Need some help with deleting stock apps from CM 6.1 using root explorer/terminal emul

Tried to use root explorer, but after reboot the file appeared again in system apps..
Tried to use terminal emulator that comes with CM 6.1, but got error message "cannot remove , because the folder is not empty" - something like that...
The apps I want to remove are: Maps, Navigation,E-mail,Voice Search,Talk and some others....
By the way, what I shouldn't delete? I mean the apps that can make problems with the system....
Appreciate any suggestions.

Most of those are Google apps so I wouldn't remove them in case you start getting non stop force close errors. If you wanted to remove the files, you would need to have AUFS. Search for it.

hey man,
listen maybe you know what can be a problem with bluetooth in cm 6.1.
can't to connect to pc to send and receive files....
Also can't send files via bt to other phones....
Using windows 7 32 bit.
?
Maybe there is some radio update I should flash?

I'm not really sure but are you using a bluetooth file transfer app?
I only use bluetooth on rare occasions to transfer apps to my Archos...

If U can't remove the apps from /system/app then you probably do not have S-OFF - what does recovery screen say? ..
I have the same issue here on my Legend since it is running hboot 1.01.. darn!
But anyway, you can use android kitchen to mod a ROM .. works nice Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246

Why don't you use an easier method of getting rid of unwanted applications? You can use Titanium Backup, it has a nice exploit discovered by Paul O'Brien from Modaco (more details about it HERE, but if you have CM 6.1 already you are rooted and need only Titanium Back that is already included in CM 6.1 ROM as far as I remember). You just have to go to the apps list, long press on it and from the popup select last option to remove the application.
For BT transfers, look in the Market after an application called Bluetooth File Transfer.

[Q] Missing Notification Bar

Hey all. I have a Droid X that has been running with Launcher Pro Plus for the past few months.
I rooted my phone the other day and everything was going fine. I downloaded Titanium Backup, ShootMe, and then Metamorph.
I've been checking out droidpirate.com and downloaded a few different notification bar color schemes, which were working fine. Today I downloaded another and decided I wanted to change it, so I switched to a new one through Metamorph, applied it, and rebooted my phone. Upon restart it was still the same color as before, so I applied again and before I could restart it gave me an error message that the status/notification bar (not sure which it said at the time) had crashed.
I restarted it, and ever since then I've had no notification bar. I've tried reapplying the color schemes in Metamorph and restarting after, but nothing has changed.
I've gone to the Launcher Pro settings and toggled on and off the "hide notification bar" setting which hasn't changed anything. I've restored my backup in Titanium Backup and it is still the same. I'm not sure what else to do at this point.
What do you all suggest? It really sucks to not see my battery meter, time, etc. when I open my phone. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I don't know if this is best practice, but I would just re-sbf / reinstall rom.

Does that mean flashing the Droid X rom? I am new to all of this, so I'm sorry if these are stupid questions. And what guide would you recommend for going about doing this? Thanks!

Download RSD Lite and flash an SBF. There's a sticky telling you how to do this I'll subscribe to this thread in case you have any questions.

Great, thanks for the info! I'll give this a try tomorrow.

Wait!
Before you do that...
(Which is good advice, and would be my second choice...but you'll be without all of your applications and settings. This will put you on complete stock!)
http://www.chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/4.5.602/
Download the file that this theme was changing.
(system/framework/framework-res.apk I think?)
Download "Root Explorer" from the market...or a free alternative if you can get one to work.
I think "ES file explorer" works, but I've never tried it.
Check the "permissions" on the file you'll be replacing...and change the new file to have the same permissions (prior to moving, just to be safe).
Move and replace the new file into place.
If your phone didn't reboot during that process...
Double check the permissions again...
And reboot.

I knew it was only a matter of time, and that's a good resolve. Thanks for the alternative!

I'm not seeing that file on the website you mentioned. If I ctrl+f framework, all I see is a GoogleServicesFramework.apk file. Would it perhaps be the StatusWidget.apk from that list that I am looking for?

Status widget doesn't sound right, but I have never had to recover my notifications bar before.

http://www.mydroidworld.com/topic/8240-official-gingerbread-update-45602-rooted-and-ready-or-stock/
Sorry man, at work...and can't check...but this should have it.
Or if you've purchased Rom Toolbox or Rom Manager...they have some .zips you can download via your phone and extract with your PC.

Ahh this is all confusing me. I can't find the framework-res.apk on that site either. Would it work to just hard reset my phone then download an app restore app? Then re-root it and restore everything to how it used to be with Titanium?

The framework-res.apk was an attempt to fix your phone without wiping your apps and all that fun stuff. A hard reset wouldn't fix the problem because the file, in theory, is still corrupted or not working. I would sbf your phone. It looks creepy but it's just resetting back to stock.

Go down to SBF: What is it, and what does it do?!?
If the files are offline because of the SOPAA thing, let me know.

Alright, looks like that's what I'm gonna try. Thanks to both of you for all the help, it is greatly appreciated . Before I go through with it I was just wondering, if I backup all my apps to my SD card with "App Backup and Restore" then reinstall the app after the backup, I'm guessing it should be able to reinstall my apps from the SD afterwards? (I wouldn't use Titanium to restore because I'm assuming that would restore my phone with the flawed system data I have now)

The apps themselves wont be flawed. The phone runs off a whole bunch of apk's. Just the apk that controls the notification bar was messed up. You should be fine with backing up your apps regardless of method. Use what program you're comfortable with.

Agreed...
But to reiterate...
Titanium won't bork you in any way.
Simply use the option>batch>restore USER apps option and you'll be %100 back to where you were...aside from having to change your settings back to where you had them...
Also...
Facebook and any "Overclocking" applications seem to behave badly when restored.
Not in a negative way...
But I always uninstall them after a restore and install manually through the market...
Facebook won't receive push notifications if you don't.
And Overclock apps simply may not work.
Everything else (game data...whatever) will be exactly as you had it.
Check my sig if you need...
And use the sections about backing up and restoring your data.
Ignore the actual rom flashing part...as it's irrelevant in your situation.
There is also another SBF link in there if the one Fluffy posted is dead.

So I downloaded the latest RSD lite with no problems, but whenever I try to download the "Droid X 4.5.602 SBF Gingerbread 2.3.3" file, it leads me to http://www.multiupload.com/57SX6Q5HJI which lists the file as 602.sbf.zip but downloads as a program called "iLivid", which is a video downloading program.
Any suggestions?

Different Mirror?

Figures, thanks a bunch. I tried the download links from two different forums and both led to that same program download, but it looks like I've got the right one downloading now. Thanks again for all the help, I'm going to try the whole restoration process this weekend when I have more time. I'll let you know how it goes.

[Q] Any way to root VM Intercept? Please help I've tried everything!

Hey people,
I've been trying for a while now to root my sister's Intercept (virgin mobile). I've looked all over the place and no method seems to work. Does anyone know of a way to do it?
I've tried:
z4root apk (said phone is rooted but su wasn't installed and all other apps said it wasn't, including root checkers)
intercept root apk (same as above)
SuperOneClick (latest version) (stopped in the middle and never completed, always fails)
Gingerbreak apk (just reboots the phone and doesn't do anything)
Any ideas? Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

The intercept root apk worked like cake for me. I would try doing a factory reset then using that apk first thing after rebooting. It doesn't work with FB01 (Sprint) Intercepts after a February 29, 2012 update, but it should still work with EC07 (VM).
This is the one I used: http://intercept-root.googlecode.com/files/InterceptRootV1-35.apk
Once you've used the app once and reboot your phone, open it again and if it worked you should see options to either unroot or install CM01 custom recovery (recommended if you want to flash roms onto it).
Good luck!

Gonna try it out when I get a chance. Thanks!

The z4root dont work on the intercept anymore. and the inerceptroot.apk on my phone would say that it was failed or what not and i would use root apps and they would still work (even without superuser)

I have been using a optimus v but I have an intercept that's rooted with super one click. Its a brand new phone just opened it and runs like crap slow and just tards out. Rooted it to try and fix it still a no go. Any clues

I have the sprint version, interceptroot.apk worked until the latest FB01 update, after that I had to us samsung SWupdater to load customer recovey

Intercept root apk should work with the VM intercept. I recently tried that method on mine, but I had to do it a couple of times before it actually rooted it.

Id just start from scratch and find a stock rom to flash. I used to have a VM intercept for a painful 2 years. Sometimes you just need to start over with a fresh rom.

Its still stock rom never fa
lashed anything on the phone. Its actually started working like a normal intercept. Had it off for about 2 weeks then turned it on recently and works alot better. I'm pretty much using the phone as a play toy seeing what I can change and explore all the files to get a better idea about android. Maybe I can find a way to make the intercept a good phone.e( highly unlikely, since it is an intercept)

Intercept root
i have an intercept from VM and it was easily rooted with interceptroot.apk Google it, a safe copy will be found on sdx-developers website.
this should get you started, make sure you download the file with your phone, click the home button. Next, click the settings button on your phone, go to applications and then in the following menu, go to development and turn on usb debugging and use the back icon, next allow unknown sources in the menu you are now into again, and click the home button yet again.
Make sure you have some sort of file browser, I personally prefer the app "file expert" but others have their own preferences. (you can use any file tools, like: es file explorer(free), file explorer(free and paid), file expert(free and donate versions), root explorer(free and paid verisons). Anyways, go to your sdcard with the file tool, locate the folder called download, and tap the icon that says "intercept-root.apk" make sure its version 1.35!
You should be asked if you'd like to install, select install. *** NOTE: if you have an antivirus on your phone(whats the point?) you'll get a pup warning, it does not mean its a virus, just a Potentially Unwanted Program, which means that you might not want to install just because it will void your warranty.. if you don't mind, JUST IGNORE! ****
next, you will have a few options, might I suggest permanent root so you don't have to keep rooting your device, it will also have other options and install a handy icon inside your applications menu screen for safe keeping!
You should be all good to go, to find out, go to the google play store and download a program thats free called "root checker basic" It will let you know if your good to go or not.
That concludes the fast off the top of my head tutorial! happy rooting!
*** Update ***
This intercept root apk file also has the option to install the CM01 recovery mod (flash) if your into modding or wanting to flash the phone to a new network sometime (why????) you might want to use this too, make sure to read up on it, I personally have not done it and choose not to, at least yet.. This is important if you want to install roms, kernels (like crappy-kernel) and opens more features to your phone, but can render it into a paper weight if your not careful and PAY ATTENTION!
hope this helps everyone.

Successfully rooted DHD using AAHK, thanks!

Thanks for the great help from the development team and those from the AAHKsupport IRC, espcially attn1, Zanzibar and many others.
Originally I tried to use ubuntu live CD to run the hack environment but it failed trying to chmod hack-ace.sh to 755. I gave up after few times of downloading, unzipping, logging in as root, etc.
Then I ran the hack kit from the Win 7 environment, luckily I didn't have Apple / iPhone stuff installed on that machine. After removing the HTC Sync, antivirus and adware programs from the PC, I ran the windows version of the hack kit.
The whole process is so smooth that it took 8 minutes from "pressing 1" to finish. During the process, there is nothing I need to interfere and all data and apps are intact as before.
Now it is time for me to learn how to install custom rom and hopefully try out the full functionality of this DHD.
AAHK and other contributors, great job!

this is best way to hack the dhd thanks

Excellent to hear that, I am about to try this myself. I used to mess around jailbreaking and customizing on my iPhone but haven't with my Android yet.

Share the link
Its good to know that you have done it successfully. Can you share the weblink or steps to root DHD. Actually I am novice in this stuff. But I need to root my DHD to update it to the latest ICS rom

Just follow the detailed instructions by attn1:

Did you guys have any trouble getting your phone detected by the kit? I keep trying but it always throws out a "Phone not connected or Drivers not installed or USB Debugging not turned on" error when I have the first and last covered and explicitly installed the drivers included with the kit.
I've tried using the Ubuntu Live CD technique as well, but I get an 'Error connecting to HTC phone' message.
I can mount it as a disk drive easily enough, I just can't get the thing to register.

AAHK has an IRC support. They are very helpful. Just re-read the effen manual twice AGAIN and be ready to ask them.

After reading 250 pages of post of the IceColdSandwich ROM, I have just installed this ROM. Wiping data, cache, dalvik and installing the ROM took only 10 minutes.
Now, it's the time to experience Android 4.0 on the Desire HD.

After installing the new rom will remain the data contacts, applications?

Data in your SD will be untouched. It is highly recommended that you perform fullwipe before installing new ROMS to avoid bugs and other issues. Actually, its a MUST for many scenarios.
You contacts will be restored if you enable google to sync your contacts. SMS will not be retained, however, u can download "SMS backup and restore" in Google Store, its free.
Apps however, will be gone. Unless you've backed them up(i'd recommend titanium backup). For paid apps, don't worry, u can simply download them again from google store.

i've come to share my experience with HTC desire HD a9191 ultimaty, i managed to root and downgrade from v.2.3.5 to 2.3.3 and great thanks to xda who tried their best to grand more and more new method to valuable clients as me. i tried many time finally, it work smoothly, i 'd like to air my deep and sincere thank to person who tried to create aahk for some wanting to root DHD phone.

HiSuite 4.05 - backup not working

Since I updated HiSuite to the last version the backup function isn't working. It hangs on getting data from the phone. Has anybody had a similar experience ?

DOOMKING... YOU'RE BACK :laugh:
Never used it. I take backups with twrp

Of course I am back, this is the best forum I know and I follow it regularly at least for last three months. I made a backup with TWRP too but I also used HiSuite in the past since contacts can get messed up by Google contacts and/or Outlook and further I want to have a second backup on my computer just in case my SD gets messed. Anyway HiSuite worked OK until I updated to the last version, so I was curious if it is because of that or because of Su or something unrelated.

i got root, deleted some apps, twrp installed, custumized rom and custumized build.prop. missing some stock apps because i don't need them and installed xposed framework.
and well... look at the picture
did you gave the right permissions to back up app?

Ok thanks for info, I was just wondering... Anyway I can allways make a copy of my TWRP backup to PC or try a cloud backup with an app. Any suggestion ? Is Titanium best? Where do I give permissions to back up?

after that go to advanced sttings -> security -> allow Hisuite to use hdb
Note i disabled usb debugging

Doesn't work. Can you point me to how to find permission manager. Even if I switch to English I cant find it. HiSuite to use hdb is allowed. It works I can see contacts, media, apps. Just can't make a backup. Another question, why is my keyboard (I use Swiftkey) always switching to Huawei's after each reboot ?

No, Swiftkey is installed in internal memory.

I reinstalled an older version of HiSuite and same thing happened even if it worked before I rooted the phone. I can connect the phone contacts, photos and apps are there; just when I want to backup - no go. It must be something connected to permissions but I am banging my head what... (ouch )

Your permissions are not properly set up. under phone manager you should see permission manager. try to give the apps you're having problems with full acces.

Thought so, now I am trying to find how. EMUI is not vanilla android so I am learning. Oh well....

you also can select permission manger -> rights -> app auto-launch ->select the app you want
Keep on learning

The only version of Hisuite, that the backup works is version 2.3.55. That is strange - so it's not permissions on my phone but something with the program. In the meantime i moved to Sokkoban's latest rom for dual sim eu P8 lite, so i thought that then maybe Hisuite would work, but no except the old one that I mentioned. Confused - yes.

I looked for solution for the same problem. Some time ago i use to use HiSuite and it worked, Now don't. When I red your post i poked into Internet and found this:
Huawei » Hisuite » 2.3.35 : Security Vulnerabilities Published In 2016
Huawei HiSuite (In China) before 4.0.4.301 and (Out of China) before 4.0.4.204_ove allows remote attackers to install arbitrary apps on a connected phone via unspecified vectors

So probably problem lays INSIDE HiSuite.
EDIT\\ Problem lays in Huawei Backup. It needs to be upgraded to newest version. I had installed HB already, but HS do not want to work with it. Cannot upgrade from Play Store because it sayas so I have installed newest vesrsion. When I unininstalled HB from my phone, Play Store says, so my phone is incompatible!! Huawei phoner!! I found newest HB on APKMIrror and after installing it all went good - HiSuite works lakie it should and makes backup from PC.

Try ia USB storage device
HiSuite kept giving me the "insufficient space on your device" message... So instead I tried using a USB storage device and it worked fine. Basically a USB pen with the micro connector so that you can plug it to your phone. Hope this tip helps!

I faced the same issues. You need I think 10% (capacity or backup-volume)free storage on device and/or 10GB free storage. After cleaning up a little bit, it worked.

Hey folks I have the same problem
Connection through windows explorer is working fine
But if I try to backup my data it comes always unable to getting data
What could I be?
Thanks
