Command for removing peep and twitter apks from hero?

So these to apps slow down hero a lot, and i wanted the command for console(rec mode) to remove them.

can't you remove them with rm from shell?

you just need to remount the system with RW permissions.
mount remount,rw -o yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
then run rm commands to get rid of it

search just about any hero thread in development for "peep" and you'll find adb instructions........

Script Making

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

Help with terminal emulator?

I'm trying to copy a Camera.apk from my sdcard into the /system/app/
so far this is what i've come up with and I get an error saying I don't have the permission to Change the original Camera.apk:
su
cp /sdcard/Camera.apk /system/app/
reboot
Can somebody please help me with this? I just switched from Win7 to Linux and I realized that using the terminal emulator might be the fastest way to do this without installing the sdk.

Use the mount line from this thread:
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
that should work..

Thank you

[Q] adb remount vs. mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 ...

So in several "how to remove apk" threads, I've seen 2 different ways to go about removing apks.
1)
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/blah.apk
2)
Code:
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# rm /system/app/blah.apk
My questions is, is there a difference between adb remount and mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2blahblah?

The long command can be run on a terminal emulator on the phone so you can do other things without a computer.
