Delete T-Mobile Visual VoiceMail App

hey guys, i ve tried deleting the vvm-signed.apk in root explorer, and even though it shows that it was deleted, once i refresh its right there again.
i have stopped the the app from running in the background, and tried again, but still no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

You will have to do it with ADB or Terminal Emulator for now. Root Explorer is not allowing rw to /system yet.

What should I change the title of the sticky at the top of the thread to? It says read before posting...

[Q] Gingerbread Browser needed / replacement

Hi guys,
For specs about my phone, please see my signature
// -------
I was running oxygen 2.0 yesterday to see what's gingerbread like.. and although I happen to use that browser, I prefer that one bigtime above the default (sense?) HTC browser. Is there a way to replace the HTC one with default Android / gingerbread browser?
This should be possible, but more.. which files do I need and how to flash. I heard I should get the browser.apk (wich is no problem) and find the right .lib / library file.
Anyone knows more of this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, i think you need to push Browser.apk to /system/app/
Make sure you make a backup first tho.

is there no need for library files? and.. do you know a link / tutorial for pushing apps and stuff for ADB?

Not sure about library files but to do it via adb youd do this...
Copy Browser.apk to the tools folder of the sdk.
Boot your phone into recovery and mount /system
Connect phone to PC
On PC, run then cmd to get the command prompt.
Navigate to the tools folder of the sdk. Mine is C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
'adb devices' - this should list your device as being in recovery
'adb push Browser.apk /system/app' - this copies the apk from your tools folder to your phone
'adb reboot'
See how you get on

Iced Glacier boot animation

Forgive me if this has been answered before.. Anyone know how to push a boot animation through terminal on Iced Glacier rom? I can get it done through adb, but was curious as to how I can do it without a pc...
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

as long as you have the bootanimation.zip in the floor of the sd card, you can do this in the terminal.
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot

You can also just replace the file with root explorer under system/customize/resource

Neither method would work... I do have the boot animation saved in my sd card's root, and even in adb I have to push it to /system/customize/resource... And if it makes any difference, the original boot animation is named TMUS_bootanimation.zip and also I am using ghost commander as a root explorer...

Sorry, yeah, you need to rename the file to TMUS_bootanimation.zip to replace the current

I did that... Did not work... Also tried replacing the lines in the other guys post with the right location/ name... The result of both is a second file in my resource folder and it gives it (2) after the filename... No big deal, I will continue using adb...

that worked..after giving it super user privilege. My keyboard dropped out of sight.. i exited , than re-entered Terminal emulator repeating the steps one by one and it worked! Thank you! ive been up and down the forum even using ROM manger but stuck with there boot animations instead of the ones i wanted.
*Thanks Given!

I had this problem before, but I was using ES File Explorer. What I ended up doing was backing up the old bootanimation.zip file and then deleting it with the RM command under SU. After I did that I could copy the new animation in just fine.

Question

How to get back to s-on and how do I remove Rom manager permanently as In not being on when I boot my phone like I was never rooted?I want to completely remove all of this

Process for turning S back on[/COLOR]
Download this file and unzip it to /sdcard on your device.
unroot.rar
http://www.mediafire.com/?12oi5elu7v2y8og
md5sum: aad4e64126cf8d92d7e8b5abb48fdadd
Terminal Emulator Method
1. Open up terminal editor on your device.(I prefer this method b/c you can see the output.)
a. Type "su" + enter to gain root privileges.
b. Type "cd /sdcard/unroot" + enter.
c. Type "sh unroot.sh" + enter.
d. Follow the onscreen prompts.
File Explorer Method
2. Open root explorer, sufbs, or some other file browser with root access.
a. Navigate to /sdcard/unroot.
b. Click on unroot.sh and allow it to run. Some file browsers ask permission before they execute scripts.
c. Wait 18 to 20 seconds and reboot your phone into the bootloader to check if S=on.
You now have S=ON again.
Since we opened up the nand to writes you should still retain persistent root privileges.
Hope this makes it all easier for you.

For everyone that is have trouble writing to the protected areas of the system after following the rooting procedures.
Reboot into Clockwork recovery and choose the mounts and storage option. From there choose mount system (or whichever protected directory you want access to) and click the trackpad. When unmount system shows you have rw access to the /system directory and all of its subs.

Look for PD15IMG.ZIP . It contains the stock rom. Just put that on the root of the sdcard. It will wipe everything. It's on a sticky in the dev forums. You just boot into hboot and follow the on screen promps.
If you are talking about the program then just uninstall it .

Sqlite3 terminal?

I'm sorry if this is a noobish question but can anyone tell me what terminal and where it is that I'm supposed to use to pull and push files? I'm trying to stop the nook color Ota updates with these commands and they said to move sqlite3 file to my system/ bin then use terminal to type in these scripts. I have no idea what terminal they are talking about. Please help!! Thank you
