Removing Launcher.apk through Terminal

hey guys, im trying to remove the launcher.apk using the terminal code posted somewhere earlier in this thread, but i keep getting the message:

"rm failed for /system/sd/app_s/launcher.apk , no such file or directory"

any ideas? i also noticed that the superuse whitelist app wasnt there anymore...could that have something to do with it?
[G1 Android Development] osho741:
rename the radio file update.zip place on root of sd card, power off phone, power on phone holding on button and home button to go into recovery mode, push alt and s at the same time to apply the update, let it apply it, the phone will reboot on its own, when it reboots back into recovery mode, hit home and back buttom to boot phone up again.
[G1 Android Development] rsfaze:
thanks for quoting me, I edited it when I thought this very thing. I found 4 different terminal apps and tried to install them all but all unsucessfull. I fear its because the HERO rom doesn't have Superuser built into it and terminal need some sort of root access.

any other ideas? thanks

[G1 Android Development] lstrike:
THIS worked flawlessly! Super simple. I already had beta 4 installed so all I needed to do was partition and push the app_s to the ext 2 partition. Installed on 1st try.

To those getting nothing but the menu bar and black screen after flashing Hero reboot and skip all the way through without trying to set anything up or messing with the tutorials.

With every beta of Hero so far I got the force close then black screen. When I skip it all it works perfect then I just sign into my account later.

THANK YOU law-ren-ce!!!

[G1 Android Development] ministersin:
I guess I'm a bit confused with this entire thread...will this tut work on Haykuro's HERO?

Maybe this is installing Beta4 first and this "Official" is actually Haykuro's?

Or does it mean official as in HTC official?

And if it is H's, does this mean that the Squished version might work the same?
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
So I guess it doesn't matter what a2sd method you used previously. Just as long as you have an ext2 partition. Right? I shouldnt have a problem if I have unionfs method now?

could it be that the settings is .odex?
[G1 Android Development] bmic:
Mine does not rotate but everything works with hard keyboard.
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
i would guess this to be true since the rom it goes for isn't one with our nice qwerty keyboard.

I have the new radio,spl, and beta4 install I'm goig to dwld paragon partition to create the 2 partitions on my sd to see if that's what causing the problem. Hope it work for me as for others.
[G1 Android Development] dyussen:
I followed your steps, used paragon to delete my ext3 part and recreated it as an ext2, because I couldn't get this to work any other way. (Kept saying not enough space, when I'd try to unzip the app_s).

I followed the directions to the T and noticed that busybox unpacked the app_s files 2 layers deep, i.e.,

/system/sd/app_s/app_s/*files here*

I thought I read on another thread to unzip them into /system/sd/app_s/.

so I copied them there as well. Not sure which was correct but the ROM flash worked perfectly. Rosie forced close on me as well, as someone else had reported. But, it seems to be all good after that!

Error

I'm trying to follow this as closely as possible. I had a pre-partitioned card (did it before reading this but never used A2SD). I followed everything else to the tee except the partitioning part and when I go to flash the hero-signed/update.zip I get an error to the likes of:

E:Cant chown/mod /system/xbin

(no such file or directory)

E:Failure at line 12: bla bla bla

Is there something I am doing wrong? I'm going to try some stuff while I wait for a reply to this. Thanks in advance to anyone that helps and a second nod to the OP for creating this and helping so many people already.

[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
do any of you think maybe later the odex file app obtimizations will be added to the hero build
[G1 Android Development] SolemnWishing:
I completely agree with you, this is very annoying. Now looking for that extremely useful thread for apps to SD on the squished version is like looking for a needle in a haystack of 60 pages of posts. So completely unnecessary, no disrespect to the mods however, just sometimes, it really isn't worth it. Now we will only have more noobs asking for help as, who wants to dig through 60 pages of posts just to find one rather than just clicking on a single thread? I understand the mods are just trying to make things more organized... but really sometimes, it already is sufficiently organized. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
[G1 Android Development] Graph.Two:

There was a thread created with a link to the squished hero.. but then it got merged with this thread.. so my question is does any one know where that link is... :)

I'M IN NEED OF SOME URGENT HELP!! :confused:

I sent my apps and dalvik-cache to sd using this method:

cp -a /system/app system/sd/app

mv /system/sd/app /system/sd/appsys

<<<hero only>>> cp -a /system/app_s /system/sd

cp -a /data/app /system/sd

cp -a /data/app-private /system/sd

cp -a /data/dalvik-cache /system/sd

reboot in recovery

Alt-X

rm -rf /system/app

<<hero>> rm -rf /system/app_s

ln -s /system/sd/appsys /system/app

ln -s /system/sd/app_s /system/app_s

mount data

rm -rf /data/app

rm -rf /data/app-private

rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache

ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app

ln -s /system/sd/app-private /data/app-private

ln -s /system/sd/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

reboot

After doing all this, i got all my apps over to sd. BUT a problem has occured, my default browser does not work, it force close ever single time i try to open it.

Any ideas as to why? It worked fine before doing this.

Is there a better way to get apps and dalvik-cache over to sd?

[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
these steps seem to be a piece of cake even for a novice but what i would like to kno is once these measures are taken it would mean the squished rom is now like the original haykuro rom right ? meaning that the app_s is now on the sd. now meaning that once i put everything to sd funbacon's mods and etc can be ran like normal right ?
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
im gonna go out on a limb here and say no...otherwise it would have been ported to something like the ion rom a long time ago..not tryna be a smart arse but its not that simple really

Want apps2sd and rosie in internal? Unlink app private which is usually only 25% off apps move it there but for load speed also move widgets..
[G1 Android Development] pr0cl1v1ty:
when i go to type this

busybox cp -a /sdcard/app_s /system/sd

is that EXACTLY correct? or should it be

busybox cp -a*no space*/sdcard/app_s*no space*/system/sd

because

i type the first one

and i get

Steps to install Hero

Ok so for those who still couldnt get it due the lack of adb push pretty much or sd card partioning. YOU DONT HAVE TO HAVE APPS2SD JUST A PARTIONED SD CARD.

1)start with a fresh haykuro build of choice

STEP 2 - 3 IS IF YOU NEED TO PARTITION YOUR SD CARD

2)download paragon partioner 9 (must be 9 since it is the full verion) go to............... That the only way i know to get it dont ask how to use

3)after dont installing the PP9, hook your sd card up to your pc through a card reader, my laptop has one built in for use with the sd-microsd adapter slot. open up PP9 and choose create new partition,choose however much space you want(just do half) make sure its ext2(linux) format. follow the step it will want to reboot your pc to finish the setup to go ahead and do it. When your pc reboots you have a finished partitioned card.

4) unzip the app_s to ur sdcard, if u mounted your

ADB Time

5) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=502010

this is what i used to figure out how to do adb, its real simple. just hook your phone up to the pc DONT MOUNT IT.

6)type cmd in either the start menu search bar or the run command to open the dos prompt.

7)as stated in step 5 get to the directory in the dos propmt where the adb is then paste this adb push app_s /system/sd/app_s and press enter, it should start to copy all the apps from the sd card from the app_s and place them into the partition that we created earlier. when this is done exit the command

8)That pretty much it, now just put the hero rom on ur sd card and flash it, you know change to update.zip turn power off hold home and power alt w to wipe alt s to install update press home and back to reboot and voila HERO.

AFTER THAT LIL BASTARD ANDY THE ANDROID STARTS WAVING AT YOU IT SHOULD STAY ONE THE HTC SCREEN FOR A GOOD MINUTE OR TWO DONT WORRY. ONLY WORRY IF HE START WAVING MORE THAN ONCE HAHAHA.

If so, is it not working for you as well? Mine says it's restored it, but then when I go to the messages app, it immediately closes back out.

I'm thinking since this is probably using whole new apks for almost everything, it probably can't use the .db file Smsbackup creates. I wonder if we can somehow modify the .db file to be accepted by the new messaging app.
