Labor day drunkness made me mess up my Evo

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.

[Q] Deleting Bloatware after Perma-Root

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...

Of course, if you don't see this as being a problem for the future, please tell me. It would make me feel a lot more secure about things. Thanks!

it shouldnt be a problem, you can re download those in the market

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

i would love to know how to get rid of the annoying [email protected]!*& adds

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.

You could go to 'batch' then delete all backups, then run a fresh backup, I do that once in awhile

i used the command navigate to (Location)

i believe the alarm part does not work cause it depends on the clock from gs3

you should try the modded apk then cause not having any of those issues with that apk.

but u have to force install that apk file by coping it to system and changing permissions
that is to hard for some people

Es file explorer, super manager are easy to use not hard at all

if you want to post the file link to the other apk and detailed instructions i will add it to op

is the link in the OP the modded apk?

no

thats what im saying.. when modded apk is posted id try that. i had it but uninstalled already and didnt back it up. but it is good to have two options.. if its too hard to set permissions they can take your route .. i personally only used it to check weather lol.. and i did ask this:

your right, i apologize, I'm on CM9 alpha 4. epic 4g touch. and i did this "fix" and it wouldn't let me boot my phone so i had to re insatll the CM9 rom through odin to get it to boot again.
try it out if you guys want but make sure you have odin and whatever rom your currently on.

Hahaha couldn't help but laugh. Playya is right OPs are not responsible for what happens to your phone.

Should I revert back to the old build.prop before flashing a different rom?

[Q] How to disable "com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup" in Jelly Bean?

Hello,
Could someone please help me to stop service - com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup ?
This particular service is giving close to 1000 wake calls in very less time.
my phone is with stock rom & i have rooted it. I have read in one of the blog to delete "fast dormancy.apk" file. even though i delete that file, i can still see that service is wake calls to my phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

I couldn't find that file in Titanium backup application. Could you please tell me, if it will be displayed with a different name ?

Don't look for it in Backup & Restore. Go to Batch actions - All, scroll down to Un-install, press RUN where it says : Un-install all user and system apps, press DESELECT ALL, then search for that file, select only that file, and unistall it.

Sorry, am still not able to find "com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup" in the "Batch actions"..

Download Root Explorer, maybe that application will show you all the files in the SYSTEM.

well, i already use Root Explorer.. In System/app folder i can see this service with file name "fast dormancy.apk" .. But infact i don't see this service anywhere running.. so am gonna check if this is waking my phone again...

Well, I guess you don't really have com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup in your system, it's deleted somehow.

Actually using root explorer i removed those files from system/app. But still i was getting wake locks from that service when i saw in better battery stats application. thats why i started this post to know how to stop it totally.
Since here one person suggested to use titanium backup to freeze or delete it, i relocated those apk file again to system/app, now it seems that service is totally missing.. making me crazy!!!

Yes, do a repair, and after that if you still want to delete com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup, do it and don't restore it again. And you'll be fine.

okie but anyways for now i don't see it in better battery stats.. if i still see it i will try to repair it and delete it.
thanks for your time and suggestion..
