First of all, you pay attention to impressive design and the most modern flagship hardware. But no less pleasant surprises await users when they get acquainted with updated version... In particular, you should pay attention to the functionality of BlinkFeed ("Blinkfeed") - a universal aggregator of news, updates from social networks, weather information, etc. The function, no doubt, is convenient, but not all users need it.
There is a built-in function to disable BlinkFeed. The disabling method described in this article works in Sense 5.0.
Since BlinkFeed is unopposed built into the shell, the output for numerous fans is more classic look the user interface boils down to reassigning the default desktop. Here's how it's done.
- From home screen BlinkFeed swipe left: the desktop will open, almost identical to the one in the standard user interface Android.
- Now either press on a free part of the screen and hold your finger until the settings menu appears, where you can edit the functions of the desktops, or do a "pinch" (pinch your fingers) to access the same menu.
- At the top of the screen is a miniature view of all desktops active on the device, while the BlinkFeed panel is on the left. This is where you can select the screen that will serve as your main desktop. To do this, hold your finger on the desktop icon, after which the options "Install as main screen"On the left and" Delete "on the right. Next, you need to drag the desired panel to the place of BlinkFeed and click "Set as home screen".
- After that, a small icon will appear on the selected panel, indicating a successful change to the default desktop, and BlinkFeed will remain running on one of the backup desktops.
Next, go to Settings> Apps> All Apps, where find and first stop (Force Stop) and then disable the following services: HTC News Plugin, Location Picker, Local Feed Provider, Social Feed Provider. If your phone has infrared port, turn off the TV program. After making the changes, restart your smartphone.
The method is suitable not only for One, but also for other smartphones from the company with BlinkFeed: Desire 500, 600, Butterfly S, One mini.
It is important to note that on standard firmware completely remove news feed it is impossible from the Sense interface (a black block will remain in its place), but in the disabled form it will not consume energy and traffic.
Sometimes users have a question about how to remove tips and help from BlinkFeed. This is done as follows: "Settings"> "Applications"> "Tips and Help": you need to clear the application data, then set the "Manual" option in the update settings. Alternatively, uncheck Settings> About phone> Help> Show on-screen tips.
You can hide "Tips and Help": on the main screen of this program, swipe down from the top, click on the three dots that appear at the top and select "Hide application".
I think many owners HTC Desire were in a situation where the device starts to complain about the lack free space in ROM, while refusing, for example, to synchronize mail. This is aggravated by the fact that all programs that support the transfer to SD have already been transferred, and it seems like there are 2 ways left: delete some applications or change the phone.
I think both options are unacceptable, because only really demanded software is installed (like Navitel and 2GIS). Besides, Desire is not outdated at all, and it performs its functions perfectly.
As a result of a search on the Internet, a way was found to make it so that "the wolves are fed and the sheep are safe" - do not lose installed programs, and get about 50MB of free space.
The post does not pretend to be technical novelty, and many of the utilities used have already been mentioned, incl. on Habré. I decided to put together piecemeal information and set out in the form of instructions - what to do and what happens. I have successfully completed all these steps on my Desire.
Traditional warning:
1) All of the following is for informational purposes only. If you want to repeat it, then only at your own peril and risk, extremely carefully and without haste!
3) As a result of these actions, the device will void the warranty!
So, the initial data is HTC Desire PCT c official. Android 2.2 (firmware version 2.29.405.5), NOT rooted, not "branded". Those. what many users have in their hands.
If you have a locked device, or bought abroad, google on keyword"Goldcard", because there are a number of features that I will not dwell on.
The essence of the manipulations is as follows:
1.we get root rights
2. make S-OFF bootloader
3. make an additional section on the USB flash drive to install the software there
4.install the Link2SD utility from the market and transfer the programs from ROM to the previously created section
In the course of all these actions, subject to care and accuracy, the data in the phone and on the memory card will be safe and sound. But it's better to make a backup ;-)
Let's get started!
1. Getting root rights
Way getting root has been known for a long time, and I will not repeat it here.
2. Making S-OFF
What is S-OFF in general? HTC devices have security called secuflag. Thanks to it, the / system and / recovery partitions are mounted in read-only mode. Therefore, even with rooted rights, we cannot change their content.
A group of individuals calling themselves Alpharev managed to disable this protection, i.e. make S-OFF. The mentioned partitions / system and / recovery will be mounted for reading / writing, this will be used further, in step 4.
As a bonus, you get the opportunity to change system files directly from the phone, change the download picture, etc., delete unnecessary programs from the firmware.
Before starting the procedure for obtaining S-OFF:
1.Charge the device fully
2. check that your Desire has HBOOT version 0.93.0001 (this version is installed with the official firmware 2.2)
3.Get root-rights (see item 1)
Even today it was:
Comments:
werty: Here's the news, so news, on w3bsit3-dns.com this instruction has been lying for a year already
Blah connoisseurs
Alexander: Well, not all 4pd read
vlodimer: for myself, I solved this problem right away - cyanogen + c2m
coroud: and not easier, if with root, put the a2sd script, and through the terminal in three commands transfer both programs and davilik cache?
Oleg: Tried Cyanogen, Oxygen and RuHD. It didn't work. When using the device, it constantly hangs tightly, rolled back to the official 2.2
Mr. Anderson: There is an even more radical option - AOSP firmware (see CM7)
Even without an ext-partition with the same software as on the drain, 65 meters are free, while literally 5 programs were transferred to sd, instead of a total cleanup.
And this is without changing the partition table, from which you can squeeze at least 50 MB from the system.
Today we will talk about such a question as deleting applications on the communicator. Or rather about system applications HTC Desire and deleting them on your device.Communicator HTC Desire has won deserved popularity among Android fans. But most users have a question about how to get rid of system applications that are not needed and never used.For this purpose, we need activated root rights on Desire and the adb package installed on the computer.First, we activate the ability to write to the system area. For this purpose we will connect the communicator to the computer via USB. On the computer, run the command line (Start - Run - CMD).V command line write: adb reboot recovery... The communicator goes into recovery mode.We type in the command adb string shell. The first character on the command line is changed to a "#" sign.Next, we type the command mount -o rw -t yaffs2 / dev / block / mtdblock3 / systemThe entire system area allows you to write and read information from it.Before deleting system HTC apps Desire, I would advise you to back up.To do this, we type the exit command. Then we type adb command shell ls system / data. You will be presented with a list of available system applications (files with APK extension). We select those applications that we want to save and type the following commandadb pull system / app / where in in this case — full name system file from the list provided to you earlier. The system file will be copied to the folder that was originally opened on the command line (for example, C: UsersSample)Now we turn to the most important thing in our operation, to the removal. I want to note that not all system applications are recommended to be removed. It is not recommended to uninstall such a system application as Rosie, it is necessary for HTC Sense... Applications like Quick Office, Teeter, Facebook and Peep for example can be removed painlessly.So, in order to uninstall HTC Desire system apps, you need to:- go into shell mode, for this we type the adb shell command- we type the command cd system / app (go to the folder containing system applications)- we type ls (display the list of applications)-select the application that we want to remove, and type the rm command, where in this case is the full name of the application from the list. Upon completion of the command specified application will be deleted from the communicator. If there are files with the same name and ODEX extension, delete them with the rm command.After completing all operations to remove and further normal work communicator, you need to restart it.To restore system applications, you need to perform several simple operations... Activate the ability to write to the system area (as described at the beginning). Find the required system file(saved on your computer in advance) and type the command:adb push, system / app /, where in this case is the full name of the file that we are installing on the communicator.
Using these instructions, you can not only uninstall HTC Desire system applications, but also restore them to your device.
