Hi everyone,
a couple of weeks ago I had to send my One S in for repair, as the soft keys (back/home/recent apps) were absolutely unresponsive (slightly off topic, but: this happened after I used the phone as a car GPS on a 13h road trip. Could this have caused it or was that just coincidence?).
Once I got it back, I re-rooted it and restored everything (system apps and data included) from a backup made shortly before I sent it in (using Titanium Backup). That, however, made my phone lose all push message capabilities, so I emptied the user and system app cache and deleted all user and system app data, which brought push capabilities back to life again. Yet, ever since then, the quick start icons (phone/sms/e-mail/camera) aren't showing up on my lock screen anymore and when I try changing background images in HTC's Personalization app, there are no images to chose from.
I'd like to try fixing this by restoring individual app data in Titanium Backup, but I wouldn't know which apps would be of interest here. Could anyone help me out with this?
Cheers,
uø
I just now figured out that a lot of bloatware can be disabled through the app management section in settings. After rooting and going s-off, I found that titanium backup has those apps listed as frozen. I was just curious if it's essentially doing the same thing as titanium backup as far as freezing is concerned?
Thanks in advance.
i do see that too - freezing in TiBu marks them as disabled in the app settings, but system apps have the disable button greyed out, so you need TiBu. I checked a few system apps i hadn't frozen and i couldn't disable them.
Last I heard autoprime managed to root the xt1028, but I haven't seen any news as of yet.
As far as I know, the only root method that works on 4.4.4 is kingoroot apk, which only grants temp root and may cause the launchers to close unexpectedly.
Anyone seen anything in the wild?
Edit-
Nova launcher and home launcher crashed
android.process.acore crashed
android.process.media crashed
Their version of superuser also crashes

Everything crashes with the apk. I installed a different launcher and fixed that problem, but Titanium Backup, all the google apps (Play Store, Hangouts, Gmail, etc.), and even the phone app crash, basically all I can do is power off.
I'm using the 1.3.8 version of the Windows software, and that works fine. I'd like to find a standalone way to temp root, then I'd be comfortable installing busybox, xposed, an app to soft reboot, etc. Bonus if it'd use supersu instead of some custom solution.
Of course, what I REALLY want is a permanent root.
Hrm, I wonder if there would be a way to do a soft root on bootup. You'd need to be able to cancel just in case it messed things up.

I mean, obviously it's possible somehow or another because autoprime did it
I can't figure it out myself though

My G Flex 2 is rooted and I have uninstalled or frozen all of the AT&T and quite a few of the LG apps that were present on the phone. I followed a 'safe to freeze' list I found online and the phone is running perfectly, battery life is stellar.
I did notice though that I can no longer automatically answer the phone by bringing it up to my ear. I checked the Gestures section and found some missing options (see screenshot). What could cause this? Did I disable something I shouldn't have?
I've tried to find an 'Answer Me' APK online so I can simply reinstall this feature but was unsuccessful. Might anyone either have the APK to share or guide me in unfreezing something that I froze in error?
Thanks folks
The answer me app has a red phone icon, it should be at the top of Titanium backup's list, so it's pretty hard to miss...If it's not there because you uninstalled it, you could just reflash the system image for your version...
Hi all,
I've been a long time user of Titatium Backup but having moved to a more stock based rom i've just started using it to freeze bloatware apps. The apps i freeze are showing up in application manager as disabled so i assumed all was working as it should. However if i click on one of the disabled apps in application manager it gives me the option to "force stop" the app (the button is not greyed out like i would have expected with it being frozen). This is true even after a reboot.
Is this how it should be??
Thanks!:good:
