you can get a MIUI Camera replacement, by overwriting the camera.apk

go to your phone browser, or just download 4shared, the app (or internet) and type in "gingerbreak" and download v.1.2 and see what happens. if it still says a error than go to settings->application->and make sure the first option is checked "Uknown sources"

Yeup. did that. and the box was checked.
Still said unsuccessful. -___-

did you download the apk i told you to? and if so, then uninstall everything about rooting, then try one more time then come at me with results

wonder if anything would go wrong if you deleted the rich pad app thing.

did you use Root Explorer?

 

[halsam00]

? what is that

? what is that

thats the app you need to do it with. Everyone has had problems trying to do it with TiBu.

You also need root to be able to delete system apps and use apps that require root/su.

If you're not rooted yet you can root it with z4root or gingerbreak (google em of serch these here forums )

ok thanks a bunch, I'm already rooted and have TiBu. Do I still need Titanium Backup? and what the best app for turning up the juice a little

if your stock or on a modified stock ROM ther is none, its maxed out at 600Mhz. Lots of ppl like tibu for backing apps and data up etc. Personally I dont like nor use tibu tho

Is there a free version of root explorer?

if you rooted with gingerbreak busybox is already installed

Now you navigate to the system/app or cust/metropcs/us/app directories and delete what you dont want. Just make sure to press the R/W button on the top right of the app.

If you want all of the metro bloatware gone you can just delete the whole app dir in cust/metropcs/us.
