I just went through the process of unlocking the bootloader and getting my M8 rooted. First thing I went to do was use titanium backup to get rid of all the apps I hate so much. Apps like, T-Mobile my account, name id, and TV. Other apps that seem to be stock with the M8 itself that I don't want as well, like: kid mode, parent dashboard, Twitter, Polaris, etc. I go through select them all and it seems to remove them no problem. After using my phone for the rest of the day I had to reboot my phone for some reason, when it powered back on all the apps repopulated! Any else have this issue or know why this has happen? I know it's not a major issue but I hate seeing apps on my device that I don't want or use. Thanks in advance!

How do i get titanim backup to work?
I already have perm root and granted it permissions, but it doesn't load any of the apps on the phone. I was gonna use it toget rid of the bloadtware on my bell desire z.
I just switched from a galaxy s so i'm still learning the ropes of htc's implementation.

Ok, nevermind. Such a noob. I just updated busybox and it's working now.

U remove the apps? Did it stay after reboot?
Sent from HTC Desire Z using XDA App
nope, they are long gone. i used titanium to remove bloatware from my sgs before i switched to the desire. it's also really useful when flashing a full firmware coz you can back up and restore apps + app data in batches.

YOu just backed up the apps you wanted right? And cliicked the app u dont want and removed?

Titanium was fixed the other week to allow removal of system apps on the Desire Z and HD (before we had S-Off).
@jark99: yup. Just be sure to know exactly what you want to remove, and be careful not to remove important sys apps. One rule: if you're not sure the app should be removed or not, don't remove it.

Ouch, I wasn't aware that the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 had CarrierIQ, the battery-draining performance-sapping privacy-invader.
I came from the Sprint Galaxy S2, and there was a fairly involved mod to remove it.

Hopefully one of our ROM devs here can work the same magic.
Did you flash a Rom? Because I believe its only in the stock Rom. juggernaunt Rom doesn't have this process.

If your root i suggest making a nandroid backup. Then use titanium back up to remove the process.

I told you make a nandroid back up and remove the process with titanium backup. If its boot loops. Remove the battery and restore your back up from clockwork recovery.

I froze it with titanium with no negative effects so far. When I had an evo3D I had a kernel that blocked it completely from communicating with the network and even if installed again it would be unable to connect to anything. Any developers know of a way to get this done with our phones?
For all of those unaware of carrierIQ its a logging program for usage stats run by a company hired to get user stats for carriers. Its methods are extremely intrusive it can read KEYPRESS logs as well as has access to just about every scrap of data on your phone. Do a Google search. Big brother stuff.

it isn't in the juggernaunt rom i believe the developers already removed the process. the evo 3d has a locked boot loader. Samsung does not like i said try removing it with Titanium back up if it fails well nandroid. I'm actually looking in titanium back up myself. You can actually download the roms and open with 7zip or winrar go to system and see if its there.

Yeah rebooted, and I'm all good. I will post if I run into any problems.
Did you notice any battery performance improvement?
I searched all over and cant find an answer. I tried adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys+1" to build prop but got nothing. I want to utilize the full screen and I am used to gestures from my blackberry q10 so I thought this would be perfect. Thanks!
I am assuming you are already rooted. You can install the GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys app. Works nicely, but you have to buy the pro version to unlock dinner of the features.

You mean it should already be in their? I couldn't find it. I tried adding that to the end of the list but it didnt do anything after rebooting.
I added it to my build prop and it worked. I'm using lmt. It won't start up by itself though, or I haven't figured out how yet. Also make sure your keyboard didn't auto correct the words.

Would being s-on have anything to do with it not saving? I am rooted and everything but havent got around to getting soff. I add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" and reboot and nothing happens.
it seems like adaway doesn't save after a reboot either so I assume this has something do with s-on. I wasn't going to soff until cyanogenmod or something was available. So if anyone reads this, is that the issue?
its not saving because of system write protection, not s-off. If you have root already, there is a module the Original Android Development section that you can push to phone and setup script to disable the protection, allowing those apps to save after a reboot.

Thanks for the input. I guess I need to wait for a rom or something to come out for sprint because it seems for the buttons to dissapear, the phone needs to be rebooted which then reenables the write protection.

Nand backup as in from TWRP? I just found ViperOne ROM and flashed it and didn't make a backup.
If only I checked the thread sooner. I still can't get the write protection working and its annoying the heck out of me! I want pie!
Are you putting a 1 or a 0? I believe ยน is what hides the navbar. There aren't any modules you could flash to disable write protection? Idk if the ones in the m8 section are usable on sprint m8 or not though

No, because as far as I know, it's part of the launcher (although it can be updated through the play store). Ensure its not subscribed to anything and that it it's set to sync as little as possible.
turned off all of your auto update.

That does not delete it. If you want to really delete it too probably need root and system access. And have knowledge about adapting apk files. Maybe it's possible to remove some code from the prism.apk to actually true disable it. But that's kinda difficult i guess.
How did you folks manage the OK Google from any screen?
I'm on O2 UK, totally stock but running Themer. I enable Google Now and the 'any screen' button is grayed out. I enable US English but still, it won't work and won't register OK Google even 1/3 times, where it needs to be trained. Even with the Google Now launcher, it's the same.
Thanks!

If you are rooted you can enable it to work on Sense6 using exposed framework an the "Ok Google for 3rd party launchers / apps (4.4+)" module.
If this is installed you can enable the function in Google searches settings by going to Google settings > Voice.
If this method doesn't work you could try to use UnleashtheGoogle.apk (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/themes-apps/unleash-google-hotword-detection-t2803261). This is what I'm actually using on my M8 and works just flawlessly. I set it up after a downgrade to Google search 3.5.14 cause google removed the descriptions from the debug flag menu you otain by running UnleashtheGoogle (and believe ma you need those descriptions).

What about trying to S-Off with say SunShine. It will unlock bootloader and S-Off without data loss and you could go right away into installation of a custom recovery and rooting your device. The side effect is that you have to pay 25$ for the use of SunShine.

No SunShine does it without wiping. That's what I personally liked about it.
You get unlock without HTC knowing an without wipe and achieve S-Off.

1st: Google has to learn your pronouncing. Did you set en-Us as primary speech and you mother language as second?
2nd don't know. Maybe they have a zip to flash and remove it as well.
3rd hmmm good one too. Doesn't it if you put it onto the extSD?

For 2nd there is an answer found in the project era thread. It says no uninstall instructions, but the OP explicitly tells to run a backup prior to installing the mode for the case you want to remove it later on.
