I'm usually over at android forums but I recently got Fission and realized I should venture over to here. I installed Fission and I tried the google youtube app and hate it. I was wondering if anyone could guide me on installing the stock app. And because im new, I'm not sure if this is the section to post this thread.

attached is an older version of youtube, but still stock.
To have used the following method with re-installing the stock facebook apk, but I recommend that you take a nandroid backup before attempting anything
Save the .apk to your sdk\tools folder.
Open up 2 command prompt windows.
In the first do the following (with the phone connected via Charge Only mode for usb connection):
1) type: adb shell (press enter)
2) type: su (press enter)
3) type: mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
Switch to the second command prompt window
Change directory to your sdk\tools folder where you should have saved the .apk file
1) type: adb push Facebook.apk /system/app/Facebook.apk (press enter)
Switch back to the first command prompt
4) type: cd /system/app (press enter)
5) type: chmod 644 Facebook.apk
6) type: exit (press enter. you made need to do this 2x to get back to the regular command prompt.
when back at the regular command prompt
7) type: adb remount (press enter. This will remount the system partition as read-only)
8) type: adb reboot (press enter. This will reboot your phone. When it reboots, the youtube app should be reinstalled as a system application.
NOTE: i take no responsibility for any damage this may cause. I have not tested this method on a custom ROM, only on my own device when I have removed applications from the default 2.3.15 OTA.

I have a motorola droid that already been flashed too metropcs but the enternet & my picture messaging don't work any more on my motorola droid rooted 2.1 android they all was working earlier today i deleted a file in my sd memory card by accident an it reeboted my phone and took of my enternet an picture messaging settings by mistake i had too look for a wi-fi connection to sign in to use my phone again over the wifi connection but the phone still can make calls an regular text but no more mms messaging or internet any more if you can help me to put it back on send me a message on here
hey if you get info can you please help me out
I don't know any specific info related to MetroPCS, but I had a similar situation a while back. I would re-flash the stock ROM that came with your phone and start from scratch with whatever process you followed before.
I seriously doubt that the file you accidentally deleted is the source of this problem, but I would start from scratch either way.

you need to hook the phone up to your computer and make sure USB Debugging is enabled (you can find in Settings>Applications>development> and check usb debugging
then install and setup the androidSDK:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
and your ready
thank you

ok thanks im a try it now
I've rooted then unrooted with super one click but still had superuser icon so I just dropped into trash. All was good then so I decided to uninstall/delete everything associated with root including going into astro and deleting (hope this isn't the downfall) clockwork folder holding backup... Now 1st time shutting down after doing all this last night then booting up this morning I'm still getting the clockworkmod recovery green screen to reboot system now. Only thing I can see left is in phone settings>applications>mng apps>all tab> is Terminal Emulator. So of course my ? is how the hell do I get rid of this?? Someone recommended reroot then delete logwrapper.bin to logwrapper. I really don't want to SBF flash so any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Running OTA 2.2
i would sbf just to be safe man if you try deleting stuff and accidently delete something wrong it wouldnt be good and then you would have to sbf anyways so i say just sbf and start from a clean slate. besides that i got nothing!
Try the following:
UNINSTALL the Recovery APK (Droid X Bootstrapper) in Settings, Applications
Reboot
Root Phone
Run "adb shell"
Run "su"
Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"
Run "cp /system/bin/logwrapper.bin /system/bin/logwrapper"
Reboot

Yes, this will work.
Removing BOOTSTRAP COMPLETELY
If you would like to completely remove Droid X bootstrap from your phone, here is what you need to do:
1) connect your phone to ur pc in charge only mode. Make sure it is recognized by adb
A) open command prompt and type "adb devices" (hit enter, your phone should show up)
2) in the command prompt, type "adb shell" (press enter)
3) type "su" (press enter)
4) type "mount -o rw, remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system" (press enter)
5) type "cp /system/bin/logwrapper.bin /system/bin/logwrapper"(press enter)
6) type "adb reboot" (press enter)
Your phone will reboot after typing adb reboot, and may take a little bit longer to boot the first time after bootstrap is removed (it may not, I just haven't gone through this process in a while).
Bootstrap should now be completely removed.
Note: all text in quotes is just what you should type...do not include the quotation marks when entering commands.
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility if you mess up your phone. Typing these commands incorrectly CAN mess up your phone. By following these directions, you do so at your own risk.
What can i use to do this? I dled terminal emulator but i cant get it root access for some reason, also tried sshdroid but i dont know how to connect to it from my mac....any help?
Nope, im not getting anything...i granted terminal emulator super user permissions and i tried it through sshdroid, but when i type mount -o .... all i get is the mount usage script...
I don't think he meant for you to use terminal emulator on your phone. Try using command prompt on a PC or terminal on a Mac.

Welp...I tried this...guess what...stuck in a boot loop. Any suggestions?
I have the r2d2 droid 2. I suppose I'll have to SBF it...I'm looking for the file now (if it's even available.)

Hi I have been trying all evening to remove com.wsandroid.apk from my phone, using terminal but I simply cannot. I've tried many different commands and I'm just being told either permission denied, directory not found/not empty. I have a Wildfire which is obviously rooted. Please help me out, tearing my hair out here.
So you're using modaco custom rom?
Download the latest version of HTC Sync and install. This will also install the adb drivers. (I presume you use windows, if not, I apologise)
Download the Android SDK
Put the phone in fastboot mode (Power+Volume down) and plug it into your computer.
When the drivers are installed, use the command prompt to navigate to the tools folder within the android sdk folder.
Type the following commands, pressing enter at the end of each line:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock03 /system
cd app
rm -r com.wsandroid.apk
That should do it
I'm using the stock ROM but it is rooted with Unrevoked. I'll try these instructions anyway.
- Connect your phone to the PC
- Clear WaveScure's cache on the phone
- Open a command prompt
- go to run go to C:\androidSDK\tools and then run these 2 commands
1. adb remount
2. adb shell rm /system/app/*wsandroid*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm trying these settings, but when I get to adb remount, I get this error: remount failed: Operation not permitted
EDIT: I put the phone into recovery mode and mounted it and it said remount succeeded, I then followed step 2. both *wsandroid* and com.wsandroid.apk and it says that they cannot be found.
EDIT: Nevermind, deleted it
There's currently no write access to system partition using Unrevoked on Wildfire. So you can't remove it. You flashed it with update.zip? I'm not an expert (yet) but I assume the only way (or easiest way) to remove it is to flash your stock ROM again.
I have a rooted deodexed phone and I keep getting the notification to update to 2.3.340 which I don't want to do. My phone runs flawlessly as it is and I don't want to change it. How do I stop the notification from asking me every hour if I want to update now or later?
Thanks
I take it there is no choice except do the update or be nagged by the phone every hour saying an update needs to be installed. If the update fails will it ask to update again? If not could I just force a failure to stop it from nagging me?
I just used root explorer to delete the update from /cache and I have/n't had any issues. I'm still on2.3.15
If you don't have ro ot explorer, you could try this:
1) connect your x to your computer so it is recognized by adb
2) type adb shell (press enter)
3) type su (press enter)
4) type cd /cache (press enter),. It may be \cache, i can't remember which is correct off the to of my head.
5) type ls (press enter)
6) look for two files that will have 2.3.40 in their name.
7) type rm "the full filename" (press enter)
8) repeat step 7 for the 2nd file.
Make sure to take a backup of your phone using clockwork before attempting this.
Hope this helps!

I used this method to try and unroot my mytouch 4g: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863899 (it's the most popular way to unroot as some say)
1. Copy PD15IMG.zip and "part7backup-whatevernuberitscalled.bin" to the root of your sdcard
2. Connect your phone to your computer and navigate to your sdk folder then type adb push gfree /data/local
3. Open up terminal emulator or adb shell and type "su" press enter to get root privileges.
4. Type "cd /data/local" and hit enter
5. Type "chmod 777 gfree" and hit enter to make the program executable.
6. Now type "./gfree -f" press enter to run gfree again. It will disable wp on the emmc and remove the brq filter in the kernel. (as well as make another backup. delete this)
I'm stuck on step 6. I typed ./gfree -f but as it runs on my terminal emulator, it ends up saying modile failed to load: No such file or directory.
Can someone please help?
Btw all the other methods consists of two files that needs to be downloaded, however those links leads to a FBI Anti-Piracy warning.
