GA10 Comming soon (Hopefully)

CG what bloatware apps are safe to remove?

I have happily removed the mobile ID, the Sprint Radio, tv and movies, Sprint zone, Google plus, the social network stuff (SNS). I also removed Gmail and the regular email app (I use k-9 for that), sprint wallet, Youtube (I side loaded Flash and use Dolphin browser that I tricked into allopwing me to enable it on Jelly Bean), the Yahoo stuff, Sprint Installer.

There are many others you can remove too (Google play books etc). I have also disabled things like Google partner setup. The best thing to do is use an app like Titanium Backup or Gemini App manager to freeze/block the app first, and see if that causes problems if you are unsure about an app. I have seen some lists one here and xda that could be useful.

I seem to be having weird issues with this Rom.
By weird I mean apps and phone stuff such as:
-In efile file browser, I can't rename, it says "sorry cannot rename, use another name",
-Every now and then I have a weird 3g issue were I can't toggle 3g at all....this may seem like not a problem, but it doesn't go of even when the phone goes to sleep, so that means data is "ALWAYS" on,
-In a word/office type app called kingsoft office I cannot backspace at all.
These are what I can think of off hand, but a reboot seems to fix it, except I'm having to reboot quite often, which it's also annoying. Sometimes reboot doesn't fix the issues or it fixes it only on a temp basis then reverts back.

Thinking about going back to FK23, unless someone has any fixes our ideas.

I used the OC no-data method.
I'm not using an sd card at all, I am using the internal sd instead.

That is some odd issues. I so far am not having any issues with this ROM. I can turn off and on both 3g and 4g without any problems, and hardly ever reboot.

I have had no problems so far either. I have had touchwiz lock up on me twice, but that's only because I was running too much in the background. Guess I was benchmarking it... lol. I usually tweak my phone continuously, but I find no need with this so far. My 3g speeds are low, but I only have 1 to 3 bars where I live. I also had exceptional 4g speefs when i was in Houston last month. :D

I been using GA10 from the 1st day it dropped and never had any issues either. I have a idea why others may be having issues. I think it's the way others use the preloaded folder. Different devs put different apps there. I use a format all script when I switch from rom to rom. A full wipe seems to give less errors to me.

I did the full restore install of FK23 and then on FL04 and GA10 did the no data install. I wouldn't recommend doing the no data install if coming to JB from ICS, but going from fk23 to FL04 or GA10 I have had no issues.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Reboot fixes it though, just annoying I have to even reboot. I came directly from fk23 to ga10, did the no data oc, not the fl04 like you did, so could be how I did it.

Can't see that as being an issue though, dunno

which FK23 did you start with? I used the stock rooted one click full restore.

Well I used the OC Full wipe data root fk23.
I just tried back to fk23 no-data OC root and am getting a boot loop at the 4g screen on bootup.

So am I going to have to go back to the OC Full wipe data root fk23? hope not as I haven't backed up my apps recently.

I guess if I HAVE to then I have to, but I'de rather not at this point.

That would be annoying to have to do a restore install, but atleast Google remembers any apps you bought on the play-store so you can download them again, and your contacts should be easy if you synced them with Google too.

My main question was if you went from a Deodexed FK23 rom (many of the custom ones are)to the one click Odexed GA10 with a no data install.

No, I did the one from rwilco112 site, nothing de-odexed.

Only real difference was I did OC FK23 Full restore SPH-D710_FK23_549262_Rooted_Restore.exe

to

OC GA10 no-data
GA10_818252_Rooted_Nodata.exe

Both are rooted versions.

Other than that there is no difference.

Guess I'll give the Full wipe FK23 a shot and post back with results.


Update:
Sadly that worked, so since I'm already botched, I might as well give GA10 full wipe a shot :). I just gotta remember to make sure everything is backed up every time I get ready to put stuff on.
I've gotten kinda lax in the last few months, just have ta make a mental note is all.
I'm guessing GA10 will work now, and something went haywire when I went from fk23 to GA10.

Was I the only one that had the no 3G issue with GA10?? FK23 is working 100% and I am not changing it back because it was a pain to do so numerous times while shooting youtube videos but I was just curious in case someone asks me.

Everything is working fine for me. 3g, 4g, and WiFi all work just fine.

Not sure what one you use to put on GA10 KV, but I did a no-data GA10 and seemed to have issue or glitches.
I am now on the full wipe GA10 rom, so I will let you know if things work or not.
