Does anyone have a copy of those system apps that get deleted when unlocking the phone bootloader? I accidentally deleted them with the app removal wizard in the storage settings, and i don't wanna screw up the ability to install updates when they arrive. :'( would a factory reset fix this? I am not rooted or bootloader unlocked, I just removed the apps by mistake. Can't believe I made such a noob move after being here so long, lol. Can anyone help?

did you disable them or uninstall them. You have to be unlocked / rooted to uninstall them. It sounds like you just disabled them. If this is the case, go to the bottom of the all app list and you will see disabled apps. A factory reset will fix it as well.

That's actually not true. I was able to uninstall calculator, pdf viewer, tunein radio and soundhound without being rooted, and could have uninstalled ringtone trimmer and flashlight too, but i actually use them and didn't want to.

Try downloading one of the Stock base roms in the HTC One sub forum maybe the apk's will be there then.

No you aren't flashing a rom you are just taking the APK's for the apps you said you uninstalled and installing them again. You said you uninstalled some apps that you want back right? so getting those apps from the Stock base Rom you will be able to reinstall them.

I know HOW to remove the bloatware from Android phones using Titanium Backup Pro, but I'm curious to know what bloatware is SAFE to remove without causing any major problems with the OS. Thoughts, ideas and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

I took off faves, modes as well. Also amazon, setup, all themes, swype if you don't use it. I think that was about it. Make sure you do a good nandroid backup before you do it, so you can restore all of it if you need to take it back in for some reason.

Did you delete ALL your themes or did you just delete the ones you weren't using? Also deleting modes and faves didn't conflict with anything? I was kinda on the fence on these apps
Nope I used titanium backup to uninstall the stuff, I also did take off amazon as well

With Titanium backup, you don't have to uninstall, if you want to keep them in case you need them later. You can simply 'freeze' the apps. This way, you keep them, they just go out of system memory and the icons will not show up either on your Launcher.

You cannot delete system apps via Titanium Backup. You can only backup the data. You will need Root Explorer or something equivalent to delete the system app. Make sure you make a backup first though.

Ti Backup cannot backup system apps - only their data. It can, however, remove them with the 'force remove' function.
But, a major +1 for freezing them instead. It might just save your ass, and it serves the same function as deleting the app anyway.
Can someone please share the htc lockscreen app from the app folder I mistakenly deleted it and the oden file

I wouldn't remove friend stream if you plan on using facebook. What happened, was the phone was constantly looking for friendstream to "sync" but since the app was gone, it never reported back as completing syncing...so i'd always have the circle with arrows "sync" in my task bar. got so annoying.
had no problem when I froze friend stream and still use FB.
Anyone know what the my device, my account and search people is listed under in titanium?
I can't seem to find them.
Also any one have a complete list of what can you can freeze or uninstall?
So far I only freeze but here is what I have:
AppPack Asphalt com.tmobile.theme x6 demo videos Faves x2 flickr Friend Stream x2 Gallery I use 3d HTC Weather locationPicker x2 Mail x2 Email account messager x2 my Downloads Provider (No clue what it does) my modes news x2 peep quickoffice ringtone trimmer rockband screen share setup stocks x2 t-mo tv themes provider (no clue what it does) TTS Service Twitter Visual Voice Mail Voicemail Weather x2 Weather Agent and provider

I have Watchdog Lite app, and it tells me that com.htc.ereader.drmengine is working above threshold all the time.
How do I get rid of it completely?
I'm sure it is causing my battery drain.
Are you rooted?
If so get titanium backup and uninstall the reader app.
EDIT......
Or better yet, if youre rooted get a different ROM.

Reboot and it should disappear.

So I've removed the app but run into problems opening youtube links in 3 apps. They are stock browser stock messaging and Google Talk. Google Talk crashes after removing htclinkifydispatcher stock messaging just won't open links period. Anyone know which rom to copy these apps from or a way to modify these apps so we can get the normal android "how to process these links" action?

Be sure to go into manage apps, select browser, and hit clear defaults. Then, for good measure I restarted my phone. After that, you will get the option to select what program opens the links from then on.

Breaks Phone Numbers
This appears to break the ability to click phone numbers in e-mails. No apps open when clicked a phone number. I also don't see Dialer or Phone having an option to clear defaults.
Argh, this is annoying. HTC should really make sure the stock linkifier app is really detailed with its options and settings. It sounds like netierh the stock app nor root and removing it provides a good experience for linking. The only option is to load a custom ROM?
It seems like you'd have to replace any app that HTC modified to depend on htclinkifydispatcher.

Can't we just get the international version of htclinkifydispatcher.apk??
Would an older, working HtcLinkifyDispatcher.apk from Sense 3.0 be compatible?
Nevermind, that apk doesn't even exist below sense 3.6

Because Friendstream is still installed as a system app, which can't be overwritten without root. It's just hidden from view in the default.xml file.

Probably because Friend Stream already exists on the phone (it's in the "All" list) and you cannot overwrite it with another app without root privileges. The flashlight did not already exist, so it could be installed without any problem.

Wild Tangent game spyware refuses to be uninstalled. Using Rom Toolbox, when I try to uninstall it, launches and updates. I've tried multiple times and with other apps. I've killed the app, frozen the app and then tried. It always relaunches. I hate that developer and their crap. Any ideas?

If you're rooted, just disable it using pm
First, find out the com name of the app. This will list all packages installed
Code:
pm list packages -f
Then disable it
Code:
pm disable com.name.of.app
I used Solid Explorer and just deleted it then rebooted. It doesn't load if it isn't there. I forget the path. I think it was system root\vendor\app or it could have been system root\system\app. It's gone so I can't tell for sure where it was but someone can verify the path.

WildTangent is a tenacious bastard
Wow. I've tried everything above with no joy. In my latest efforts, I:
1. Turned off auto update in Play
2. Used Root explorer to delete all associated files I could find found in
a. emulated/0/JuMobile/recyclebin (from System App Uninstaller)
b. system/priv-apps
c. storage/emulated/wildtangent
3. Removed with System App Uninstaller (1st try), App Quarantine (2nd try), Titanium Backup (3rd try).
4. Restart
Each time it didn't go through the restoration process immediately after uninstall, like it would without deleting the files, and the uninstallers indicated success. Unfortunately, after restarting, WildTangent was still there. I really hate to go much farther from stock than I already am because I've had difficulties arise in the past with "stock" ROMs on my S4, but it looks like the next stop is a pre-cleaned stock ROM unless someone has a better idea.
