Definitely. You may want to edit your original post with all of the rm commands, or make some kind of note, just to make sure people don't accidentally screw up their phones. I'm a little leery about fully deleting HTC programs from the phone because it seems like some of them are somewhat closely integrated with Sense. It may seem like everything is fine after deleting them now, but who's to say we're not overlooking some random thing that may break down the line as a result of it. It's always good to have the option of restoring the apps back easily than having them deleted permanently and being stuck.

I'm actually really lucky I decided to rename the apps I was removing instead of deleting them. I got a little too adventurous getting rid of some and ended up messing up my phone horribly :p
[Droid Incredible General] kjbuente:
Can someone confirm that the "mv" command works in recovery? I have been doing "/system/bin/cat /system/app/NameOfApp.apk > /emmc/.app/backup/NameOfApp.apk" and "/system/bin/rm /system/app/NameOfApp.apk" Using the "mv" command would make things a lot easier.

I

THINK

I figured out why some are having Force Closes in Accounts & Sync when deleteing HtcFacebook and\or FriendStream. You have to delete your facebook account in Accounts & Sync BEFORE deleting HtcFacebook and\or FriendStream. Any one willing to confirm for me?
[Droid Incredible General] blw1230:
I've deleted FriendStream and haven't had any kind of FC or problems with Accounts & Sync. Just putting it out there.
[Droid Incredible General] akudaikon:
I can confirm that the mv command does work in recovery (/system/bin/mv). I used it to take care of my files.
[Droid Incredible General] paimon.soror:
So it looks like I am getting that stupid widget bug too with the "false" widgets. Is there a way I can backup everything on my phone before doing a factory reset? All i mainly care about is my sound profiles, i dont think i have anything else that has to be backed up, but if i can do a factory reset and restore everything as-is right now that would be even better.... titanium backup?
[Droid Incredible General] corywf:
Anyone know of a hack to allow the optical joystick to wake the phone? I tried modifying incrediblec-keypad.kl in /system/usr/keylayout to the following:

# key 61 CALL WAKE_DROPPED
key 232 DPAD_CENTER WAKE_DROPPED
# key 108 DPAD_DOWN WAKE_DROPPED

used cat /sdcard/incrediblec-keypad.kl > /system/usr/keylayout/incrediblec-keypad.kl and the changes stuck after rebooting but no wake via joystick. Is there another file that needs modified?
[Droid Incredible General] VCURamEngineer:
I had this same problem. I cleared the cache for some of the HTC applications (Settings->Applications->Manage Applications) and it fixed the problem. I'm pretty sure wiping the cache of the HTC Sense application did the trick. Beware though, you'll loose most of your Sense settings including saved layouts.
[Droid Incredible General] paimon.soror:
Thanks for the tip! I will try this right now

edit: Just gave it a shot, clicked "Clear data" on HTC Sense and it got rid of the "fake" widgets.... thanks! I lost my default scene but oh well :)
[Droid Incredible General] paimon.soror:
Here is another one for ya ... what about seeing apps that i have removed in the "Manage Applications" section? For example, I still see Footprints in there, even though i removed it ... the size is 0kb, and when i click on it, settings FC's ... do I have to clear the data on settings as well? If i do that, will it wipe all of my settings? (wireless profiles, ring tones, etc)
[Droid Incredible General] paimon.soror:
k well i tried clearing the data on the "Settings" object, no dice though. I realized that i never deleted the odex files associated with the apk's that i got rid of... maybe that is why i am seeing the entries in my "Applications" list
[Droid Incredible General] kjbuente:
I updated the orginal commands to move the files to /emmc/.backup/app. Though I just noticed that I did not check to see if /emmc is mounted in recover, and you might have to create the directory tree....

@sl0wd0wn: Thanks for finding out how to remove the empty icon widgets!
[Droid Incredible General] kjbuente:
Double Post...

Sorry, Not Sure how it happened
[Droid Incredible General] VCURamEngineer:
I think that's correct. I didn't delete the odex files and I'm seeing them there as well. You'll have to reboot into recovery to delete the odex files. Hasn't seemed worth the effort to me.
[Droid Incredible General] Bxsteez:
Excuse me if i'm asking a really simple question here. I just switched from winmo to android and i'm trying to remove certain apps by just moving the apk but i keep getting and error saying the file doesn't exist. Is it not possible to move these files while the device is powered up normally? I have USB debugging on and have the shell open and the su privledges but i still get the same error

# /system/bin/mv /system/app/FriendStream.* /emmc/.backup/app/
/system/bin/mv /system/app/FriendStream.* /emmc/.backup/app/
failed on '/system/app/FriendStream.apk' - No such file or directory
[Droid Incredible General] kjbuente:
@Bxsteez, Right now we have to be in recovery in order to move these files. The NAND is currently lock when we are booted normally
[Droid Incredible General] paimon.soror:
I blew away the odex files and it didn't make a difference. To be honest I just went to a factory reset just to get things back to kosher. Running smooth with no FC's so far *knock knock*. All root privs are still there and apps that i had removed are all gone as well as their entries in the apps table

I am sure that the apps table is linked to a sql db, probably need to just open up the db and remove the obsolete entries
[Droid Incredible General] Bxsteez:
I was starting to figure that... Damn. It took a while to get the root access and i had a feeling i should've moved a bit slower. Oh well... I'll probably just wait for an easier way to get to recovery mode with adb shell access.

Thanks for the assistance.
[Droid Incredible General] KB Smoka:
Forgive me as I am a little new to this but I got that Twitter widget, put it on my card, got into recovery. From there I did the following at the command prompt:

adb shell

su

/system/bin/cat /sdcard/TwitterWidget.apk /system/app/TwitterWidget.apk

When I hit enter the command prompt filled up with a bunch of random characters and other crap and my computer started beeping and I had to reboot the phone.....Did I do something wrong?
[Droid Incredible General] paimon.soror:
You forgot the ">" so its just throwing garbage to your console, that beeping wont stop until you disconnect your phone from adb, so if you can, just shut off your speakers, open another console, and go back to adb shell.

Remember it's

/system/bin/cat /sdcard/TwitterWidget.apk > /system/app/TwitterWidget.apk

not

/system/bin/cat /sdcard/TwitterWidget.apk /system/app/TwitterWidget.apk

Side Note:

Just want to make sure, your goal here is to put the TwitterWidget back on to the system right? Remember "Cat" params are

/system/bin/cat [Source] > [Destination]

Edit Again:

Why doesn't someone write a quick shell script to do a cat when runing cp?

just create a file called cp on your sdcard, and have the first line say "cat $1 > $2" without quotes

save the file, and copy it out to /system/bin/

Might make life easier when copying files.

I would write it but I am at work so I cant host it anywhere :(
[Droid Incredible General] CaptainTaco:
If you installed busybox when rooting, cp is included in busybox, no need for cat anymore. cat is a temporary cp until you have busybox installed.
[Droid Incredible General] paimon.soror:
ah, strange, i had busybox installed and cp still didn't work ... i will try again next time
[Droid Incredible General] KB Smoka:
Thanks! That command took but I don't see the widget....Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible General] paimon.soror:
Try clearing out the cache data for HTC Sense. Beware, you will lose your homescreen layout though so take a screen shot to remember what your home looks like if it's imporatnt to you.

Go to Settings -> Applications -> HTCSense and click "Clear Data"

It will reset the databases including the widget database. That should do the trick
[Droid Incredible General] KB Smoka:
Bingo! Thank you sir.
[Droid Incredible General] CaptainTaco:
Was probably never symlinked then (using ./busybox --install in the busybox directory).

If it wasn't any busybox command would require you to type "busybox" amd them the command

i.e. "busybox cp"

Might make some of the tinkering easier for you if you have the full command set at your hands.
[Droid Incredible General] dhardison:
Adfree for me :)
[Droid Incredible General] dhardison:
or maybe not :/

I get an error when I try to download and install the updates...
[Droid Incredible General] bkDJ:
I tried adfree, got an error (with a blank message) and then an unexpected reboot a few seconds later.

It seems to store an updated hosts file in /sdcard/. When I get home tonight I'll try getting adb shell in recovery again and overwrite "/etc/hosts" with "/sdcard/hosts". I'll report back if that works.
[Droid Incredible General] KB Smoka:
So I went back and ran the original ROM that came with the phone and now when I run these commands they don't seem to remove or move the apps. It looks like the commands go through but the last line says "can't find directory or file" Do I need to create a directory manually before I do this?

Thanks.

**** EDIT ****

Nevermind....I'm an idiot.
[Droid Incredible General] kjbuente:
Do you mind sharing what you found in case someone else runs into this?
[Droid Incredible General] bkDJ:
So, as root in recovery, I did "cat /sdcard/hosts > /etc/hosts" and then, back in the console, I did "adb pull /etc/hosts testhost.txt" to confirm that the file did indeed change. Satisfied, I booted normally. Still saw ads so I opened /etc/hosts using astro to check, and and the text editor showed it only contained the localhost redirect. What did I do wrong?
[Droid Incredible General] bigsushi:
I removed FriendStream and now the sync icon is stuck in the notifications bar and Accounts and Sync FCs on me. Is there a way to put FriendStream back onto my phone without reloading from the stock rom or doing a factory reset?
[Droid Incredible General] KB Smoka:
After running the original RUU I tried to do the root without looking at instructions and missed a couple steps.
[Droid Incredible General] WhammyDroid:
Could someone please help me out with this script? I cannot see the /emmc folder on my Incredible. The script defined as is will not work for me.

Re: So you&#146;re rooted, now what?

Has anyone tried to install Adobe flash on their rooted Incredible ? I have and it works great jus a little more support on 2.1 but I can deal wit it till Froyo
[Droid Incredible General] Cameron_S:
How did you manage to do that?
[Droid Incredible General] heavensblade23:
It doesn't work, it's just fooling websites into thinking you have flash 10.1 and then showing you the content in flash lite
[Droid Incredible General] Bxsteez:
I can tell you what i did. I never got those script lines to work so i basically pulled the entire apps folder to my desktop as a backup and also did a nandroid backup and then i just removed the applications instead of trying to move them. I think i should probably start a thread on what is safe to remove.
[Droid Incredible General] ecltech:
The "/emmc/.backup" directory probably does not exist. Run the following command before running the script:

"mkdir /emmc/.backup" and then try the commands in the script.
[Droid Incredible General] jp43:
Has anyone been able to find the location of the Droid startup sound file? I really find it annoying and would like to just remove it

Im having problems with my hd2 it is turning off everytime i turn it on and the homescreen wants to load and restarts agan. has anyone had this problem before and fixed it? i just tried resetting it,,and hard resetting it and now it will not charge or turn on..i hope im still under warranty and suggestions as to w**** its done this?

oh its working again now i took battery out...seems all smart phones want to scare the crap out of you when you reach 0% battery. still any ideas why it does this?

Have you recently updated the phone with the new vodafone rom?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingoid:
Apologies if this has already been asked/answered but is there a way of listing all the apps on the phone that will install to SD rather than having to go through them one by one?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
So, the only thing holding me back was voiding the warranty and the fact I have a rogers phone (build EPE54B).... so I think I have to flash the build to the one that matches the update?

Sooooo if anyone wants to point me in the safest, easiest direction... I would appreciate it... and dos and don't would be appreciated as well. I am new to the phone an android, so feel free to dumb it down.

Does the build actually mean anything? What happens once I change it... and official updates come out? I am going to cut the grass... and then root, so help me out (preferably someone that is on rogers and has done this)

thx in advance! Froyo or Brick, here I come!

had a long day with chores and family day.... but I am back at it, first tutorial down and it seems solid...

Let me know how it goes for you.

I am on Rogers and experienced EXTREME instability the moment I flashed the Froyo radio. My phone would crash randomly and frequently.

I suspect it was a problem with my hardware and have returned the phone and am waiting for a new one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
thx jack, I appreciate it.... sorry for the thread... but in my experience... it is easier having your hand held by someone experienced.... then assuming I am following the right one, lol.... so I follow that entire thread to go from rogers to whatever build I need? heh

I will try this in approx 2 hours.... when the yard work is done!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
early quick question, when I go to "CyanogenMod"

it takes me to a thread, but I do not see the download, what am I not seeing? heh
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
I am at this part

Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img

it says cannot load image recovery? thx

well everything was working great up until this point, tried it 100 times, heh... so now I sit and wait for guidance? thx
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohandhruva:
Mr.Kakarot, have you put the .img in the same folder as fastboot? Or, alternatively, if fastboot is in your PATH, you won't have this problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
i renamed the image to recovery.img and that seemed to work? I will continue after supper!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
followed that first thread to a T and it worked out... had 2 minor stalls but I got through it... I am doing this stuff off and on, thx for that thread... this is going to be a STUPID question I am sure... but following that first thread, what have I done? unlocked, rooted and installed google add ons? phone looks awesome, I will do the rest after supper!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
hmmm, got it, lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
done, running 2.2.... so tomorrow at work, i guess I will see if I have any issues....

now that this is done, can I re install that sense ui? What should I do or try now that I have done those 2 tutorials? thx
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TailsNeon556:
first off there are no 2.2 froyo/sense roms available as of yet.. so if you want to use a desire rom youre more than likely going to want to downgrade to the latest 2.1 radio that works well with your carrier/area, as froyo has its own radio and needs it to run properly.. once you downgrade.. nandroid>wipe>flash
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
yea, I did not know it would put me back to 2.1, lol.... went back and then back again to 2.2, lol... sense sure looked good!

Any ideas, suggestions, tips for 2.2? I installed flash! thx
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
How stable is your phone with the Froyo radio? Any unexplained reboots yet?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
well it was quite late by the time I did it, I was playing with it, went to a few flash websites.... and no reboots or shutdowns, I also just woke up.... so I will know today after a full day work/playing, thx

one of the bugs is my camera does not work for video... so I have to update the radio, any suggestions! thx
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2whisper:
Nope thats pretty much what you need to do is update the radio
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
thanks, but I am not gonna lie... still not sure which are radios, roms, senses, lol.... could you point me to the one I need.... or does it matter? thx, I just do not want to brick, obviously!

Also, I did not do this step.... is this what I need to do, or is it unrelated?

11) You should still have root, but if you want BusyBox (or lost root somehow), Cyanogen has done it again! Go back into Recovery and flash froyo-rooter-signed.zip. Then Titanium Backup will work once again.

does not sound like something I need or use, so I did not do it....

as far as stability... my 3g signal looked low all day... but I never had a dropped call, instability or any reboots/crashes.... all is well! thx

I was using this method and found that it also helps resolve ring lag. However it does have its bugs.

1. no*2 which is no big deal

2. when dialing a number that does not require an area code normally, now it does.

3. when using the sprint internet app it made me sign in as if I was not on the sprint network. Which was weird but also not a big deal.

I am not sure about the bill thing either. When #3 happened it got me a little worried so I switched back to the official PRL.
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
It varies from place to place. I am in a large Verizon area so this works for me. But my signal jumps up and down as well as it won't hold a steady data connection. It's great when it works, but it's not a usable option for me due to my location. And several people have reported sign in failures. I am one of those. It will randomly say "Sign In Failure" and it's quite annoying.
