Rooting and apps coming from EVO - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well so I finally root my thunderbolt , today I had enough time after work, anyways , I have the original Rom the I have to download to root and it has all those Verizon apps and other crappy like rock band and what not, in Sprint you could practically take everything out, is it the same for Verizon ? Or are there any apps that I can't uninstall everything form Sprint or are there any apps like backup assistant that I can't ? Thanks for the help , and what roms you guys recommend ? I was using synergy Rom rc1 on EVO but it looks like the only got nightlies on thunderbolt , anything else that includes HTC hub and such ? Thanks for the help again

You can remove most of what you want, just make a back up and use common sense. As far as ROMs there're plenty of good ones, I personally like team BAMF's work.

Do you still want sense?

Here is a list of the roms. I am running Das-Bamf's Gingrebread de-sensed, stripped down version. I like it, but if you go Gingerbread, you will have to download and flash the new radio. I would suggest trying a few of the fryo Roms first, and go form there. here is a link to a thread with a list of roms.

I wouldn't remove anything, just freeze (with Titanium Backup Pro) or rename (if you don't have the Pro version).

You're pretty safe removing apps unless they have "HTC" or "Google" in the name.

Renaming them should remove them from your app drawer. Root Explorer or another app like it should make this very easy.

Why do so many people hate Rom manager? I love it and am just used to it since my cappy. I knkw it doesnt do everything with our SGS2 as it does for my cappy like reboot to recovery for nandroid backups correctly (except for using it for that purpose for cm7 works perfectly). But i like to use it for renaming nandroids and such. Easy to use and has never failed me. Wish it could be updated to fully work correctly at some point. Would be nice to get all our roms available on it/through it. Well to each his/her own i guess. I still use it to download gapps and such as well for cm7.

Lol.. seems like a lot of ppl really hate ROM Manager.
I either use ES File Explorer, or just connect to the pc and do my cleanup as necessary. I also rename the folders, so it's easier to identify which is what. Just remember if you do decide to rename your folders, no spaces , else you'll get md5 issues and wouldn't be able to restore from the backup you made.
A more interesting question is why a thread like this even needs to exist. I wondered the same thing the op did. Then I used root explorer to search and found the folder on my own. Search being the key word.

[Q] Restore selected apps with Titanium?

Ok, before I get flamed, I know there's a batch option in TB to restore all apps you have a backup of in one shot. However, I have backups of a bunch of apps I don't necessarily want installed right now, but I don't want deleted completely either. I'm running Newt's OneXXX RLS 1, and he just updated it to 2.1. I just got all my apps that I want installed on this, and don't feel like doing them one-by-one again if I update. My question is this: Is there a way to make a zip or something of just the apps I currently have installed on this ROM, and then to run it on the install of 2.1 so that only those apps will be installed? BTW, yes, I'm using Pro.
I just deselect the ones I don't want installed in batch.

[App] Face Unlock for TW 4.0.4

As we all notice with the new exciting 4.0.4 release for the SGT-10.1, Face unlock is not available for unlocking the tab!
I have taken the liberty to modify the ICS-04292012-gapps to include Facelock.apk without all the rest of the gapps. So BIG THANKS to the CM team for the zip and the components outside of the facelock.apk. The facelock.apk came from my SGS3 and works perfect on my tab.
Instructions:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT OCCUR FROM FLASHING THIS! BY DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING, YOU THE USER ABSOLVE ME FROM ANY DAMAGES THAT MIGHT INCUR FROM YOU INSTALLING!!
1: MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
2: DID YOU MAKE A BACKUP?
3: ARE YOU SURE YOU MADE A BACKUP!
4: Download the zip http://www.mediafire.com/?pps4d43jmpoyjc4
5: Flash with CWM
6: Reboot
7: Check settings>security>screen lock
This has been tested only on the P7510. Once more people download and report back, I can say if it works with other variants of the 10.1 series.
Confirm working by RavenY2K3 that it works on P7500. He had to clear extra space on the /system partition to have it running.
Man, thanx for it!

What's needed is to get someone with a 7500 who flashed with PC Odin to see if they have had the same issue I just had, I did it with the mobile version and those people who did the same have found that the hidden.img didn't flash, so some apps weren't available after flashing.

If you are rooted, use a program like Titanium Backup in the market to remove any useless apps, need to clear at least 25 MB.

Widgets are stored in the apk they are for.
So unless you downloaded just a widget (which is still an apk) they are embedded in an app.
A lot of manufacturer launchers include their own which can't be used on another launcher or ROM.
So you probably want one in the LGhome app.
If not, check which apps you no longer have.
FYI: Included stock widgets are found in /system/app/. You can download a rom to your computer, extract the widgets you want, put them on your sd card, then copy them to your current rom (putting them in /system/app/), set permissions, and finally reboot.

What I thought was funny was that I loaded Nova Launcher on my phone. Then all of a sudden I had 4 apps that weren't there in the Sense launcher. Now I have "Car", "Flash Player Settings", "PDF Viewer", and "Polaris Office". So, you don't have to be rooted. The apps all work. But for some reason, Sense for AT&T is hiding the apps. Use another launcher. It'll be there.

Yes, you can even just download one of those widgets that just launches apps (I use Circle Launcher or More Icons Widget) and it shows up in their list.
It's there. Install quick shortcutmaker and create a shortcut to it
Can someone just upload the apk from the international version?
It's on the phone already. You would just need to "unhide" it by using another launcher or one of the apps previously mentioned.

This breaks after reboot. Then tried uninstalling updates from app manager... and it completely uninstalled it... without root access.
Doesnt make sense. Possibly do this for all bloat to get rid of it without root...

I loaded ARHD several times and could not get the camera to work, it just hangs when launched. Were you able to get around that? I figured this was AT&T specific.
Download the newest 6.0
There was an issue before with the build that caused camera and WiFi issues.
Should be fixed now tho.
