i rooted my phone and install cm9 then i want to move all my internal stuff into my system rom but is already 6mb out of 200mb how do i clean it up?
Use titanium backup
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
using it
i want to know that format system in recovery formats the internal or system rom.
Cause the first time i use titanium backup i move everything on the rom on the stock version then i keep on doing that cause my phone goes bricked cause of uninstalling the wrong things that causes my phone. Then i finally got it running but somehow i use every format in the recovery and did factory reset then system rom still did not increase the size?
Remove the unnecessary apps from the rom using titanium backup or link2sd.....or replace the high memory consuming apps with other alternatives...like trebuchet with zeam....etc.
System Rom
I free system rom in the following way:
1) Remove apps like All live wallpaper,Gtalk, text to speech etc.which i don't use.But don't delete "live wallpaper picker".
2) Go to root/system/media/audio by using root explorer or else and mount r/w.Delete heavy sized ringtones,Notifications etc. upto 50kb.
Can try this. I m managing ICS this way.Other suggestions are most welcome!!

Thanks:laugh:
hello, I am totally useless noobs.
sorry for bad english.
here's my question :
1. is it possible to remove an original apps (some developer apps / something that cannot be removed even I reset it to factory setting) without rooting my phone??
because I've read somehing in this forum about "ROM kitchen", so I can modify the stock ROM. because so many apps that I want to uninstall it.
2. how to get my current ROM in my phone??
I've search it for 4 days and no one have it. Sometimes I want to go back with the same firmware like I used now.
in order to remove system apps, you have to be rooted, you can uninstall it using titanium backup,

The stock rom, or the rom, or the firmware, is just the /system folder in your device.
In that folder you have to delete (or rename) in the folder /system/app/yourname.app and the corresponding .odex file to delete it from rom.
You can also use CWM.zip + Aroma Manager and load them sequentially from Recovery, choose in Aroma Manager to mount all partitions and do the above.
[Guide] Types of Android backups
There's also the possibility to modify yourself the rom, but, is much more difficult. If you are using Vodafone o other operator custom rom probably there is the unlocked one and is official (stock) as well.
could someone give me some tips on removing the bloat from recovery or bootloader mode so i can get rid off all the crap. I am unlocked and rooted S-on

You should be able to just remove some of the "bloat" .apk files through adb or a file manager application. That is all I did on my old Incredible.

You are correct just wait, the phone just came out and I'm still waiting on the UPS man lol
only way i found to remove bloat was to make a flashable zip removing all the apks/odex files i wanted.
Bloatware Remover(flashable zip)--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012388
Your best bet would be to use an app like titanium backup and freeze the bloat while on stock. Why I'm suggesting this is because when you delete the Apks and an update from verizon comes out you can run into problems. That way down the line if you do want to update without flashing a rom you can just unfreeze and not have to worry about finding the bloat and reinstalling for the update.

If you do want to go through and remove the bloatware... What I did, was:
downloaded the flashable ZIP fromt he above thread
opened it with 7-Zip
found and extracted the file META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
opened that file with notepad++ and went through and added all the .apk and .odex files I want gone (personal preference)
placed the file back in the ZIP
flashed the ZIP
bloat removed
Ok I'm not talking about htc built in apps. But this useless bull**** apps that just sitting on my app drawer with no ****ing reason:
7digital
Ais
Axis net
Broadband
Dtac
I store
I muzik 3g
Mobiletv
Mobile tv
Mobi tv
Mworld
My HTC
Myhtcs
Ringtunes
Telkomsel
Truemoveh
Viettel
XL
I have successfuly uninstalled them all using link2sd (need root).
I try to uninstalled 7digital then my phone restarts by itself, I'm scared a bit, then after my phone booted all that **** apps I just uninstalled came back. Wtf???
Any solutions?

You can only remove them in recovery via adb shell rm /system/app/*.apk
And if you're on stock ROM, also remove it's odex adb shell rm /system/app/*.odex
Or you can use the script made by Maarten here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36278172&postcount=30
extract the updater-script, edit the filename for the apk that you need to remove and put in back in the zip, and flash that in recovery.
Tried root uninstaller but no luck either. It came back after reboot :/

No app can uninstall app on DX except the way I described above.
There is some sort of protection HTC imposed on DX that you cannot use an app like TB, Root Uninstaller & etc; they won't work.
Note: before you remove anything, make sure you make a nandroid of your stock ROM before that as once an OTA is out, you need a clean stock ROM to update successfully.

But my rom are now rooted its too late to make a nand backup now..
Anyway, nand backup is on cwm recovery right?

If you never remove anything from the system partition, it is never too late.
(I believe you not yet able to remove anything )
And yes, make a nandroid backup with CWM.

What I meant is its too late for me to backup a clean stock unrooted rom.
Sorry can't edit my post above since I'm new user although I'm not new to xda I'd just created a new account.
Anyway I wish there was a simple way to remove the odex on the bloatware I want to uninstalled. On link2sd, the app mentioned above are marked with ODEX (green).
Guess you were right, can't move an an app with an odex on it though I don't know what odex is.
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda app-developers app
I understood that. What I meant is it is ok to make backup with a rooted stock ROM.
To update an OTA, you don't need to remove your root app or any installed app as long as all system files are intact. You don't even need to relock your bootloader. What you need is a stock recovery.
You can read more on this topic on the link in my sig. Even though that is for One V, it works the same principal for DX.
You can remove system apps from recovery using app called Aroma File Manager, made by Amarullz, you have the link in my Index.

Totally forgot about this nice recovery explorer/file manager
As I always use a PC base explorer/file manager to add/remove files to/from system partition.

ckpv5 is right. You can not delete files simply from Data or System folders.
You have to do that in recovery mode. If you try to delete files from any File explorer, your phone will simply restart.
Though we have rooted our phone, however it is not 100% rooted. HTC made S-ON on all of those device so that people can not do any changes on systems.
Play with your phone with complete nand backup.

Actually we do have 100% root, S-Off differs a lot from root. And there are multiple ways of deleting the apps. You can make a flashable zip file yourself if you know how to, you can use aroma file manager (mount system before using it), adb, or any other recovery file manager, if it exists
Sent from my awesome fridge
Probably someone should make a tutorial how to delete system apps here using aroma file manager?
Would be really useful.

Yup understand. I am sorry I wanted to say he can not do it thru any file browser when the phone is running. It will simply reboot.
Need to try Aroma File manager. Deleting with flashable.zip is really a pain not so simple.

+1 for that.

I have made a new idea on removing bloatwares. The idea is that the user can select the apps that are to be deleted in aroma. I have already made a project regarding this but only for my device. You can port it to your device and maybe share this with everyone.

Yeah! One moderator told me! I won't do like that from now onwards!
I have the t-mobile 626s variant. Ive rooted and still have a bunch of process and apps I dont want. I dont have a computer at the moment becuase its being fixed. Is there a list of apps safe to remove? Thank You
You have to install an insecure kernel. You can find a lot of custom kernel in these forum, choose one of them
I want to remove all the bloatware from my HTC DX (rooted and TWRP installed). I used Titanium Backup but as S-ON is there you get the same stuff back after rebooting, I read here somewhere that you can remove those bloatware from Recovery.
Now I am in the TWRP menu, I mounted all the partitions, Went to the Apps folder and found all the bloatwares I need to remove. Since it is odexed, I was wondering if it is safe to remove them?
Do I need to remove the APK as well as .odex file? Will it reappear after reboot?
I have a nandroid backup, Will it be able to restore all the files if I mess up and restore from nandroid? Wondering since S-ON is enabled.
Thanks!

Yes you need to remove both the apk+odex file for it to be permanently removed.
Add: if you only delete the apk file, it will come back after reboot. So make sure to delete both apk and odex file of the app you want to permanently removed
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda app-developers app
By permanently you mean even after reboots right? Also will the nandroid restore bring them back?
Thanks a lot
