[REF] Which Apps are Safe to remove after Root? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Thanks to the Devs for the awesomely easy root process. The Tmo SGS2 is my first Android phone and this was my very first root experience. After reading the HOW TO thread, the screen shots below are what I've uninstalled/frozen thanks to Ti Backup Pro. What are you guys uninstalling and what kind of performance gains/battery boosts if any do you think you're seeing?

If you need any uninstalled apps back they should be in the system dump thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300682

Moved to proper forum.

Thanks. For the record I don't notice any performance differences, maybe battery life today will investigate.

I lost my notifcation bar by acident can any body upload it?

Can anybody make a list of the apps to delete? The actual file names, not the program names. (For use with Root Explorer).

/system/app/Android_Pro.apk

Anyone know what app handles the 611 redirection ? Thought it would be 411 & more, but I got rid of that and 611 still redirects.
In case anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, try calling 611 (customer service) - the phone actually drops to another app that turns on the speaker and talks to you there - it's OBNOXIOUS.

Odex system files.

Trying to push system odex files, from a different ROM to my current. I've fixed permissions, etc. I can't get it to install. Btw, its the sense clock widget. No matter what I do, I can't find it in the widget list. Even after a reboot. What am i missing? The ROMs are compatible, same Sense version. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

So you are trying to push the HtcClockWidget.apk from your pc to your phone? Have you tried using a file manager to move the file to the app folder?

Have you set group and owner to root? Actually pushing from a pc should give it the correct owner and group, using a file explorer wont. Other than that im not sure why it wont show up.

Thank you, but I just restored a nandroid. I was trying to get the EVO classic minimal flip clock on my current hybrid. I'm gonna look at the EVO mikg hybrid. It got a theme with the same clock.
Edit: Just did it the hard way. I just replaced all the .png files and pushed.

I accidentally uninstalled the connections setting app that came with me Gio. I installed a few other connection settings app but I like the original one the best and I would like to know where I can obtain a copy of it. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the file. Unfortunately I don't use windows. I use Linux which allows me to see the sdcard but not anything else.

I also tried installing a few different file manager apps which ask me to install the file but end up failing also. Any ideas?

If you use terminal, you problably have root acces.
Search market, or google, because I cant post it here.
Search ROOT EXPLORER, install it, give it root acces, and copy the file to /system/app then install it and reboot.

I tried doing that but I every time I try to install root explorer always says "application not installed". I used root explorer 2.16 if that helps any.

App2zip

Go check out this app in the market.
It creates a zip of your apps that you can flash in cwm when you wipe phone. I know for a fact it doesn't work on Eugene's cm7 but maybe it works on other Roms. Test it first

For addictive flashers like me, this application is a God send!!
There are some bugs but here's the way to fix it:
0. Install the APPS2ZIP application from the link above.
1. Get a root file browser
2. Copy the "update-binary" file found in any T989 roms ZIP file \meta-inf folder.
3. Paste/overwrite the file here: /data/data/scd.app2zip/files
and then run the APPS2ZIP to create the update.zip file.
I have tested this file and it works great!! Its like flashable Titanium Backup restore !!
Well looking here we can make it work. Ill be testing on my lunch break!

Not to sure. Will give it a try and find out. If it doesn't titanium will restore app data way quicker once they installed.

Yes, it restores data as well. Infact its the bad thing, I wanted it to have the option of just restoring the app and no data.
Not sure how the folder structure for CM7 is, I tested it on BeastMod5. Can you look in /data location. It should be there.

I can't count the hours I spent re-setting up all my apps after flashing. I never want to use Ti backup since I screwed it up once. This seems much easier for me.
EDIT - What's the difference between free and paid? Usually there is a change log. Or is it just a donation version?
Not to sure. All I know is that this thing is awesome haha. An integration with cwm would be cool

ROOT REQUIRED!
App2zip allows to backup applications directly to a zip file flashable via CUSTOM recovery.
Building your own update.zip file is easy:
1) Choose the apps to be included in the zip file (you can pick system apps too)
2) Click GO! and wait until the zip is done. That's it!
You can download it from google play

@ssaass, you misunderstood. I understand that I don't need to backup the file because I don't have it. Neither does your link....
Your link implies that there are 2 files: an apk & an odex file. The apk is missing. Both links provide the same file, the odex. Do you have the apk or was that a mistake in your post?
