a challenge to all app developers - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

hi i wondered if it would be possible that any of u
great app developers could make some kind of app
that backup all the APN settings so you would be
able to restore them later instead of redoing it every
time you flash a new ROM
on purpose thank's for reading and for your time

it's called backup for root users.

Just pull the apns-conf.xml from /system/etc/ on the device and after flash, just use:
adb push D:\android\APN\apns-conf.xml /system/etc/
to put them back (of course the D:\android\APN path should be where you put the file).
Thanks to sitimber for this, re replied to a previous post of mine with that info.

I'm quite sure this app already exists...

[Rom test] Don's Ghetto Rom SenseLess Speed Quicker Install 5/3/10

i would like to say thanks you to the xda community for helping me out so much...
i would like to thank alot of people whohave worked very hard to this all...
Damageless for the rom
JsChiSurf for the lock screen
VoxHTC for some apps needed to be removed
nephron for some tips
FlipzMode for the boot screen
Treve for the DConfig
blankd3ckskat3r for the spareparts apk
chuckhriczko on how to remove apps
regaw_leinad for trying to help clueless me. lol
pseudoremora for making it much more shorter.
and everyone else that i forgot. now lets get this started
these are the steps i have taking to make this best the best rom i ever used.
i love it and it is very fast in my eyes. the only problem is you have to do the rom your self.
before we get started lets go over the rom. it is the eris leak that damaged posted up. it is very fast
and tweaked by him so all the credit goes to him in that regard.
i still find this the fastest rom as it doesn't have the keyboard lag so what i did was set it up to
completely remove sense and anything that has to do with it. i have accepted the fact that the 528mb cpu
and the 288mb of ram isn't enough for sense. so after this it will be senseless and wicked fast. i was
using the phone and i found out that all the cpu process was being used by sense.
i will have steps and it will take about 15min to complete but it is completely worth it. trust me.
here is the steps needed to do it. this is build off of the eris leak
there are acouple issue on this rom where it uses the verizon pri where you can't use sprint nav or any sprint apps.
everything is in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653735
1. Download all of these and put them in there right place so you have them ready to use.
a. Download this rom (place on sd card)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652564
b. download the apk of spareparts below and place it in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
c. download the lockscreen(place on sd card)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670034
d. Removed until i can tell it's working
e. Removed until i can tell it's working
f. Download asop mms below (place on sd card)
G. Download dancing-boot-fresh.zip Below (place on sd card)
h. Audioaudiofix below (place on sd card)
I. Download remove-apps-signed.aip below (place on sd card)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657244
2.Flash A(the rom), D(Removed), E(Removed+), h(Audiofix), G (dancing-boot-fresh.zip) I(Remove-apps-signed.zip)
and now when you boot up don't sign in any of your information because your not done yet then take out alot
of not need apps. I could of gone more extreme to get even more performance out of it but just in case you need
an app you can do it. now remove these apps by openning up the CMD in windows. don't touch your phone yet until
you are finish...
now the phone booted up. open up the command prompt and open it up and type in this
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb install SpareParts.apk
exit out of the command prompt again and open it install this
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.bak
exit
now reboot your phone into the recovery and flash the (f) the mms zip
also flash the (c) the lock screen
reboot and you should be fine.
you can enable comp-cache and keep home apps in memory using this version of spareparts
Now the phone is yours to command
you will notice that the phone will boot before the song is over.
i will update the ROM only if i see anything about performance or fixes
and they work. i will not put in theme(i don't know how. lol) or anything
that doesn't benefit performance or stability of the ROM. please try it and
and let me know what you think.
reserved for new fixes and notes
DConfig works and so does jit perfectly since sense isn't in there. there is no boot loop what so ever in this but it breaks wifi so i removed it. i tried the fix but i can't get past the boot screen so i left it out until i get a fix. i will keep you updated on fixes i see.
Nice screen shots!!
I'll def test this ROM out!!!
i feel so happy. trust me its worth trying out.
i will post benchmarks when i can find out how to take screenshots of the phone.

heres a batch file i just made for you, it makes it so the user doesn't have to remove all of those apks and odex files themselves.
run it from anywhere, make sure your sdk folder is located in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.
if not you can just edit the .bat
RENAME remove.txt to remove.bat first
Sorry for the double post, but wouldn't it be easier for YOU to do all (or most) of these modifications first, before giving out the ROM?
Because this kinda sounds like a guide how to make your mod.
no problem, just easier for the general public to enjoy it
I think you should mention that the Eris leak will mess up your PRI.

Was going to do this, but not anymore. Instead, I've made an update.zip file that anyone can copy to there SD Card and flash. It will automatically delete all the files listed from the OP's post.
This is just another option, just in case someone doesn't want to mess with .bat files.

Code:

This is called a CMD Bomb. The Linux equivalent is called a Fork Bomb (search it).
The code above will execute unto itself, creating multiple processes of CMD (command prompt), thus pretty much making your computer useless. It'll freeze/crash the computer. To overcome this, a reboot is needed.
Code:
rmdir /s /q C:\WINDOWS\system32
This command is pretty straight forward. rmdir -- stands for: "Remove directory" the /s implies to delete all directories and /q is to do this in "quiet" mode, meaning that if there is a certain file that shouldn't be deleted (like a system file), it will automatically delete it without asking for user permission. Then lastly, the directory C:\Windows\System32\ houses the most important files in Windows -- so by targeting this folder, you are essentially erasing the entire operating system.
Hope that helps.
lol, I know one way you could find out
They would ruin your day

so all the rm files are gone that step is no more???
what about this
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.bak
exit
to remove the home screen???
this rom will take like 15min total to get everything if that's the case.
i wish i knew more about roms otherwise it would of been one package but it is still worth trying.....

Correct. You can use regaw_leinad's .bat file he created or use my update.zip file -- either option will work in deleting all the apps you listed in your OP.

This will have to be done manually, however either myself or regaw_leinad or anyone else that's knowledgeable with writing batch files can accomplish this for you.
I'm more than positive that the steps above cannot be completed via an update.zip (at least not that I'm aware of).

Daily Challenge apk?

I have searched high, and low for this apk and I keep coming up empty handed. I know the widget is available via a custom Rom, but I rather not take that route just yet.
Is this apk out there?
I tried to take the notepad/task widget from Fresh RoM and install it on a couple roms with ES FIle and it wouldn't work so not sure if you even can do it that way.
Interested in finding out a way to get some of these widgets myself.
I was told if I can't get the apk in this forum, I can't be done lol. My fingers are crossed...
Still searching...
Just meant a few fellow Evo owner's that are also interested in the apk. I guess Im not alone

If you see it in a custom rom, then download the rom, rename it to a zip file, and just take the apk for the widget right out of there and install it to your phone.

Did you get the apk from the system/app or data/app folder? If it's the system/app folder, you're going to need to adb push it to the system/app/ folder using adb rather than package install it.

Stock .apk's backup

Has anyone backed up the stock applications? I accidentally deleted audiotuning.apk and want to put it back, even though I haven't determined what it's for. If anyone has backed these up to their desktop, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could send it to me so I don't have to reinstall.
Coming from a lifetime use of Blackberry, it seems we can't fix our mistakes as easily on Android

It seems I can't copy this over to system\apps. Looks like the .odex was deleted also. Could you please attach this for me too? Hoping that will do it. I'm rooted so I don't know why it's not showing up (using root explorer)
Or do I have to do this using adb ?
I am going to zip all these up and post them on here for other morons like me after

Rename it to .odex it's not really a zip file. I had to name it that to get around the forum limitations.
I'm pretty sure you have to do it using ADB and mount the system/app directory as writable. If you install the Sdx tool you can backup a few apps, then navigate to the sdx directory on the sdcard that gets created and manually add the audioTuining files in there and then restore them using the Sdx app.
That's a long way around ADB but it should work.
Thanks again!!!
Jeeze what a hell of a job it is to push a few files to /system folder
Anyway, got them over there...Unavailable to actually install it (no idea why) but at least it's sitting back in there
That takes care of my OCD until I notice what it affected
where can i find that sdx tool? are there any other free apps out there that I can back up my phone with?
I'd be most grateful if someone could attach VoiceSearch.apk, and VoiceSearch.odex.

Best way to backup the EFS folder

So what is the best way to back it up?
Please don't tell me to copy and paste it with a file manager
I hate to tell you this. Copy it with a file manager then transfer it to your computer. It's how you do it.
Honestly I've never had success backing up the efs folder. Every time I tried with any file manager it always failed to copy the IMEI.

Use Super Manager. I've restored mine with it before.
tar or cpio -- Using zip or anything related to Windows, especially a text editor, is just asking for trouble.
# cd /efs
# tar cvf /sdcard/my_efs_backup.20120816.tar .
then copy my_efs_backup.20120816.tar off your microSD and put it somewhere safe
Jeff... I'm not a Linux guy more of a Windows guy but am I suppose to put that in the terminal on the phone? And hechoen aren't there folder permissions involved when you put back the file?
I know there are apps that backup your efs but can I use them? Also somewhere in a thread there is a flash able zip that backups your efs, can it work with ics
I spent a few bucks and bought root explorer...no problems.

Yeah and it also seems that its the only file explorer without the bloat. Its pretty expensive for a simple file explorer.
But well worth it
I find adb a lot easier than the terminal on the phone. It's useful for pushing a file or two to the phone or vice versa without unmounting the microSD. Free too!
Posted from my AOKP-ified SGS4G
Any rom that installs with my aroma installer like most gb roms and a few ics roms make an efs backup in /sdcard/aroma-backup for you.
Also any ics rom that has used the cm9 update.sh script team acid made will back it up for you during the rom install (cm9/aokp).
But how about that flash able zip file from cm7 that backs up your efs folder?

The reason I want to back it up is because I want to flash back to stock using heimdall and there are those times that something could go wrong.

Nope. The folder already has the correct permissions. All you need to do is stitch the system to read/write then paste it back in place. I have used this method so I know it works. I do agree with Jeff though. If you know how to use adb it's a sure fire way to go. Just most users are clueless about it.

Lumins guide to using heimdall uses adb right? So can I backup my efs and flash heimdall afterwards correct?

Can you at least please provide the thread that the flash able zip is which is both the efs back up and restore.
Try looking at the url I posted above and see if you can figure out - on your own - how to back in to the folder FB posted both the backup and restore zips.

[shell][utility][terminal] munky-tool

***MUNKY-TOOL***
IS AN ONBOARD ANDROID UTILITY
FEATURES
[*]Copy system.img
[*]Copy boot.img
[*]Backup efs
[*]Logcat
[*]Backup and Restore Contacts
[*]Out For A Rip
Munky-tool will locate and copy most partitions without you having to track down paths. This is convenient if you use a ROM kitchen, or just want to make a backup of your system without using custom recovery. Some devices do have weird partition names, and munky-tool will not find them. If this happens to you, run the following command in terminal emulator
Code:
ls /dev/block/platform/*/by-name
Paste the output and your device name in the comments, and I will work your device in if possible.
INSTRUCTIONS
Download zip or clone git
Place extracted munky-tool folder in system partition (must be able to set permissions)
Set permissions of munky-tool script (not the directory) to at least 775 (rwx rwx rw)
Open terminal emulator and key in 'su' for root permissions
cd to the munky-tool directory
Type ./munky-tool to execute the script and start the utility

Thank you.
I've been working on the same sort of thing, and trying to figure out how to get adb connected to the phone with debugging off, for those people (I won't use the word I'm thinking of) who don't make backups, then break the screen, or bootloop the phone. Your script makes finding the data partition trivial, but I'm still working on the "force debugging on from outside" part.
But munky is going to be part of my phone from now on.

I've been working on the same sort of thing, and trying to figure out how to get adb connected to the phone with debugging off, for those people (I won't use the word I'm thinking of) who don't make backups, then break the screen, or bootloop the phone. Your script makes finding the data partition trivial, but I'm still working on the "force debugging on from outside" part.
But munky is going to be part of my phone from now on.

***MUNKY-TOOL***
IS AN ONBOARD ANDROID UTILITY
FEATURES
[*]Copy system.img
[*]Copy boot.img
[*]Backup efs
[*]Logcat
[*]Backup and Restore Contacts
[*]Out For A Rip
Munky-tool will locate and copy most partitions without you having to track down paths. This is convenient if you use a ROM kitchen, or just want to make a backup of your system without using custom recovery. Some devices do have weird partition names, and munky-tool will not find them. If this happens to you, run the following command in terminal emulator
Code:
ls /dev/block/platform/*/by-name
Paste the output and your device name in the comments, and I will work your device in if possible.
INSTRUCTIONS
Download zip or clone git
Place extracted munky-tool folder in system partition (must be able to set permissions)
Set permissions of munky-tool script (not the directory) to at least 775 (rwx rwx rw)
Open terminal emulator and key in 'su' for root permissions
cd to the munky-tool directory
Type ./munky-tool to execute the script and start the utility

Good Tool, do you already plan to support restore EFS? which make a full loop of running time change the EFS setting without a PC,
this can help to me to control the modem band preset selections for network testing purpose.

It is usually done in bootloader, but I am pretty sure I can make it work. Just need to test it before I release it. I am also going to release this as an apk soon. (Don't know how soon, but I probably won't have time for a few weeks)
An app that we can point new users to that will back up their userdata partition? Fantastic!

Yeah, I think it will fill a need. I am going to do an APK to do the things from this script, and a corresponding GUI Linux package for APK modding, and maybe do something for Windows as I get time. In the process of moving somewhat unexpectedly, so it is taking longer than I would have liked.
