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.

I know it says 2.1 but it's a good start.

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.

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

I just noticed that I can't see who sent me a direct message. I have heard of it on the Desire but not EVO. Anyone else having this issue and what can I do to fix it?
Peep is terrible man its usually the first app I delete on my phone lol; plus its plagued with bugs and I believe it drains alot of battery. Try the official twitter app or seesmic.
I just wanna know if its my phone only.
That's a bug with peep in general, still no fix yet.
Huh, I wonder why I never saw it before. I guess my last direct message was December2010
It has happened to me before and others with evos have reported this issue before. It seems to be a hit and miss, sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't.
It pretty we have to root to remove something that doesn't work.

Yeah with no root you're stuck with a broken app(peep) that drains battery. Root is awesome, try titanium backup if you want to remove it.
I ended up using the twitter for android. It seems to work well.

Good call. That's the same one I use and its not a cpu hog like peep.
just a question, if I root with Unrevoked 3, and do a backup with the clockwork isn't all my apps including embedded apps backed up?

It should back up everything for you
along with the android.process.acore issue im getting a slew of other errors. cant make any calls, cant load any contacts or messages. Im on SFR 2.1 everything was working fine earlier today, I cant think of anything I did to cause this. Im super stressed, iv searched around, people say to re-flash the phone... that makes me nervous.. what should i do? any help is much appreciated.
Sounds like data corruption. Are you journaled? Did you have an abrupt power off of the phone?

If you have a recent nandroid backup, restore it from cwm. If not, you will need to reflash the rom.

I doubt it's a hardware issue, sounds like data corruption potentially caused by lack of journaling an unstable undervolt/overclock or a combination of the two. Reflash your ROM of choice, and turn on journaling (if it's not already). It's a slight performance hit, but well worth it. Honestly the only time you'd even notice a difference is during a benchmark, these phones are plenty fast enough.
so I just re-flashed my phone... all my wonderful apps are gone.. all those high scores..everything. Im so sick of this phone.

It's your own fault. At least learn from it, utilize apps like titanium backup to backup apps and settings, make weekly NAND backups and enable journaling so it is unlikely to happen again.
I just had that happened to me about two hrs ago an don't know waht to do. It seem like my epic won't read my sd card and titanium back up and all my other apps are in there! I lost my google, facebook, clock, and almost everything force closes!!! Any help out there???

Bad flashing can happen on any phone. You would have had the same problem with journaling off on any phone. You can return this phone and still flash yourself into force close hell on a different phone. You aren't using Android right, it's not the Epic.

ok, I have heard a lot of good reports on this app, My Backup Root. So, am I just doing something wrong?
I first tried My Backup Root, and it "seemed" to work fine, but I didn't' actually use the phone much afterward as I had just gotten a replacement from Sprint and was only trying it out before switching phones. Then, after I did the switch I discovered that I needed Pro to restore to a different phone. So, I purchased it and restored everything. But, I noticed I was getting a lot of FCs. Thinking it was the ROM ( I also tried the new EG22 ROM by decad3nce at the same time) and so I flashed to the RandomROM EG22, and restored my apps. But, I am getting the same thing, lots of apps just FC on me. I have found though that if I uninstall the app and reinstall it, the app works just fine. So, it seems to be a restore problem.
For the record, I am only doing the apk backup, no data. I have read lots of great reports on this app, so what am I doing wrong?
I used to love my backup pro but lately it has been doing that to me too, lost a lot of game save files because of it. I eventually gave up on it and bought titanium backup pro for aps. I still use mybackup to backup everything else but it fudges apps.

I've been having similar problems. a work around that works for me (most of the time) is restore the app and the data separately.
Are there any issues I might run into if I restore the apps I backed up from my HTC EVO onto my S3?

I would do only apps.. One at a time... And be cautious on data for some apps...Especially older system apps. But generally you should be fine. I moved from og epic with only a couple minor things that an uninstall fixed.

I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DONT DO THIS... Maybe it was just a fluke with my phone, but after doing this my phone wouldnt charge... kept saying charging paused battery temp. too high/low....wouldnt even charge when powered off and i had to get a new phone.
This occured after installing apps one by one and only restoring data for 2 games. i didnt install any system apps from my old phone.
if you decide to do it tho i'd like to know if you encounter the same issues that i had.

Yea, I was only planning on restoring user apps without data. No system apps.

That's strange. I've got a bunch of apps so it'll be a pain in the ass to install them one by one but I don't want any problems.
Mass restoring user apps with data has never been an issue for me. I've done it between all my devices...but of course if you do run into issues, you have to go back and see which app is causing any instability. Chances are you'll be fine

Yeah, I didn't think it would be a problem either.... that's why I did it. this was the only thing I did to my phone besides rooting and I had to buy a new phone . Didn't flash any ROMs or mods...very strange. Maybe I just had a defected phone
