Why does your info say your phone is over clocked? Did i miss the release of a custom kernel?...

 

[joser116]

You can overclock with the stock ROM if you rooted. Use SetCPU from market.

WITHOUT OVERCLOCK: 528 MHz
WITH OVERCLOCK: 600 MHz

Pizz4...you should try it. It has definitely increased my speed.

WITHOUT OVERCLOCK: 528 MHz
WITH OVERCLOCK: 600 MHz

Joser, what do you have your minimum set at?

 

[KOLIO]

Any free apps available to remove system apps?

 

[Jazziette]

Hi KOLIO! Yes you can download Titanium Backup from the Market.

Just be sure to backup any apps you are going to remove first and don't remove anything that says google.

Also...you have to be rooted first.

 

[KOLIO]

Just need a step by step walk through,this is my 1st smartphone.Thank you.

 

[Jazziette]

Sure. Go ahead and download the free version and I will wait.

 

[Jazziette]

Have you already rooted?

 

[Jazziette]

Okay. Start the Titanium app and when it asks you for permissions be sure to click on 'allow'.

Then touch the center tab that says: Backup/Restore

Select the apps you want to uninstall. Back up first. then select again and this time uninstall.

It's really all that easy.

After that you may want to get SetCPU from the Market to overclock to 600 Mhz.

 

[KOLIO]

Yes,rooted & titanium back-up are installed.

 

[Jazziette]

Okay just follow the steps above and I'll wait.

 

[KOLIO]

Overclock is installed,will get back to you shortly,got crapware to dispose of. THANK YOU again for your help.

 

[Jazziette]

You're very welcome!

 

[KOLIO]

That was easy enough,good riddance UNO&PHOTOBUCKET! If you would,I would like your opinion on what to keep&what to scrap.Also,with all the bloatware removed,is a task killer necessary/desired?

 

[Jazziette]

Super! Advanced task killer is a good free app.

You can remove all the following with no probs:

Storefront
Myaccount
Mybackup (Google already saves ur contact in your google account)
Cricket Mobile Browser
Poynt
Documents To Go
Photobucket
UNO
Midnight Bowling

Also...are you using LauncherPro?

 

[Jazziette]

I wouldn't remove any Email stock app. Some users are experiencing probs when they do.

 

[Jazziette]

If you don't already have it you might also want to download either "Better Keyboard" or "Smart Keyboard" from the Market. Then you can uninstall the stock one.

There are other stock apps you can uninstall as well, just depending on what you like.

However, do NOT uninstall google talk or or any browsers you may have probs. You should, however be able to uninstall Mobile Web without any problems. Just remember - don't uninstall anything named google !!!

My favorite app is: LauncherPro

It's the ONE APP I couldn't live without!

 

[KOLIO]

Yes,the free version of Launcher Pro&Home Switcher.I plan on using the stock launcher for large widgets(mp3,games,etc.) Just read the thread of yours on launchers,I agree that's ok to disagree on that,or anything for that matter.l would like to replace the stock music player.Would like your 2

 

[Jazziette]

LOL! You read the "locked" thread on LauncherPro? That was before Joser and I became good friends here.

He wanted me to d/ld LP and I didn't want to. Now I don't think I could live without it. I have the LP+ and I would recommend if you are going to keep LP to upgrade because the dev is a little bit strange and you never know what he's gonna do with the free version. I hear that GO Launcher is another really good one.

I still am using the stock music player but I have Power Amp, which makes it SOOO much better and Pandora radio, which I like a lot.

Sorry I can't help with the music player.

Out of curiosity why do you think the stock launcher is better for widgets than LP or another launcher?

I like the 7 Home Screens on LP and my widgets all work great!

 

[KOLIO]

It's just a space issue.I actually prefer LP, I like the scrolling bottom line.I tried other launchers,did'nt care for them,love the simplicity of LP.
Currently using Automatic Task Killer& KISS music player,(sans Gene Simmons & co.)
Again,THANK YOU for the assistance!Drop me a line if you have more kernels of wisdom you'd like to share.
One more thing, is it just me,do we or not need another holiday to bridge us from NEW YEARS' DAY & MLK DAY?
Talk to you soon.

 

[P1zz4guy]

Pizz4...you should try it. It has definitely increased my speed.

I've had setcpu for a while, i just wasn't aware that it actually worked at 600mhz even though it just it did. Thanks for the info.

 

[Jazziette]

I'm glad I could help. I got plenty of help here when I first got my phone so I'm happy to give back in return.

 

[Muilisx]

Hey Guys!!!

I am rooted, with TB, Junk removed, I even have Juice Defender which is actually working very well.

I am reading a lot about SetCPU, but I also read how it can shorten the life of the CPU? I would like to have it just because of keyboard lag, and sometimes the phone can be slow, like today, I had a missed call, I dropped down the little notification window, tapped on the person who called and it took like 4 to 5 seconds to take me to the screen where I can either call them bacl, text them, and son on. Is SetCPU that worth it?
