AAhhhhhh FFS

I just googled how to try to do this. And a wipe is what you had to do? Thats just f*cked. This has not been my week seriously! I had to Malware apps on my system (one attempting to send premium sms *hidden* but was showing up in logcat the f%#*ing c*%#t of a thing. I used ESET to get back on my feet, thats all fine and good. I got everything back to square one all working good. Did a backup and everything.....oohh yeah I totally did a backup of ESET installed DIDN'T I!!,

Thats all well and good I removed it......but totally forgot about it being inside my backup. I flashed my own theme that I have been toying with and naturally we all know that if you go forward an Android version you're SOL to try restore aka roll back your system when the system apks have updated the databases.....Thats ok I will just do a restore! I am a good boy and did both a Nandroid backup AND a titanium backup.

Well, Titanium fails because it cannot write data to a newer db either, you short of phyically using root explorer and plonking each of the olver 4.12 databases in each and every app then it ain't guna happen.

So restored from my perfectly good Nandroid backup in recovery and all was sweet as till I a noticed ESET in there. I am like, I will just uninstall it! NOPE!

Guess what. This stupid app has a bug in the reset password. I saved my encrypted password inside of password safe and it still rejects the original password. ADB ignores my commands even in recovery! Actually it is like it processes, but soon as I adb shell, SU, then chdir data/app and then ls I STILL F*%#ING SEE ESET!!!! I even use the exact name I see of com.eset.ems-1.apk

Is there no way to remove this ar$ehole of a thing? Seriously I am so close to loosing it at the moment. I am meant to be working.....and that means building apps! That is my job at the moment....to build apps. And to test them on proper phone before going to Telstra on Wednesday!

I am right royally screwed. The Nandroid that I have is pretty much the only one that I can use too. I cannot affort to do a wipe right now. I can't be fart ar$ing around re-setting up my device. I already wasted time last week doing that after 2 Malware apps got in my system.

Screw you ESET.

Does adb pull actually take the apk from the device or does it pull a copy to the PC? I was under the impressing that adb pull made a copy and adb push overwrites the app?

Heeeeeey!!!! I got it. I will make a dummy apk and push write over the top of this prick and see what happens? Man I am furious right now

HHHHOOOOOOORAAAAAAAYYY!!! GONE

ADB doesn't do ****. Simple fix was easy.

I just wrote a script that I flashed from recovery that deletes that sucker.

ui_print("Removing ESET");
show_progress(1, 15);
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
delete("/data/app/com.eset.ems-1.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.eset.ems.apk");
ui_print("Everything is finished thank f*ck!....Rebooting");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data");
reboot

Boy I was glad to see no stupid ESET screen when I unlocked my phone!:victory::victory:
