Anyway to remove the Facebook App from my G1? - G1 Apps and Games

Question? Sry for the noob question, but I have a G1/Dream with update2.1. But for some reason, the pre installed FB app won't work, nor it won't update to the new version from the Marketplace.
Everytime I try, it says something like 'package file was not signed corretly' Can somebody help me with this? Thanks.

Can you uninstall it from Settings > Manage Applications ?
@romano_ezzat
There's no official 2.1 update for the G1, so the OP's phone must be rooted and running a 2.1 ROM.

but i cant do that myself because i am in Egypt i wish to root my phone but i want anyone be with me online to tell me step by step.thank u

Two ways to do it, possibly more but these are free.
Code:
In ABD-
Adb remount
adb shell
rm -f /system/app/Facebook.apk
or
Code:
In terminal
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -f /system/app/Facebook.apk

Yea guys, my phone is rooted, sry I forgot to mention it. But I will try what you posted above, thx!

Look up busybox in the market its free
Sent from my HERO200
Probably going to need to find the apk as a download and push it to the /system/app/ folder via adb. Same thing happened to me when I tried to fix the signal bar issue using metamorph. Updated busybox and got stuck in boot loop when I restarted.

Swype dictionary - where is located ?

Any idea where is located a swype dictionary ?
thanks
I would like to know this too, as swype often adds stupid things, like the end of a bit.ly link to my dictionary.
PS, this topic should be in the SGS general forum?
sorry to bring up old thread.
no one figure it out yet ? I don't want to teach swype new word every time I flash rom.
Agreed! I would like to avoid that as well!
/data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod/
But you need a rooted phone to back up that dir.

I'm running a ROM w/ root and cannot back this up.
From my computer, this is what I do from command prompt:
adb shell
# cp /data/data/comblahblahblah /sdcard/blahblah
Operation not supported

Basically is what happens

I've never heard of this bug nor had any problems with MMS
If you're having problems with mms try clearing out the telephony database
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm /data/data/com.*.*.telephony/databases/telephony.db
adb reboot
Can u give me a little step by step please? I really just know the basics on this phone thanks

Acutally seeing as the majority of rooted people probably just use the 'one click' apps it'd be easier to do this via Terminal Emulator.
Download Termial Emulator if you don't already have it on your phone
Open up terminal emulator
Then type out the following code box (at the end of each line you press 'Enter')
Code:
su
rm /data/data/com.*.*.telephony/databases/telephony.db
reboot

The location should exist...unless it was typed incorrectly or you have an incomplete flash /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ should definitely be there.
If you have root explorer or estrongs files explorer with root access you can navigate to that location and delete using those apps too. Rebooting will rebuild the telephony.db file after its deleted.
If you still are having problems trying to find the database file send me a PM and I'll help you out when I can on gtalk.
Edit: Do this, open up terminal emulator and enter these lines in
Code:
su
cd /data/data/com.*.*.telephony/databases
ls
You should get a return line saying
Code:
mmssms.db telephony.db
And then reboot phone?

If you're referring to my previous post where you navigate to the directory and enter "ls" to list the files in that directory, then no. Thats just to see if the files are indeed there.
If they are, then you should do that "rm" command I posted before where you delete the telephony.db
If they both weren't there, even after a reboot, then as I said before - either the command wasn't typed in correctly, or the flash was incomplete.
Post what the 'ls' command returned to you after entering it in (ie. mmssms.db and/or telephony.db)
Its telling me not found after I enter "telephony databases"
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Well I got that command to work that deletes the telephony DB but I still cant download certain mms it says download was unsuccessful
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Am I the only 1 who can't download mms on this phone?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Certain mms types will not work unless you're on a stock based rom. I believe it is the slideshows that are the problem.

Downgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.2.1

Hey Guys,
Is there any way I can downgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.2.1 ? I accidentally upgraded to 2.3.3 and lost my rooting. I'd like to install rVoix in my Nexus One but it seems like it doesn't work unless you downgrade to 2.2.1 and root it again.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

Use passimg with the FRG33 file...

Use FRG33 (PASSIMG method), then use Update method to move to 2.2.2
Have you tried using super one click to root your N1 at 2.3.3?

[Update] - I have downgraded to EPE76. Thanks for your help guys.
Now I'd like to root my device ? Should I upgrade to FRG33 before I can root mydevice ?
Thanks
Jugs
I used SuperOneClick to root my device and it says successfully rooted. However when I checked using Root checker downloaded from Market place, it says "You dont have root access".
I can run su command from within adb shell which means I should be on a rooted phone I guess. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I installed rVoix.apk on the device however I couldn't find the folder /dev/voc. The instruction says do "adb shell chmod 666 '/dev/voc*' " but I am not able to find that folder.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

[Q] one 4.2.2 bussy box

You can try BusyBox Installer by the developer JRummy Apps Inc, This one worked for me! Just press install and thats it.
I can't post the link but you can find it on the play store, just search for busybox and its usually the second one.
For those who have the same problem is becose the htc one has no permission for rw in to the system so if u wanna keep the stock kernel u can use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.timos.htconerw
To gain the rw permission and after u can use the busybox installer app in Google play

Thank you so much!
This worked for me on 4.2.2 (Australian phone - Telstra)
Sorry for reviving such an old thread. The above link is for an outdated app (I didn't bother trying it). It could still work.
This was the way I installed to my HTC One M7 International version.
However, here's another option for those of you wanting a fix. Use the "recovery" option in the installer; It'll reboot itself to recovery and flash a .zip of BusyBox. Worked for me. The app is called Busybox On Rails and can be found in the App Store.
I can't post a link, maybe a mod can add one or something...
Cheers
