Re: get rid of crapware?
one way, which you may have done already is to prevent the customization from running.
In order to do this you have to hard reset your ppc and when the dialog box comes up saying "customization will start in ## seconds" soft reset the device. I've done this for all my ROMs as I've only run official Sprint ROMs and haven't had a problem. There are still some things like the e Java thingy, Voice Speed Dial and I believe a music store, but I've deleted the shortcuts to all those as I never use them and have no idea what Java even does... If you are willing to run cooked custom ROMs you can find much more cleaner and slimmer ROMs by no2Chem which have additional functionalities. From what I understand you are able to build your own ROMs as well and pick and choose what you want included. Last edited by Darkjedi; 07-10-2008 at 11:42 PM. |

It's the 'leaked' but official shipped version of the new Sprint ROM. Sprint hasn't released this version publicly yet, but its relatively safe to say that this is the one they will be releasing in the coming weeks. |

Re: get rid of crapware?
I had tried this once before when the first ROM that had GPS functionality came out, and the GPS wouldn't work for me when I soft reset before the custom apps are loaded. I re-did the flash without resettig, and GPS worked fine...

Re: get rid of crapware?
GPS works perfectly for me without customization. In fact for 3.35, customization supposedly screwed up the GPS where it would take 30-60 seconds to lock on instead of the less than 10 it's supposed to. There was a couple of regedits/tweaks to fix this issue posted a little while back. I wouldn't know if there were the case, as I've run the phone without customization basically the day I got it.
