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?

Forget what I said, use Mater's method. lol

I do see the Mount R/O in the top right hand section of the screen and I pressed it but it seems like it didnt do anything. It just shows my memory used / free and r/w [ Mount R/O]
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.

Here do this I had this happen awhile back this worked

[How To] + [MOD] Custom Transition Animations (UPDATED)

Watching the same transition animations over and over is boring. You can speed them up with Spare Parts or you can just shut them off entirely within settings. There is, though, a third road: change 'em.
These are videos of most of the transition animations packs (Drod's rubiX animations, Fab's animation mix, and Android Stock have no videos at present).
Flip
YouTube - Android Screen Transitions
Bounce
YouTube - Samsung moment animations, bounce
Fold
YouTube - Sbtwca
FlyIn
YouTube - Samsung moment animations, fly in
There are two preferred ways to use these animations:
1. Add Animations Using Metamorph: should work for most roms. Thanks Haxzamatic!
Transition Animation MetaMorph Files - http://bit.ly/gwEB5F
Note: there is no current MetaMorph file for either Android Stock or Fab's mix (see below).
2. Manually Add Animations: should work for most roms
This process will be helpful for those wanting to mix and match animations from the folders. In fact, why don't you create your own mix and post it here so everyone else can appreciate your awesomeness. I'll add new mixes below if they come in.
1. Simply get ahold of the anim folder with the animations you want to use and the framework-res.apk from the rom you're interested in modifying (/system/framework/framework-res.apk).
2. Open up the framework-res.apk in 7zip (right click on it, and select "open archive").
3. Drag the anim folder with the animations (which you can download below) into /res folder in your framework-res.apk. This will replace the files currently in /res/anim.
4. Exit out of 7zip.
5. You now need to push the modified framework-res.apk onto the phone. You can do this by placing the modified framework-res.apk in the root sdcard folder, and entering the following into terminal emulator on your phone or using ADB when the sdcard is mounted:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
If you're using terminal emulator, your phone will probably reboot before you finish re-mounting and/or typing reboot.
NOTE: This is taken almost wholesale from MagnusRagnarok (initial post) and ronhova (detailed instructions) on XDA; they deserve the credit. Link To Original Post.
Since this process modifies your rom's framework-res.apk, it obviously won't work with other roms. Translation: don't take the framework you've just modified and try to put it on other roms. IF YOU DO THIS, YOU WILL DIE.
Animation Files: for manual addition
Bounce
Flip
Fly In
Fold
Drop In (from Drod's rubiX focused series)
Fly In and Flip Mix (from Fab's Apex)
Android Stock

Nice!!
But credit should really go to MagnusRagnarock. I just like it so much that I had to have it for my droid x.
Oh by the way, some of you might not get pass the second line of code. After you push the framework-res.apk back to your phone, the phone will do a soft reboot inside terminal. Applying all your changes. Don't freak out!
I recomend mixing and matching the transitions. Looks even better!
I'm using the fold transition for my lock screen and the fly transition for everything else.

Hey there, thanks for the instructions, by the way. You should post /anim folder so we can all enjoy your custom set. If I had more time I'd be experimenting like crazy to get the perfect mix.

I made some morphs so there easy to apply. Sadly I don't have a X to try on. They worked great with CM6. As long as the framework is in /system/framework
it should work. Great find

Ok I'm sorry if this is a little of topic but I would like yo try this but when I go to download 7 zip and set it up it tells me to first scan my registry and I find this highly odd.....I have downloaded 4 times from 4 places that I have looked up including what I thought was the main site and get this prompt...does anyone have a proper link for 7 zip?

you are so incredible thanks yes it works in the droid X and they are amazing thanks for the work

Thank you haxzamatic. I just used these on Fission 2.2.1 and they seem to be working. No force closes or anything.

Anyone knows that?

I just tried flip on my D1 via metamorph, it didn't work...

Hi all - I tried it too - worst than no luck - it make my phone unusable.
1) it wrote there are no space for frameworl.apk - unfortunately original framework was deleted or changed
- then nearly all app and android does not respond
only one way is power off, but phone hangs at samsung logo.There are no samsung small blinking word and android will not start
- luckily reflash firmware with ODIN via download mode works
2) same step, but first I deleted Layar.apk from system folder to be sure I ahve enough space like author of flying animation JPF ROM at this forum.
I repeated then again copy framework with same space result and phone unusable, again flash over ODIN - I give up :-(
I tried mount as ro as at step 3rd, but it wrote busy message like someone else alraedy posted here.
- updated - I manually removed Layar.apk and Maps.apk from /system folder
then I had enough space for copy framework-res.apk
but still command mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
wrote cannot unmount, system busy
I rebooted phone normally and I am testing if framework changed or what happened
I already successfully enabled LiveWallpapers and now only framework is what I am missing from ROM with flying animation JPF ROM at this forum.
Any tips ?

[Q] Getting past the "Read-only file system"

Ultimately... All I'm trying to do is put my custom ringtone on the internal memory so that it still plays correctly when the sd card is connected to my computer. (Though I certainly wouldn't mind removing the obnoxious "boot_att.ogg" file as well.) But I keep getting thwarted. First by the discovery that there's no /home directory (which kind of weirds me out, but that's a whole 'nother story).
Anyway, my phone is rooted with z4root, and I'm trying to do this by two different methods. [Correction: It would be better to say that I've tried this using two different programs] I've tried using "adb shell," and I've tried using "Android Terminal Emulator". I can successfully use su in both of them (but if I can't rewrite anything, then I don't see what the difference is). Then I go to the directory on my sd card where the cell ring is and I type
cp cell\ ring.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones/​
And it replies
cp: /system/media/audio/ringtones/cell ring.mp3: Read-only file system​
So, I found these instructions that say to use "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3" (though I think it needs to be "mtdblock7" for mine) or "mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs /" But when I do either of those, it returns
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory​
Which I take to mean that the "mount" command isn't being used correctly (and my experience with the mount command on desktop bash is limited, so I don't have any clue how to correct it).
It's worth noting that I have the exact same results in both adb shell and Android Terminal Emulator.
So, I found another thread (I think one on XDA) that said that I need to be in recovery mode to write to /system, which kind of makes sense. But I have no clue how to do that. And Google is not helping. The only instructions I could find said to turn the phone off and hold down the camera and volume up button. Which did nothing. And it's a good thing nobody was watching because I'm sure I looked like an idiot.
So... I guess I'll have to ask, how do I get into recovery mode? But at this point, I keep coming across so many absurd things keeping me from this that I wouldn't be surprised if next I get an error.
Therefore, my question is this: Is there a way to get into recovery mode, or, alternatively, is there a way to keep my ringtone working even while my sd card is connected to my computer?

Do you have busybox installed?
Have you tried Root Explorer? It has a button to toggle read-write and read only in a folder.

I do have busybox installed. I have no idea what it does, but I installed it in an attempt to enable sideloading (which I have yet to successfully do; apparently the file isn't in the same place on the Flipside as the Captivate and I was going by a Captivate guide).
I have not yet tried Root Explorer. I know this sounds stupid since it's just four dollars, but I tend to shy away from mobile programs that cost money. (Don't know why, I've been that way since my black and white palm pilot.) But, that's just something that's weird about me, lol. I'll get Root Explorer tomorrow and come back.

Busybox is a set of command line utilities. More Info. The link in my previous post is to an installer for Busybox. Busybox provides a set of commands that can be used and many of the tutorials on modifying an android phone use them. Some don't clearly state Busybox is required.
If you are using this thread as a guide to enabling installation from unknown sources be sure to read the whole thread. In particular this post.

Mission accomplished: Root explorer worked perfectly. I saw it in the marketplace before, but I didn't know it can change read/write privileges. (I didn't get it because I thought it was going to have the same effect as Android Terminal Emulator, just without the GUI. Obviously, I am pleasantly corrected.)
And I have a correction: I did not have BusyBox installed; I had the installer installed. But it is installed now.
Thanks also for the links; sideloading is on my to-do list, after removing AT&T bloatware.
And I have one quick question: Do you (or anybody reading) happen to know if it'll be ok if I remove that boot_att.ogg file in /system/media/audio? I don't know if AT&T designed it so that the phone will crash without it, so I thought I'd ask before removing it.

I have not tried any mods of the boot sound. I would suggest that you replace the file with one that is the same name but just silence if removing it does not work.

Mounting file system as Read/Write
I too can affirm that the "Root explorer" app works perfectly for toggling the Read Only File System to Read Write.
I have a Samsung Captivate from AT&T that I upgraded to Froyo (2.2) using the official release from Samsung via the Kies Mini interface. First, I can say that was very worth it. Love 2.2 much better than stock 2.1
I rooted the phone with SuperOnceClick1.7 (had to have a Windoze OS to run that though) that I got from XDA developers and it worked like a charm. I then removed all the bloatware that AT&T likes to inflict upon its users by using "Titanium Backup." Finally, I added "Terminal Emulator" and verified that the su command was working and then "cd" to the "/etc" folder where the "PowerOn.wav" file is for the annoyingly loud startup sound is to delete it. When I issued the "rm" command to delete the file, got the dreaded "can't delete dueo the Read-only file system" or something very similar. Tried using the Android SDK via adb and that gave exact same results.
What to do?...Found this thread that gave great advice that "Root explorer" does work to toggle the R/O to R/W so the file could be deleted.
Thank you marvin02 for the great lead!!!

I have removed the "boot_att.ogg" file without any problems and went as far as swapping out the "bootanimation.zip" also without any problems. Now using CyanogenMod 5 boot animation but... haven't had any luck replacing the .ogg file for a custom startup sound. Tried encoding audio to the same specs as the original but keep getting this strange noise at boot time instead. Just thought I'd throw that in.

Quick question...
I just downloaded the free explorer from Speed which makes Root Explorer.
don't see any button to change read only to read/write. Is that a feature only in the paid Root Explorer?
Thanks from a Noob.
Edit: Just so if there are any other noobs asking... Yes, need to get the paid version to be able to write in system folders.
The free version is not able.

Ok, you know the 4G Sprint video you get when booting up, right before you actually get into the OS?
Is there anyway to get rid of that? It annoys me.

I know we can replace it, but it does not seem to be in system/media. There are a few images in system/media/GPU, but it is not the entire boot animation. I did some brief searching, but am not finding it.

I'm pretty sure you'll find it in /system/customize/resource along with an mp3 that provides the boot sound.

Yeah, I did the same thing. Searching around did give me the opportunity to scrap most of those annoying ringtones I never use though.
I searched around a bit more but didn't find anything. I did find a bootanimation.zip in data/local and replaced it with a boot animation I have, but it didn't change anything.

adb push doesn't work (at least for me) have to figure out another way
however your location is correct.

Not 100% on this but if you adb while in recovery it may work. /system is mounted while the phone is running so you may be running into permission errors. Although I was able to adb pull mine while running.
Edit: not sure if it's just me but when I tried I get an error about the system being read only and apparently the busybox I have doesn't have a remount command.
Edit2: found the full remount command but it seems that the phone doesn't care for it much. Was able to push a new ani but got acore force closes on reboot the were not fixed by putting back the original (I didn't really expect them to be)
Edit3: Finally got it working. You just have to be in recovery with /system mounted. I should have tried that much earlier but I seem to like to try all the wrong steps first Any 480x800 animation should work. wouldn't suggest using the flashable zips since they probly copy to the wrong location. Have fun.

I built my own flashable zip using the old template from my Moment days...just had to edit the cleaner.sh and the update-script in the 'META-INF\com\google\android' folder of the zip file.
cleaner.sh contents:
#!/system/bin/sh
rm -rf /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
rm -rf /data/local/bootanimation.zip
update-script contents:
show_progress 0.1 0
run_program PACKAGE:cleaner.sh
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
set_perm 0 0 0644 SYSTEM:customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
show_progress 0.2 10
You also need to change the folder structure inside the flashable zip to 'system/customize/resource' for the location of the bootanimation.zip file.
I also included a new mp3 file in same folder as bootanimation and renamed it to 'VERSION11SAMELENGTH.mp3'.
Edit: Some things I noticed:
- need to resize the images and update that size in the 'desc.txt' file
- the animation plays faster even at the same frame rate than it did
on my old phone, so you may need to lower that
- the mp3 file is pretty loud so you may want to lower its volume
before including it in the zip...it also seems to be tied in some
manner to what the media volume (I think) is set to when the phone
is shut off/rebooted
Edit 2: If anyone sees any errors in my method, by all means speak up...I am mostly just winging this (with a recovery backup in case something goes wrong)

CM7 / AOSP Boot sound [working]

Another user asked for this, and I helped him through it, so I decided to post it here so everyone can have access to it. I didn't create the file, just came across it one day being bored..I digress.
Credit to barnacles10 and lithid-cm
*NOTE: Anything in brackets is either description of what is happening or an action you need to perform; don't type in anything in brackets*
What you need to do to get a boot sound on CM7/AOSP is the following.
1. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/bootsnd.sh Apparently some people had issues with the first link, so I uploaded it again. Download that file, place on your sdcard.
2. Take whatever sound you want and rename it to: android_audio.mp3 [needs to be mp3 format] and then place in your adb tools folder.
3. On your phone, open terminal emulator, and type in the following:
su [enter]
cd /sdcard [enter]
ls [to list all files, you should see bootsnd.sh]
sh bootsnd.sh [enter]
You won't see a confirmation, or message, it just runs, and returns you to a # sign.
From your computer, adb push the android_audio.mp3 to the /system/media folder, reboot, and you'll have a sound.
If you don't like / know how to use adb, using root explorer and placing the android_audio.mp3 in the system/media folder works just as well. Reboot, and enjoy your boot sound.
*NOTE*
If you flash / change roms, you'll have to re-run the process to enable the boot sound again. If you get tired of it / don't want it, you can use root explorer and delete the file.
Alternate method:
For those that don't like using the terminal emulator, you can do it via adb:
navigate to your adb folder via commanda prompt, then issue the following commands:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /sdcard
ls [will list files, you should see bootsnd.sh]
sh bootsnd.sh
Like in the emulator, you will be returned with a # sign. Then place the audio file in the folder I specified. Just decided like posting an alt method. Enjoy.

The file should save as a .sh. If it doesn't show up as .sh when you are saving it, save it as all file types, and that should work as well.
If you double click it, it should prompt you with the "no program found...do you want to...blah blah" And it should show bootsound.sh

Well AOSP roms [i.e CM7] wasn't designed to have boot souns, so it probably won't be integrated [my speculation].

Well if its a zip file. Extract the file, it should be an mp3 inside. Rename that file to android_auido [should have .mp3 extension already].

It launches rom manager and tells me its a operating system. Did I get the wrong file.

Another user asked for this, and I helped him through it, so I decided to post it here so everyone can have access to it. I didn't create the file, just came across it one day being bored..I digress.
What you need to do to get a boot sound on CM7/AOSP is the following.
1. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/bootsnd.sh Download that file, place on your sdcard.
2. Take whatever sound you want and rename it to: android_audio.mp3 [needs to be mp3 format] and then place in your adb tools folder.
3. On your phone, open terminal emulator, and type in the following:
su [enter]
cd /sdcard [enter]
ls [to list all files, you should see bootsnd.sh]
sh bootsnd.sh [enter]
You won't see a confirmation, or message, it just runs, and returns you to a # sign.
From your computer, adb push the android_audio.mp3 to the /system/media folder, reboot, and you'll have a sound.
If you don't like / know how to use adb, using root explorer and placing the android_audio.mp3 in the system/media folder works just as well. Reboot, and enjoy your boot sound.
*NOTE*
If you flash / change roms, you'll have to re-run the process to enable the boot sound again. If you get tired of it / don't want it, you can use root explorer and delete the file.

Ok just tried this without using adb as I think its million times better to just use a ftp app and get this done in seconds. But I dont know why its not working. I check the name to make sure I wasnt putting in the .mp3 twice and for some reason it wont play the file. And its in MP3 format.

I had some that wouldn't play for some reason too. Try a different mp3 file and see id it work. If not did u get the bootsnd file placed on the root of sd card and pushed the file with adb. Or my preferred method terminal emulator.

Really well I actually tried the audio from the driod just to see but I try a couple more. Yeah the problem with using those they are more timely and both USB ports are beyond ****ed right lol. But I should just be able to do this over FTP. Was there anything similar to the ones that worked to the ones that did.
