I deleted ATT Navigator etc. I don't really remember, but I did make a backup.
I forgot the program that lets you access root from computer, and I don't know where the backup files are (SGS Tools default).
How would you get the backup to load up? Please help me
In sgs tools there is an option to restore backups

I can access apps that are already running on "Ongoing" by clicking on them, but I cannot access application page.
Everything is running, but I just can't open them, because I cannot access application page to run SGS Tools.
Can you use the search key to search for SGS tools? It should come up under applications if it is installed.

I hope this how to guide is helpful. Yes it is not all about the AT&T crap, it also removes the horrible touchwiz launcher.
NOTE THERE IS A MUCH MORE DETAILED GUIDE HERE
1. Install a launcher substitute.
Personally, I prefer launcher pro, so that is the one I will be talking about in this step. You can pick this app up for free from the android market.
This launcher completely replaces your home screens and your application drawer with something more stock android like. It has several improvements over the actual stock android launcher also, so I would recommend it for any phone, not just TouchWiz phones.
CAUTION FROM THIS POINT ON YOU THINGS COULD (although unlikely) GO WRONG. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED IN ANY PART OF THIS TUTORIAL.
2. Root your phone
Note that this does void your warrenty and prevent returning of your phone. All that aside it is relatively easy.
2a. Download the following root update at: mediafire.com/download.php?eilzbhfl73rij1v
2b. DO NOT UNZIP THIS FILE. Instead, rename it update.zip
2c. Mount your phones internal storage to you computer. If you are on a mac, that may require enable debugging mode in the application settings menu. If you are on a PC it requires the Samsung Captivate drivers forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
2d. Copy the drivers to your phones internal storage and unmount and unplug your phone.
2e. Turn your phone off.
2f. Turn your phone on by pressing volume up and down while pressing the power button.
2g. Use volume up and down to select reinstall packages and then press the power button. Allow it to update.
2h. Once you reboot, your phone should be rooted.
3. Uninstall the bloatware.
3a.Download Titanium Backup from the Market
3b. Make sure your sd card is mounted to your phone (not your PC)
3c. Once it is installed install the busybox version they prompt you to.
3d. Press the Backup/Restore tab (if not already pressed).
3e. Find any of the following applications that you want to delete. If you don't know what it is, I recommend not deleting it. There are other bloatware apps, but I recommend keeping them.:
At&t Navigator
At&t Radio
At&t Maps
At&t Music
At&t Mobile Hotspots
Mobile Banking
Mobile Video
Where
YPmobile
At&t FamilyMap
Mini Diary
MobiTV
Write and Go
Media Hub
Daily Breifing
3f. Click on the app and press the red un-install button. NOTE UNINSTALL WILL REMAIN THROUGH FACTORY RESET ONLY UNINSTALL IF YOU ARE SURE YOU WANT TO.
4. Sideloading Apps
4a. If you are on a PC download this androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine
4b. If you are on a Mac (me) or Linux download this androidcentral.com/android-central-sideload-wonder-machine-linux-and-mac-talented-forum-member (note the mac and linux link is down atm but it should be back up soon.
4c. if neither of those options suit you and you want a more perminate (note it did not work for me) solution, then try this forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728121
5. The service
You're screwed. (It works pretty nice where I live, but always manages to be dead when I need it the most.)
6. The Voicemail
While this is not carrier specific (all carrier voice-mails suck) , I thought I would include the fact that you can get visual voicemail from Google via its Google Voice voicemail service using your current number. For more information go to this link google.com/voice
note sorry my links are so weird, I am a new member and they do not let me post links.
If you have anything you would like to add, please add it in a reply
this is great thank you !
Thank you for taking your time I'm pretty sure it'll be really helpful to us users.

I'm pretty sure you can unroot, and from there do the factory restore, but any apps you uninstalled will still be gone forever.

The only sure way I know of to unroot is to flash the original ROM. As samsung does not provide this we need to wait for someone to pull it off the device.
the guide says it is recommended to DELETE or NOT to delete the listed AT&T apps? I'm confused at that part
Another guide: How To: Remove AT&T From Captivate
Includes: root, sideloading, remove market censorship, delete bloatware.
Thanks for this nbs!!
Do you know if the sideloading process listed above works on a mac?
I have I 9000 but same... rooting only puts a version of Su in system/xbin and busybox. It also installs supeuser.apk. any of this can be undone.

I ran into the same problem the first time. The file I downloaded from the Google site was around 40 KB and kept giving me that error message. So I did a Google search and downloaded the file from ithinkdiff.com which was around 80 KB. Also how are you installing the apk?

Yes, I have a rooted captivate with side loaded apps (Asphalt 5, PDAnet, etc.) that I just threw on my SD and installed that way.
I have only used my mac for my Captivate.
How Do you remove all those unwanted apps?
Titanium takes forever just to uninstall one app for me.
How do you do it using ADB or Terminal?
Titanium takes about 3 seconds for me if that, don't know how to do it with adb though.

Lol I tried that, but it kept saying permission denied or something like that.
2.1 seems a bit buggy at the moment so may just have been that.
I've been freezing the apps I'm thinking of getting rid of to ensure removing them won't cause problems. If I don't run into any issues over a few days, I'll wipe em.
Might be a nice idea to get a list of what apps can and can't be deleted in 2.1 though.
Just delete the apks and factory reset

I deleted some wallpaper application and while I, unfortunately, cannot recall its name it basically disabled the feature to have any wallpaper at all and just resets everything by default to the stock blue one. Could anyone upload the file? That would be greatly appreciated.

i had this problem. but i found the solution to be:
after rooting, uncheck debugging, reload titanium (use builtin app function), enable debugging again.
Contacts.apk
Someone has that one ?
So, yeah it installed but it still hangs when setting up my voicemail grrrr...
I don't really care about "calling" just using it for texting (for my wife actually)
Running Tnt2, maybe CM6 would help ?

It's confirmed I can get to inbox. I cannot however dial out. (says no mobile signal)
Steps I took
on my evo fully installed voice (switched roms recently didn't have it installed)
used Titanium to back up the app
Copied the 3 files to my titanium folder on the g tab
Restored the app
Lauched google voice. Got to where it said configure inbox then went back back back back to exit
inbox popped right up.
YMMV

lol, no problem man
This can also be done using mybackup pro. by backing up the apk and data from a phone that voice is completely set up on. Then copy the folder from /sdcard/rerware/myBackup/allappsBackups to the same location on the tablet then restore voice using mybackup pro on the tablet.
Also if you have a copy of Google voice 0.3 it will install and setup. Then you can update to newest version.

How do you restore with Titanium Backup? I backup my google voice on my phone. It creates 3 files in folder. I copy those files to where?
And then how do I proceed on G Tablet? Do I uninstall Google Voice first or how?
1. uninstall google voice on your tab
2. backup google voice on your phone with titanium backup
3. copy the 3 files from your phones titanium backup folder to your tablets titanium backup folder
4. run titanium backup, go to "backup/restore" select google voice, restore, then App&Data
5. then open gv and do the back,back thing from above

its in there, the font may be different, and it might be at the bottom of the list.. make sure you "refresh apps list" from the titanium backup/backup restore menu..

Thanks, that did it. It was ontology of the list Instead of alphabetical order.
Easiest way I found was to remove your old google voice with root explorer and then install Version 0.3 which I found in the first post here
http://www.evo4gforum.net/htc-evo-4g-apps/google-voice-0-3-4-apk-file/
I then did the setup, and it worked. First reboot it needed to be setup again. After that it has stuck.

How do you remove gv with root explorer?
Guys see when I did a restore with my backup pro, all my apps got linked to the market! The apk ones also and when I broke the link they all come under not installed! And my whole app list in the market was erased! How can I get back my list of only market installed apps? Plus even when I factory reset it and install all apps manually, it does not come properly! And even if I install an app from the market the whole thing comes back like that! Please Please Help Me!
likely has to do with market cache, among other things. the good news is, selecting to install them again won't wipe the data
So what should I do to get only market installed app list back! Its very confusing! It linked all my apps to the market on its on!
were you restoring a previous backup from cwm using backup pro? I don't have the app and don't know how it works. if you were, then why not restore using cwm and using titanium to backup your market? this should help save the market data to reuse after using that backup pro app...
Its this simple
Download Titanum backup>open>menu>market doctor>market auto updates
This would attach the links of user app to the Market.
Guys no ur not getting the problem! All my 280 apps apk installed ones and also including market apps have been linked to the market! I want only my market(user) apps to be there! Should I try making a new account!
ok to remove the apps u needo follow the same steps but insteat in titanium backup>menu>market tool>destroy all market links.
then reattach them

I have only market auto updates and market doctor no market tools!
To remove all market link do this
Goto Titanium>"Menu button">Market tools> Select destroy all market links
To reattach
instead destroy all market links select market doctor.
See even when I break market links all apps including user and apk come under not installed! I guess I have to make a new account!

After destorying, try using market doctor the attach the links back. You can try force attaching an app to the market too, go to backup/restore and long press the app and select force attach to the market. It should work

How about this:
Delete all Market links
Remove the google account from the phone
Delete all app data of the market apk
Restart the phone
Open market app
Enter account
See if the my apps list is clean
If it is, restore only the links you want to have to.

I fianlly understand your problem. Here's what you can try. Backup the app using titanium backup, uninstall the app and install it again manually(without data). Then restore the data and check if its under the list. Btw, can you see all your apps? If you can't, try reinstalling.

Try this (I really don't know if it works)
1) Settings=>Privacy Settings=>Back up my data and uncheck everything
2) Settings=>Applications=>Manage applications=>Market=>Clear data
If in 1) checkboxs are already unchecked... well, it won't work
edit:
If the apps appear as installed, try to break again the links with Titatiun Backup

Did you try as I said? I had a similar issue time ago and I couldn't solve it, so I want to know if doing as I explained will solve the problem.
Quoting from here:
If you check this option, a wide variety of your personal data is backed up, including your Wi-Fi passwords, Browser bookmarks, a list of the applications you’ve installed from Market, the words you’ve...

What I think is: you restored the apps, then the market recognized them as market apps and added them to the "installed applications" list. Finally Android backed up that list. So now, when you break the links with Titanium Backup, Android Market shows them as "not installed" because they are in that list and considers them as not installed.
Its ok guys! I made a new account!
Is there anyway to disable the play store from automatically reinstalling my apps after a flash? Feedback is much appreciated.

Playstore will still remember your installed apps; unchecking restore device will stop Playstore from automatically installing them. He was saying 'no' it will not keep Playstore from remembering you installed apps and told you where to go to see them. And how to remove them if you don't want Playstore to remember them.
Or to say it slightly differently... Unchecking the restore button only stops the auto-restore of your apps on a new ROM. It won't stop Google from tracking your every move and reporting it to the gov't.
