I was previously running cyanogen mod with black-ice theme.
I've now updated to 4.2.5 and even though I've done a wipe and repaired the ext filesystems some of the icons are from the black-ice theme and also unable to update maps from market and some bits are left from the black-ice theme.
Should I also format the partition which has the apps?
Also running fix_permissions from console gave the following error message
cat: can't open 'data/system/packages.xml': no such file or directory.
I know there were some instructions on running fix_permissions as used them before but forgot to write them down and now unable to locate the exact sequence via search option
regards
update:
followed the instructions below
#mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
#cd /system/sd
#rm -rf /system/sd/*
#reboot recovery
I then done the following steps as well
alt-wipe
installed 4.2.5
fix_permissions.sh
rebooted, but again some icons are still from black-ice theme
regards
I am pretty sure the only way to get the Google Apps icons back would be to Flash the HTC image and then flash CM 4.2.5... If I am wrong, I am sure that someone will correct me...
Think I've sorted it
google maps was force closing all the time, even with using the fix_permissions so ran the following which I found on another thread on how to install a different version
#mount -o remount,rw /system
#rm /system/app/Maps.apk
#pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
#find /system /data -name \*google\*maps.apk\* -o -name Maps.apk | xargs rm
rebooted phone, then downloaded it again from market place
the only ones left with the wrong icon are google mail, market and you tube
Just flash a new theme and you will be good to go.
If you originally used the HTC Recovery to flash CM, you can use my theme template to flash back. Make sure you update google maps from the market again though

I did a BART backup of my G1 and restored it to a different G1. Now everytime I try to download an app. It continuously says "Starting download..." and just hangs there. The strange part is that the downloads are actually trying to download on the old G1. I've tried deleting com.android.vending in /data/data which didnt help. Any suggestions?
Wipe the other G1 lol
try this also
adb shell mount -o rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb shell echo "ro.config.nocheckin=1" >> /system/build.prop
Just went from Cm To Drawg. A change is as good as a rest.
All my Apk's have gone, when i go to the market, there showning as installed.
Which means i can't un-installed.
Can i use the console. and if so what comands should i use.
thanks in advance.

This will remove all apps so, I hope you didn't install hundreds
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/sd/app/*
rm /system/sd/app-private/*
reboot recovery
Now wipe your dalvik-cache, and you should be good to go
Getting ;-
mount Can't find /dev/block/mtdblock3/system in /proc/mounts
is there another way?? Or should i just keep trying??
Now getting invalid Argument???
Only App i really want back is Download crutch.
I have...
Nexus one
FRF91, android 2.2
Radio: 4.06.00.12_7
Recovery: Recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1
I fallowed all the steps on unlockr.com to root my N1. I see the Superuser Permissions installed, but I still don't have root access. I attempted to delete the amazon mp3 app from my phone with the fallowing command:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/*amaz*
and I'm replied with a Read-only error. Also, when I installed Titanium Backup, i was not able to gain root access after SU prompted me for permission (i allowed).
I have tried to re-root the device, but I'm told by superboot (updated FRF91 version) that the device has been rooted.
you gotta remount the /system to make big changes like that..
so you would go
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/app/amazon.apk
and should remove it from there.. you can also get terminal emu from market and use that with in terminal

I just got the N1 yesterday, was on the MT3G before it. Another little step I need to remember.
Thank you, it worked perfectly.
np and welcome
Just got my Droid yesterday. Already have Simple ROM 1.0 running... And I'm looking on here for apps2sd and can't find anything. Any answers? Before I did the flash, I was sitting at 120 megs of memory easily. Now... I'm sitting at around 77 megs.
Please help!!!

Haven't tried that rom, but if you go into settings>>applications, and go into each application, there should be an option to move to SD card. Don't move your launchers, or anything that has a widget, or you will have issues. Some apps will not allow you to move them anyways. It also doesn't move the entire application, usually about half to two thirds of the app gets moved.
If his suggestion doesn't work, Cyanogenmod has Apps2SD integrated and working. I thought you had to create an ext* partition, but apparently not anymore. It works fine as normal.
I'm using CyanogenMod right now... And I hate it. I keep getting FCs from .acore, whatever that is. I think it's a Firmware System File, and it's corrupted.
And that dude's answer is like the answer for a total noob that has no clue what they're doing. Sorry, but I'm not new to this. LOL!
Back on topic.... is there any way to get Apps2SD using the SDK's ADB Shell? I think I read somewhere that there's some way of basically tricking the Market and the phone into saving Apps2SD by using the ADB. If you've got commands, I can type them.
And also.... If I were to get Apps2SD working in SimpleRom, is there going to be a way that I can just pull the apps off my SD Partition without having to go all the way back through the excruciating process of RE-DOWNLOADING ALL MY APPS from the Market?
Until we figure this out, I'll be tinkering away on my own... LOL!
Regarding the force close with acore...have you tried clearing the dalvik-cache? I've had issues with the dalvik-cache getting hosed (or having an older copy).
Quickest way of clearing the dalvik-cache:
If dalvik is on internal storage: busybox rm -f /data/dalvik-cache/*
if dalvik is on cache partition: busybox rm -f /cache/dalvik-cache/*
In both cases, reboot the phone.
If the CyanogenMod is a nightly build, I noticed it puts the dalvik-cache on /cache partition. With my Darktremor Apps2SD, this messes up the program as it completely bypasses /data/dalvik-cache. Simple workaround would be to copy the files in /cache/dalvik-cache to /data/dalvik-cache, remove the /cache/dalvik-cache, then create a symlink of /cache/dalvik-cache pointing to /data/dalvik-cache.
Classic Apps2SD (or as some would call A2SD+) can be achieved by performing the following actions (after you launch ADB Shell):
1. Find out where your EXT partition for your SD card mounted to. There's at least two mount points: /system/sd or /sd-ext
2. Perform the following command:
- for mount point /system/sd: cd /system/sd
- for mount point /sd-ext: cd /sd-ext
3. Create two directories: app and app-private:
- busybox mkdir app
- busybox mkdir app-private
- chmod 777 app
- chmod 777 app-private
4. Copy the contents of both /data/app and /data/app-private to the SD card:
For mount point /system/sd:
- busybox cp -fp /data/app/* /system/sd/app
- busybox cp -fp /data/app-private/* /system/sd/app
For mount point /sd-ext:
- busybox cp -fp /data/app/* /sd-ext/app
- busybox cp -fp /data/app-private/* /sd-ext/app-private
5. Remove the /data/app directory and /data/app-private directory:
- busybox -rf /data/app
- busybox -rf /data/app-private
6. Create symlinks to the sd card:
For mount point /system/sd:
- busybox ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app
- busybox ln -s /system/sd/app-private /data/app-private
For mount point /sd-ext:
- busybox ln -s /sd-ext/app /data/app
- busybox ln -s /sd-ext/app-private /data/app-private
And that should do it. Just make sure that the rom mounts the /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 device:
Mount to /system/sd:
- busybox -t auto -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
Mount to /sd-ext
- busybox -t auto -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
Hope this helps.

I used a simple shell command in terminal emulator which worked fine for me, I believe its
pm setInstallLocation 2 (1 instead to reset to internal storage.)
one line of code, simple fix. and as stated earlier, no launchers or widgets should be moved, so if you install one after entering this, move it back to phone through application settings, manage applications.
Hi!
i flashed Elelinux 2.1 and use Launcherpro the paid edition.
But is force closes on me all the time getting pretty fed up with it!
somebody got an idea?
thnx..
go into adb and type:
adb shell
su -ENTER
cd /system/app
mount -o rw,remount /system
ls -a
*find LauncherPro, and copy the name EXACTLY (for the next step)*
rm -r LauncherPro.apk
*****************
Now re-install LauncherPro through the market, and enter your key again to activate Plus features.
I think that you need to do this because the LauncherPro version you have is old, and Plus doesn't like to work with the old versions. (correct me if I'm wrong)
