Removing Verizon Facebook app

To be upfront and honest with you guys I don't know much about Linux code.

However by looking through various code snippets residing on the forum threads I have cooked up simple code that will allow you to remove the NEW Facebook app.

I don't use the Facebook app released through the Android market because the webapp has more functions than the Android app itself. Plus the Verizon Droid version (that came in update_navigation.zip) looks kinda butchered on my G1 for some reason.

Anyways, my post is for those forum users who cannot remove Facebook using ASTRO or ADB.

If you want a sure-fire way to get rid of the NEW Facebook (the app that came with this update) you have to follow the steps below.

And FYI, Your phone must have Terminal Emulator!

Terminal:

su

ash

mount -o remount,rw /system

cd /system/app

rm *Facebook*

rm *facebook*

cd /system/sd/app

rm *facebook*

rm *Facebook*

cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache

rm *facebook*

rm *Facebook*

reboot

ALL TRACES OF IT ARE GONE!

Reverted Rom to previous version after flashing???

I initially flashed this on cyanogen 4.2.4 and it worked fine. After flashing cyanogen 4.2.5 navigtion was gone. I reflashed the navigation update.zip and it works fine but now my phone thinks it is back on cyanogen 4.2.4??? I repeated the process twice with the same result. My phone is definitely running cyanogen 4.2.5 but still thinks it is on 4.2.4 Any ideas??
[G1 Android Development] bakshi:
UPDATE: THIS METHOD DOESN'T WORK!

Navigation has disappeared from my phone after an hour.

-------------------------------- [ Post from earlier ]

I had the exact same problem.

Do it this way

1. Backup on Nandroid

2. Wipe

3. Flash to 4.2.5

4. Install update_navigation.zip

5. Flash again to 4.2.5 (It won't break your Navigation installation)

5. Go to Market, uninstall Google Voice and reinstall it (if you had it installed)

6. You then should have 4.2.5 with Navigation.
[G1 Android Development] PorchSong:
Your phone is 4.2.5. When you ran the update_navigation.zip after updating to 4.2.5, the build.prop with the update_navigation.zip file has the signature of 4.2.4. It simply changed the name. But, the guts and build o fyour cyanogen is 4.2.5. If you try to change the build.prop in the update_navigation.zip before you put on sd card and install via recovery, it fails. So, you have to leave things as is. It is only a name change.
[G1 Android Development] bakshi:
Yeah, I guess I'll have to deal with it until an update is released.
[G1 Android Development] spazoid:
I tried flashing this and there is no navagation anywhere....

Reinstalled google voice.

Cleared data..

Nothing..

Now what?
[G1 Android Development] Facegarden:
Make sure GPS is enabled. I missed that one at first. I'm hoping that gets added to the tutorial.

You can enable it under Settings>Security & Location>Enable GPS Satellites

[G1 Android Development] lostinpaint:

Sorry!!

Hey all,

Sorry for the lack of the fixes/updates.

I have been diagnosed with the swine flu, and if any of you know it leads to crazy sleep patterns...

I have slept all day, for the last 2 days...

Tomorrow I promise I will put out an update for the newest cyanogen...

Sorry again guys/gals!

Title Bar

Can we remove the top title bar? Takes up wasted space and is not visually appealing. (I am referring to the top space that is 1/3 blue and 2/3 white).

Was this just a result of the port from the droid?

I an new, and just got ADB working, this has me tinkering, but I have no idea how to actually remove this title bar.....yet.

Thanks,

Adam

[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I was just about to ask you about if I should reflash the update navigation zip again, since after upgrade to 4.2.5 of Cyan's ROM, I had navigation, but it seems to have now disappeared. But now reading this, I have 2 things to say. 1. As mentioned earlier, get better man. We'll be alright waiting for you to get better, so take care of your health first and foremost. 2. I guess I'll just wait for your updated zip then flash that. Again, much appreciations for doing this for the community.
[G1 Android Development] Neejay:

Hey OP, hope you feel better soon, thanks for the upload.

[G1 Android Development] camit34:

[G1 Android Development] chodemickey:
I'd like to thank Theo and all who helped contribute to this. You guys are making android and open source exactly what Google was hoping for when they started this. And as many others have said, leave all this stuff alone and just get better. We'll be here when you get back :D
[G1 Android Development] chickenslut:
Dude, just feel better, don't worry. XDA will still be here.

To everyone else: Cyanogen pushed out 4.2.5, anyone using this with it? I have it on 4.2.4 on MT3G and runs great, don't want to cause headaches if not necessary. Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] Babaki:
this worked for me too.

make sure the maps process is force ended. set time to 11:59pm. what a few minutes. then nav worked again. changed time back and its working.

also, for those people are complaining that it shows cyan 4.2.4, just open the build.prop in notepad, change the ID to 4.2.5 and reapply.

So far the easiest way to get Navi to work!

But the only "issue" I have is my Gmail doesn't open:

process com.google.android.gm keeps popping up

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[G1 Android Development] sjbayer3:
I installed 4.2.5 and noticed that navigation stopped working, so I reinstalled this recovery, and when my phone turned on it alerted me to a new version of Cyanogen.

I guess this recovery overwrites the OS version to 4.2.4, so even with 4.2.5 (and all the updates it has) running, your os shows as 4.2.4
[G1 Android Development] Odinist:
Known issue, check the last page or two of this thread. =)
[G1 Android Development] CasseTrop:
I don't understand why but navigation doesn't work for me.

Everything is working fine. all the apps, no problem. Even the new facebook. But no navigation.

I tried clear data, installing/uninstalling/reinstalling google voice. Clear data, reboot, retry. Disable/Enable GPS. The option never appears.

Anyone has an idea what to do ?

[G1 Android Development] kizer:
Get better man. Its just a phone. ;)

What I really like is having Nav one day and then the next its gone. God I love tinkering with these things. :p
[G1 Android Development] RAQemUP:
It only appears when you use the directions feature and click go. It should appear just underneath the Show Map option.
[G1 Android Development] custom374:
Just wanted to say I'm on 4.2.5 and it works GREAT for me.
[G1 Android Development] CasseTrop:
Well unless I need to be outside, this doesn't work for me. The GPS does see me on the map but maybe it's like copilot, needs more GPS which you don't seem to get inside a house/building.
[G1 Android Development] Babaki:
no, as long as your GPS is turned on it will work. first things first. Are you in the USA? If not, it's not going to work. at all. period. for now.

second. have you tried applying the update.zip and then changing the time on the phone 11:59pm, let tick a few minutes past midnight and then check it again.

if these dont work, you are doing something wonky. start over fresh. wipe, apply new rom, apply navupdate.
[G1 Android Development] CasseTrop:
yeah I'm stupid I realised that it doesn't work in Canada yet.

me = FAIL.

It "works" when I do Boston -> NYC. hehe.
[G1 Android Development] jman2383:
Nav

So I just fiddled with navigation since it is working sweet right now. I wanted to see If I changed the time again to 1159pm and wait till 1201 am if Nav would still work And It did. So the only way you can lose your nav after this update is clearing the data in settings option!
[G1 Android Development] hybridb:
Running CM 4.2.5 + Android 2.0 "light" theme http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=577651

flashed the file, checked for Navigation and didn't find it

cleared map data from application management and tried again..still no navigation.

uninstalled and reinstalled Google Voice (already had it installed before all of this) and BAM! got Navigation working.

On a side note, i tried doing "navigate to name of destination" from the google toolbar but it only did a web search for the entire phrase. Any chance someone may get that to launch google navigation (like in one of the Droid ads) or do we have to wait til we get 2.0 on the G1 for that to happen?

edit: by "doing" I mean I did a 'voice command'

Can't reinstall Google Voice

I've had Google Nav running before with no problems following the directions listed here. I've now changed themes and it broke google nav. Reinstalled the nav update per the directions, uninstalled Google Voice and now I can't reinstall it! It's listed in the Marketplace as "installed" and when I click on it both open and uninstall are grayed out. Any suggestions?

I've cleared the Marketplace cache to no avail.
[G1 Android Development] chodemickey:
Probably a stupid question, but do you have to resign the .zip after that? And can I use the autosign.bat if it does need resigned?

Sorry I'm a newb.

[G1 Android Development] JoshuaPIII:
Thanks for the help!
[G1 Android Development] Babaki:
i dont think the navigation update is signed. it doesnt mention that it is.
[G1 Android Development] Difinitus:
It doesn't work for Amon's Clean Donut ROM. Everyone seems to be using Cynogen's ROM and it works just fine, perhaps because it was created based upon it?

I try to update.zip but afterwards the Maps icon just looks like a Market Box and says it isn't installed. It also doesn't allow access to my network so I can't use the Market to download Maps and Google Voice.

[G1 Android Development] cityeyes:
Just wanted to say thank you for this and it worked flawlessly. I've been waiting for the "new version" to drop since I'm a lazy idiot and also unfortunately a little OCD when it comes to my hardware (I kept on seeing the wrong version in Cyanogen and it was making me crazy).

Glad to hear you've recovered from the Swine Flu. Hope you're feeling much better.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
So this newest zip reports your Cyan version as 4.2.5 right? If so, I'm flashing as soon as I receive confirmation.
[G1 Android Development] bluecluenj:
Glad you recovered!

I have the previous version which for me works perfectly, including Facebook :D

Is there a changelog or something to help me decide if I should bother with this latest update? I have no issues with the previous one so I'm leaning toward leaving it alone. I did have the Cyanogen version issue but I just flashed the Cyan update again over everything which corrected the version display.
[G1 Android Development] sjayp:
Works great on rooted G1 w Cyanogen Mod 4.2.5

Thank you for your work!
[G1 Android Development] chodemickey:
I knew it had to be signed already, but I thought that if I went into the build.prop to change the 4.2.4 to 4.2.5, it would require resigning. I'm really quite new to this stuff. :)

Thanks again.

EDIT: Oh, and it appears you must be feeling a little better (since you're back posting) so that's good to see.
[G1 Android Development] wtang:
Quick question. If you removed the build.prop from this latest update, does that mean whatever build.prop already on my phone will remain? Because I flashed your original update and it changed my CM version from 4.2.5 to 4.2.4. Sounds like if I flash your newest update over it, I will still have my current build.prop file. So my CM version will still say 4.2.4 instead of 4.2.5. Is that correct, or am I totally off. I'm hoping somehow your newest update will fix my CM version, but I'm thinking it won't.
[G1 Android Development] theomajigga:
yup! 10char..
[G1 Android Development] theomajigga:
OOOO ok....

yea, i think (didn't really look at the instructions) you actually pulled it from the root of the phone, and just made the changes pushed back...

and you are correct, if the zip was changed, you would have to resign it.
[G1 Android Development] chodemickey:
Thanks, I modified the build.prop, resigned and it's working great. It actually worked without uninstalling and reinstalling Google Voice, but I got nervous and decided to uninstall/reinstall it anyway :)

P.S. By the way, I've never had any problems with this install when following your original instructions. No google apps problems or anything. I've run 3 different themes with it and never had so much as a hiccup. I tend to flash my phone like it's popping candy, and never even do a wipe (stupid I know, but as long as it works ;) ). I wonder if when people are reporting issues if it may be problem they already had that didn't show it's head till they tried installing this?
[G1 Android Development] theomajigga:
Your thoughts are 100% correct.

I removed the build.prop thus not changing any of the "information" of the phone. so since it has been removed, you will not see anything change back.

it will remain at what is on there right now.
[G1 Android Development] theomajigga:
:D glad to hear it!
[G1 Android Development] dflipb:
Did this update last night and worked perfectly. I am using Dream G1 and Cyanogen 2.4.5. I had to go through the steps to the end (uninstalling and reinstalling google voice) but then I was so happy to have Nav working.

I tried using it this afternoon and it is FANTASTIC! Thanks for making an UBER easy Update.zip!

You Rock!

Maps + Navigation + Facebook + Market...

Did this for Cyanogen Rom (my instructions are to use ADB because it's so much easier)

If you want everything working good do this... Get the new facebook and Google maps APKs (You can get them here: http://www.myhangoutonline.com/downloads/?category=12 )

HAVE YOUR PHONE PLUGGED TO USB ON COMPUTER

Install Voice Data.

1. Go to your settings

2. Go to Speech synthesis

3. Install Voice Data

Install the new Facebook

1. download the new facebook and place it in your C:\ drive (easier for instructions)

2. open a terminal window

3. type: adb remount

4. type: cd C:\

5. type: adb push Facebook.apk /system/app

6. Open up the facebook app on your phone and log in... Make sure it's working (should be working fine). *** YOU MUST LOGIN BEFORE YOU CHANGE THE BUILD.TROUT.PROP OR IT'LL GIVE YOU Force Closes ***

Then, uninstall Google Maps from your Phone.

1. open a terminal window on your computer

2. type: adb remount

3. type: adb shell

3. type: rm /system/app/Maps.apk

4. type: exit

Lets now change your build.trout.prop.

I already have an updated one in this post... download it here: View attachment build.trout.zip *** THIS IS FOR CYANOGENMOD 4.2.5 ***

1. Extract the build.trout.prop from the zip file and place it in your C:\ drive (easier for instructions)

2. open a terminal window

3. type: adb remount

4. type: adb push C:\build.trout.prop /system

5. type: adb shell

6. type: reboot

Once the phone reboots, lets install the new Maps.apk

1. Open a terminal window

2. type: adb remount

3. type: cd C:\

4. type: adb push Maps.apk /system/app

You're done... Now you have a working Market, Facebook App and Google Maps with navigation.

Just wanted to provide this... step by step if you want maps w/navigation AND facebook app.... Enjoy!
