I removed mine using fresh kitchen. If you don't want to mess with adb commands, its the way to go.

Is it possible to remove any of the bloat ware- NFL, IM, etc if we were stupid and used the official RUU that hasnt been rooted yet?
I'm regretting that decision majorly- I'd forgotten about how much stock BS sprint has.

No.
The ability to delete stock applications from either HTC or Sprint can only been achieved via a rooted device. Sorry, but your SOL for the time being.

use root explorer or manager from the phone itself, or android commander from pan piotr on this site, they are all utitilites i never leave home w/o. O, i forgot, i dont really leave that oftenXD or if its in gbits package just reflash or reinstall it to see if the problem is resolved...yay youre back. I heard everyone here saying how they missed you. THE PRECEDING SENTENCE IS FALSE. I missed you though aaaaaaaaaa JK!!!!!!!!!!! I have some stuff for you, ill pm when i get a chance.
I usually go through adb and rm the programs I don't want, however if you are using titanium backup, you can uninstall programs from there as well and that's as easy IMO.

Pretty sure it will but I have never used it. I use the adb commands in terminal. If your phone is rooted that will work perfectly. The commands are posted by Mr. Danger 7 posts above you.
After much google searching, and searching here on XDA, I'm at a loss. I have the Allshare.apk and .odex, however I have had no luck installing them. I've tried various suggesions, including pushing them from adb shell, and nothing seems to work.
I would love to continue using custom roms, but not having Allshare is a big reason for me to just use rooted stock. The rom I'm trying to install it on is Cognition Beta (Froyo).
Titanium Backup also doesn't work for this. It tells me that it backed up Allshare, but when I try to install it, the restore button doesn't even show up.
Also, a quick question for Rom Manager. With the rom backup feature, can you only restore a backup for the rom you are using? (i.e if you want to restore a backup for another rom, you have to flash the rom first, then restore?)
Although posted in the wrong forum... I'd also like an answer to this. Running CDE and would really like to have AllShare to stream movies off my media server.

Not sure why this would be the wrong forum. I'm using a Captivate, and trying to install Allshare on a Captivate rom.
use root explorer and add them to System/app and paste both files there.
reboot your device, and voila

Still at square one. Altho the .apk and .odex are now in system/apps, it didn't affect anything. Also, looked up root explorer, and how to use it, then downloaded it. It won't remount my main file system as read only...so it's permanently in r/w now.
Also tried flashing to killer23d's rom, to use titanium backup on the allshare he has in his rom, still wouldn't work.
So....clueless at this point.

At one point, I had this same problem, and the only solution there is, is to reflash the rom. It's a PITA, I know. And don't worry about what your filesystem is mounted as in Root Explorer. After every reboot it reverts to read only again.

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be my case. Even after reflashing Cognition, my file system is still R/W. Didn't even have to hit the white button on root explorer to paste files into system/app.
Also, adding dlna.apk and dlna.odex into system/app still isn't giving me Allshare.
Edit: Well, I've found a better solution. I'm gonna go with Killer23d's rom...looks alot more like stock Froyo, is based on the I9000, has Allshare, AND Mobile AP. Both features that I wanted.
Thanks for trying guys. If anyone does come up with a solution tho, please feel free to use this thread, as searching for allshare.apk on google results in this thread being either the 2nd or 3rd search result (can't remember).
Works for me.
I just put AllShare back in, using the attached file, and it's working fine.
I'm running Cognition 2.2 Beta 9.1.3 and put the file into "system\app" using Root Explorer.
I also changed the permissions of the file and selected just the following:
USER = READ + WRITE
GROUP = READ
OTHERS = READ
Remove any other checked permissions.
In case you don't know how to get into the permissions, just long-press the file, from within Root Explorer, and choose "Permissions" from the list that pops up.
Don't forget to reboot right after.
Your issue is most likely because you are trying to reintegrate an odex'ed AllShare while you are using a de-odex'ed ROM. Ozone777's file looks to be about the correct size for a de-odex'ed AllShare. Just move it into the /system/app folder with root explorer as mentioned above and you should be good to go.
I used terminal to drop the APK attached in the previous post into /system/app and it works beautifully. CogYo 2.2.9

What program are you using to find it? You need something like root explorer which is a file system available on the market which gives you access to files you can not see with my files. It us not free but is very useful.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
i am not using any program. i am just connecting my phone to the computer and going into the command prompt...and then it tells me to pull settings.db i can't find it anywhere.
Do you have your phone rooted?
yes i do justmde
To use that command you need adb google it and will tell you how to install. Or you can use super manger from the market its free to get to the file. Be careful if you don't know what your doing you. I would read up om odin. One click and make sure you have the bottom combos just in case.
I am not too familiar with the command approach, but if you have root explorer you can navigate to your dbdata, darabases, com.android.providers.settings. Inside there us the file you are looking for. You can copy and paste it to you're internal sd. Then hook up to your computer and transfer the file to your pc. I believe you have to open some table and change a zero to a one. Save then drag back into your phone. Copy, paste back into the original directory where you found it. Over write, reboot.
Or you may consider a custom rom, all have this enabled, and have additional perks. Just saying, it is only a matter of time.

the main point that i wanna do..is i wanna go back to 2.1 and just save all of my apps and the progress in my apps. can somebody please message me or AIM me and walk me through???
I am completely new to this too man. I just rooted and enabled sideloading in about 10 minutes without even connecting my phone to a comp.
I'm not sure if it will work without installing the unleashthebeast thing, but to enable sideloading i just downloaded android terminal emulator from the market, opened it, typed in su, hit enter, then typed "sideloading". phone rebooted and now i can sideload.
Hello. I rooted my Atrix and have had no problems. I deleted most of the bloatware. I also put the settings in for the apn and access wifi hotspot via this forum.
Just a couple minutes ago, I plugged in the HDMI cable to show my mother some stuff on the phone and how the Media Center is but it wouldnt come up. It came up before I did all the root. But now, when plugged in it would pop up on my screen asking what to select and then it would go away. Can someone help me on what possibly might have happened? I would really appreciate this. Thank you so much.
Nick
sounds like you deleted something when you were removing the bloatware.
as advised in other threads, don't remove it, freeze it with titamium backup.
do a factory reset and pray it comes back.
It wont come back after a factory reset so....what you have to do is get the retail motoblur dump file and push the apks to the phone using ADB. Remember to push them to the sytem not /data.
Thank desigegears for telling me this.

Yes I did a factory reset and it didnt come back. I just read the thread that talked about that uptop after I did this. I feel so bad. I screwed up. How do I get the Retail Motoblur dump file? And pushing the APKs to the phone using ADB. I havent done this in a while. Please any help I would really appreciate it.
One of the devs posted it on the forum, not sure where. MAybe on page two? just scroll down. To push them to adb, designgears posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966405 which shows how to push files. Just push the mediacenter one.
Thank you for the info. Im downloading a file where the dump said Blur_Version.4.1.26.MB860.ATT.en.US.tar.gz is that correct? It was in this forum. But the fileformat I dont know what to open that up with. Its like 145MB. I had to PM Designgears because I really dont know how to do this. I would just need the 1 file? I do have the phone rooted with Root Explorer. Anyway I can get the file on the phone and cut and paste it in the right path?
Ok that was the right file. I do have the mediacenter.apk file now. Anyway I can put this on there with the phone rooted? I have root Explorer and can paste that apk in there.
Use 7 zip to open the file. Got to the app folder and find the one named media center. Push that file or paste it into /system

No problemo
1. Change input method to any other keyboard.
2. In the /system/app folder, delete Swype.apk
3. In the /system/lib folder, delete libSwypeCore.so
4. In the /data/data folder, delete the com.swype.xxx folder
5. In the /data/dalvik-cache folder, delete the [email protected]@swype.... file.
6. REBOOT OR IT WON't INSTALL PROPERLY
7. Install and run the swype beta installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Installer link here http://db.tt/cD8HXlI
You also can rename the files to .xx.bak so you have a backup. This works 100% for me on Com Rom 2 after just installing today so I don't know how this will work on systems that have been used daily for a while.
I take no part if none of this works and permanently deletes swype from your phone. Your own fault.

I completely agree with you, its a complete improvement from the last version. The word suggestion window is gone and moved to a frame above the keyboard, word prediction is way more accurate, swyping is more accurate, etc.
I'm a big swype user, so thanks for the instructions...may give this a whirl.
Where can I find the swype beta installer?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
http://beta.swype.com
The biggest change (other than tablet support) with Swype 3 isn't even the much improved suggestion window or the faster and more accurate swiping: it's that Swype now does predictive tapping too.
No more need to switch between Swype and the stock keyboard or SwiftKey if you aren't in a swiping mood. That's why their tagline for 3.0 is - and I'm not making this up, just watch their promo videos - "Stroke it AND poke it."
So what color is the new swype?
Edit: My sywpe expired so im being forced to update. Instructions worked perfectly thnx.
Thanks for the instructions. Worked perfectly. Now to get used to the slightly different interface...
Thanks for putting this little tutorial out there cuz after updating to UKB2.1 the swype keyboard stopped working
I admit I might not the most brainy person when it comes to this
Had a heck of a time figuring out how to remove those system files... finally resorted to Root Explorer (paid app) to remove these files (I am sure there was a way to do it without, but I refer you to the above comment)
For some reason the swype beta likes to be authenticated twice...
and after the second authentication process, I made sure to reboot before using the keyboard...
so far it is working and I like the new keyboard... (I had better since it would take me another whole afternoon to figure out how to install the old swype keyboard)
thanks again and keep up the good work

Glad you got it worked out, but wanted to let you know not to feel bad about going to root explorer. You will likely find that you have a lot of uses for it - there is a LOT that goes on round here that having root explorer makes life a lot easier to follow...
Enjoy!
I just updated to 2.1 and my swype crapped out on me too. I've tried everything to get it working, but nothing works.
I've been trying to delete the swype.apk and other files instructed here, but they won't delete. 'don't have permission," "read only" or "Cannot Delete." I'm using Root Explorer too, and trying to switch Mount r/o to r/w, and it won't change! Someone help me! I'm going through Swype withdrawls already!
What program is everyone using to locate and delete files?
BTW, I've switched keyboards before I try to delete, still no luck.
neotrixy,
i remember having similar difficulty
try changing [mount r/o] button before you select the app you want to delete,
couldn't find a another protected system app to delete to try this again, but I was able to switch the mount button back and forth by pressing the grey button at the top of the screen
hope this helps
ps- i did find that someone posted a swype fix in the UKB thread (not sure if it works)... it is way back in the thread... but i had already switched to beta before i found it
No, i think already mentioned, for whatever reason, the button won't change to r/w. It's stuck on r/o. I don't know what the problem is, I've never had a problem like this before.
Thanks for the help though!
Any other ideas?
I think i got it fixed...I downloaded a newer version of Root Explorer, and it let me change the r/w.
Thanks guys!
ok,
It sounds like your Root Explorer program has not been granted superuser permissions yet.
I can't remember when it asked for those permissions, check in your superuser icon to see if Root Explorer is listed in there and has a green circle next to it.
I have been looking in looking around in the Root Explorer menus but don't see anything
I hope it is as easy as clicking the allow button in superuser, if not my other thought would be to uninstall and reinstall Root Explorer to see if it will ask for superuser permissions when you open it up.
good luck
Yes
Thanks for your help. I was so frustrated with Verizon having made that (or so they thought) permanent. That is so stupid they want their people stuck with an old version. Appreciate all your help. God bless in Jesus' Name.
