My text messaging isnt working anymore why is this the rom is super fast for me i love it but i cant get text messages any one having same prob? or know of a solution?
im on this rom and dont have this problem...try pushing a Mms.apk from another hero build
how do you do that?
Code:
adb remount
adb push [directory on your computer that contains the Mms.apk]/Mms.apk /system/sd/app_s/Mms.apk
adb shell reboot
someone correct me if that is the wrong location
since i am going to assume you do not have adb though
go into the recovery terminal and type
Code:
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd/app_s
cd system/sd/app_s
rm Mms.apk
reboot
then have the Mms.apk from another build on your sdcard(fat32) and install it via astro or some other package installer
again someone correct me if that is the wrong location because i am not on a hero build right now or i would confirm the directories myself
Im pretty sure u cant install system apps with astro. Either try the super user file browser from the market, terminal, or adb

i have installed AlarmClock.apk and the modified Mms.apk by rgv151 with astro after deleting the original one with astro, but then again maybe i am special lol
There is many of you that asks how to remove this and that preinstallaed apps in different ROM
When a developer put apps in system/app it can not be removed so easy.
But if you have RomManager or fakeflash´s update.zip there is a other way.
I have attached a zip fil that contains a ordinare ROM installation script that only contains delete and copy.
Download file and unzip on your computer and take a look in the folders
data/app
META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
system/app
If your only wish is to remove a systemapp
edit the file update-script (textfile)
and add line with the filename of what you want to remove:
(example)
delete SYSTEM:app/unwanted.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/unwanted.odex
If you want to install some apps put them in system/app for not installable
and data/app for apps that can be removed as usual
rezip folders and install zip with RomManager NO WIPE!!
cm6 azures you will get a error because not same structure for data/app
never mind just select reboot. Delete will work anyway.
Sometimes there will be .so files in system/libs too. They are little more difficult to know which to remove so that demands more knowledge of the app.
Use for instance Astro filemanager or Estrong to look in system/app for correct filename to delete
Script work even if *.odex not exist.
The fact that when you zip folders it will not be signed so file will not work with adb recovery
Googleapps filenames:
CarHomeGoogle.apk, CarHomeLauncher.apk, com.amazon.mp3.apk,
Facebook.apk, GenieWidget.apk, Gmail.apk, GoogleBackupTransport.apk,
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk,
GoogleFeedback.apk, GoogleGoggles.apk, GooglePartnerSetup.apk, GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk, googlevoice.apk,
HtcCopyright.apk, HtcEmailPolicy.apk, HtcSettings.apk, kickback.apk, LatinImeGoogle.apk, LatinImeTutorial.apk, Maps.apk, MarketUpdater.apk, MediaUploader.apk, NetworkLocation.apk, OneTimeInitializer.apk, PassionQuickOffice.apk, SetupWizard.apk, soundback.apk, Street.apk, Talk.apk, talkback.apk, Twitter.apk, Vending.apk, VoiceSearch.apk, YouTube.apk, QuickSearchBox.apk, Provision.apk
Other apps:
ADWLauncher.apk, Gallery3D.apk
but filename may be different depending of ROM
Mainpart must exist for using phone normally
Hope that this help to remove "non-removable" systemapps in future.

It may be worth explaining how people:
- can find out the name of the app they want to remove;
- how they know whether to add the suffix of *.apk or *.odex, or both;
Thanks again for your efforts!

Yes you can use some regular filemanager such Astro or Estrongs and look in system/app
Always delete both, script work even if odex file is missing

cool guide!
anyway you have to detect the filename of the apps this way:
enter the recovery mode (in modaco-root-r4: recovery-windows.bat)
now type:
adb shell
mount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
ls -l /system/app
(this will give you the list of system apps, with space usage)
you have to delete both .apk and .odex files (the latter may not exist)
I use to delete the bigger ringtones too, the list is given by
ls -l /system/media/audio/ringtones
it is safe to delete, after you setup the google accounts (ie after first boot):
HTCSetup*
com.htc.Setup*
Stock*
HtcFoot*
NewsRead*
wow its working......thanks dude........

Simple guide from MoDaCo
That must be the hardest way to remove apps i guess Have you seen "modaco guide"? All you have to do is reboot your phone in to recovery mode and type 2-3 commands in ADB. Simple as that.
Thanks anyway for your efforts
Many way för same thing
But with a custom-made zipfile you always remove/install favourite apps without adb. And quick modify new ROM install.

Hmm, did you forget a slash or a letter in the command? because I tried and I could actually delete it.
@kdma : install ROM Manager from the Market, and there is an option inside the app : Reboot into Recovery (easiest way to get into recovery mod)
I also deleted /system/etc/clock* and saved some space again
(of course I don't need Htc clock widgets)

cryshop, i was typing in the wrong directory
Ps - snakehults's appfixer is real delight ! smooooth.
except that my winzip is a trial version and legend dont recognize winrar files.
I was wondering how i got such good figures for change in space and ram the first time. i havent since then. my legend just likes the rebooting involved coz i dont use task killers anymore. and maybe i deleted more than just stock the first time
Will this work with android 2.2 on Hero?
Hey I've been looking all over for something like this. I downloaded the zip, added the lines
delete SYSTEM:app/mms.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/mms.odex
delete SYSTEM:app/email.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/email.odex
and rezipped it.
I used Rom Manager and selected install rom from SD card. It rebooted, seemed to execute the zip. But the original email and mms apps are still installed. What am i doing wrong?

The first thing you should do is download the required zip file from modaco (I'm a new user of xda and is not permitted to post outside links here. You may easily find that post "24/May r4 - HTC Legend rooting guide - Now with 1.31.x" in android.madaco.com)
I think many of us rooted the device followed the instructions of Paul. So that file might be already in your hands.
Fastboot and then recovery, as you have done before. Run Recovery-linux.sh (or Recovery-windows.bat, if you use Windows) in a terminal window - your device shall be at the green recovery screen.
Open another terminal window and enter:
./adb-linux shell mount /system
and then you can push, pull or rm file. For example,
./adb-linux shell rm /system/app/Calculator.apk
./adb-linux push abc.so /system/lib

you'll need to put it in system/apps using root explorer or terminal or adb or anything that acts as a file explorer with root access

any guide how to do it sir after i put it using the root explorer? do i need to install it after i put on the app folder?
You don't need to push it to /system, it would make a lot more sense to install it like a normal app (adb install, or copy to sd card > grab a file manager like astro > locate apk > choose package manager).
After that you need to go to Settings > Keyboard something or other... > Enable HTC IME.

You can't install system apps as user apps, at least it has never worked for me. You always have to adb push them to /system/app.
Here's a mini guide for the OP:
Download your htc ime apk file, or grab it from wherever you are getting it from.
Let's say the file is in your download folder. Open terminal emulator and type mount -o rw,remount /system and hit enter. Then type cp /mnt/sdcard/download/htcimeapkname.apk /system/app and hit enter.
You MIGHT have to reboot, then you have to enable it in your keyboard settings.
Also if you want to make it easier you could probably just go to terminal and type mount -o rw,remount /system and then use a file manager like astro to move/copy the apk to /system/app.

I recently installed aospGBMod and would like to install Quickoffice. I know that I have to push the apk file into the system/app folder, but I'm not sure how to do so. Can this be done using the terminal emulator and if so what are the commands? Thanks for your help!
You could use one of the following methods:
1. Once connected via USB and having your USB debugging on: adb install <path_to_apk>
2. Move the apk file to the SDcard (doesn't matter where), enable "Install from unknown source" under manage applications and then use a file manager to access the apk, it should ask you to install it... go ahead and install
3. Execute following commands:
adb remount
adb push <location/apk file> /system/apps/
adb remount
adb restart
Hope this helps.
It didn't work. The apk file that I was using was from a sense rom. I wonder if that makes a difference. Is there a way that I could copy the apk file from CM6.1 and push it into the system/app folder? Has anybody else gotten this to work?

Hi,
just installed GALACTUSMOD 4.2 XXLT5, i wanted to push/move stock FMRADIO.APK and EMAIL.APK. I already installed Root Explorer to be able to push .apk. but i have one problem. /system has RW option, /system/app no RW option. i tried the other way of pushing using terminal yet still cant locate it. does anyone can fix this? or does anyone can make a tutorial to enable the RW option for /system/app so i could able to move apk's I wanted to have on my phone.
You can't locate what? Check in /preload/symlink/system/app folder. I still don't get what you are trying to achieve. Push apk to phone from pc or?

Hi sir,
Im trying to push Email.apk and FM.apk to GalactusMOD ROM, I'm using root explorer I can locate /preload/symlink/sysmtem/app and system/app but the prob is, there is no R/W option. I cant push or move those APKs. Hope you can help me. thank you
Not sure of the method you are using, but try this.
1. enable USB debugging. Connect phone to PC and open terminal / cmd.
2. run command adb devices to make sure the device is listed.
3. adb root.
4. adb remount
5. adb push Email.apk /system/app
then manually change the permission of the app using root explorer or use chmod command.

Hello sir,
I've read again all the details of GALACTUSMOD, it says
"My ROM no longer uses System/app! this has all been symlinked to Preload.
so any MODS/THEMES Etc need to be Preload ONLY!!!"
i guess im not gonna able to push or either move apk to system/app
You still can.
