adb shell
su
busybox rm /data/data
busybox cp -rp /disk/data /data/
busybox rm /data/data.bak
busybox rm -r /disk/data
The first command puts you into the command line on the phone.
the second line gives you root access
the third line removes the soft symlink that we created in the original instructions
the fourth line copies the stuff from your ext partition back to the phone
the fifth line deletes the backup of your original data partition you made
the sixth line deltes the data partition on your ext partition - this is optional step and BE SURE your cp in line four was successful first.
We could alternately just mv the /data/data.bak back to /data (busybox mv /data/data.bak /data/data) after removing the symlink, but that would put your /data/data folder back to where it was before you started, so any app changes you made while residing on ext partition would be lost.
Use the same procedures to undo the market fix stuff.

hey... could you elaborate on that?
thanks,

EDIT: I have found this here:
Code:
adb shell
su -
busybox rm /data/data
busybox rm /system/media
busybox cp -rp /disk/data /data/
busybox cp -rp /disk/media /system/

Am I safe to assume that if I've done a hard reset and flashed a new firmware it will have removed the fix? Or do I still need to undo it?

Don't forget to rm the .bak folder for /system/media.bak if you have it, otherwise you're wasting disk space.

Yes, any new firmware flash should wipe these fixes. However, your ext partition will still have the apps and other stuff on it. Not an issue since you can't use that space without running a lag-fix kernel that mounts it, or you repartition the sdcard.

last question: when I try to rm the data.bak, it tells me: "data.bak is a folder!"... what is that about?

When you did the fix in the first place it backed up the original folder by renaming it to .bak, so it is a folder, it's the original /data/data folder that you had before doing the fix!
You might have to use rm -r to remove it, or to be really safe, just use Root Explorer or the like and delete it.
Pretty easy to screw up your phone if you mistype with the rm or rm -r.

apps2sdcard removing problem

Hello, I followed this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Removing_Apps2SD
It says:" Then proceed to the ADB instructions from after 'adb shell' " so I jumped those steps:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
Why are they shown anyway if you have to jump them?
Then
Code:
rm /data/dalvik-cache
did not work so i used
Code:
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
instead but it also did not work because the dir was busy. Any ideas?
Thank you very much.
Wait, what are you trying to do, remove the apps2sd function? If so backup the contents of your card, format it and copy the contents back. You'll be without an ext partition so the phone will have to install apps to the nand.
Yes, thanks. But Apps2SDCard will be reinstalled of course.
What? You need to be more clear on what you want to achieve.... if you dont have an EXT partition, apps2sd is disabled.

app2sd for spica

this is app2sd for spica, i'm using xjd1 firmware (eclair 2.1) + root_lkupdate_v3_pda
first, I will not responsible for any damage of your device...
you will need a partitioned sdcard, just use paragon partition manager to create fat32 and ext2 partition, create fat32 first then ext2
it's recommended that you use at least class 4 microsd...
here it is:
#mount -o remount,rw,codepage=utf8,vfat,xattr,check=no /dev/stl6 /system
#busybox df -h --> make sure /sdcard is on /dev/block//vold/179:1
#cd / --> go to root directory
#mkdir /system/sd
#mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
#busybox df -h --> make sure /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is mounted on /system/sd, if the mounting process fails you can't continue...
#mkdir /system/sd/app
#cd /data/app
#cp * /system/sd/app <-- if you do fresh firmware update, skip this step
#cd /data
#rm -r app
#ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app
basically app2sd is ended here, but you will lost app2sd every phone reboots, so you'll need to edit install-recovery.sh, add "mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd" in the last line...or simply download edited install-recovery.sh here: http://cid-c4b7e1a837cca944.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/install-recovery.sh
install-recovery.sh is meant to autorun app2sd when phone reboots...
#cd /system
#chmod 0777 etc
#mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.old --> backup the oiriginal install-recovery.sh
#exit
$exit
prompt>adb push install-recovery.sh /system/etc --> push downloaded install-recovery.sh to spica, don't turn off phone if pushing install-recovery fails!!!
if you wan't to turn off your phone you'll need to type:
#mv /system/etc/install-recovery.old /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
to restore install-recovery.sh to the original one...then you can safely turn off your spica...
prompt>adb shell
$su
#cd /system
#chmod 0755 etc
#chmod 0755 etc/install-recovery.sh
reboot to check if it works...
I will try to answer any questions you may have about the tut here but be forewarned, I'm no guru when it comes to this stuff. Therefore, if a question is asked that I can't answer, it would be appreciated if someone else who can does so.
I successfully allocated 560mb for /data/app

ok so i have found me a free copy of paragon and have partitioned to fat32. how would i then create ext2 on the sdcard? ive been looking through the program and am not seeing how to creat ext2. Suggestions? I use win7 32bit. Thanks

first you need to delete all partition...
now, create fat32 partition first, specify how much mb you want to create for fat32
and then create partition again, choose ext2 for file system...
that's all...

i have allocated 5gb for fat32. but when i attempt to partition to ext2, my only choices are 'not formatted' or 'fat16' or 'fat32' or 'apple hfs'
so im close but just not there. lol

ive downloaded 2010 free edition and demo edition. i am also inprocess of 9.0 professional. so, once that is done and installed i will try again. looks like a little trial and error til i get it. thanks for the replys and point in the right direction!
UPDATE: So i dl'd 9.0 pro. and it worked to create ext2 on the sdcard. so now i will attempt this again and go from there. again thanks for the help.
2nd update:
#mkdir /system/sd/app
#cd /data/app
#cp * /system/sd/app <-- if you do fresh firmware update, skip this step
#cd /data
#rm -r app
#ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app
got to #rm -r app and it deleted all my apps and wouldnt allow me to carry on. so i would assume that this should be done using adb?
That's wonderful !
Would it be possible to store some apps on the SD card, and let others in the phone's memory ?
Thanks in advance

no, before you rm -r app, you should cp * /system/sd/app as told in above steps, so the applications still there in /system/sd/app, and now link the app to /data/app/ with ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app
so the /data/app is basically just a link to /system/sd/app now since it has been removed...

I printed the instructions out and followed step by step. i wi ll however try again. lol i really dont mind flashing my phone again. i like the trial and error part. i did exactly as mentioned.

UPDATE: Just attempted this again and again my phone crashed. are you sure its rm first then ln or is it ln first then rm? also does it matter that i'm using a latest firmware from samsung-firmwares?
lol i think i know what happened. is that it may have copiued my files over before i could ln them
johnnywhojr said:

Click to expand...

No, the instructions are correct. They copy the files over, remove them from their original location & finally link the now empty source directory to point to the new app filled directory on the sdcard.
If you tried to do it the other way around & created the link first you'd no longer be able to access the apps in /data/app in order to copy them to the sd card.
Why don't you try the process from scratch after a nandroid restore & then cut & paste the entire sequence of commands & their output into this thread?
lol...too late. have already reflashed. may attempt again. i usuallly delete all stock apps anyways to clear space using root explorer or through connectbot. what my problem was as soon as i typed in rm -r app, everything went funny and lost my terminal. so i could ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app. so not sure why that happened. lol, once i get that figured, i still need to figure out the next step. lol i dont mind the trial and error. its a lot more exciting than a damn blackberry or iphone.

What makes you think that? All it involves is moving some files, creating a symbolic link & editing one other file. That said, I'd use adb if I was at my PC, if only because it gives me a proper keyboard & decent sized terminal.

Just wanted to add that they work fine, now just to figure out how to flash a different boot image to get rid of the AT&T World Phone logo.
Why dont you flash with the GT-I9000 rom and say goodbye to At&t everything?

Didn't they free the brothers back in January 1865?
Hi,
How did you get these into the right folders?
What commands did you use?
Tried root explorer and su file manager and they won't paste ther files into system/etc or system/media.
adb gives a no access and can't use adb remount to push file.
So I am stuck.
Thanks

I used Root Explorer and copied them. You would have to mount the /system folder with RW permissions in ADB or just click the Mount RW button in Root Explorer before copying them over.

Hi,
For some reason root explorer wouldn't paste these.
But I did figure out a way with adb.
I copied all 3 files to my sdcard 1st
These are the commands I used in case they are of help to anyone:
D:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9
mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /s
# busybox cp /sdcard/PowerOn.wav /system/etc
busybox cp /sdcard/PowerOn.wav /system/etc
and
D:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
# busybox cp /sdcard/bootsamsungloop.qmg /system/med
busybox cp /sdcard/bootsamsungloop.qmg /system/media
# busybox cp /sdcard/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media
busybox cp /sdcard/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media

[Q] Removed apps come back - WHAT?

How do I avoid that built-in apps like Gallery re-appear after deletion??
When I try this on htc Hero with CM6 (and CM7) and my rooted Motorola Charm the removed apps don't re-appear - they nicely stay gone.
But in this case I run CM6.1 stable on my Wildfire and when remove apps Titanum says success but the apps still work and re-appear in Titanium after reboot. E.g. CMStats (CyanogenMod stats), Weather, Livewallpapers etc. My device is rooted but I simply can't get rid of any built-in app.
Titanum is in the SuperUser app and in Terminal su and id says I'm too allright. I've even tried
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3
chmod 777 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs /
chmod 777 /
But it still doesn't work even though filesystem says rw
Root Explorer says success when it deletes or renames APKs in /system/app - but the apps are still there later! VERY odd. But Root Explorer can't create dirs or copy files to system/app...
What am I missing here?
I got the same prob pal..both methods weren't working for me on CM 6.1 stable..try ADB it worked flawlessly..

I think this is because wildfire doesn't have s-off. You could remove the apps from the rom before flashing, or remove using adb in recovery
boot into recovery
unmount /system (get r/w access )
adb shell rm /system/app/xxx.apk

[MOD] 4.1.57 deodexed framework and app files (AT&T Only)

Here are the App and Framework system files for 4.1.57 fully deodexed.
You must already have Root access in 4.1.57.
Typical disclaimer as always...
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This is for experienced users only please.
Remember to make a backup of your existing framework and app folders BEFORE you do this.
Link: Atrix-1.57deodexed IGNORE the instructions in the zip. Updated ones below.
Feel free to mirror.
Note: Photoedit.apk was pulled form the 1.26 Adeo file as the 1.57 version would not deodex properly.
This file did not change from 1.26. to 1.57, so I see no issue with using it.
UPDATE: The instructions contained in the zip have an error... oops.
This is why I don't write scripts. I type to fast.
Hopefully some of you guys caught that before entering the commands.
Again, backup your original system/framework and system/app files BEFORE you do this in case you want to revert back to an odexed system.
Here is the correction:
Put your phone in USB Mass Storage Device mode.
Copy the app and framework directory and their contents from the zip file to the root of your sdcard.
***Verify the copy was successful before you continue.***
Set USB mode back to None.
Type the following commands via ADB.
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp /sdcard/app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/framework/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
reboot
Thanks, you beat me to it!

I deodexed them last night, but wanted to run through some testing before I packaged them up.
Anyone feel like scripting this, go for it.
I must have done something wrong in shell... soft brick, certain it was my fault.

It looks like this isn't complete. There are some files in framework that you did not deodex, installing this on any phone will very likely brick.

What is missing?
Running on mine without any issues at all.
EDIT:
I see what you're talking about and it's a non-issue if you follow the commands to load them.
The 4 files missing from the framework folder were not odexed to begin with, so the originals will remain.
Remember, I'm not having anyone delete the entire contents of the framework folder, only the .odex files AFTER they copy over the deodexed versions first.
rm /system/framework/*.odex
These files are not odexed to begin with, so they are not touched.
blur-res.apk
framework-res.apk
moto-res.apk
android.test.runner.jar
You will also notice that 19 files are missing from the app folder as well... again, I'm not deleting any .apk files in the instructions, only the .odex files.
The 19 .apk files that are not included in my zip file are already present on a 1.57 system in a deodexed state.
I saw no point in adding them.
Make sense now?

Question, possibly a dumb one but anyway it is. . . I couldn't get the script for root on update to work so if I go this route is it the same as getting from moto and is it possible to still have root with it?
Very nice contribution!

This won't work without having root access first.

I am still on 4.1.26 rooted and deodexed. Do I have to update my phone to 4.1.57 before copying the framework and apps folder? I know the script in OP won't work in my case but I can come up with another script. Thanks.

Right - this is only for 4.1.57. If you do it on 4.1.26 you'll get a soft brick.
rjohnstone, its always best to do stuff like this under Early USB Enumeration mode. It is possible to get it to stop the automatic rebooting by typing "stop" into the console.

Thx for the tip.
I did use the stop command in my process and was able to prevent a reboot.
The process is so quick that I didn't see a single FC during the copy.
I think it should be mentioned in the OP that root is required.
