Sprint Zio root confirmed/live wallpapers.

Would just like to confirm that the Sprint Zio on 2.1 can be rooted using universal androot in the nexus section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598 Also Download Busybox installer or titanium backup from the market to get busybox.
After rooting you can pull the livewallpaperpicker.apk from the cm5 for the droid, others might work as long as it is from a 2.1 rom but it is untested. Use root exploerer or a similar app and place the livewallpaperpicker.apk into the system/app directory.. reboot.
The stock lwp dont seem to work but ones downloaded from the market work great. This method also works for changeing the launcher to launcher2. Also now with root it is possible to delet the sprint bloat ware to save space.
Hope this helps!

Sprint Zio Android 2.1 Rooted
Thanks for the info. UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk did it for me.

Does this work on the official 2.2 update as well?

yes, all root apps have worked flawlessly for me

I rooted my Cricket zio using Universal Androot when it first came out. I now have a LG Optimus C from cricket but can't seem to root it. I even tried the gingerbreak method with no luck, any advice would be appreciated!

I know this isn't really the right place for this but... I used the gingerbreak root and instantly it crashed several apps including android market and constant process android.process.media errors, I backed up everything I could w/out having root, I kept losing my connection and my phone rebooted itself several x's b4 I could solve the issue. I took out my SD card and had fewer probs but ultimately I deleted almost all apps from phone and put in an empty card (I do have another non root backup on PC as well) I still get the proc err occasionally but keeping my signal, what's the best way for me to safely recover at this point?? Sorry to b the new Guy skrewing up begging for help but this optimus has been difficult from day one. Any help will b appreciated and a small donation will b made to whoever can help, will a fastboot brick it at this point?

Download Titanium Backup from the market. You can remove bloatware that way.

[Q] Pre-instaled apps don't remove

Hi to all,
I read many forums about and I didn't found solution.
I have rooted Samsung Galaxy S2. I have problem with removing some of pre-installed apps, they don't remove from my phone. After uninstalling with Titanium Backup Free in backup/restore list they disappear, but icon on desktop and apps remains. After reboot they come back in backup/remove list of Titanium Backup like nothing happened. I already uninstalled a lot of pre-installed apps but two of them don't want.
Also I tried with Root App Remover but it said syntax error unexpected: "(".
Any suggestion?
Best regards!

you have to root your device with the Customs ROM, search in forum.

Thank you for quick replay.
Is that the last option, flashing the ROM?
Right now I have XWKDD_insecure kernel, Android 2.3.3, Baseband XWKE4.
Could help XWKE7_original kernel?

Go to Market and download Root App Remover.

change rom

Root explorer, use it to delete from system/app or data/app.

Thank you guys, I done it. Without changing the ROM.
Best regards to all!

Also titanium back up is an easy way to delete any app on the phone quick and easy

woops didn't read post all the way please delete my last post and this one!

I cant post a link, but (sdx stock app remover)works great to back up and uninstall apps. Its not in the market but you can get the apk for it threw a google search.

[Q] How to remove bloatware on unrooted inspire

Hey. I did a search and didn't find an answer to this question. I just got my Inspire last week and am still working up the courage to root it since it is my only phone, and I don't want to brick it.
So in the meantime, how do I uninstall apps that I don't want/ need that are on the phone? Things like blockbuster and friendstream, and stocks? The phone wont let you uninstall them in application manager, and I tried creating a folder to move them out of the /system/app folder so they wouldn't run on restart, but it won't let you move them either. And, of course, since it isn't rooted yet, Titanium backup won't work either.
Is there a way to get rid of these apps that I don't want that are stock on the phone?
Thanks!

Thats why we root, my friend. Grab the hack kit and jump in. There are stock Roms that are rooted and already have the bloat removed. And then you can try some other Roms... lots of good stuff out there.

Running the GB Stock ROM with BW removed. Works great!!!

No home

So, I wanted to do a factory reset on My old Sensation so I could give it to my dad. I did it, but I forgot that I removed default home application from it. And since I removed my account from it, there is no GoLauncher Ex on it theat I used either, so I can't see any screen, menus, nothing. All I can do is I am able to use notification bar and view settings. I have no backup anywhere. Why did I ever even root you ask if I am not computer or phoney savy, well, because I wanted to remove some apps, so here I am now. Any ideas?

you can flash the rom again

Could I simply install GoLauncher on it somehow?

IF you have a another android phone or a computer you could enable bluetooth and send the apk file wich is go launcher. You can search Google "go launcher apk download".

Press thanks if it helped

You can install it by using sdk using a computer but my guess is that you dont know how to do that so just download the official ruu if you are bootloader lock or there are many stock rooted roms if u have s-off and have a custom recovery...
I mean no disrespect by assuming u cant flash an apk through sdk on a pc...
Forgot to mention there is a third and easier way which is to find a launcher zip that can be flashed on recovery like touchwiz from the galaxy s3 then you can flash then you can install any other app out of the play store and remove or keep the flashed launcher just in case you reset the phone again...

Best thing to do is. Download golauncher apk file to your computer then either you send it via Bluetooth,or you can create or have account in any file sharing site eg. Box or dropbox. Uploaded to that then make file as for sharing to friends, you will get specific wab address to access that file then download from ur phone. You will see download in dropdown notification menu install file from there.

To install a apk from the computer with adb use the command

Thanks guys, you are right, I don't know how to flash, no offence taken, I just wanted to share an easy solution, perhaps someone messes up like I did some day, in settings I went to TTS and pretended to want to download English files. That lauched Market for me and I just downloaded Go Launcher from there. I was just veeeeery lucky.
