, either, but then I've never downloaded one from somebody with a single post.
