I'm running void, and I need to make some space in /system.

In particular I'm interested in those apps which get updated in the market, but are installed using the "gapps" module:

- gmail (com.google.android.gm-1.apk)

- youtube (com.google.android.youtube-1.apk)

- google search (com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk)

- maps (com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk)

- market (Vending.apk)

Can I remove them on /system/app? They are already in /data/apps it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
This has been asked a lot of times before, but anyway:

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm *appname*.apk
[Optimus One, P500, V General] yelo3:
The real answer of my question is: yes you can safely remove from /system/app all applications that you will find on market.

I tested it yesterday with success
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
Yeah, but my reply was a verbose version of "yes" :P Sorry, didn't get it right.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jaylapeno:
Titanum backup can remove all of those, and its included in one of the void packages... or maybe its already in the void rom. I cant remember which one at the top of my head. But even if you download the free one from market place with ads, it'll still do the job
[Optimus One, P500, V General] xciton:
You really should leave the filesystem they way you found it (read only). I would recommend that you append the above steps with:

mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

It more than likely will be fine without it and on the next reboot it will mount as read only, but proper procedure is to put it back as read only when you're finished with it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] LouisTran:
U can use Titaniumbackup to remove them or Root explorer(seach in market).
[HD Mini General] sunbeam:
hi there. i was wondering if someone had any experience, connecting his Win Mo 6.5 on a Windows 2008 Server PC/Laptop and had a successful sync.

I recently changed on my laptop from windows 7 64-bit to windows server 2008 R2 64-bit (the reasons actually simple, server OS runs way smoother that Windows 7, and manages RAM much better on a laptop), but im no more able to sync all my stuff i used to sync with WMDC.

downloaded from MS site the Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver (vista, 64-bit), installed fine, but when i did connect my HTC HD Mini, it couldnt find any drivers.

It starts to try to locate the drives, but then, error finding'em.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance
[HD Mini General] schlund:
win 7 and server 2008 r2 have same core.. there is no different memory management, it comes with less hardware-consuming userstuff like aero-desktop, thats the reason why it feels "smoother". using server without intention to use all that serverspecific stuff is stupid, because it has less compatibility to lots of programms and tools, you will also need special server editions of software that will cost a lot more money. and dont let us talk about the different prices of win7 and server 2008..

you can slim down win7 to a naked win server 2008 (there should be many articles in the web)

but if you have problems on windows server, take use of microsoft support service..
[HD Mini General] sunbeam:
dude, without been TOO rude, i didn't ask about anyones opinion what OS is better or runs faster/smoother. There is a good reason i switched over to Windows 2008 R2 and honestly i don't have to explain why, especially to ppl who didn't get the question.

so, unless, u had any experience with that kind of stuff, please spare me.

@other: sorry for my language.

P.S. @schlund: mein lieber freund, wenn Du nicht die frage kapierst, bitte nicht mit nutzlosen zeug und Kommentaren spammen. Danke

------

and just for your information, because im sure u r talking bull...

let me inform you, that indeed Windows 2008 R2 Server runs SMOOTHER even with Aero stuff enabled (its called Desktop Experience and Windows Theme service enabled).

yeah true, im for sure not stupid, cause i installed that OS for a specific reason, but as i said, its not your business why.

i dont think that this is worth a comment ....

please dude, read the question ...
[HD Mini General] sunbeam:
finally, i figured out, how to make it work

go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=6eb8d0aa-bc6b-4864-8ffe-dc26e1d9f843&displaylang=en and download Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit). Go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=4F68EB56-7825-43B2-AC89-2030ED98ED95 and download Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit) (you have to have a valid copy of MS OS - because Validation is Required).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Install the downloaded files with the order you downloaded them (1. Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit) and 2. Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit))

Plugin your WM device, and voila, everything works fine.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My problem was, i downloaded only the first file from the Microsoft site, since i thought the second file was the same (names are almost identical, if you are in a hurry)

P.S. if you have Microsoft Outlook 2010 64-bit (im not sure if this the case with the 2007 version as well), active sync will not work.

So I did the EB13 update via oden (coming from DK27), then i did the 1 click root and removed some sprint bloatware. anyhow i'm unable to do the profile or prl update. I get a internal error message. so now i'm planning to do the update via the samsung tool, will that automatically clear everything necessary to do a fresh install? I want to make sure to update the "right" way this time around, any help is appreciated

As a side note it's strange that the update page is giving an error message: http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=559&AT_ID=351569

1. It is called S-OFF, check the Radio S-OFF tool in my signature. Then Android devices require custom recovery to load ROMs, my thread has instructions on how to get that. You can also read the complete guide to flashing, it is a sticky in DHD android dev subforum.

2. Read the sticky, or my tool's first post.

i think i bricked my phone..i was trying to flash CM7 so first i went to stock 2.1 for safety and then by mistake i flashed a 2.2 kernel the phone stuck at atnt screen.luckily i was able to get to recovery screen,so next i tried to follow CM7 instructions first i flashed efs backup in recovery and i rebooted to download mode from recovery itself coz i wasnt able to go to download mode directly.and when i selected the kernel and flashed it said "FAIL"..i removed the usb and connected again it still said fail..i thought that i need to go to download mode again so i removed battery and now whatever i do i get a screen with "phone ! pc" i tried so many things searching in this forum but nothing worked for me..someone please help me :( please please!!!
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Sounds like you need a jig
[Captivate General] rurouni572:
The instructions clearly say that you're supposed to start from a custom rom and a kernel that has cwm. If you don't know what you're doing don't even attempt to flash.

As for a fix, it looks like jig time.
[Captivate General] rnewton01:
try putting in the battery while holding both volume buttons and a usb already in. if that doesn't work, you will need a jig i guess

[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Take this for what its worth, but the same got that gave me all the other info before the xoom was released, told me Costco will have wifi only version on March 24. He is saying a price of $639. If anyone followed before he was right on with the date and item numbers but a little off on price for the 3g xoom.
[Xoom General] NeutronBomb:
I can't see Costco selling it for almost $100 more than Sam's club. Either way if that date holds up I'll be returning my 3g Xoom for a wifi only one. Absolutely no need for 3g/4g antenna's with a rooted phone and free tethering, especially once I get my tbolt.
[Xoom General] Malcus1:
I hope he's wrong on the price, especially after hearing the Sam's Club price. I have a membershipt at Costco but it would literally be a better deal to buy a $40 year long membership at Sam's Club just to buy the Xoom at $100 less. Plus I've heard Sam's Club is giving a free gel case with every Xoom...
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
That was a fake price at a model store where they setup fake product displays.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
This date of March 24 makes a lot of sense. Its easily feasible that Verizon dictated to Motorola that they need to have an exclusivity on the 3G version with no WiFi version out for the first month (dirty I know, but I wouldn't put it past them). Then the WiFi comes out exactly 1 month after launch.

Regardless of what Sam's Club's fake pricing at a display store was, I really hope the $639 pricing is incorrect just from the standpoint of getting their sales and market share up. I think its really important for Motorola to at least hit the $599 price point to be in parity with the 32gb iPad, regardless of what you think the advantages/disadvantages of each device is. $599 is the competitive price, and I'd expect Costco to obviously be a few $$ under that, much like they were with the 3G version at $789. There's no way that they would really sell for over $100 more than another store (or even $50 more than another store). We're going to see pretty much perfect price parity across retailers, just like any other device launch.

I'm also intrigued to see what the pricing for the 3G version looks like when the WiFi version comes out as well.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
It better be a lot lower than that with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 coming out and Samsung saying they had to re-evaluate some things after the iPad2 launch. Also, the iPad2 will be out at a $500 price point, and the original iPad is selling for $350. Gonna be a hard sell on the Xoom at $650 when there is only one wifi SKU and other options are selling for less.
[Xoom General] waltah!:
Personally I think they missed the boat by not offering a 16gb wifi only version right off the bat. They could have easily priced that at $500 and be competitive. $600 isn't an unfair price imo since the wifi 32gb iPad is the same, but even $20 cheaper would have made them look good.

Wifi version will be coming home with me on launch day as long as it's not more than $600.
[Xoom General] akoni1p:
If they sold a 16gb one, nobody would buy the 32gb one since you can increase the space with SDcard. Apple got the advantage since their Storage is pretty much locked. We have to thank old Stevie jobs for the pricing dilemma since all these other new android tabs won't be price too high.
[Xoom General] Kent_Davis:
I am very excited about the Xoom. I am really wanting one.

[Xoom General] knut150:
Me too…:) although I must said that my interest lays more on the GMS version of the Xoom, if or when they release that model is coming home with me; I happen to travel a lot, therefore in my case having the antenna is almost a must and the cdma thing just does not do it for me in Europe.
[Xoom General] wynand32:
I'm pretty sure Moto already said the wifi-only 32GB version will be $599, so the $539 price at Sam's Club makes perfect sense (that's about their typical discount for electronics like this). I'd be surprised to see it at $639 anywhere, including Costco.
[Xoom General] tphone:
I checked out the Xoom at Costco in Mountain View today. Not very impressed because of the weight, the performance of the unit and the price. It's heavier than the iPad 1, and the iPad 1 is already too heavy for me. Touch screen has some lag, screen rotation is definitely not fast and not as pleasant as Apple engineers can do on the iPad. When you rotate the screen, it takes few second for the screen to rotate, but it does not zoom to fit the new screen format and rotate smoothly. It first flash the same display to the new screen format, so if you rotate from portrait to landscape, the right hand side of the screen show a black stripe, because the screen is now wider. Then a little time later, it reformats the display to fill the screen. Same behavior happens when you rotate from landscape to portrait with the missing part below.

The best part is that the sales guy who attended the Costco Mountain View wireless booth tried to teach me a lesson about using the device and how to hold it steady at the angle he specified, like a robot and wait. He said that I don't know how to use the device. Just like Steve Jobs told people how to hold the iPhone4 LOL. Of course, the customer is always wrong.... I walked away and said "No. Thank you anyway!"

Apple succeeds, because it makes the most stupid customers feel empowered. Here you have one of the most advanced device, the Xoom, and the customers feel stupid. Maybe that is the problem of the sales guy at Costco Mountain View this Sunday afternoon, but I felt it's a waste of my time to look at the device. I will certainly not buy the iPad 2, and I will wait for the next Android tablet that really impresses me and not make me feel stupid. Maybe another sales person would do it with the same device :)
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Wow you are really neurotic about screen rotation. It's a consensus around here that the screen rotation is a built in delay, to prevent accidental rotations (that happen all the time on the iPad). I barely notice the delay anymore, and if you're that crazy about what the animation looks like, you should stick with apple I think...

I have had zero trouble getting the device to rotate, it rotates just fine every single time. You just have to be patient and not expect it to flip around like crazy every time you flick it in one direction.

Also, it's almost exactly the same weight as the iPad 1
[Xoom General] colbyb25:
You may be right. Apple does a great job are marketing to the masses. However that being said, a large screen full of icons is a little antiquated when it comes to the technology race. The only thing apple has over Android is the eco system they have built. Even then it is only a matter of time before Android is somewhat comparable.

In the end I think people want choice. Don't write off the Xoom because of a lame sales Rep. My wife is not technologically savy and she loves her Xoom as do I.
[Xoom General] theahlenius:
iPad: 730g

iPad2: 607g

Xoom 730g

It is so easy to Google for information. It's heavier than the iPad2, but your limp wrist is wrong about it being heavier than the original. You said that even equal to the iPad is too heavy, so I'm not faulting your thought process, just the facts.

I'm glad your entire basis of performance was on the intentional delay built into switching screen orientations. Damn, now I am faulting your thought process.

You don't have to buy it or like it. But if you're going to share the experience with us, please be rational about the conclusions you come to.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Wait, I thought this thread was about the WiFi Xoom at Costco? Not one of the other 1000 threads on Xoom vs. iPad...
[Xoom General] tphone:
OK. My fault that I didn't check the fact and I agree with you on this part. But it certainly feels heavier than the iPad I also tried this afternoon.

Note that I mentioned that the screen rotation is not smooth at all as what you can see on the iPad. The iPad rotates AND zooms at the same time. The Xoom splits the screen rotation in two separate processes and does not do that smoothly. If flashes the original size of the display with black stripe, then delays, then reformats it to fit the screen. That is what I mentioned. The delay in the rotation is understandable and the same delay is in any iPhone and Android phone that I use. It's not the problem that I wanted to point out. I wanted to point out the smoothness of the UI. Anyway, I don't understand why other manufacturers want to compete against Apple and overlook small things (big things for users) that give Apple the success that it achieved. Technically that small problem should not be hard to solve, if competing manufactures pay attention to these small (big) details. It's like you drive a lot of sport cars and when you want to buy the Maserati car and the stick shift hangs between the gear shift and the sales guy say you don't know how to drive a stick shift sport car. Anyway, I am not fanatic with UI, since I stepped up from the Windows Mobile Phone to Android. I have endured a lot of UI design stupidity and I know that I do not want to buy just the UI (otherwise, it's really an easy decision and I would go straight to the Apple store).

Sorry to be off topic Xoom at Costco.

What is a kernel and if there's already a post can you find it for me.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thederekjay:
dont be affraid to use the search functions of XDA, it can help answer a lot of questions you have and be very informative at times..

Wikipedia definition:

"In computing, the kernel is the central component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components).[1] Usually as a basic component of an operating system, a kernel can provide the lowest-level abstraction layer for the resources (especially processors and I/O devices) that application software must control to perform its function. It typically makes these facilities available to application processes through inter-process communication mechanisms and system calls."

You will find Kernels in the dev section. Depending on what rom u r using will decided on what kernel u will flash..

[Xoom General] Bauxite:
This website happens to have an app as well that works just great on the Xoom.

I think the issue is the sheer number of elements that get loaded on this forum, buttons and table layouts everywhere. Give the browser devs time to optimize. Every other website I go to beats an iPad in speed every time.

I understand, but how come it looks great on an iPad? Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending apple, but I want a very smooth experience on my dual core device. I'm starting to believe is android thing cause I get the same issue with my galaxy tab; it is ridiculously painful to use stock browser.

Here's a weird one I just figured out. All day home screen has been like butter swiping from screen to screen then all of a sudden an hour ago choppiness. One by one I close applications until nothing was left. I rebooted and still chop. Then I realized it started when I plugged it in. Unplugged and nothing still choppy. Figured well when I charge it upside down. Flipped it over and guess what? Buttery smooth!

I can replicate it every single time. Flip it to any orientation other then landscape with charger down and experience chop. Anyone else? Funky bug...
