Ok I figured out how to delete the ATT bloatware off the Captivate using Titanium Backup. But how do I reinstall it? I only deleted 'ATT Family Maps' for now until I can figure out how to reinstall things, incase I have a problem later and need to go back to ATT. I clicked 'backup' before i deleted it. But I don't know what buttons to press to get stuff back from the backup.

I flashed to the Cognition Froyo, phone is rooted. Installed Titanium Backup but can't find the icon anywhere. It says installed but nowhere to be found. I've uninstalled and installed again. Also restarted and no luck...

I have backed up before with Titanium and it worked. I reinstalled Busybox, didn't help. If i uninstall and reinstall will i lose all the things i did like freeze apps etc ? When i try to update through the marketplace it says installation error, package file was not signed correctly.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently rooted my galaxy s4 i337 and I heard about deleting bloatware so I was like, "hey that sounds cool!"
Sadly I did not realize the effects that deleting those files could cause to the device... I have factory reset my phone at least 5 times hopping that the deleted files would come back.... but they did not.
My problems are that whenever I pull up s-voice, I comes up with a message saying, "Unfortunately, S-voice has stopped working". I tried re-installing it with files I found from this site but then it started saying that I could not connect to the network so that was a dead end. I also have messages when I do various tasks says, "Unfortunately, Samsung text-to-voice engine has stopped."
I change my main language text to voice thing to google instead of samsung and that worked a little, but I still get the occasional message and s voice is completely broken. I saw that re installing chat on could work and i downloaded it because I think I may have deleted it, but it made absolutely 0 difference...
When I open titanium backup it prompts me to "go to phones settings, then in "applications" and tick the "unknown sources" checkbox. ok I dont have one. I tried to restore apps anyway and I got "your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from andriod".

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to backup using TB after the SRE I get a Warning that reads;
Your system settings will prevent you from restoring applications. To correct this, go to your phone's Settings, then in "Applications" and tick the "Unknown Sources" checkbox.
There is no such option....
When I run batch restore I get an "Install Blocked' message.
I get; For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in Android market.
What is happening here?

View 10 Replies View RelatedLast night I donated and am just waiting for the paid version now, but I have a couple of questions:
1. What exactly is "freezing" an app? Will it remove the app from the app drawer? Will it just prevent it from running?
2. Can I use Titanium backup to delete apps that are safe for delete like amazon.mp3, etc?
3. If I "freeze" an app like backup assistant will it still be on the phone so that it doesn't brick if I do a reset?
4. Can I delete or freeze things like crap ringtones so they don't show up when I am setting a ringtone?
I'd like to only use dropbox for my backups to save space on my nexus 4. how can i go about deleting my local backups yet still keeping my cloud ones and not having them erased my next sync?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI rooted my Captivate tonight and I know how the superuser icon with android skull and crossbones. However neither Super Manager or ASTRO will allow me to uninstall the crap ware on my phone. Is there something I'm missing? I followed all the steps at XDA. So far I've tried to remove YPMobile, ATT Navigator, and ATT Maps. Any suggestions? I tried searching this on google and this forum but didn't come up with anything.
View 8 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to remove some of the Sprint Bloatware without rooting the phone. I know some of those apps Sprint probably sold their soul to have on the phone but some of it is just trash. I'm not looking to clear up memory or any performance improvements. I just want to do some house cleaning of junk that I will NEVER use. I was hoping for maybe an unlock code or something simpler then the root/rom way to go. I'm very satisfied with the way things are working now but some of that garbage has got to go. I know junk is standard bill of fare on new computers but you can go through and systematically delete the garbage but I'm a little offended to have something that I bought and paid for and can't even clear out the junk and personalize it to my taste.

1. Will rooting let me get rid of any bloatware? Or touchwiz?
2. I hear that rooting on this isn't "true" rooting. What does this mean, will it eventualy be "true", and what apps will this prevent me from running
My phone keeps shuting off and its getting old but my gps seems to work fine. I rooted the phone and removed atts bloatware, i need to return it for another captivate. How do i get atts bloatware back or does it even matter?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI checked my data usage at the AT&T web site and found that the phone was sending lots of data on its own. One night while sitting on the counter it sent over 19 megabytes at 2:41 am. For 4 nights in a row a data transmission ocurred at this exact time. Following are excerpts from my bill: Code...
View 22 Replies View RelatedI've rooted my phone and used TitaniumBackup to remove the AT&T bloatware. I've also configured it for sideloading apps so I could load the SiriusXM app from their website. Of course - now I can't get the OTA update. I just get the error where it says it's downloading, restarts the phone, says it's installing then reboots the phone again and says the update failed.
Maybe the OTA update is trying to update one of the bloatware apps and that's why it's failing? Or would removing the Superuser app (unrooting) and Busybox be enough to get the update?
Either way - because I deleted the apps using TitaniumBackup I have no backup (I know, I'm an idiot). I thought I did a TB backup before removing the apps but I have no idea where to look to restore them. They aren't listed in the app list when I click on Backup/Restore.
When custom roms come out for the Captivate will this be able to make it where it is bloatfree from AT&T and have custom things being able to add any apk app without doing the sideloading stuff ect? I am wondering if custom ROMs will make it where we can do whatever we want without AT&T restrictions.

I installed the free antivirus on my Samsung Captivate and noticed the message, "this phone belongs to: protected by antivirus". I deleted it and uninstalled it and turned off and on my phone 2-3 times. It is still not going away? What am I doing wrong? Also can someone give me any other method to delete this?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI successfully rooted my phone tonight. No problems there.
I successfully installed the Epic Experience v1.1.10 ROM. Everything seems to have installed properly.
All seems to be well, so I went to install Titanium Backup to restore all of my apps from my stock Epic. The installation went fine. I try to run the app for the first time, and I get the following error: "Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again".
So I know that my root included BusyBox, because I was able to install and run it on the stock ROM. But just for kicks, I clicked "Problems?" and downloaded the version it says will work. No difference.
I have rebooted the phone several times. Makes no difference.
I have deleted and re-installed Titanium Backup. Makes no difference.
I can't figure out how to back up all my apps and data with it?
I even downloaded the busy box like it said to do but still I can't seem to find a way to get to the actual backing up process. Is this compatible with My current root?
I have connectbot also, but forgot what to type in there to find out if I am rooted correctly. I do have livewallpapers.
I rooted my Droid X yesterday, used Titanium Backup to backup all apps + system data, reset to factory defaults (still rooted it seems), then tried to restore the bloatware apps. Now the bloatware wont reinstall from Titanium, but regular apps do. Am I missing something or will this take a bit of work to get these bloatware apps back on so I can get to 2.2? Can it be done with Astro FIle Manager? I don't see how to set permissions.

Check This Tool Out I Found! Android is Getting Convenient
Droid Explorer is a tool to manage your rooted android device with the simplicity of Windows Explorer. You can browse every file on your Android device, much like the infamous app "Root Explorer" does. I think this is very much so a handy tool for those that are in need of removing some software....like the bloatware that comes preintalled. Some of you may even want to add stuff, like Google Maps and so on. Try it out!!
I highly recommend standalone for Windows users.....

I have a new quad-core phone with android 4.2.1, that is now useless. It can not boot, it freeze at second bootlogo, before animation.It is rooted, and i have made some changes to build.prop. It worked fine, but after some time i realized the gallery and camera app was gone.
Then i did following:
Installed updated standard gallery+camera apk found online, both in the same app. from here [URL] Works great, but i wanted to make it a system app, so did that with titanium backup.After that, the camera app is gone. Gallery app is still working.So i tried to change it back to user app, again with titanium, but did not stop working. After some time i took out the battery.Now it freeze before boot animation.
I tried "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition", in system recovery but still not booting!
I tried to backup user data from another phone, same model, and restore on this one but says "Error: checksum compare fail".
Do i need to flash a new rom to the phone with my pc? I have not tried this before, and i want to keep stock rom.I have read this page:
[URL]
But i can not get it in download mode, with those hotkeys?
i have access to other working phones of the same model.
is it safe to uninstall titanium backup from my phone? i already can backup my phone through backup when i boot into recovery. is it necessary therefore to have?
