[Solved] Deleted System Apps Still Showing Under Manage Applications

Im using the Root Explorer v2.10.2(which is the latest) to delete some unwanted system apks in system/apk folder, and im pretty sure i have already deleted those apks, but when i go into Settings->applications->manage applications, i still can find those deleted apks. Altho they are like 0 bite in memory, but still looks very annoying to me. Is there any way to get rid of those things in 'manage applications'? I have tried to search keywords in RootExplorer, and deleted the apk folders under data/data, and reboot my phone, and they are still there..
Also, if i click on any of those apks, "settings" will FC.

hmm.. what is fix_permissions?
i searched on google and it says:
From a running ROM
To execute the fix_permissions script on your phone:
Open the "Terminal" app from the application drawer.
Type
su
fix_permissions
when i type fix_permissions in terminal, it indicates fix_permissions not found, i also tried fix_permissions.sh, still not found

SMOKI 0.6.3, RA-hero-v1.6.2
it seems like the fix_permissions command can be used in CM ROMS..

LOL, problem solved, by editing the packages.xml under data/system, somehow the apk details are recorded in that file, so i just delete the corresponding codes and reboot my phone, walllllaaaaaaaaaa
AND, thanks a lot for your guide, LOL

Glad that you got it solved.
Also I hope that you don't mind by I edited your title because your problem wasn't specifically related to the Root Explorer app. This problem would occur if you had used any other means of removing the system app. By editing the title it'll make it easier for those that need assistance with a similar issue post their problems and find solutions. Adding [Solved] is effective to let them know that a resolution is available within the thread.
And it's not my guide, it's a reference for others that can't find the answer with the apparently evasive search feature.

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.

Nice post I'm going to do this now!

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].
And if you ever want to "thank" anyone, at the bottom of every post, you'll see a "thanks" button, and then you have "thanked" them, and the user can see it.

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.

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.

[Guide] How to have write protection disabled on boot with stock rom

For this to work you will need to be rooted with twrp installed.
This is for people who are on the stock rom or a rom without init.d support.
1. Download the wp_mod.ko file from @flar2's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701816
and copy it over to your SD card (either internal or external)
2. Boot into twrp
3. Select the "Mount" option on the main menu and tick system
4. Go back to the main menu and then go into the "Advanced" option. There will be a "File Manager" option
5. Navigate to the folder you saved the .ko file in and copy it (just touch the file and it will bring up the menu)
6. now navigate to /system/lib/modules and copy the file there by hitting the "select" button on the bottom right.
7. Navigate to /system/lib/modules and insure the file is there. Now touch it to bring up the menu. select "Chmod" option and enter in 644
8. reboot the device
9. Once booted fully open up Terminal emulator and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
10. Once that's done open up a file manager app with root access and mount as r/w and navigate to /system/etc and look for the file install-recovery.sh
11. edit the file using a text editor, adding the line insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko towards the bottom of the file
12. reboot and enjoy r/w on boot without running the command every time
13. profit

I don't have my hands on mine yet (ordered a Dev edition from Amazon), but I greatly appreciate your work here! R/W was a massive pain for me on my M7, and this seems much more simple and easy. Thanks again!

Does this work if the phone is still s-on? (unlocked/rooted but no s-off)

Sorry, but will this fix my little niggling issue with MX player? I keep my Stewart/Colbert files on the extSD card, but I can't delete them when done watching them using MX Player's delete command. I have to remember which files are watched and then use ES File Explorer to delete them. A silly second step in my opinion. Yes I am rooted, s-on, with TWRP.
I'm staying stock hoping a firewater solves my s-on issue, but yes I should probably do a custom ROM to solve this and a few other things.

Diagnosing Crashing Apps

So I have an app that I use and quite often and it crashes for seemingly no reason quite often. I have contacted the dev on these apps and they claim it's always on my end and the app is coded properly.
In order to validate these claims I need to be able to see why they are crashing. Is there any app or tool I can use to get a quick read out as to why the app crashed?
Thanks.

@PieOfJustice
Well if the developer is not willing to help how do you plan on fixing it?
in your fastboot / adb folder
create a new txt and name it Runlogcat.bat
open the empty file and paste
Code:
ECHO @
adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
I also use another bat file called clearlogcat.bat so the log is not so long
create it the same way
Code:
ECHO @
adb logcat -c
the idea is to clear the log and then crash the app then take the log to see what the errors were

Okay guys first off sorry if there's a thread for this but XDA has become so over crowded and full of comments it's just to much to read through and try to remember. But anyway
Can anyone point me in the right direction or simply explain real quick how to properly root the T-Mobile variant. I'm running full stock (Obviously) I'm on H91810j and would like to debloat a little and use greenify. Any help is appreciated.

It should take about 3 to 5 minutes to complete the whole process if you know what you are doing. If you are a noob it might take sometime to figure out were to go from one step to another
Also, just remember, there is a search function on the v20 section's main screen. You can always use keywords and the function will search what you are looking for (if someone has posted something related to That). As French prople says... "Bon chance|"
P.s: yes. The rooting method by jcadduono works for 10j

Wait. I forgot to tell you. You cant double click the files. The files can be accessed only by using cmd. (command promt). So, extract the files into a folder, and use cd or pushd in dorect it to the directory where the files are. That is the proper way.

For starter... Whats the directory where you downloaded and extracted adb fastboot? Assuming you are using the file i sent you. Was it on the downloads directory? If so open cmd (not in administratibe mode) and type pushd Downloads . Then ise all the start the adb server by using adb start-server to recognize your device.

You could use the desktop but it is more troublesome to type the directory. Thats why i suggest to put it on the downloads folder and asked you to not start the cmd as administrative. Because when you dont start it as administrative, cmd will start right from the users folder and then is only a matter of writting pushd Downloads. Focus on the first part first. Otherwise you will go nowhere lol.

Because when you dont start it as administrative, cmd will start right from the users folder and then is only a matter of writting pushd Downloads. Focus on the first part first. Otherwise you will go nowhere lol.

Okay I got into the download folder using cmd (pushd download) i tried doing adb and hitting enter after and it brought up a bunch of lines after that. I did adb devices and it shows my phone but when I do fastboot oem unlock it just hangs at waiting for devices. USB debugging is on and so is OEM unlock.

but are you in fastboot mode now? because after you have done the OEM unlock and then after that use usb debbugging then accept the prompt it shows about giving authorization to your computer, then after that you must go to fastboot mode to start the process of root
