[ROOT] [ROM] The Dudes Root SHX and Custom ROM for CLIQ and DEXT v0.4.1 [12.26.2009]

[otto888]

So far, without exception, if you ever brick it, a clean flash with RSD Lite will revive it.

Thanks for telling me,but I'll just put them in the app vault(in market,great app for rooted devices) for now.

Crash? could you reboot and tell me if any problems come up? I need my CLIQ now that I gave my G1 away.

I had no problems rebooting. I deleted im.apk, myfaves.apk, umm, trying to remember the other one I deleted.

Still trying to find the imeem application...

Careful with removing google applications. Might break market access.

[nEx.Software]

Why would you want to get rid of GTalk?

Ok so why can't i see my phone in the RSD lite? I've installed the drivers but can't get my device to show up

I will give you the commands I ran, but, I would be very careful.
After gaining root and installing the SU package above, I did the following:

adb shell
cd system
cd app
ls

That allowed me to see what programs are installed that cannot be removed normally.
I then proceeded to do the following:

rm example.apk

I suggest you only delete things that are fairly self-contained. I don't know what would happen if you were to delete BLUR-related apps.
After doing this, you should probably do the following:

reboot

I would also delete files from dalvik-cache at the same time (/data/dalvik-cache/) to make sure that you delete all of the traces of removed apps. You can go as far as clearing that whole directory as a matter of fact, Android will rebuild it at the boot.

To those who want to remove Google apps: DON'T!!! It will give you all kind's of trouble. Also, can someone confirm that it's OK to remove MyFaves? Try rebooting and making a call, change a contact. MyFaves gave us all kinds of trouble in the original RC33 roms as it was tied in to Contacts, and Dialer and bunch of other things.

Here's a list of "safe" apps to remove (this is coming from G1, but I'm pretty sure that it would be true for any other phone)

Voice Dial
Voice Search
Amazon.mp3
IM
Audio Postcard
Email
Imeem
My Account
TeleNav
Shazam
Quick Office (although why would you remove that?)
Calculator (again, I would keep it)
Alarm Clock (if you use replacement, like Klaxon)

Dude, nice seeing you back...

any one know the .apk info for T-mobiles Mobile Backup? Anyone who has successfully removed the IM.apk was there anything else you had to remove. Thanks. Thanks.

@TheDude and Danation and every other guy working hard on getting Root on this bad boy, thanks so much! I'm looking forward to a clear guide on how to put custom versions of Android (Sense 2.1, gasp!) as well. I really appreciate the hard work every one has been doing and I am downloading all of the necessary files right now so I can be ready to hack this bad boy over my winter break!

I think it is networkaddress (something, sorry, didn't save name).apk

IM went away with just removing IM.apk (don't remove improvider).

Curious really, but I don't use google talk.
