Hi, i have been trying to copy folders and a few files to the root of my Samsung galaxy nexus. or * / * or where the folders such as system, sbin, sdcard are. when ever i try to do so it copy's, stays there, but when i restart my phone seems to delete its self or disappear?! please does anyone know how to fix this? thanks
First of all, what are you trying to do?
Secondly, on android, / is actually the ramdisk (nothing copied there is persistent).

well i have a script im trying to run, which involves me going into my terminal and firstly doing
Su
... then
sh test.sh (my test script)
and the only way i can get the terminal to find the directory so it runs is if i have it in the "ramdisk" which of course deletes after a reboot :/ so is their anywhere more permanent i could put it. if you get what im saying. thanks very much
What are you really trying to do though? You say you're trying to run a script, but I have no idea why or what your end need is.
So what is it you are trying to do?

Have only read the part with the commands, not the whole project. I dislike adding files to the system folders.
A solution could be a cd to change directory to the sd card and run the script from a /sdcard folder.

How can I get that? I like the volume slider, since I have to switch to vibrate the other day (i know it goes to silent but I have an app to make it vibrate instead). If anybody has some tips or a way that'd be helpful.

Just delete htclockscreen.apk
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I'm on the Skyraider rom, don't know if that makes a difference but I'm deleting it with root explorer then the phone shuts off powers up and the file is right back there again.
Careful if you're on the stock rom and delete the default lockscreen apk, I've heard it makes the lookscreen look really bad. But it works on other roms.

Delete it via adb on your computer. I believe it is rm /system/app/htclockscreen.apk

i would just use astro file mgr on the phone, remove the files from the rom, and flash it again with all changes applied

The only way you can delete a file in system, is if you've used unrevoked forever to unlock nand. Then in root explorer, change system to rw (read/write), then I'd rename the app instead of deleting just in case you need to put it back.

i meant just to edit the rom.zip on the sd card and then just reflash the rom

Why not
Boot in to recover
Mount System
From you computer (if you on Linux or MAC open a terminal window from Windows open a CMD window) at the prompt type:
ADB Shell
cd /system
mkdir app.backup
mv /system/app/htclockscreen.apk /system/app.backup
You never know when you may need one of files you "RM" into oblivion...

Yes I aplogize for the poor suggestion, moving the file to an alternate folder is a much better solution.

If you're in recovery, you have to mount system under the partions menu first.
Edit: or might be sd card & storage menu depending on version of clockworkmod you're running.

I've used better terminal emulator to remove the lock screen.
Use this line:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
To mount system.
Then:
cd system/app
rm HtcLockScreen.*
(Case sensitive)
Worked great, had to reboot though and it stuck. Until then the old one stayed.
Thanks to adrynalyne for the mount line.

Ok did exactly what you said, then like said it would it rebooted. Comes back up as the HTC one. Am I the only it's done this for? Why won't it just erase?
I just removed mine with adb and it worked without a hitch. Word of caution though if you use your alarm, you need install another clock app otherwise you won't be able to turn the alarm off without pulling the battery. I just installed the stock android desk clock and all is well again.

Hello devs.. i am trying to use adb while im in the clockwork recovery screen to remove some apps and some unwanted audio files. Everything is ok as far as being rooted and getting a number sign and the adb commands. The issue im having is that i cannot cd to the app folder. I can cd to the system folder and sdcard folders with no problem. But when i cd into the system, and then i use the list command "ls" to show me what im working wit it says app. But when i try " cd /system/app or cd /app " it says directory doesnot exist. Is there something im doing wrong here? I have installed, removed, pushed and pulled many apps using abd perfectly and i am not a noob.. but it seems like its a whole new ball game when it comes to the slide.. the super user tasks managers no longer work, a dev named roman told me they no longer work and i would have to use adb in clockwork recovery mode to execute any changes to the phones files. But im stuck at this point. Any suggestions? Also i have tried to remove the files directly with a command like " adb rm /system/app/Gallery3D.apk or rm /system/app/Gallery3D.apk" with no results. Is there a way using adb to delete the contents of an entire directory without deleting the directory itself? Thanks in advance devs

Better way of doing it is using 7zip and removing/addin files that way,than flashin that rom,its cleaner and faster.

This is kind of a cross post from the Apps forum, but I am getting no response there. CM6 uses a different music app than the stock HTC player, and the stock player works with the included headphones that have the control buttons. Which ROM can I steal the HTC player from and push back to my phone?

You could try to push the HTCMusic app from the OTA update. But I think it might be odexed so you might run into a problem. I haven't checked it out yet

Do you think it's best to do it from clockwork recovery? What I have been doing is just doing a delete from inside the rom with win rar before installing.
You can use Android Commander which also works for the slide. You just need to be in recovery with both your system and cache mounted so it will make changes otherwise it'll look like it did on the computer but actually when you restart the program you find it did nothing. lol Don't forget to open the program with Administrator Rights. I think the program makes things much easier.

Does kinda suck that you can't do that by default. If it's any consolation...why not do the memory swap from Crossix (if you haven't done so alreaedy)? I use a 32 gb with no issues at all on any rom...it takes all of two seconds...
The mod by Crossix would be great but I'm not rooted and don't really have the confidence to try.

I think the move to sdcard is a gingerbread thing. HC and ICS does not have this feature. You will have to root and use crossix mod for HC or the other ICS method derived from crossix mod.

Maybe this feature is disabled in tablet versions of ICS? My Nexus S phone is running ICS and I still can move apps to sdcard (usb storage) which is the internal sdcard like what this tablet has.

Maybe I will try it. I do read a lot, and it seems there are many different ways to root. But I also have spend time on the Droid Razr site so maybe I get confused between all the info between the two.

App to SD
I have been trying to use the mod by Crossix in order to move apps to my sd, but am so far unable to do so.
Using:
Acer Iconia A100
Android Version: 4.0.3
Kernel Version: 2.6.39.4-ICSOCTest+
Build Number: FLEX-100-REAPER-RF1-EXTREME-EDITION
I noticed that in the direction for installing the mod by Crossix, it shows the file as install_recovery.sh in the directions but is referenced as install-recovery.sh in a later/earlier post. The file I downloaded is the latter, install-recovery.sh
Someone please help?

It's install-recovery.sh and sits in /system/etc with permissions of
XXX

XXO
Works fine for me on any rom on the acer, and I've tried them all.
The concept is it tricks the Acer rom, by design it runs this script every boot to replace the stock recovery if a non stock or outdated recovery is detected, crossix just uses that design to run the mount swap instead, but can be used on any ROM, like CM9, with some slight changes.
After checking, that file is not in my tab anywhere... I have an init.goldfish.sh in my /etc folder, but no install-recovery.sh
my init.goldfish.sh file permissions are:
RWE

any suggestions? I'm down to 700mb of internal memory...

The file has to be added on modded roms like flex reaper, its removed so recovery isn't overwritten.

Ahh, OK. So, copy & paste to root of internal storage, copy to /etc & rename, adjust permissions then reboot and wait for results...? Is there anything else? I did try to adjust permissions on the external SD, but can't. Also, when rebooting, I'm shutting down and then powering back on, is that right?

Shouldn't need to rename it, and yes it goes into /system/etc. You can just reboot, you don't need to power down. Apps like quick boot will let you reboot without powering down, no clue why Acer left that option off.
So, copy install-recovery.sh to /system/etc. Check and set permissions like I said before, X checked O not checked, save permissions, reboot. Once you're back up wait about 30-45 seconds then check storage for internal to show your new storage.

It worked!!!
Thanks for the help! renaming it was obviously my misstep in the process.
Now to move everything from "external" to "internal" storage.
Thanks again for the Help!
I just did the Crossix mod and it worked fine for the most part. I lost all of my pics and videos. Also, when I try to change the Camera to the Storage Source of SD Card i get "insert SDcard before using the camera". Has anyone experienced this issue before and is there a fix?

As you probably now, gnex doesn't have a micro sd card slot. I just have "internal storage", i watched a tutorial and did exactly like that guy.

Adb works in recovery, if you used fastboot to unlock the bootloader of your device you should have adb:
Code:
adb push <rom_name.zip> /sdcard/

When you select install zip from sdcard, do you get a list of all your folders on your SD card? Do you know how to navigate to the location of your .zip? If it doesnt show up, then your either in the wrong location or its not a .zip file. Thats really the only two things it could be.
No
I don't have a list of all my folders. I'm pretty sure i'm not in the wrong location and yes,it is a zip file.
