Hello, i've recently rooted my stock froyo rom (and also installed franco.kernel v18.1)... I installed Titanium Backup also, and there are two LG apps (com.lge.wmc and com.lge.ers) in the list and they are with strikethrough lines...
I also installed Root Explorer to search this files that are stored in /data/data/, and both are with "rwxrwxrwx" permission
The question is, what are these apps?? what they do?? they are safe to delete from /data/data folder???
thnx in advance
Anyone? I'd like to know too.
Echo... Echo... Anybody...
I have the same problem too...too...
Yes update your phone. You are still in froyo...

I have some issues with my phone after I rooted it and uninstalled some annoying apps because my phone was running out of memory even if I installed only a few apps (it has only 128 mb). I know it is rather old technology but I got used with the keyboard and the long battery life...
Anyways
So I took a backup with Titanium backup which seems to be useless cause now it appears that there is a file that was uninstalled with one of the applications and the backup does not have it
The file is com.lge.ers and there are probably others because my phone buttons don't work and I cannot put the phone on silent mode
Is it possible to download only those files?
Is there any other solution that would help?
Thank you so much and I would appreciate your help
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.

Hey everyone!
So I bought my Play from Hong Kong 4 months ago and it's working great here in the Philippines. Now, I'm already on 4.0 UK Generic ROM to take advantage of the preserve-root-via-OTA trick but as everyone will know I lost some of the apps from HK ROM and some apps are added because they are by default packed with the UK ROM. There was this app from the HK ROM called Application Installer which, as the name implies, is a very simple application that when launched finds all APKs saved on your SD Card and from there you can select to install them. I missed that application because of it's simplicity and straight-forward job. I just can't live with going through File Managers only to install a single APK every time.
Now, will anyone be kind enough to upload here the specific Application Installer APK (can't remember the exact name) extracted from the system/app directory of the HK ROM for Xperia PLAY? I'm already on UK Generic and it would be pain in the butt to reflash again the HK ROM, extract a single apk, then flash back to UK Generic.
Thanks in advance everyone!
PS: If it's in the wrong section, somebody move this please?

huh?
was it something i did?
anyone? please?
do you have a HK based ROM? tried looking from it and extracting from it?
as i have said on my first post, i was previously on HK ROM, but now on UK Generic, but flashing back just to get a single apk is not an option as i have lots of apps already installed, settings already set, and virtually no time to do backups, flashing and reflashing, and rooting, and OTA all over again... i could have done that already and not asked here if it was possible for me..
anyone? please? please? need it so badly...
I have the app in my phone, instructions needed for me to extract from my phone and you'll getting it soon enough
you only need root friend, and with the help of Root Explorer or any file manager app that can read through system/app directory, you will find the apk file, copy (NOT CUT) it somewhere in the SD then post it here..
wats the name of the apk? GenericApplicationInstaller? PackageInstaller? I came across this 2, i'll just post it and you try it for yourself okay?
but i have both of those on my system..
and those two don't have specific icons..they use the generic Android icon for apk's..
i remember it having its own icon for itself.. sigh..
how bout this? i have another called CustomizedApplicationInstaller.
If i may ask, what is so desperately needed about this app.
As far as i can tell from your story only thing it does is a batch installaton of apk's.
Ad itś not like you are flashing a new rom every day i suppose.
Just use titanium backup, you can make a backup of all your apps with all settngs and data preserved. it saves it to your sd card, and you can run a batch restore wich restores all your apps.
cause is quite convenient as it searches all the apks you have in your sd card and list out for you so that you won't need to look for every single apk if you wanna install them...........
why dont you use something similar from the market?
beats me, ts wants that, i have it but i have no idea where it is
i already made my point.. i don't have to explain again..
ps: my signature really makes sense..
any ways to pull out from titanium backup?
nvm i think i found it, try this
my oh my just how can i thank thee good sir?
heartache healed!
Hi, I am pretty new to the android stuff and just got my HTC sensation. Rooted and unlocked.
For now, I don't want to install any custom ROMs, but I understand there are some T-mobile apps that slows things down. I am not using the phone with T-mobile...so any apps that requires T-mobile account / connection is useless to me.
Just wondering which apps are safe to remove. I read that some system apps can be problematic if removed. And I am guessing I use the titanum backup to remove after I've done a backup?
Thanks for the help

You should always read learn about these stuff, before do anything.
You rooted the stock rom, you deleted system apps and now you've got these problems..
What apps did you delete?
What app did you use to remove apps?
Did you make a backup of your original rom before the root? If not: bad! You should always do it!
Did you have a backup of the apps you deleted?
You should never remove system apps... But you can still freeze them with Titanium Backup or Link2SD, so if something is not working you can still un-freeze them.
Also, you should not use tools like uniflash, if it is NOT tested with your phone.
Try to go to a Vodafone shop, and say them that your phone is not working well, and you don't know why... maybe they will just change it even if it's rooted.
OR you can go here http:/ /roeddie. blogspot. it/ p/ vodafone-smart-ii-alcatel-v860.html and download AiO Fastboot, which includes: drivers, recovery, custom rom. It will auto-flash the recovery and the roeddie's custom rom. View the HELP file before starting flashing the rom!

Thanks for those replies, I did make a backup but it was on my previous PC before it decided to break!!...so new computer minus backup ...lol everything I have is breaking
I have deleted all Vodafone crap except Vodafone updates, with root explorer...thing is...it was receiving calls after I deleted these apps..then suddenly it wasn't...the phone always had the delayed call answer problem that so many others have had with the firmware on this phone, so i installed the call delay patch from app market... I can make phone calls, send and receive texts but not receive calls...very strange!!....so I suppose I'll go with the custom rom ....
I'll let you know how I do with it....by the way you mention "backup"...but has no one else go one i could use?
cheers:good:
