Thanks to sir DOKY73 for this adb shell script..
BY sir DOKY73
I explicitly warn again everyone,
If you do not really understand what you do inside the shell, then wait for some!
YOU CAN POTENTIALLY HARM YOUR DEVICE!
If you doing something wrong with bml15, you might cause unrecoverable issues

just getting board......have you done this?
can you give me screen shots on pc?
OP thanks for the info, i was able to change my provider to another one.
did anybody found a code which accepts all the different sims?
its tedious to edit bml15 every time i want to swap a sim.
maybe we could ask openline phones to upload their bbml15.bin so i can compare the strings on the addresses...they would be on same address

Create a script to automate the process (theory).
maybe you could make one?? but the important thing is the mcc mnc of an openlined bml15.bin

already done that...maybe forum mods might want to move it there
An appeal to upload your "openline/unlocked" bml15.bin
guys, if anyone of you have an unlocked/openline phone, please upload your bml15.bin.. Seriously, this thread booms with potential. You can at last forget about going to a service center just to get your unit openlined.
@devion14
i'll be making a flashable zip if there is an openline bml15.bin uploaded. and i expect you will be the first daredevil to try and attest the validity of this thread
PS. I wonder if bmlunlock will work with this bml15.bin.

Hello
i want to expand the memory a little bit
so tried to use
Swapper - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.azasoft.free.swapper&hl=en
Swapper 2 (for root users) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lv.n3o.swapper2
then testing with free command on the Terminal Emulator
but it's still showing me that the swap equals to zero
so my question is "does CM9 support swap file"
and if yes "how can i create a working swap files"

If you're using Arco's CM9, then I can say: Yes, it supports swap files. See below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As for "how to create one" ... here's how:
1. Creating a Swap File
Determine where you will place your swapfile* . For purposes of illustration, I will use /xxx/yyy. Remember to change this to the actual directory!
Open Terminal
Enter these commands; do not type the numbers, remember to replace /xxx/yyy with an actual path, and replace zzz with the size of swapfile you want (in MiB)
Code:
su
cd /xxx/yyy
touch .SWAP
dd if=/dev/zero of=/xxx/yyy/.SWAP bs=1048576 count=zzz
mkswap .SWAP
Test the swapfile with the following code, again in Terminal:
Code:
swapon /xxx/yyy/.SWAP
free
Once you see that the swapfile is working, turn it off again.
Code:
swapoff /xxx/yyy/.SWAP
2. Activating Swap File on Boot
Download the attached 99swap.txt
EDIT the downloaded 99swap.txt !! You must replace /xxx/yyy with the actual directory.
Optionally, replace the SWAPNESS value (range between 0 ~ 100)
Make sure you have a working init.d! If your ROM does not support a working init.d, then stop; see next section
Rename the file to 99swap
Copy the file to /system/etc/init.d (remember to mount /system rw first)
Open terminal, and enter the following commands:
Code:
cd /system/etc/init.d
chown root.shell 99swap
chmod 4755 99swap
ls -l 99swap
Reboot your phone, and check the logfile, which should be /data/local/99swap.log
3. Activating Swap File on Boot using Script Manager
Download Script Manager here
From within SManager, find your edited 99swap.txt file, and tap on it
Activate "Root" and "Boot" buttons, then tap on "Save"
Reboot your phone, and check the logfile, which should be /data/local/99swap.log

Cool
One tip : Change the SWAPNESS value to 40. After extensive testing, I think 40 is better than the current value of 20.

thanks for your method, it works very well and I solved the problem with the ram of my I8150 and some related freezing.
I have only a problem with the activation on boot, I followall the steps but in the log file is always explained that "the directory ttt/ttt was not found. Is it mounted ? " (ttt/ttt is the correct folder of the .SWAP file).
I have this problem either on internal and external sdcard (I prefer the internal because it's too quick without lagging).
Can you help me understandig the problem ?
Thanks a lot and sorry for my English.
I run on Samsung I8150 + Cyanogenmod9 rc8 - fully working with 350 mb of swap file on internal sd (reserved for cwm backup and swap, I used the CM9 option for cross the internal and external sd.

Yeah, it seems some ROMs mount the directories late; when the script triggers, the SD cards (internal/external) are not there already.
I have been playing with nohup command, but I just can't get it to run reliably on such ROMs.
So, I suggest going the SManager route instead. It's much more reliable. Besides, you really *don't* want to use a Swapfile during Boot; it slows down things because when the kernel sees that swapfile is available... it starts swapping (almost) right away. You'll need Swapfile during normal usage, so activating the Swapfile after the phone finishes booting actually makes more sense...
(BTW, I'm sorry I can't maintain this anymore... I no longer have my W; it's been handed over to my little-brother-in-law, and I've moved on to a new phone...)

thank you very much for your reply, I understand that is not mine mystake if it'sn run
I will continue to launch the swap file using the terminal emulator and swapon command but...
as the folder addre is too much long and write it anytime manually in the terminal emulator is possible to create some script or anything else to be launched manually without writing anytime all the command line (similar to an .bat file,sorry I don't known linux and on , I'm still a winzozz slave..) ?
sorry for my bad english explaination, and in any case thank you for your interesting and support.
best regards
+++updated+++ I solved in the terminal emulator - left touch for setup - initial command - I wrote
'su' - "press enter"
'swapon /xxx/yyy/.SWAP' - "press enter"
now everytine I open the terminal emulator the swap file starts automatically, so I need only to tap the app and after exit.
too easy,too quick
thanks a lot, you solved my situation. now I link2sd finally check the ext3 secondary primary partition on the sd I solved everything (but it's difficult, I create the ext3 partition resizing the existant fat 32 primary partitionand thisi is a trouble, I suppose...

Android Shell Command Reference Page History
A "shell" is a program that listens to keyboard input from a user and performs actions as directed by the user. Android devices come with a simple shell program. This shell program is mostly undocumented. Since many people are curious about it I thought I'd write up some documentation for it.
Common problems
The built-in shell has very limited error handling. When you type a command name incorrectly it will say "permission denied", even though the real problem is that it couldn't find the command:
$ dir
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
dir: permission denied <---- this is a misleading error message, should say 'dir: not found'
$ ls
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
... listing of current directory
The PATH variable
The Android shell will run any program it finds in its PATH. The PATH is a list of directories. You can find out what your shell's PATH is set to by using the built-in echo command:
$ echo $PATH
/data/local/bin:/sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Depending upon your shell, you may see a different result.
Built in Commands
Every shell has a few built-in commands. Some common built-in commands are:
echo -- prints text to stdout.
set -- sets shell variables
export -- makes shell variables available to command-line programs
cd -- change the current directory.
pwd -- print name of the current directory.
Commands
To find out what commands you have available to you, use the "ls" command on each of the directories in the PATH variable.
Finding documentation for the Android commands.
Many of the Android commands are based on standard Linux (or bsd) commands. If you're curious about a command, you can sometimes learn how it works by using the "man" command on a desktop Linux or OSX (Apple Macintosh) computer. The Linux or OSX version of the command may be different in details, but much of the documentation will still apply to the Android version of the command.
Another source of documentation for people without a Linux or OSX machine handy is to use a web browser and use a web search engine to search for the text: "man Linux command-name".
List of commands
The following is a list of the commands that are present on a Nexus S phone running an Android 2.3.3 "user-debug" build. Many of these commands are not present on a "user" phone. (They are missing from a "user" phone because they are specific to developing or debugging the Android operating system.)
$ ls /data/local/bin
/data/local/bin: No such file or directory
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Notice that by default there is no /data/local/bin directory. You can create this directory using the "mkdir" command if you like.
$ ls /sbin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
opendir failed, Permission denied
The /sbin directory exists, but you don't have permission to access it. You need root access. If you have a developer phone, or otherwise have root access to your phone you can see what's in this directory.
$ su
# ls /sbin
ueventd
adbd
# exit
$
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Notice that the shell prompt changes from a '$' to a '#' to indicate that you have root access.
Notice also that neither of the /sbin commands are useful to the shell -- the adb and ueventd files are 'daemon' programs used to implement the Android Debugger "adb" program that is used by developers.
$ ls /vendor/bin
gpsd

hi, do you know how to stop a terminal process? I mean, for example if I run logcat, then how can I exit it? in linux I used to press CTRL + C, here in terminal emulator I have to close and reopen the terminal..
also, pressing UP arrow in linux terminals, you see the previous commands you run, is there something similar in android temrinal?
thanks a lot in advance!

You need to use ctrl+c
For that, see the combo. It must be "volume down+C"
It does works ^
I use it many times.

PREREQS
Nexus Device that has a system app you do not want
Grade school diploma (i.e. ability to read)
THE SKINNY
WHAT IS NIGHTLY UPDATER
Nightly Updater is an AROMA installer for those that
yearn to have the cleanest device. Since I first
owned an HTC Droid Eris, I have been wiping bloatware
off of my device. Flash foward to my latest devices -
LG Nexus 4 and the 2013 Asus Nexus 7 and there ain't
much bloatware... But, all AOSP ROMs tend to come with
at least one or two apps that I can do without (and
sometimes a lot more). Nightly Updater is a simple
tool that allows users to remove unwanted system
applications in an easy manner. NU also allows users
to customize which apps are removed.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Nightly Updater works by relying on scripts that
read txt files. When customizing your script, the
installer looks for junk.txt in the "NU" folder of
your virtual (i.e. internal) SD card. Each line that
has not been "commented out" (i.e. does not have a
"#" at the front of it) or any terms (i.e. app
descriptions) that follow a "#" are removed from the
script. This leaves Nightly Updater with a clean text
file that only has the applications you want to remove.
Review:
Custom Script is called: junk.txt
Custom Script goes here: /sdcard/NU/junk.txt
#Chrome.apk -- NOT DELETED FROM DEVICE
Chrome.apk -- DELETED FROM DEVICE
Chrome.apk #Google Browser -- AFTER "#" IGNORED
HOW DO I ADD MY OWN APPS
You can add your own apps in three ways: [1] name (without
apk), [2] name (with apk), or [3] file path.
[1] Name (without ".apk")... Just type:
Code:
Chrome
The installer will automatically know it is looking for an apk and
delete Chrome.apk.
[2] Name (with ".apk")... Just type:
Code:
Chrome.apk
I think you know what it does.
[3] Full File Path... Now, you can get a little funkier and do the entire
file path like:
Code:
/data/app/Chrome.apk
This comes in
handy for files like pre-loaded wallpapers and
ringtones you may want to remove. Be cognizant of
where the files you are removing are located! This
will become very important when telling Nightly
Updater where to scan.
By the way, Nightly Updater also recognizes wildcards.
This is great for those user apps that end up having
unpredictable file names. For example:
Code:
/data/app/com.google.android.youtub*.apk
com.google.android.youtube*
These are both ways of erasing YouTube regardless of
the "-X" at the end of the file name.
WHAT'S UP WITH SCANNING
When using a Custom Script, Nightly Updater asks
where you would like to scan for apps. By default,
Nightly Updater recommends you only scan in the
System/App folder - which is where (shocker) system
apps are located. Remember, most junk apps are located
in System/App. However, Nightly Updater has also given
the option to scan Data/App. Some developers will put
apps in the Data/App folder, so it may be useful to
remove apps from there. But NORMALLY, these are only
the apps you chose to install. The final option is
to scan EVERYWHERE. Be very cautious with this command!
Remember that it is matching what you write in
junk.txt with the scan parameter. If you accidentally
wrote "system" as an app you wanted to remove instead
of SystemTuner.apk (with full scan on)... you would
erase your system folder... that's REALLY BAD!!!
Now, if you only check this option when you are using
full path and double check your junk.txt file so that
you did not make any mistakes... YOU ARE GOOD!!!
When in doubt, post your junk.txt here and I will
check it over for you
WHAT'S THE DEFAULT SCRIPT
If you download junk.txt from the OP at XDA, then
you have seen the Default Script. The Default
Script is meant to remove apps that MOST people
would consider expendable. If you are nervous to
tinker with your own Custom Script, try running
the Default Script first. If the script deleted
an app you need or did not delete at app you want
to destroy - hit me up and I will walk you
through the steps.

This is a great idea! I've been doing this with shell scripts for the last few months, something I run after installing a new ROM.
One question, does the app work with system apps? The example showed /data/app/*. Is it the scam that does /data/app/* and /system/app?
Also - a nice enhancement would be able to delete an app's data/cache (but not the app) after installing a ROM.
Here's a sample from my script:
Spoiler
#!/system/bin/sh
# Mount /system rw
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
# Variables to common directories
ei=/system/etc/init.d
tw=/sdcard/_Backup/Tweaks
sa=/system/app
# Copy bootanimation
cp $tw/../bootanimations/bootanimation-GooglePlay.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
chmod 755 /system/media/bootanimation.zip
# Setup init.d if needed
mkdir $ei
chmod 755 $ei
# Copy over useful scripts
cp $tw/02log $ei
chmod 755 $ei/02log
# Change build.prop to support TWC streaming app
sed -i 's/release-keys/Nexus 10/' /system/build.prop
sed -i 's/test-keys/Nexus 10/' /system/build.prop
# Remove data for problematic apps
rm -rf /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/*
rm -rf /data/data/com.android.providers.media/*
rm -rf /data/data/com.android.deskclock/*
rm -rf /data/data/com.tmobile.thememanager/*
# Remove unwanted apps
rm $sa/Accuweather*.apk
rm $sa/Apollo.apk
rm $sa/BlueBalls.apk
rm $sa/Books.apk

Most definitely works with system apps. Just add "Apollo" and scan system... /system/app/Apollo.apk is deleted! I really like your script too! Smart idea to back up init.d and boot animation!

Question for you… I want to delete all the folders under a certain folder, the OS command would be like this:
rm -rf /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/*
rm -rf /data/data/com.android.providers.media/*
Looking at the help in the junk.txt file, I'm not sure how to do this, seems I can do one file or one folder, not multiple folders?
# /path/to/file/file.txt > Deletes file.txt
# /path/to/folder/ > Deletes folder ... REMEMBER the trailing "/"

Should do the trick. Still the same scripting you used to use, just easier The script does rm -rf already.

Sorry, it only does rm -f currently. So for now add the "*" and it will delete everything in the folder for ya! If it doesn't break anything I will add the recursive command for folders.

BIG WARNING! DO NOT use the Data Wipe in version 1.5 and below. The script does not exclude the "media" folder... As some of you know... That's the SD CARD! I just did it and it SUCKED lol It will be fixed in the next version along with many new updates

Some apps can show me (0) when I open it, but when I go back to the upper folder I can't go forward again.

I have no problem with the external SD card.

When I open an app for example : Explorer, It shows me this:

as the user above stated it might be a permission problem but i dont believe that is the case because /emulated/0 is the internal storage...
can you please name one app so i can check it? i am running v20d and not rooted but i dont think one letter can make the difference lol and if you can not get access with root than i dont think that it matters.
eidt: just saw you new comment i am downloading es explorer to try and look at the problem

ok so i looked into it and it seems to be an android problem
it seems like some why the user t=does not have read permission
since i dont have root i can not fix it but you can (because you have root) i am guiding you blindly with out testing it...but i am sure it will not do any harm if you follow it.
first little guide so you have some kind of knowledge about what you are about to do if you dont already have.
ls - see the content of a folder
cd - enter in to a folder ( or out by ".." )
chmod - change permissions
su - use another user
for the steps:
1. download terminal emulator.
2. cd storage
3. cd emulated
4.(its a small L not a capital i) ls (just to make you sure you have the same error as me)
5. cd ..
6.(its a small L not a capital i) ls -la (just to make sure you see the permissions as me to the emulated folder(the letter on the side))
7. su root
8. chmod -R 775 emulated
and i believe your are done let me know if it worked

:-/ can you do ls -la after cd storage and upload the pic?
and you can try and do cd storage > su root > chmod 775 emulated > cd emulated > chmod 775 0 > chmod -R 775 0 > ls-la (the last is for checking) if it does not work
you can try one last thing reenter terminal than su root > cd mnt > cd user > chmod 775 0 > chmod -R 775 0 > cd 0 > ls-la and if this does not work i am out of ideas...i dont know maybe google did it in purpose somewhy.
in the end it is not such a big problem because you can still see the content of it you just cant just go back to it when browsing in any app which is not big deal because you can always reopen the app.
maybe some one else can help you
