How do you delete a stale NFS file

Wallpaper set and save, I tried the rm command it wont work for a stale file is there any way to do this.

unless you really mounted a network drive, there's no way you can get a "stale NFS file", so the file system is corrupted.

So I have wallpaper set and save as being stale, does that mean more files will become like this, and that my ext2 partition is bound to fail, cause I can live without that wallpaper program, as long as the rest of my stuff is stable. Does this mean more files will eventually become corrupt.

Not necessarily. nfs stale file handle just means that nfs cannot resolve the nfs file handle that ext2 encoded for it. there could be many reason for it. lots of time, remount would fix the problem.

How would I do this remount process exactly? And would I be risking anything?

What exactly are you doing. Where are you getting this error?

I'm trying to install the program wallpaper set and save but the phone won't let me cause its a stale nfs file on my memory card ext2 partition, and I wanted to know if there is any way to fix that

Rebooting the phone does not solve it? If not then u might have an issue with your sdcard.

No reboot didn't help, this is the only app that does this so I don't think its the sdcard. I think it was a bad installation, and now its stuck somehow, oh well hopefully someone might find a resolution for this.

I was wondering would it be possible to move my apps back to the phone, and then delete the wallpaper set and save from a program like linda file manager then put them back on the sd card.

do you have adb setup?
just do "adb shell ls /data/app/" and see if that wallpaper app is there... if it is try to remove it "adb shell rm /data/app/<name.apk>

nope that didnt work, will it be possible to move them back to the phone, I used recovery mode to put them on my sdcard, and Im on RC33mod, can I do the undo copy.sh app or do I have to use recovery again.

I dont know about the copy.sh script, but u can do it by removing the symlink in /data/app
And then copy the app dir from sd back to /data

Sorry Im not to savy with all this, How would I go about doing that.

so there is no other way of me getting rid of wallpaper set save stale nfs, and reinstalling it, cause I cant get it on my phone. thats the only program and I like using to set my wallpapers is there another way.

you could always mount it in linux and run fdisk. delete that partition and remake it. that is what I had to do to clean up my /system/sd directory from stale NFS handles. If you need more help with this let me know.

Application Recovery on SD

Hey guys & girls,
I'm in sort of a bind. I've traded phones with my friend since he had the sleek new White G1 and he preferred the Black. So we traded and his phone was unrooted and untouched. I put on the new JF & such and previously, on the Black G1, I had the applications on the SD card.
I went through the process and before whenever I updated, I simply did the command "
$su
#lucid app sd"
and my applications would be restored. I did that this time and nothing seems to recover these apps. Is there any way that anyone is aware of to restore these apps on my EXT2 extension of my SD card? I've tried everything, but I'm sure there must be something that I'm overlooking. Any help would be greatly beneficial and would definitely love you forever. This may sound like a small prize, but I assure you this is no small reward. Haha, anyways please help me out in any way possible even if you have to be the person to tell me that it is irrevocable and my mistake somewhere along the road ****ed me over.
Thanks alot XDA & The Helping Crew,
DaDemon

So just to make sure we're on the same page, you're running JF1.51 and using the same SD card? Also what does it say after you type in those commands?

#luicid app sd
Nothing was done. /system/sd/app is FOLDER.
Please rm -r /system/sd/app first.
Nothing was done. /system/sd/app-private is FOLDER.
Please rm -r /system/sd/app-private first.
I also have tried to restablish the link between the two,
it all seems to work as it should for the link but the applications don't come back after a restart. Any ideas?

Deleting Bloatware ERROR!!

Im new to forum but Ive been trolling for the past couple days. I currently rooted my Vibrant with One Click GalaxyRooter. Then purchased Root Explorer to view the hidden files and folders that I need to get to in order to remove some of the stock .apk and odex files.
Im currently in the /system/app directory and the first thing that I want to remove is that avatar icon and files. I long press the file in root explorer to delete it and it allows me to. Only problem is that when I go back or refresh the directory everything is still there even when I reboot my phone.
Any suggestion.

When using Root Explorer, on the top part of the screen, press [Mount R/O] and try again. I think that might solve the issue. Post up the results!

Why didn't you just uninstall the files via titanium backup?

I tried deleting a file still was there when I came back into the directory

How do I access the file directory in Titanium Backup

You don't access the file directory. Titanium Backup will show you a list of ALL apps installed. You simply click and press uninstall. Simple, no fuss. You can even make a backup before you uninstall it in case you need it later. Done.

Use Titanium Backup like everyone said, I also had the same problem with other Root Explorers. Also be sure to delete the .zip file because it might cause problems later. Also do you know what trolling means? I think you meant lurking, because trolling implies you've been trying to get people angry.

I didn't even notice he said he had been trolling LOL. Get back troll! My brain automatically assumed lurking.

Your system is set to read only.
Follow the instructions found in this post (forgive me i'm too new to post links, and i want to give credit to the solution):
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8643744&postcount=6
Code:
$ mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
Run the command from terminal, and you should then be able to delete the files that you want.

[Q] Whatsapp media

Hey, is there a way to make whatsapp save media to sdcard instead of internal storage?

Whatsapp does not support external SD card for storage.

If your phone is rooted, you can make a link from the normal whatsapp folder to the sdcard
make a whatsapp folder on your sdcard, move all of your content and delete the old one and then in console or adb as root type :
ln -s /storage/ExtSdCard/whatsapp /storage/sdcard0/whatsapp
reboot your phone and that should do it.

I'm not that good with android and entering codes, how can I run the command using the phone?
I tried using folder mount but all it did was move the files and after that I couldn't open new media that came to me.
thanks a lot

If you want to enter the command in the phone directly you'll need to download a terminal emulator from the play store and enter the same commands on the phone, while on the fodler where the original whatsapp folder was located at.

Are you sure this will work? Linux doesn't normally allow cross-device symlinks. Does android behave differently in this regard?

soft links work on linux, it's hard links that are restricted, and even then, since the whole storage procedure is now emulated in android, it shouldn't be a problem
however, you just made me think of something, he'll need to re enable 3rd party write access to the sd card or he'll just keep getting I/O errors, that's disabled on KK by default, i used "NextApp SDFix" from the play store to do it on mine.

Thinking of selling HTC Desire 816

hi all, i am Thinking to sale Htc desire 816 from yesterday because i am tired of its low internal storage.. actually i m a heavy gamer and before buying i thought i would be able to move game data to external sd card and also to delete system apps and bloatwares so i unlocked my bootloader and rooted and then i have tried every method and software available on earth to do what i stated but failed..... i cant delete system apps at any cost ... also cant move game data........ i have tried many apps like Gltosd or root file explorer or a very popular one named Sdfix but all failed......i also tried moving wp.ko module to system/ libs/ modules but that didnt helped as well .. now i think i should have gone for a phone having at least 16gb built-in memory... what you guyzz say? any suggestions

I am using gl to sd app works fine for me maybe u haven't properly flashed the sd fix
Sent from my HTC D816w using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

i think ur sytem is protected try to disable it by using "wp_mod.ko" ...

Use wp mod.ko...I'm currently using it.....
Backup your cell before doing this
Do step by step very carefully....Or else, you'll have to flash the backup
Then try root uninstaller app

i already have done wp.ko method ... no profit.... it doesnt work... when i uninstall system app and reboot it come back again.... sdfix and root uninstaller is not working also........

after activating wp_mod.ko with insmod-command you have to do another command in terminal as su :
mount -o remount,rw /system
now the wp_mod.ko takes effect und you can edit /system (carefully)
after rebooting the device /system is writeprotected again and you have to renew the command

Do below steps for a permanent system write access
Do step by step very carefully. After this, install root uninstaller(Search Google play). If installed, uninstall & reinstall after this.
1 install TWRP
2 Boot into twrp
3. Select the "Mount" option on the main menu and tick system
4. Go back to the main menu and then go into the "Advanced" option. There will be a "File Manager" option
5. Navigate to the folder you saved the .ko file in and copy it (just touch the file and it will bring up the menu)
6. now navigate to /system/lib/modules and copy the file there by hitting the "select" button on the bottom right.
7. Navigate to /system/lib/modules and insure the file is there. Now touch it to bring up the menu. select "Chmod" option and enter in 644
8. reboot the device
9. Once booted fully open up Terminal emulator and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
10. Once that's done open up a file manager app with root access and mount as r/w and navigate to /system/etc and look for the file install-recovery.sh*
11. edit the file using a text editor, adding the line insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko towards the bottom of the file
12. reboot and enjoy r/w on boot without running the command every time.
