Not sure ! I tried removing few of Sammy's bloatware and probably have somehow deleted the live wallpaper picker too. Is there anyway to re install the live wallpaper on to the phone ? ( I tried by downloading the apk and installing , but it failed ) .

I'm sure there is but i have no idea... in the future just freeze instead of uninstalling.. i know that doesn't help you now.

If it's feasible, do a full wipe and reflash of your rom or nandroid back.

Thank you. I'll try to find a solution, else I'd re-flash the ROM.

If anybody has a clue of how to have this feature back, thanks in advance .

Just freeze it. No need to delete it.

with the "App Name List" in 1st OP someone should make a script that we can run in ADB that will remove all files and wipe the cache.

I can not tell what the name of the apk files are to remove (odex and deodex)

if someone makes a script then please make sure it gets posted in the 1st message so we can have the choice to use titanium backup or adb

i install so many custom roms and switching back and fourth that a script would defintely make it alot easier.

ok i seen when using titanium backup root that it shows the actual name of the file when uninstalling so i typed the name of each file and matched it to the OP of the app names

[slickdealers]

Thanks! I needed the list again since I updated to MB1.

[E The Magnificent]

Nice one

I love the 90s. Good times.

 

[lytuantai]

i just update it too

 

[crixalis]

I just remove files from first post, now my phone is in boot loop

 

[Nut_House]

Currently running freeza's S-fre ROM with most of the apps listed in this post removed and am now getting amazing battery life. Most of the day, I'm connected to good wireless LANs and charge first thing every day. When I wake up, before plugging in the charger I'll have 65-70% remaining. That's with moderate to light usage during the day and a couple of hours of heavy browsing in the evening. YMMV, but it's working great for me.

Big thanks :good:
