So is this?

Noticed today these popped up in the /cache of my phone, wouldnt the update be d/l to this location? no idea what they are could they part of a OTA they are starting to push?
Maybe nothing but figured i'd share just in case it is. how big would the update be you guys think?
I'm running Stock 2.1 rooted

What browser are you using? Have you downloaded any apps with your browser? I seem to remember having the same, maybe when I was using Xscope.....

You know, I got those same things. I didn't think twice and just deleted them. I wonder. . .

lol those are leftovers from downloading through any browser. i get those in my downloads folder whenever i downloading something through my phone's internet. You will know when you get the official OTA. nothing will happen to your phone unless you get the pop-up saying there is an OTA available and ask if you would like to download and install it.

Just using the stock browser, have not downloaded anything in quite a while, defanitly not on the 30th?
I though about deleting them but figured i'd ask, besides if they were cache'd data from a browser download why would they be packaged?
Not saying i have something but just found it peculiar they are all packaged and in the root cache where a ota would show up right?
Looks like one is missing ?

OTA doesnt download anything until you approve it.

I believe it actually downloads the OTA and stores in cache before it prompts you. Don't quote me though, I've been wrong before lol

i did the 2.0.1 to 2.1 update on my wife's droid, it didnt download anything until after you approved to do the update. you can also see with the EVO froyo updates, it asks if you want to update over 4g/mobile/wifi or just wifi.

I had no idea what it was but I though maybe they were incrementally pushing pieces or something, I'm new to android, I figured it would probably be nothing but didnt want to delete something that could help someone.
If you think about it, if they pushed a few small pieces to your cache and the the last piece could parse it all and install it wouldnt that save alot of bandwidth for them? or at least even the load? Thats what made me ponder what it was. I'm sure its not browser cache or it wouldnt be a .apk it would probably be a sql db wouldnt it?
I tried to copy them to the root of my sd card but it wouldnt let me for whatever reasonthrough root explorer. maybe i'll copy them out over adb and extract the .apk just to see whats in it, That should tell me.
Anyway figured some other insight would be nice.

I thought someone from Unrevoked said on twitter to the evo users if you get the ota message to upgrade dont do it and the upgrade file would be stored it the root cache? heck iono i've slept since then.

I believe those are failed or canceled .apk downloads.

Why don't you just copy them to your pc and take a peak inside the apk with 7zip?

Can anyone show a list of useless apps of T-mobile USA DEFY？

Hi guys, first I am really happy to see a DEFY section in XDA ！
Well, there are many apps in Tmo(usa) defy, I have rooted it by using Z4 root.
Can anyone show a list of useless apps that I can safely remove ?
Thx a lot!

Here's a screen cap of my removed apps folder. I've had no problems at all since removing all these apps.

If anyone knew what all of them did that would be excellent. Not sure I'd want to remove 'Browser' before knowing what exactly it is it browses.

Damn that's alot!!

Thanx for the list. I would like to clean up as well, but like to first know what certain packages do, especially as I have not seen them popping up anywhere:
ArcPhotoworkshop
ArcVideoEditor
esmusica
This Kodak Perfect Touch thingy
hiphopofficial
revolver
truecountry
Is there a good way to find out which packages depend on other packages and/or services ?

all of them - use asop 2.2 custom rom

How to reinstall them?
If I uninstalled them via Titanium backup. I made a backup before uninstalling them but if I try to reinstall for example: Wi fi calling.apk via titanium backup nothing happens.
I already wiped the phone but the apps are not there anymore. How can I restore them?

You do realize you're in the Defy forum and there's no such thing?

can you tell us how you removed all those apps once the phone is rooted? Can't seem to find anything on removing the bloat... just lists of what people have removed.
Thanks

This^
I thought I had it figured out but alas I still stomped.

You'll need to install a File manager that can access root directories and then delete the APKs using that.
The most popular one is Root Explorer. Try searching for it in Market.

Red "F"

I dont know how, but a red F has appeared at my screen, and dont know how to removed it, has anyone had the same problem? any idea how to remove it? (is it a malware/virus? is it from an application ?)

Never saw something like this. Did it occur out of the blue or after flashing a ROM?
(judging from your non-stock battery icon I take assume you're on a custom ROM)

it just appeared, also i did a full clean new rom flash(wiped everything), but i restored my data (only the data from my apps/apk) and when someone called me,it appeared again,its weird

In that case I don't have any advice I'm afraid. I even googled it because I never saw something like it, doesn't yield any useful info. Could be some samsung driver causing Android to display this red f, but that's just speculation.
If it remains, I'd return to factory images, relock the bootloader and claim warranty.

yeah, i googled it too,and couldnt find a single post, the only reasonably thing is that it may be a virus or something, and it came back with the data restore, i cant think of something else, thank you for your time though

you have an app doing that.

Try going through each of your backed up apps, to see if you can find the app that's causing this.

i killed each running app in the backround, and i found it, its an app named "Android lost" , never had a problem with it, dont know why it just happended (also it had long to time to do an update, so to say that was something in the update)
weird.

Glad you got it sorted out.

[Help] LG G4 Update and root things

Hey i just bought an lg g4. And it's something weird about it. Its an h815 version. The imei, the serie and the numbers are the same as the box, nothing weird. BUT the phone is alredy rooted. From fabric? Its rare. But thats not the problem. The problem is it has 5.1 and i want the update to 6. I checked ota and nothing. So i want to make an update from lg bridge from pc. But ITS ROOTED and i read it can make troubles. So i unrooted the phone with supersu and then i uninstalled it. I download rootchecker and the app say the phone is not root anymore. But SuperSu app still appearing in the system apps list. I try to make theorys. But nothing makes sense. I dont wanna ask if its weird because it is. The question is if i could install the update without risks.
Extra information: when i open the supersu app it says that the binaries need an update but couldn't download it.
If its usefull i upload a screenshot of the software info
Sorry for my english im not a native speaker

download LGUP install in computer
find out wich variant you have and download the corresponding KDZ. that you need to find out.
KDZ's should be there in LGUP link where it says OTHER GREAT THREADS TO HELP YOU storagecow has KDZ files
just read each step carefully.

Looks like the apps are in product/app and product/priv-app now. Maybe you can delete them from there, restart and have them be gone
