Hi.
I usually clean the crap via titanium.
I am running Bionix-V 2.2
is there a guide or a way to know what's save to remove in order to improve overall speed, memory and so on?
there are stuff like:
WlanTest
wipecounterevciever
vpn services
TTS service
SNS
SimDetachNotifier
SIM Toolkit
shutdown app
setupup wizard
service mode 2.2.
self test mode
roseEUKor
preconfig
pico TTS
phonUtil
PhoneSetupWizard
Person
Pckage Installer
OPP
Network Location
my uploads
MTO application
Mobile Tracking Settings
Mobile Tracker
Media hub
Media Container
Marjet updater

LBSTestMode
HTML Viewer
Google services frameworks
google partner setup
factory test

CSC
CoolEUKor
contacts sync afdapter
com.(lot's of these)............................
ChocoEUKor
certificate installer
camera firmware
brcmBluethoosertvice
badge provider
appwidgetpicker
so much stuff that usually isn't there with custom clean roms
Anyone? Is there no guide? Link?
I am sure much of these are crap, and removing them can be great. But which?
First of all, most of those are /system apps, so I would not delete any of them until you first "freeze" them with TBpro and see if there are any adverse effects from doing so. much easier to defrost that to push back to /system/app and set permissions. If nothing happens, then you can delete.
I usually delete the picoTTS and keep the appwidgetpicker (this is when you longpress on home and your widgets pull up, it show Beautiful Widgets (19) rather than 19individual widgets.
Here (see below but the thread is a good read too) and here and here is a list of bloatware for your viewing pleasure (simple Google search pulled all these up btw). Almost anything with com...and is red in TB, you should leave it alone.
First off all the Standard Apps:
AccountAndSync.apk/odex -> The app in the drawer, not the settings.
AddToHome.apk/odex
AudioPostcard.apk/odex
Avatar.apk/odex -> The app that launches Avatar in the video player.
BuddiesNow.apk/odex
Dlna.apk/odex [Allshare]
FlashPlugin.apk/odex
GoGo.apk/odex
Infoalarm.apk/odex [Daily Briefing]
KindleStub.apk/odex
Layer-samsung.apk/odex
MediaHub.apk/odex
Memo.apk/odex
Mini Diary.apk/odex
MobiTV.apk/odex
MyAccountStub_4-5-10.apk/odex
Myfiles.apk/odex
Sims3_Samsung_Embed_Launcher.apk/odex
slackerradio.apk/odex
Swype-Tips.apk/odex
Telenav.apk/odex
thinkdroid.apk/odex [ThinkFree Office]
vvm-signed.apk/odex -> T-Mobile Visual Voicemail [can be re-downloaded from the market. for some reason that version is the preferred one.]
VoiceRecorder.apk/odex
VoceDialer.apk/odex
Writeandgo.apk/odex
TouchwizWidgets:
Day.apk/odex
DualClock.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_Calenderclock.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_Feedandupdate.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_stockclock.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_Weatherclock.apk/odex

I like changing the DPI of my Galaxy Nexus to 240dpi
Unfortunately, this makes some apps run in tablet mode (Plume Pro and Tweetcaster Pro)
Changing to 241dpi fixes this
However, this ruins my market - I can no longer get updates for many of my apps ("This app is not compatible with your device")
There is an option with LCD Density Modder Pro to use a 'modded market' - this seems to solve my problem, however... is using this modded market safe? Because surely it's some sort of hack and so I shouldn't keep my card details within it (to purchase apps?)
Thanks
Bump...
surely someone must know the answer..
I can't vouch for the app as I don't know what it does, but I can tell you that your card details aren't stored in the app settings, or anywhere on your device. They're linked to your Google account and stored online.
Thanks I think I'll use it

Hi All,
Like others, I'm experiencing a problem with SwiftKey - the stock keyboard always shows up as the default after every boot, even though SwiftKey is enabled in settings. I read somewhere that a workaround is to freeze the stock keyboard using Titanium, and convert the SwiftKey app to a systems app. So my question is, how do I do that?
(One X, ARHD 31.3)
I know I can long-click on the correct entry in Titanium's App list to freeze an app, but specifically, what app name do I need to look for (is it Keyboard_english.apk?)
And how do I convert SwiftKey to a system app? I'm not even sure what this means. Do I just have to ensure it's located on internal storage (not SD card)?
Some help is obviously needed! Thanks for yours in advance.
You can try disabling the stock keyboard in Settings>Apps. You can also try using ROM Toolbox to search for app (in my experience it's easier). And converting an app to a system app simply means moving the app from data>app to system>app.
I was just wondering if installing settings from another 4.2.2 device would work at all. As a suspected it was possible. You can edit account settings, Wi-Fi settings, uninstall or see running apps, etc. Not everything works but most missing things from Amazon settings are working.
I tried with this one: sourceforge.net/p/sreborn/code-0/53/tree/system/app/Settings.apk
Just install like any normal app and add shortcut to desktop for easier access.
Hope it helps someone.
Edit: I just realized it works like overwriting Amazon settings. When installed breaks shortcuts bar functionality, but when Kindle is restarted it gets automatically removed and Amazon settings are restored. Still can be a nice workaround for editing settings, dive you can install, add, edit or remove accounts, and restart to have everything working like normal.

Although it still can access language & Keyboard, it do add some new functions that the amazon Settings wont be able to fulfill.
Can anyone make it to co-exist with the amazon setttings? I know it's possible for Fire TV.

Hi people!
I recently rooted my grand prime and i want to share the modifications and tweaks that you can apply to your phone.
Mine is the G530FZ, but these can be applied to any grand prime, since this settings are generic even to other phones.
I am very interested in improve the privacy and the functionality of my phone, and some settings don't need root, but im going to share with you anyway since improves your privacy.
HOPE YOU LIKE IT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enable Dev Options:
Go to About this device, Compilation number and press it repeatedly until it says "Now you are a developer!"
Go back, developer options and tick USB Debugging to enable ADB over USB
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed Busybox, using Smart Install (Safest), this is important for most of tweaks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I disabled KNOX, SAMSUNG SUPPORT TOOL and bloats like:
-Play Music
-Play Kiosk
-Play Videos
-Drive
-Samsung Billing
-Play Games
-Galaxy Apps
-Google+
-Samsung Account
-Chrome
And some replaced by:
-Apollo
-FBReader
-MXPlayer
-
-
-
-FDroid (Open Source App Market, your privacy want Open Source!)
-
-
-Firefox
To disable knox and support tool connect your phone through adb or use the terminal emulator and type:
su
pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
pm disable com.rsupport.rs.activity.rsupport.aas2
The other apps can be disabled through settings/Application Manager.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed Xposed Framework, and then this plugins:
-The POWERFUL GravityBox [KK] (Interface and usability tweaks)
-XPrivacy (A privacy manager that lets you choose what information can be read by an application, asking you when the application tries to read something like contacts, use superuser, read messages and so on.)
-XPrivacy in App Info (Injects the XPrivacy settings in app info for the selected app)
-XHalo Floating Windows (Something like a window manager, lets you use apps in the way of windows or anything like that)
-Call Blacklist Pro (The name says all)
-App settings (To fix issues with the dpi change, I will explain it later)
-Xposed Preference Injector (To inject xposed plugins settings on the settings app)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To control what applications connect though WIFI and what though 3G I used AFWall+, and configured it like that:
Mode: Black list (Block Selected) --> This can be done pressing the message that says: Mode: White list (Allow Selected)
On Options/Preferences/UI Preferences I unchecked LAN Control.
Then you can check the apps you want on WIFI, on 3G, on none of that, or unchecked for WIFI and 3G
The first time you need to go to Options/Enable Firewall, and every time you modify the settings press Options/Apply.
Is useful if you have a Bank application and you are afraid about ARP Poisoning on WIFI (Man in the middle) or things like that and you often connect to public WIFI's. You can block WIFI for this app, and let only connect trough 3G.
Or you can block data hungry apps to work only on wifi and mantain your 3G data usage on acceptable limits.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed
-Performance Control (The performance app on AOKP I think o.o')
With this app i changed the DPI using the build.prop editor on the last tab, and changed ro.sf.lcd_density to 190
Then you need to use Xposed App Settings plugin to set the DPI's of this apps to 240, because are made to this DPI's and looks ugly, and some even not work:
-Camera
-Contacts
If you have any other app looking ugly after DPI change, use this fix, and tell us here
Also the pin numbers on lockscreen will move to the left, but it works, and if you change the DPI's of com.android.systemui the status bar and the notification bar will look fat... (o-__-O)
Don't change cpu settings, i did that and look that does nothing... XD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I am afraid about predictive keyboards and where they send what they predict, so I installed the only Open Source keyboard I found really useful:
-AnySoftKeyboard
It can be installed from FDroid or Google Play, I think that the google play edition updates often
Play a little bit with the settings to get your keyboard of choice, it can be tricky at first.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are really conscious about your privacy, you can search for the dev reports that apps send to the developers without your consent and disable it, if you don't care about that, this reports can be useful to some devs
And last, and the most conspiranoic app here:
-Android IMSI catcher
This app theorically warns you about IMSI stations near you. This stations are fake GSM antennaes with encryption disabled to hear what you hear and read what you send, explaining it quickly.
I don't know if this app really works, but if it works, and you have spyes around you, tell me if it works ;D
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry if i wrote something wrong, I'm don't speak english on my country, I only know the english I learned from series, games and documentation
If you need some screenshots for any explained here, tell me
Cheers!

After rooting your G530 is booting normally?
To remove system apps Nobloat app is a option for users not familiarized with adb prompt & comand lines.
Nope, i need to install phillz recovery to avoid recovery on reset, besides that is working fine

Try Wipe Cache from recovery..if does not works, download stock rom matching ur phon csc and rom version from sammobile .. then flash it through odin, then re root... make sure this time u flash those two files with method exactly as suggested in the root post.if u get boot into recovery prob again then make sure wipe cache n then reboot.

@kentone, which method of rooting did you use?
Is it then KingUser or SuperSU?
Maybe you could throw a link to rooting manual?
one thing I'm happy about is using Greenify and Clean master to hibernate and block apps from autostarting, it leaves me with 320-380 mb free RAM most of the time, however if u add whatsapp and chat apps, you wont get notifications till you open the application which I personally prefer it to be like this.
I rooted with odin method, i have the reboot to recovery bug, but is not a problem for me, this is my 'production' phone and i will not touch it so much until we have cyanogenmod or something. Or when we know why the reboot to recovery bug appears o.o'
Sent from my SM-G530FZ using XDA Free mobile app
About greenify and clean master, throw clean master away and dont hibernate the apps with notifications like IM apps XD if you want more ram download kernel adiutor and put the memory preset on ''agressive'' or one level down that! Dont touch the cpu settings, it does nothing with this samsung rom u.u'

@kentone what if I dont disable the knox ? or what if it tripped ? what are the side effects ? and what is the purpose of knox? sorry I dont know that , and thanks in advance for your answer , I hope you will answer my question
In gravity box, cant able to change signal cluster look. Cant add day of week to status bar tweaks. Help me please. I have selected lollipop icons but they are not changing. I also tried reboot.
Amazing things you can do after rooting
Yeah but there are lot more benefits of rooting even though there are certain risks , . Most amazing benefit I think is we can remove bloatware and also block ads which is brainstorming though there are still deelopments going on in that field. Have you tried adblocker Browser??
