I'm currently using Dwangs donut ROM.
For some strange reason my Terminal Emulator is "missing".
There is no icon for it in my app tray.
Market shows it as installed, but cannot open it nor uninstall it.
I have now installed Better Terminal Emulator Magic. What commands do I need to enter to completely remove Terminal Emulator from my system, so that I can try reinstalling it from the Market?
I hope I've made myself clear - if not please feel free to ask for clarification!
Look in the Development Tools or Spare Parts. I've seen a couple builds where it ends up in there.

To remove it do this in the recovery console
mount system
rm /system/app/Term.apk (i think that is the name for it)
reboot

Ah, now we're getting somewhere (sort of!)
I've done that, but get the response:
rm: cannot remove ' /system/app/Term.apk' : No such file or directory
that means its not there or its spelled wrong..
try using /system/sd instead of system
also, maybe clearing the market cache would work

Tried both of these - no joy :-(
1. Same response as before
2. Terminal Emulator still showing as installed (but Open & Uninstall buttons greyed out), even after clearing Market cache.
well if you dl one of cyanogens roms, you can pull the apk from there and push it to system
Yea or adb install -r
if it is not in /system/app then you can drop it in there with these commands, make sure that the .apk is in the root of your sdcard
Code:
mount sdcard
mount system
cp /sdcard/Term.apk /system/app/
reboot
My sprint voicemail app is gone..?.?.? Not sure what happened to it after i flashed modaco 1.1. Anybody got a copy for me?

Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

reboot

this didn't work for me anybody got a different answer.
Boot into recovery and try "Fix uid app mismatches" or you can download the App Installer by Flipz and run his Clear Cache thingy (www.geekfor.me and the go to downloads youll see app installer). Or if you have the 1.5.1 recovery you can clear the delvik cache in there somewhere.
Couple of options for you..
or just re-install the voicemail app..
app is attached

You should be able to Extract the ZIP to the root of the SD card, open Astro move into the SD card folder and just click on the APK. Then open it with Program Installer(i think thats the option, someting close).
If it errors, post back the message.
I moved the .apk i extracted to /sdcard/ and opened it with app manager and chose install. The error it gave me just said voicemail could not be installed on this phone.
I am also getting the error, "application not installed" when trying to install.

something weird happened on my phone when I installed the SuperD 1.9.3 rom. I've never had this problem before, so see if you can help me. I installed Chompsms and Acontacts amongst a variety of other apps. Well, I was texting earlier, when my phone froze. No biggy, I popped the battery out, placed it back in, and turned it on. Well I got the green boxes in place of the the logos for Chomp and Acontacts. I clicked on them and it said that the apps weren't installed? um, ok. I have aps2sd with ext3, so I figure something must have corrupted the file, no biggy, I'll just redownload it. So I go to the market, and it says the program is installed. I click on the program to try to reinstall, and the bottom where it says "open, uninstall" are greyed out. So the app isn't installed, but it is, so I can't uninstall and re-install. Anyone, help please? I really use these 2 apps!
Delete the apk's from /system/sd/
It also sounds like your marketdb file is still there too. I've had this problem with Backup for root users. It'll import the marketdb but sometimes it won't import the APK's. So that leaves you with no apps and the market seeing that you already have it. I'm trying to find where the program is pulling that file, and i'll let you know. If anyone else knows where it's at feel free to jump in.

That's what I was thinking but I didn't see it there...
While Im still looking for that file, you could also do the following:
Code:
Use switchrom and save your rom
flash a new rom
download the apks that are giving you problems (if its not too many)
use linda to save the apks to your SD card
switchrom back to the old rom
download and use linda to install the apks you saved.
It's not pretty but it'll get the job done.
Had a little time to look at the phone, did you try to delete the folder in /data/data/com.android.vending/?
Goto terminal emulator.
Type - mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (enter)
Type - rm /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/* (enter)
Type - reboot (enter)
Words in bracket are instructions and not to be typed.

i had the same problem and it worked...at first the terminal emulator went like 'are you root' and im like whaaat...i have cynogen 4.2.14.1...so had to type su before the 3 lines of codes...it worked
I have read the discussions about amoled screens not using battery on pixels which are meant to be black because it simply doesn't light anything up in the case. I was wondering if its possible for someone to make a Google talk app that is black with white text. Since that's my most used app I'd be interested in seeing if it makes any battery savings.

I could have sworn that it had a black background in the Eclair days... or at least on CM5.x Eclair. I could be mistaken, though.
Its been done, along with gvoice.

Consider that you will not be able to update without uninstalling the modded version.
Wow that's brilliant..never even thought about that before

The app was problematic - not showing Mobile and Android contact status. I've updated it and attached the APK in the linked thread.
Attaching it here too.
adb push TalkMod_Mod.apk /system/app/Talk.apk

I mean - before my update you couldn't see any of those. Not mobile and not Android. The watermarks just didn't show up near the contacts. Now you can see both.

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'll push it when I get home.
Maybe you can help answer a problem I'm having, I have 2 nexus ones, one for Tmo and one for ATT. The ATT is just a backup in case I move to ATT someday, and it's like my wifi tablet lol.
Anyways, when I originally figured out how to push the talk apk to my TMo nexus one, it worked perfectly. However, when I pushed it to the ATT one, it looked like it worked fine, it showed that the 1032 kb were pushed (I'm just guessing the amount)...and I rebooted the phone...the google talk is still white :S....I did it again, and again it looked like it worked fine, but the google talk is still white! Any idea how to check to see what I'm doing wrong? The command I'm entering is fine..
The talk.apk is in my sdk tools folder..and the command I'm using is
adb push talk.apk /system/app/talk.apk
The command you're entering is wrong. Linux is case sensitive, so is Android. Copy the command I gave above EXACTLY. And you might be pushing the wrong file, since you don't have it named right.
Thanks,
I had just figured it out last night. I needed to capitalize the T in talk....however, now when I do
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
I see in the files that there is a Talk.apk, and also a talk.apk. How do I remove the "talk.apk"?
adb pull talk.apk /c:/talk.apk ?
Pull doesn't remove, only copies to PC.
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm talk.apk
Once you execute "adb shell", you get to Linux shell. SH, specifically. Work with files and folders like you would in Linux.

Any way to install this via terminal emulator?
I am running Enom's 2.14.1, and I have apps2ext enabled...
I tried to use the command "mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"
to remount via terminal emulator, but it says mounting remount on /dev/block/mtdblock3/system failed: Not a directory.
So I'm trying to figure out how to install these without the computer. I don't have root explorer but I'm not sure how it would work considering I have apps2ext enabled.
Any suggestions?

Theres a space before "/system".
should work
1)mount as above
2)command: cp /sdcard/Talk_Mod.apk /system/app/Talk.apk
Thanks,
that gives me a new error though:
Code:
can't create '/system/app/Talk.apk': File exists
Got it!!
This command worked in terminal emulator to remount
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
Then I was able to do the cp /sdcard/Talk_Mod.apk /system/app/Talk.apk

Make sure you're running compatible version. This is for Froyo, you're running CM7 - not the same Gtalk.

this is for Froyo, correct? Do you happen to have a Gingerbread version?
No, I didn't make one. Try to look for various dark CM7 themes, you'll probably find it there.
Ok, so I haven't figured out the cord thing yet (phone won't connect to any computer using the stock cord, I can get it to show its charging...thats it!), so I am wondering if there is anyway to unroot without a computer? PLEASE HELP!!! I AM GETTING DESPERATE!!!

Open market and grab "terminal emulator", once you have it open it up and follow the steps as root (first thing you type into the terminal emulator is "su")
1./ remount /system to rw "busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
2./ erase root files "rm /system/xbin/su" "rm /system/bin/su" "rm /system/app/Superuser.apk" "rm /system/xbin/busybox"
3./ remount system ro and reboot "busybox mount -o remount,ro /system" "reboot"
these paths are for root w/zergs but they might be the same for Petes etc. This will clear all files and symlinks that were created when you rooted your device.
I am trying this now, thanks for the quick reply. Will let you know how it works!
Edit: Can you please put the exact code string I should enter into the Terminal? Thank you
Double Edit: I'm an idiot! I read your post wrong, I got it right this time and it worked!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

No, terminal app usually comes on custom roms but stock rooted users will have to download it for free off the market.
