[Q] Deleting Bloatware after Perma-Root

So being the impatient soul I am, right after I got permanent root, I decided to jump into Titanium Backup and deleted some of the bloatware. I was so impatient, that I totally forgot to backup the system apps I deleted to a backup folder on my SDcard, so now those apks are gone. My question is now, if an OTA becomes available, am I going to have problems again, just like with Paul's Goggles app?
If so, what do you suggest I do? I am guessing now that now root has been achieved, we can install those apps to the system just fine again. Can someone upload these apks for these system apps, so I just feel on the safe side and I have backups? I would greatly appreciate it...

Of course, if you don't see this as being a problem for the future, please tell me. It would make me feel a lot more secure about things. Thanks!

it shouldnt be a problem, you can re download those in the market

Goddamn it. Now I went to uninstall Email.apk to replace it with an old one that doesn't require remote security, but it keeps giving me an "Application not installed" error, even with the backup of the original.
How do I get it to install?!

You don't install system apps, you just move then into /system/app/

its likely if an OTA becomes available a dev will mod it to be flashable to rooted and modified /system/ devices

i would love to know how to get rid of the annoying [email protected]!*& adds

Okay, I feel much better now. Time to play around with this thing! So excited!

Yea if an ota comes out, it will be modded to update the system and skip files not found, if there is a patch.
So your good. I'm just waiting for custom recovery with nandbackup before I start messing n the system. I just hate setting up the phone all over after
And if all else fails you can fastboot flash system.img from the orig pc10img. Wiping all your data and formating ur system. Then updating to ota.

Just use Titanium Backup to uninstall any apps you want. Long click on the app, and an uninstall option will be there.

[Discussion] Best way to backup and install aps.

Since at first we will not have access to the Market directly I was thinking that the best way to load aps would be with Titanium Backup. I have an Android phone now (HD2) that keeps the aps I use updated. By using z4root v1.3 or something like it to "root" I could just use my backup from the phone to keep my Adam aps up to date as well as to load them in the first place.
Any thoughts/discussion on this method or other ideas on how best/easiest to do it?

I plan on using dropbox and save all my apks there so I can access them from my Adam and install on the fly
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Dropbox is an excellant way of handling it.
I plan to use dropbox to get my Titanium Pro and then use the Titanium batch mode to load the aps so I don't have to do them one at a time. I will have to see if I run into over write problems. Want to start with an initial Titanium full BU anyway on the Adam.
I will probably use mostly the same aps on my phone and Adam. The phone stays updated automatically from the market and I do frequent back-ups using the Titanium batch mode for new and updated aps. If I then did an ap restore on Adam they would all be current and updated as well. This method should keep me current until the Honeycomb market opens.

AppBrain Market Sync
AppBrain Market Sync will not work in this case because the device needs access to the Market for AppBrain to work. Just FYI. AppBrain is really a Market filter and search engine not an app storage depot.
Update: Other tabs have AppBrain working fine so I am sure the Adam will have it working as well.

I'm sure someone will get the stock Google Apps and Google Market running on the Adam in no time...
--edit--
Check out rothnic's thread called Eden Plus for an update.zip package for rooted access and stock Google Apps added.

First and foremost before we do any playing around, even after root, we should make sure full NAND is working. Having a NAND backup that is fully functional is very important. On camera Rohan seems fine with us tinkering around, but when it comes time for his company to pay out warranty costs they will no doubt speak out against rooting.

when i had my g-tablet i was able to do that with titanium. as long as titanium is granted super user permissions it should restore all our apps fine. ideally this is what i'd like to do.

Isn't it possible to just pull the apps from your phone by using ADB?
I know I where able to do this a long time ago, but I forgot how to do it, and I can't seem to find any info on it anymore.
As that would be easier than trying to get titanium backup working.

Yes it is
but Titanium Backup and Drop box are both free so why not use them? Then you can continue to use them to make BUps on your Adam.

Yea, i know there both free, but to use dropbox whit Titaniumbackup, you need the paid version, so it's not completely free

Correct
I don't use dropbox through Titanium. I use both for different purposes. It would be to slow to use dropbox to transfere all of those files.
I use dropbox to transfer the occasional single file and do any printing chores.
I use Titanium to backup my programs. Then I use the Nike network* to move the mass files between devices.
* The Nike network or tennis shoe network is an old computer term for using physical media to transfer files between computers. You use your feet to move from one to the other. I first did this on my IBM 5110 in 1979. The 5110 was an early IBM portable computer that had 8" floppy drives and a whopping 64k of memory. Portable in those days meant any computer smaller than a room.

Ah, thats the rub! I was going to use this method too until someone reminded me of this.

Awaiting my Adam. I'm hoping My backupPro does the trick for me.
It won't get flash or other pre-installed programs (HTC Incredible) so I'm sure hoping someone is going to put up a thread for "must have" apk's like Flash so we can get to them easily.

Looks like Rothnic has an update.zip package with root access and Google Apps added.

All Adams are shipped with root privilege access. Just need market and SuperUser app installed, access given to TB, install Busybox from TB, and then it should be good to go.
If someone wants to help speed up this process join ##adamroot on freenode.net and help the devs. They are waiting for someone with an Adam to spend about an hour or less working through the kinks.
Or you can send me ur Adam and I'll help get things working

If you have not rooted your adam you can extract and install your titanium backup files with astro. Fyi

A complete newbie question as the Adam will be the first android device I'll own -
Can you back up your paid apps with dropbox / titanium or are they activated by username online?

Yes you can back them up, but you have to be rooted first.

Once you've paid for and app you can always download it again for free from the market (as long as you use the same google account).
If you definitely want to back up the apk, than you use titanium backup or also ES File. Not sure whether you actually need root to do that though.

Verizon Forced Update ??

So verizon forces this update to my phone. Not sure what it was, but it didn't give me an option to cancel, or defer. Now when my phone tries to boot, I get the little android error screen with the triangle and exclamation point, and the phone will not boot. I have already booted into recovery, and wiped everything with no luck at all. Did a full wipe and restore, which had it up and running again, but this morning, same thing. Triangle and exclamation point error screen from where the update was unsuccessful. What do I need to do to block this update so I don't have to do a restore every few hours? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Anthony

Same crap happened to my wife's phone yesterday, she is running Skyraider and VZW keep trying to forced update and fux0r the rom, had to wiped cache/dalvik, reload the rom on top of it so she can retain her data, as soon as I loaded up the phone I turned off the wifi, 3G, and auto sync then immediately performed the following steps to stop that ****.
otacerts.zip (rename it .bak or whatever)
com.smithmicro.dm (freeze it with titanium backup)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ing+OTA&page=2

I don't have the "donate" version of backup, so I can't freeze the stuff. If I unroot, I assume it will fix the problems.

Here's what I did after accepting the update:
I am rooted (stock rom) and accepted the OTA, after the install the phone will not boot completely it will fail with a white triangle, yellow exclamation point and blue android. To get the phone working again pull the battery, re-insert after a bit and boot into hboot, go to recovery and clear cache partition, this will put the phone back into service. I didn't wipe the davlik.
I got another forced OTA d/l yesterday and had to redo the above. I have renamed the otacerts.zip to .bak and I am anxiously waiting what happens the next time the OTA tries to d/l.

there are 2 otacerts.zip files:
etc/security
system/etc/security
which one needs to be renamed?
thanks.

I used AntTek App Manager (free in the Market) to freeze it.

I paid for mine and many other apps, and I have donated to devs who gave us root. As you said Titanium Backup is one of those must have apps that we all should buy, but don't be so arrogant to assume everybody has the extra cash to pay for the apps.

If you have paid $100~300 for a smartphone and pays $30 a month, I think you can pay $6. If you can't pay for one time deal, why would you have a smartphone that costs you $30+ a month? Promoting warez site is against the XDA rule and no respect to developers

Maybe I was a bit harsh - and I am sorry for calling you out.
Its just that I would find it hard to believe that the OP couldnt afford a 6 dollar app after paying a couple hundred bucks for the phone and about 70 to 100 a month for service.
Its like buying a luxury car but not being able to pay for the maintainence and upkeep.

anti leach
I proudly pay what little money I can to developers.
If I "Try" an app and plan to use it, then I pay for it.
I try to show some form of dignity to people that follow my lead..
An option would be to unroot and do what vomitrizen wants you to do.
If you can't afford to support the development community you should not be here.
And to crazyfireman, the same file is showing in two paths only because there second folder containing actual file.
Change either one and youwill be good.
Have a nice day...

Don't apologize. Anyone posting or recommending warez here puts the community in jeopardy. It doesn't matter how many "other" apps one has paid for, that entitles you to NOTHING extra; one theft is still theft. Posting advice on how to commit piracy is a potential liability to the site itself. Mod notified.

Having the same problem, but HBOOT is behaving strangely: it is not allowing me to use up or down arrows to go through the menu. It immediately asks "Do you want to start update?" and then allows me to select yes or no with volume up or down. It then prompts me to reboot, at which time I'm back to the same routine: Phone shuts off after about 20 seconds, ends up with exclamation point inside white triangle with green android guy.
Phone is not recognized by windows despite updating drivers so no luck with adb.
Any ideas?

You have a file in your SD card names PG32IMG.zip. so it sees it, and needs to "update"

I am having this same issue. From what I gather in reading this thread, I first need to clear my phone’s cache, then rename 1 file, and freeze another. I have a few questions about that I hope someone is willing to answer for me.
First, to the best of your knowledge are the steps I described above correct?
Second, before I clear my cache I want to verify that I’m doing it properly:
What I think I should do it boot in Revolutionary Clockwork Mod and then select “wipe cache partition”. Is that correct?
Lastly, I don’t have Titanium backup or AntTek App Manager installed on my phone. I can probably track down the apk on the net somewhere but how do I install it without being able to get past CWM? Can I just move the apk into the system/app directory?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help shed some light on these questions for me.

That's my problem. HBOOT and Clockwork Mod seem to be working fine for me.
Also, I have no problem paying $6 for the app but right now I cannot use my phone so I cannot install anything from the market. If I can track down the apk (which I have been unsuccessful at doing so far) I can move it onto my phone and into the system/app directory through the adb shell.
So, do you have any thoughts on my original questions? Thanks!

Last night it tried to push this update when I was sleeping, but I didn't have enough battery life for it to do it (thankfully). Anyways, I deferred the update for 5 days, and have frozen the file someone mentioned to freeze; however, I cannot find this otacerts.zip on my phone anywhere. Any ideas?

[Q] Newbie who needs help

Hello everyone, I'm a new member to this site, and I've heard that this site is where i can go to get some answers to problems, that being said, i was hoping y'all can help me with a problem I'm having with my phone.
So I rooted my Sprint LG G2 phone (this is the first time I've ever rooted a phone), then i went to remove some unwanted apps off the phone, then I thought to test and see if I can go back to stock, and without even thinking about the removed apps that i could've restored, I did a factory reset on my phone, it boots up, and I'm still rooted, and the apps that I removed did not come back, so I went to this app call "superSU" and did a full unroot, after that, I restarted my phone, and I still notice that I have root apps installed like "G2 Xsposed, Xposed Installer, Unistall, and Root Browser, so I opened up "Root Checker", it says my device does not have root access, yet I still have G2 Xposed, as well as other root apps I have, so I'm hoping that I can get the apps that came with the phone back (apps like "Clock Widget, Weather Wiget, Music Wiget, Music, SVI settings"), and go back to when I first bought this phone. Is there any simple method I can do to fix these problems with y'all help, I would really appreiate it.

[Q] SPH-L710T gaaps not working.

hey guys im here again with another question about this crap variant of the S3 -.- (personal feelings its so hard to do anything on this device and there is little information about this phone)
anyway my google apps are not working AT all. i had my phone rooted and i used lucky patcher to patch my google play store for INapp and INlvl purchases and installed a modified play store. around the same time i used a game hacking app called freedom.apk and i read that u had to combine that with market unlocker.apk... it worked out for a bit and everything was fiine then i uninstalled freedom.apk and marketunlocker.apk and then ALL my google apps suddenly stopped working. i have unrooted and factory reset my phone but its still having issues with ALL the gapps saying there is a network error and they can not connect to the server and my wifi settings are not the issue i have checked them over many times.
i also must say because i think the issue lies here.
i was messing around with lucky patcher and tried to modified Arcane legends and i put it as a system app on accident and i forgot to move it back before i reset the phone (i honestly didnt know i did that until after the reset) well after the reset its still on my phone (ive factory reset the phone multiple times unless im not doing it right but im pretty sure i am)
a budy of mine told after i patched the play store im supposed to do other steps that i didnt know but idk im stumped and ive finally decided to ask for help
please any help on this issue is much appreciated i cant even recover my contacts now or anything cuz they are all saved to google -.-...
UPDATED:
i found out how to fix this issue. i had completely forgotten that i had used an ad-blocker on lucky patcher. when i disabled it after re-downloading the app i was able to download all the gaaps and stuff again and recover my stuff from google.

First don't say you use apps to get paid apps for free cause you will be shunned...now in this instance i'm glad you mentioned it cause now we can clear up those apps you mentioned.....right now most apps work against those hack apps so you won't be able to get free paid apps or in app purchases. That being said never combine freedom.apk and marketunlocker.apk that's a definite no no it will cause problems. If you move apps to the system and you factory reset those apps won't disappear cause a normal factory reset in recovery doesn't delete system files and LuckyPatcher.apk will break most apps if you don't know what you're changing.
Now either if your in PhilZ recovery do a full wipe clean install about 4 times then reinstall the rom/backup before everything went to ****
--OR--
Odin back to Stock and redo everything from scratch, i know longer process but this is the only other option.

im honestly having trouble re routing my phone after the wipe ... i noticed tho my previous root was also kinda glitchy some apps i had wouldn't recognize root permission n stuff... i used the srsroot program for windows i think u comented on my last post i did about it. anyway if u could clear it up for me if i flash the CF-auto-root file for the SPH-l710 will it work ive read some peoples it does some it doesn't.
when i did research on freedom i came across some stuff that said to combine it with market unlocker because freedom didnt work in the states or something. and then after i uninstalled it i read people having the issues im having.
yea im learning that slowly with lucky patcher ive broke some apps messing around with them. but i try to research first before i mess around with stuff ive learnd u cant get free platinum in games like arcane legends but ive done it on bloons TD. im just doing it for fun and just to see if i can... i normaly just delete the app after anyway i hardly play mobile games. thanks for the information about being shunned n stuff i should of figured that people would look down upon it but i tend to be honest about what i do

honestly all you need to do to root is Odin back to stock NF4 since you have the T model and then Odin the latest Official PhilZ touch and use the re-root option that it has then your rooted on stock and if you flash a custom rom chances are that it will be rooted lol

hey hokage i been busy havent had time to reply.
so i have verified im rooted. i got the latest version of SU on my phone.
i still cant log onto any of my gaaps... i cant even update any of my apps at all when i try to one said "there was a problem parsing the package."... when i use a app like lucky patcher when i open it it says "sd card not detected. limited functionality!"

Thank u man. Ive been tearing my hair out over this for awhile... ive tried alot of things except flashing a new rom to my phone...

Just a quick note. Its so very important to make a backup before playing or changing things around. I know this may not help at the moment but just think if you would have took 10 mins and did a backup you could have restored your phone back to its working condition. So please remember to ALWAYS do yourself the favor of taking the few extra mins to make a backup FIRST THING.... I wish i knew more about gapps to helo you out but i dont. I stay as close to stock as i can.... Good luck my friend. I wish you the best. But remember to do a backup next time
