Hello, I really need help, I was using system/app mover to move apps from normal to system apps so that they are considered as system , and would be there when I factory reset. This app works in both ways, it changes apps to system apps and vice versa, now I was clicking on the app to change to system , then they ask do you want to reboot , if you press no, the order of the list will change. If you press on the call app foe example, the one bellow it is selected , and doing it fast I didnt recognize that , only before I changed the messaging app, nfc service, something related to camera, notification bar , and maybe more that I didnt see yet. The problem is that these apps are removed from the phone permanently, they are no longer on the list, installed as normal apps, or even in the system folder, or apps folder. I need someone to attach all the apps in his phone under system/apps , so I can paste them there, please help. For faster ask&answer consider contacting me on my email : [email protected]
Thanks alot

Just reflash the ROM, or use your nandroid backup, and don't make the same mistake next time.
Much quicker than waiting for someone to upload all their apps for you.

You should advise daily/regular backups, and before messing about with anything that requires root and modifies your phone take a backup, backups are your best friend in the android world, however if your boot loader is still locked and you can't reflash a ROM or even have recovery flashed, head down to the Themes and Apps and I remember (I think) seeing a system dump for stock 4.1.2, go there and you should find everything you need

How can I make a backup before installing CWM ? My bootloader is still locked, and I tried to unlock it using the toolkit developed by OS_hacking , but when I hit unlock bootloader the phone shows me a warning that the warranty will be lost , I press agree, it opens the download mode , and then I try to flash the CMW but it does nothing. Now I cant access the recovery mode.

You could utilize "adb backup", or use Titanium Backup. If installing CWM worked fine, first thing to do of course is a Nandroid backup

The users. First off I want to make this very clear, I am not responsible for anything nor is droidxforums for any damages done to devices due to root, since it was up to the user to make the decisions they make. Thank you, please continue to read.
1. First off I am posting this for reasons that were obvioulsy not too obvious.
2. If you chose to delete anything other than something that can be downloaded from the market, YOU took that risk. You have potentially just bricked your device.
3. DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING THAT HAS "BLUR" IN ITS FILE NAME.
4. DO NOT try to flash a custom recovery via Rom Manager then wonder why your phone is stuck with a cool new Motorola logo.
5. This thread will be updated very frequently, before posting questions and what not, just post your problem, no questions please, I will be using this to help as many of you as possible.
6. Most importantly do not mess with the framework right now, there is many $600 papers weights laying around now.
7. DO NOT TOUCH BACK UP ASSISTANCE UNLESS ITS WINDY IN YOUR HOUSE OR OFFICE AND YOU NEED A PAPER WEIGHT.
Thank you.

It seems that no one knows for sure.
People have been able to root, re-copy any removed system applications ( blockbuster, skype, etc..) apply the .604 update and stay rooted
Only time will tell for sure
I only deleted Blockbuster, Skype, NFSShift, and AmazonMP3/Kindle apps. Would I need to put those back on and unroot if I wanted to do a hard reset?
From what I hear, you need to put back ALL of the apps that came with the phone to apply the .604 update
Un-rooting doesn't seem to be necessary

He is correct, we have had phones with tons removed, copied everythign back with the right permissions, took out all the things that root did, basically un-rooting, apply the update, then re-root, so you will have to put the phone back to pristine before the update, but it works fine.
At least it does for now. As for the rooting, it is a huge gaping hole in linux/android, not a specific phone or phone home launcher so it will likely not be fixed until at least Gingerbread 3.0 IF THEN. Bird really smoked the monkey on this one, i would marry him if it was legal.
But yeah, dont freak out if u removed a ton of stuff, here is a complete pristine system app dir if u need:

Zanix, thanks for updating into the post, i hope it ends up helping people.
Updated OP with direct link to original .apk list
Hey,
Where can I find a list of the correct permissions? I removed like 5 apps and copied them back and still the update fails.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Check the permissions from one of the files you did not remove
I'm not 100% sure that will work
It is 644 if I recall correctly.
I think you need to check the umask for each file as well
ON the post on how to put back backup assistant it tells you the permissions for all the files in the app dir
its in the first post
So I wanted to install a status bar replacement for Droid X, which involves replacing framework-res.apk. Instead of doing it through adb, I replaced the file with Root Explorer, and it sent it into boot loop. Do I now have a paperweight? =/
I tried doing factory reset, but that didn't fix it...
Edit: It sees update.zip on my SD card in recovery mode (some file I think I downloaded before), so is there a way to maybe apply a recovery command to replace framework-res.apk?
Edit2: sigh, nvm, there is no update.zip on the SD card, I'm not sure where it's reading it from. But when I tell it to apply it, it doesn't find it either. Looks like I bricked my phone
Has anyone been using Autostarts to block the bloat from loading on boot?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The Titanium Backup "Freeze" feature has been working like a charm for me. I've frozen all of the bloatware (the autorun stuff) and seen no adverse effects on the phone.
The phone seems to perform better without the running bloat. But this might be a placebo effect. The jury is still out...I'm testing. One thing is for sure, I feel better knowing that useless extra processes are not running in the background.
The big open question for me is how does the TB Freeze function work? Is it like the task killers or does it intercept the app on boot?
It does not change anything in the root directory since all the *.apk files are in tact for the frozen apps. This is the main reason I use the freeze since there seems to be little risk of bricking the phone with this method.
using CWM? i tried to back up using CWM then i after i change rom, then restore.. stucked up with start up like what happened to me when installing MIUI-MCGv7.6.zip. i think installing MIUI-MCGv7.6.zip is a wrong process,. Using kies is a hell too long.

From what you posted , i gather that you where having booloops after a restore,this is common, so the fix most times are to flash the kernel.

is that boot loop? because it only stucked in that logo. if i tried to charge it, only the loading "little circle" yes, i already know the process on how to fix that . just flash a kernel again,. so restoring may cause bootloop? like how many %?
After you change ROMs you dont restore your CWM back-up.CWM is a back-up just incase something goes wrong.What it does is makes a copy of the ROM settings your phone was on before the flash so if something goes wrong you can get your phone back atleast.To flash a ROM and then restore CWM over top you will end up with your old ROM again.If you only back-up certain things then you are trying to restore certain apps that have settings from your old ROM that probably are not compatable with the new one.Before a flash make a complete CWM back-up just incase something goes wrong but also make one with Titaniun of all your app,contacts and what ever.When all is good and done replace with Titanium and thats it but dont restore your CWM back-up cos your restoring your old ROM again.

aww.. didn't know that, well after that boot loop problem, then i flashed XXJVS 2.3.5 kernel, and the rom was gone, it's just gone back for a new phone but 2.3.5 though. so the titanium back up is the best app to restore game app+additional data, contacts and other apps? because now i installed some gameloft games, and they requires 500mb+ additional data(depends on game) that's too lot to download again, our connection is just not that fast for it. i download the additional data for like 6hrs (612mb).
sweet.No worries.There are 2 titanium apps on the market.A paid and a free one.For what you want id get the free one as i dont think you need the advanced settings the pro version has.Titanium backs up whatever app you want with or without data so in your case you can save your games and data aswell and flash new ROMs and wont loose anything.It also links them back to the market again incase of updates.Need to be rooted thought.Do a CWM back-up just in case.flash your ROM and dont forget dalvik cache and cache partion wipes before rebooting.Root your phone reinstall titanium,load your google account and then reinstall with titanium.It installs all at once so you dont have to do one at a time.Good app to have.If something ever did go wrong with the flash and your phone was left semi-bummed or whatever and you didnt know what to do or couldnt fix it then you boot to recovery and restore your CWM back-up to get your phone back to the way it was before the flash.that is what its there for.Its a saftey net.

This morning my phone froze while i was on facebook, and the only way i could get it working again was to take out the battery. So this worked, all is well in the world! Then this afternoon, it did it again. Just froze while i was in an application.
So i did the battery trick again, except now im stuck in a loop. i turn it on it goes from HTC to cyanogen start up screen, then the a black screen, then back to the cyanogen start up screen. And thats literally all my phone is doing now.
Anybody have any ideas how i go about fixing this issue?
I was running cyanogenmod 7.1, with hboot 1.16 (bootloader unlocked), but it was s-on i used lynts guide to unlock bootloader and install the customer rom (cyanogenmod)
Any help would be great

Did you do a full wipe before flashing cm7.1?
Full wipe = factory reset + format /data, /cache and /system.

yeah i did all of that, ive been running cyanogen 7.1 for about 3 week. and then today it just did this. I can get into hboot menu, i noticed in another topic somebody stated go into recovery and reinstall from sd card. So i did this, but im just stuck in the cyanogen loop again.
Should i try full wiping it all again, and then reinstalling cyanogen again?
hi. try to see if you can restore the HTC RUU. put your phone in fastboot and download this RUU and let it do the work.

hope it works.
right, ive managed to sort it out. I did a factory wipe, and reinstalled the rom and then flashed the rom through CMD becasue ive got hboot 1.16
Is there a way to create a backup or this, and if it ever happens again i can just restore the backup i create, and i dont have to flash the image or use CMD. As its just took ages to set my phone up to how i want it etc.
I know i have something called nandroid backups but im not really sure how to use that to its full advantage?
I'm sure somebody knows?

Nandroid backup is a backup which backups the whole system. Including contacts, apps, data, etc.
Cool eh? And not to forget it will backup your current rom.
To do nandroid backup, you have to boot to recovery (e.g. clockworkmod). Select backup and restore, then press backup. Once done, you're done!
Keep in mind if you flashed another rom and wanted to restore the backup you've done, you have to take the boot.img, restore via recovery, and then flash boot.img via fastboot.
It could be found at /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups/2011.12.29 - 21.15/boot.img
About the 2011.12.29 - 21.15 (example), that is an info on what date and time (obviously) you did a nandroid backup.

The only 'maintenance' you can do that doesn't affect your setup and installed apps would be to Clear Cache and Clear Dalvik Cache in recovery mode. If you perform a Full Wipe/System Reset, you will lose you installed apps, messages, settings ,etc.
Hi tpbklake,
In terms of maintenance, you could always check out a couple of apps I use regularly.
SD Maid and Root Explorer are a good way of keeping your SD card clean and healthy and help clear up inconsistencies in directories.
They don't make much of a difference to the functionality of the phone drastically, but do help nonetheless.
Hope it's of some use to you.

I've had my phone @ 1 month, and other than rooting it I never had to reboot. I used Hasoon's Desire_C_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0 to install the recovery, root, and superuser. I still have the stock ROM and software. I have installed NovaLauncher, AvastMobile Security, Titanium Backup Pro, and Holo Lockscreen. I haven't disabled or uninstalled any of the apps that came on the phone (Bell). For what ever reason today, when I hit the power button to wake the phone it went into slow motion for almost a minute, then seemed fine. My calendar and contacts ended up all messed up. So I restored ContactStorage with Titanium Backup which recommended a reboot. I held the power button until the Restart menu appeared and hit restart. The phone shut down and rebooted, which seemed slow to me, roughly a minute to get to the Sense Lock screen, and another 30 seconds to get to the Holo Lock Screen. Once the lockscreen was engaged the home screen appeared, but the phone was very sluggiish for @ another minute, then all seems fine.
Is this amount of time normal to restart the phone? or has something been changed somehow?
thanks in advance.

The stock rom is pretty slow, and the stock launcher being there (since you haven't uninstalled any bloatware) doesn't help out to make it faster.
You can try installing a custom kernel. Links are in the index thread. That could help you speed up a little.
What I would recommend is switching to CM10 or any of the roms based on it.
So bottom line, yeah with the stock rom its pretty normal to get a lot of lag.

Try out Rom toolbox.. or any app that can force un-install other apps and make sure to not remove anything important (Common sense eh)
Also consider flashing a custom Rom, they can help with bloatware issues, everything (I think) can be found in the index so start there.
Remember to always Hit Thanks when people help you, and whenever you use someones work, or if you appreciates someone work, and also the verifications stop after 10 posts i think, which is when you are able to post in the development section as well

I've installed Rom Toolbox Lite, and froze a lot of the bloatware. Sped things up quite noticeably. I froze the HTC lockscreen app, but it appears to be still running.Should I uninstall it?
As I install apps to replace the clock, calendar etc should I also be uninstalling the same original apps?
I haven't tried the backup or nandroid backup yet. Is this considered a replacement for Titanium? Are the nandroid backups the same as those done from the bootloader?
I've been looking for a tutorial but have not found any. Does anyone have a link to one?
Sorry for all the questions, and thanks again for all the help.

The backups that you take from recovery are called nandroid backups For the lockscreen, take a backup of the apk in your sdcard then delete it from system/app. If it works then great, if not then paste your apk back to system/app You are doing this at your own risk!

You can use titanium backup. It's the one I prefer. But there are several more that are pretty good, just look for them. =3
I think that is antispam, so it should be after 10-20 posts, when the restriction on posting in the development forums lifts.
P.S. Make a nandroid backup from recovery every week or two or before you make major changes. If the system is stable make another one so that in case you decide to do something else you have your phone ready.
Restoring from backup deletes all the whatsapp and IM messages up until the day you made the backup, so take that in mind.
Keep the last 2 of them as a backup of the backup on your PC at all times. It's a lifesaver.

i do neither, i have no back ups, currently my phone is just sitting in fastboot somewhere in my room waiting for the CM7 kernel.. until then i just don't bother using it xD I have my 4x, Galaxy w, and my new (old) hTC Dream
thanks to all who have helped!!
I have uninstalled 69 apps that are either bloatware from Bell and HTC, or are apps I would never use. I used Titanium to freeze the apps 1st, and see if there were any ill effects. Once I determined that what was froze did not affect any other apps, I backed up the frozen apps (batch), and then uninstalled the frozen apps (batch again).
One big plus by using Titanium to remove bloatware was when the uninstall finished, it did not uninstall 2 of the apps I had froze, getting info on these apps showed they were tied to the ROM, Picasa Web Album, and Google Play Music.
Updating CWM to the latest 6.0.3.0 was also a bonus, as ROM Manager now works for Nandroid backups without having to reboot manually (remove and replace the battery).
I will eventually get around to trying custom ROM's when time permits. For now I'm trying different apps such as calendars, keyboards, and launchers. With the multitudes of available apps, anyone have suggestions for keyboards, calendars, and launchers. I've just installed NovaLauncher and ClockQ.
When alternative apps are installed such as calendars, is it preferable to uninstall the same apps that came with the phone?
thanks again to all.
Well keyboard I use stock cm10 don't use calender and for launcher switch between holo launcher HD and sf launcher

Launcher. Nova. Always.
Keyboard. SwiftKey. Always
Clock. Android 4.2 clock. Look in the themes and apps section.
Edit - If you use another launcher than you can not use htc widgets.. So as i use nova, i always use player pro as a music player.

for example:
If I keep ClockQ should Clock be uninstalled or frozen?
if I install business calendar should Calendar be uninstalled or frozen?

Backup, uninstall, if it causes problems restore.
Hi Guys,
So I've been using my HTC One for a few months and now decided to finally root it. The problem: Rooting it will wipe all of its data and I've got a lot...
So here's my question:
Is it possible to perform a Full Backup with Apps, App data(savegames) , contacts, messages, call log and maybe even all the files on the internal storage.
I'm not rooted and got Android 4.2.2. It doesn't have to be a All-in-one tool, the important part is that I don't lose anything
Im looking forward to your response

As per my knowledge , unlike earlier android versions .... there will not be any data losses ....try this rooting video tutorial

If you really want to backup your apps try 'App backup & restore' or similar apps .... but they can only backup the apps not the app data
To backup an apps completely as you see it , you need apps like Titanium Backup ... but it requires root access
Hope it helps...

if you're going to unlock using HTCdev, then it wipe EVERYTHING off your phone, just installing root doesn't wipe.
Since you're not rooted TiBu won't work, so check out Helium
also check
SMS Backup & Restore by Sashu
Call Logs Backup & Restore by Sashu (when restoring, first restore logs, THEN sync contacts, otherwise the names won't get resolved)
