I tried to delete calander.apk because I don't need and it could boost my phone up. I did the following:
Su
Cd /system/app
Rm -f Calendar.apk
But it can't delete it because. It is a readonly system file. I also tried rebooting and doing it by pressing atl+x. That also didn't work what do I do now????
(I am still a newbie so I think I might have placed this thread in the wrong place...sorry)
Unfortunately it won't boost your phone up it'll most likely mess it up
$ su
# busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
...
This is the wrong forum. There is a dream Q&A section for questions like this. And there is a sticky at the top of the forum pointing you in the right direction. Well... 2 stickies actually, you can look up what alt+x does. Oh, and familiarize yourself with nandroid
you have to mount your system, on terminal go with
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm nameapplication.apk
reboot
Ok. I will try and tell u later. Thanks for the help. Do u guys know what qxdmlog.apk is

Yes it worked. thx man. There is force cloase or anything thanks again

im about to leave right now, but when i get back i can write it up .. i usually delete VoiceDialer/VoiceSearch and Amazon everytime I flash a new ROM
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...

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.

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 ve noticed that many people have posted having problems with keyboard layouts after flashing a rom. I have a German G1 which was rooted to Cyanogens 4.2.14.1 before, and I never had problems keeping the phone in English but retaining the German keyboard (I ve gotten use to it).
But after flashing Super D just now (which is AWESOME), my keyboard has defaulted back to the U.S keyboard, which is really annoying.
Anyone know exactly why this problem didnt exist in Cyanogens rom and why it does exist with SuperD? Also, Im assuming this is something I have to live with, as I couldnt find an easy fix for it? I really just want the German keyboard back.
Any help would really be appreciated.
1.SuperD isnt Cyanogen
2.Most Likely in the scripts that have to do with the keyboard.
Hope that didnt sound rude but yeah =/ You would probably have to change something in the system/usr directory.
I had the same problem and solved it like so:
1.) DL and unzip the zip file I have attached
2.) copy the file to your SD card root folder
3.) open a Terminal Emulator app and type the following (press Enter after each line and allow if it ask for permission):
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/usr/keychars/
dd if=/sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin of=trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
4.) Reboot your phone.
5.) Profit...
You will have to do this after every ROM flash, but it literally just takes a few seconds, so not worth mentioning.

This is exactly what I tried, but after the "dd if=/sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin of=trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin" command in terminal, I get an error that says:
"cannot open for write: Read-only file system"
Not sure what Im doing wrong. I unzipped the file, put it on sd card, and entered in the commands.
I heard this method works for everyone, but for some reason I get this error when i try it.
Sadly, I'm not to familiar with linux or coding in general, but I would assume something went wrong when remounting. Your system folder seems to remain read-only...
Maybe someone more qualified can help with the right command line... ?
Edit
make sure there is a space between mtdblock3 and /system like so (shown red):
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3SPACE/system

Still no luck. I double checked, and its typed correctly. I tried swapping this command:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
for this one:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (found in another thread)
but it still didnt work. After I tried using the "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" command that I found in the other thread, I didnt get the error, and thought this may have fixed the keyboard. But when I rebooted, the keyboard was still wrong.
Sorry dude, that's all I got. All I can say is, it works for me.
Maybe this'll help?

It worked!!! Thanks to everybody for all there help. It was this one command line that made all the difference!
So nice to have a keyboard again where all the keys actually display what they are supposed to. It was driving me crazy.
Thanks again guys
