There are a lot of people joining XDA on a daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked
which clutter up the Development and 'Q & A' threads. Point them here. Feel free to ask or answer questions.

The idea of this thread is to get users to help other users with their problems/questions. People are usually
ridiculed for asking questions that other people deem stupid even though it may be a legitimate question. This
leads to new users being afraid to ask questions!

Only provide well mannered help towards users in this thread. Please do not spoon feed, but rather point in
the direction where that user can find an answer
and educate himself. If you don't want to answer, at least
point out where to find the answer.



Before posting anything, I strongly advise you to read THIS thread.

Then, have a quick look at the names of threads in Post No. 2, you might find what you need right away.

Third. Even if you do get your question answered, please do come back and read threads in Post No. 2
(coming later as soon as we start getting the guides) to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time
and frustration it will save you in the future!



No abuse towards noobs tolerated here! That means:
NO TROLLING
NO NAME CALLING
NO RIDICULING
NO FLAMING


ASK ANY QUESTION HERE! No question is stupid or irrelevant in this thread. You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.

You have to be rooted to be abke to do that...
There are many apps on playstore that offer to remove the system apps..
I use root freezer pro to freeze apps and delete unwanted one...
Alternatively once rooted , you may go to root/system/app , find ur app and delete the apk from there...

if it's helping you it must be thanked.

Its better to first freeze the unwanted apps to see if disabling them will cause any issues. Then, once ur sure that it won't affect u, uninstall those apps. :)

I tried the method, but once I flash with .10 version...my phone will not boot..
it gives vibration at the start, like it is about to, but nothing shows in the screen..I can start it only when I flash it again with .54 version.
Followed this guide?
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34983966

It says u should restore the .54 kernel after rooting.

So after u flash .54 and it starts, did u check if the phone was successfully rooted?

Celkon A200 stuck in boot loop and tried to flash stock rom with sp tool not working.

I first rooted my celkon a200(rootunroot.bat), after that i installed titanium backup, folder mount.. and i uninstalled some system apps like live tv, celkon world,etc..
then i rebooted my phone, after rebooting it was stuck in the boot loop, so again i tried in recovery mode to back up my datas.. but no space was there on internal sd to back up, so i left that option and tried wiping/factory reset.. after that i rebooted initially celkon logo came and instead of the boot animations screen went black.. nothing was happening,

then i searched and found this post
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2258245
this forum has mentioned the same problem which i'm facing.. and suggested me to flash my stock rom back.

i downloaded all the things as mentioned in the above list( flash tool, drivers, software), first installed all the drivers(and rebooted system), then opened sp flash tool, loaded scatter loading file,then clicked firmware upgrade ,and after pc checksum processing connected my mobile,-- then nothing was happening, then i tried removing and putting the battery back, and main problem is my phone is not getting flashed with the tool... i'm helpless,.. somebody please help me to get me back to my stock rom..
please help me...

Hard Bricked s3? (t999)

I was being stupid -__- i accidentally flashed a international Stock rom onto my S3 my s3 is a SGH-T999 and now it wont power on :'( if i hold the power button it will vibrate but the screen will not turn on. When i plug my phone into my PC it begins to charge and this is the only time the screen turns on (battery charging animation), the computer also recognizes something and attempts to install drivers. Is there anything i can do? If not is there any places in the SF bay area where i could get this fixed? :'( i need my phone back by monday and the situation is looking grim.
