[Q]Removing apps

Okay so I got my phone rooted and installed froyo with gapps.
Now I am trying to delete some apps with "Root Explorer" it works great untill i reboot the phone and all those deleted apps come back.
How to delete apps and save the image or something?

U will prolly have to remove via adb in recovery mode. Then they will stay gone.

I was trying to do that but my phone stays offline in recovery mode.
Maybe an advice please?

What is the command to remove the apps when in recovery?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

You have to mount /system then
adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then
cd /system/app
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then
ls
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then following to remove app
rm -r Appname.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But I still cant shell into device while its in recovery mode?
Anyone help?

Did you unplug the phone then plug it back in once you went into recovery (adb devices after that). Otherwise it will say offline. After that:
Cyanogenmod Barebones has the code to remove the apps (and which ones you can remove safely) from adb or terminal.

Okay, I do not know how, but I got into phone shell in recovery moed and successfully removed apps.
Thanks for help

Probably restarted adb?

sry i didn't understood what u meant
if u mean that i have to write the adb shell command so i did that and all errors above
and i tried to only flash without any command with adb shell but it's failed too

Hmm, the only problem I have is that WiFi gets stuck on obtaining an IP address.
Other than that, it's actually not too bad

What I mean is wipe of all(factory reset and dalvik cache), then the command don't care about the errors,then flash and reboot should work for all.

Well as I say, pure alpha but the direction is correct in all cases. the graphics are ok,so for those who have the strength, this is a good rom to build on.

thanks for the reply , i get an error saying mount is not recognized as an internal or external comand ??

This gingerbread actually works pretty well and smooth! I also get the "obtaining address", but it scans okay.
Btw, why ADW and not stock launcher?
Keep it up, Ele

Like i said gooood work :
for who want to know whats working and whats not.:
Working
1-calls
2-SMS
3-High Speed
4-Sounds (ringtons and media )
5-u can install any application on it
6-APP2SD Working Perfectly !!!
7-Gallery 3D
Not Working :
1-WIFI
2-USB doesn't detected
3- Something is worng with Battery use in option i thing the top toolbar have some errors or something in colors
4-Camera
5-No arabic the dev. deleted it and this the worst thing in this release (only for Arabian )
6- Sensor doesn't work at all (Rotation ... etc)
i will update the post if there is anything else....Enjoy and thanx for the dev (LOX & elelinux)

i just hope to see kernel .34 for our htc hero gingerbread soon this will fix alot and gave us alot of speed i think

is it necessary to update from your 2.2.1_update1? Thanks!

Do you have plan to fix flash?

what happened when you tried to get temproot with zergrush?
was the phone in charge only mode? It needs be to write a backup file to the sdcard.
the < waiting for device > error is because the fastboot driver is not installed or there is contention with some program.
i missed a step; updated code above:
prerequisite: adb and fastboot fully working.

Thanks ever so much for this write up, it is greatly appreciated, and a beer or two (donation) will be coming your way Friday.
I had to get a replacement for my rooted DINC2, and wouldn't you know it, they sent me out one with the 0.98 bootloader. I thought all hope was lost, well, at least until revolutionary found an exploit for the 0.98. This has helped tremendously.
Thanks again ever so much,

Help with removing max. frequence lock

Hello!
I flashed CM9 nightly on my GSM Galaxy Nexus a few days ago, and it has worked like a charm ever since. Until a few hours ago, that is...
I dug around in the CM-specific settings and (unfortunately!) ended up finding the Advanced settings, more specifically the CPU frequency setting. Just to see how it would handle things, I tried setting the max. frequency to 350 MHz (aka the default min. frequency). I was very surprised to see that the game Road Trip worked perfectly, and so I chose to keep it this way to save energy; I ticked "restore on boot". Later on, the phone rebooted during a phone call, but I thought, "oh, it's a nightly, this is to be expected."
What I noticed a few seconds thereafter (what is my real problem) is that the boot animation froze a few cycles in (after running at full fps for about one cycle), and the phone rebooted again, running into the same problem.
I still have this issue, even after factory resetting and reflashing the nightly (which I thought would remove the freq. "lock", but didn't).
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Is it as easy (or hard, because I can't access the actual system) as flashing some CPU-fixing ROM, or do I need to do something more, even send it to repair?
Thank you guys!

Where in the system structure is init.d?

'adb shell'
'su'
'rm -rf /system/etc/init.d/' - folder/file names in android (as in Linux) are case-sensitive.
if it still gives you "file or folder not found"
'ls /system/etc/i*'
do you see /system/etc/init.d/ or not? if not, either your current rom hasn't created that folder yet (case of AOPK comes to mind, user had to create dir manually), or it doesn't support init.d scripts at all.

Should be, give it a try.

if 'su' errors, then you don't have su binary installed. you wouldn't be able to delete /system/etc/init.d even if it was there. you should see a lot more stuff inside /system/ though.

before you go restoring to stock, go in bootloader and try:
'./fastboot erase cache'
'./fastboot erase userdata'
see if it boots.
'adb logcat >> logcat.txt' would help debugging as to why the device is bootlooping as well.

Or is it easier to use this, and not have to worry about what version it is/was?

that's your choice. if you do use that toolkit (or any toolkit, for that matter), read instructions well.

I was redirected to this guide to get the fastboot drivers (and fastboot): http://android.modaco.com/topic/348161-01-feb-r4-superboot-rooting-the-gsm-lte-galaxy-nexus/
When I open "install-superboot-windows.bat", though, it says "waiting for device", and stops there.
Should I just have downloaded it and continued with the first guide (linked a few posts above), or should I have clicked "install-superboot-windows.bat"?
Edit: Now when I tried "install-superboot-windows" a second time, it rebooted the phone, but into Android (resulting in the usual freeze-reboot). I'm stuck, please help me!

Now I tried flashing MCR Ir9, which I had laying around on the internal memory, but it screwed up even worse: Now I don't even get past the first "Google" + unlocked boot loader icon screen.
Should I maybe just send it to Samsung, and foot the bill, before I brick it forever (if I haven't already, that is), or do you guys know what to do?

did you reset permissions on build.prop to 644 ?
if not boot to recovery, connect to pc

notepad++ is good,
unless you set something wrong inside build.prop then it is the wrong permissions on the file
download aromafm http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2231581&stc=1&d=1378202418
install just like any zip in recovery just make sure you mount system from recovery. navigate to /system long press on
build.prop and select change permissions. and you should be good unless like i said you got something wrong in
build.prop itself.

before your run aromafm, select mounts option in recovery and mount /system , then run aromafm.
there is an option in aromafm to automount all partitions, very helpful.
it takes a little till you get the hang of using it. very good tool.
