there a gazillions of apps out there it all depends on what your looking to do with them.. a bit of research in the apps section wont go a miss

@tehpreist
Its fun to see what list ppl use and think is a must for rooted phones. And to look at all app posts one by one will take for ever.
@Azzledazzle
Thnx. Think i miss one or two on that list.

You only need to read one thread for most of them hence the reason it is pinned.

@Tehpreist

But thank you a lot for the link.

Nexus won't wake up during call or after call

Hi,
Same problem as him but I have a Nexus one and I did not have a deleted app like him.
Thanks.

I experience the same thing (intermittently), but only when connected to Bluetooth in my car. Anyone else connected to Bluetooth while this happens?
OS: Cyanogenmod 7.1 (haven't noticed it happen since updating to 7.2)

It might be helpful if you provide more info. What ROM? What's your setup e.g are you using s2e or similar etc. You might get more replies if you help the helpers

Seriously? Did you read my post?
No s2e (if that was even relevant, and I used it I would have mentioned that).

Dependent on the apps you installed? Can you name the apps related to call settings you installed?

I also realised my original camera app doesent work anymore, try to open it and gives black screen. I do not have other camera apps.

Denying permissions on TL

Since getting my TL I've been much more enthusiastic about playing around with it, by rooting it, deleting these crappy ATT apps, only to find the boot loader is not unlockable.
I wanted to install cyanogenmod to deny apps certain permissions but it looks impossible because the death star won't let us unlock the bootloader.
You guys have always been so helpful in the past... What would be the next best way to deny permissions? I've seen a couple apps in Google play, but they all seem to have their drawbacks.
Thanks

You can't do what you want with root access?

Just want to stop apps from reading contact data, calling home, displaying ads, etc. I know there are a couple apps that do this. Just looking for a suggestion on which works best.

Don't know what apps would be best but root should be all you need not unlocked bootloader.

Try this: http://www.mobiwol.com/
No Root!

That looks like a start, but doesn't really do what he wants. In case you want a app to have web connection, but don't want it to read, for example, your contact data.
I would recommend Gemini app manager.
Have used it for a long time. Only downside is that you have to set all your settings again if you uninstall or change roms

Did I help? please press thanks button

I would recommend LBE Privacy Guard. You can edit all the permissions like you want, permissions of system apps too. But you need root

Getting rid of bloatware??

Ok so I've rooted my z1 and now I'm wondering which apps are save to delete from device to free up more space.
Is there a list anywhere listing which bloatware is safe to delete?

There are lists, you can just google it.
However, the best thing to do is use an app like titanium backup and then "Freeze" aps. This way you can see if it effects performance or stability before actually uninstalling it. If it goes wrong you can just defrost the app again.

I think you can just disable it from settings->apps

I was wondering the same thing today and just found some lists from other phones. Just hadn't gotten around to asking yet, so thanks.
But this is my first locked bootloader device I've rooted, so was wondering if the bootloader checks any system apps on boot? I assume not, but want to be safe. If the bootloader won't boot, then titanium won't help much to recover
Also, anyone know if tweaking things like the dpi in the build.prop will cause the bootloader to freeze?

Its not a problem deleting system apps and the bootloader. However, deleting system apps can some processes to fail, but the device should always boot.

Thanks mate. Any thoughts on build.prop tweaks? (Sorry for OT)

This may be slightly off topic but did anyone get their Z1's with bloatware in another language that could not be uninstalled? When I got mine, it had a few apps in Polish (I think) that played music and some other things. I could not remove it the normal way. Just curious if anyone else got the same crap I did. I guess it shouldn't be too surprising seeing as how I got the C6903 overseas model. I just didn't think it'd have apps that I couldn't remove.

Titanium back up or root explorer I've found to be the best apps to do this

App to control app permission

Hey team,
Can someone point me to a good thread, I've found 3,4 threads but looking for a good app, or an app where I can control what permissions apps get AND if there is an app that logs all the actions of your apps. I have the amex app and I sure as hell dont know why it needs certain permissions and I am curious to know when the app accesses my phonebook or so forth
Hope I made sense....
Thanks alot as usual.

Install Xposed, there are some modules to alleviate this issue.

You need this. It will work great for you. It does need root. It's what I've been using since Nexus 5.
The Name of the App is Apps Ops

+1 to this. App ops works great and is super lightweight.
I would stay away from using xposed as it causes external problems and it's better to just stick to lightweight alternatives.
