For some reason, whenever I try to copy something from Gmail on my AT&T S3, it crashes Gmail and forces me back to the home screen. I'm completely stock and not rooted. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Go into terminal do the next:
su
mv /data/clipboard /data/oldclipboard
mkdir /data/clipboard
chmod 775 /data/clipboard
chown system.system /data/clipboard
Reboot
Should sort it

My phone doesn't need to be rooted to do this?
When you say terminal, is it the app terminal?

Terminal emulator kinda the command prompt equivalent on our phones. And yes you can find it in the play store

Phone needs to be rooted, I'm unable to change the folder name.
I'm not too familiar with Linux commands but if you can use the terminal emulator to just clear out the folder (delete all) then it'll fix the issue.

When I try a rm (delete) on a file in the clipboard directory, I get permission denied. It looks like the phone needs to be rooted.
Also I am unable to execute the 'su' command.

Cheers thanks, I've seen that workaround but I'm not prepared to root my phone yet.
I just open a text message. Press and hold the blank text field. wait for the little popup saying clipboard. Tap that. then press and hold on each entry to delete them. Keep your clipboards clean folks!
Tapping on the clipboard icon doesn't do anything. The clipboard is corrupted, probably need to hard reset or root it to clear it out.

My copy and paste freezes the phone in whatever app I'm copying and crashes. Anyone experience this?

I am also having the issue of not being able to copy paste anything, and when I follow this advice I do not find testdata just testservice, which has no cache to clear. I am completely stock latest OTA as of 9.19 and not rooted. Any other suggestions to fix this?
Test service didn't work. You have to be rooted and delete the files within the clipboard folder and fix permissions. I've looked everywhere on the interwebz and this is apparently the only way.

How do you update the su?
Launch superuser, go to settings and scroll to the bottom.

I've found 3 su:
/system/bin/jk-su (original from the oneclick/permanent)

Superuser does not update /system/bin/jk-su so I decided to.
So far its working.

How did you update it yourself?
Here's what worked for me. Keep in mind I am rooted using oneclick 2.2.4 which comes with busybox and remount scripts.
1. Update the su binary using superuser.
2. Launch a terminal (I use better terminal emulator pro)
3. Run 'su' from the terminal
4. Mount system rw with 'remount rw'
5. Remove jk-su with 'rm /system/bin/jk-su'
6. Copy the su binary superuser installed with 'cp /sdx/su /system/bin/jk-su'
7. Reboot and it should survive.
Notes:
Do not include single quotes when running the commands.
I'm paranoid about permissions so as root in terminal I ran:
chown root.shell /system/bin/jk-su
chmod 755 /system/bin/jk-su
To match the permissions of the removed jk-su. I'm not sure if this was necessary.
I haven't tested using adb yet so I don't know the steps.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Code:
#cp /sdx/su /system/bin/jk-su

Replace 'cp' with 'busybox cp'.

I have this exact same problem on my Samsung Moment (have to update SU every reboot).
The directory structure seem a bit different. For example, there's no /system/bin/jk-su (in fact, if I find / -name 'jk-su' I get no results at all).
I am poking around the directory structure trying to figure out where to find the source and destination su files that I'm going to have to overwrite and I can't seem to figure which is which. Does anyone have any idea how to do the functional equivalent of dangdang's post on a Moment?
Thanks!

most likely SU is built into your kernel and short of rebuilding or repacking your kernel you cant update it..

Alright, when I turn my phone on LauncherPro keeps forceclosing on me, and I can't do ****. I just get 'the application LauncherPro doesn't answer', and an option to force close. When I push force close, the same message pops up again, so I can't access my phone. Is there any way I can fix this via adb or something? What I think caused the problem was that I downloaded and adb pushed a LauncherProPlus.apk (don't know the exact .apk name of it) to my phone (extremely stupid, I know).
Also, is there an adb command to view your phones files? Please help me out with this.
Have you tried wiping dalvik from recovery and then rebooting?
If that doesnt work, you could try pushing another launchers apk to /system/app or /data/app.
Or do you have a backup that you can restore?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Just remove the launcherpro apk again with adb. It's either a normal adb command or you have to use a shell. Make sure you have a other launcher on the phone when doing this.
If this sounds to complicated and you pushed the apk to /system you can reflash your rom without wiping data.

Do you have an adw.apk or something? I'd like to try this first, as I have no recent backup. What do you mean wiping dalvik?
nvm guys, I managed to uninstall LauncherPro by adding a shortcut to installed programs on widgetlocker. I didn't manage to remove it with adb for some reason. Thanks anyways! Appreciate it.
Try wiping dalvik cache through recovery first.
Boot phone with vol down and power. Then choose recovery.
In the advanced menu, there should be the option to wipe dalvik cache.
Reboot.

Actually, I have one more question. I downloaded this file: http://www.4shared.com/file/EMhprjdn/LauncherPro_Plus_v083.htm and pushed it to my /system/app using ''adb push file name and location /system/app''. Now I can't find any way to delete it, doesn't work with any file manager, neither do I have any adb command. This is a problem because as long as I have this file in my /system/app, I obviously can't use LauncherPro downloaded from the market. Anyone know how?
You need to do...
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm launcherproplus.apk
This is going from what I remember. Check the apk name also.
You can do
ls -al before the rm command to list the files in the directory.

Thanks a bunch, but when I do ls -al, it says the launcherpro.apk name is ''LauncherPro Plus v0.8.3.apk''. An .apk isn't supposed to have spaces I guess? Anyway, when I type in rm LauncherPro Plus v0.8.3.apk I get:
# rm LauncherPro Plus v0.8.3.apk
rm: can't remove 'LauncherPro': No such file or directory
rm: can't remove 'Plus': No such file or directory
rm: can't remove 'v0.8.3.apk': No such file or directory
Can you try putting the apk name in quotes?
rm "xxxx.apk"
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
No, that didn't work either... damn
Tried single quotes? rm 'Xxx xx.apk'
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
When I tried that I got:
# rm 'LauncherPro Plus v0.8.3.apk'
rm: can't remove 'LauncherPro Plus v0.8.3.apk': Directory not empty
At least seems like a step forward
And you're booted into recovery?
Also, try putting
su
Before issuing the command.

Guess like this; su rm 'LauncherPro Plus v0.8.3.apk'
but that gave me permission denied.
I tried booting into recovery earlier, but when I did that ''adb remount'' didn't work.
btw, i really appreciate all your help. thanks a lot mate
Ok, you need to be in recovery.
There's an option in one of the menus to 'mount system' - choose that.
Then try
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm 'xxxxxx.apk'
You wont have access to delete from /system while your phone is booted as I don't think you're S-OFF.

use root explorer....go into system/apps .....copy the joyphone.apk there......set permission to r-r-r
reboot the phone.....go to dilar it will ask ...to use joy or stock...choose joy...and save it ..
your done...you may delete the old phone.apk...if you plan not to use it
It means to use ADB to push the .apk file to the /system/app directory.
The commands to do that are:
adb remount (read/write access)
adb push [apk_name_here].apk /system/app

There is no joyphone.apk..!!
What should I push exactly..??
Either with adb the command is "adb push joyphone.apk /system/app/joyphone.apk"
Or easier way if you don't know adb is to use a file manager to copy n paste it into system/app, set permissions to rwrr if your file manager doesn't automagically set them for you and it should work, I presume from reading kools post that you need to delete the other phone.apk.

You don't need the joyphone.apk at the end. Just thought I'd point that out.
Sent from my XT615 using xda premium
Indeed.
Having the .apk at the end of the path is only useful if the original one has a different name or extension.
Example.
adb push randomname.apk /system/app/newname.apk
This will push randomname to /system/app and rename it to newname.apk
it's also useful for when your theme-ing stuff and have the .apk renamed to .zip
adb push framework-res.zip /system/framework/framework-res.apk
This will push the .zip file to /system/framework and change the extension to apk

Problem fixed! I needed to update my adb tools, was working with outdate ones because they did everything I needed until now.
I tried the commands, but the tar command doesn't seem to work. Do I have to install something to make tar work?
I used Root Explorer to extract the files, then moved them to /data/preload, then changed the permissions using adb. I think I got it correct. How can I tell if the stickers are installed correctly? What uses them? I saw a comment about the gallery but I can't see where that uses them?
Thanks!
