Automating the deletion of a folder in SD Card

Friends,
Short story: Need to delete /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/testdata/*
Background: Every now and then the voice instructions from google maps / navigation get stuck in one address (example: turn left on Yousofat Ave.) and it will keep repeating this for days until I either uninstall the update of google maps or remove what ever data is inside /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/testdata/
I've been trying to delete this folder using tasker by ereasing the folder as root and recursively, I also tried running a shells script via tasker and secure setting with no luck executing:
Code:
rm -Rf /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/testdata/*
Is there any other way to automate this? maybe when the phone starts or something like that?

There's an app on the Play Store that handles cron jobs... I'm sure you could do it that way.

Here's a quick example of some cron jobs... Disable my WiFi at 3AM, and Enable at 8AM.

cron job will execute on the 4th hour but also on boot. this is not happening.
It is not being deleted by tasker or secure settings either.
I do how ever can go and delete it manually

I thought execute on boot meant the job would be active on each boot, correct me if I'm wrong, but it only performs the job at the time you specify.

It will work on stock (odexed), you have to delete the .odex file first tho. (/system/app/SecMms.odex) Then clear the Dalvik Cache so it can rebuild it at start up.
If you leave the .odex file there, then the new classes.dex that's now in his apk won't write to the dalvik cache. Then when you launch said app, it passes by the Dalvik and goes for the .odex that's not modded and crash.
I'll play with this later, but this is a much needed mod. Thanks OP

Lost system sounds

After root and root app installs I lost my system sounds.... any ideas?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Did you check settings.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Yes I did and everything was on. I have now lost it again, no boot sound, no tap sounds, no system sounds period. Every other sound, I.e. the type sounds while writing this, are working just fine. Please help. I am rooted with odin and twrp recovery. Thanks

Flash stock rom
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

try this
setting - App manager - All - Settings - clear data
same do with setting storage too
Reboot
still if you have same issue, just do what utkarsh said above

I did that and nothing helped, this happened once before and then it fixed itself for awhile. I need to fined out what is doing it!

Try clearing data of an app called MEDIA STORAGE. After you do it, reboot it right away. After rebooting, let it sit for about 10 to 30 minutes while it rescans all your media (I'm assuming you have lots of media on the phone-I known do lol. If you don't, 5 minutes should be enough). Then see if the sounds are back.
Cheers!

i figured it out, when using the app camera sound off for root, it does not only silence the camera sound but most system sounds. I got rid of it and now it works fine. thanks for the help though guys.

Good
You can off shutter sound without apk
Add this line
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Exact end of other features in
System/csc/others.xml
After that you will have menu in camera setting to on/off sound

If you press the menu button does it give you the option to turn Google Now on/off? If not, you probably need to update search from the Play Store.
Edit: should be under menu button/settings.

Didn't have Google search installed. Now I have now. Question is ,I thought it was for things like opening apps or giving flight times. All I get after asking a question is Google search page

For that functionality you can try an app called "iris." from the Play Store.

S voice and Google now

just a quick question is it possible to get s voice on the s2 now that we have jelly bean? And is it even useful now that we also have Google now?

In my opinion s voice is a whole lot better than Google now. And if you're running a stock JB rom, then just hold down the search button and walla there is s voice
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

It took me to voice command, that's not it right? I froze it to use Google now for my search button long press. Do I maybe need to reflash the jb update or do a factory reset?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Never mind, please mark this post for deletion. I figured out how to install it I had to first delete voice command, then it installed perfectly fine. And I can open Google now and s voice both with the search button. Long press is s voice, double tap is Google now.
Although I can't get s voice to activate from lock screen or when phone is locked.
