I have installed the xoom zone rom and I read that it is based off of the verizon image, but I own the wifi version. When looking through /system/apps I've noticed what seem to me a few 3g specific apk's like mobile data and phone. What can I safely remove, if anything? Thank you.

There was a post in early May from someone who tried to delete those apps. Xoom bootlooped and he had to do a nandroid restore.

If you had backed up with Titanium Backup, just restore missing apps and data.
I didn't though. Any way to get the old market?

Which version are you looking for? StrifeSoldierIIV has offered to pull free apks for anyone who needs them and I might still have an older market apk in my dl folder.
Which ever version was the old style tablet market view before it changed to the look of the phone.

someone on another forum had a similar issue... did a factory reset and restarted, then re-activated the google account and everything loaded correctly except a couple free apps... those they were able to reload via the web-market
good luck, and report back - I'm awaiting my xoom (hopefully tomorrow, but likely Mon/Tue) so interested in what works and what doesn't.
Done it already, no luck. Wife has the same apps not downloading.

Can you post an image/dump/nandroid of the system and boot from HLK75C?
I'm running HLK42B from the pilot 4G launch and would like to upgrade to this new version they are sending out now.
How do I do a system dump? I am not rooted, but intend to re-root as soon as I get the right files.

You can always back up your apps with TB and reinstall back later.

You're making it harder on yourself. Do a full titaniumbackup and then use my debloater. If/when you need the app again do a titanium restore for that app. Much easier than freezing by hand.
ok...
can u just give me a list of the apps to remove?
anyway i just wanna remove those BACKROUND RUNNING APPS
I agree with FB backup->debloat-> enjoy lol
Look at a rom in the development section called SimplySimple he has a bunch of apps removed and he lists them that might help you know which apps are ok to remove

I use Gemini App Manager. It shows you which apps have "autorun" code in them and you can selectively kill the "autorun" codes you want.

You should still debloat. And help us keep the forum from getting bloated. Your post today could have gone in your previous thread. And consider hitting thanks.
If you want a list of apps you can safely remove try this.
Debloat. You have no idea how much ram will free up. Just do not get rid of Visual Voicemail. You already have a copy of the rom you downloaded- just unzip it, look in the system folder, and there will be all of the apks that come with the rom. If you want those apps back, simply load them on your sd card, and push them using a program similar to root explorer back into the system folder that they were originally located.
If your running Valhalla Black, don't get rid of Amazon Mp3.
I make the mistakes so you don't have to
Why not Amazon mp3?

At first it caused a process related to it to keep bringing up a force close message. The only way to remove it was by removing that process.
Here's the catch- once you remove that process, a process called com.android.xxxx (can't remember), starts force closing, which in turn resets your phone. I was also loosing my signal randomly.
I also had flashed other roms before. It could be some part of my phone was corrupted. I couldn't get a log because quite frankly, I needed a phone that worked again. I would just be safe and leave it alone.
The debloater is completely safe though- just don't get rid of visual voicemail.
I froze the amazon mp3, but all is well

Ok, here it goes. I have been using tbu for a few years now on various phones. I am using version 3.9.0.1. This is one of the first problems i have had with it. When I go to install or uninstall any app, I get a force close. I have tried numerous things to get it working again with no success. Anyone have any thoughts?

The only thing i can think of is, i have too many apps backed up. I have 247 user apps that equal 3gb. I don't know, I'm lost on this. I might back them all up on my computer, then start uninstalling them normally. I'll get rid of 50 or so and then use tbu and see if it acts any better.

Have you contacted the developer? Also they have a decent troubleshooting wiki over here that talks about FC's and crashing >> Titanium Backup Wiki

Try to use the titanium wiki . There are quite a few Youtube videos are available to help you out.

since this is the i777 forum, my guess would be that your section is not here. if you don't know what section is yours, you probably shouldn't be rooting and modding your phone.
sorry to be so harsh.

Not harsh at all. Following directions properly is the main ingredient for successful flashing or using apps that require root. Since restoring with TiBu across different ROMs can definitely mess up your phone if not done correctly, one needs to know exactly what they are doing. Not being able to find the correct forum is a bad omen.
Moving to a more appropriate thread...
Guys didn't wanna start a new thread and clog it up so ill ask here. With the new update a titanium backup, isn't it supposed to I have update zips that restore with data? when I restore through recovery after complete wipes, the app's install but there is no data. I was hoping that this zip would restored exactly the same as it would in normal restore processes. Example: SwiftKey needs setup again, all accounts need to be signed back in, etc

This has been covered many times. No need for a new thread.
And whatever you can remove in "Manage apps" without root is probably safe.

Just download an app freezer, and freeze all the bloat apps. It is much safer. Then if something messes up other things because it was frozen, then unfreeze it, simple as that.

Unfortunately, yes it is kind of trial and error with freezing apps, because it all depends on the "other" apps you use from the market to do things like sms and email and such. Some apps want to use the att address book and others do not, and so somethings things will FC if you freeze something that another app looks to be running.
It is really not as hard as it sounds.
