[Q] Sprint zone installing itself - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Has anyone else have the Sprint zone install by itself? anyone know why?

Yes there are also a couple more that will do this. It seem they are on a hidden partition or so and thy will reappear every now and then. That is why we can delte them without root because they will come back.

You have to FREEZE them through Titanium Backup, do not uninstall.

[Q] Titanium Backup message history

I'm using Cyanogen 6.1 and I've backed up with TB. Which line contains my backed up messages?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Im wondering that too. I just loaded a new rom and lost all my messages. I don't remember this happenning in the past.

I didn't know Titanium backed up messages glad i looked at this thread
If, for example, you were on Cyanogen 6.1.1, backed up everything, wiped and flashed it back from scratch, then batch restored everything and rebooted, you would get your messagees back. However, if you do something like that, it's probably because you were having issues, and you likely DON'T want to restore everything.
Does nobody know the answer to this?
There are 2 backups that start with [SMS...] one is dialer storage which I think holds the messages. The other says prefs so I assume it's just message settings. I restore both so I can't tell you exactly which one it is.
They are both green by the way. One is a bit further down the list from the other.

[Q] New Epic?

My 4g radio recently crapped out on my phone, so I have to go get a new epic. My question is, if my current phone is rooted and I have a nandroid backup, can I restore everything back to the new epic once I root it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I just hour my new phone yesterday. Personally I backed everything up using titanium backup pro. Once I got my new phone rooted and installed my rom and my theme I was running before hand I restored just the apps in tb no data. I'm just manually setting everything up again as its a fresh phone and it deserves a fresh start.
A good idea before installing all your apps again is to see what your phone can handle as far as oc and uv. That way your not fighting the apps fc when testing your limits

Alright, thanks for the response. Sounds like a good idea.

Frigged my Epic a little

Here's my situation: experimented with removing some system apps today (mostly bloatware) on my rooted stock ec05 Epic and I decided to try getting rid of "System Updates 1.0.0". Then, I remembered I sometimes use the update prl function to reconnect my 3g if JuiceDefender doesn't kick it back on automatically after I wake the screen up, so I popped back into Titanium Backup to restore the app. It's been in the process of restoring it for the past 30 min and I'm not optomistic anymore. My question is this: is there a way to get this system app back short of ODINing back to complete stock? I lurk a lot on the Epic boards but I haven't experimented a lot with my Epic itself, so I'm ignorant when it comes to these tricks. Thanks for any help I receive.
Cheers

Try reflashing the rom and you cant backup sys apps with titanium
I reccomend you use sdx stock app remover it pretty easy and backups too and it doesnt take forever like titanium

Damn. I was afraid of that. It's funny because TB restores most of Tue other apps just fine, just not System Update and the drm files.
How about this: I located the apks for these three in my TB folder and extracted them to the sex backup folder. I'm trying to restore them via sex tool now, but I always get an error saying I'm out of space, and SD maid doesn't turn up anything I can delete to make room. If I could make room, would that method work, and if so, how should I make room?

Use SDX to backup and delete the Asphalt demo and you will have room.
I'd already deleted asphault before this, so I'm sol there.
In fact, I tried something else this morning andachived a stellar bootloop, so I Odin's and am going to use sdx. Thanks for all the help!

Get rid of the double-ended dildo. That'll free up a fair amount of space.

lol. That's actually the ever-helpful Gingerbread keyboard on my NookColor. Gotta love it.
The latest paid version of Titanium Backup allows the deletion and restoration of system apps. You should see a red Happy face, IIRC.

Rooting before sending in for service

I'm sending in my phone for Warranty work to Samsung, the lady over the phone said I can root it to do my backups and I wouldn't have a problem.
Not sure if to trust her, or just send it without backing everything up...
What cant u save as is i mean angry birds is all i lost before i had root access even that can be done without.
Titanium will save all my apps and settings, I've always used it.
I just rooted, maybe I'll unroot before sending.

Yea but theres not alot to lose but time with a few exceptions of things. Apps can be downloaded again if you want.
Not sure why you asked since youve been rooted before. If its enough of a hassle not to then do it and then put it back to stock. Thats assuming whatever is wrong with your phone wont make it risky.
Never rooted this phone, but I see how easy it is to do.
Tb does much more than save me the hassle of downloading app, it stores my settings for all the apps.
I just did a data wipe and have everything exactly as before within 10 minutes.

Yeah just grab the auto root and run it. It wont work on whatever the next official release from sprint is though. After your done you could always odin over a stock tar.
I have titanium backup pro as well but mainly only use it for a few apps.

[Q]Are these sprint apps safe to remove?

I finally unlocked my phone and was curious if some or all these sprint apps are OK to remove? I already removed sprint id and sprint zone with titanium and wasn't sure about these pictured.
Thanks.

I know Connections Optimizer is. Its called something like "WiFi offload if i remember right. The other 2 I don't think so.
Make a backup in TWRP first in case you remove the wrong apps

I assume if I was to remove the connection optimizer I pictured, then I also need to remove WiFi offload as well? I do have a backup made already. Did that right after backing up the efs 3 different ways (with twrp, freegee, and autoprime's flashable efs backup tool). Plus I do backups of apps in titanium before removing them. I learned that lesson the hard way with my evo.

Very smart to back up multiple ways.
I'm not a fan of Titanium, but if i remember it right, WiFi offload is what titanium will delete.
I think the safest way is to freeze apps first. If nothing bad happens then delete.
I just go to /system/app and start deleting apps. Its usually pretty obvious what is bloat and not. And if you delete the wrong app, you can restore from TWRP.

Didn't know I could restore apps via twrp. I thought I could only backup and restore the phone itself incase I need to flash back to stock. Is there an option to backup/restore certain apps or do you get options when restoring? I haven't played with twrp much yet.

It doesn't restore apps. Just the backups you make. 5 min from screwed up phone, to fixed.
