Hello. I just rooted my phone and I tried to uninstall HTC bloatware and virgin mobile bloatware. But every time my phone restarts the apps return. I heard of this happing with HTC phones. I'd like to remove it as this phone has very low storage as it is. I know there is a way but I'm unsure of how. Any help is appreciated.

I am having the same issue. Virgin mobile bloatware returns after a reboot. I am thinking about making a backup and manually deleting the apk files. Has anyone dealt with such an issue before? If so, please offer us some advice. Thank you.

Been using VM for longer than I care to admit. I've seen this once before I forget if it was my Evo 4G or my Optimus kept happening to me until a stable custom rom had them removed. I just honestly didnt reboot it ever

I am having the same problem with the Sprint version too. I have gone in with solid explorer and deleted the apk and the ODEX file that's with it and I get the same thing. They return....
The phones need S-OFF or a Custom Rom. I would follow one of those threads for a solution (eventually).
Wow.. Lol. Never had this problem before

Hi all,
If you install the kernel on this thread, it shouldn't reinstall:

Even after installing the kernel, the apps still come back. Plus with that kernel there is no ffc, and also SD card has problems. Trying to debloat this phone is a real pain.

The Cricket version of the WP removed kernel from shinru2004 worked like a charm. All my crap apps and then some are long gone baby. Try it again, or better yet get in touch with OP of your kernel @CurbThePain and ask.

Flash rbheomax's kernel (I believe both camera's work in V1), or pattyboi's kernel (both cameras work), and use Titanium Backup to remove the apps/bloatware. They shouldn't come back after that but if they do, you can always go into Play Store > Settings > Auto-update Apps and set it to Do not auto-update apps and they will quit re-installing. If you're using Flashify to flash the boot image then make sure you reboot the phone before attempting to remove the apps; if you're using TWRP to flash then you don't have to worry about that.

That was it. pattyboi's rhinstone kernel was the way to go. Both camera's working and no sd problems with write protection removed. Time to slim this thing down a bit. Thanks dip_spit.

Has anyone else tried this kernel and can verify there are no issues? I seen HTC has a new update for my phone and wonder how that would work:
Software uptate: 1.49.652.3
This update contains important enhancements and bug fixes, including:
ALERT: Patch for critical security vulnerability ('Stagefright')
- Device Stability improvements, bug fixes
- New and or enhanced features
- Further improvements to performance
Right now, my version is 1.48.652.2
I did a backup, then installed the RUU, let their software update install to keep from getting notified about it incessantly, and then put my kernel back with the application backups.

Hello, i just got my first smartphone, i have AT&T and i didnt want an iphone and was more drawn toward andriod, so i got a captivate. I would really like to do alot of the things in the "Pimp my captivate" guide but i have some questions first.
1.) If i root the phone, and take off the bloatware, will i still get updates if i go to the check for updates in settings? (ex. like the gps fix and froyo update someday).
2.) Its not going to subtract any features from the phone is it ? (ex. the google syncing and everything will still work? Basically is the rooting process and or bloatware removal going to change the way the phone works besides the programs those being gone?
Ill admit i'm an andriod phone hacking noob, but i do know computers well and programming and have altered other devices in the past.

Since no updates have come down yet, I don't think anyone is sure of the answer to this. Keep in mind that it's a good idea to make backups of the app APKs on your sdcard before you remove them (just in case you want to reinstall them).

Removing AT&T's crappy apps won't affect the phone negatively at all. They simply won't be there, so you can't use them (if you find them useful). The only app that I can think of you may want to keep is the AT&T Hot Spots app so you phone can use free AT&T wifi at locations such as Starbucks.
Yes, you will still get updates as long as you do not install a custom ROM. (Rooting is ok).
The only functionality that will be removed will be that of the apps you delete
Thank you so much this clears up alot of the things I've been wondering.

Rooting issues
I have tried everything I have found online. The superuser icon is there. I have downloaded several apps that require the device to be rooted. I turned on usb debugging, and turned it off. I've downloaded update.zip several times.
I'm not entirely a noob when it comes to tweaking phones. I flashed roms on windows mobile and performed all sorts of modifications I got off this site.
I have the superuser icon. I downloaded titanium. Titanium says it installed busybox. I downloaded the separate busybox app from the market. That app has a popup saying that a nand unlock is necessary for the app to work. When I run it in spite of the popup, it says the device is rooted, but can't find busybox. A whoami command in adb will indicate that I'm not. I went though adb to reinstall busybox. But whenever I try to run any significant commands (eg su) it gives me a permission denied error. Googling permission denied gives me a myraid of possible causes, but it seems I'm getting far afield. I just want to get rid of the bloatware for now.
Is there another program to root this thing? Did I just miss something incredibly obvious?

You shouldn't ever need to unless you are installing a ROM that requires it. the Dalvik Cache is the Java VM that Android Runs on and it does a very good job of keeping itself cleared. It does lots of Garbage collection on its own.

What's the point of rooting an active if you can't do anything with it. Now you can't even get the new at&t update. Someone explain what the reason is please besides the thrill of pointless tinkering.

I do lots of stuff with my rooted S4A. Wanam Xposed, Pie Controls, frozen ATT bloat and Avast Firewall to name a few things. It even text messages and makes phone calls!
New update=yawn. 4.3 isn't a big deal (unless you want a Gear).

It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. I personally have root so I can fully utilize Titanium Backup to backup my entire phone, block ads, use Folder Mount to force files to be saved to my external SD card, install Cerberus as a system app to utilize more of its features, and install Xposed Framework and Xposed Modules to endlessly customize my phone and add additional functionality to it. It's up to you whether or not you think rooting is worth it. With that said you can always update to the official AT&T 4.3 firmware using the Odin files found in this thread.
Good points for your purposes granted. But I loved to change roms on my gs2 until I found cm, then I stuck with that one as my fav. I'm just frustrated that it is not that easy or even possible anymore, at least with this phone that I like and plan on keeping for a while.

Hey Devo, you run xposed framework on the stock rom with no issues? I had some problems with it on my sgh-i537 and some of the modules wouldn't work at all. If I tried to install the hypderive device tools(shutdown) menu, when I use the shutdown button my phone locks up and just shuts off, no menu ever appears. I really like alot of the hyperdrive functions, I'd love to be able to add the hyperdrive tweaks too, but never had any luck there either.
As concern me I will sell my s4 active No Roms No updates :'(

Yeah, I run Xposed on my stock ROM. The only issue I ever had was a few days ago when I updated XPrivacy and the phone refused to boot. I had to flash the Xposed disabler with SafeStrap. I run the GPE ROM in slot 1 so I can't speak to the way Hyperdrive works. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Ok, I see. so whatever is in your slots can affect your stock rom as well? I also ran GPE in another slot for a while and I liked it, but with the aroma installer and the hyperdrive tweaks, it really is something I'd like to stick with. I wish I understood more about what is shared and what isn't between roms in slots and the deal with the locked bootloader. We're a long way from Windows Toto, lol. Then again, I do networking, not programming so much.
So, do you run the advanced power menu module on your stock ROM? I really like the HyperDrive version, I think it's called HyperDrive Device Menu or something.
I want to say I installed wanam and xposed from apk files, no flashing. Maybe I need to start there. Thanks again.

I don't think that the Rom slots impact each other unless you are running low on space.
I don't have am advanced power menu and I'm not sure what the Hyperdrive one looks like. That said Wanam had a couple of options that extend the power menu that are worth a try.
Everything I've installed has been by directly installing an apk. Except for dark dialer, dark contacts, and call recording.

thanks for the info man. I will try the wanam menu and see, think I tried it once, but still had the issue with the button locking up.

You need to open up the zip file and look inside the folders to see what files are flashed and where they ate flashed. This will tell you what files were changed our added then you can manually remove them. I would also ask the creator to post a zip that removes the necessary files to return to stock. It should be easy enough.

With this ROM can I enable ART? I am running Xposed currently, to enable wifi tether.
However, I basically want a stock rom with knox removed, and verizon stuff removed, and wifi tether and secure storage enabled. This sounds exactly like that, I also want to maybe try out using ART instead of dalvik. (Even though I am to ignorant to know the full implications behind the change, I do know that with Xposed, I have to keep my phone on dalvik.)
Thanks. And thanks were given for this rom already! You rock.

Sent from my Dev Note 4
Did you guys download securestorage=true or false version?
So I successfully unlocked and rooted my phone with various methods because Boost Mobile didn't make it easy, and then managed to root via TWRP,
The reason why I rooted the phone is because I want to remove bloatware like Connection Optimizer and Boost Zone.
I got a hold of a root explorer copy and managed to delete the .apk files with their respective helping files.
On top of that, I got another application to remove the installed apps and it worked.
So, after a while of using the phone without a hassle, it just randomly turns off.
And when I boot it up again, the apps are back and more annoying than before.
I have no idea how to change folder permissions (I forgot, I did it once on LG Venice but that was a while ago)
And I really need help, the bloatware takes up to 2gb and its annoying with the constant bombardment of notifications.
Please, if you can, HELP ME.

Your phone has to be in FASTBOOT not the os, but I assume you know that. Try adb kill-server and then adb start-server and then do the fastboot flash boot b.img or turn the computer off and turn it back on and try again. I've had this problem a couple times, these two methods worked.

You need to use one of the write protect removed kernels so system apps will not come back. I suggest you leave the system apps alone. I have had force closes when I tried to delete most of them. There are some you can delete with no issues, such as the lockscreen, if you prefer the AOSP one. I also had problems when I tried to integrate updates into /system, especially with the Play Store, Google Play Services, and the Gallery.
You should use Link2SD to free up tons of space. This thread should be very helpful.
I highly suggest for you to read through all of the threads on our phone. You will find some very useful information.

Thank you. I know what system apps that are safe to remove and which aren't I'm a jailbreak freak when it comes to iOS.
I put raptor rom v2 on my virgin phone and I was able to set and save the gsm bands using *#*#info#*#*, but I can't find a proper sized SIM card to test! Phone seems to think it is a gsm phone and keeps wanting to download an international update, that I can't figure out how to install.
