Quick question. I've rooted the phone, removed the bloatware and install Paul's fix. All is great except my battery life is abysmal.
Thinking of doing the factory reset
What all will that reverse for those who have done it? Just want a heads up so I know what I to redo.

It will set the phone back to how it was when you first took it out of the box - no accounts, apps, etc. (except for the root stuff i think?). But if you let it, when you connect your Google account a lot of stuff will automatically come back such as apps, wifi settings, etc.

You should still be rooted after, and if you enabled google to backup your data, most of your apps will reappear and begin downloading automatically.
Once you remove the bloat they are still gone. I removed many bloats using root uninstaller. When I reset the phone they are still gone. You would have to go use this method to go back to the way your phone was when you bought it.

I rooted my phone and removed the bloat. Then I went back using the link above. I went back to my bloat free version using restore.
You will still be rooted. Tested this yesterday. All my downloaded apps were removed. Superuser will still in app drawer.

Long time lurker, but i dont think i have posted before...so sorry if this is on the wrong place/already been answered, if that is the case i would love be be redirected to where i should go.
Anyways, after updating this morning, everything worked fine other that some occasion lag. But when i opened up handcent, it was just a black screen. so i reinstalled it, and still no dice. the default messaging app had the same problem. If someone texted me i wouldnt get it, and there was no way for me to send out a text. then, when my battery went down to red, all of a sudden it worked like normal. i was able to charge it and even when the battery was full it still worked. However, when i reset my phone, it stopped working again, and resumed working when my battery got to red. Im pretty sure those are the only symptoms i noticed...Any ideas on what is going on/what i can do to remedy it?
And fyi, i was rooted before the upgrade and have rooted since. I had oclf, but disabled it before i upgraded.
Shameless bump, I really need help
Only thing I can think of is a bad install of the update. I would suggest going back to 2.1 using odin and then reinstalling the froyo update

So step one of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Then follow the installation of 2.2 as samsungs website outlines? Would that require me to restore all of my apps and settings from tibu again?
Thanks

Yea if you are going to flash back to odin you will need to back up all user apps using titanium backup. Make sure you do not restore any system apps though as that can cause problems. Also you will lose your texts so I would recommend backing them up. I use sms backup+

My friend had the same problem and had to go back to 2.1 and re-install the update and then it worked. Seems like the update didn't install correctly on a handful of Captivates.
okay so i still haven't done this because of how long restoring everything with tibu takes, but if I am gonna have to go through this process again, should i just make my first venture into flashing a custom rom? Am i correct in thinking that flashing wont be messed up because of the current glitch i have because it all reverts back to stock as the first step anyways?
Will I have to redo everything?
sent from planet snarf
redo everything.............. Like buy the phone again? <- is a joke
It depends on if you have anything backed up or not.
i meant redo all my config settings for phone and apps etc
I got mybackup pro but without root i cant backup data
rewording would the newest root method leave me with bare stock rom or will my apps and data be safe?
Bare stock it will be just like powering on the phone for the first time. Though market sometimes (not always) will sync your apps back to your phone. You can also back up your contacts to Google, and sometimes not always Google will save your background. Everything else you will have to redo.

After you root the first ROM will make you start from scratch, afterwards you can use Titanium Backup to restore everything.
hello again
I recently joined the community looking for a way to improve my device and actually achieved GREAT SUCCESS XD
I flashed a stock KJ6 Build, Rooted, and added the KJ1 kernel.
After that i installed the init.d and the Adrenaline XIX and 12 and everything worked LIKE A CHARM!!!!!
This morning I added the "ICBINB KJ6 add on for airflips" (Following Airfluip1's advice in this post ) BUT.. all of a sudden my device started acting slower then before, not even working the Advanced Task Killer.
I rebooted many times my device with no avail so here are my questions:
1. Is it possible that some of the mods are incompatible with eachother?..
2 If this is the case, what can i do to correct this?
I haven't look @ Airflip's ROM instructions but whenever I flash a new ROM, I always make sure voodoo is disabled if I was using it and do a factory data reset.
Try the reset. You will lose texts, contacts (they will sync back if you sync with google or Tmobile), memos, and you will have to re-set up the phone.

Hmm.. hard reset is quite drastic i think.
Update: I managed to install the Go Launcher EX and now pretty much everything went back to normal, so i wonder if the issue had anything to do with the KW actually.
Hi and thanks for reading -
I rooted my skyrocket and removed a handful of apps using titanium pro, including stock messaging, web, media player and some other things. After factory reset, I noticed those apps are still removed. I tried to restore them using titanium pro and I waited a good 45 minutes for the messaging app to restore and nothing happened, so I'm thinking something is wrong. I'd like to restore my phone to default settings, including all installed apps (as if I just bought it). Can someone point me in the direction of how this can be done? As I understand it, I need to install a custom ROM. I would also be willing to experiment with ICS releases for this device.
Any advice is appreciated
Cheers
Jesse

Yep, once you uninstall the app, it's gone.
For next time, here are a couple of tips.
1) Instead of using Titanium to uninstall an app, use the "freeze" function. Then use the phone a couple weeks and if all is golden, then go ahead and uninstall the app.
2) Always make a nandroid backup before doing anything crazy.

GO here you can download the official att rom. If you do the counter reset then flash this rom it will put your device back to stock. This wont trigger the counter. You will have to create an account hope this helps

What's a counter? Thanks for all the replies! I'm currently trying to get ICS to work on the skyrocket, but it was laggy, so I'm thinking about going for the stock after all.

The flash counter, it keeps track so Samsung knows how many times you've been naughty.
I flashed mine back to stock with help. My older thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582357
Follow the process and everything will be back to stock. Also, after first boot. Shutdown and then bring up the recovery menu. Preform a factory reset.

Since my phone is rooted, the OTA update notification is on my phone. The first time it came, I tried to perform the update not knowing it would fail since it won't work on rooted phones.
It's not worth the hassle to me to 1: return the phone to stock, perform the update, and re-root the phone, or even not re-root the phone, or 2: load the rooted updated here.
I just want the OTA update to go away, keeping the phone like it is for now.
The notification is persistent through a restart, and I don't see a way to clear it. It's been like this for a few days now.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
In the same boat, would love to know if there's a way to get rid of this daily annoyance.
Go to the Android store and download NoBloat free(it has a Android holding an AK)...then go to system apps and look for the update notifier which is syncmldm2.apk, select it, then choose disable only...and viola! Its gone!

You could also freeze Device Management 2.0 with Titanium Backup.

I'm probably missing it, but I don't see Device Management 2.0 in the list, even if I filter all by name.
Do you mean Download manager 2.3.6?
Are you on stock and rooted? I was able to install the update on stock and rooted from kies. I did have to reroot and uninstall bloat ware again but everything else stayed in tact.

Yeah, stock rooted. Obviously I'm lazy with this, but I don't want to mess with Kies either. I'd have to a: reload it, install kies, get it working, load the update, re-root the phone, and *THEN* reconfigure/reinstall all my apps and settings.
Sorry, but I just want the notification icon to go away!
The first app that was mentioned, doesn't work either, nothing is listed as was described. There was one or two things similar, but not the same.
syncmldm2.apk is listed under Titanium as "Software update v3.1201.4.2". If removing that doesn't get rid of the notification, I believe wssyncmlnps.apk is also related to software updates. Remember to "nand you shizz" and titanium backup before removing either as it may cause instability (although it may not). I believe I removed the wssyncmlnps.apk or something similar on my Exhibit with little consequence- probably since they never intended on updating that thing...
I had that icon, I tried to install the update a few times (failed due to root) after a few failed attempts the icon gave up and went away.

All of my apps and settings stayed intact after the update over kies. I just had to reroot and uninstall the bloatware again.
The only way for you to get rid of the notification would be to update via Kies Software. Doesn't work via OTA when you are rooted, regardless if you're running the stock firmware. I just updated the firmware now with Kies, but oddly enough, the notification was still there! I clicked it and updated OTA, and it worked because the phone lost root upon the update via Kies. So yes, I had to update my device twice..
Well, time to re-root and uninstall bloatware.
EDIT: Well, upon restarting device, I am experiencing a lot of force closing issues. I reinstalled ClockworkMod Recovery and tried fixing permissions, but that didn't seem to work. Anyone have any ideas or fixes? Maybe I should reinstall my apps again.. >_>
Most likely you will need to wipe your phone and start fresh.

Seems like it, thanks for input.. I'm going to backup my apk's and data, and everything using MyBackup Pro, so I can speed up the whole process. Hopefully everything turns out good. Oh, one question, when upgrading to official stock ROM releases, you always have to wipe if your rooted?? If so, I never knew that..
EDIT: omg backup app not working! Help! I refuse to wipe if I can't backup my apps!

I wouldn't think so, but there is always the chance an app incompatibly with an upgrade can occur and muck it all up.
Have you tried using Titanium?
Ah, I see.
Titanium seems very popular.. I've never used it before. I guess I'll try it. If all else fails, I do have a Nandroid from yesterday.
EDIT: okay, everything is restored and back to normal. Thanks.

If only real problems would go away if you ignored them long enough.
