Script Making

Tell me what I'm doing wrong here. I'm trying to make a script that will remove some apps whenever I flash a new rom. Here's what I thought would work:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm com.amazon*.apk
rm Mail.apk
rm Development.apk
rm LatinIME.apk
To use it I type:
Code:
$ su
# sh /sdcard/apps.sh
and it just fails at every line. Any help would be appreciated.

On the first line try
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
or your could shortcut it by using
mount /system

Stupid question, but do you have the permissions set to allow root access?
I've done that a few times to realize what my "mistake" was.

well you could just make a script for your PC something along the lines of
Code:
@echo off
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/com.amazon*.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/Mail.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/Development.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/LatinIME.apk
adb shell reboot
and rename it to a .bat or .cmd file

Ok so I did that and the script appears to be working. I'll test it when Cyanogen release another update with amazon... Adding the -t yaffs2, what exactly did that do?

The -t is a trigger saying that your going to specify what type of filesystem your mounting, yaffs2 is the type of filesystem

You can use adb: (enter after each line) Put Launcher.apk in C: 1st.
adb shell
rwsystem or mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
adb push C:\Launcher.apk /system/app
or you can use terminal: (enter after each line) Make sure Launcher.apk is on the root of your sd card 1st
su
rwsystem or mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm system/app/Launcher.apk
cp sdcard/Launcher.apk /system/app
exit
exit
Hope this helped.

Exiting out will cause problems. A lot!
Rather than typing exit type reboot instead.

Push to phone for n00b

I am trying to push the stock HTC clock widget to my phone. Here are my command lines...
/AndroidSDK/tools
adb shell
# adb remount
adb not found
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app/
adb not found
What am I doing wrong? Please help.
I can get into the system/app folder and run a list of my apps, but have been unable to push to the phone

You don't use adb commands inside the shell.
C:\AndroidSDK/tools> adb remount
C:\AndroidSDK/tools> adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app/

[Q] Problem with ADB and Removing Apps

I'm not new to coding per se, I'm a web designer and developer and most of this makes complete sense to me, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I have decided I want to learn more by customizing the stock .5 RUU rom (reverted back from .6). So I am working on removing the stock Sprint apps at the moment. I rooted via UnrEVOked one-touch. I am running ROM Manager with the ClockWorkMod Recovery Image.
Here's my setup. I'm running Parallels on my Macbook with Windows XP. I added android-sdk-windows to my C:\ drive and started into the ADB. (I do have SU permission). I have USB Debugging running and I'm in Charge Only Mode.
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
$ su
su
[B]mount -o rw,remount Permission denied[/B]
$ # mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
$ cd system/app
cd system/app
$ ls
[Returns the long list of System Apps that are installed ]
$ # rm amazonmp3.apk
# rm amazonmp3.apk
$ exit
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools> exit
This is just an test, trying to remove the amazonmp3.apk. I reboot into recovery and reboot the system from there, but the app isn't removed. I've highlighted the possible "problem" commands. - The "Permission denied" error is automatic, I don't get to finish writing the remount code before it automatically gives me the "denied" error
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? I've read that the UnrEVOked app doesn't give you full root access, is this correct?

When in tools directory type
Adb remount
Adb shell
Rm (app name).apk /system/app

or if you removing several apps you may want to cd into the app dir
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm amazonmp3.apk

yeah, I think that the UnrEVOked one-touch just doesn't cut it because I get Permission denied on the "adb remount" command

getting this:
Code:
adb shell
$ cd /system/app
cd /system/app
rm amazonmp3.apk
rm failed for amazonmp3.apk, Read-only file system

Not really sure cause I've never used that method of rooting. Try using the regaw version found in the android Dev forum

shutdown script

This is the shutdown script for power off the system (reboot still doesn't work)
Place it on /system/bin/shutdown
via adb:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push shutdown /system/bin/shutdown
adb shell chmod +x /system/bin/shutdown
adb shell mount -o remount,ro /system
