I have only had 2.2 about a week and I'm not liking all the apps like Skype Amazon MP3 and about 15 other things that always seem to be running everytime I use advanced task killer. If this is all the stuff they are forcing at me and eating up the battery I am paying for...I think I will switch to an I-Phone when it gets to Verizon. I know I can root the phone the problem with that is I am not tech saavy enough to know what to do once its rooted. I did the unrevoked thing on 2.1 and got awesome battery life and was so proud of myself for getting in but then could not get my phone to upgrade to 2.2. Luckily Verizon took it back and sent me one with 2.2 but now I hate all the crap advertising and apps that I don't want and I'm scared to root. Any suggestions?
From what I've heard its not difficult to get root on 2.2 (I wouldn't know since I was rooted before and had s-off).
What I did about the apps was get the full version of titanium backup and just froze all the apps that I didn't want running. That way the os couldn't start them back up randomly and I can thaw them out and have the programs back for warranty reasons. Theres also an app on the market called autostarts (which also requires root) which lets you disable apps from starting at boot up

If you freeze them with titanium, do they stay frozen when you boot up again?
Yes, they stay frozen until you defrost them

Hmm how long has it been since setting it all up. It might just be all of the google stuff syncing... I had the same thing happen to me! Leave it for 20 minutes or something and see if it works any better
same issue here.. I HATE IT
I doubt it is because of root or rom. I had this issue as wel up until yesterday. It was suddenly fixed. I think because I usually install apps using Astro (or any file explorer), because of hard resetting etc. I thought maybe if i install an app directly from the market, it would fix it. I installed 'msn talk', did a reboot and it's fast now.. I don't know if this was what made it work, but it's working great now.
edit: before that I tried to uninstall a market update and reinstall again. But it was still slow after uninstall, reinstall and cleared caches.
I am on a non rooted device btw.
I`ve rooted 4 devices today and all same to have this issue .. ?
Just out of interest were any of you also missing the "top paid" tab as well. It was missing from my market after rooting as well as the slowdown, then it just appeared about a half hour in. Also did any of you have a similarly slow market when you first got the device. I am on T-mobile and for the first couple of days it was lagging in much the same way as it is now. Maybe it is to do with something new devices do, like the Google sync suggested.
I found that it is best to install all apps manually. Backup programs somehow slow everything down for me! Plus I dont know if the updates are pushed to you because the g market doesnt think you have installed them
My market is so slow but I didnt rooted my device
same issue here...

It's the same with mine (not rooted) since about 4 days. Have to keep rebooting even to try and install/uninstall anything.

Hmm..
No problems here at all.
Fast market, top paid apps showing.
Rooted with r3 linux cd method.
did not install a2sd.
so far no hiccups at all.
I'm getting this. Rooted, Apps2SD.
Been on a few different ROM's, now back to the original rooted one.
Not all of my restored apps (using Titanium Backup) were showing when I went to Downloads. What I have just done is got Settings - Applications - Manager Apps and cleared the market cache and all the apps seems to have returned. Still very slow though... but maybe getting quicker. Is it a syncing thing?
Anyone that did have the slow down, is it getting quicker now?
I can confirm, clearing the market cache seems to fix this.

Hello,
Yes before i rooted the Market was a dogs arse, Very slow, then after a day or to, it was as fast as i would expect it to be, then i rooted my device, again it was slow for a few days, but is now back to normal.
I think it just needs time to sort its self out, like a alcholic the morning after!!.
The only thing i have used diffrently since i rooted was the cache cleaner app in the market.
I can confirm, clearing the market cache seems to fix this.

Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
It's not instant, but I had to do it again yesterday. I cleared cache and installed about 30 apps. By that time the market was back up to speed.
what if you have no cache to clear and the problem still persists
try logging into google talk, that works for me
Ok, so in an effort to not waste anymore time searching and reading and getting a tiny bit confused. To all of my rooted Incredible partners who were using 2.2 Froyo before the root, and stuck with HTC Sense after the root. What apps are perfectly fine to get rid of completely and it wont mess up the DInc at all ?
Why stuck with HTC sense? I don't think i understand your question.
As far as removing apps pretty much anything that is not essential and most of the stuff you won't be able to remove.
I just now rooted my DInc but ive had for a few months so I'm just used to Sense. My question was pretty much me just wondering exactly which apps that came with the phone were ok to uninstall with Titanium Backup, like uninstalling them wouldnt mess up my DInc, like cause it to brick, or something to not work properly.
I don't remember stock lol.

Did you make a NANDROID backup of your phone? If not do so now. You can do it via rom manager or boot into recovery and create a backup file. So in case you have issues you can restore your phone from an image.
Titanium backup won't be able to bring you back from disaster if your phone won't boot.

Use Titanium Backup and start by freezing the apps first before removing them. If freezing doesn't cause issues, then you can, more than likely, remove the app. I prefer to just freeze them, does basically the same thing.
I would simply freeze them, but TB wont let me. It keeps saying that to be able to freeze, I need to be on the donate version of it, which Im only guessing is the paid version.

It is the paid version. It is worth the $ IMO. Safer than deleting something you need.

I agree with trickster. TB is very much worth the money. When I first got it, I had just rooted - deleted an app and restored it with no problem. Then I tried removing a "stock" app. Gone. Can't reinstall... Freezing it is the way to go. Then again, you might want to consider a nandroid backup before doing anything at all.
I have a backup of all of the stock HTC apps somewhere. I had removed one of the stock apps on accident, so I had just used that and restored the apk... worked fine after that.
Bought this for my wife for christmas last year and recently shes been moaning about it for a bit becoming really slow and also that the facebook friendstream app keeps hanging. I'm guessing the friendstream thing is a bug? Its a sim free handset and totally stock. The only way to get it to work is to remove the FB account and re enter details, it'll then work for a few days and then just stop updating and the only way is to remove it again....
Any ideas on that part? Also there is only about 3 or 4 apps and its got 20mb free and the handset keeps complaing about low space, so I'm guessing the only way around that is to root and unlock the handset to install a custom rom that allows data2sd etc?
Not that fussed about the rom but she likes sense widgets so a sense rom is preferable but something that doesnt feel like its going to grind to a halt every minute
Thats providing I can of course unlock the bootloader, something ive not yet tried.
1. Download SOS Backup, backup everything.
2. Factory Reset.
(That will fix the low memory problem, because it will clear all the unnecessary data that apps leave behind after deletion. As well as deleting everything in the internal memory. Don't worry about your music/photos/videos though, they're safe unless you tell it to clear the SD card as well. Which would be a stupid move on your part! )
I can only help with the slowness problem if her phone is rooted. So, is it?
thanks, no its not rooted its 100% stock

Well that may be fixed with a factory reset too.. But in case it isn't, just remove the friend stream and Facebook widget etc.. They're notorious for slow performance. Sorry i can't be of better help than that.. :\
if you root your phone you can install a custom ROM and you can get rid of all these problems but you'll lose your warranty so i think its your choice.

What's happening, guys? I had a question. I disconnected my phone a while back & have no plans to get back on Sprint anytime soon (broke college student!)
Anyway, I use my phone as a media player & for the useful apps. My phone has been freezing way too much lately, to the point where I've had to download task killers to prevent apps from launching. I never had this problem before. I blame it on the few times my phone has been dropped. I've tried the Supercharge script, but the freezing continues. I've also tried fresh installs with no luck. I'm currently on the People's ROM 2.21. I have a feeling that it's due to the fact that I'm on BML instead of my usual MTD, but I'm not sure.
So I was wondering, what "phone apps/processes" can I delete, since my phone is no longer in service?
Just because it's slow and you want to remove cellular services?
From what I understand it's you're having too much apps that runs at background automatically... Try using Autostarts to cut some of them.

Not to be rude, but you should re-read my post.
"my phone has been freezing way too much lately, to the point where I've had to download task killers to prevent apps from launching."
After starting a couple of apps, which I know are background processes, I get on the Autokiller Memory Optimizer app (which by the way, is perfect for seeing all apps that are running, including system) & close them. It sucks to be doing it every 15 mins, though. If I forget, then the phone freezes.
I guess what I am asking for is what apps can I remove, since I don't use the actual phone anymore? (dialer, voice mail, etc.)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Somewhere on here is a list of all the apks on the phone and what they do. A google search should pull it up.
Also, if you haven't done so already, go to the TPR OP and grab the V6 Supercharger script. It works wonders for keep memory free.

Yeah I already got it, it's that your phone lags and freezes so you wanna remove some apps INCLUDING cellular services. Yet I insist your trying Autostarts and airplane mode, this combination, if properly set (in Autostarts you can decide whether an app starts during startup, when you turn on WiFi, when you plug in, etc.), can save you a lot of CPU power and memory while keeping the potentials of the apps (not removing them because somehow you may need them)
As for really removing the apps... There are lists floating around telling which APKs can be safely deleted but they're for CM and are based on the "safety" of not losing phone service... So it's really up to you to take the risk. Nandroid backup before you experiment and everything should be fine

So he can remove them and then reflash a ROM or Odin stock and get all those apks back instead of having to freeze and refreeze apps all the time.

My EVO 4G has been retired for a while now, and during that time I still played around on it with roms as they progressed, but now my wife's phone is broken and we cannot / do not want to upgrade or buy a new phone, so for the next month or two she needs to use my old EVO 4G. Problem is, I can't activate it.
I know I need a Sense ROM to activate, so I have flashed three different ROMs and each has the same problem: just about all apps crash when the ROM boots up. I have done multiple wipes, superwipes, etc, etc. but I think the problem is related having been on Jelly Bean? (CM10)
All I need is to activate the phone, then I can nandroid back to CM10...

Have you tried doing one of the updates through hboot. Captain throwback has a few different ones you could try but make sure you do not flash one that has the hboot in it or you could lose your root access. I have lost my copys or I would give you a link. Maybe the captian himself will chime in here.
How bad are these apps "crashing" at startup? You just need to be able to get to the software updates control panel. You don't need any apps to work besides "settings"

I can't launch the dialer app or any of the google apps, but in one of the ROMS I was able to pull up settings and go in to the software updates control panel; I thought there was a hands free activation section in Sense roms, but I couldn't find anything. Is there another option I am overlooking for activation?
@jlmancuso: I haven't; I'll look into it.
There's been a flurry of people doing what you're trying to do in recent days. We just went over all this in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2148926
Scroll down to post 8 or so for info on hands free activation.
And yes, you'll need to get that sense ROM working well enough to use the dialer app for EPST codes.
