I have uploaded attached it for you. However I've not tested it but I see no reason to why it shouldnt work.
Just so you know, this isn't a normal installation apk. In order to install it you're gonna have to move it to /data/app through a terminal with superuser permissions. i.e. through terminal emulator:
su
mv /sdcard/teeter.apk /data/app

I get the same thing. Cant move it over to /system/sd/app
EDIT: Had to do it via adb shell
Wow I had it install straight up as soon as xmoo released the /system folder of the magic. I didn't need to use adb & its on my sdcard

Has anyone been able to install this app via the terminal emulator if so will you post the commands? I have been searching around for quite a while and I still can't find it. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
hello i too am having problems installing apk. tried to install from adb but got same error and force close. can someone point me in the right direction? thanks
You need the HTC frameworks and a ramdisk that puts them into the BOOTCLASSPATH. My CM2-ADP build has this (and Teeter). I doubt you'll get it working on a US firmware, though, because you can't change the BOOTCLASSPATH without breaking the preinstalled apps.
ok got it. I did try your build yesterday but had too many problems with the camera and video force closing. didnt see any real proformance change from jf1.51 either maybe need to update spl.
thank for the answer.
I found the teeter that can be installed using a regular installer app like Lindas. Its off the sapphire build. It does work but it is rather buggy on the g1.

heres another apk
I've searched around a bit (maybe not as long as I should've), but I don't see how to remove the stock bloatware apps that come with this phone.
Can someone point me to a guide, or give me a quick run down?

Its a pain lol. Theres so many i just gave up lol (fyi they don't take up much space)
This is the code :
Code:
adb shell

rm /system/app/<apk name>
pm uninstall <package name>
Just download Titanium Backup form Android Market and you can delete apks easily. HTH.

Maybe I'll try that. Do you have to actually do a backup/restore process before you can remove them? Or can you just remove them from the app itself?

You could do that but then ur left with a /data/data folder for ur app and its name under packages.xml.
The other thing that kills me is that a lot of these apps keep popping up for now reason. I run "Advanced Task Killer" on a frequent basis, but I'll find apps like "Slacker" sitting there, taking up memory.
I know a lot of these apps are set to run on startup.... but why are they just starting up at random times?
I feel like I have so little control over this phone... it actually scares me. I knew everything my WinMo phone was doing at all times.

Can these items just be deleted?
I went to Samsung Firmwares and got the UGJG8 firmware and flashed that using Odin and 512.pit. You will get a 100% bone stock i9000m with no bloatware.
Just remember to write down your current APN settings as you will have to readd them.

They could but that would be longer, since ud have to go through packages.xml to look for ur app. In simple terms :
Its like uninstall a windows software. Your deleting its c:\program files directory whereas im going to "uninstall software" and following procedure.

How in the heck do you find that? I've been all over the Samsung site and I can only find are Windows drivers.

Nevermind, I found it on another site. I think this is what you meant, right?:

Got it.
Now, is that a script I need to write for each app? I haven't even gone so far as to explore the file system, let alone write scripts. Is there a good (recommended) app for putting scripts together? ...or are you just using a notepad type editor in Windows, then copying them over via SD card?

Sure u can write a quick .bat script that does this or manually enter them in command-prompt up 2 u. Btw, what exactly is ur issue with the bloat-software ? is it the space its taking up ? or being shown in app drawer ? Cuz if ur using launcher-pro u can hide those apps from the drawer. Honestly they don't take up tht much space.

Well, the biggest thing is that they're actually running without me opening them (eg: Slacker). That is really starting to piss me off. Secondly, they are very clutter-some. I don't have Launcher Pro, though I've heard good things about it. Is this something I get from the Marketplace? It runs instead of the Samsung interface, right?
**EDIT**
Just found "LauncherPro" on the Market. Looks good, but many are complaining the latest version is laggy/buggy and has obnoxious ad placement.
Does anyone have the next most recent version?

Nope its independent of proprietary frameworks, i.e it runs on stock.

So would this be ok to install right now, or wait until I possibly flash the bone-stock firmware (which ironically would eliminate the included apps)?

Change Your Screen Resolution on HTC Evo 4g
I have successfully done this now. Remember that we don't have root in the same way that the EVO 4G does.
So:
Using any file manager that can read the / partition of your phone find and copy "/system/build.prop" onto your SD card.
Now copy the file to your desktop, and take a backup of that file too.
Open notepad and make sure word wrap is on, then open build.prop in notepad
Edit the required value (I chose 120), save and copy the file to your ADB/tools directory
Reboot your phone into clockworkMOD recovery, and connect your phone to the PC. Also go into the partitions menu of ClockworkMOD and click "mount system"
Open up ADB, and run "adb devices" to make sure the phone is connected and everything is working
Run these commands in this order:
adb push build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
Then reboot your phone.
Let me know if this helps

I dunno how I'd work it out, sorry.
Ah...
I think I've found the first of many flaws with this, and it was mentioned in the EVO 4G post. Some apps ignore this and use the old resolution, and thus don't fill the screen (see attachment)
As you can the the status bar goes a lot wider than the app. The status bar is the full width of the screen.
Other problems arise too, a reinstall of the app doesn't help, and some apps just end up completely screwed...

The resolution is the same - HVGA (pixels are hardware). You only change the dpi value which means that more things will fit to your screen but it will appear coarser than before.

Cool, thanks grandioso
On a slightly different note I've found that changing the value to 130, and using the 5 icon rows feature of launcher pro, is quite nice.

Thanks for clearing that .
There are some problems, but if you want to try it out, you can flash the update.zip I've just made.
160lcd.zip takes you back to default and 120lcd.zip makes your screen resolution higher.
@Briix
Can you make update for 130, like TheGrammarFreak suggested
I'd make one but I'm currently struggling to sign my .zip
EDIT:
Done it, just testing then I'll upload. I also notice that ROM Manager is one of the apps that ends up being screwed by this mod...
EDIT 2:
Wow, lots of edits. Anyhoo, 130lcd right here:
really nice

Has anyone tried GrammarFreak's zip ?
Are there any problems with it ? Is it worth the effort ?
Do I have to wipe for this to work ?
Explicitly my zip? Or any of the zip's in this thread?
No wipe is needed.
Also, this method is inherently flawed. Some apps just don't use the edited resolution. Unless a way can be found to force these apps to scale up then there will always be ugly moments.
One of the things that I've found to not work is the HTC-IME mod. So is it worth it? That for you to decide... Lol

I'd love to, but I can't at the moment, I'm at school and didn't bring my laptop. Unless someone beats me to it I'll make one in about an hour and a half; when I'm home.
I did try 140 myself but I didn't think it was worth it. I use 5 icon rows in launcher pro and the widgets started overlapping again. Like they did in the default resolution.

Would be great though if WF & Clock Widget (The Sense look Clock) would adapt to new screen and fill it out..
Totally sweet indeed..
Yeah, if I knew more about android I'd look into forcing apps to scale up. I'm not sure if it's even possible, but hey.

requires Root (Superuser/Busybox), and a kernel that supports "init.d" scripts (script files that are stored in /system/etc/init.d/).
The script also has a partner called V6 supercharger they go pretty well together heres a link to the V6 supercharger by zeppelinrox
this script is so easy to use but users might have problems using it so here is a easy install for you all to use i have converted it to run on non samsung phones by renaming the file and removing processes connected to the stock samsung apps
Have Clockwork recovery installed
Download the update.zip from the bottom of the post
Reboot into recovery and install the update.zip
Now for the really easy part
Using Root Explorer navigate to ect/init.d and select mount RW now scroll down to the "97loopy_smoothness_tweak" file and open it in the text editor within root explorer and you will see the 3 main sections to the script they are called
At the start of the script you will see this
Code:
USER_LAUNCHER=""
you need to add the launcher you currently use so that it gets locked in
Resident system apps
Other system apps
Other apps
in the 3 sections you will see lines one code that look the same which are
Code:
if [ $PROCESS_1 -eq "0" ]; then PNAME="com.android.phone"; NICELEVEL=-20; if [ `pidof $PNAME` ]; then renice $NICELEVEL `pidof $PNAME`; PROCESS_1=1; P_CHECK=`expr $P_CHECK + 1`; fi; fi;
All you do to add a app you want to keep in memory for as long as possible is to edit the script and change these values for e.g the stock dialer to go contacts
Code:
PNAME="com.android.phone";
to
Code:
PNAME="com.japps.contactpro";
that will keep Go Contacts EX locked in the background so everytime you wish to use the GC EX dialer you wont have to wait for it redrawing before using it.
To find the process names goto the data/data folder and all the folders you see in there are the process names used by the apps e.g. the com.android.vending folder is the process name for the vending.apk aka market app.
Just to let users no this script will not auto start the apps on reboot and once you first select the app you have added to the script after reboot you will have to wait for the app to redraw the app again into the memory slot once it has done that the app will remain in a cache type(hidden) form until you run the app again then it will return to ram in the foreground.

What this script hopes to achieve:
- Entering your PIN with minimal/no delay/lag
- Minimising delay with lock screen pattern/unlock (not the time it takes to wakeup, but the touchscreen response lag)
- Having smoother notifications on the status bar, and smoother pulldown menu response
- Minimising Launcher lag while Media Scanner is running (can scroll through screens without heavy pauses)
- Minimising lag when scrolling through the market while icons are still loading
- Installing/Uninstalling apps while continuing other tasks
- Minimising/eliminating intermittent lag spikes in gaming
- No delay in being able to answer phone calls
... you get the idea

Install via CWM as update.zip ???
Have you tested this? I'm doing backup right now, and I might, but I'm looking at the script, and it says it's for Galaxy S. There's also a part on one of the first lines where you have to specify your launcher. Also, I don't think the scripts it our init.d even begin with "S_..", but rather with a two digit number, e.g. "06swapon".
EDIT: I edited the file to point to my launcher "com.fede.launcher", and touched nothing else. Named it "18smooth" or something of the sort, and put it in /system/etc/inid.d. The system failed to boot(never got past the second "LG" screen. Maybe it's the rom I'm using, but this is not working so far. I hope your promised tutorial is of use.

yes i have tested it and it works i will be uploading a modded one for the update.zip but if you install it just rename it to 97smoothnees, it asks for the launcher you currently are using e.g. adw launcher but if you have any worries wait until tomorrow for the tut
I think this is helping with battery management because my battery seems to be going down slower

when I run psouza4's script after answering questions about what I wanted to keep
It froze right away saying myverizon.apk was read only or something
rebooting... reboot not permitted.
so.. I figured I'd just change that one manually.. changed it, ran it again.. and it froze saying file not found...
so i edited to script to remove that one command/file..
ran it again and i got
"working please wait.....
reboot: operation not permitted"
so I was going to go the titanium route but I can't afford pro version.. also reading through psouza4's thread it notes that some apps will circumvent freezing and load anyway unless renamed..
[q1] does anyone else have this problem with script and if so what was the fix?
[q2] if I have to rename everything manually (a huge pain in the arse) what are the names of the *.apk's associated with
home launcher, motorolas text messaging, widgits, swipe keyboard, ect.. in his list so i don't accidentally remove them?

Ensure usb debugging is on under development in application settings. Verify you are rooted, if not, only motofail will root 906. Else, try using a root browser, or manually make /system and /system/app writable before running the script.

When you loaded the script into script manager, did you check the select to allow the script to run with SU permissions? in other words, you start script manager, you load the debloat script, there are a bunch of options available before you hit the "run" button, one of which allows the script to run with root permissions. My guess is that you missed that, based on what you are describing.
Thanks to everyone who contributed.. :good:
got it to work.. It was afterall allowing to run the script as root as doogald suggested.. can't believe i missed that.
THANKS
