I originally started this topic with this:
I won't ask you: "Which ROM is best for me?" as I've done my little research and although I don't know much yet, I've already figured that each and every ROM is different and it is up to me to decide which ROM is right for me. So we are clear on this.
Here is my question:
Which ROM has as least as possible things pre-installed? I want a ROM where I won't have all those applications I am planning on replacing or never even goign to use. Like: Alarm Clock, Amazon MP3, Browser, Calculator, Calendar, Email, Voice Search and so on... You get the idea.
Any suggestions?
I am using HTC MyTouch 3G with AT&T carrier:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10

BUT I figured that I could as well just get some kind of application in order to get read of the pre-installed applications?! If there is such application (best if free, but if my best option is to pay for it then it is fine), then could you guys just tell it to me.
Why would you need to remove apps that you won't use just because you won't use them I mean...Browser...why would you remove it ? To regain space on /system? Well then we go for another question...why would you need more space on system partition ? Also removing some apps like Browser can disable some other apps that depend on them. You can of course do it really easily just by extracting the zip file, removing apps don't need, ziping all the files you extracted and then signing the zip file. But I still don't get it
Well all you have to do is before you wipe and flash the rom. Unzip it. Remove all the apps you dont want, then rezip and resign it. Then flash it. Simple yet effective

It is not even about the space they take mb-wise. They take up space in menu. I don't need Browser because I use Opera, I don't need an Alarm Clock because I am using another program for my alarms, and so on. Now that I have like 40 applications and half of them are the original 20 it is hard to navigate, hard to find them, and take a long time to do it too. You see what I mean?
It would even work if I could simply remove a shortcut out of the menu. I don't care for it staying installed in my phone. I just want it out of the menu.
I did and guess what - they loved me.
Advanced launcher does that - hides them from the menu.
Why don't you just put them on your home screens, order them nicely..use folders..

I got a reason to ask for what I am asking for. Trust me before I posted this topic I tried all ways to go around it!
Perfect application! Does what I need and more! Accept I am facing one problem. I created a couple of folders and I can't add shortcuts inside now... For example if I were to create a regular folder on home screen, then I would enter it and click on "menu" button and then click "add". Problem with the folders in the launcher is that when I enter them the "add" button is grayed out.
Any ideas?
...
Unzip the ROM, replace the Launcher.apk with Advanced Launcher's, sign and flash.
Or just download the 1.6 version from the market.

Nope... When I grab an icon and try to drop it in a folder my whole launcher is being moved as if I was scrolling it... and then if I grab and hold it long enough then that gets my launcher minimized and sends me to my home screen so that I can drop it on my home screen.

You could simply just move everything you want to see onto the home screen and ignore the rest by not bringing up the launcher.
Or you can use slidescreen pro, and set only your desired apps on the top 2 rows.
Sounds almost like you want Android: Preschool Edition.
you can remove apps with root explorer by browsing to the app folder and deleting them from there..
you can also delete them via terminal by these commands...
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/app/NAMEOFAPP
and replace NAMEOFAPP with the name of app you want to remove

I'm hoping this will be quite a simple mod, but does anyone know of a way of removing the Facebook ("f") icons that appear with a contact's Facebook photo?
It's kind of needless anyway, but if you have a contact as a quick link, with the 20 quick links mod the icon drops away from the photo due to the differing size and covers the start of the contact's name - it just generally doesn't look very good.
Any help appreciated!
Anyone have any ideas at all?
As you can see from the picture below it looks terrible and blocks the start of the name:

I wouldn't mind having the "f" icon disappear all the time, even on the main Contacts page, so if there's even a way of just deleting the icon's source that would be fine.
one more way
Just to dowload this pictures do device or card and in contact you can chose this picture without F... The is way, when you don't need modify something at all..

Have you turned off sense UI in home settings and then tried to delete file? and if the file does delete then turn sense UI back on.
I know its a long shot but it may work
Remember to make a backup just incase!

Save a transparent bmp (is that possible?) over that file. Cannot delete ROM files but can overwrite them. Also search registry for that location and delete or change to the locaiton of a transparent png.

I can't overwrite it either. I get an access is denied error.
Do you/anyone else know of a free PC-based registry editor that'll let me search?
Using CeRegistryEditor and can't find the filename in full. Now search for "fb" and the like and will see what I can find.
Also is there any way to actually save the contact pics into outlook. It seems that the pics only stays on he phone and the outlook is not updated after syncing.

It should "just work". I found that the pictures made their way into Outlook via normal synching. Proof of the pudding was when I re-flashed the device and the pictures all came back. How are you synching to Outlook? Over the air or via the device centre?
I too reflashed my device and the contacts were still linked to my facebook contacts. But the contact pictures on my outlook were never updated. Open your outlook to check. I also noted some tags placed by the device on the Notes of the contact. I think this is how the device is able to link outlook contact and facebook friend.
Btw i am using device center W7

I agree thats the only thing that is missing...I used to use spb mobile shell, on it you can put virtualy every short cut available
Anyway I agree and I personally would like more settings on the short cut
Still haven't how to do it and no more place on my 20 shortcuts on the home screen =(
I too would like to know if this possible, at the moment have to go through file explorer and so it would save a few taps!

Would be idea here too.
Plus it would save on using seperate links for all the individual games.
Maybe make a shortcut of a Folder and copy it into Programs in Startmenu!?
Just an idea!?
Works...
edit: But it just opens the File Explorer into the Folder!
that would be a good start, thanks funmacher, but then the link can't seem to be opened (Can't open file, not signed with a trusted certificate, etc...) =(

I posted this on another thread, it does seem to work
What so on the home screen, one of the 3 tabs is a like to the games folder? I found one way using resco explorer. Browse to windows/startmenu/programs and then hold your finger on the games folder till you get the menu pop up, select send to> start menu as shortcut. Then go to add a program on the home links and go to programs (instead of bookmarks or contacts) and the games folder will be there, the image will be the resco explorer image with the word games underneath it

Hi,
Dont mean to sound funny, but this thread is full of people saying "yeah me too"
Also do any of you know what the today screen is? because you cannot display a folder on the MS Today Screen.
You can on Titanium and And Sense but not MS Today!
If you put your effort into looking about you would easily find these things!

In which case why have you called the thread Shortcut to a folder on today's screen? as this is completely misleading, hence my post.
The Today Screen is when you go to "Settings/Home/Items" and remove all items. then you have the Today screen!

Hey dude i am not trying to be smart on here but i did not start the thread
I really really hate the mms app that comes with the Droid Incredible. It's slow, and clunky. I really don't even know how they allowed it to come with the phone. I wanted to uninstall it but was told it may interfere with the HTC stuff. Well.... I uninstalled the default mms.apk and installed the Vanilla mms.apk which is SOOOOOO much better then what HTC gives us. It's so smooth and I have the nice little green messaging icon I haven't had any issues so far.
SMS sent/received - TESTED
MMS sent/received - TESTED
Remember, what you do is at your own risk, I am not responsible for anything.
Be sure you make a nandroid backup, of course and root is required.
To mount \system folder:
1. Reboot into recovery mode (Power device down then hold power button + volume - or optical key instead of vol -)
2. choose partitions
3. choose mount \system
Navigate to C:\sdk\Tools in a windows command prompt
adb shell /system/bin/rm /system/app/Mms.apk <<<<<<<<<<<< File name must match file.
Remount system when complete and reboot.
Attached file is the Vanilla mms.apk, install it when you reboot your phone.
All text messages should be saved, FB integration is still there.
Side note, with the stock mms.apk removed you can use just Handcent for SMS, but MMS won't work.

gonna try this soon!
Just mounted my system and tried typing out the command, says directory doesn't exist? but the system wasn't showing up as accessible via My computer (was there, but when i clicked it, asked me to insert disk(x:/) ). Odd, I just opened my system to put in some new audio sounds about 10 min ago and it worked fine.
Edit: Needed to capitalize the M in Mms.apk, forgot it was case sensitive

Quick question. You said "Side note, with the stock mms.apk removed you can use just Handcent for SMS, but MMS won't work." Does MMS work in the Vanilla messaging app though? I realize it says "MMS sent/received - TESTED" but it doesn't say that it works, just that it has been tested.

And yes, MMS/SMS in vanilla works.
definitely nicer, but settings problem
thanks, gave it a shot. I agree, the interface is much nicer.
However-- settings don't stick after a reboot (e.g., notification settings, retrieve while roaming)
Can this be fixed?

Installed the update. Still not working, only now it is worse than before.
It still wouldn't allow me to switch apps, it still didn't launch on phone boot up, but now the update prevented me from being able to install apps from the Amazon App Store. I'd hit the install button after the app had downloaded, but it wouldn't register the button press. I could hit the cancel button though just fine. Play Market apps installed just fine. As soon as I Force Stop Fast5, I cold install apps from Amazon just fine.
Very weird. It works perfectly on my device (SGS2) and my friends devices and all emulator devices (2.1+) and i do not get other complains... what's going on?
Have you installed custom rom or something? Do you see all 5 icons? After pressing nothing happens? Or an error?
I would understand if you'd get some errors, but if it's not booting with the device? There is no way it won't boot at normal device configuration...
Thank you for you cooperation!
Have a look...:
see it in action
I think it's isolated issue but I'll try to fix it for you if you'd like to use this app . Wain for report (if you sent it)
Works fine for me. Absolutely perfect!

Yep it's a switcher. Will change topic name, sorry. But it works fine for you, right?
It works now on ICS too. There should be a new version active on the market within 1 hour (as always). There was one issue. Fixed.
I will test it. Great job
Edit: "error process buy" say my market
Defy > Defy+
Sorry my bad english
Error process buy? Lol... it's free. Did you try do it from the PC? Market kinda buggy thing. Thanks!
I had no problems with installation nor application so does my friends .
Updated version has been released. Should be working fine for everyone, regardless of Android version (2.1 +).
Try it
the update fixed task-clicking on ICS
- could you please add #111111 as an background color option? that's the color used by android for notification backgrounds
- when opening notification area the icons reorder after like 1-2 seconds. I guess that's because the app isn't running in bg permanently but it's still quite annoying, especially when you're just about to hit one of the icons and then it gets replaced with a adifferent one
- is it possible to have more than 5 apps? (yeah yeah, then the name wouldn't make sense anymore, but...) there's so much whitespace between the icons, it'd well fit 7 of them
Sure. No problem. Download an updated version (should appear on the market within one hour) and tell me if you'd like something more. Everyone else too . I'll see what i can do.
As for 7 icons instead of standard 5 on really large screens: could you please send me an email or post me here if you don't mind everyone looking how do it looks on your screen?
Thanks!
thanks for adding ICS color.
for large screen: just turn your phone 90° to widescreen and you can see it for yourself
any idea about the slow updating?
Check out the newest update (v 1.08). Tick a checkbox in preferences, restart an app and see if that fits your needs . As for more than 5 icons - i'll figure it out if you want to
Cheers!
seems good so far. will report back after some more usetime when it's got a bit more to do than show low-memory-apps what does the checkbox do? start a persistant service?
could you please close the notification bar when selecting an app? always makes me think the click wasn't registered.
No, it just shortens update time . Don't worry if it works right . As for notification: will put an option to do so shortly.
Cheers!
This app blocks the 3rd Party App Install on my device (Motorola Defy). You can still press the cancel button, but the install button has no function.
Tested it on a custom CM7 Version and on a Official CM7 Version(with fullwipe).

SEARCH EVRYTHING
Hey guys,
Iv'e published my new app for android power users who have lots of files on their device and want easy access to them. It's called Search Everything. It's a file search app that scans your file system and indexes it. Then filters the list by your search term. The result is a fast almost instant results. It operates much like the program "Everything" on windows.
Google Play Link:

Would like to hear some feedback
I'd really love to use this app full time but it does not list any files on my external SD (/storage/sdcard1).
Also, a few basic optinos like show/hide hidden files or garbage files from cache folders.
On the plus side, I really love the sheer speed and i like the color and simple interface design.
Hope there's an update sooon!
Good work, thanks much!

Looks great but could you add option to show files thumbnails?
Great app, fast and smooth search but it did not index my external SD card. Couldn't find any thing in my SD card.

Gets force close at every startup. Running stock rom 4.4.4 franco kernel
Great app very fast any plans for root and website searches?
Quick and simple, but on open containing folder rootexplorer 2.x opens the default home directory instead..
The app works great- just like Everything
I've got a suggestion- it would be great if you could make a widget like google's quick search bar, or an app "in" the notification bar (like Notable).
And if it could search apps too.
I know it's a lot- but it's just to get you thinking if you want to add something (the app works great as it is, for me)

LOL you beat me to it. I was gonna suggest the same.
This app is great! Exactly what I have been searching for for a long time! Here are a few more suggestions:
Option to exclude specific locations from being indexed/searched.
Option to launch the app by pressing the search capacitive button, instead of the default google search app.
EDIT: forgot to mention the reason to exclude specific locations - don't really need the gallery thumbnail files in search, do we?
And what about searching/launching apps? Possible? Planned?
Great app, great work
I have now installed this app on my Nexus 7(2013), Nexus 5, and a Motto E and it works amazingly well.
I have been using ES File explorer since I did my first Android device root about 5 years ago and it has been my goto method of searching my devices ever since. But, as anyone who has done this knows it is painfully slow.
Your app has finally changed that and I could not be more grateful.
Thank you for all of your work it is greatly appreciated!
FC while indexing
Fantastic idea. 'Everything' on the PC is so useful, and this is no different. I don't need it to be able to open or view a file, just find where it is, that's been the painfull part upto now.
I do however get PC's every time during indexing, once it gets to around 32K+ files.

This would be a great feat, but imo, only if the search-speed isn't affected

I'm again worried about speed, but if you are looking for a fast and easy way to launch apps you could try App Dialer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=name.pilgr.appdialer
