You can't remove apps with BTE. You have to do it through recovery. See the other thread on this board already about this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
a) completely wrong section

b) you can't. there is no way to read/write to /system with current root methods. you have to do it in adb. do some searching. there is a thread about how to remove apps in the development section. read it.

edit: thebiles beat me to it :)

This appears to be a problem with Helix Launcher (and Helix Launcher2?). I stopped running Helix that the errors went away.

I'm a new user so I can't post links, but if you google ""java.io.IOException: Is a directory" there are some ideas about why the error is occurring.

I dug a little deeper and it even appeared on Stock FroYo and didn't show up until I installed Launcher Pro.

You all have LauncherPro as well?

There doesn't appear to be a problem with the ADW launcher that comes with cyanogen 5.0.8, and I just found out ADW allows for up to six persistent buttons on bottom -- so I'm just going to ditch Helix!

[Touch HD General] elfboci:
helo, i've got a pretty annoying probem with my touch HD.

What it does is, constantly keeps giving me the poweroffwarning.exe even if i dont push the power button. Also if i try to put the phone into sleep mode by tapping the power button briefly, the screen goes black as usual, but after few secs it pops back and gives me the usual options for turning off sleep etc...

I have tried flashing another rom, tried to check the power button if its jammed or something but i dont really want to break it.

Oh and if i pop out the battery and back in, the phone starts automatically without pushing any button.

If you have any suggestion please...

k i read about an app called spare parts on here so i figured hey i'll try it out. i did saw what extra setting were there and decided i wasn't gonna use it didn't even change any settings.

after opening the app and then pressing home something wierd happened i saw a white screen with HTC in green in the center for about 3-5 seconds my backround with a loading pop-up and nothing else for about another 3-5 seconds. this is happening every time i press the home button or exit out of an app. it's getting infuriating, i'm also getting wicked bad lagg in sense and lot's of hang up's and force closes. also wicked bad battery life. i don't know what to do to fix it.

i have the OTA and rooted last night with unrevoked method, this morning is when i tried the app around 10 or 11 not sure last couple days is a blur.

can anyone help, how can i restore what i had previously, do i have to do a full wipe.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagnusRagnarok:
get used to it if you intend to use sense, the screen you speak of is sort of like the htc sense/rosie intro. If you dont like it you can go vanilla and use another launcher, like adw froyo,launcherpro, or even the extra launcher thats included....

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breakthecycle2:
Or just do a factory reset.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagnusRagnarok:
also, you are experiencing some isolated problems which leads me to beleive the issue is software related rather than hardware.I have experienced NOT ONE of the issues you speak of. Make sure you update prl. I can vouch for that one. My data was 90% broken till i did. Also try and wipe data, that would prolly fix everything as well.....FYI, i cannot gurantee the problem lies with your hardware OR software. Thats just my diagnosis. Good luck:D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecodemonk:
Heh...I did that once on my hero. I know the feeling. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
some versions of spare parts come with a launcher. the problem is that when you press the home button now, it's trying to goof with /system, which is forcing the reboot. even though you may be rooted, you don't have rw privileges in /system while messing with android.

you may be able to get away with accessing /system and erasing your goofy installed spare parts app. you'll have to do that through adb shell, and the custom recovery. do a search for 'remove apps', you should find it easily enough. i think the thread was moved from dev to general, or q and a.

anything that will call a write to /system (i.e. a rooted app that needs access to it to work right) has the potential to cause the phone to reboot. when i installed adfree, it had the same effect. trying to install hosts (which write to /system/etc) caused a reboot. i had to install hosts through recovery with a push after remount.

hope that helps

I was using a task killer but read up on stuff and turned it off just keeping it in case I need it for something that wont close and the phone is running great and battery life keeps getting better and better.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atx1980:
autokiller

People you need to be careful with autokillers!

Make sure that you are not closing down sense items.

Put anything that says htc or sense on ignore.

If not you are shutting down parts of sense. Then sense has to reboot. Witch is why you see the white screen with the htc logo in the middle.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyEye:
Hello, I got my G1 used and turns out there was soda damage but the phone never broke. It still booted etc.

I am running current radio, death SPL and AMON's recovery image

Here is my problem

Went to bed with the phone working perfectly running CSROM 2.1 and woke up to find that when I use my keyboard it has the same function as the power button and so does the Call and home. They turn off the screen or hang up the phone. The home button still doubles as home so I can access recovery but when I go to wipe it and I press home it aborts and the words flicker on and off and I have to keep pressing home until I could get it so the words show back up again (they flash). With the phone off if I press home the UI lights up (even keyboard)

I tried using DroidExplorer (Screencast) to send the home button signal but figures it doesn't send the command.

Here's what I've tried

Replacing the front UI (trackball home, etc) with a spare part I had but it still messes up.

I cleaned the motherboard with air duster then I used rubbing alcohol to finish getting the grime off it. (Thats how I discovered soda damage).

Once in a blue moon the home buttons and etc would return to their normal function. But only for a few seconds then return.

How can I wipe using Windows and possibly change the rom since CSRom bootloops. How could I possibly fix my mainboard so it stops messing up?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyEye:
GG on replies.

Fixed the problem.

Powered it up while holding menu call and home then wiped data that way.

Thanks for helping xda.

This zip folder contains all of the media Ive used in past themes for the G1 and the Nexus One. Just open the zip file and copy the media folder to the root of your SD card. So it looks like: sd card\media\audio\......

It may take a minutes for the media to show up to select, to be on the safe side you can always just reboot your phone. Either way enjoy!

Download Kspec Media for Evo 4G here

I made a new file for those of you that have root access. You can put this on your SD card and flash it from the recovery screen to add my Kspec audio to your ROM.

use root explorer and try it that way try renaming it if it wont let you delete it

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ohana:
C'mon man, using the root explorer is how I was able to find the file. I'm sure you read where I said "I can NOT nav to it when connected to the PC" this would have indicated I found the file with the root explorer.

root explorer will not allow rename, delete of any alteration.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] hacketbt:
dased14 was referring to the android app root explorer...search market. It has nothing to do with deleting something over USB. The app will let you move, rename, or delete files from system as long as you have root access and enable the r/w setting.

There are certainly many other file explorers that can do this if you prefer another. Many of them at least have an option to enable root access.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ohana:
Yes yes yes I am using got d s file explorer now that is how I found the file,

The point is, when connected via usb I cannot see the file.

I can we see the file when using the android file explorer.

However the file explorer does not allow renaming or any other alterations and I don't know why nor do I care, I only want to get rid of the bastard Goblin
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dgcruzing:
I think you have been given the instructions.. but not reading...

If you can't change the the r/o to r/w of the directory you are in.. using Root explorer.. on your phone.. to delete this file..

Here are a few things, that when I hear people say them or something like them, I immediately want to just punch them in the face.

1. "4G is here!"

Uhm, no. Next year, buddy, at the earliest. It's going to be in a few markets and a few markets for the next year or so, but not everywhere that you'd normally get 3G. And by the way, THIS.

2. "Verizon is the best (in the US)!"

Uhm, no. They may have the best coverage, but I'd prefer not to pay out of my a** to get it. I'd also like it if people weren't nickled and dimed for every little thing, like tiered data plans (F*CK bandwith capping) and tethering.

3. "My iPhone is the greatest!"

Uhm, no. Lay off the Kool-Aid.

4. "Why did you buy that BRICK of a phone? (about my Touch Pro 2)

Hey, di*kface, this phone has the best mobile keyboard on the planet. That's a lot of space right there. Not to mention all the hardware goodies that were nice when the phone first came out. I want my phone to be like a mini-computer, so I'm okay if it's as big and heavy as one.

Okay, just venting. Anyone else get frustrated at some of the things you constantly hear?????!!!!
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
I will bow down to you!! That exactly what everyone says!!! SPOT on!

This is what i get in school:

"Why have you got an old 80's phone?" "I havent, but i better my phone is better than yours at multitasking!"

"Look he carrys his computer around in his pocket" "at least ive got a computer!"

Or..

"Whys your phone so big?" "Because its about to burst with the amount of functions it has"

Some people ask how old my phone is. I say 7 years old. They say its getting on a bit. Why don't you buy a Samsung Tocco Lite? I say:

1. Tocco's screen is too small,

2. I can't play DOOM on a tocco,

3. Its too popular

4. Its not windows mobile,

5. Why would i spend about £60 on a phone i can lose easier because its small?

6. The build quality won't be as good.

So there!!!! Iam a bit tired now, might just chop my hands off.
[Off-topic] DaveShaw:
LOL :D

I always get "It's a bit Heavy" - to which they get "It has a fully functional QWERTY keyboard - it's an acceptable trade off".

I also like taking the proverbial "P" out of people who still own iPhone's and are getting bored with them. I keep telling them how many of Apple FanBoi's have now gotten the HTC Desire and love it now.

I have 2 Twitter accounts and I try to use them as often as possible, but I just can't figure out why people would choose this over Facebook. You get the status updates, you can post pictures and videos just the same, and you have more of a profile established with loads of stuff. I mean all of my status updates are the same for all of them (thanks to Digsby) and please don't be offended by this, but why do a majority of people prefer Twitter? I'd love to get into it, but I just don't see it.
[Off-topic] JAguirre1231:
I've found that Twitter is best to reach a larger audience in a shorter amount of time, which is why it is perfect for ROMs and such. John releases a rom, he has 20,000 followers. These followers tell their followers through a retweet and it quickly gets around. With Facebook it could take days before anyone notices something (or says anything).

I've always used Facebook for family conversations and Twitter for my android friends.

Ahhhh, that makes good sense. Actually, now that I think about it, it makes sense for why Twitter is so popular for celebrities and media outlets. Hmm, interesting. Thanks!

This tutorial will help you downgrade back to software version '1.22.605.0' this software version is based on the shipped ROM before the OTA.

1) download: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Inc...dio_1.00.03.04.06_release_161493_NoDriver.exe

2)Run the RUU.

A. after step number 2 you will see an image like this:

3) now go to your start menu and click on RUN in the textfield type %temp% and click ok. "you should see"

4) search threw all the folders that start off something like this {D3D2296B-5E22-46DB-BEF4-D7235D4BB485} inside this folder will be another folder with many stuff inside SCROLL DOWN till you see the ROM.zip

5) just drag and drop the ROM.zip onto your desktop like so:

6) renmae the rom.zip to PB31IMG.zip place it on the root of your SDCARD and boot into your hboot (power off the device then while holding the volume down + power will boot you into hboot)

7) the device will load the PB31IMG.zip and tell you if you want to update just volume up for yes, and when prompted to reboot just volume up for yes on your device and your DONE!!!

Hope this helps anyone...!!

you do not need htc sync to extract the rom.zip

So are devs working on rooting pre-OTA, OTA, or both (meaning whichever works best)?

EDIT: I'm just wondering if that's why we have this instruction set posted. I guess if pre-OTA is rooted everyone will want to downgrade.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] psmafia:
I don't understand the point of this, although it may be due to the fact I'm a android noob. I went into the recovery menu (I had already applied the OTA update) and selected "clear storage". That wiped my phone and sent me back to pre OTA state. I'm pretty sure of this because the next time I turned on my phone It started bugging me about an exchange update. What's the point of going through this complicated procedure?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] suzook:

I don't think clear storage takes you back to pre-OTA... you have to do that manually, im sure.

Definitely not. If you want to go to pre-OTA you need to follow this method.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cronus1995:
If clear storage got me to pre-OTA i wouldn't still be fighting with this.

no image!

Loading [pb31diag.nbl]

no image or wrong image!

Loading [pb31img.zip]

no image!

Ok so I backed up all my data and contacts and "clear storage"d again. Just like last time when I booted back up it started bugging me about an OTA update for exchange. I just did it and got that logo with the arrow. Again, just as I said in my previous post, clear storage reverted me to pre-OTA and I don't understand why you guys claim otherwise.

I don't understand. Maybe my my device has the OTA update but clear storage makes it think it doesn't and that's why it prompts me for an update. eh. w.e. makes it easier for me anyway.
