I recently rooted my Droid 1 with One Click and now have Super User access. From there I grabbed an Milestone Overclocking app to simplify speeding up the phone, (as I have mentioned in other threads I am completely out of my element with phones since they don't have a internal combustion engine) as well as Root Exlorer from the market. Then I went into the world of deleting .apk files that I had read here that were unnecessary and completely safe to remove. Along with those I also got rid of, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Amazon MP3. Since this I have not been able to get past "Getting Driving Directions" on my Navigation. I have checked with others I work with and they had some issues as well with Navigation over the past week. Both Droid 1 and 2 users reported the same issues of screen stall to me. As of Friday one of the users of Droid 2 let me know that his Nav was once again working properly, mine is still not. Did I overdo it on deleting and get rid of something that is causing this problem? My Maps still give proper directions from my location, (no matter where I am at the time of testing) but once going into Nav, stalls. If I did get rid of too many how can I get those files back to my phone so everything works again as desired? I am now left with the following .apk files (.odex files as well):

(*) I never input any events into my calendar, but I do like to look ahead at times for planning reasons, do I need all these?
Alright, I will leave you all alone and continue being a gearhead, drinker and general knuckle-dragger until more questions of me are asked or answers are available, thank you all again for all of your help!
hmm....i delete over 100 apps from delfy but if you delete all of it you will lost may fuctions
You wiped too much. Some apps are both app (as per UI for user) as data providers for certain functionality. You can tell that by looking in Manifest but you have to have enough knowledge to judge. Rule of tumb is to always move stuff off-side (i.e. to SD card folder) and not removing directly as you got no way back in case of failure, especially sometimes you may find out something does not work far too late. I wiped crap like GMail or Navigation and other 3rd party useless apps but I'd suggest to stay away from removing apps that may offer ecosystem functionality. Potential savings (like 200KB) vs time wasted on restoration is simply not worth for most cases.
Corp Cal - Corporate Calendar. Requires Exchange server. Probably safe to remove but again - do you *really* needs that to be removed?
Thank you for the info. Where would I be able to find all the original system apps so that I can add them all back and delete more carefully next time?
hey guys,
guess most of you using the autostarts app to improve RAM and battery performance. Can you share what are the apps we can safely disable (under heading "After Startup".
for example can we disable titanium backup, gmail, browser etc as i dont use this immediately. thanks.
what about the other drop downs. there are too many options. anything else we should be doing?
I honestly just stick to white colored text apps and leave the yellow system apps to be.
Think
- Does i use this application?
- Does it cause any problem, if it dont work without my knowledge?
when your answer is NO, just disable it. remember you can operate application any time by launching it, so stopping autostarts doesn't mean you cant use it.
i have stopped
-accuwheather - I dont need to update whether automatically
-AP mobile news - m using my own app Dr.Ketan's News
-Astro
-buddies Now - never used it
-calendar storage, I am using google calendar giving me reminder with SMS n Mail, i never care any device built calendar, just syncing once to see in advance if needed.
-camera , i dont know Y it is needed to start at boot
-contact storage
-Dialler
-Download
-Dropbox
-Email n Gmail - M using yahoo
-Facebook - i dont need push msg(n believe not working perfact too)
-Fring
-Internet
-Market
-S planner
-S memo
-Samsung Account
-Social Hub (as i dont use stock Email)
-Software update(once in while U getting it, i cant afford for that it starts always in background)
-Voice talk
-Titanium backup shud spare if you using schedule backup
-yahoo finance
as well more which i have installed, is no meaning to describe, as all have own list.
This list will give you two gigs to play with instead of the stock 200mb (or was it 400mb?). If you are feeling skippy, get a high speed micro-sd card and your apps there. Link2SD also has a wonderful option to swap different programs (read: updates) from the data to system partition.

Thanks for this list!
Odd, removed almost everything from the safe to remove list, and only gave me a little over 200 MB free.... did i miss something?
Unlike Windows which uses a file manager as a shell, Android uses a hardware, driver and software environment. You will need to use a few tools (ah development!) to access most areas of Android. Link2SD will work for our purposes. Using the reboot method here will leave you some files on both your system and data partitions. Between the two is about 2 gigs, but it is more like 1.7gigs. Move everything to your system partition. The proper way to do this, is to use the system partition for critical or system files - I would use this for anything important too. You will need to integrate files updated via the Google Play Store into your system partition - someone needs to build an app that does this automatically or a cleaner or something. Use your data partition for temporary storage or for games. Not all apps can be transferred to the ad card, keep this in mind when going on a download binge getting all of your favorite apps under one roof. It will be a pain in the neck transferring files between partitions. Large apps will prove to be a problem if their data is cover the space requirements on your phone are insufficient. I think there is an app to transfer data from apps to the we care or mount something like the Bob folder there, I am unfamiliar with it, but I believe it is similar to a Linux function where mounted folders can have shared links.
I am under the impression HTC made this phone as a disposable unit or for those that want to get under the hood. E.G. there are over 2gigs of under-the-hood system files taking up space. The most obvious being sound files which can't be accessed via normal file manager as audio files. Deleting theme would consolidate space etc. I have yet to entertain the idea and have yet to reboot this far. It is promising as such rooms like cyanogen are 200-500mb and stock is like 800mb sand stock unloaded iirc is 1.4gb.
During my initial tests between freezing apps to see if it affected system stability or not, I had one fly under the radar - TetherGuard is used to activate tether. I've updated the list to reflect this, but my current build doesn't have it - I'm looking into restoring it without having to resort to a backup.
Please keep this in mind when debugging your phone; you should always have a master backup and a backup of your latest build on your SD-Card or computer. Incremental builds are a must.
In other news, I've found a way to remove the ringtones to further debloat your phone - there is an app called "Ringtone Remover" at the Google Play store. It will restore about 25mbs of free space. That is an app right there folks!

if your saying what I think you are, Titanuim Backup does this. "Integrate Updates into Rom" or something.... Ive heard that it can break things in the stock (and stock based) roms though. Hope this helps
I've gone in and booted to a write enabled kernel then went on and deleted bloatware previously undeleteable and moved my main programs to the system partition. From there, id ankles to recover able 400 MB in the data partition with still having about 600 MB in my system partition and I can report no issues whatsoever. I removed almost everything in the list that's safe except for a couple things I want to keep and installed and updated things previously unable to like busybox. Rebooted and was back on the factory kernel and everything works perfectly. Made a system backup before ask this incase anything went wrong. Once everything was working, I made a backup of how things are after debloating and now I have the perfect system. Phone is running without issues. Maybe I'll make a detailed tutorial after I remember how I tried it first lol.

Did you lose your dialer along the way? or did I just hit it by accident? either way when I got done my dialer was gone (replaced with whatever was handy in the playstore so no biggie)
No. Didn't lose thatm good things about backing everything up is if you mess up, is all still good
One observation, if you remove the Qualcom iZat, you will have issues with location services. I would highly suggest not removing that.
Can anyone send me fusedlocation apk I uninstalled it by accident now my widget on my home screen doesn't work. Thanks

I accidentally deleted my stock download manager for HTC Desire 620 (single SIM)

This list will give you two gigs to play with instead of the stock 200mb (or was it 400mb?). If you are feeling skippy, get a high speed micro-sd card and your apps there. Link2SD also has a wonderful option to swap different programs (read: updates) from the data to system partition.

I accidentally deleted my stock download manager for HTC Desire 620 (single SIM) with Root Uninstaller and now I cannot download anything on play store and Internet. I had to unroot and factory reset my device thinking it would restore the download manager app but it did not. I really don't know what to do right now. Please I need your help.
Thanks in anticipation.
sideload it?

I have very limited knowledge here, I can't get much done without following a tutorial... That said, I would try finding the downloader APK and sideloading it. Let me know if you can't find the APK, and I'll see if I can rip mine for you.
Edit: Clarification... The apk. I will rip my apk for you. Nothing else of mine will be ripping.. Thank you.
I borked the fork like a dork
I accidentally deleted HTC Bluetooth Share instead of Bluetooth le profiles and now my Bluetooth doesn't work. Anybody got the apk for that?

I ripped my download manager apk for you. It's from the Desire 510 but it should work for you. This is from my Google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OWHYmRl_noARt1TRmCJpItJksDbGCYX1/view?usp=drivesdk
So why not clean up our device a bit (just to make some sense to root)
On the attached screenshots you can see that after a clean firmware reflash there is 3.13Gb free space on the device. As soon as you update those apps (only those, nothing else was installed, only stock and google apps) you will only have 1.72Gb free space (i mean wtf???). However i've deleted all the apps one-by-one to see what can be deleted without causing any harm and that way i managed to have 3.18Gb free space (kinda useless, cos i deleted google play store and the photo app as well... just for testing purposes)
So here is the list you can delete and your phone will still boot up without any error messages:
(use a file manager that can handle your root folders and delete them)
system/apps folder:
you can delete any apps from here that's been ever updated since the updated apps will be stored in the data/apps folder and these "stock" apks are not used anymore but apps will be working without any issue.
if you want to totally get rid of an app you can uninstall it from options/apps (sometimes there will be only the disable option but it will totally delete them if you deleted manually from the system/apps folder) - stop the application first and delete its cache and data if you don't want some useless files to stay on your device.

Naturally you better make backups (just copy) of each folder you delete and if you ever want to put it back watch out for permissions of the files! Also you be sure about what you delete, maybe it's used by some other apps...
If you find anymore, feel free to share with us and i'll update the OP
1 - Fix Google map location and navigation errorGo to Settings / Apps & services/ Apps
- Google Play Services/ Permissions/ Location : Turn on Precise location and Allow only while in use
2 - Fix Huawei automatically stopping apps when not in useHuawei has its own way to increase battery life to save battery. So sometimes it interrupts applications that need to be running all the time to get instant information, such as Gmail, Facebook, Messenger.... To fix that we need to drill down into the settings in the settings :
Go to Settings / Privacy / Permission manager and Click on the 4 dots in the upper right corner
- Select : Special access
- Select Battery optimization
- Put a check mark in the Search apps box
- Click the triangle and select : All apps
- Select the applications that you want not to be turned off when the device sleeps ( For example Gmail, Facebook, Messenger...) and check the box Don't allow and then click OK
3 - Uninstall and reinstall the app-
We are using unofficial Google services so after every test install of Google or key Google components like Google Services and Google Services Framework we have to uninstall and reinstall those Google related applications such as Gmail, Youtube, Map.......
-It is possible that after installing changes to Google Services, the Google Services Framework those applications will still run but it will not be accurate and smooth. So it is still recommended to Uninstall and Reinstall those apps.
4 - Sync Chrome with Gmail Account
-If you already have Chrome installed then uninstall it. Before uninstalling you should Go to Settings / Apps & services/ Apps/ Chrome delete its data
-Install Chrome from Play store or apk file
-After the installation is done, do not open it-Go to Settings / Apps & services/ Apps/ Chrome/ Permissions
Allow all permissions, if you don't like it, you must grant 2 basic permissions: Contacts and Media and files
- Now you open the Chrome app and it will link to your Gmail account
5 - Disable system apps that don't work for non-Chinese users
The device works very smoothly and coolly, the battery life is significantly improved.
You use the tool ADB AppControl 1.7.9 to do that. :
