Now have "Home" after adding Compcache ? about it

With the abilty to switch between touch flow and home now, would it be possible to change the launcher icon for the app drawer? IE the look to make it look like Oreo instead of a modified Hero tab? Thanks!!!

Yes, just find a theme with the app draw you want. Extract the Launcher.apk from the zip and adb push it to where it is in your current build.
adb push Launcher.apk /data/app_s
or paste it in the root of your sdcard and type in terminal:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm -r /data/app_s/Launcher.apk
rm -r /data/app_s/Launcher.odex
cp /sdcard/Launcher.apk /data/app_s/

im about to leave right now, but when i get back i can write it up .. i usually delete VoiceDialer/VoiceSearch and Amazon everytime I flash a new ROM

IIRC, miketaylor00 posted up a script a while back to automatically remove a couple apps. I sent him a message with a link to this thread, but it looks like the board's Dominicano can help.

this would remove the apps:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm VoiceDialer.apk
rm Music.apk
rm com.amazon*.apk
rm IM.apk
rm Mail.apk
rm Talk.apk
Just remove the .txt extension from the attachment

What's the difference between "rm" and "rm -r"?

the -r switch will make it recursive, but since we're not doing it to directory, we don't need it ... i was gunna add some more to the script to remove the data/data/ directories for each of those apps up there, but i gotta look to see what they are first

thankx this is great i knew i wasent the only1 tired of doing that...

rm -r com.android.music
rm -r com.amazon.mp3
rm -r com.android.im
rm -r com.htc.android.mail
rm -r com.google.android.talk

yup just gotta be careful with removing an app that could be dependent on another app

Is there anything stopping me from combining both into one shell script? I was going to make a script to do this myself because I am so sick of that damn teeter app! I will never play it and almost every ROM has it included.

go ahead and combine them .. it should still work as long as you dont interleave the 2
also, the 2nd script doesnt need that mount command since we are messing with /data/ instead of /system/

I hand-typed the commands in console and received this error:
"mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system failed: Invalid Argument
Any ideas?

a noob question... how do you run a script? and what do you mean by removing .txt extension...
thank you!!!

Save his file to your SD card, and rename it to RemoveApp.sh instead of RemoveApp.sh.txt. To run it, you can go into Terminal Emulator and type "sh /sdcard/RemoveApp.sh", substituting the correct file path where you have saved the script.

[GUIDE] How to Remove Pre-Installed Apps for FREE

First, you need to install the drivers:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/d...R&prd_mdl_name=SPH-D700&prd_ia_sub_class_cd=P
Then you must be rooted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775110
Next, get the most current SDK:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Extract the zip and put it where it's easiest for you to get to on Command Prompt. I put it in my C:\ for extremely easy access.
Now, open up Command Prompt and put in these commands in order
1.
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
2.
Code:
adb devices
3.
Code:
adb shell
4.
Code:
su
5.
Code:
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
6.
Code:
cd /system/app
7.
Code:
ls
Now you should see a list of all the pre-installed Apps on your device. To remove these apps you must use this command:​
Code:
rm "app_name.apk" or rm "odex_name.odex"
Here is a list of all the pre-installed apps on the stock Epic ROM and an explaination for most of them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773142

Here is my suggested list to use:​
Code:
rm amazonmp3.apk[LEFT]rm Asphalt5_DEMO_ANMP_Samsung_D700_Sprint_ML.apk[/LEFT]
rm MediaHub.apk
rm nascar09-prod-release.apk

Titanium backup is easier and less time consuming then messing with ADB and is free.

Eh, not really. ADB is much more resourceful and has alot more uses and options if you learn how to use it. This is only one of it's uses. Titanium Backup is just a waste of space IMO. It is very limited on the free version.

Or you can use SDX App Removal if your interested in only removing the preinstalled apps (must be rooted).

At the expense of sounding like a noob, which I guess I am when it comes to Android, I'm getting a real-only error. I rooted with noobnl and Titanium Backup tells me I'm rooted. What might I be doing wrong?

Try using this as the mount command:
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
Or better yet use one of the GUI options unless you are familiar with linux and save the headache. If all you want to do is remove apps there are far easier methods that are less time consuming. Titanium backup and SDX removal tool are both free.

Hmmm see I got that error too when I first did it, but then I did it again and it worked perfect lol...

Mine is Wildfire, I have some issues:
Can not do this:
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
or
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
But actual there exists a directory /system/app, in which I can see all the .apk and .odex files. When I tried to delete a file, it says that 'rm failed for File-Name, read-only file system'
What should I do? thanks

Now I can mount, to over come the read-only problem, however whenever I delete a file, it says that: rm failed for filename.apk, Directory not empty
You guys have any advice? thanks

I tried to reboot in HBOOT/Recovery/ Partition Menu, then mount /system. Then I could remove apps in adb shell successfully. can anyone confirm that doing like this is ok?

If it works then it should be fine

This is confirmed to still work with the DI07 update

My noob question is I am using titanium backup to remove the sprint bloatware like media hub and it looks like the program removes it but when I exit titanium it is still on the phone.

Titanium backup is the mark of the noob in my opinion.

thanks, i had been searching around for the adb commands to mount the system r/w so i could remove the bloat.

SDX Stock App Removal is tops in my opinion.
Quick, simple, and allows for back-ups.
And I also don't think Titanium is the "Mark of the noob". It would be more like the "Mark of the ADB is unnecessary for stock application removal"
Also I don't think this should be in development. And if you know ABD commands you should know that.

This thread is okay....but sdx..and root uninstaller are awsome. Thanks for this guide though my friend very useful info for those that want to experiment with adb....

More options is a good thing. This is also helpful for the noobs who want to get their feet wet with unix/linux shell commands.

We don't have /system rw access. Your best bet is to make a flashable zip for it

That solved the problem, but according to the topic, it dont work on a sense rom On my Pulse i have used Bluekeyboard Jp but on wildfire it isnt working too

I think you can write to /system if you first do
Code:
adb reboot recovery[code]
then remount,rw ect....

Ok, with openfire it is working, Bluekeyboard Jp which on sense rom didnt, here it is also working. What is missing from the sense rom?

[HOW TO][S-OFF]Remove system apps while booted

!! FOR S-OFF USERS ONLY !!
You can use your computer or use terminal emulator.
If your using a computer u first need to run adb shell
Code:
# su
# cd /system/app
# mount -o rw, remount /system
# ls (to view the installed aps)
# rm -r AppThatNeedsToBeRemoved.apk
# rm -r AppThatNeedsToBeRemoved.odex (for odexed ROM's only)
It's a small guide but I hope it can be helpfull to some of you
EDIT: you can also use file managers with root acces like: root Explorer (€3) or Super Manager (free) and really nice BTW

You can also use root explorer now if I'm not mistaken.

Correct.

Or Super manager if you want the free alternative. But it was more about the coding
