I rooted the other day and am running CM6 on my Evo. I don't much like ADW launcher, so I installed Launcher Pro. Every time I reboot my phone it defaults back to ADW. So today, I decided to buy Root Explorer and delete the APK for ADW in my system/apps folder, along with a couple other apps that I don't use. Without doing much research (drinking), I proceeded to delete some APKs. My phone will now not boot. It is stuck on the boot animation (which is beautiful).
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can fix this issue? I promise to never delete anything again, and stop drinking.
Thanks!

Yeah hold the volume down +power button while the phone is off till you get to the white screen and select recovery.
reflash from there.

well what you should have done is:
1. don't delete something if you don't know what it is
2. simply go to menu>settings>apps>manage apps>adw launcher and hit clear defaults
now to fix it... boot into recover wipe everything and re-flash
HAHA yes thank you. I forgot about my nandroid. Extended memory loss is one of the greatest side effects.
So do you know the proper way to remove apps using root explorer? Or will CM6 trip out if I touch any of its preloaded apps? Thanks for the help

I understand this. I did read to delete the apk in the system/apps folder on multiple articles. It's a completely legit way to remove apps according to many people.
And of course I tried to clear ADW's defaults, if that worked I wouldn't be trying to delete it. It starts whenever it wants to despite me telling it not to.

So being the impatient soul I am, right after I got permanent root, I decided to jump into Titanium Backup and deleted some of the bloatware. I was so impatient, that I totally forgot to backup the system apps I deleted to a backup folder on my SDcard, so now those apks are gone. My question is now, if an OTA becomes available, am I going to have problems again, just like with Paul's Goggles app?
If so, what do you suggest I do? I am guessing now that now root has been achieved, we can install those apps to the system just fine again. Can someone upload these apks for these system apps, so I just feel on the safe side and I have backups? I would greatly appreciate it...

Goddamn it. Now I went to uninstall Email.apk to replace it with an old one that doesn't require remote security, but it keeps giving me an "Application not installed" error, even with the backup of the original.
How do I get it to install?!

You don't install system apps, you just move then into /system/app/
its likely if an OTA becomes available a dev will mod it to be flashable to rooted and modified /system/ devices

Okay, I feel much better now. Time to play around with this thing! So excited!
Yea if an ota comes out, it will be modded to update the system and skip files not found, if there is a patch.
So your good. I'm just waiting for custom recovery with nandbackup before I start messing n the system. I just hate setting up the phone all over after
And if all else fails you can fastboot flash system.img from the orig pc10img. Wiping all your data and formating ur system. Then updating to ota.

Just use Titanium Backup to uninstall any apps you want. Long click on the app, and an uninstall option will be there.

Ok.... I made a few backups via nandroid using cwm. When I checking CWM I noticed that I had 4 backups.
1 of the backups was when I was using Bonsai 3, and has a program I want. It is not in the market anymore.
When I restored that backup I went back to Bonsai 3.
If I install the backup I made last night I get Bonsai 4, but I lose the program.
Also if I connect my phone to my laptop under Bonsai backup I only have 1 file which is 1kb so where are these backup files?
Thanks for the help! The newbies like me appreciate it.

I think there is a way. Someone else had a similiar problem and wanted to get their text message data out. It is in the thread below where 00dwan talks about unyaffs and data files. Seems a bit complicated but if the app is that important here you go. What is the name of the app? Maybe someone still has it and can upload it to you.

Hope this helps.
Also you can restore the Bonsai 3 backup with the app and then using Android Mate or any of a dozen backup programs, backup the app, or send it to the SD card, and then resinstall it after putting Bonsai 4 on.

Its actually wallpaper (yeah I know its stupid). I got it off the market it was called Nba wallpaper by nametz. It is not in the market anymore. I could not figure out how to move the file. I can press on hold on my home screen then click on wallpaper. I then can install from the gallery, wallpaper, or this file which is ... somewhere.
I tried titanium backup in the past which I thought was simple since it was set to back up everything once a week. However when I needed to install the data and files again I could not. So If you could recommend a simple program that is idiot proof I would appreciate it.

So it was actually an application that you downloaded from the market? With the app on your phone, get android mate from the market. Open it, look for the NBA Wallpaper app, then long press on it. An option will come up to back up. Do that and you will be able to restore it on Bonsai 4. If it is just a wallpaper it should be a jpg somewhere. Root explorer may help you find it. If you can see it in the Gallery then you can long press on it there and get the details of it, share it by sending it to yourself or other options.
Ok I did what you said, and dl android mate. However the file is not listed. Its not under applications. It is not listed under downloads, but it is set at my current wallpaper

LOL! Jumping on a plane now...
Glad I could help.
So i have read many post and i mean many and i am still working my brain on catching on to all these. If you all notice, there is a lot to rooting, what you can do, names to things, so so much my brain hurts lol.
But, finally after almost 2 years of being here, 3 phones i grabbed my cojones and rooted my SG2 while still stock. So here are some things. I was going nuts to get Nandroid backup, come to find out that is just a normal back up while in recovery mode.
Now i was trying to do some things with Titanium Backup but got a bit confused. I noticed that with the lite version, I can only uninstall apps not freeze. I want to clean my phone from all the clogs, especially when i notice my memory use shows most of the time 550m-769m, which i have to keep cleaning it. Hoping, removing some apps will help this. What is the difference between freezing and uninstalling. Also, i came across:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...SENVeXlqUm5vV0E&single=true&gid=0&output=html
Which it suppose to tell me which i can which i cant. Does this still apply with ICS? And looking at the list, all greens are good, correct?
Also, using root explorer is kinda weird. I was trying to install S Voice which it seems to be a big pain. For one, i have the package in a folder. When searching for it with Root Explorer, and i find S Voice, try to change permission it wont let me. Telling me the following, "Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems (e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes."
Also, trying to copy something into my system/app wont let me either.
What am i doing wrong? or missing?
thanks in advance.

I know the difference from freezing and uninstalling is that freezing halts the app from running and removes it from your app list. If you are uninstalling something you think is bloat, back it up first, in case it screws things up you can restore it. Freeze is a good way to test whether or not you want to just simply uninstall it.
Titanium Backup Pro is totally worth the few bucks though if you can afford it.. a real good buy..
As far as the other stuff, I don't mess with system/app things so maybe someone else can help with that.
For the green-coloured apps, I would make sure I have an alternate app that can take care of that feature of the phone. For example you can remove the camera app, but without a replacement/alternate app your phone won't have a camera function.
TBP is the perfect app to test whether an app is good to remove. Just freeze it and see if your phone acts up. My understanding is that freezing=not letting an app run, uninstalling=getting rid of it.
In terms of not having the permission to copy files in the system directories, you may need to install a terminal emulator to change the permissions and do the copying manually.
Thank you guys and sorry for the very late reply. Using TBP i was able to FREEZE many apps, decided to go this route, i was and still am abit afraid of damaging something and not being able to go back and fix it.
However, i still have a few situations. Even freeze so many apps my battery still dies very fax with little use i give the phone. I also see the following apps under my memory usage and i do not know what they are and if they can be froze too to even get more memory back.
Enterprise VPN Service
IPService
SIM Toolkit
CSC
Bluetoothtest (i know that is the bluetooth but do not know if there is a way to freeze this program)
Google Services Framework
Package Access Helper

Atmazzz i want to say thank you. Doing what you said helped my hang. I do not have that problem anymore. But i am wondering if fixing the permission could have be the cause i lost S Voice talkback feature. What i mean, is that after doing the wipe cache/dalvik and fixing permissiong, now my S Voice does not talk back to me. No matter how many time i restart the phone or whatever i do, it wont talk anymore.
On another note, thanks to you, i have come to understand more about all the rooting. All i have to do now is soon gets some strength and install a new rom than stock. But there are so many, i do not know which one to use. Especially with the official ICS i bet they are better now.
I just also hope that neither of the rom come with the bricking problem. As far as i read it only happens when using ICS kernel and my phone is 0X12 so i get worry.
Okay, what the hell?! Every now and again (usually when I'm running Dolphin Browser and/or trying to cut/copy/paste) I get a floating notification at the bottom of the screen that says 'shell has been granted Superuser permissions'! It flashes a few times and then my phone restarts. When it turns back on, I have to restart Juice Defender and SwiftKey (default keyboard ALWAYS comes back, even if I shut down or restart myself!) manually. I went into the Superuser application the other day and there was nothing in there by the name of 'shell.' In fact, the only two things I have granted Superuser permissions to are Titanium Backup and the Android System (is this the culprit, I wonder). Either way, this problem has become a real pain in my ass. It always happens at the most inconvenient times. I would really, REALLY appreciate a solution to this problem.
Also, I have my phone set up just the way I like it, as far as the layout and what not. I've only rooted my phone, I have not replaced the G/UI or OS. If I backup my phone on Kies, wipe it and restore the backup, will it restore the root, Superuser, etc? Or just my apps, data, UI layout and what not? I'm beginning to think that I don't know enough about rooting, or just have horrible luck with it, and need to just run the phone stock. Is there a way to root, delete bloatware and unroot?
Thanks in advance for the help! I appreciate it.

Does it happen every time you copy paste something? Have you tied other browsers to copy paste from?
Something could have happened during rooting. I assume you have a cusom recovery? I might try and flash Chainfire's root method found here http://download.chainfire.eu/324/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.30.zip It will just overwrite the supersu and the su binaries.
If that doesn't do anything for ya I would Odin back to the stock rooted ROM found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 and start over. Or try one of many great custom ROM that are available.
I don't know what else you could do. If you could get a logcat it would definitely help find out why you are having these issues, and actually solve them. There are plenty of resources on how to obtain a logcat here on xda. Or try an app from the store to save the logcat. PM me with the attachment and I will look at it for you.
I could be totally wrong. BUT I think its samsung doing it. When I denied it permissions it restarted. I did it again and it did the same. I think its intertwined b.c I never had it with AOSP roms
