I made the stupid mistake of trying to run the next launcher. Put it into the system app folder and changed permissions but now I constantly get a 'next launcher has stopped working' message which has made my kindle unusable. I connected my device to my PC in the hope of navigating to the system\app folder and deleting the next launcher that way. However when I connect and go into storage I cannot find the folder. I've tried showing hidden folders but I still can't find it. I know there must be a way to navigate to the system\app but I've had no luck so far. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks

Is adb recognizing the device? If so you can use adb to delete the apk. You can't navigate to the system files from pc any other way.
Here are the commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
rm -r /system/app/[AppName].apk
mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
You must know the exact name of the apk and insert in the command above where it says [AppName].
To get a list of the AppNames on the device:
Code:
cd /system/app
ls *.apk
ES File Explorer

If you do not have the Android SDK Installed:http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Then download ES File Explorer from here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/ES%20File%20Explorer_1.6.2.1.apk
If I understand you correctly, you are able to use the Kindle, correct?
Be sure you have Root Permissions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
If you can not access the Kindle directly, use onemeila method.
Perform the above download directly from your Kindle using Silk , Opera or Dolphin.
Once the download has completed, choose "Open" to install.
Complete the install of ES File Explorer, then Open ES File Explorer directly
after the install or through the Kindles /Apps/
Once ES File Explorer is open, the go to the Settings, choose Root
Settings. Check every box. Then you will be presented with a Superuser
dialog box. Be sure to click on Allow. Then go back to the main ES File
Explorer Screen. You will notice at the top, it shows where you are in
the file system. By default ES File Explorer open to /sdcard/ so
You need to click UP. This will place you at the Root / - next
Click on the System folder, next the App folder. Long press
whatever file you would like to delete and choose "Delete" or
"Move" to Move the file to another location. Just FYI you
will find that most of the programs reside in /data/apps.
I suspect Next Launcher is in the /data/apps folder.
If none of this works, PM us, we will get you back online.

In my country some sites have been banned but most of us keep using them in pc's by changing hosts file in \Windows\System32\drivers\etc
adding ip strings like
207.200.100.5 shoutcast.com
207.200.100.5 www.shoutcast.com
I just wonder if there is someway to do this in android? If the answer is yes then my new question is "how"...
Thx for the answers...

Thx. I reached the file by a file manager app. but i cant open it with notepad apps. Do I need the root privilage?
yes. Just ADB pull it.
Technically it's in /system/etc/hosts, /etc is a symlink.
If you want to edit it, create a hosts file on your SD card and then cp from terminal with root privileges. Or you could adb push it from your computer.
thx a lot for the answers. ill try it.
question
hello there,
i'm a newbie and i don't know anything about programming. and i need a step by step guide to edit the host file. i have reached the file with file manager but i can't edit or replace it.
thanks.
Should just be a matter of
adb pull /etc/hosts
Which will copy the file to the current directory, then make the necessary changes, then
adb remount
adb push hosts /etc/hosts
Anyone correct me if I'm wrong. If you don't have ADB set up, now would be a good time to do so; searching for "ADB for dummies" should help you with that.
I suggest nano if you have a ROM with this included (such as cyanogenmod). Then all you need to do is open the terminal and enter
Code:
su
nano /system/etc/hosts
In this manner, one can do the edits straight from the phone terminal.
Or download estrongs file manager, go to settings and set file system to "read write"(its in something like root settings or so). after that you can edit the file

This guy knows his hosts. I have his file on my desktop and I push it into every rom I use.
If i put in hosts like one from google for example, and some regular news sites i use, would this speed up my internet?
I've rooted my Droid and copied over a pre-populated hosts file to /system/etc that re-maps bad/ad sites to 127.0.0.1. However, when I open a terminal and ping one of the sites listed in the hosts file, it still comes back with the real IP and not 127.0.0.1.
I do believe in Linux systems, the real hosts file is in root/data/data/
>The system/etc/ hosts file is empty, aka a decoy of some sorts....?
To view it, u may need "rootexplorer.apk" (as opposed to droidexplorer.exe, a windows vista program), as I couldn't get Astro to require SU
(Need to check this out, my own system may be different?)

If it is empty, it just means there aren't any hosts in it. /etc/hosts is the correct file.

Where did you get the file from, a windows pc?
In this case you need to convert the end-of-line characters
from Dos to Unix ones. This could be done with nano editor
or with busybox's dos2unix command.
you should try to open it with the "text editor" in "ASTRO"..

That was it! I opened the hosts file in Notepad++ and converted it to UNIX format, then saved it back to my phone. Now blocked addresses are resolving to 127.0.0.1 as expected. No more ads or malware, yay!
Converting hosts file to unix format is worked for me also ,i converted hosts file with notepad++ to unix format(edit>eol conversation>unix format) then copy it in etc ,overwrite(backup ojinal host file to sdcard first with copy command) ,no need to reboot phone
can't pull
Hi
I'm trying to pull the hosts file with adb or with android commander. the adb sais there isn't a file like that and the AC give me this when I try to copy:
Items count: 1

Use any file manager like astro or root explorer. You can also use adb to push it to /system/app folder.
Goto market and download a file manager.

Ok connect your phone with usb to your computer turn on mass storage copy the apk file not the zip file to the root of your sd card.
Disconnect the phone from the computer open astro copy or move the apk file from the root of your sd card to /system/app folder and you are done.

File browser method (Rooted devices only):
Connect your phone to your computer via USB and mount the storage card for file transfer.
Copy the bootanimation.zip file that you want to install, to your SD card.
Unmount USB storage and launch the file browser of your choice on your phone.
Browse to /system/media, copy the existing bootanimation.zip file from there and paste it somewhere safe on your SD card.
Browse to the location on the SD card where you copied the new bootanimation.zip and copy it.
Browse to/system/media and paste the bootanimation.zip file there to override the default system boot animation without replacing it.
OR
Browse to /system/media and paste the bootanimation.zip file there.
If you are using Super Manager, you will have to enable its root function first from the settings. Furthermore, you may need to mount the /system partition as read-write first too upon entering it.
ADB method:
Enable USB debugging on your device in Settings > Applications > Development.
Connect your device to the computer via USB.
Launch a command prompt/terminal window on your computer.
Navigate to the location where you have the bootanimation.zip file saved.

You need to STOP with all the Jelly Time bootanimations!
I downloaded and installed the first because it was so cool.
Then you come out with a second one, had to choose, stayed with first.
Then Randomblame uses your second one in B9.1.
Now there are just to many good ones to choose from.
Really though, great work. Keep it up.

All are very good looking.
I do not know if it would be possible but, if you could create a way to have the system randomly pick one each time it booted, now that would be Awesome.
And then I would not have to choose...
I don't know if it's possible neither... you should ask a dev (I'm not)... I thing it's a little too much work...

Once again, not affiliated with this app, just found it to be working flawlessly on our poor little HTC Vivids. This is the proclaimed Android 4.3 Camera that's on the Google Play Edition phones. Originally found here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340858
How I got it to work-
1. Move Gallery2.apk out of system/app/ (I backed it up in another folder just in case)
2. Install the Googleeditioncamera.apk from your preferred mirror here
3. Take pictures!

Side notes- Some advanced options are not included in this stock app- Shutter sound cannot be disabled, and you cannot change the camera to save to external storage, the options just arent there.. So if this is important to you, think twice about installing the apk. I've been using the camera on Vibrate mode and it's been silent for me, FYI.

How did you move Gallery2.apk out of the app folder? I tried using a file management app and it just gets stuck at 50%. I've also tried straight up deleting it and that doesn't work either. I am unable to access the root phone file through USB.
Thank you.

Hello Everyone!!!
The problem i am facing is that the backups that I make with CWM they are not accessible to me in the directory structure. In recovery mode when i go to restore then there they are at /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup but when i try to access this back up through ES file explorer then there is no file inside backup folder.
Then i went one step backwards in es file explorer and there is a Storage folder and SD Card folder. As i said before inside sdcard there is nothing in clockworkmod, while when i open Storage folder there are 3 folders emulated, SDCard0 and USB.
But cannot find the backup in them as well... Can any one tell me whats going on over here? Every time i take a back up it eats up to 1.7 gb and i am not able to remove them from the phone storage.

Device/Data = nothing
Device/SDCard/Data = Nothing
Device/Storage/Emulated/0/Data = Nothing
Device/Storage/Emulated/Legacy/Data = Nothing
Device/Storage/SDCard0/Data = Nothing ....

What file explorer are you using? I recommend ES File Explorer File Manager and be sure to give it root access.
Press the icon in the top left
Click 'Tools'
Click 'Root Explorer'
give access to root when it pops up.
You should now be able to see inside your /data/ folder

Thank you very much for your help... Got to those damn files atlast... But it is strange since other apps that require root access they ask for it at their start ups but not ES File explorer.... Anyways thanks once more for your time and help... cheers....

Glad you found them :good: Apps that require root to work *at all* will request access on startup. ES doesn't ask for it because it doesn't need it to run - apps only request root access when they're trying to access root i.e. pressing Root Explorer means ES needs access to root.

Yeah that makes sense now before i was just being mad at the sorcery of android file system....
My backups were actually in MNT/Shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backups I have no idea why they were there, i had a heck of a time finding them
