Root Post root - Can't uninstall bloatware

teej

Lurker
I did search and did not find anything useful. I just rooted my EVO, I installed Titanium Backup and attempted to install BusyBox with no luck. I want to get rid of the bloatware as that was my secondary objective to rooting, other than wireless tether. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
welcome to the forums! and congrats on getting your root on!!

what happens when you try and download busybox? are you doing it from the market? you can download through titanium backup. just click on "problems ?" on the bottom and it should automatically download it. after that you should be good to go. if you are still having problems you can uninstall then re-install titanium and click on the problems button again.

after that i would not delete the bloatware but just freeze them. it depends on what apps you want to remove. in the rooting for dummies guide/after rooting/section 2 there is a list of apps that are safe to freeze and a list of apps that you do not want to remove.

another way is to flash a rom that already has them removed. good roms to try would be myn's warm2.2, mikfroyo 4.5 and kings ultra unleashed r2. you can find them at the bottom of my sig. reference #2
 
I installed through the program as you suggested and it worked no problem - however I can not figure out how to actually use Titanium Backup, I get an overview screen and when I go to Menu, there is no obvious choice to freeze the apps.
 
Also I have debugging on and allow applications not from the market - I get an error message saying see warnings but I do not have any after fixing those. Already force closed the app and rebooted it as well.
 
there should be a backup/restore tab at the top. it is right next to the overview tab. from there you can select whatever app you want to freeze or backup.

not sure on your fc's though. what does the error say again? when does the error occur after the app is loaded?
 
I bought the pro version same problem - Then I restarted the phone twice and have the three options at the top - Will update it all goes well.
