Automating the deletion of a folder in SD Card - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

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

Good luck with that. I've tried for days to do that. Some you can just rename them in root explorer. Some won't work if you do. I've torn apart apks and can't find it any place.

Install root explorer or ES explorer. It will give you the option to open files with these programs. Once you have them you can also use root access to apps for adjustments to the files.

For ringtones, it's easier for file system to find it if you place is in system/media/ringtones
I've always just used Audiko for all my ringtones/notifications (even when I was on iPhone). There's an apk for it around, but I can't remember offhand if it's in the Play Store or not....

Their site (audiko.net) lets you upload songs into their vast database, clip them into ringtones, and send them to your phone formatted for whichever type of mobile you use (iPhone or Android). You can also access any ringtones you've added via your phone and download them to your pc, for whatever reason. It automatically creates a username (your gmail address) and emails a randomly-generated password to you so you can log in to the website if you want. If you were to 'sign up' via the website you could also link it with facebook or another email address instead of gmail, and on iPhone it would use your Apple ID.
It's not the greatest system, and it would be nice if it let you choose whether or not to create an account (since you can do everything their site does from your phone via other apps), but I've been using it for 4 years and can assure you it's nothing malicious. (even though the website does look rather sketchy lol).
I use it because I can pull up pretty much any song I can imagine and have it set as a ringtone in a matter of seconds, but if you know of or happen to come across anything comparable, please share!
Cheers!

Lost system sounds

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

try this

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

I do believe you do need at least a data connection, even if you're using the wireless to download.
It has something to do with carrier information, IMHO
