I was running 3588 with the Enhancement Pack every since I got my G Tablet. Didn't even play with the stock at all. Was fine for the 3 weeks I have had it. Today my market wasn't listing anything under My Apps, and I couldn't search and find a lot of the market items. I redid the market fix, and then I started getting force closing on almost all my apps.
I reset my tablet back to stock 3588 and I have decided to stay stock and just side load my apps in hopes the 3991 update really is going to make this better when it comes.
Got everything set back up, apps all loaded back up, but I can't figure out HOW to change the wallpaper on the classic TNT. There is no gallery to select from and the default picture app sucks and won't let you select images to be a background. I know this sounds dumb, but if you long press on the home screen no option except to pick the default ones that come from Viewsonic.
Any apps that will allow you to change the wallpaper?
Nevermind, saw a thread created aftermine that mentinoed using Muilti Picture Live Wallpaper from the Market. Transferred it over from my phone and it works well.
The first thing I did with my DC when I got home was root it. The next thing I did was install Titanium Backup. Here is a list of bloatware that I have safely frozen using Titanium Backup. I’m sure this is not a complete list, so feel free to contribute.

I cry out of great sadness that my phone is currently unrooted. Great, horrible soul crushing sadness since root won't work on ED2. Oh woe! WOE!
I haven't installed the ota. I used adb to root.

You can unfreeze it later if you prefer. Just uninstall it. Good riddance

Completely removing the files/apks can prevent you from getting future OTA updates, where freezing them with Titanium Backup is like removing them, but if you thaw them out, they return and you can still get OTA updates.
Okay, gotcha. If I've installed Firefox, is it safe to freeze Browser?
Things I have frozen, works perfectly!

Freezing backup assistant causes force closes for me since it keeps restarting itself. Everything else worked great tho, thanks.
Frozen but still showing up
So I froze a bunch of apps in tit back but it seems like a lot of the links to them are still visible... for instance i froze daily briefing but when i long press on a home screen to add a widget i can still see all four of the daily briefing apps. Same goes for icons when i long press to add applications to my home screen. Is this just a failure by tit back to clean up these items from everywhere?

The same thing happened to me, but a reboot fixed it.
Just picked up the Charge (for my daughter) and I've not used Titanium Backup at all, but presume its easy to figure out freezing apps. My question is why freeze vs delete? I've pretty much always used CM 6 or 7 so this is something I haven't had to deal with before.
Me: OG D1 CM7.0.3 w/ChevyNo1 ulv @ 1.1ghz
Wife: OG D1 CM 7.0.3 stock kernel
Daughter: Charge

Not Flaming but this question was answered on the previous page. There is only two pages, you should read them.
When I freeze car cradle my dock no longer works. On my droid when I added a new car home app it gave me the option to make that default when docked, but I don't get a message for the Charge. Anyone know a way around this? I really want to use my car dock but car cradle is complete crap.

Sorry if I seem dense to you, but I don't really know what 'freezing' is. That's my question I suppose. Why one (freezing) vs the other (deleting)? Freezing leaves them on the phone but keeps them from being visible/loading? I certainly read the prior page, but someone saying 'I froze these files' and someone else saying, 'just delete them' doesn't really help me out much, hence my question. Just trying to understand something new. Is there a good reason to freeze something rather than just delete?
Edit: Nevermind. Still kinda wondering just what freezing does, but tibu is pretty self-explanatory in its operation.

Yeah, I was just re-reading the first page again (for the third time) and saw that. I do not understand how I missed it. My fault. Thanks.
You can also just rename the file extension that you want to remove/delete. What I do is just rename the file from .apk to .bak. Then I move them all to a folder named system apps on my sd card. That way if I need them in the future I can just move them back to the system folder on the device and just rename it back to .apk. I don't like depending on a program to do it for me, because there have been instances where Titanium has screwed me when restoring a file. Just my opinion and to each their own but it is another alternative. I use Root Explorer to do this. You don't have to move the file either, you can just rename the .apk extension to .bak and just restart your phone and the app will not load.
Regardless be sure to restart your phone so that the apps do not load after making changes.
did i freeze something important?
after i froze everything on the list (on page 1), i rebooted my phone. Now it's stuck on the boot-up animation screen.
Edit: I froze TWLauncher 2.2.1 without using an alternate launcher. Am I screwed?

If you want to get out of the boot screen, I would suggest you start all over. Either reflash the through ODIN, or go into the Samsung factory recovery and wipe user data and wipe cache. For instruction on how to go into recovery on Droid Charge, there's a instruction in Droid Charge Forum in Android Central under the sticky in Charge Rooting, Room and Hacks by DroidXcon.
I dislike the name Play Shop and want to have Market and the Market icon back on my Homescreen. I have uninstalled Play Shop, but when I go to the Market, before long Market has updated itself to the new name and icon.
Is it possible to somehow change the name of Play Shop to Market and change the icon? Alternatively is it possible to stop Market updating itself?
My phone is a rooted Galaxy Ace.
TIA.
Decompile it, go to string.XML, change the name. It will be at first few lines normally.

Using tb you can freeze the market updater. Change the icon by extracting the apk on your computer and swap the images over. You could even use your launcher to change the icon.
Thanks for the tip, I also don't like the icon (For now I removed from the first screen )

rashid. fairus I didn't perceive any improvement in performance; it probably exists only in your perception. Even if I had that wouldn't make any difference. When you are my age you might not be keen on change either lol.
Thanks to everyone else.
I had it configured in 'multicon' app and after the update it stayed with same icon (no names are shown with this app)
After I downloaded a software update to my One S it has defaulted back to the HTC sense homescreen and dock,clock etc. I was using launcher pro and had my phone set up just how i like it but now I cannot open Launcher pro, anyone know how I can get it working again?
Are you T-Mobile UK branded? I got the T-Mobile UK OTA and it didn't loose any of my wallpaper, or Sense widget layout.
As for LauncherPro - uninstall it and install it again? There might be a restore from backup option in LauncherPro settings, if you previously backed up your layout and settings.
Edit: Just a question, out of curiosity. I received the OTA, but my camera interface didn't change to the Sense 4.1 style. Also, did you get the EA Games app, that was in the OTA description? I don't have that either - not sure if it's a good or bad thing. (well it is bloat I guess...)
Hi sorry for the slow reply been working and havent been on the forum.
I got the EA Games app, and cant uninstall it, well I probably could if I could be bothered but you cant uninstall from app manager.
The only way I could get Launcher pro working again was to download the Home switcher app from the market and until you mentioned it I hadnt noticed the camera interface had not changed and yes I am on T mobile
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
I mean branded as in do you have T-Mobile written when you turn on the phone? Because I did not receive the EA Games app, and my camera interface has not changed even though it was supposed to in this update.
Well done on LauncherPro.

So basically you know the wallpapers that are usually stock with the device when you select the "Magazine Unlock"? It changes the wallpaper everytime you open the device. I really like that feature don't get me wrong so I naturally tried my best to get the latest and best wallpapers from Huawei themselves.
However today, it seems that they've all disappeared and I have to possible ways this has happened. Either the stock wallpapers which were updated have been deleted within 3 months of getting them (I doubt this because they were relatively new) or I've manually deleted them from the gallery which I never did.
So UHHHHH if anyone has the stock wallpapers that usually update to the phone I'd really like to download that because it seems I have nothing to update.
If i understood well, you're looking for stock MagazineUnlock wallpapers, right? Find 'em all here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/themes/magazine-unlock-wallpapers-t3546947
