Hi,
Looked around but I didn't see a post on this. Is there a way to disable the screen capture feature? I am tired of taking images of my screen and having the home button capturing images of my screen. If any one knows that would be great.

you need root, but if you're on XDA ''developers'' , I suggest you already have...
otherwise use the universal root.zip at the dev section of the gio..
then install an app like titanium backup..
freezing is disabling the app, but not removing it.
removing does remove the app ofcourse
I have titanium backup installed already but I don't see a file called screencapture... My filters are set to "ALL" so I should be able to see everything. Is there another file I should be looking for?
it really is called screencaptureservice.apk , use a file browser and go to system/app , maybe titanium can't find all .apk's
I found it in /system/app using Root Explorer but how to I go about freezing it do I just back it up and the remove it??
Move it to your sd card, somewhere..

"com.sec.android.app.screencapture" - freeze this one on Titanium Backup.

Is it posssible to remove this from the system? When I downgrade my kernel to root I get the keypad has stopped message continuously every 10 seconds. I use swype so I do not need it and I looked everywhere to remove it and cannot find it.
Thanks
The keyboard app is found in system/app then look for app called textinput-tng.apk.
Delete this and keyboard is gone.
I would suggest you backup the app before deleting incase.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Well after installing the LH9 update, my battery life is horrible like so many others.
I am going to downgrade back to a rooted LG1, and I want to prevent the OS from trying to do the OTA update again.
I've googled and done some searches on here, and read a few ways, but wanted to know if someone can clarify an easy way to do it.
Not to sound cheap, but I'd hate to buy Titanium backup just to freeze one thing, being as I wouldn't use the program for anything else.
I also read about just deleting the AT&T update program. But an not sure the best way to do that.
So I am just seeking an easy way to just stop the update process without having to spend money on apps I wouldn't use for anything else.
Using tibu to freeze an app is the exact same thing as disabling it in application settings. I think what your looking for is device management. I think.

Ok I just looked and it's called "AT&T Software Update" and you can't disable it normally in the phone. The option is grayed out.
Are there any free programs to Freeze apps? I wouldn't mind buying TiBu if I felt I would get more use out it. But for now I only need it to do that one thing, so I just can't justify the cost of it, being as it isn't too cheap.
TiBu is the best $6 I've spent on this hobby.
If your not rooted tibu won't do you any good anyway. But if you are rooted, go into system/app folder and either rename or move the apk in question. OTA no more.

go to system/app and delete wssyncmldm.apk and wssyncmldm.odex that will stop it. I would move them to your sdcard and keep them in case you need them again.

Thanks for the great info you guys.
Is there a free explorer app which will give access to the system/app folder? Or is Root Explorer the only option?
Thanks.
ES File explorer will, just enable root explorer in settings.
When I try to delete the apk and odex through es file explorer it always fails. Anyway to get around this? I'm a n00b.

Make fure you enable root explorer in es explorer settings and make system writable (also in settings).
I've looked up how to replace system apps and read multiple guides, but I haven't found what I'm looking for specifically. I want to remove the stock Google apps and replace them with alternatives. For example, I want quickpic instead of the gallery.
I've rooted my phone making it writable. I've flashed my phone enough times to know I need to read. I'm currently running Reloaded .500 RLS.
I've moved the quickpic apk to /system/app and changed the permissions and then I moved the gallery to /data/app and uninstalled it, but when I reboot the app is installed but force closes upon opening. What should I do? Also, should I change the name of the apk to the system app for association purposes because I want the replacement apps to be associated with the functions off the Google apps. Like when in messages when I click on "attach" I want to be able to click "picture from camera" which I can't right now even though I renamed the replacement app Camera.apk. Definitely need some help. Tia!

Get Titanium Backup from the market, uninstall the system apps and install your apps choosing "integrate into rom" or something similar

After rooting the optimus g pro, which apps can we safely freeze or remove?
I froze all AT&T apps and LG device help, no issues should really appear if you just freeze. If you installed a recovery through FreeGee, you can disable the LG security and delete what ever you want.

What you should do is go to apps under lg settings and click on each specific app and click the disable button. that will disable them from working and should stop them from showing up on your phone. If they persist on showing up you should use nova launcher, or action launcher and use the launchers "hidden apps" feature to hide the applications you don't want to see in the app drawer.
I took mine a step further and searched the entire file system and deleted every single bloat app I could find.
To fully get rid of the att apps...go to the root of the file system and go to vendor>apps and have a hayday and delete all those apps. Then you can also delete anything from system/apps. There's a lot of Crap in there that can be deleted too.

With every other rooted phone I've had I was always able to remove unwanted systems apps by either removing APK's from system/app or using titanium backup. Now with the One everytime I try to do that a reboot causes the apps to return. What's the deal? Amazon apps for example, don't want any of them, I'm rooted, how can I get rid of them?
Edit: I know there is a script I can run, but the script removes too much...

run the script and reinstall the apps you want...
I can make a custom script for you. What do you want to keep?

Dude that's insanely generous of you, but I guess this is what it comes down to... I use facebook and twitters integration with sense, which if I'm not mistaken lies in the framework? If I run your script, will it remove the integration? ie Facebook for HTC sense, Twitter for HTC sense... will your debloat script remove that? Really what bothers me more than having the bloatware, is not knowing why I can't remove it from system if it is R/W. I've just never ran into this issue unless it was a tethered root.

HTC has write protection on the system files.
Give me 20 min or so I will have you a script.
WTF write protection on system files? Is that because of stock Rom or what? I've never heard of that before. I did notice when I tried to use ES to move a .wav file to /system/media/audio/notifications it wouldn't stick after a reboot, then used Root Explorer to move the file and boom, it stuck after reboot.

I don't fully understand it, but I know it will revert changes after a reboot. To permanently change something you have to do it in recovery since the filesystem isn't active.
Anyone know how to restore one of the proprietary sense apps? I want picasa back in my gallary.

Thanx buddy. Will flash tonight when the wife & kids get to bed. Let me know if I can help you out in anyway.

Have you tried a TB restore? If that doesnt work, maybe pushing the app via adb? Which now brings the question can we push/pull files to system and have them stick, or no go because of write protection?

viperboy has a script to disable write protection, over at the sprint forum, don't know if it will work here or not, pm him and find out
here's a read on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236849
like i said it's for sprint, but i'm sure he can make one for you guys, too
