[Q] Bloatware reappears after reboot - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
I am using Titanium Backup Pro to delete bloatware on my HTC One S and while the apps appear to be deleted after Titanium runs, everything that I delete just comes right back after a reboot. I saw something in a post that said this is probably some code that HTC slipped into the kernel.
Any suggestions? My Htc One S is running Android 4.1.1, and HTC Sense 4+.
Thanks!

y not try a custom ROM without the bloat?

[Q] gingerbread 2.3.3 calendar issue

HTC Sync problem now...
I am rooted and have loaded the rooted 2.3.3 rom, and flashed the radio/ril.
When trying to sync my calendar & contacts with HTC Sync, it connects but won't sync. I get "Your device does not have enough free memory."
I have 1.7gb free on sdcard, and .92gb free on phone. ALL I have checked is People & Calendar. Any ideas???
I was able to sync right after downgrading with AHK, but not now after flashing the latest rooted stock rom.
I need my contacts & calendar... on my phone... and like being able to use sync on my desktop, because Outlook has some calendar options that aren't on the phone calendar.

Yes. First I clicked "check for update" on sync, and it said "up to date". So I uninstalled, and noticed the version # on the HTC site was later than what I had. But still no worky... It connects and shows my device, when I click sync now, the bar goes to the end then says not enough mem.
I ended up exporting my contacts to a vCard file and putting on my sdCard and loading them that way.
Still wish sync would work though...

Stock rom root beore update or update then root?
I'm a noob and this question may have been asked but not finding it if it has. I have a stock htc inspire with 2.2.1 and baseband ver. 12.39a60.19u_26.06.06.30_M. I want to update it to the new 2.3.3 GB but not sure if I need to root and down grade radio first then update or do the update and then root it. I have been reading and I believe its safe to go a head and update then root and install a custom rom or a rooted stock rom with alot of bloat ware removed. I just want to make sure before doing anything cause really not sure if you need to down grade radio first then root or update then down grade radio if you have to. Plus it does make sense to update then root seeing you loose root once updated but really not sure if it matters. Just want to be able to root once I update to 2.3.3. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Root first since it'll wipe out whatever you've got on the phone anyway. If you do the update, then you've just added an additional unneeded step.
The ace hack kit will work with either version so don't worry about that.
Gene Poole Thanks for your reply. You say

So root the stock 2.2.1 then put the rooted 2.3.3 rom on it and it will down grade the radio and be rooted to the 2.3.3.

I've heard about this tool but I've never used it. Seems a bit complicated in that you have to flash stuff before flashing rom, and after. Also once you run the program everything is gone completely. I like having control using root explorer to either move or delete the files that way if something does go wrong I just add it back onto my phone and change the permissions. Maybe it's just a lack of knowledge.

Hi,
It's a lot easier than it seems,and speeds the installation process up.
Perhaps , it's not for everyone,but the [OP] stated removing bloatware ,which it does in seconds.
It takes a while to configure the initial user text file,but once you have done it, you don't ever have to do it again.
And you only have to run it once after flashing the ROM.
It takes 30 seconds to run.

Hi,
Have a look at what is included in a basic ROM,by looking at THIS USER TEXT FILE.
You will also see guide alongside it showing what each one does.
Make sure you have notepad++(google it).
I have tried all I can but still can do the bloatware removal. I have rooted, enabled SU and I have installed root explorer but I don't know what to do now. The root explorer gives make access to the ROM but I don't know what to remove and how to remove it.

[Q] totaly noob in android

this is my first android phone, but before i had a windows mobile phone for years. I did a rom switch on that phone. But now i want to remove some stock app on the sensation (like facebook, twitter and other stupid stuf) with stock rom, I still didnt do anything with it.
Can anyone help me please, sorry for the hussle
thanks in advance

First of all you need to root your phone even If you don't want to flash any custom rom. The reason is you want to remove some of the system applications. After rooting you can use titanium backup to remove these app. But make sure you have nandroid backup if anything goes wrong.

Good evening, good news i succesfully made my phone s-off and rooted it. (2hours) Now i got a question: i try to remove twitter and facebook. The application installer removed it from the phone because i saw the data going down, but i still have the icons in my programlist. Is there any way to remove them, without booting a hole new rom. As you can read im still a newbee here.
Btw titanium backup says im succesfully rooted. Yay, Hope someone knows a answer.

Congrats and welcome to XDA. I would never go back to anything other than an Android OS. It is so much more customizable than anything else out there. I would say read through the forums and see what you can do and what you can tweak. Also, if you get bored you can try flashing different ROMS and see what you like best.
I was already member of xda years before in the time of qtek 2020i. (guus they called it then xda or mda. But unfortunally i lost my account from then, so had to make a new one. Otherwise i was not a newbee . For now i still like the stock ROM of htc. (stable and all functions work. Unlike the bèta verions of ics)

[Q] Uninstall Superuser permanently

Hey guys,
I rooted my HTC One Mini in hope to get rid of all the Google Bloatware, then I found out, I would need S-OFF as well (screw you Google/HTC!). So I guess I'm sticking with disabling and hiding apps in the menu, therefore I don't need root anymore.
When I rooted my Mini, I also installed Superuser via the TWRP recovery and now I can't get rid of it anymore.
I tried uninstalling it while booted into the OS with RootExplorerKit but that doesn't work.
What can I do?
Any help is greatly appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

Have you tried uninstalling from inside supersu? I know there is an uninstall option under supersu settings.
As for removing bloat, have you tried using aroma file manager? It's a zip file you use from twrp which would allow you to delete files from recovery, like system apps. Should work without s-off as it's from recovery.
There is a s-off method which worked for my one mini, but I'm not sure it's 100% safe for all phones...

Try going to settings>apps scroll across to "all" and from here you can disable system apps. Or if your rooted use TitaniumBackup.

How to unroot the HTC One mini (M4)
Hello there. I own an htc one mini and want to unroot it on order to install the last update for Android and Sense now officialy available (didn't know it won't be possible to do it without going back to stock, TWRP always show up when the phone restarts for update installation). According to an unroot process I've found for the One (M7), it is said I need to get the ADT bundle + proper RUU file, but I can't find any RUU for the mini (M4) on the net, just nowhere...so sad. And if someone could help, which one would be for a european debranded phone (Switzerland actually) ? Thanks for your advice and all the best. ***Can't move this post to a new thread, as I've just noticed my error***
No RUU as of yet as far as I am aware...

Thanks for answering. This is kind of bad news. I'm surprised no one have had the same problem, the mini seems to be unknown from the public.
Then I'll move to new roms, any idea about the cyanogen one ? Doesn't seem available yet.
CM11 is still in the early stages by the looks of it, but it's being worked on, and many thanks to h8rift for his efforts so far. I'm currently using Magio R3 and loving it.
Seems HTC have left us mini owners to stagnate, with very little if any source code release among other things like the lack of app compatibility. If HTC doesn't step up it's game I don't think I'll be using the company again...
I previously came from a Samsung phone and their source releases were always available. I'm now starting to regret the move in companies, especially with the reports of cracks appearing in the plastics of the HTC one mini phone, which luckily I haven't suffered yet, but is a daily worry for me as I'm tied to a 2 year contract.
Don't get me wrong though it's a nice phone, but is lacking in some support and quality.
Sent from my HTC One mini using xda app-developers app
Hi Ruff,
Thanks again for answering.
I'm not very keen in Magio but it only based on screen captures I've seen, CM seems more accomplished to me, but it's only an impression. Indeed there are very few source of information about the mini and exactly like you, if HTC products can't attract more users and thus more developers, I won't buy any other device from them. That was my second but also probably last try.
Since the Galaxy S1 came up, I've only bought Samsung phones, actually I chose the mini for its design cause I found the S3/s4 rather ugly.
I faced cracks with the HTC One S, supposed to be built with special ceramic, and after 3 months the screen freezed then the phone died...
I like this phone very much as well, but because I've rooted the phone in order to install new roms (and didn't find almost any rom because of the lack of development) and thought it would be easy to unroot it, which is actually impossible, now I can't benefit from natural development proposed by HTC...I feel like an idiot and this is what I am with a strong probability.
Now I can only but waiting on someone proposing a tutorial for dummies explaining how to go back to stock rom with their M4.
Saying that, all the best and waiting for my Saviour
Best way to do it is to s-off your mini using revone method and then lock your mini and remove the tampered flag. After that download the ruu from htc.com at the support and then mini. Just take the ruu and your bootloader will show locked and s-off if you done it correctly and no one really check your s-off thing.

Thanks for your suggestions but it sounds chinese for me, looking at the revone method then it looks even more japanese. About the ruu on htc.com, I didnt' find it, the only download they propose is the sync manager.Regarding my little knowledge, what I need now is a structured tutorial. Therefore I'll do searches on web now and then and probably one day someone will propose it. Thanks for your help anyway. Cheers guys

[Q] HTC One S - Force closing?

Hello,
I tried rooting my HTC One S but that didn't go as expected. I used this but it failed and now a lot of apps are force closing on me. I have no idea what happened. Anyways how do I restore the stock ROM? I am really new to this device so I have no idea where to start.
I am in Belgium (Europe) so I'd like to keep that firmware. I had created a backup using the backup thing from adb? (idk it asked me for a backup and I could add a password if I wanted).
I really hope I can fix this :/
Thanks in advance..
EDIT: I noticed the device is going really slow (animations and such). Buh
I used an RUU to fix everything. Much easier than using Odin on my old Galaxies. Sweet!

The link you posted is blank. What ROM did you install?
I had the issue with the PAC-man ROM using 4.3.
I didn't flash any ROM, that's why I find it so weird.
I used some one click root method because I knew these worked on my Nexus 7 and Asus TF700 as well. I guess I was wrong.
