Shoot...can't remember off the top of my head...but anything by att...if you can't tell what app it is by the apk name open the apk up in 7zip and look for the icon
There's a bunch you can remove, and you can always use other stock based roms as a reference, an easy way to find out if its needed is go to rooted stock uclb3, get titanium back up and start uninstalling apps when your done getting rid of apps rebiot and see how your doing

Really the best thing to do is experiment...development is all about trial and error and finding out what works best for you if something goes wrong then there is always Odin/heimdal
Goodluck with what ever your building

There's an old saying that goes something like, "Greatness innovates, but genius copies". There's another one that states that, "Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery". There's another, somewhat XDA specific, that goes, "Read/search everything on the forum, then ask a question that hasn't already been asked and answered". With that preamble,
1 - This question is probably better posed in the Q&A section. Dev section is for, well, development.
2 - Taking a direction from the above quotes, download a debloated rom, unzip it, and compare to the stock rom. Read the OPs of some of the other roms, sometimes they list all the apps that have been removed. Mostly, you'll be looking to remove things from /system/app.
3 - Read up on deodexing and zipaligning, unless you plan to use as a base a rom that already has this done.
4 - Ask permission and cite sources if you use anyone else's stuff.
5 - Google, read, research, search again, repeat...

I know it might not be totally safe, but I found these APK sheets for the SGS2.
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...=0Ag43oj7rLQP4dENZcmhGN0ZUa3pHSENVeXlqUm5vV0E
I always use them as a guide when I go around trying to see what I can remove. It may or may not be totally compatible with the Infuse, but I haven't had any problems so far.

OP...this thread has been moved. Q&A threads should be created in the Infuse 4G Q&A section. Not in Development.

Finished De-Bloating, thanks for the lists dht2005. They were a big help.

MD5 checker

I've had this program for several years now and it works great! I know there are numerous thread for md5 checkers, but I see now reason not to share this with everyone. I have used all kinds of them in the past 20 years and they all work differently. This one is very simple and very self explanatory.
Extract to your Desktop
Double click
check your MD5
Disclaimer: I did not code this program, Midwavi made it and I do not think they are around anymore!

Hmm, looks simple enough. But you can just use Astro to check md5 sums lol.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm Two Point Two RLS5.3.
I like to download the radio image straight to my sdcard from the web and check the MD5 hash right on my phone. That way I know it's correct and there are no errors copying. ManD5 works well for this, and its free on the Market. I'm sure there are others but its the one I've been using.

This isn't for your phone , and I didn't post it for use on your phone!
The radio image was an example. Obvious!
Also, more than obvious it's for use on a computer. I mean, this is the Development forum, is it not? I'm sure there's a few "Developers" here that could use this. I found it to be a quick accurate piece of code and figured I would share!

What's even more obvious is that you posted it in the wrong section. Notice that the rest of the topics are posting developed roms, kernels and mods?
i'll go with wrong forum.
also here is a better way to do this - http://www.md5summer.org/
Wrong forum yes...but he meant well with his post. Gotta give him credit at least it wasn't a stupid newb question asking how to root!
CM7 nightly
I rooted my dinc and backed up the rom it was just as rooted. Now when I try to flash a new rom on it, the stock version comes on with the htc sense. I try and restore the default and it says MD5 miss match or something. Will this fix the problem?

Instruction.
Place zip on sdcard and flash in cwm based recovery.
It is designed to leave your data intact. Its designed to FORMAT system and cache.
Do not do any wiping or formating or resets before or after the flash.
Do do a nandroid back up in case you don't like it and want to go back.
Do do a tibu. Your probably due for one anyway. Good measure.
Its a ICS upgrade. Should you have a forceclose at boot up, something in data is causing it. Go back to recovery and preform a factory data reset. All will be good then.

Nice!
Been waiting for a good basic ICS rom for my skyrocket. Can't wait to check it out.
Too late in the evening to do thus, but definitely will attempt tomorrow.

Closed until further notice, that's until I get my zip filing sorted out. Thanks to the one tester I had. Mods can delete this.

Thanks for your help mate.
for what its worth, the other rom posted also isnt working. maybe its our CWM? it backups and restores fine, but i dont think anything has been tested as far as flashing.
no cwm works fine, its just the roms themselves. hes getting status 0 because he has an old update-binary in there.
however you do need to be careful because the other rom (who im guessing was also using dsixdia's kitchen) was trying to use an update-script (which hasnt been able to be used since CWM 3.0, we are on 5.5.0.4 now... cwm 3.0 was out with froyo).
if you want proof of that go find something like the v6 supercharger script and flash that, or any of the many many flashable things that wont screw up your system (here is a really good one i recommend its a REALLY nioce anti theft app) or heck look in your own general section for a man that took some time making toggles for you guys http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620918 he seems to have it flashing through cwm.
the common denominator isnt cwm, its people using rom kitchens :/ if you want to use them to speed things along thats fine, really it is... however if your starting off and thats all you use then when things go wrong (like this or the other rom thread) you dont know how to fix it because you didnt learn on how things work.. just what options make your phone go zoom zoom! please dont take this as a bashing, but more of a "the more you know" kinda **** if your serious about rom development then pick up and learn.

QFT. It's best to learn the basics first, and go from there. Kitchens are bad news - don't use them, ever preferably, and at least not until you get the basics down. You'll have troubles otherwise.

[Q] How to update OS on rooted phone

I want to know how to update my OS on my s2 LTE. I got my phone rooted in the first place to get ICS on it but its been glitching recently and a lot of apps crash or dont work. My messaging also crashes. I need help I dont know much about this all this, i wanna keep all my contacts, texts, apps, pictures, videos, everything if possible. All help is appreciated!
You need to read the stickies. You'll need to learn how to use Odin and flash a recovery. Don't keep posting New threads.

Make sure to read everything thoroughly! You have to be sure on what you are doing otherwise you will end up with a paperweight. The stickies are a great place to gather the knowledge and there are a multitude of detailed guides out there to help you along the way. If you have questions after already doing your "homework" then everyone will be more than happy to help you out.
To answer some of your questions, your contacts should be linked to your Google account and thus will come back as soon as you sign in. The apps can be backed up on titanium backup. Pics/vids/etc can be moved to external SD card. You can use my backup root from play store (free) to store text messages.

Bricked?? Help

This will probably be moved or you may want to post this in the help section. But while im here. You able to get to bootloader? Or download mode? From power off hold all three down. Power home and volume down. You should xome to a triangle. From there you should be able to get to recovery. If not save battery and get to a computer and xda the odin 3.07 .zip and drivers also the file will be there as well. You should be ok. I dont want you to freak out as it is kindof hard to really brick. But possible . So. Head over and follow the simple steps. I got in a hurry once and flashed the wrong zip and blacked out. I powered off via battery pull held three buttons and volume up I believe. Then I got back into recovery via reboot.
Edit. I then wiped everything. System too and reflashed backup

Yeah I told him matter of time as its my first line in my post. In the meantime if I see someone needing help should I just tell them nothing more than move post to proper threads or? I don't want to cause any friction. Been doing this a long time but not in xda. Much respect and regards moderator ..
