[Q] Deleting "Stock Apps" HTC One X

Hello everyone!
I'm new here as you can see it's my first post.
I have just rooted my HTC One X today and I would like to know what the easiest way to delete the stock apps from the phone is such as the Amazon app. Since i'm new I am very unsure how to do this and yes I did search on how to do it and found a solution by using a android terminal application but I am unsure if it either works for HTC One X or if there is a easier solution to do this.
(Unrelated to the topic)
I also wonder how you guys updated your HTC One X because I haven't recieved a OTA Update? (I suppose that's what they call it) for my phone and I am still on 1.26 and my carries is "Three".
Thanks and hopefully ya'll can give me some advice since I am a big newby ^^

Only way to fully remove stock apps is to unlock the phones bootloader via HTC website (voids part of warranty) and the either install custom rom or root the stock one.
only thing you can do with standard phone is disable the apps you dont want. think this just stops it from showing in your app drawer and menus etc but its not removed.
For the update there are some threads in the one x section about each ota updates, im sure i read in one of them three are yet to release theirs.
I'm on three and had mine but I have a sim free phone.
This thread is your starting point if you want to go down the unlocking/custom rom route.

Thanks very helpful reply!
If I unlock my phone at Three as in sim card unlock to use any carrier does this mean I will get the OTA update?
Thanks i'll check out the feature of hiding the stock apps.

Not sure how it works to be honest, I'm a nooby myself.
If you unlock your bootloader you can download the ota updates from people on xda and flash them to your phone but that will require you to do a bit of reading if you never done it before.

No,
SIM Lock and the BOOTLOADER Lock are different, Three will just unlock your sim to use on other networks, HTCDev will unlock your bootloader to flash custom ROM's but VOIDS WARRANTY

Yeah I understand that, my phone is unlocked (the bootloader) and is rooted aswell. We're now talking about the OTA Update in order to get it quickly does my phone have to be unlocked as in simcard unlocked? because I heard carriers bring out these OTA updates and Three didn't release it at all.

If your phone is rooted and unlocked you can flash the ota update you want manually.
Find them in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606676
I believe the one most have and the one most current roms are using is 1.28.401.9
you will need CMW recovery to do it if you dont already have it.
I don't think unlocking the sim lock will get the the update over the air, it will still be a three branded phone.
EDIT
actually, reading a few of the posts it that thread it seems unclear if it works, id read the whole thread before attempting it.

Apologies for bumping this thread, I came across this thread through google. I ordered an HTC One X from At&T. I usually remove stock apps completely from my android phones through the superuser command line technique. Would I be able to do this with the HTC One X as well? You seem very knowledgeable. Thanks.

If you have root just install titanium backup and you can use it to remove whatever you please,

With that method you should still get ota normally,
Have you checked root? Use like root checker from the market
Then if you have get titanium backup free and remove what you like

Just got my HOX - what now?

Hey guys,
Before I get teared apart limb from limb, I tried searching for rooting on the new software and didn't really come up with any guides.
So, anyway. I just got my upgrade HOX in the mail, and I'm so excited! Of course, I've been on XDA before and rooted and customized and flashed to my heart's content, but I need some help.
Would someone lead me to a guide for rooting HOX on the NEW software? I just got my new kit today, I don't know if it automatically updates or not. I pretty much want to learn how to get to flashing a ROM.
Thanks!

Use it as stock for a few weeks at least to rule out any manufacturer hardware issues.
Update via the OTA check for updates in settings. (2.17 is the latest)
------
The when you want to play with custom, root of etc....
Install Android SDK
1st step is unlocking the bootloader via HTCdev
Then flashing clockworkmod touch recovery
Then flashing a rom of choice, all which have root I think.

I would actually emphasize this. So many people have had hardware issues and it will be a struggle to get the phone repaired after rooting via HTCDEV. Spare yourself trouble and give some time to rule out those problems.
Besides you can use that time to get to know the available roms, issues with them and the rooting/flashing process

Sorry I'm just trying to learn here but here I go. Are their any complications of using HTC to unlock the bootloader meaning can't the boot loader be relocked if he is trying to send it in for repairs?

It can be relocked but unlocking the first time sends HTC a notion that your device has been unlocked. And there are several people that are having a tough time getting their phones repaired even though the issues are hardware.
Depending on the country and law it is possible to force them to repair or replace a faulty device but trust me, that process will be a lot faster and simpler if you haven't tampered with the bootloader.

An irrelevant response but that's why I will always go the nexus route when buying android so I could avoid most if not all these issues.

Help with HTC One X ATT version
Hi Guys,
So I have unlocked my HTC One X ATT version using the HTCDev.com site. Now I want to install clockworkmod so I can proceed with custom ROM installations. But all the links that I find to CWM are dead.
Can someone point me to the live links please? I am itching to get the CM10 rom installed on my HOX.
Please note there are plenty of sites and links for international version of HOX but I want for ATT.
Thanks,

So, is there a root method yet for Android 4.4 Sense 5.5 on the Verizon HTC One or do we have to wait for an exploit?

People have been asking almost everyday for an unlock method in the Galaxy S4 forums for about 9 months now with no luck so unfortunately asking doesn't seem to get any better results

I don't know why but after I upgraded (OTA) to 4.4 my phone is now unlocked and S-Off. My contract was up a week earlier and I called regarding an unlock token but was told I needed to have a third party do it. Totally contrary to the Agreement the 4 majors had with the gov't in December over unlocking phones when contracts were up. So I'm just hanging out waiting for one of the resident masters to figure out a root.

If you're unlocked and s-off all you need to do is flash a recovery like TWRP and then flash a prerooted rom (most are pre rooted). It's the getting S-off part that many are still waiting to get figured out. You're free to flash away.

I'd be up for someone creating a general Q&A for this phone. It would have helped me quite a bit when I was just starting. I know enough to get one started but I'd feel better if I could get more experienced people contributing to it.

Ya, I think you can just flash a superuser.zip in recovery (you will need to flash a recovery first. Either TWRP or CWM...I prefer TWRP). It's been awhile, but I know it's not hard. There used to be a little tutorial in OP of the Rumrunner thread on how to gain root but I'm not sure if it's there anymore.

Just wanted wanted to see if you've had any issues since using sunshine to root your m7 (sense 6).
If an OTA comes through - do you simply flash stock recovery and take the OTA?
Thanks

Vzw(4.4.2) - s off without a pc?

I had to reactivate my m7 after my g2 took a hit fixing a door today.
I'm running 4.4.2 still and I was able to get root with weaksauce. I do not have a pc to run rumrunner like when I did a while ago.
Is there anything I can do besides paying for sunshine? I don't mind paying, but I figured with the older software there might be something that would work.
Anybody got any help im having an unusually difficult time finding a straight answer

Without a pc, the ONLY way is sunshine. Every other way involves pc, and 9 times outta 10, even WITH a pc, sun shines STILL all that'll work.

And the only way to do this is to pay 25$?

Right, definitely worth a shot since you're still on 4.4.2. I know firewater has been discontinued, so give rumrunner a shot. If not, go with sunshine. Saves alotta time n is just a 1-click method.

I was on 4.4.2 when I first went s-off using weaksauce/firewater without any problems. I know that OTA version had been patched for Rumrunner already and I was unable to use it. Maybe there is an older version of firewater out there? I'm sure that one of the later ones should work with 4.4.2 still since the OTA hasn't been applied to the OP's phone. It's strange that they would no longer even have the downloads for the older versions of it after discontinuing it...
OP, you really have absolutely no computer access to save the $25 for sunshine? You would still have to use one to flash TWRP and root anyway, even after getting s-off.

No version of Firewater Will work. It relied on an online resource server that has since been shut down. So even on the phones that Firewater WOULD'VE worked on, it won't anymore..

That's EXACTLY how I rooted mine back when I was on 4.4.2. Except I couldn't get Sunshines Temproot to stick so I used towelroot. But in a nutshell, yes your theory will work. Did for me and no problems half a year later...

In case I need to go that route.. Hope do you use towel root with the one? I thought it was unsupported?

That plan does make sense if your temp root with weaksauce works nicely with flashify. I have only used it to flash recoveries within a permanently rooted ROM so I have no idea if you might encounter problems using it when your root access is only temporary. Hopefully it works but a couple things you might want to consider are that flashing updated firmware still does require a PC. Maybe there is a Mac version of the android SDK where you can use the adb/fastboot commands, but unfortunately whenever the updated firmware from OTA versions get posted in these forums, they are not recovery flashable. The other thing is that the M7 doesn't have a secondary processor to handle wake gestures. There are custom kernels on here that have tap to wake and such, but they do tend to consume battery charge faster than without.

For D2W , etc. I'm using elementalx kernel, and not only is battery life better, but the screen wake gestures r more reliable than even on the m8. I've seen ppl complain about how they stop working on the m8, well I've been running Elemental x for half a year and no problems. As far as the Temp Root method with flashify , it's not really any more of a risk than if u used flashify on a Perm rooted device. Because even when u have temp root, u STILL have Root. Only difference is that on temp root, root is reinstalled on reboot. Like I said, I did it this way over half a year ago n no problem what so ever . Because I had no access to a pc either.

Also technically u CAN take an ota even after rooted and stuff, all without pc, the only issue will be getting root again. Just flash stock odex Rom, then use flashify to flash stock recovery back on, take ota, PROFIT..... BUT- if u do that, u run the risk of not being able to get root until u find a pc again because as we all know, Ota's remove root, n chances r , it'll b harder to gain temp root after an ota

Just flash stock odex Rom, then use flashify to flash stock recovery back on, take ota, PROFIT..... BUT- if u do that, u run the risk of not being able to get root until u find a pc again because as we all know, Ota's remove root, n chances r , it'll b harder to gain temp root after an ota

Doesn't taking the OTA with stock recovery/stock rom lock the bootloader back up?
Also which elementalx kernel are you using? I didn't see a new one for the newest stock version in the forum(maybe I just missed it) and their own web page doesn't specify if those kernels are for GSM, VZW or carrier agnostic.

Nope. U can lose root, but once u unlock your Bootloader and S-off, nothing can change that unless u manually re-lock and turn S-on again, (NOTE- ONCE S-OFF, NEVER TURN S BACK ON UNLESS FOR WARRANTY/RETURN PURPOSES AND NOT UNLESS U KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING)
