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.

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

Samsung text-to-speech engine has stopped?

I keep getting this error "Samsung text-to-speech engine has stopped" whenever I try to open the gallery or my music app, and sometimes when I use Google search
I remember integrating system apps updates into my stock rom (using TB) and then it started happening

Try using a root explorer and delete the TALKBACK.APK or something like that and re install it from the market and it should work and maybe try flashing samsung gapps to make sure some voice activated commands work...
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium

I was getting that error on other Samsung apps I was trying to open. It may sound weird but when I went into Settings>More>Date and time>Select date format and selected a date format (none were checked), the Samsung Apps started working. You might try that.

Im pretty sure that was a coincidence. I could be wrong, but it wouldnt make sense for a disability to affect tts unless you were messing with the settings and messed something up

Force UI mode

Hi I was wondering if there any setting or app that let me put notification at bottom. I Google and people say set DPI to 213 to force it bottom but its not working. I'm using carbon ROM and it doesn't have that tablet mode option. If any one knows please guide me thanks

I don't think this will help you, anyway. That build.prop tweak just gives you onscreen controls. I've never used Carbon so I'm not sure what the options are. PA includes a Tablet UI.

Rename to .so (from .txt) drop into /system/lib/ and edit permissions. I also have one in the same place with fixed permissions as a .txt cause I'm crazy lazy, didn't seem to hurt it. Lol.

To change permissions u have to be rooted I believe dont u?
