Re-installing sprint apps

Hey,
I rooted my phone to Quantum and I am loving it. Just one problem though, I needed navigation tonight and it epicly failed on me. Epic right? (puns )
In all seriousness I wana reinstall the sprint gps from 2.1.1 because that worked for me and didnt give me false directions or act weird and not give me anything thats turn by turn...
Someone please help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Josh

If you look in The Epic Experience ROM's OP, there should be an add-on where you could flash a .zip of all the Sprint apps.

Im not much of a noob when it comes to technology but that managed to make my head hurt more.
So correct me if Im wrong, I go to Epic Experience ROM's OP (not at all sure that is) and I can get all the sprint apps (which I only want one of o-o)
Im just looking for a gps or nav. The whole reason I got Quantum was to ditch the sprint garbage and get 2.2 but, I need a working nav and sprint has been the only one so far. The navigation on quantum fails because it cant sync or give real time turn by turn directions. So Im looking for the sprint installation of it.
I have no idea where to start (and everything I searched was useless)

You said you're on Quantum ROM in the original post, so I went to the Quantum thread and on the first post is this link: DK28 Sprint Apps
Source: Quantum ROM thread
Since all the Sprint apps are zipped up, you can probably just pick out the Sprint Navigation apk file and install that one by itself.

What he said. Just extract the .zip and look for the Sprint Navigation apk
I believe its called SN28-1100-sprint-signed.apk
Just copy that file and move it to the system/app section using root explorer on your phone.
Edit: just tried it. You dont need to move it. Just install it regulsrly

Since you're installing a lone .apk file from that zip file. You need to enable non-Market application installations. Settings > Applications > Check "Unknown sources"
Then using your phone's file explorer, stock is "My Files", navigate to where you placed the .apk file on your SD card and launch it. It should start the installation process.

[Q] Ok paid a guy to root my phone now what?

I want to delete some of the stock apps but I can't figure out how it keeps telling me that it cannot be deleted .I downloaded titanium backup and tried deleting with that n ended up having to take my battery out of my phone after 5 minutes of an exclamation triangle and android

Well deleting them should have worked. And can you get into recovery?

I would unroot and figure out how to root and everything involved with rooting. Then, I would flash a ROM that has the sprint bloat out of it.
Also, there is a list of "safe to remove" apps out on this site somewhere. You may want to find it and keep a hold of it.
With Titanium, just freeze the app, you don't have to uninstall it
then drink

Havent tried to get to recovery. I was told I could delete them with titanium backup??

You can delete them with Titanium. Go into menu > preferences and enable Chuck Norris mode. That should do it for ya.

Why would u pay someone to root ur phone bro. Its so easy. That Guy ripped u off and u should get ur money back. Plus sounds like he did it wrong.

I just wasn't comfortable doing it myself, I paid $20.00 and that's not even a month of free wireless teather so that's ok. I just want to delete NASCAR and Facebook and a few others.

If I where u I would just install another sense rom cause that have more features and faster

Did you try my suggestion?

First id check and make sure your phone is actually rooted.
Secondly I'd consider a sense Rom like mikfroyo or myns. My setup is in my sig. Mikfroyo has the bloat removed but also includes the apks if u want any of it back.
Last bit of advise...read about rooting, flashing, roms, kernels, etc. All the info is here. If your tech savy at all ill be doing it all urself with ease. If your not tech savy then either don't root or pay someone who knows how to do it right

Yeah if you had to pay someone else to root your phone its probably not a good idea to go messing around with stuff.

if you do indeed have root, just download system app remover from the market. Be careful of removing apps that seem like they wouldn't be needed, you could mess your stuff up.

OP, sounds like you got ripped off, and paid someone $20 to do jack squat to your phone.

Download root checker from the market, it'll verify that you're rooted and have busybox installed. If you don't have busybox, I'm pretty sure you can get it through titanium backup or through the busybox app in the market. If you download busybox from the market, you still need to launch it - it's a busybox installer - and follow the prompts in the app.

Ok I downloaded un installer for root from the market and it has allowed me to delete. Chuck Boris was on on my titanium backup but I only had the free version maybe that's why it wouldn't work?

Arnezie,
shoot me a Private msg with your email and ill email u

Delete if you must, but there are risks with synching after doing so. Many of those apps you might find undesirable are integrated into Sense.
You would probably find backing your rooted stock ROM and then flashing a custom ROM that you like a safer choice.

[GUIDE] What to do if you get the UPDATE Notification (OTA) while rooted.

Ok, so I've seen this question asked I don't know how many times in each Rom at the Dev Section and also in the General Forum so I decided to make a quick guide.
- If you're on any ROM or even stock rooted and get prompted to update to the new update you can do a couple things.
1.- If you don't already have Titanium Back up, Download it from the market and FREEZE Device Management. Once you freeze it just reboot and the update will go away. I was going to recommend Bloat Freezer, but I couldn't find it on the Market, not sure what's going on with that.
This is the easiest step * ** *
Titanium Backup - https://market.android.com/search?q=titanium+back+up&c=apps
*An alternative would be using Root Explorer -
Under System/ App/ wssyncmldm.apk Just delete.
Root Explorer - https://market.android.com/search?q=root+explorer&c=apps
2.- If you must have the update for some reason and don't want to just flash a ROM that's already 2.3.6, then it's best to go back to stock. UPDATE will not work unless you have STOCK RECOVERY on your phone.
To go back to stock refer to this Guide made by Jangst123.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321811
3.- You can also try to flash your nandroid backup and then Odin the stock recovery. You also might need the stock kernel if you had a custom one installed, in this case flash Stock kernel first before your nandroid.
Stock Kernel - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/kernel-stock.zip
4.- If you're only rooted with the stock Rom you can try to update without doing anything, but you will lose Root. There has been reports that it has worked for some, but not for others.
Be Careful with what you decide to do!!
== The update you are getting is NOT ICS, it is an update to 2.3.6 and for the Wifi Calling App. == In order for Wifi calling to work you MUST have the New Sim card that came with the phone. If you don't have one go to your T-mobile store and get one. =
*** If you rather just get the Baseband/Modem by itself then you can get it from here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11883-odin-tmo-sgsii-modem-collection-eam-kang12142011/
Thanks to Team Kang.
Hope this HELPS, now if people only used the SEARCH engine. I think I'm going to make a guide on how to use it, LOL.
*I am not responsible if you damage your expensive phone in any way. Use this guide at your own risk.*

Or....... just use free es file explorer on market ( don't forget to enable root under its settings ) and backup/delete both wssync apk's under /system/app. Then reboot
Takes less than 2 minutes and can be done without odin, firmware flashing, ect

Thanks for the info, i switched different rom's due to the update message stuck in the notification bar

Bloat Freezer is definitely not an app to use for freezing the Device management app anymore. An earlier forum post pointed out that it's been pulled from the market, and as this article cites, with good reason. Alternatives suggested are SystemCleanup, NoBloat, and as the OP pointed out, Titanium Backup.
Good Luck..

thank you for the thread

Hi, i went back to stock everything, and i haven't had a prompt for the update yet. I updated previously, is that the reason why?

= The update you are getting is NOT ICS, it is an update to 2.3.6 and for the Wifi Calling App. == In order for Wifi calling to work you MUST have the New Sim card that came with the phone. If you don't have one go to your T-mobile store and get one. =
Ok what if the next update is ICS and i'm rooted and I want to update? Will it mess anything up if It tries to update?

Thanks, a simple guide with an easy solution.

If there were only a version of this that worked on the Epic 4g Touch (Sprint version of SGS II), we're having a problem with that right now.

Titanium is free, and does everything you will need. The donate version is very inexpensive too.

Titanium backup is great! And the pro version that does all the restoring in one go!

Which one do you use?

jasnn,
Thank you for the heads up. I read that article and seems like this Trey guy is a bit shady. Which one do you use jasnn? I plan on buy Titanium backup in the near future before I start loading custom roms, but I am looking to leave the stock rom for now and just get rid most the t-mobile preinstalled stuff. In all fairness I was pretty impressed with the dnla app allshare and also Kies Air but there was just sooo much preloaded junk.

thank you so much! it helped alot!

thanks for this

Do you have Download Manager 2.3.6?
If so try that one.
Are you already on 2.3.6? Because I noticed Device Management is no longer there once I updated to 2.3.6.
But you're on Sprint, so not exactly sure what it's called.

Stop OTA update notifications

I am running a custom rom and have recently been getting spamed with sprints OTA update notifications for the firmware and voice mail. From my understanding I can't install these since I have a rooted phone running a custom rom but I would like to stop getting notified about this update every few hours. How can I make it STFU?!

this has been answered many times over. search is your friend.

I tried that before taking the time to make a post and it was as useful as your response.

wow well have fun. I have helped many people and know for a fact if you push that little button called search this forum you will find it. its people like you who I won't help. if you can search for yourself using the criteria you posted in your first post you may have found this. it was the first one.

wow must admit that is pretty big of you and nice going. also have to say his lack of response from the forum was probably because he had to be about the 20th person to ask that same thing. I know it can be difficult to find things sometimes but I am a firm believer in a thorough search and that includes going page by page prior to posting.
nice to see things work out at xda.... Also I am the guy who posted a FOTAkill.zip file thats flashable to stop the OTA updates. Hopefully you found what you are looking for but if not just search for the zip I mentioned or look in UnNamed's thread in development

cool I didn't know you made a zip to do it. thanks.

I installed FOTAkill.apk a while back.
I have a Sprint Samsung Epic Touch.
I am running Rooted Stock EK02 and when the latest EL29 came out it was crappy. I went back to my Stock EK02 and kept getting the OTA update. I installed FOTAkill. Its been a few weeks.
My question is, Does simply removing the fotakill.apk from EDIT /system/app (i think thats where i removed it from) completely remove it or is that just the install app and the program is installed permanently and i cant remove it.
I ask because there is another potential update coming soon that seems to have a better modem package. I try to stay as basic stock as possible.
But this is my first time to want to remove a program like that. Its not showing up like other installed apps (duh because its a system app) so does removing the apk from that location remove it or is it still installed?

I don't know really. I haven't used the apk. but you can nAndroid backup and try it. couldn't hurt.

Remember all you will be doing is flashing the updates so removing this does nothing for you in that sense. If you have rooted your phone I am sure you will get the rooted versions and DO NOT DOWNLOAD OTA... You rooted for a reason

[APP] Samsung Social Hub APKs - Reinstall

[APP]I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU IF THIS DOES NOT WORK, BRICKS, OR DESTROYS YOUR PHONE... TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN, PERSONAL RISK.....
I resently uninstalled my Samsung Social Hub from my T-989 T-Mobile SGSII (It may work on all Samsung Galaxy S II's) and was at a lost on how to get it back. I read about 10 to 15 post and they gave the instructions but the files couldn't be found on there download sites. I attempted to figure it out with SUCCESS!!... Mind you, I am BRAND NEW to creating anything for phones... So please go easy on me.
1. In ClockworkMod Recovery flash:
1samsung_social_hub_Push then 2.Social_hub_7.52. Incase only one of there installs, you should still be fine as it did for me, my auto updated to the latest Social Hub.
2. Reboot your phone and let it start up as normal.
3. Unzip the SocialHubAPKs on your PC. Once unzipped, copy all APKs to you SD card on your Android phone (and remember their location)
4. Now using a Root Explorer on your phone, find all the APKs, copy all & paste them in the "/system/app" folder located on you SGSII.
5. Now that all the Social Hubs from the zip are placed in the /SYSTEM/APP folder, simply REBOOT your phone and open up Social Hub, ENJOY!!...
PS: I used 1Samsung_social_hub and 2.Social_hub_7.52 from another page but couldn't remember from where... So Thank You to you guys for the first to parts, the APK's I put together myself... But it worked... This should also work if you have a debloated ROM but want Social Hub on your phone...

work?

Guys:
I've just turned mi Galaxy S4 from i337m to i9505 with Wanamlite 1.5 but when I try to sign in to Samsung Hub it says: "Invalid Device ID".
Do you know any solution? I've got some movies I bought before and I can't watch them
Truth be told, I don't wanna go back to i337m roms because they do not support apps to sd.

I would first uninstall app. Use file manger to delete apk info. I would use prop edit and rename the build prop of the new phone to the old one and reinstall the apk. Your Apks and movies should work
