hi everyone,
***i searched and searched but i couldnt find the answer***
i had apps2sd on a previous rom and i recently switched to the mytouch rom.
after i wiped and applied update, i get stuck at the boot loop. i know that this is caused by the apps2sd and i remember seeing a set of commands that erase it from the sd card but it was deep in a thread and i dont remember which thread it was.
can someone please help me ( and others) out by posting the commands that will get it past the boot loop?
i tried this in the recovery console but it didnt work:
mount data
ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app
Thanks guys!
also tried this but it didnt work:
mount data
rm /data/app
mkdir /data/app
im still stuck on boot loop
Code:
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
cd /system/sd
rm -r *

mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
cd /system/sd
rm -r *
does that delete everything on the sd card?
this gives me an invalid argument error:
"mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd"
i can get to
/system/sd #
when i type in cd /system/sd
?????what do i do???

said what the hell and tried the rm command and i got permision denied on everyfile it tried to erase
easiest way would be to reformat your ext partition.
then wipe and reflash
other roms can leave junk in the ext partition that causes bootloops quite often. this is a very common problem and i always find a reformat, which takes like 30 seconds with gparted live cd, fixes it
is there a way to do it through the phone?
my micro sd adapter broke and im waiting for amazon to send my a new one

With the abilty to switch between touch flow and home now, would it be possible to change the launcher icon for the app drawer? IE the look to make it look like Oreo instead of a modified Hero tab? Thanks!!!
Yes, just find a theme with the app draw you want. Extract the Launcher.apk from the zip and adb push it to where it is in your current build.
adb push Launcher.apk /data/app_s
or paste it in the root of your sdcard and type in terminal:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm -r /data/app_s/Launcher.apk
rm -r /data/app_s/Launcher.odex
cp /sdcard/Launcher.apk /data/app_s/

IIRC, miketaylor00 posted up a script a while back to automatically remove a couple apps. I sent him a message with a link to this thread, but it looks like the board's Dominicano can help.
this would remove the apps:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm VoiceDialer.apk
rm Music.apk
rm com.amazon*.apk
rm IM.apk
rm Mail.apk
rm Talk.apk
Just remove the .txt extension from the attachment
What's the difference between "rm" and "rm -r"?

the -r switch will make it recursive, but since we're not doing it to directory, we don't need it ... i was gunna add some more to the script to remove the data/data/ directories for each of those apps up there, but i gotta look to see what they are first
thankx this is great i knew i wasent the only1 tired of doing that...

rm -r com.amazon.mp3

yup just gotta be careful with removing an app that could be dependent on another app
Is there anything stopping me from combining both into one shell script? I was going to make a script to do this myself because I am so sick of that damn teeter app! I will never play it and almost every ROM has it included.

go ahead and combine them .. it should still work as long as you dont interleave the 2
also, the 2nd script doesnt need that mount command since we are messing with /data/ instead of /system/
I hand-typed the commands in console and received this error:
"mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system failed: Invalid Argument
Any ideas?

a noob question... how do you run a script? and what do you mean by removing .txt extension...
thank you!!!
Save his file to your SD card, and rename it to RemoveApp.sh instead of RemoveApp.sh.txt. To run it, you can go into Terminal Emulator and type "sh /sdcard/RemoveApp.sh", substituting the correct file path where you have saved the script.

Tell me what I'm doing wrong here. I'm trying to make a script that will remove some apps whenever I flash a new rom. Here's what I thought would work:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm com.amazon*.apk
rm Mail.apk
rm Development.apk
rm LatinIME.apk
To use it I type:
Code:
$ su
# sh /sdcard/apps.sh
and it just fails at every line. Any help would be appreciated.
On the first line try
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
or your could shortcut it by using
mount /system
Stupid question, but do you have the permissions set to allow root access?
I've done that a few times to realize what my "mistake" was.
well you could just make a script for your PC something along the lines of
Code:
@echo off
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/com.amazon*.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/Mail.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/Development.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/LatinIME.apk
adb shell reboot
and rename it to a .bat or .cmd file

Ok so I did that and the script appears to be working. I'll test it when Cyanogen release another update with amazon... Adding the -t yaffs2, what exactly did that do?
The -t is a trigger saying that your going to specify what type of filesystem your mounting, yaffs2 is the type of filesystem
I want to remove all the ringtones/alarms/notification sounds from my phone and then add the nexus sounds. Because I have doubles and triples of some ringtones. And I can't seem to get it to work. =/ Any insight?

To remove files from the system, first mount /system as rw
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
To remove ringtone.ogg, you would enter
Code:
rm /system/media/audio/ringtones/ringtone.ogg
To remove notification.ogg,
Code:
rm /system/media/audio/notifications/notification.ogg
To remove alarm.ogg
Code:
rm /system/media/audio/alarms/alarm.ogg
To remove all media from a folder, say for example ringtones, you could enter
Code:
rm /system/media/audio/ringtones/*
Now, to copy a the folder /ringtones from the sdcard to your system, you would first mount /system as rw (as in the first step) then enter
Code:
cp -r /sdcard/ringtones /system/media/audio
When done, be sure to reboot.
