[Q] Can't Remove Copilot Trial in 2.2 Streak Beta

i updated my streak to the 2.2 FROYO update meant for US STreak BETA devices and it comes preinstalled with Copilot Trial which i cant remove with Titanium Backup is there any other way???

First and formost, you must be rooted unless you use adb
*Using a file explorer that has root access. I like SUFBS (SU File Manager & Terminal) myself many people like root explorer tho.
Just mount /system as read/write and delete the apk from /system/app and your done.
or
*using adb
adb remount
adb shell ls /system/app <<*This is just to see a list of all the apps in /system/app. I am unsure of the exact name of the copilot apk. If you know, skip this step.
adb shell rm /system/app/name of file you wish to remove
or
*using terminal
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /system/app
ls <<<*again because I don't know the exact name of the apk file
rm name of the file you wish to remove

FIRSTLY << If that is a word ... I am a "root" virgin .. I used something called z4root . . I don't know if it worked .. I don't know why I even would want to 'root' my streak other than to remove unnecessary programs. In any case I haven't figured out how to do ANYTHING .. The directions below are probably clear to some, but could you or someone else do a "root for dummies" explanation or better yet, do a "adb" for dummies then I don't need to worry if I have rooted it or not. No rush ..

I've not been able to get universal androot to work with 2.2, but z4root definitely has.

if you see an app called "superuser" or "superuser permissions", youre rooted. the app you are looking to delete is /system/app/copilot.apk

thanks for your's help , mate ! :]

Do you have SDK installed? If so, just open up a command prompt and use:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm *insert path to specific file you want to remove*
Ctrl+C
exit

[Script]Obtain Google Play

Josepho1997 said:
Here is a script that will download and install Google Play(and the other needed files) without any risk of bricking your device. This script will install everything for you, and after it reboots, you should have Google Play.
Just download gapps.sh run it in terminal emulator:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard
sh gapps.sh
Feel free to leave some feedback.
Download - https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/gapps.sh?w=13584f53
Make sure you put the script in the root of your sdcard.

Hey! Thanks for this! I JUST bought the KHD for my wife last night and was looking for a way to sideload apps. I would like to try this but I honestly have no idea what the steps are on a mac. Any way you could help me out? Where/how do I get into the terminal? Thanks again.

Ok. I updated the OP. You dont need a mac for this(unless you download the script with the mac, in which you'll need to transfer it to your kindle). But to side-load, you just need to allow the installation of unknown sources. But if you use this script, you wont need to sideload as you'll have he complete market.

Thanks for the quick reply. What I meant was that I am using a mac and did not know if any extra steps were required. I downloaded the term apk and the gapps.sh file but it does not seem to be working in term. And I am a little confused about the "root of the sd card" thing. The kindle does not have an sd card...? I connected to my mac and placed it in the screen that pops up when you want to side load or transfer files to and from the kindle. When using terminal all I get it sh: gapps.sh: No such file or directory
Suggestions? Thanks again!
I guess I should ask if I need to be rooted or perhaps I did not mention that I was NOT rooted.....

The sdcard is internal. When you connect your Kindle via USB to transfer files, that is your sdcard. The root of your sdcard is right on your sdcard. So the root of your sdcard is basically straight on the sdcard and not in any folder. When you connect your kindle via USB, you see a lot of folders. You wouldn't place the gapps.sh in any of the folders, but straight on the sdcard.
The sh: gapps.sh: No such file or directory means that it couldn't locate the file in the directory you where in. cd /sdcard means to change directory to the sdcard. It couldn't find it because it wasn't in the root of your sdcard. For example, if it were in your download folder(inside the sdcard), then you would have to do
Code:
cd /sdcard/Downloads
And yes, you need to be rooted
Sorry if this is confusing. I'm only 14, and I'm not very good at explaining things.

I just tried it. Terminal loaded the gapps.sh and has many failed error and reboot! I thought it was brick. After reboot nothing happens. No playstore to be found.

Can you rephrase that? In the script it should've downloaded 3 different files. Did it do that? It should've Downloaded them, then moved them, installed them, deleted them off your sdcard, and then rebooted. Browse to /system/app and see if the play store is in there.(Along with Vending.apk and the google service framework). I know on the original kindle fire google play wouldn't show up on the carasoul.(however you spell it)
I did test this script on my original kindle fire, and it worked fine.

1. My KFHD is rooted
2. sideloaded terminal
3. launch terminal within KFHD
4. su > cd /sdcard > sh gapps.sh
* It launch the file and gave me bunch of text "saying error failed something" too fast for me to read them. It was only a few seconds then it rebooted.
5. I don't see nothing in /system/app

It seems like it isn't downloading the files and without the files, it will just skip the other steps(they'll get errors).
Edit: Wait...Do you have busybox? If not, sideload this app, run it, make sure it installed busybox, and then run the script again. Here's the app: http://db.tt/ESRFKtXC

Would deleting the wget command work if the 3 files is already on the /sdcard ?
I thought we only need to move the vending.apk to " system/app " folder?

Yes, if you have the 3 files already on your sdcard with the same names as the ones in my script, and you delete the wget commands, it will work. Why? Is busybox not installing? And the other two files need to go somewhere. So I just put them in the /system/app folder where they should be anyways.

Does one have to be rooted to do try this process? I'll proceed with my questions if that isn't necessary to get the Play Store.
I thought I read yes somewhere mixed in one of the posts but I'm just making sure.

I can't get busybox to install with the installer. Keeps failing no matter what version i pick. I think it might be a permissions issue. It wouldn't let me mount r/w. Any ideas?

My install in rebooting immediately with no downloads. Decided to try running a couple command individually.
The busybox remount works fine.
The WGET fails. There is no path to wget that android can find. If you run "busybox wget", it works.
Wonder if we need to include "busybox" in front of the wget commands.
Testing as soon as my linux box cranks up.
UPDATE:
Made a few changes to original script:
1. WGET's were not pulling the file from the site. Don't know why but had to pull the files individually and put on root of SDCARD
2. Changed line: chmod 644 /system/app/Play.apk to chmod 644 /system/app/Gplay3.8.17.apk
Question for OP..
Now that I have the Gplay apk and all the other files in the /system/app folder... now what? I don't see google play in the application list as an available option. I see it in the /system/app folder fine but it doesn't show as an app that is available.

Accidentally uninstalled Package Access helper

Hey Guys,
I just made a big blunder.. darn! I uninstalled the Package Access Helper (thru the titanium backup app) on my G2 (D802 ver) and now I can't install any apps anymore from the PlayStore.
The phone is rooted though..
My question is... What's the best and easiest way to remedy this problem? should I go to all the hassle of reflashing back to Stock ROM? OR can I possibly get an apk for this "Package Access Helper" thingie? and where in God's world do I find this apk if ever asl well?
I'm in dire need here guys... pls help me out. .::
thank you.

There you go

copy it to /system/app & reboot

Thanks, but I dont have have any root explorer app on my phone.
Already installed the adb shell on my laptop..
enabled USB debugging on my phone, checked device manager and saw "Androidnet Sooner Single ADB Interface: under Computer.
then on the command prompt with admin permission, I typed on where the adb libs are located
adb shell
su
adb remount
chmod 777 /system/apps
adb push DefaultContainerService.apk /system/app/
BUT.... I always end up with the errr message "device not found"
What's this error all about??
Thank you again for sharing some of your info... I highly appreciate your insights on this

Here you go x2
flashable
@error - you need adb drivers + usb debugging enabled.

I sent you back a message mate.
Unfortunately the flashable zip might not be of no good to me at all, as I did not install any custom recovery on my phone e.g. twrp, etc.
I guess the only route I can do is to really push the DefaultContainerService.apk to the /system/app but I'm always getting this err -'device not found''it
Should Androidnet Sooner Single Adb interface really be the one that appears under the Device manager? or should it be 'Android Composite ADB Interface'?
I'm having a tough luck on this

I guess the most I can do on this would be to just reflash it back to stock again and hope it'll work. *sigh

thanks man, I downloaded the adb tool from the android sdk website itself.
By the way, I tried as well booting up to stock recovery, and flashing the zip (on the earlier post), but since my phone system is not yet mounted, then the zip file didn't do anything at all.

any one please send me the Package Access helper to my gmail

Please help me I want to restore my package Access helper back please

For battery optimization obsessives, Do not delete or disable it. Apps from play store can not be installed without it. This what I ended up with after disabling the service.

Can't delete system apps with root

For some reason I cannot delete system apps. I know for sure that I am rooted and that the system is mounted. No matter what app I use it doesn't work. System app remover from the Play Store gives me a "failed uninstall" error, deleting the system app folders with root explorer does not work, and Titanium Backup doesn't work. I even tried changing the permissions to rw for each app to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?
