[Q] Bloatware removal affecting NFL app relationship - Motorola Droid Bionic

I recently removed some of the Verizon bloatware....pretty much every "Verizon titled" app other than navigator , My Verizon and the NFL app...Now I cannot log into the NFL app or My Verizon (It just keeps defaulting to the Forgot password page) ...Is it because i removed something I shouldn't have in the bloatware???or completely unrelated. If so is there a way to get those apps back?? I have tried uninstalling and re installing the apps as well??

All VZ apps
Actually it is all the Verizon apps I cannot log into now that I rooted....

Try clearing data on the "verizon single sign on engine" app using titanium backup.

Or reinstalling/unfreezing that app if you got rid of it.

Missing applications from my apps in market

I own a nexus one, and after upgrading to gingerbread, some applications which are installed such as dolphin browser and soundhound are installed but are not listed as installed on the market and thus I don't get update notifications for them.
I tried to clear data on the market app to re sync the installed apps but it had been disabled on gingerbread
Can anyone shed some light please?
Thanks in advance,

Do they at least appear on the market?
Yes, I even re-installed the apps, still not showing in my apps though.

same issue here with me, but i'm on CM7 -rc1
i've cleared the market cache and that doesnt seem to help.
I'm using stock GRI 40

You might be able to use Titanium Backup's "Market Doctor" function to re-establish the application links to the Market, though I believe that requires root.
Give it some times, they'll probably come back on it's own.
If not use Market Doctor like suggested, that might or might not solve it.
It has happened to me here and there and usually fix itself.
Another thing you can try is download an app, any app (something free that can be delete afterward) and see if that bring the missing apps back.

be more specific, which error?
You have to call 611 and make sure that they have provisioned your phone for accessing the service. Since the device has an imei not registered as an AT&T phone.
I found that there are two smartphone plans, both priced the same. One has VVM and the other does not. Both will work everything the same, the only difference is only the VVM plan supports VVM. I had issues with VVM and the store rep fixed that for me.
Rather than start a new thread let me bump this old one to the top (since it has the perfect title already) .
I am getting force closes all of the sudden.
I deleted a message and it FC'ed.
I stopped the service, stopped the app, cleared app cache, cleared data, rebooted, cleared phone cache, cleared dalvik, rebooted, same issue.
Could not restore from titanium. Titanium does have root and i can restore apps from unknown sources. but titanium reports "app not installed".
I reinstalled *just data* from titanium and at least the app launched with no FC. But as soon as a new message came and i deleted it, back to FC city.
Just started out of the blue, working fine until today.
ATT VVM version 2.3.32. OS is Stock 2.17.401.1 as posted by mike1986.
Anyone?
update, i did fix titanium issue (it was an old version of titanium) so i can now restore the old version of ATT VVM. But it still FC's.
may reinstall ROM..
wow this sucks, reinstalled ROM, even tried a much older version as explained in post 9 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146983
no good

I have stock Dev Edition with stock recovery and just had the AT&T Gmail app FC on me today for the first time.
I uninstalled / reinstalled and has worked ok so far.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
you mean at&t *voicemail* app?
Tried converting to a system app. (Won't even run in safe mode.) Uninstalled antivirus. Nothing so far.
After reinstalling data-only in titanium you get a notification in the status bar showing you have a message (the welcome message). You can launch the app from the status bar and it works fine (until you delete the message). If you launch it from the app drawer it FC's right away
I guess I could call ATT and re provision the mailbox?
I was sort of hoping not to blow /data. But if worst comes to worst I guess I'll do a factory reset..
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I'll just keep adding to the saga: factory reset does not help.
I wiped data, reinstalled ROM, and then before even signing in to any accounts, just sideloaded the latest att VVM apk. Force closed on a virgin system.
Am I missing something here? If you wipe data and reinstall a totally stock ROM, that's about as much as you can do on the phone side right? It seems like the problem is in the cloud. It's like my voicemail box is possessed. May have to call ATT.
I'll check the ATT forums but usually there is more traffic here.
Sigh. I hate it when things I use a lot just stop working and there is no obvious workaround.
Lol, fixed now: ATT updated the app yesterday from 2.3.32 (poison) to 2.3.33 (fixed).
I discovered this this morning, but not before I had called ATT to delete the entire mailbox and re-provision. All previous versions of their app, new and old, *still* force closed at that point. All hope seemed lost.
Then I visited the play store and noticed the most recent revision date *there* was July 18 and under "what's new" they said "fixes a bug that was causing the application to crash when opened on certain devices" and the angels sang and we all lived happily ever after blah blah
Troubleshooting that bug was a lot of hassle for nothing. ATT can suck my b---
EDIT .. but at least they fixed it

Play Store Error

I have searched and called high and low all over Google and talked to reps. Can't seem to kick this Error Code 403. It is only the paid apps that won't download. Tried all sorts of methods of clearing cache to play store, Google services, Google framework, Uninstall updates, Factory resets, Removing accounts and re adding. Clearing cache in recovery. All with restarting before attempting a redownload on both WiFi and mobile networks. Please someone help. Out of the box it does this to me and it sucks.

Had very similar happen with my Mega right out of the box. Not even the techs coukd figure it out.
I went into app manager and force closed app first, then cleared its data and cache.
Go back out and started up play store like normal. Cant remember if I got error first time, but okayed it and started it again. Then it loaded in and havent had issue since

Update the latest version of play store.
Did you have multiple Google accounts on your last phone? Make sure you are downloading the app with the same account that you originally made the purchase with. I had multiple accounts on my S3, then when I got my S5 I only put one of the accounts back on and was getting this error for a few apps even though GPlay said "purchased". You might also want to check that the date and time on the phone are correct.

You were absolutely correct. For some reason some of my purchased apps were showing on the wrong account under the all section. It went away after wiping and being careful which account I downloaded from. Thanks for the help guys.

Just use only one account in play store. don't do multiple.

Apps safe to Freeze/Delete on AT&T GS5

Ok guys, I hope this helps some if not all of you. This is a list , or pictures, of apps that i usually delete or freeze depending on the app. Applications that may be used in the future like "AT&T Software Update" might be wise to just freeze. Applications like "Beats", unless you use them, I would delete them. If you are unsure of what applications to delete or freeze, it is safer to just freeze the application, as this leaves the application installed on your phone but it is no longer running in the background. When looking at the pictures, the pictures with items with a line accross, this are apps I uninstalled, the other ones are frozen. that are Many applications in the Google Playstore allow you to freeze or delete system apps, but I find Titanium Backup Pro to be more direct and easier to use.
DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility if you brake your phone, or find your balls after debloating the $#it out of your Galaxy S5.
List:
Safe to Freeze:
AT&T Hot Spots
AT&T Software Update
BlurbCheckout
Chrome
com.sec.android.app.sbrowserty
Device Help
ELM Agent
Email
Exchange Services
Gmail
Google+
Hangouts
Internet
Keeper
KLMS Agent
KNOX
KNOX Notification Manager
Mobile TV
My Files (ONLY if you have a third party file manager)
My Magazine
S Helath
Samsung Push Service
Smart Remote
Swype
Talkback
YP
Apps to delete
Use with caution, if you don't know it is safer to freeze.
waplauncher
AT&T Digital Locker
AT&T Messages
AT&T Mobile Recovery
AT&T Navigation
Beats Music
com.cequint.ccid (This is the ID caller app. can't remember the actual name)
ChatOn
AT&T Drive Mode
Flipboard
Google Books
Google Games
Google music
Google Magazines
Lookout Antivirus
Polaris Office
imsqmisocket (Can't remember the actual name)
Media
Hopes this helps. If it did hit "thanks"
It'd be more helpful if you made a list

Have you tried freezing S-Voice? That app is single handedly keeping me from buying an S5. I hate S-Voice with a passion and every time I get a Samsung phone, I put so much time and effort into disabling it, but it never goes completely away.
I deleted s voice
I was thinking a list would be better because when you delete certain apps they change the name

You didn't have to wait for root to disable S-Voice, was possible right out of the box to disable it.
this is weird, I just rooted my s5 using towelroot and installed chainfire's SU then installed TiBu pro with no problem but when I tried deleting some at&t bloatware like at&t navigator.. it keeps giving this "cannot delete system app, unable to locate apk file"..anyone encountered this?
Is there another app that can freeze the AT&T OTA? I have app freeze and app quarantine and it doesn't give me the option to freeze it.
I don't have TiBu pro yet, maybe I'll buy it next month. Are there any temporary solutions to stop with the OTA?

Force stopping the service and renaming the APK in the /system folder should work (e.g. 'softwareupdater.apk.dontrun'). I don't know what the file name of the updater is though, so you will have to do some research.
freeze/delete
i have deleted all apps on the delete list and my phone is booting faster, and i have no issues and i have turned off some of the apps too since i dont have the paid version of titanium backup. all is fine.
Im pretty sure deleting system apps ruins your chance of getting an OTA update in the future, should you choose to want one eventually. I wouldnt delete any system apps. Freezing is fine.

but at&t navigator isnt a system app, I just dont understand why TiBu sees this as a system app and cannot locate the apk. I have turned off this app including other bloatware even before we achieved root but I want to completely remove them

this is my first android smartphone and only my second smartphone (first being iphone 3gs). I was wondering if someone knew what the apk name and location was so that I could at least for the moment rename the updater services so I don't have to worry about getting an update. I know most people talk about titanium backup and some other paid apps but currently I don't have the money to go that route.
I am still learning this and I tried to search to see if someone had any good alternatives to TiBu but I didn't find any results. I saw some things on the Verizon section but none of those files they mentioned were on the AT&T phones (and I was hesitant to assume they would share the same updater service).

This can be disabled using the normal Android app manager. TiBu can't find the apk because the app isn't technically installed on your phone, yet. If you tried launching the app, it takes you to the google play store to download and install.

No, because you can just factory reset and have it back.
be careful please do not tick ultra power saving mode after rooting and removing some apps, it has not been tracked to exactly what is causing it but it is happening to a few of us.
I removed the standard AT&T ****, isis wallet, the google crap i dont use and a few others with titanium, tested it out for a few hours worked great, had apex installed as the default launcher,
CLICKED ultra power saving mode to test it.. POW on reboot phone loads to only a black and white AT&T logo and it is dead there..
Even if you go into recovery mode and factory reset, the phone will now boot, but after unlock its dead no background and just a black screen the pull down up top works and to get into settings and the lock screen works and that is it....
going to download the 900A zip and try a total reset via odin... I'll keep you updated..

Permanently delete google bloat

I Uninstalled google docs, slides and google plus using system app remover.
But they just come back on my phone after sometime.
So, how do I deleted them permanently?
Sent from my XT1052 using Tapatalk
Dont delete.. Freeze them using App Quarantine. They wont run
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Assuming your phone is rooted, try uninstalling them permanently using Titanium Backup pro or try 360 security app which is free. It has an option to allow root access and remove any system integrated bloats. I've used both of them and they work 100percent of the time.
