HTC Bloatware Removal

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.

[Q] Solution to Wifi Authentication Problem?

I have a Nexus 6 64GB running Android 5.0.1 (LRX22C) - I have a problem where I will get disconnected from Wifi - or sometimes when getting to home / work when it tries to join the network it will say there is an "authentication problem". If I go into the Wifi settings and connect again it always works.
I also have a Nexus 5 using Android 5.0.1 and don't have this problem - anyone else having this problem / know of a fix for Nexus 6?
Thanks!

I only see this just after finishing a Titanium Backup.
rooted/decrypted 64GB...running lots of ROMs.

After restoring from a Titanium Backup? I haven't restored from a Titanium Backup. I do run backups using Titanium Backup.
I tried doing a factory reset, but that didn't help.
I am rooted, decrypted, but not running a ROM (stock 5.0.1) - I did need to fastboot flash the 5.0.1 image to get from 5.0 to 5.0.1. The problem existed in 5.0 for me as well - but upgrading to 5.0.1 did not fix it. I ran the factory reset after upgrading to 5.0.1 didn't fix the problem - and it didn't help.
I do let Google restore my apps from their cloud backup when I sign in during the initial setup.

I've experienced the same issues on my nexus 5 for weeks now since the update to lollipop, I have tracked it to the scheduled nightly titanium backup that i run on my device. Previously wifi has failed nightly on my device.
To prove this then while connected to home wifi perform a manual backup through tb of the yellow (xml) system->Wifi access points and you'll watch you'll WiFi drop and then fail with the authentication error as the backup competes.
This obviously needs reporting to tb devs not Google, as I've done previously.
I plan to use a tasker script to restart wifi following the nightly tb back up and then separately sync the backup to Google using an additional tb scheduled task.

Thanks! I realize now what Skripka was trying to say with his post. This is definitely part of the problem - I'm not sure if this is entirely the problem as I see the "Authentication problem" when a Titanium Backup is not running. For example when I get to work, I will notice I am not connected to Wifi and when I look at the Wifi settings I see the "Authentication problem" - but when I try to reconnect it connects immediately. The same has happened when I arrive home.
I did submit a support ticket for Titanium Backup to see if they can fix the problem on their end.

You're completely right the issue is described here
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81896
Looks an android OS issue which can be triggered by tb, although that post provides a work around for tb backups to avoid this issue

Thanks again - hopefully they fix this soon. I upvoted the Google Issue and reported that I am having the problem on my Nexus 6 as well.
In the meantime, I excluded the wifi profiles from my scheduled Titanium Backup so that will help a little bit at least.

This still happening to me
Rooted, unencrypted, stock Rom, running latest Franco kernel.
I only TB backup weekly.
Has the WiFi automatic connection failure been directly linked to TB or is there another thread with more recent findings?
Thanks and apologies if this is not the proper etiquette.

After excluding the wifi settings from being backed up by TB, I stopped having the problem. Upgraded to 5.1 since then (flashing 5.1.1 right now) and haven't seen any wifi issues since on my N6.

Xposed Framework On Stock 5.0.2 L90 D415

Have anyone succesfully got Xposed Framework running on stock 5.0.2 L90 D415??

I think you have to get a new recovery (twrp) in order to install xposed and then install the rom again.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I flashed the zip file, wiped cache, and reboot. My phone booted up but i got com.android.phone force closing. Weather app also force closes. And since com.android.phone force closes you get no signal.

My experience...did the lollipop ota for tmo, didn't really care for it much. Used one click root, added flashify and twrp custom recovery and did a nandroid backup. Installed xposed arm zip and it just stuck on the lg logo for quite a long time. Second attempt i did the wipe after installing xposed and it made it past lg logo to tmo boot and hung up. In my reading, saw something about xposed will not work on stock firmware. But isn't xposed for people that want to mod stock roms? Main thing is...back up before anything. Have already used mine 4 times.

So I originally flashed the latest xposedv66 and was not successful. Found xposed-arm-20150213b.zip everything looked good, even had signal. Like you, weather app stopped. So, I tried file manager to get to the installer and it stopped also..

If you're going to do it, BACK UP BEFORE YOU INSTALL. I cannot get it to work, reason why? I do not have the logs but if you install liveboot and activate it, then install the zip and reboot, liveboot will show you a command that is supposed to activate but fails and retries. Its essentially a bootloop but without the reboot. It will not allow you to boot without that feature being activated. Do it for yourself but remember to back up all system partitions and restore them. When you reboot after restore, the system will do the whole 'optimizing apps 1 out of 200' thing so don't worry if it takes a while to boot. Will have more on this when I get home to my laptop.

I tried the one you suggested and I successfully rebooted. However, Lollipop ran slower and then I opened the alpha apk that came on the official thread. It said alpha 3.0 was installed but not activated. So I just decided to restore to before I installed. Xposed is being worked on and its in its alpha stage. Its bound to have bugs. Since THE D415 already has root, I'm fine to wait for an official version of Xposed that works to come out. Also, Even though I had 2 Gigs of data left on internal, there was a notification pestering me saying there was little to no storage left on my phone. Otherwise, no app crashes.

Flashing the ROM again will only wipe/remove xposed.

It's a known fact that lg weather doesnt work on xposed lollipop i also found that file manager didnt work during my period of testing, i don't know if i experienced com.android.phone force closing since I restored from my backup but xposed is definitely not usable on stock lollipop.

Newest xposed version v68 works great! No phone FCs. Now go download it!!!

Where can I download the newest version at because all of them up to this point are not stable on my lg 90 415d , I tried v71 and everytime I try to open my gmail Google Play services force closes

There are newer versions of xposed that fix compatibility issues with LG's encrypted apps (weather, etc) since my post, so they should work with the newer versions of xposed. I only recommended version v68 because I never really use LG apps so I went ahead with such an update. Hope this helps!

Xposed for visually impaired users
Hi, everyone!
I'm visually impaired and I've been "adapting" and customizing my stuff (for a better, more comfortable usability) since 1998 (for Win and Mac) and 2010 for mobile devices, with great success.
I could install the Xposed framework to my Galaxy Tab 3 running KK 4.4.2 (Serbian Stock) back in 2012. But I cannot find a way to install it to my LG L90 D410 running Lollipop 5.0.2.
The option for those specific brands and models in based on the need for good cost-benefit ratio pieces of equipment, so that anyone can benefit from my findings, even those running on a low budget.
I'm preparing a podcast and an YouTube channel on accessibility.
All that put, I'd appreciate any input on how to make the Xposed framework to work on the LG L90. Suggestions o modules that can be useful for vision impaired people will be very welcome too.
Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

Install & run Android Marshmallow on the M7 - VanirAOSP ROM - UPDATED 4/24/16

There is a way to get Marshmallow on the HTC ONE Sprint M7, it's called VanirAOSP ROM. This is a great in most ways, and it's now my daily driver, but be very careful, I almost bricked my phone a few times in setting things up. Here are some tips from what I learned.
Installation instructions (learned from this video, other sources, and hard work):
1) Unlock bootloader.
2) Install custom recovery like TRWP. If you have an old version of TWRP, upgrade it using TRWP Manager or Flashify.
3) Download latest nightly ROM from http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistake/VanirAOSPNightlies/m7spr/.
4) Download gapps. Biker57 suggests gapps from http://www.emccann.net/dho/5-Gapps/ as it's supposed to cause fewer force closes. I believe 60arm-DHO-GAPPs.zip is the correct file name.
5) Download SuperSU. Biker57 likes SuperSU v2.64 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125.
6) Copy all 3 downloads (in .zip format) to the phone (internal storage, like the TWRP folder)
7) Enter bootloader (volume down and power button), then select bootloader.
8) Backup the current ROM, just in case things go bad like they did for me.
9) From TWRP, enter advanced wipe and select system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. Do not select internal storage as you will lose your current backup and other zips if you do (there is an exception to this, as I did it, but I nearly bricked my phone). Now slide to wipe.
10) Go to install, and first select the ROM's zip. Then choose add more zips and select the gapps zip you downloaded. Next select SuperSU. Now slide to install.
11) Be patient during install.
12) Wipe dalvik cache.
13) Reboot to system (aka phone).
14) Enable Developer Options (if you want), by going to Settings->About and hitting Build Number many times until it's enabled.
Known issues and workarounds:
-Camera app force closes after taking a picture - the picture saves, so just reload Camera app. I've also had good luck using Z Camera then viewing the preview before hitting back to reenter the camera app.
-Stock dialer FCs randomly - Install another dialer app, like True Phone.
-Facebook and Facebook Messenger force closes - use mobile website, which actually isn't too bad, or try the instructions listed here.
-Flashlight turns off after 3 seconds - use the cameras flash instead.
Known issues with no good workarounds:
-FM Radio doesn't work.
-Bluetooth audio doesn't work for phone calls most of the time.
-Switching the battery mode causes the brightness to change randomly - don't ever switch away from balanced mode
Other stuff
-You can find more about the updates made to Vanir ROM here.
-It's risky to play around with the radio, but if you want to try it they are listed here.
-Intersted in supporting Varin, you can donate here.
Please let me know if I missed anything. And feel free to copy freely if it helps others.
***disclaimer - follow at your own risk. I'm not responsible for what might happen to your phone. This is only a cheat sheet, and it's for reference purposes only.***

First off, good tutorial. :good:
Vanir is a great ROM but this Sprint ROM still has a lot of bugs in it. I've used the first Vanir Marshmallow ROM to the most recent and a plethora of bugs have been squashed. But this ROM is still not DD ready, the camera , torch, gapps, browser and settings are broken. I am not saying this ROM is bad, just that its not fully ready yet. Depending on the dev, this rom should be DD ready in 2-3 weeks, they've been releasing more often now. Thank the developer if you know him but if you're the developer, thank you.
We should try to get the dev to see if they can put up a Vanir thread with change logs and the whole shebang.

I'm glad this thread was started and the OP was done well. I've been using this ROM for a while and thought I'd pass along my thoughts and what works for me.
This rom has become my daily driver after learning how to fix a couple of issues. After the latest update of 2/18 the biggest issues of not having a cellular/data connection has been corrected. The only issues that remain for me at least are the camera and Facebook issues. Although the camera does force close it does so for me at least after the picture is taken and saved so it's all good for me. The Facebook issues are corrected by deleting a file in both the Facebook and Messenger file.
The following method works for me without boot loops or any other issues and hopefully will work for you too. I flash these all at the same time loaded in the order listed and don't forget to make a backup before you start just in case.
1 - Flash the 2/18 nightly just like you would any rom http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistak...ghtlies/m7spr/
2 - flash the gapps found here http://www.emccann.net/dho/5-Gapps/ and select the 60arm file near the bottom.
3 - flash Super SU 2.64 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125 There are new versions, but the 2.64 has continued to work for me.
4 - Reboot
As I said earlier this works for me and I've used this method with their roms successfully a number of times. Good Luck !!

Thank the developer if you know him but if you're the developer, thank you.

Hello,
Flashing SuperSU through recovery is a better way, atleast for Marshmallow ROMs now. I'm using latest beta version (SuperSU v2.67) without any issues. It can be found in official SuperSU thread here.
As of camera issues, you can use 3rd party camera apps like Camera FV-5, ProShot or etc. Of course they cost few bucks but worth it. Issue doesn't solve totally in this ROM but app doesn't force close, instead freezes for few sec and then works again.
This ROM is my DD and faced no major issues so far. What I'm mostly missing is fast charge feature in kernel otherwise normally it takes plenty of hours to fully charge.
Kindly note; you have to flash gapps provided by the ROM developer. Other gapps like open gapps will endup with FC.
Thanks...
Best Regards

I flashed the gapps provided by the ROM developer, but the Gmail app is force closing due to "unknown issue with Google Play services.".
Then I tried using USB OTG to read my sd card reader in TWRP, but TWRP won't mount it. The issue started right after I booted the ROM the first time; I know because I installed the ROM from my sd card using USB OTG.
I still want this to be my daily driver, because the software is so much faster that 4.3, but I'm not convinced yet.

As of error "Unknown issue with Google Play service", go to Settings -> Apps -> Google Play service -> click 3 dot button in the corner -> Uninstall updates. This should solve the problem.
As of OTG, I didn't tested it but usb connection from TWRP to pc for file transfor works fine.
Btw; You are right, ROM is indeed fast.

Even if you install supersu from playstore, it ask to reboots to recovery to install supersu. But before you accept to reboot, you'll have to enable root access to apps in developer options. Otherwise supersu cannot reboot or go into recovery.
Anyhow, instead of going through all these, I simply flash supersu zip from recovery.

No such problems noticed here. I use Google calendar but Android calendar also works fine.
May be you should try rebooting or wait for some time and try resync.

The problem isn't using Google calendar, the problem is syncing Google calendar. I tried waiting, rebooting, re-adding my account, and everything else, but that didn't help.
Only downgrading Google Play services worked, and then Google calendar synced right away.
Thanks for the suggestions. Hopefully as they update the ROM it'll get resolved more fully.

UPDATED 5/4/19 Working Trusted Face/Face unlock

I was doing a data migration Via Titanium backup for my new Razer 2 from a OnePlus 6 and decided to try it's trusted face restore. I had tried magisk modules and apk downloads from other websites when I found out it wasn't available out of the box. I'll add the apk itself and the titanium files. Let me know how it works with just the apk. And if the bare apk doesn't work use titanium back up and let it restore as a system app.
EDIT:
Time to resurrect an old thread, I removed the app and tried it again using the packages I provided and ran into the same issue. Attached below is a titanium backup of my new working app. If you cannot get it working with the attached zip download the latest NANO Open GAPPS package available at https://opengapps.org/. I got it working again by installing the nano package. Let me know how it works guys ?

And here's a zipped file with the titanium backup

I was doing a data migration Via Titanium backup for my new Razer 2 from a OnePlus 6 and decided to try it's trusted face restore. I had tried magisk modules and apk downloads from other websites when I found out it wasn't available out of the box. I'll add the apk itself and the titanium files. Let me know how it works with just the apk. And if the bare apk doesn't work use titanium back up and let it restore as a system app.

So are you saying that it does work for you? Are you on Pie?

Yes it works and yes I'm on pie. It actually works incredibly well. The app came from my OnePlus 6 on pie. I'm rooted and did it through titanium backup though. If someone unrooted tests just the apk report back.

I'm unrooted tried to install app no good doesn't work

How to restore this with titanium? sorry but it's have been a while since I used titanium
Edit: managed that titanium recognize the backup but it doesn't get restored it stays on 0%
Edit 2: now it gots restored but gives me a FC if I try to add a face

With the apk you went into the settings/security/smart Lock/ and didn't see trusted face in there then?

The app is still installed correct? From there, to try and fix the force close go into the applications from settings and clear the data from the app and try the setup again.

Yes it's installed correct and appears in smart Lock.
Clearing data doesn't help (was the first what I have tried).

Could you check the permissions it's granted in applications? Make sure it has access to everything. If that doesn't do it I'll remove the app from my device and do a fresh restore with my titanium file I posted. If it works for me again I'll post all the steps I took and add some screenshots in the original post as an edit

The app doesn't install just fails

app cannot be installed.

As of now read the updated instructions and you should be set on getting trusted face working. Quick summary is install the nano GAPPS package and it will appear in settings -> security -> smart lock. I think the install via app method in the original post didn't work because there were missing libraries that the package installs.

Smart locks do not have face recognition. (Have you received a security update in the last six months? This system cannot be updated in China.)?

No, I haven't had any updates since February. Looks like Razer already cut support for the 2
I'll look and see if there are any methods that can be used in China for this. I have a feeling the downloads will be blocked since it's a Google app :crying:.

I like to play games, but this phone, the system is very bad, inexplicable Caton, I think rp3 will not be launched, rp2 system update should seek third-party development (if there is a very good third party I am willing to try)。:highfive:

Honestly I'm thinking about trying to build AOSP like lineage from scratch for this thing. I agree that the system is pretty bad.

I did see where the Razer Phone (first phone) was now LineageOS supported, too. First saw it unofficial, and as of yesterday, officially supported.

Please share if you can get it built. I don't think anyone is working on our device.
