I am wanting to back up SMS and images from HTC hero through adb. I want to make a shell script so I don't have to type everything out every time I want to make a backup. Is this possible? I don't know if adb can work on non-root phone.

Ok so I use handcent for the blacklist feature but when I blacklist someone the messages for that person still show up on stock. I tried Removing the stock messenger with titanium pro. That works except I can't receive any mms after I remove the stock messenger. ... someone help?

Go into the settings on Stock and turn off auto-retrieve, ignore Stock and use Handcent.
Handcent's blacklist only works for itself, to the best of my knowledge.
Ok will do.. kinda annoying I can't remove stock though...

If you have Root Explorer app, you can go into /system/app and remove Mms.apk and it will get rid of your stock messenger and still allow Handcent to work. That's what I do everytime I flash a new rom. Works great!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Or you can do it via adb commands if you dont want to purchase the app. Adb is very simple. Open a cmd window in your /tools/ dir
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm -r Mms.apk
now its removed. If you want to see what other apks are there, just type ls before you type the rm command.
Going to try tonight thanks guys. And just to clarify this will remove stock messenger bit still allow for mms through handcent?

ok used root explorer to delete mms.apk got rid of stock and handcent will send mms but i can not receive and mms though.. very annoying.. if i want a pic message i have to restore then at end of the day delete mms.apk again just because i use the blacklist feature... please someone help... do i need to do a mms fix ive seen around?
I do believe if you do an apn backup while you CAN receive and send mms messages, then delete mms.apk and restore apn's you will be set.
So I found a clear Facebook widget, and used root explorer to switch it out in the system/apps folder, matched permissions and rebooted.. worked fine. But now I tried to do the same exact process to the HtcMusic.apk, matched permissions, and it didn't work. Only difference is that the Facebook.apk did NOT have a Facebook.odex file. HtcMusic does. That's the question does the .odex file mess this process up. Can I delete it or replace it, or should I just leave it be? Any help or direction to a thread would be appreciated! Thanks!

What rom are you running? If it's a non sense rom you can't use htc widgets.
The odex and the apk might not have the same owner, so they can't work together. I'm using an odexed rom too, so I've had that problem whenever I try to replace an htc apk using root explorer. Try doing it with adb instead, by doing an adb push (after adb remount).
Yea im using Eris Lightning 3.02 so it is sense. I'm gunna do a nand restore to before i replaced the htcmusic.apk, cause not only does the stock music player not work now, but my keyboard keeps force closing. After that ill try to push it using adb. Thank you guys for the speedy responses!

Hey Guys, I've been trying to remove some apps that never get used. But when i tap manage applications, the Hero tries to load them but then always force closes about 5 seconds later.
Any tips on how to get around this?
I'm running firmware 2.1-update1
Thanks in advance!

I've tried to do it after restarting my phone, before I do anything else and still no luck. Has anyone else had this problem?
Try wipe dalvik. I may have gotten lucky, but it solved almost all of my force closes.
U can also remove through terminal or adb if u know the path

Well time to start reading, I have no idea what you two are talking about. Thanks for the advice though!
What apps are u trying to remove. U can go into an app manager and it will tell u the name then go into terminal and use rm command to remove. Example.
Su (enter)
rm /system/app/alarmclock.apk (enter) and it will remove it. Or download android commander on your PC and remove with that. Easier

Can I do this using an app manager such as Astro?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
If you have a rooted handset you can use titanium backup to uninstall apps. Does a fine job of backing them up too of course.
Yes u can. I have Linda file manager. Works fine with apps. And as stated above titanium backup as well (must have app anyway)

So I was messing around with my friends phone, long story short, I accidently deleted their home system app, now home button only takes me to a black screen, anyway is there a way to push install a home like ADW? I got it rooted, but no clockwork recovery:/ does that mean i can't flash a stock rom either? Thanks in advance :]

You can use ADB to push a launcher to /system/app/ then change permissions to 0644 or rw-r--r-- the stock launcher is named Launcher2 but you can push any launcher to the system as long as the name is the same then reboot and all should be fine.

Boot into fastboot then boot the openzio recovery and use ADB at this point because USB debugging is enabled

It just so happens that this website has a search function...

For WiFi, you will need a root explorer app (I use es file explorer cause its free)
Navigate to /system and open up the build.prop as text...
Look for WiFi intereval scan and edit to your liking
For deleting bloat I suggest using titanium backup, create a full system back up (that way in case you uninstall he wron app you won't have to do a total flash...) Then uninstall the bloat through titanium backup or a root explorer...system apps are located in /system/apps/
