Now that we have perm root, titanium backup

guys, i cant stress this enough and i'm sure the old android heads here will agree with me. their are many many different android phones out there that have root. And although they're all different they all have a few apps in common. setcpu, rom manager, terminal, titanium back up.
I just want to touch base on Titanium backup.
It allows you to totally remove any app, including bloat ware. You can also suspend apps.
the freeze feature was handy because i enjoy sense but didn't like its apps and widgets hogging ram for no reason; considering i never used those sense apps. it netted in a nice battery and performance gain, at least.
one awesome thing about TB is the ability to back up your apps and reinstall all of them. the whole experience is as streamlined as batch market downloading and waaaaaay better than astro file managers one at a time annoying install.
Also, after a full wipe you will definitely want to run market dr so u can easily keep tabs on your updates.
in short, you wouldn't bang her/him without a condom right? well don't flash with out titanium backup!
I totally recommend the paid version!!!!!

So now we can uninstall completely without consequences web2go, Pico TTS, Quickoffice, Listen , Home screen tips, Google Skymaps, Google Translate, Goggles, Finance, wifi calling, etc ??
I was about to but i got a message that said i might have to reinstall the ROM if something craps out...

you should be able too delete what u want. I wouldn't remove wifi calling though lol
I would wait for a clockwork recovery version to be available. This way u can make a backup before u delete all that

oh i see,
in regards to a backup? i think itll be best to be safe than sorry and wait till clockwork recovery is released.

is there a big difference between the free and paid version? what im asking is would i still be able to do back up and delete bloatware with the free version

The batch is MUCH better with the paid version, definitely well worth it

I agree!!!!!!!!!

Just one thing: please don't forget that system apps (ie: apps that are part of your ROM) themselves can't be restored by TitaniumBackup for now. Only their data is backed up. So if somebody is not 100% sure about removing a system app, it's wise to try freezing it first -because that's easy to undo.

So how do we do the remove of unwanted apps

How to remove bloatware and extend battery life?

MY PHONE IS FULLY ROOTED BUT ILL BE A MAN AND ADMIT IVE ALWAYS BEEN TO AFRAID TO FLASH CUSTOM ROMS. I SEE ALOT OF PEOPLE ON HERE ALWAYS HAVING ISSUES WHEN THEY DO SO AND IT JUST SEEMS TO COMPLICATED FOR ME TO FIGURE OUT TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEMS. BUT I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS AWAY I CAN MAKE MY BATTERY LAST LONGER WITHOUT FLASHING A CUSTOM ROM AND ALSO WHAT APP DO I USE TO REMOVE ALL THESE DUMBASS APPS SPRINT PRELOADED ON MY PHONE?
Sent from my PC36100

its not that hard, but for now, the app you use for bloatware is titanuim backup, its like your best friend after your nandroid backup, with titanium what you do is install it, it will probably say you dont have root but its ok, after it says that you will see a box at the bottom of screen that says problems?, click it it will ask you to install busybox, hit yes, after that app will be ready to use. so then you go to back up/restore and all you do is click what ever app you want to remove, but instead of uninstall you hit freeze, that way the app gets dissabled but its still there in case you ever need it.
also dont forget before you make any big changes on your phone, always make a nandroid or rom backup from recovery, so you have a fall back in case of emergency

First off, turn caplocks off, We can, and everyone else outside of a 3rd grade education can read lowercase letters just fine, thank you.
and second. if your phone is fully rooted it's really INSANELY easy to install a custom rom. but, there are guides for that so, I won't "bore" you.
For uninstalling bloatware, I love Titanium Backups, even donated for the Pro version that doesn't really unlock a whole lot that I use, I just use it so much I wanted to support the developer.
in Titanium Backups, select the middle tab up top, a list of ALL your apps will show up, you can choose to browse through them or search for a specific program. once you find it, back a backup first. Then uninstall.
word to the wise, be very careful what you uninstall, even if you think you won't ever use something like say.. "Stock" The stock market app.... uninstalling that can bork your phone, at least it did with previous versions of Sense based Roms, I have no idea if it still does it with an updated version. But, just a word to the wise.

Ok first thanks for the quick replys. I downloaded the premium version and it did exzactly what i asked so thank you both very much.
Now to get off Thread topic for a minute. To the turn off caplocks comment...anyone outside of 3rd grade can read lowercase letters. I dont do alot of customizing to my phone so i dont get on here alot but when i do it seems like someone always has something smart to say. Not just my threads but all of em. Wether someone ask a question that has already been asked or someone mispells a word or some post something 5 minutes later then someone else. I seriously think some people just get on here to ***** and nit pick over every little thing. This is just a forum and the evo is just a damn phone.. If someone hits capslock or repeats a thread guess what....the damn worlds not gona end! Put down the phome and turn off your computer and xbox go outside and do something with your girlfriend (if you have one) and chill the hell out!

Alot of that gets annoying. I just don't understand why people can't correct mistakes without being rude and condescending. Two wrongs don't make a right.

If your not trying to cheat your not trying to win!

Hmmmm i am getting vending process crash trying to update or install apps, anyone else? =\
That didn't work, bloody hell!!!! My phone was running so well, I guess I will have to reflash the rom ::weeps::
Be cautious un-installing apps using titanium.

Make sure you place the apk in the system/apps using something like root explorer.

no problems here, just installed it as a market update, no pushing req'ed.
its interesting to me that some are getting issues with app installs on this ver?
it Does seem to break a feature or two with TB (from what ppl are saying, out there, on the internets), the dev has been alerted, and I would expect an update soon. as far as Amazon... idk
worked flawlessly for me, but then again, I don't use Amazon, or TB to uninstall appz.

[Q] Decks Reloaded Questions(believe me i searched before i did this)

I even checked another one in the similar posts thread before finally writing this up. Ok
heres the skinny.
Rom is obv decks reloaded, as far as i know i have the latest update, released on the 25th of may. 44 mag rls.
i did the custom install and went with just about everything optional. (i also have run it in the standard install, the questions i have remain the same, affected me both ways)
I declined to run dtapps2sd because i have so much music on my sd card that backing it all up before wiping and partioning was just not an option.
Using amon-ra recovery
did complete wipes 3x, plus the wiper zip recommended, i love it. It is dam near perfection. Everything runs better, battery lasts longer, no more sprint nascar updates, no more sprint anything, I still have a wee bit of room left on internal storage, i just have, a few little questions/problems
1.I cannot for the life of me, figure out how to download attachments from my email in this rom, i have tried different email apps, ive tried installing the gmail attachment fetcher apps, everything i can think of. still cant get it to let me download anything, wont even pop up the option, just shows a paperclip, mocking me.
2.this might be my main irritation, i dont know what the deal is, or what is going on, but on my first install, and now randomly on my final, i get a weird, brrrgrgrggrggg dj remix dubstep lag sound while im playing music, and sadly, the dsp settings enabling the bassboost, is actually one of my FAVORITE parts about this whole rom, it makes my music sound great, but when it does that nearly in every song playing. it gets annoying, and im trying to figure out why.
I have a 32 gb kingston card, its always worked great, its not even a year old. and its never had a problem before. i still have 8 gigs free on it. I also noticed, when i did my final install, it seemed to actually stop doing it. Until i tried to plug it into my laptop via usb. Then, it was doing it really bad. Took the micro sd out, put it back in, settled down a bit. but i dont know. its a strange, strange thing. Anyone else having this issue? Or know a cause?
3. The usb tether... I saw this quesiton posted before, and the only suggestion was downloading the same version im already running. It will connect, but then, it just keeps asking to connect again, and my status bar starts bouncing text up and down, just go with a usb sync app from the market? any thoughts?
finally,
4. I know its on there, but how do i install the miui cam, i have a file explorer, i cant find it. Is this because im not running apps2sd? If not, where is it located, i looked under apps and data, i did not see anything, and then if i can get pointed to where the heck it is, what is the process, moving it to the folder the actual camera is in, and renaming it to an apk?
I admit. Im still new to all this.
but i do have much love, and, i owe xda, android forums and max @ evohacks alot of thanks and gratitude. Im doing my best, at giving a little where i can
i was going to post a screen shot,but i cant, because im too new , to show i did buy the xda PREMIUM app, what what hahaha...
any help, especially from one of the devs or a certified super genius on this rom, would be greatly, greatly, appreciated. ****, ill say it right now. help me solve these problems, and i will donate to your cause, buy your t-shirt, subscribe to your twitter, blog, whatever(sell my soul, give you my firstborn child....). Truly. and i stick to my word(especially on the soul/child). BIG BIG THANKS to all the devs who made this rom, TRULY. i FN LOVE IT. and if i never figure this crap out, ill keep using it anyways. Until they make a newer one, or i get my GSIII whenever someone decides to tell me when theyre going to actually release the 64gb version. ok. probably way too much talky. bye bye

I'm not sure about your other questions but at least for this one you need a file explorer that allows you to browse outside the sd card (I use root explorer) and then it is in data/app and is labled "MIUI Camera 17.apk" just tap it and it should ask you if you want to install it. At that point it is just an app on your phone.
For the other questions you might be better off posting this in the thread for Decks reloaded. Once it is in there you are more likely to get a response from rope, jaime or one of the other helpful people using this rom who know more than I do

I had the usb problem as well in fact posted about it a few days ago. What worked for me was the second solution of downloading bootmanager lite from the market hope that helps you!

thank you guys

If you're having a problem with the rom, and can find the answer after searching xda and google, the dev's are usually ok with helping you out. If it is a problem unique to you, they'll try and help you and if it's a global problem with teh rom, they will want to know about it anyways.
btw, I replied to your pm about the file explorer.

instagram likes glitch

Hey XDA sorry if this is in the wrong place as it is under apps i thought i should post it here.
I have been searching for a way to get more likes on instagram and eventually came across one.
so if you are a instagram user and are lacking somewhat on likes i have made this guide to tell you how to greatly improve that. ( could also bring followers )
1) Go to the android market download an app called 'Popu: Share likes on instagram' Log in, Acquire some free coins, I would advise gathering around 100 - 200 coins before continuing...
2) make a backup of your current rom... ( i have only tried this with cwm )
3) reboot- use some coins on the photo's of your choice once coins have been used up, simply restore your backup and the coins will remain giving you unlimited.
it seems abit of a challenge for something so little but i thought it was cool and shared it with you
Please note you will need root for this to work for taking backups, if you are not rooted dont try.
Thumbs up if it worked for you

Wouldn't it be easier to find where the information is which shows you the amount of coins you have is and somehow copy it spend all of the coins and then go paste the file back into there?

Or backup the "popu" app with TB and restore it right after ?
Faster and easier

I think it's great idea but this thread should be deleted before popu's developer finds out

delete it!!
