Apps safe to remove - Droid Pro Android Development

As I do with every phone, I remove the preloaded applications as soon as I was rooted. Since this is a world phone, there are other applications installed than other Moto devices (D2/DX), so this list may differ from simliar threads in their respective forums.
Here is a list that I found that is safe to uninstall:
Please backup before you uninstall these, and do not hold me responsible if anything goes wrong.
Sound Recorder 2.2
Video Editor Lite 1.0
City ID 1.0.30
News and Weather 1.3.01
Backup Assistant 2.2
Backup Assistant 1.0
Yahoo Contacts 2.2
Social Networking 2.2
Help Center 2.2
Social Status 2.2
Messaging 2.2
Universal Inbox 2.2
News 2.2
Social Messaging 2.2
Weather 2.2
Emergency Alert 1.0.0
DLNA 0709.69
Files 2.2
MediaShare 1.0.0
3G Mobile Hotspot 2.2
Sticky Note 2.2
Voicemail 1.1
Voice Commands (Reset he phone if you get FC loop)
Quickoffice 3.3.67 - Motorola
VPN Client 1.0
VZ Navigator
My Verizon Mobile 5.0
I wasn't terribly thorough, so I'm sure I missed some. If you know of any others, I would love to know!
Update
Thanks to AverageCanadian for the following links:
VPN Client, Video Editor Lite, QuickOffice - mediafire DOT com/?i6dqmx5wpij6uxv
Social Sharing - mediafire DOT com/?4rgagvd9d3a0cpn
Universal Inbox - mediafire DOT com/?ktw0mnhh1ffvt47
Sorry can't post links but I'll try to sort through the thread and bring urls to this post

Thank for the list. Did you do this via adb?
I'm patiently waiting for my unlock code so I can use this phone in Canada. Guess I can pass the time by removing some useless bloat ware.

Can someone post the APK to Quickoffice, Video Editor Lite 1.0, VPN Client 1.0, and social status please? Thankies

how do I grab the apk file?

via root explorer I would think, no?

Titanium Backup works well for removal

Once you achieve root with z4root (in the market), you can use mybackup or titanium backup

Alright so I attempted what you said.
Used Titanium backup, but it created .tar and .properties files for each application. So I attempted using Root Explorer and copying the .apk file from sys/apps.
I couldn't find social share, will look for it tomorrow. I created a .rar file that has the titanium backup and the .apk files
Files can be found here.

thanks a bizzle.

np, let me know if you need anything else. Also if you need the actually social network.apk file, I can take another look.
As for the OP's list, are we supposed to just delete the .apk files from sys/app?

Yeah that would be cool if you can find it. I was able to get the quickoffice to install on the DX, but not VPN. If you also can, please get universal inbox that would be cool.

a humble thank you.

Email.apk
I accidently deleted the email app. Can someone post a link to a copy.
To put it back I assume i will have to place it in system/app ?

That's correct

Email App
Can someone please send me the email.apk file? I accidentally deleted it :-(

ok so when I look at some of these with rootexplorer, I can't figure out what the names are at all. help?

Maybe try with Titanium Backup. It lists all the App names. Makes it a little easier to get rid of unwanted bloat...

Saving Bookmarks from Opera Mobile 10

With Opera Mobile 10 the bookmarks are not stored anymore in opera6.adr file. They are in
Program Files\Opera Mobile 10\profile\datastorage\2\all.dat
If you are one of those who frequently keeps changing ROMs on your phone an need to save bookmarks save this file and copy into the new ROM.
I guess if you have opera on your desktop the process is much easier.
Hope this helps. My apologies if this info is already posted elsewhere. Couldn't find it when I searched.
very good info. This had me puzzled as I have opera bookmark backup cab and I could not get it to work for the life of me. Thanks for the heads up.
I use agent's ROM and Opera bookmark location is : Windows\profile\datastorage\2\all.dat

I use for backup the Opera Link.
How can I import the old Opera Mobile 9.x links to OM10?
by using OPERA LINK via MY OPERA
Importing Links from earlier versions of Opera Mobile
Opera Links did not work for me.
The following method did, starting from version 9.5 beta:
I installed each of the previous Opera updates which are available at:
ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/winmobile/
I allowed each new version to remove the previous version when prompted.
For some reason, although installing version 10 did not import the bookmarks when updating from 9.5, there seemed to be no problem going from 9.5 to 9.7 to 10.01 to 10.02 and finally 10.02u in sequence.

At the risk of being told "search for it" ..I'm asking this question anyway because it's specifically the topic of this thread:
There are several number-folder's under \datastorage\ (e.g, "4", "8") in addition to "2" that contain a file called "all.dat". Do these not pertain to bookmarks, too?
If not, anybody know what they do pertain to? Just wondering if I should back-up/restore them, too.
Thanks.
Thank you! That really helps. Any idea how can I save the 3x3 "home page" links?
O mobile 10 speeddial config location
yo mates!
the config of the speed dial seems to be under the folder 6 in datastorage.
there are fav, img and a dials.dat files.
fav0.dat to fav8.dat for the url itself and img0.dat to img8.dat for the 'screenshots' used on the coresponding dial button.
cheers...
I wish I knew this before
The other day I updated from Opera 10 beta 2 to beta 3 using ninja duck's (with flashlite included). It erased my prior bookmarks, so I have to start all aver again.
we sure?
hey pcash, maybe its my version but, I think its folder "4" for mine. I deleted and re-installed opera 10. before adding bookmarks there was only folders 1,2,6 and 8. After I added 2 bookmarks, folder 4 appeared. took that all.dat file and renamed it all.txt. I opened it and amongst the gibberish, were the bookmarks and their names!. im thinking one might be the history? well, ill investigate a lil more
yup. folder 4 is the history.
??
anyone know how to read these .dat files as cleartext?

or how to simply remove the non-ascii characters when reading this file into a variable with mortscript?
Really hope someone can develop a tools to import the bookmark from 9.5 to 10.

No. Because the MortScript could not work with non-ascii files, it works only with text/ini files.
WARNING!!
This will not work for everybody!!!
Check into things before you use the all.dat file from folder '2' as your backup option. I saved it, and then uninstalled Opera, so i could install it to my storage card fresh, rather than moving it. I replaced all.dat in new location, and ALL my bookmarks are gone...and I had a lot. I'm kicking myself for not verifying before the uninstall...so all versions or devices or something are not the same...I will post when I find what happened and how to avoid...just wanted to get the warning out there.
So copying all.dat to my laptop and renaming to a .txt file shows that it does contain my bookmarks amongst the garbbled characters. Opera just doesn't use the data. Everytime I run Opera it replaces with a fresh all.dat file of 500b. The only difference is the install location...same version from the same original cab file. Any ideas how to force Opera to use the data in old file rather than replacing it with empty new one??
Another side note which I'm sure is obvious to everyone but changing that dat file in anyway while in the text editor makes opera crash forcing a reset...followed by over 25 error messages to go through upon boot up....so I would recommend not trying it as I foolishly did!

Well \Program Files\Opera Mobile 10\profile\datastorage\4\all.dat is the data for the speed dials (the 3 x 3 grid of 9 assignable quick links on the "start" page) on mine.

[APP][UTIL]wmDownloader

wmDownloader v0.2​
This application allows you to easily download files from One-Click-Hosters like rapidshare. It can be used to download your files overnight without use of PC, but remember to plug your PocketPC to charger.
I recomend turning of not cheap GPRS data connection in case of WiFi lost connection.
Application using michyprima's manila SDK.
User guide:
After first start go to "Config" tab, select destination folder for your files and click "Save". Now you can add files in "Files" tab or by editing file "files.txt" and then reloading it using "Menu->Reload files.txt".
When you added some files you can start download process. Files will be removed automaticly from list after download.
Known bugs:
- not all rapidshare error messages are parsed
- directory browser can't create new directory
- some minor UI bugs like formatting timer
Change log:
v0.2
- code prepared for multiple upload websites
- added config for download folder
- new UI
- .NET CF 3.5 used
v0.1
- initial write

First
Nice idea, will test it.
edit: Works, but the problem with my device is , that i haven´t got a Storage Card, it called "Interner Speicher" on my german Diamond. So the files will download only to device storage -.-
Another problem is, that the device turn off, when I am downloading, so it would be nice if you can put in a function, that disable this,during the app is running.
And of course if possible more hoster support, for example netload, upload..
Thanks and this is another link

Rapidshare downloader.rar
Many thanks, elektro255, it simply WORKS!
There is a file, that for the past weeks I never got a chance from crapidshare to downlead it,I was thinking that the site will never give a slot for this file. But last night your lite tool did it. After about 20 times trying by itself, it downloaded the file while I was sleeping.
Here's some minor issues and suggestions:
Like others found, in my Chinese ROM, it created a folder and downloaded the file to main memory.
On my QVGA device, the font size for displaying details is too small.
Is that possible in future release to make it work with other sites like mediafire etc. I don't really have demand for this myself, but maybe others have better suggested site.
Last thing is that your app does not have an icon and the shortcut looks not good in start menu. If you want to keep the tiny size of it and does not want to include another file into it, you may just use one of the system icons that comes with shellres etc.
Anyway it already did what is expected to do.
Premiumaccount and "Speicherkarte" support - would be nice

Hi,
I made simple app to download rapidshare.com files over night.
1. App is just pre pre alpha version but works for now
2. I'm not planning to continue work on this app as long as it works fine for me [but if you have good idea what can be included in next version you can write on this topic]
3. For this app is required \Storage Card\ folder.
App written in C# .NET 2.0, tested on HTC Topaz
Downloaded files are stored in \Storage Card\Downloads\
Rapidshare links are stored in \Storage Card\Downloads\files.txt (after edit via external editor, app have to be restarted)
I advise to disable GPRS connection (to avoid big bill in case of wifi disconnected) and to conect charger

very good job done there pawel, open up your donation box mate ! you deserve a cherry
This software doesn't support Premium Account?
Software is working fine on qvga...but fonts are pretty small...if possible make it user freindly...thanks
Thank you for the excellent program. I apologize for my English. Not bad, it would be in the input line to copy-paste, and a great author, please do similar programs on letitbit.net and depositfiles.com. Many thanks in advance.
Thanks for the good job! Could you make it possible to choose the directory path to save the file?
Nice work Bro
Small little app but works like a champ!! Works just like rapidshare auto downloader (for those who don't know, just google it coz this is a really convenient software for those who use rapidshare often) but in windows phone version.
Nice job
I decided to continue work on this application. So v0.2 you can download in first post.
Currently I'm working to support other One-Click-Hosters like hotfile, so check this thread time-to-time.
This seems like a really neat program, will be using now!
Thanks a lot!

Search
Hey great idea, but yea writing the web address is a pain, copy n paste would be good, but how about incorporating search!!!
Maybe hook up to a few search sites, use their code, and then be able to click on it, which inputs the address into what you already have!
Just a thought lol
Poodz
The lack of copy and paste is the one thing that annoys me about an otherwise great application!

Voice Search Force Close on Stock Rooted ROM [solved]

I'm using the stock rooted ROM, deodexed and the voice search app force closes. I've tried a factory reset and it still doesn't want to work.
Is this a known issue with the stock rooted rom? My searches on the net and on xda didn't come up with any useful info on how to fix this on the evo.
Edit: I installed the voicesearch.apk file from the Fresh ROM and that fixed it. I've attached it here.
Maybe try to reinstall the .apk for the voice search. I'm not sure where to find this, but if you know somebody with Fresh installed, it should be in their removed items folder.
I've got the same problem with the same rom, ill be interested to see how this develops.
Thanks for the tip! I found the VoiceSearch.apk from the Fresh ROM, installed it and voice search now works.
I tried attaching it here but I guess there's a spam filter for new users? I also can't post the link to where I found the apk on Android Central forums.
Maybe try a MediaFire link?
No, what I mean is when I try to post any outside link I get this message:
To prevent spam to the forums, new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed.

I'm guessing it's the same for posting attachments.

modify Rom preinstalled widget

Okay I searched the forum and maybe my terms weren't spot on but I couldn't find exacly what I was looking for, so if this thread is another drop in a sea of spam my apologies.
I recently flashed the AuraXTsense ROM on my Desire and it comes preinstalled with the genie widget. I wanted the transparent version so I downloaded the .apk and I tried to instal it with the application manager, unsuccessful and I'm sure it's not even the right way to go about about change a widget.
I also read somewhere of a adb I don't know if that's what I need but if any could send me a tutorial for adb, or to modify a preinstalled ROM app widget (or any kind of widget from any app) it would be really appreaciated.
thank you very much in advance
PS: I'm kinda new at this whole android thing sorry if my question may sound silly to some older member

I read about the alpharev s-off but I didn't think it would actualy be needed (I thought it was only for people who couldn't root their phone) I wil check it out thank you

[Q][02/02/2012]How to edit apk files

Hello people,
I am basically php developer.
So, if you can give me a chance to learn Android, I really appreciate it.
The question is that I really want to edit HtcContact.apk and SoftBank mail apk.
[1st Q]
What I want to do with the first one , HtcContact.apk, is that I want to add some field into it when editing the contacts.
This is because there is additional field something called "the reading of Chinese characters" in Japan.
This field enables to order the contact list.
Most of the roms do not contains this additional fields.
[2nd Q]
I want to modify SoftBank mail apk because I want to try MIUI ROM.
The problem with it is that I cannot receive the message using that app as MIUI uses different protocol or something.
I really do not know what to modify.
My knowledge is something like below.
I already installed Android environment in my PC(Win7).
I know how to flash radio too.
Best regards.
ROM: ARHD 6.3.2
Device: Desire HD
Radio: ARHD recommended radio
Im not a expert but dont you have to decompile the apk to do that. I recommend finding a open source contact app and modify that (or pick on that already have support for that function) and then replace the htc contact app
Q2 I have heard that miui i releaseing many of theirs apps as open source.

Thank you very much for your post.
I just tried to reinstall HtcContacts.apk.
However, after installed it, lots of errors are occurring and can not open contacts.
Maybe, I did wrong way to install.
What I did is i just install it using root explore.
Then, about Q2, I will ask someone in MIUI developers.
Thanks, anyways.
Hum.. Try clearing cache? Might remove the errors.
Ok...after work, i will try it.
