I use Root Explorer and Always works great Since I had my Moment

I used the command to drag the program to remove it (at the bottom of the screen). But isn't there a setting somewhere (without downloading something) where I can "remove" the app, not just deleting the shortcut?

I deleted a few stock apps.
Telenav
Amazon mp3
Nascar
HTC Tutorial (which it's more like an internet shortcut)
Adobe Reader
Kindle
Quick Office
SFL

(Since I know those are safe to remove.) probably will get rid of some more later, Root Explorer works great!

I Installed Wireless Tether and works like a charm!

I haven't got the time to install recovery but will as soon as I can.
And after that just wait for the devs to come out with the good stuff Kernels Roms.

I am such a noob and I know nothing of this kinda stuff so what is wifi tethering? I want to root my phone and get rid of the stock apps I don't want. I was thinking of taking it to the sprint store and asking them to take the apps off( I want the same apps deleted as stated in the quote above.)

Is that possible, I dont want to tottaly ruin my phone because I really don't know what to do.

Sprint won't do that. Their updates check your apps, if some are missing, the update fails.

It's simple lock-in.

Most beginning root questions are answered here:

Deleting same request in parallel thread - remember - that can get confusing when you think about it.

Best luck on recovery, enjoy your nandroids!

I'm rooted! Took me an hour cause I'm a n00b to rooting and Android.

Now on to recovery, but I don't know how to begin.

What are all the steps before the "Backup Wimax Partitions" part...
or there aren't any steps?
Do i just connect to adb and input the wimax code or...?

I hope you all can understand what I'm asking.
Please help

*Disregard... got it*

Getting a new Shift this week and planning on rooting. Is there a way to play video podcasts on a TV like I can do with my (heaven forbid) iPhone? I am using doubleTwist as the player now on my tablet..

EarlyMon · Feb 26, 2011

As I recall, the iPhone has a hardware hook-up option (my buddy uses one like that).

In the case of the Shift, your best bet if you have a DLNA-capable TV is to use iMediaShare free in the Market.

I am _not sure_ if it will work with podcasts, tho.

I don't quite understand the recovery section. I've tried loading the code into the terminal and its saying it cannot.

EDIT: Downloaded Rom Manager and used that for clockwork recovery mod.

kellysa111 · Mar 9, 2011

I rooted and really, the only thing I want to change is the lock screen. I hate that thing that comes with stock. It's so ugly.

ardchoille · Mar 9, 2011

The first thing I did was to remove a bunch of apps that I'll never use (bloatware). Seriously I think bloatware would be better served from the android market instead of wasting space on the phone.

I just rooted (yay!) And have a few questions.

1. I've done a backup via recovery app, so what's the purpose of that titanium app? Is it necessary?

2. I can get rid of bloat via root explorer?

3. With wireless tether for foor users, it states that you need a rooted phone and a kernel that supports netfilter. So you have to flash a custom kernel (which I was planning on doing.. the 1.51ghz) to use the wireless tether app?

4. I also plan on using setCPU but mainly for lowering cpu when screen is off. When its on I may have it go to 1 ghz at most. Is there a significant battery drain when its overclocked to 1 ghz? Phone is already fast but I guess a lil more shouldn't hurt.

Titanium will backup your apps, so as not to have to go through and re download them all if you need to wipe when you flash a new rom. You can delete bloat with titanium backup, or root explorer.
Wireless tether worked for me with the stock kernel. I never had a problem running it. The cool thing about these different kernels is the undervolting, and the ability to control clock speeds both to gain and to throttle back with the processor. They tend to use less battery because you can scale the processor back when you aren't using it. I have mine set to run at 245mhz with the screen off (IIRC). That allows for longer battery life. Every body has a different experience, so just mess with it until you get it doing what you like. That is what makes these android phones so great. YOU have the power to do whatever you want when you root.

Kenneth196 · Apr 3, 2011

Thanks! Just installed apps I wanted such as shootme, wireless tether, sertCPU, titanium, & a few others. Flashed with the kernel you're using and I'm now playing with the CPU settings. Thanks for all the help, first time ever rooting an android & loving it!
