Due to switching roms constantly and data wiping (i always like to start fresh, even without switching roms sometimes) there is always a lot to add back, some things which are tedious
basically i want to know if it would be a hassle to make an app do this:
add all the settings to set up my email
set up passwords for wifi networks i use a lot (home networks)
and a big one, install a certificate and set up the wifi to use on campus
my background:
outside of Matlab and Mathematica i know nothing about programming (if you can even consider those real programming languages?)
ive been interested in learning to program, mainly to accomplish personal tasks like these
would this be too 'difficult' to go after and tackle, where to start?
would the google appcreater be able to do something like this?
thanks =D
Titanium. Use it, Luke.

I agree. It saves emails. Best still to use k-9 as it saves that too. Just buy it as restoring in unpaid version is a pain in the ass

This is to get a understanding to what people do with their android devices. This is also another way to express what we do that some people are not aware of (ex:video streaming,etc). Maybe open up paths for others that may just use their devices to just browse internet and play angry birls. Just feel free to enlighten the forums with what "special" apps that without,you couldn't live with. Thanks and god bless

I use gmail, twitter/fb/reddit, engadget, tapatalk, andchat, various weather/clock widgets,
Either play music locally with winamp or stream with last.fm
I'm currently experiemting with the app called Tasker. Right now i have it set to for when on wifi, turn auto sync on and turn mobile data off. When i turn off wifi it automatically enables mobile data and turns auto sync off. There's so much more that this app can do it's well worth the money. (Takes a bit of learning but well worth it) Cause im forgetful when it comes to turning auto sync on/off when on mobile data/wifi. Currently gonna try setting up gps to turn on when i open google maps/navigator and turn off when closing them.
Here's the market link for those interested.

I just browse the internet and play angry birds.
Mine is used as a complete mobile office. I receive email and faxes via email in the morning. The faxes come in as tiffs so I use tiff2pdf to convert them. Then I use printer share to print them out at the office printer 20 miles away or on the home wireless printer.some of the docs must be filled out, signed and returned, so I use camscanner to take a pic of the form and can send it back via email. If the recipient needs a fax,i use pamfax to send it from the phone as a fax. I also send all these files to drop box so everyone in the office has all these files and all the computers I use throughout the day all have what I need.
I also use the map software to get miles and rates for people. My main office programs are:
Thinkfreeoffice, docstogo, officesuitepro and quickoffice adobe reader and fast image viewer.
If my phone can't handle it, I will use wireless tether to hook up the laptop to the internet, but honestly, the laptop is getting a bit dusty lately
My old tilt 2 was pretty good at all this stuff, but was much slower and couldn't handle all the above so a computer was necessary when traveling. With this inspire and the android revolution rom I'm in my glory! Exactly what I needed.

I use quickoffice to write my term papers and email them to myself. I love to use my video chat from Google to say hey to my gf wwhile I'm out and about. I use current widget to kill battery time in half. I love how I can be on phone with my dad and bring up Google maps to help him find a location. I use movie stream to watch a movie or so while on lunch at work. I use frame grabber to watch a movie and capture a certain image out of the video. Very awesome app. Ill use Justin.TV or ustream to watch the mavs in play offs or watch ufc. Videotofacebook is a helpful tool to upload straight to your account.alot more as well

It's about time! The iPhone has had this for ages. It's free, works on 3G, you don't even need to sign up to anything, automatically checks phonebook to see who has Viber installed, and you can call and send text messages over the interweb instead of using your cell providers minutes/text allowance. You can even tell your android to set it as your default dialer! It'll also work cross-platform so any people you know with iPhones, tell them about this (but I suspect they already know all about it).
It's in Beta so is not on the marketplace yet, but it's got millions of iPhone users so it's trust-worthy. Get it from here...

Follow the instructions (you need to tell your phone to accept installs from outside the market first) and check it out!
What do you think?

Here is a complete list of bloatware that is 100% safe to remove.

I have tested and confirmed that these are safe to remove. I also did multiple factory reses with zero issues. Now go out and remove all that bloatware.
I am not responsible for anything that you choose to do to your device. This is just a guide nothing more. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I am just dumb founded by the amount of bull sh*t in the stock Rom. The amount of bloatware in this should be against the law. I will tell you this much. Once i removed this junk my phone is much snappier. Have fun with it guys. Always do a nandroid before removing anything.

I'd like to add SWM-C to the list. I have no idea what it does, but I didn't need it running, so I trashed it.
You can also add "Tmobile Name ID" to the list if you don't use or want T-Mobile's for-pay Caller ID service.
ECID.apk is T-Mobile name id.

How do I remove these app

Root explorer, ES File Mgr, or System app remover. All apps in the Android market.

While we're at it, you can look Here to see some others that have been found to be safe to remove.
I personally keep some of the ones on both of these threads, but that doesn't mean they can't be removed.
Also, i've removed the genius app and had no troubles with the system running fine.
Can someone teach me how to remove latitude and car home, while keeping maps?
Car home is dockpanel.apk.

This list I made does not affect the full functionality of the stock ROM. You can remove other stuff BUT you WILL get FCs to vital system files. Stick with this list. I'm much more conservative then that guy you linked me to. But I will add dockpanel.apk. thanx

Much appreciated. Wasn't sure what dockpanel was, and hadn't gotten to axing that one yet in testing.
I guess that means i'm stuck with latitude, since I need Google Maps, but since carhome isn't "supposed" to work with our device according to Google, once it's gone it's toast.
I mentioned earlier that I un-installed the Genius app, tossing carhome gets rid of the rest of that silly talk stuff I can't stand. It's a danged touch device for a reason...lol.
I realize different things work for different people - my buddy loves the talking to it to make it do stuff, just not my thing.
But I need Maps because the feature of emailing places to people has become invaluable in a business sense for me.
We all use Maps, and as people need to be places we just email locations back and forth - someone simply clicks the link in their email and it plots it on the map, and then Navigation automatically computes driving directions.
Auto-sync with email notifies of the new location ready to be input, and you can share the location right from starting in the Maps app itself. When a person gets a new location to go to, they send that and their current to payroll - and their mileage is logged and compensation is computed before they even get to where they are going.
Score a point for Google making my work life much, much easier, and streamlining taxes and payroll.
Edit - i'm the guy I linked you to - another lol.
That thread was a group effort we undertook here to find out what all you could get rid of and still have the system run right. On my working install I use in my day-to-day on the phone, I have a lot of the apps I mentioned were safe to remove in the thread I linked to.
When we first got root on these phones, the day revolutionary was released, it was an all-out delete-fest to figure out what could be safely removed. Some people went ahead and froze things, others went ahead and just uninstalled them. By comparing notes and tinkering with it, we figured out most of what we could toss safely.
Like I said, I use some of the things mentioned to be deleted - but the focus of the thread was what could be removed, and not what personal preferences were.
When i'm doing all my GPS / A-GPS testing, for instance, I restore to my original CWM backup I made right after root and do all my testing with all the stock apps installed. I don't want to contaminate any of the tests by running a custom tweaked install, the only thing i'm trying to tweak in that instance is the GPS stuff i'm working with at the moment. I'm also trying to replicate the environment someone will be in out-of-the-box (or as close as can be since the phone is rooted with CWM installed).
Don't think that I run my phone on the daily with nothing on it - that would be silly and kinda pointless to have a smart phone that didn't do anything. But in the interest of discovery, you kinda have to go beyond what you're happy with to figure it all out. (or at least that makes the most sense to me)
Having tested software for a living for a while...just the habits I got into. Another reason why I go so overboard on backups. You should see all the CWM backups I have stored of this phone in different states.
Just wanted to clear up any confusion, in case you thought I was crazy about trying to rip everything out of the phone indiscriminately - there is a method to the madness (...or is it a madness to the method? Can never tell... )
The things listed that you can delete in the other thread are a pick-and-choose option, you don't have to remove them all.
Using ES File Explorer...
Can't seem to delete anything .... says that it can't be deleted.
Do we need to be S-Off first?
If so, how do we S-Off for Mac users?
There isn't too much clear detailed info for Mac users...frustrating..

There is no Mac version of the Revolutionary S-OFF method. You either have to (A) install Linux, configure it properly and run the Linux version of Revolutionary or (B) install Windows, configure it properly and run the Windows version of Revolutionary.
Your only other option is to wait patiently for HTC to provide a bootloader unlocker for this device which may or may not ever happen. They've released it for the T-Mobile Sensation, but that's a pure HTC phone and not a T-Mobile-branded myTouch model.
I've used Revolutionary on Windows and Linux and both methods are fairly straightforward. You just need to know what you're doing -- if you don't, you probably shouldn't be trying to attain S-OFF in the first place. Just use the permanent temp-root.
maps keeps automatically running in the background of my gf's phone. Is there anyway to stop it from autostarting? I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it as noted in another post elsewhere in this forum.
Thanks.
dockpanel.apk is htcs version of Google's car home. And yes Google's car home works fine on our device. I'm running it with no major issues. I updated op accordingly.

Yes go into settings......applications......running services........find maps.apk.......press it.........then press force stop.......then press clear data. You will need to do this each time with Google maps. It is a battery leech if it runs in the background. Hope this helps

In another thread here, someone also found out that by un-installing the stock Google maps version, then re-downloading it from the market, you solve the problem of it running in the background all the time. Check the battery threads to find the specific posting, I forget which one it was in.
Glad to see we are coming up with all the little details here, everyone has a different approach to solving the problems we come across on this phone. Everyone sharing what they know here is starting to paint a pretty good picture of the whole situation - good job everyone!
(Yep, I know car home works on the device, but once you remove it you won't be able to re-download it from the market because Google has it listed as not working for this phone, so it will block the download - thanks for confirming from another phone that it is indeed working though.)
Exactly.
I'm still trying to break this phone wide open.

Does anyone know what is DoubleshotZipgroup or DoubleshotAndroidZipgroup? Is it safe to remove?
I rooted my htc sensation ..reccently .....is der any way to limit the gprs usuage to specific applications?
If you mean to limit certain applications from using the internet, then the only way you can do that is by using the Application Permission Management feature on CM7 and crossing out the app's internet permission.
If what you mean is to limit specific apps to only use the 2G network, then I'm not aware of an efficient way to do that. All I could think of is using an app like Tasker to change your mobile network settings to the 2G setting when you open whatever app it is, but that would slow your phone down further while it switches between connection settings.
is there any other custom rom for the same or insertcoin add on file??
Hey thanks after lot of searching finally found out driodwall to restrict gprs use..
Anyways thanks a lot am looking forward for cm7 though..
