It's no longer available since it pushes ads/spam until you give it a 5 star rating.

Then you might want to give titanium backup products a shot it works great if you want to spend the $6 on it, it is a great app

App Quarantine is a free option and it's adfree
I think the best way to get rid of bloat is to root your phone and installing a custom ROM without all the bloat.
I put off rooting my phone thinking it'd be too complicated or scary, I didn't want to brick my phone but there are great YouTube videos on it.
Then flash a custom ROM (more YouTube videos). I've tried the Mohkg, Zombie, Bombaridier, and Juggernaut ROMs. I like BeastMOD and am trying Paradox right now.
I'm using Root Freezer Pro and it works like a charm.

Agreed. Titanium Backup is well worth the money.
HERE is a spreadsheet that lists whats safe to remove, what they do, and whats not. Knock yourself out.
script
I one of the forums there is a script by playya to remove bloatware. Does anyone know if it is only for custom ROMS, or whether one can flash it on stock ROM. Noob status does not let me ask the question in the apps/dev forum.
Themes, stock, custom ROMs, custom icons. Post it.

Paranoid Android, Blue Cobalt theme, random background pic... simple, yet visually pleasing.
I love the cobalt themes just for the icons. But I am in a stock icon mode atm, I have all the colors from cobalt as well as a few others. They are nice. And afterburner looks pretty sweet. Thanks for sharing.

Nice look to it, is it pre-tweaked? I like PA due to the hybrid-ness between phone and tablet modes as well as some other settings. But I'll keep that one in mind if I end up trying a different ROM.

I've actually done research and there are a few that do work. Avast and Zoner work. You can test it with a file from the market. Search for 'Zoner antivirus test' and DL that to test your av app. Its not harmful to your phone, just has a piece of code that is recognized by av software. That will tell you if it works. Personally, I've used both and have found Trojans in apps on the market which are immediately scanned and deleted automatically. So I know they work for me.

Yeah I've used Avast but don't you wish that these so called security programs would scan the apps for unwanted ads instead of trying different 'Ad Blocker' apps that most times don't work anyway lol, I guess the only way is to get rooted (soon) so I can use 'Lucky Patcher' just nervous about rooting even though the 'hereric rooting' thread looks easy enough but I had it easy with HTC/Android phone rooting cuz it's just one click programs and your done with basically '0' chance of bricking

Uncool. Using lucky patcher is, first of all, illegal, second, these devs who give you free apps need to support themselves somehow. So they put ads in their apps. If you're not willing to see a few ads for the functionality of the app, you don't deserve to use it.

I am not talking about ads just in free apps but also 'PAID' apps, which should not be aloud and I do pay for apps and I agree all devs deserve to get the money for their work so if your the first to cast stones do so but not in my glass onion.
Rooting the nitro is a process but its quite simple. As long as you follow the instructions you shouldn't have any problems. Ad free usually takes care of ads on a rooted device, without having to use lucky patcher. You should definitely give it a shot once you root.

What kernel are you currently running on this ROM? Have you tried other music players? flashed any recent sound mods?
Unless she's tried something else, I believe she's using the kernel from klin1344. Looked to be pretty up to date.

I don't think she's flashed any sound mods, but perhaps that may help?
I'm not a CM guy, so I don't know a lot about it. Hoping one of you guys may have a suggestion.

Just AOSP I believe. It uses different source that isn't 100% open I don't think. Meaning CM and other teams have to work with what they are given, not enough for perfect. It may get 100% eventually but not right now.
Very interesting I tried to go back to stock rom because when I send picture it says phone not registered on network. Looks like I can only get back to rom that's on phone (liquidsmooth)and I did back up before doing anything.

Do you have the pro version? Free version won't allow you to access root. If not, ES Explorer and Root Browser are good free alternatives.
My favorite is Root Explorer, but its a paid app too.
Once you have this sorted, find the mms.apk you downloaded, long press and copy, then browse to /system/app.
(You may need to mount it as r/w. Press menu key or look for a switch/button on screen)
Rename the existing mms.apk to mms.apk.bak
Paste the new apk in the app folder. Long press the apk and change permissions to match all other apps in that folder.
Reboot and try sending a mms.

Oh and to restore a nandroid backup, you have to use the same recovery you created it with. I think you changed recoveries at some point, right?
If it was created with cwm, it can only be restored with cwm. Same for twrp.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
+1 on that. The only sure way to convert backups specific to any recovery is to restore those backups on the very recovery they were originally created on then flash your desired recovery, reboot, boot back into recovery, and create a whole new backup of the one you just restored from the previous recovery. It may take some time, especially if you have a number of backups you're wanting to convert but it's well worth the time in having all your backups in one simple recovery folder.
Gonna try one of the ones you suggested and see what happens lol I changed my mind if I can get this rom where I want it then I'm staying with it lol with your help of course lol

Doesn't matter if you download by phone or pc but I'd use pc for best results. Also, download the latest gapos 20130301 from Goo or you can use updated inverted packages if you like. I personally recommend SlimRoms gapps.

Does anybody know why the phone app on my LMT launcher does not work? I'm running wicked v5.1, stock deviant kernel. Is there a workaround? Thanks in advance... :beer::beer::beer:

Were you asking how to get the lmt pie control to work included in wicked rom? You have to enter the settings and start lmt and then pick where you want it to open from. I hope I helped and if I read it wrong let me know of maybe I can try helping again.
No I'm sorry what I meant was I know how to use it, it's just when I add "phone" as one of the quick apps, it doesn't bring up the dialer?

Hello everyone! I am using LMT 2.0 and also have the same problem (the phone app does not work from the pie), but I think I have found a solution.
Under the list of normal commands about the pie, select "app" then select "CONTACTS" from the list of applications. This must be some kind of bug, because instead of opening the list of contacts, it opens up the phone dialer app, instantly.
(hopefully this works on other phones) (I am using a custom rom on jelly bean)
I first want to thank everyone for their hard work in developing the awesome ROMs we have available to us today. Lately, I've been installing an assortment of 4.2 ROMs and it seems to me that I've lost a good deal of my capacity key control. The home key doesn't function at all aside from haptic feedback. It doesn't go to home or recents (if long pressed). Is anyone else dealing with this? And is there a way to fix it?

Your ROM may not have sqlite3 installed. It's not a part of busybox. Are you running pure stock right now? It should be in CM or most custom ROMs.
I'm currently on Carbon ROM where I also installed your ext4all and killjoy's standard script. I tried installing sqlite3 through an app and it keeps saying that there's not enough space...although I'm sure there is on both sd cards. I've also had adaway say similar things, but I did a work-around to fix that. Should I just try a clean install? Or is there something else you would suggest I try first?
