I read a certain thread last night from beginning to end both had good points from both sides that made me think a little bit and i thought i would put this list of apk files together real quick hoping it might help some people out there.
I take no credit for any of these what so ever! it is just a list of apk files I have gathered from my learning and flashing of my own personal phone.
thank you to all the devs out there for putting together all the roms, themes, hacks, tweaks, fixes and all that you do! I greatly appreciate all of you and all of your work! and dealing with people like me (junior member) and our noob questions.
Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible for anything that goes wrong with your phone from flashing these. I am not responsible for what you choose to do with your phone.
Well with all that said here is the list:
(seems i can only upload so much at one time so this is broke up into several posts)
more apks......
more apks........
MOOOORE......
still more...
more!!!!!!!!!!
ive done a lot of flsshing as you can see
cuz i got more!!!
i sure hope this helps someone cuz it definitly taking some time lol
still going.....
still more.....
and more...
this is it all done for now.

thx but i suppose they will have to just try and see if it works (and hopefully they do a backup first) for those then cuz i honestly have no idea what its from ive done plenty of flashing on my phone (some froyo and some ginger) and got these over time when they were included with whatever i flashed.
Just pull which ever version you have on your phone now and replace it

isnt SetCPU 2.24 a paid app..
SetCPU
as for the rest of the apps wouldnt it be easier to have bundled them all together in a zip folder and have users download from megaupload or other fileshare websites.
EDIT*
But you can download 2.24 setCPU on that link from the developer?
im confused..
The dev gave it away for free to any one who bothered to look on xda first so it should be okay unless he specially said were not allowed to distribute on xda

I think you are supposed to redirect to the original thread for set cpu. There are many better apps for OC'ing anyways.
are these all themed or something? seems that quite a few are already readily available in the market.
are these all themed or something? seems that quite a few are already readily available in the market.
They r not themed, in op this is just what I've collected over some time and thought I would share it with all of xda, there is just about every stock apk that comes with the epic out of the box. in case for example someone flashes a rom and wants the stock "feedsnupdates widget" back after flashing now they can get it easily. I thought this might help some devs out there not to have to answer some questions repeatedly in a rom thread. The others I just had so posted all of them. If u don't need/want any of these don't download it, should u ever though beause u flashed a rom and want something that wasn't included it in then u might find it here.

the post says it all. i am a noob when it comes to bionic and want to free up my memory (internal) what would be the EASIEST way to accomplish this?directions please with sugar on top.
Root Explorer... navigate to /system/app.
I always make a folder on my SD like "SystemApps" then I move what I don't want out to that folder as opposed to just deleting them, just in case I find out something is acting weird or needed.
"Some" of the bloat can be uninstalled via the built in App Manager also.

This really should not be in the development section. Until we have a way to back everything up via recovery the only way you can do anything like that is through rooting and using Titanium backup. You can either freeze or uninstall any app. I would not uninstall anything without backing it up first. All I have done is freeze some bloatware so I do not have to see it in the app list. You can really f up your phone if you remove the wrongs stuff. A there is a list somewhere of which apps you can freeze without issues.

THIS!!!
I am no where near an expert as some of the Devs in these forums, but I went through a lot of ROMs on my old Eris. Every time, though, I had a Nand backup to go to if/when I screwed up.
Now that I have a nice, new, shiny Bionic I will not root until there is an SBF to allow a return to stock. Yep, people like P3Droid, and others, have successfully rooted and debloated. All it takes, though, is some little glitch, power spike or otherwise, to screw things up. Actually, reading a few forums there are more than a few that have already bricked or really hamstrung their $600 phone by just rooting and borking around trying to debloat.
Patience people. Within 2, 3, 4 weeks I'm sure one of our Dev wizards will have a failsafe method ... WITH BACKUP RESTORE CAPABILITIES.
I just group up my apps to eliminate viewing the bloat. My phone is fine. Fools rush in, for sure.
On a side note: I've seen a couple people mention on other forums that they have bricked their phones and committed fraud by returning their smoldering remnants back to Verizon. Slackers.

What did you use to back up your bionic?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
I'm guessing Titanium Backup. But here's my question.... Is it safer to 'freeze' bloatware instead of moving it into a new folder on your SD card?
As long as you don't delete it when you move it then either option is good from my experience worth moto phones
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
Ok I have done both renamed bloat files .bak and moved them into their own folder in my sdcard , my question is how do I free up internal memory? When I do either of those sure it removes then from my application drawer but it doesn't free up any memory?

You may have uninstalled the Yahoo contacts. You can find a System App dump from here: http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/tbh-discussion-forum/9081-droid-bionic-system-dumps-partial.html

It's always safer to freeze the bloatware. This way if your phone starts to act up, all you have to do is defrost whatever you froze.
That did the trick thanks Idk why Yahoo is tired to that process.

I deleted a bunch of bloat ware but it doesn't say that I cleared up any internal memory anybody know why?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I know this is opinionated, but what apps are bloatware? Let's say I have all the apps I want to use already on a backup and I am starting the Bionic clean. What can I uninstall or move that won't mess up the phone?
There is a list of files ok and not ok to delete at androicentral.com check it out great source.

We've also compiled a list over at AF for your perusal. Messenger13 has added his own commentary as to what he did and did not remove and why.

Is there a list of stock apps that are safe to remove out there? I already removed the At&T apps and Google apps and others I don't use. I basically wanna keep the stock system but strip it down. Also are there any custom settings I can change in Rom Toolbox listed anywhere known to have good results?

Use titanium backup and freeze all att apps and or bloat you don't want. And if something dosent work you can always defrost it. I have every bloat app froze. And what settings are you referring to on rom toolbox?
Sent from my Rage MATRIX HD MAXX
OK thanks. The settings I'm talking about are the CPU tweaks (sysctl & governor) and build.prop. I'm just wondering if there are any good guidance. On my old Atrix 4G I just relied on custom roms pre-configurations so I don't know much on those things. I've been looking around but so far the answers have eluded me. Maybe I'm searching wrong.

Try Googling "what are the benefits of rooting". If you're interested in starting to modify your device, start getting use to plenty nights of research. 97% of all your questions will already be answered and easily available.

Rooting will give you access to lot of new Custom Roms and it will make your device up to date. . Its just like you modifying your car with different different engines to make it better. If any lags then that is taken care of with custom ROMs... And many more....

Not exactly, all rooting does, is essentially gives you "Admin" rights to the system, to change/add things to the system as you see fit.
If I take you car analogy, it would be more like this "You have a car, and you need to get to a part of the engine that is covered by a panel, but you need a special screwdriver to open it", rooting is the equivalent of you getting that screwdriver.
Nothing has actually change to the car, other than you can now get access to parts you couldn't before.
Technically for Samsung devices at least, you don't even need to be rooted to install a modified ROM, as there are guys out there, capable of creating ROMs that are pre-rooted and will flash to your device like an official variant using Odin.
Custom ROMs in the zip variety, can only be flashed with a custom recovery, which as yet, does not exist for the GC and neither do any custom firmware builds.
But to answer the OP, I am rooted and I have done things like change the DPI of the screen to something that I personally find more appealing to use. As well as add photoshpere abilities to the camera. You could when rooted, delete / disable pre-installed apps that you don't need or use.
But equally you could also break things rather easily too, if you mess around with things you shouldn't.

This is more of the answer I was looking for, as far as rooting goes I do have experience with my other devices ie Sgs 3, Note 10.1 & Note 2. I really was more interesed in the GC specifically as its a new device to me.
Could you please tell me more about what you have done with the DPI change ie what benefit does it give?
Other than photo spheres is there any other goodies to be had?

If you check out the 2 pics I've attached, one is the standard dpi the other is set to 240.
As you can see the icons are smaller and the screen looks less "Teletubby" lol.

Now that I have root, and can at least flash zips through OpenRecoveryScript, I have been thinking about what I want out this rom, but got me thinking about an idea. While we have kitchens in the past, I do not think anyone has ever done a web-based kitchen. i.e. select the options you want on a web-page and it compiles the zip in the background and then lets you download.
This has been done for years in the programming industry for frameworks (jquery, etc)..
Anyways... Here are some ideas of my dream rom
Options
carousel mode
Screen on with text
Remove HTC apps (Blink Feed, Kid Mode, etc)
Remove stock apps (Mail, browser, etc)
Remove all languages except one you use
Move Google apps outside of /system/ that way they can be added and deleted as needed.
Remove live wall papers
Add common community apps such as Wi-F Tether, etc
Basically build a base rom with the stand rom featuers, zip-aligned, de-odexed, tweaks, etc...
I know alot of this is an option with AROMA installer, but by doing it this way, it makes the download that much smaller.....
Thoughts??
I vote we go for kernel source and get CM, omni, carbon, cfxperiment ect going Personal opinion
I'll add to the list
Alternative (or combine) LTE/Spark icons
Alternative battery icon with %
Remove NFC icon
Xposed Installer
Exchange Security Bypass

Well, for stock, I'd love everything removed that you could get from the play store, and a folder separate with removed apps if you wanted them.
Aroma is cool and all, but takes longer than this method.
Configurable buttons and long press options.
Oh, and an amazing kernel!
I made a stripped down rom for the gs3 called BareBones and I'll probably make a similar rom for this phone as well.
Beanstalk, my dd from the jewel. But it is CM based so we need that first.

auto hide soft keys - like when you launch the camera app.

Dude, I remember you from the Evo 3D days. I see you're still trolling around....
For what its worth Myn now has a HTC one M8 and may start developing again. For those that remember Warm rom will know his work quality. He is on VZW now but I will try to help as much as I can with mine. Him coming back to HTC is what motivated me to loose the Nexus 5 and return to HTC.
I would like to see the app drawer smooth scroll instead of by pages....I hate haveing to stretch for a icon at the top of screen when I could have had it in middle or more accessible
