Titanium Backup - G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps

How do i get titanim backup to work?
I already have perm root and granted it permissions, but it doesn't load any of the apps on the phone. I was gonna use it toget rid of the bloadtware on my bell desire z.
I just switched from a galaxy s so i'm still learning the ropes of htc's implementation.

Ok, nevermind. Such a noob. I just updated busybox and it's working now.

U remove the apps? Did it stay after reboot?

nope, they are long gone. i used titanium to remove bloatware from my sgs before i switched to the desire. it's also really useful when flashing a full firmware coz you can back up and restore apps + app data in batches.

YOu just backed up the apps you wanted right? And cliicked the app u dont want and removed?

Titanium was fixed the other week to allow removal of system apps on the Desire Z and HD (before we had S-Off).

@jark99: yup. Just be sure to know exactly what you want to remove, and be careful not to remove important sys apps. One rule: if you're not sure the app should be removed or not, don't remove it.

thanks going to try that now.

I'm having this problem now, how do I work around this?

if you already have root, download the latest busybox from the market. that's what fixed it for me.

Does Anybody Know A way that i can uninstall this app for good?
all it does is kill my battery
thank you
depends
It depends on the phone because if it is android it is most likely that wifi calling is built in.

If you're rooted u should have no problem uninstalling it with a root app like Titanium Backup. I regularly use it to remove stock apps.

Fc problems
For those of you having FC (Forced Closing) problems after uninstalling Wifi Calling, it's scary but after rebooting everything will be running sweet again and no more extra battery consumption
Remove WIFI Calling from G2
Simple,
open adb
use following commands,
adb shell
# ls /system/app/
you will get a list ap apps installed, find this one ( MS-HTCEMR-KNT20-02-A0-GB-02.apk) if you find it, then type following command.
#rm -f /system/app/MS-HTCEMR-KNT20-02-A0-GB-02.apk
rm -f /system/app/MS-HTCEMR-KNT20-02-A0-GB-02.apk
its gone
To fully remove wifi calling, you also need to remove the ril switcher and make it point exclusively to the htc ril.
Find the ril path section in your build.prop file and change it to read:
# RIL path
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhtc_ril.so
[disclaimer: always do a nandroid backup before making changes to this file. That easy you can always get back where you started.]

Question about App syncs

With HTC sense roms, when u sign into Google, it automatically downloads all ur apps from last time my device synced.
When I log into cm7 or miui, it doesn't automatically download any apps.
Is there something that HTC sense rom have that makes the apps download automatically?? If so, is it possible to have that implentes into cm7 or miui?, possibly on ICS as well?

I'm not 100 on this but I do believe the reason for this awesome feature is 'HTC setup wizard'.
And if it is, I'm guessing just like everything else Sense, it wont be able to be ported/used since the framework is different.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I've flashed 4 different ice roms and only one of them has restored my apparently and also pretty sure its due to that one being the only one with a setup wizard. Wasn't a HTC one though so it is possible if incorporated in the rom

i wish this feature can be implemented into other roms. that is one part about why I dislike AOSP roms. I hate freshly reinstalling all my 50+ apps.

Well Titatium backup has the feature where you can really install all your apps with no prompts.
Its what I always use anyways. I feel the market way is too slow.

[Q] Most effective way of restoring backup

I'm sure everyone's went through switching ROMs before. I want to know the most efficient way of restoring everything on switching, whilst still keeping data and small info like data usage. Titanium Backup is annoying without the pro version. Any alternative methods. I'm all ears .
Thanks
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
Just buy the pro version. It pays for itself.
Sent from Spaceball One.
Okay, but is it easy switching between AOSP and Sense for example. I've always had problems with that.
Secondly I hate when I restore backup that I have to press 'okay' to install every app. Is that problem sorted?

Just buy titanium backup pro, it allows batch jobs

Buy pro you don't need to hit ok or install for every app. Just once and done. Takes about 10-20 minutes to go from one ROM to another with my apps. Maybe little longer with tweaking the ROM to my needs.
Nice I'll be getting it

AndSync
There was a nice article called Synchronize Backup and Restore Android Devices with AndSync on XDA portal few days ago. Maybe you can try it.
Or you can try Rom toolbox pro it does even more...PM.me for an offer:thumbup:

Delete BlinkFeed

Hi,
Im using the HTC m8 for a week now, and to be honest i dont like BlinkFeed.
Is there a way to delete it?
Im still stock, no root or s-off.
Thanks

Yeah, you can remove it just like any other home screen. In arrange screens.

Yes ive already did that, but when i looked through my battery usage, it use for about 45% even when i removed it.
So can i delete completely from my m8

No, because as far as I know, it's part of the launcher (although it can be updated through the play store). Ensure its not subscribed to anything and that it it's set to sync as little as possible.
turned off all of your auto update.
Ok, thanks for the quick reply's

That does not delete it. If you want to really delete it too probably need root and system access. And have knowledge about adapting apk files. Maybe it's possible to remove some code from the prism.apk to actually true disable it. But that's kinda difficult i guess.

OK Google doesn't work - how?

How did you folks manage the OK Google from any screen?
I'm on O2 UK, totally stock but running Themer. I enable Google Now and the 'any screen' button is grayed out. I enable US English but still, it won't work and won't register OK Google even 1/3 times, where it needs to be trained. Even with the Google Now launcher, it's the same.
Thanks!

If you are rooted you can enable it to work on Sense6 using exposed framework an the "Ok Google for 3rd party launchers / apps (4.4+)" module.
If this is installed you can enable the function in Google searches settings by going to Google settings > Voice.
If this method doesn't work you could try to use UnleashtheGoogle.apk (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/themes-apps/unleash-google-hotword-detection-t2803261). This is what I'm actually using on my M8 and works just flawlessly. I set it up after a downgrade to Google search 3.5.14 cause google removed the descriptions from the debug flag menu you otain by running UnleashtheGoogle (and believe ma you need those descriptions).

Can't root 'cus I can't afford to lose all the setup, settings, apps and data. They need to be restorable.

What about trying to S-Off with say SunShine. It will unlock bootloader and S-Off without data loss and you could go right away into installation of a custom recovery and rooting your device. The side effect is that you have to pay 25$ for the use of SunShine.

Unlocking bootloader is where you usually have a complete wipe... SunShine method doesn't wipe??

No SunShine does it without wiping. That's what I personally liked about it.
You get unlock without HTC knowing an without wipe and achieve S-Off.
Okay, trying it now then.

1st: Google has to learn your pronouncing. Did you set en-Us as primary speech and you mother language as second?
2nd don't know. Maybe they have a zip to flash and remove it as well.
3rd hmmm good one too. Doesn't it if you put it onto the extSD?

Ok and 3rd: not enough space to copy it onto internal I guess!?
For 2nd there is an answer found in the project era thread. It says no uninstall instructions, but the OP explicitly tells to run a backup prior to installing the mode for the case you want to remove it later on.

Yea, but it means I gotta go back like a month, lol. I've lost phone speaker sound cus of it hence.
I guess I'm gonna leave it until I have spare time to see all the files it's flashing, and then try to flash my old backed up files. Gah
