Ok so i am on Haykuros ADP1.5Hr3, before that i was on the G build and both times (I think) i had the same issue with maps after moving cache. When i was on the G build i though it was an issue with the build itself, then i upgraded to Hr3, no issues at all, well today i was moving all my caches to the card and after im done, boot up and got maps force close, try to open it force close again. I dont want to wipe AGAIN and if theres no quick fix i would just wait for JF build and wipe anyways... Anyhow anyone has a fix for this?? It didnt happen when i was on RC33.
This is what i used to move cahce, no issues with anything else but maps. Moved everything else just fine.
cd /data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps
rm -R files
mkdir /sdcard/cache/files/maps
ln -s /sdcard/cache/files/maps files

I had that issue once, and it was because I hadn't used maps before taking those steps. Now I make sure I open the applications and play with them a bit before moving the caches and I've never had a problem since.

Try deleting the symbolic link and then try to launch maps.

rm -R files
then if google maps opens after you've done that type:
rm -R files
ln -s /sdcard/cache/files/maps files
If maps doesn't open after you've done the first step then it's wipe time.
Boy do i feel dumb... Thanks for the help, looks like im wiping though.

It's cool. I always open maps AND open a street view in maps to make sure they're both initialized before linking the caches to the SDcard and I've never had that problem since.
cache is now located in /data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/cache/webviewCache
Even though I keep killing with Task Manager the Amazon MP3 Store application, it keeps coming back, how I can stop it from auto running all the time or even better to fully remove it from the phone ?, thanks
I fully removed it from the adb shell using rm -f. I think it's stored somewhere in /data/app. Anywais, just look for the apk and remove it.

If you are using enom's ROM , the option for removing amazon MP3 , and other built-in apps .. is under spareparts :
Application Options
Built-in Applications ..
checkmark and done !
You also can remove it with "Root Explorer" from the market too...
Or SUFBS I hardly ever bother with commands anymore
You can also remov it with Android mate. (marked)

Yep.
If you want to completely remove it, rm the apk, the related /data/data/.. folder, the related dalvik-cache object and remove it from packages.xml.
But for a quick removal just del the apk (and .odex if exists).
Or you could just get root manager from the market (paid app) which allows you to uninstall system apps
Can someone please explain to me why programs like the Amazon MP3 store come back after reboot each time I've deleted it. I've deleted it via Root Manager, android mate, titanium backup and all the other methods listed in this forum. Each seem to be rid of the files with out issue. Then I reboot ...and the program is BACK. Clearly there is something I'm missing when i reboot the system reverts back before I deleted it. I just want this sprint bloatware gone

Sounds like you're not mounting the file system for writing before trying to write (delete) to the file system.
Very interesting thought. I figured since I'm not familiar with these root file system programs yet I could easily have it set to read only instead of write but after some digging I do have the software set to allow write permissions. I found some posts regarding this deleted program respawning issue. the general consensus is its the systems NAND protection. Im going to work on disabling that and trying again. thanks for the great suggestion though.
tipe this on your termina without the quotes if you dont have a terminal get one at the market.
"su"
"mount -o rw,remount /system"
"rm -r /system/app/com.amazon.mp3.apk"
"pm uninstall com.amazon.mp3"
In root explorer I went in to /system/apps and deleted .com.amazon.mp3.apk. Is that fine or is there anything else I need to delete to uninstall it?
i am still alittle confused of what i found on the internet and maybe someone can help me understand it. titanium backup backsup apps and data but it only runs when rooted. If i root my phone all the apps get deleted. How am i supose to back it up if all my apps are gone??
You do it after you have all your apps redownloaded. MyBackUp pro could of backed up your apps before you rooted the device.
But the only way you can get them back is to nano back to your original, then you titanium backup and then flash the new rom.
Rooting your phone won't delete anything. Just don't flash another rom untill you install Titanium and backup all your apps.

Use MybackUp free.. It will take a little bit of time restoring your apps, but it will work.
Once you have a custom rom on your phone. Prefer 2.0d or dc 2.07.2, both close to a normal full rom. Then you can use titanium backup

I think you need to click "problems" in the titanium backup app and it will download the latest busy box.
i am sorry if i am asking to many questions this will probley be my last. in titanium backup i went into backup/restore and none of my apps are on there??
You need superuser.apk and busybox. Titanium will get busybox for you if you press problems.
Search "mercado79 superuser"

You have to have busybox on your phone. Do what i said and us mybackup the free one. Same thing but doesnt require root. Once you get a custom rom, then you can use titanium backup to back your stuff up. The roms will have all the needed apps to run titanium
and how would i get super.apk and would i just put it into the root of my sd card??

That is busybox 1.15.3
copy it onto your SDcard
get into your cmd prompt and ADB shell
copy/paste or type the following
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
su
mkdir /system/xbin
cd /sdcard
mv busybox /system/xbin/busybox
cd /system/xbin/
./busybox --install -s /system/xbin
I'm sure if you keep running into problems we'll all continue to spoon feed you answers, but please at least make an attempt to search the forums and google beforehand. Most of this stuff has been covered ad nauseum . When you are in the CDMA hero forum index, in the upper right hand portion of the forum you will see a button that says "search this forum"

yeah i downloaded mybackup and once i backup everything i just flash the rom and the app will be on my new rom?? is that how that works??
Honestly, you anger me. Seriously. I don't know what PSP hacking forum you came from, but if you acted like this on the one I came from, they would have b& you after ridiculing your inability to take the time to search.
Ok, so this would be my chain of thought.
1. Find out about titanium backup, try it out.
2. Fails because Busybox isn't installed
3. Search the CDMA Hero section for Busybox
4. Find this

I had problems with that flashable zip. SU was not working and busybox was not recognized by TB. anyways he has specific instructions for installing busybox and SU from this thread...I've seen this guy around on androidforums.com too. every freaking post is just another question. Seems like he doesn't even attempt to search.
hello everyone!
is it possible to remove the gmail app from the android 2.1 (nexus one)?
Obviously root is required for this
Install adb (it's in the Android SDK, search forum or Google for guides). In your console execute these commands
Remount file system with write permissions
Code:
adb remount
Remove Gmail app
Code:
adb rm /system/app/Gmail.apk
Code:
adb rm /system/app/Gmail.odex
Remove storage / sync
Code:
adb rm /system/app/GmailProvider.apk
Code:
adb rm /system/app/GmailProvider.odex
If the odex files aren't there skip those.
+
adb rm /data/data/com.google.android.providers.gmail
adb rm /cache/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
adb rm /cache/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
If you want to completely remove it.

Yep, that doesn't surprise me... try removing phone.apk...
I tried uninstalling the gtalk app and I couldn't even use the phone. I guess they are all tied together...
All of the Google apps are tied very closely with how the phone runs. People have been trying stupid stuff like this since late 08. I suggest the OP get over it.
Doesn't the CM rom not contain Gapps so they would just have to install CM without Gapps?

And many apps you can remove, just not the essential one.
I remove cardock, facebook, dev tools, geniewidget, talk, gvoice, stk, email and perhaps one or two others before I ever install a rom... don't use em, don't want em.
And yes, removing unused apps in Android will actually make your phone faster in some activities.
an easy way to remove such apps is using Titanium Backup.
in titanium you can click on any app, and opt to uninstall it.
after that you reboot, and go into "settings/applications/manage applications and you will see the apps that you removed still in the list with 0kb, you can click them and do "uninstall" - done
a solution for those that don't want to type too much adb commands
and yes... make a nandroid before -

"After obtaining S-OFF and permanent root, I was still having trouble getting Titanium Backup to work.
Here's what I had to do to fix it:
I had used this to obtain temp root in the past: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1151735
Those steps had me create this directory: /data/bin/
Within that directory, I had sqlite, su, etc. so I simply deleted all the files in that folder, rebooted, and Titanium Backup now works!
I hope it helps everyone else."
This is straight from the Evo 3d Development Thread. Thanks go to Wiljitsu. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192452 I am posting it here in hopes of helping others.
You will have to use Root Explorer or the equivalent to delete these files. Or you could use the free way, execute "adb shell rm -r /data/bin/*"
Yup fixed it!!!
adb shell rm -r /data/bin/*

I haven't tried that. But the problem was not with Titanium Backup itself, it was with the location of the Su binary. Titanium is still going to look for the binary wherever it can find it. If the original is still present in /data/local/ or whatever else, then it will use that one. Once you delete it, it will then look for it elsewhere( in the xbin)

Did you temp-root your phone before? If you haven't, then you don't have the files that are causing the issue. This fix is for people who have.
I had temp rooted before finally s-off this morning.
So I had the TB Pro problem, by following the OP instructions I have access again to my backup program.
THANKS!!!!!
YEEEEESSSSSSSS that worked. Finally TB works as well. I thought I was going crazy !!! haha thank you.
Glad to hear you guys reporting back with great news! I know how frustrating it is to not have titanium.

Glad that ended up working for you.seems like a lot of people worked it out with different methods. This one was for those who temp rooted and had the su binary already on their phone. Thus causing problems once they tried superuser the second time.
