Hello ppl.
I was currently using siyah and quite satisfied with it.
But now i decided to test other kernels too.
So i want to replace it.
I know full procedure but theres only one problem....
Siyah kernel also installs an app called "Stweaks" that helps us to control it.
And i know, if i change the kernel, this app will still be there, right?
If yes, please tell me a way to remove it safely.
Titanium will let you remove it safely.
es file explorer can remove it
press thanks if i helped
It sits in system/apps since your root you can go there and delete anytime but I'd do it after you flash another kernel. Any file mgr with root best is root explorer. Reboot after

When you install another kernel it will overwrite any apps coming from Siyah (STweaks) so without removing this app flash another custom kernel,i tried it and it worked fine.

Is this same with the themes?
I have PinkNina theme on my Galaxy S3 Omega Rom.
How can I remove that theme?
Installing another theme, could remove the PinkNina theme? or should I uninstall it first? (I don't know how to do)
Thanks.

I used SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
And it worked for rooting my TELUS Fasinate with the JL3 Froyo leak! Worked like a charm! Thanks to CLShortFuse!
Gonna try right now...wish me luck!
EDIT! WORKS!!!! I HAVE SU!! Didn't do anything exect follow the steps on the video! Click start and your phone will be rooted!
I wonder if we need to install busybox? I'll search the one-click thread and see if we need it.
Hmmm...Dave are you having any problems with root access? I installed rom manager and clockwork, but it won't boot into custom recovery, it says "signature verification failed", so no clockwork, also, I have root explorer, and I moved a bunch of bloat to a junk folder on the internal sd card, but they are still in the system/app folder! Even if i choose delete, root explorer will delete the app but as soon as you refresh the folder they are still there...
EDIT: Figured out ROOT EXPLORER problem, just had to close and restart ROOT EXPLORER, and now my bloat is moved to a junk folder in the sd card!! ALso I was able to disable the stupid boot and shutdown sounds!

It's nothing to do with the Root. Froyo requires a signed .zip or it won't install. We need the stock kernel modded!
I was wondering if it's possible when we have the stock kernel to flash the CM one, install CWR, then flash the stock one back. Would that keep root and CWR working?

I don't think that would work, the stock kernel once flashed overtop of the modded kernel would reset the setting back to "no unsigned zips" so then CWR would not work, well technically it works but we can't get there.
We simply (well, on second thought, maybe not so simply) need to mod the stock kernel, then we can have a custom recovery and even maybe OC/UV with set CPU (if someone can mod the stock kernel) Thanks again Dave, 2.2 is working great, and with root access now I have no bloat, no stupid boot sounds, and the phone fast and stable and also looks great with Launcher pro and beautiful widgets.
My Desire is going on ebay pretty soon...
PS - the genie widget that would FC was for 2.1, I found a genie widget that was for 2.2 and works great.
This is awesome! Adfree working now with the full javascript capabilities of froyo, very, very nice work everyone! I had a few issues at first because I was messing around with other various root methods. After a fresh flash of stock 2.2 thru odin, and rooting first thing using one-click method above, fixed all my issues. I noticed crazy keyboard lag after rooting but a quick reset of the device fixed that. Finally this device is at the level I had in mind when I bought it! We just need to oc/uv the stock kernel now and judging by the uv capabilities in other galaxy s handsets I think we have ourselves a winner!!!!!!
I'm still learning so this might be a dumb question.....
I've read a few how tos on signing the update.zip. can't I just take the file cwr makes and sign it?

Hell it's worth a shot, right? Be careful, it would seem nothing really bad can happen, but even if it does, you have the files to flash back to stock anyways.

It`s another way to make a restore if I did a backup with CWM?
What did you backup ???
On what phone and what app to backup .
What CWM recovery are you using .
or are you trying to restore a backup from a different phone ??
Post is rather confusing .

MD5 is a way to control a TAR file.
It will missmath as well if you try to access the file via 7-Zip for instance.
Try to find same file elseware from the web, or excrtact end rebuild a direct tar file.
Good luck
I don't like CWM4 on CF-root
The reason i don't like it is: It makes the recovery disappear after about a day of use, Then i have to reflash, i don't want to do that.
CWM removes it's self for me
The thing i don't like about CF-Root, is and this may be my fault, It freezes some of my rooted apps that freeze bloatware (Easy Freezy) and it also removes the custom recovery by it's self
When i go into the app and click reboot recovery, it boot into Android system recovery.
I then have to reflash in order to get ClockworkMod back.
This other Root meathord: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Does NOT freeze some rooted apps like Easy Freezy and Adfree like CF root does for some reason.
Help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
Hi there,
I can't be the only one who thinks the TouchWiz apps suck (particularly the SMS app). Is there a way to replace them with the stock ICS ones?
I'd rather keep TouchWiz for now until other ROMs become more stable, so flashing another ROM with the stock apps wouldn't be ideal. Could I simply root and replace the TouchWiz .apk from the system app folder and replace with the ICS .apk and re-boot?
Could I also use this method to remove all the included bloat (chatON etc)?
Finally, if I root my S3 is there a way to un-root it in order to get it repaired under warranty?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, I hate the stock messaging app, which is why after I rooted, I installed GO SMS Pro and then froze the stock messaging with Titanium Backup (don't uninstall it, just freeze it).
I'm sure there's a way to replace them with stock ICS ones, it's just a case of finding out how :3.
If you install Omega v5.0 the Aroma Installer Script actually asks you what bloatware you want on your phone and again if you have Titanium Backup you can also remove any junk left over (like Game Hub).
And yes, you can un-root or leave root and try your luck with Triangle-Away from CF.
EDIT: If you want to manually remove junkware, be sure to have a nandroid backup just incase you remove something you shouldn't.

Thanks for that. So once I root all I have to do to un-root is run Triangle-Away?
I love the stock ICS apps, SMS, dialer (and contacts).. basically CM9 which is 95% stock ICS. I would love to enable all these features on my S3.. any idea how? I'm reluctant to flash a custom ROM, as everything is working
Just those few things I would like to revert to stock ICS.. must be a way??!
There is an app in the market called ics messaging that looks like stock. It has ads tho

I'd be more comfortable placing a stock phone.apk, contacts.apk etc etc over top of my current ones than installing random apps
Wonder if the CM9 ones can be copied in place?

If you install the Omega play store app, there's a simple and fairly automated option to replace the samsung sms app with the stock one.
I've installed the Omega app, how do I this if I have a stock rom? Rooted

Pretty much the whole point of XDA is about custom ROM's what makes you think that just because everything is working now on stock that it won't be on a custom ROM, custom ROM's are undoubtedly far better than stock for the most part but it's your phone so entirely up to you just some friendly advice
Okay read the other post about this not using it should I say. What is the best and safest way to remove it ????
Help some of us novice noobs out...
PS. How about the other TWRP I use this on my HOX and it seems to work great without a hitch...
PS. I knew it was ROM that helped me brick my Nitro for sure now...

I thought ROM manager was an app? (Never used it) So if it is, couldn't you use TiBu to remove it? If it's not an app, I would still like to know if it's possible to get rid of, without switching ROMs of course.

ROM and CWM are together on my phone it came when I installed CM9.. I have not really used it though just to put in recovery mode. I have installed anything via internal SD from the PC to phone ... As it seemed prior the phone was having an issue so have avoided it. I am thinking just leave it as said and just don't use.
My phone is running smooth and great even battery life over the last couple days has doubled. I was just curious actually if TiBu would be the way to remove it IF I should need to.

CM9 came with ROM and CWM together in one app upon install. I was curious if I should remove through TIBU and then download Goo Manager from the market instead and install that... I just don't want to mess up my phone again as it runs great without a hitch.

Just delete it from /system/app or move it from /system/app to your sd card. This uninstalls it while keeping the apk should you want to use it again.

Just do this ^^^ and don't worry about anything.
The phone has absolutely no dependency on rom manager. Neither does your recovery. Cwm operation is independent from rom manager.
In CM9, ROM Manager cannot be uninstalled, but gives you an option to disable it. After that, it won't show up on the Apps Drawer again. That's what I did. If you did install any updates, you have to uninstall all updates and then the disable button will show up to be selected. HTH.

Interesting, the thing is people don't need to totally delete Rom Manager, they just should not use it to avoid major issues.

I used the thread here to root T-mobile HTC-one. I have been trying to remove several things from the phone Lookout, KidMode and google talk; however I couldn't do any of them. I tried using Titanium backup and no bloat for the removal, but they are still there. Any help appreciated.
Aroha,
I'm new to all this too, but from what I've read here, T-MaBell has it wired to reinstall the bloat when it detects it's gone or something like that.
To get around it, ya gotta flash a new kernel and/or ROM.
TiBa let's you freeze the bloatware so I guess that's the best it can get unless you start getting into deeper water.
Good luck

I had the same problem on myTouch 4G ages ago. Any app that you remove that came with the phone will be reloaded when you reboot your phone. I think it has to do with the stock ROM and the way it set.
You can disable lookout and other crap in Application settings in settings. It will be on your phone but it will be completely idle
for example; once someone decrypts the phone, when i make my rom and host, when u download it, you can actually take anything you want out of the zip, thats what i do when i make a stock not root rom, i make another rom for myself, i remove everything else i dont want, change to boot animation, then i use that for my personal rom..
what you need for your rom, is a kernal with read and write access...

You can also remove them from the recovery. if you have TWRP you can reboot into recovery and use the file manager to delete them from system/apps The system dir is write protected while the phone is running.
