Verizon bloatware backup - HTC Rezound

I recently exchanged my rezound for a like new one via warranty. I have unlocked it and rooted the stock rom. Before s-off'ing and putting in a custom rom, I wanted to back up Let's Golf 2 HD. I'm not quite sure whether or not verizon would try charging me again for the app since its a new phone, same account, but regardless: I can't figure out how to backup the full version instead of the demo. Any thoughts?
Also, should I use rezrom or newts one? if the latter, rls3 or 3.1.2?
Thanks!

Not sure about the rom choice you have to make but as for the game, if you have purchased the full version though Google Play, it is forever yours. All you have to do is just redownload it from the Play store.

It was part of Verizon's bloatware. It was not purchasable via the play store and gamesoft pretends to not support the rezound/vigor. The full version was purchased through the carrier bill as it was an inapp purchase.

Ask verizon. Just act like you got a new phone and they should tell you how, or if it is even possible.

Titanium backup should be able to back it up and then restore after putting a new Rom on.

Anyone have the apk for the non-verizon version?
I hate the one Verizon forces you to use. It says in the market "This item is not available on your carrier"

pretty sure that no one has been able to figure out how to crack the newer versions. And the old versions won't open, make you update. So I guess you are out of luck.
How dare verizon expect you to be a verizon customer to use something that they paid millions for the exclusive on...
There is no non Verizon version. The NFL mobile app is a Verizon exclusive and I even had to put my verizon online user name and password in to use it when I dl it on my rezound

This is incorrect as I had the NORMAL NFL app (don't think it was called NFL mobile just NFL) for my old incredible S in tmobile. As with the original poster I don't think we get that one. Maybe if you get the apk from somewhere else and try to install it may work.

nope, pretty sure the OP means the cracked verizon one to make it work on other carriers. They were able to do this last year, but verizon kept updating it, making the old ones update before they would work, and eventually people got tired of trying to crack it.

Not trying be difficult but the OP says non-verizon version, not a cracked one of the verizon version.
As I said this was/is available for non-verizon phones as I had in on my Incredible S using tmobile.

I just googled t mobile nfl app and got a bunch of links for cracked verizon apps that used to work. I could find nothing about any t mobile nfl app. Think you just had a cracked version of the verizon app. Verizon pays millions to have that exclusive with the nfl.

It wasn't a tmobile specific app, it was simply a NFL official app for all non-verizon customers. I'll see if I can take a photo of the app on a friends phone.
All the app did was show scores and allows you to follow along play by play similar to the espn app.

NFC and Google wallet?

It states it has NFC, but will it be able to use Google wallet. I know Verizon doesn't want users to have or use Google wallet, however haven't seen anything addressing this. It it will be able to do Google wallet, this WILL be my next phone.

it been asked in a couple of threads, and currently you can download the google wallet app, but when you try to use it it pops up with an error about it not being supported your device or mobile network
I currently have the nexus, and mine says unsupported, but still works. I guess I will order the phone and see what I can do.

hopefully the wonderful devs can get it to work, since currently that pops up right after you try to launch the app. it doesnt even go into the app
No verizon does not support google wallet. Currently sprint is only one with google voice and wallet. I have the evo lte and yeah i do have wallet but the damn thing is a pain in the azz to deal with if you flash alot. You have to flash it seperately and wipe it clean after every flash and reset it up everytime. Everytime you flash a rom you will have to reset up card info name addy etc. I quit using it isnt worth the time or hassle.

I dunno though i get the same unsupported message with my evo on sprint being rooted. Not many places take it anyhow and it really doesnt save much time. Ive found that many places there end is messed up. This is definately something that is something that makes no difference to me if it has it or not. I have it and dont think ive used it in over a month.

Another EVOLTE user here, I believe that the need to wipe gWallet settings between flashes has been resolved and no longer needed FWIW....
Just stopped by Verizon and Google wallet is a supported app in play store. Amazing!!

But that alone means nothing. Wallet is still is not supported on Verizon and it is sounding like we'll need a modified version to side-load for Wallet to work.
Yeah, I tried to install it from the play store. It opens then tells me the device/network is not supported and quits. Such a shame. F'in Verizon...

[Q] VZW Demo App

I have an Unlocked Verizon Note 2 I was wondering how do I stop VZW Demo App for re-installing itself. I keep uninstall it but re-install itself minutes later. My sister got it off craigslist, so I'm stuck with the phone. Is it possible to root it and put it on a different rom or install a stock rom to it?
Edit: Just realize post this in the wrong section some one please move it to the right one please.

Thats what I thought also, but it would have a bad esn if that were the case. Factory wipe it, and if that doesnt work, ordin back to stock.

Not to hijack a thread, but does Verizon actually block lte phones that are lost and stolen? Or is it like gsm where it will still work with a good SIM?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Seeing as they still have IMEIs im pretty sure they can be blocked if they are reported. I have read in the GS3 forums where some guys had gotten the phone off ebay or craiglist and VZW woupdnt activate it dues to it being reported stolen. They didnt have a 4g sim card though and were trying to get VZW to send them one so while that still leaves it uo in the air...
Im pretty sure if you use a phone on VZW that is reported stolen then they will block it and contact you, and im pretty sure theyd be able to even tho we use sim cards in 4g phones now.
When the first iphone came out I got one, I was young and stupid, and it got stolen within a month. When i called AT&T and reported it stolen they told me that it had been activated on a different account and that they were blocking it off of their network permanently and would contact the user and ask them to return it. I dont know what ever came of it cause they were supposed to contact me if they got it back, I assume they didn't, but even they could block a phone permanently back then sooo......

Need to remove VZW app. Can someone help?
Remove VZW Demo App.
you will need to root the device and remove/move 2 System Apps.
location : /system/app/
Apps to move/remove:
com.customermobile.preload.main.apk
com.customermobile.preload.apk
use the following commands
mv com.customermobile.preload.main.apk com.customermobile.preload.main.apk.bk
mv com.customermobile.preload.apk com.customermobile.preload.apk.bk
that should do it.
you can use SafeRoot for the Note 2.
then you can uninstall the VZWDemo app in Settings/Applications/All.
Good Luck
this is a super old thread, but the question still remains. I purchased an OLD LG Intuition, it has the VZW Demo app on it. Everytime i delete it, it redownloads itself when I connect to wifi. Anybody know how to stop it redownloading?
install app freezer with no root, check google play for any app freezer which doesnt needs root

Do I need to worry about not being able to root?

Hey guys and gals, I am coming over to T-Mobile from Verizon on Thursday, and most likely getting the HTC One in the process.
Maybe this is a Verizon thing, but sometimes when you accept an OTA update, it will break root, relock the bootloader and you are stuck without root if you take the update.
Do I need to worry about that on T-Mobile and the One? In other words, when I'm in the store purchasing the phone, should I try and stop them from running any updates? Or can I root regardless?
Thanks!

If you root on tmobile then you won't get any OTA updates, so that's a moot worry. Luckily the updates pop on here pretty quickly so you can simply sideload them.

I understand that and I totally intend to root my phone. But what if the sales rep runs the update on the phone while activating it? Will I still be able to root and s-off?

I'm happy without root. Only thing that I hate is that I can't get rid of kids mode, that water game, carrier iq, and lookout. However, because I have the premium handset protection I got the paid version for free recently which is nice.
As well as the T-Mobile apps visual voicemail (i want to use Google voice and can't) , T-Mobile tv, and the name id app that has since expired from the trial period which is stupid if you ask me. Spend $600 bucks and can't get something like that free.

You can disable Lookout and the T-Mobile apps in Settings > apps > all
Scroll down and find them one-by-one, click on the app, click "disable"

[Q] If you have a rooted phone, can you use the One Up program for an upgrade?

I was just wondering will Sprint let you upgrade to a new device with the One Up Program (or with their standard upgrade program) if you have a rooted phone? I have an EVO 4G LTE rooted with CM 10.1 and my upgrade is a few months away. Did Sprint give anyone problems? Or do they not care?
Thanks
It is best that you unroot your phone, but it shouldn't hurt you. just hide the root app

My store (in Orange County, CA) is a pain in the butt with the phone being in a hacked state, if you can hide the Unlocked bootloader state, you will almost be certain to be good to go.

Thanks everyone. Hopefully sprint doesnt give me any problems.
The store here didn't care when I traded in my rooted and custom ROM Evo 3D
I've never seen em give a damn about root and custom ROMs, after having my screen replaced 3 times and speaker twice (last speaker got me a whole new bezel, but I remained S-off, so I know they didn't swap out. YMMV. If there's more than one store close, I'd just go do it with root, if they give you any guff, flash stock and hit the other one.

You can always just RUU the phone and use regaw leinads tool to set it back so the bootloader looks like it is s-off!
I've traded in rooted phones at my local corporate store and they never cared, even when I told them it was rooted.
