Terminal Emulator Update

There is an update for Terminal Emulator in the market I am wondering how you can uninstall it from JF 1.41 RC33 in order to get the update

you can use in terminal
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock03 /system
rm /system/app/com.android.term.apk
or navigate to system/app
rm com.android.term.apk
It will close the terminal right away for obvious reasons and then you can load the one from the market.
Just tested it and it works and doesn't seem to have any adverse affects. Mine is still working
I dont see any difference in the app to me looks the same no changes that I can tell.

I keep getting permission denied

are you type su first before mounting the image to get full superuser access.
The only difference we have if your signature is right is that im running the 1.41 RC33 but i was able to remove any apks i wanted this same way when i was on RC30

Yeah I typed su and got the superuser going... Maybe I am just oo much of a noob at this I am running the new JF RC33 update too

make sure that you are not typing anything in quotes "quotes just to show spaces" this is where i had the most problems when i started using this code
su
mount "space" -o "space" rw,remount "space" -t "space" yaffs2 "space" /dev/block/mtdblock03 "space" /system
then the long way
cd system
cd app
rm com.android.term.apk
that might help

Sweet I got it working thanks a million

Is there any reason why the new version is better than the one we have already?

not a problem.
I personally dont see any difference in it but everything still seems to be working

Pushing without adb?

Sorry if this has been covered,but how would I go about pushing a file by using the phone only?Is that possible to do in a terminal?And if so what commands would be used.Thanks

all you'd need to do is go into a terminal, then su, mount with rw permissions, then cp file /path/to/destination

and how do I mount with permissions?that's what I was missing,thanks

Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Go to Market and search for SU file manager or check out http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-protocol-su-fbs-jmwq.aspx
It's not free, but it's cheap, and has pretty much replaced all the file explorer/editor/utility-type apps I used to screw around with. For all intents and purposes, you can use it to do just about anything you'd otherwise need adb to do.

TypeFresh good to go on 2.1?

As the title states, is TypeFresh good to go on rooted 2.1 on an X10i? The huge fonts are killing me

It wouldn't reboot for me so I've just used RootExplorer instead.

It worked fine for me, both apps (Typefresh and Andexplorer) where installed from the market.

Thanks for all the links my friend.

I always use this method to change my fonts:
1. I pick the font I want and I copy the regular and bold version on my SD.
2. I rename the regular to DroidSans.ttf and the bold to DroidSans-Bold.ttf.
3. Then, on my phone, using a Terminal application, I type:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
chmod 4755 /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf
dd if=/sdcard/DroidSans.ttf of=/system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf
chmod 4755 /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf
dd if=/sdcard/DroidSans-Bold.ttf of=/system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf
4. Reboot!
5. Enjoy!!

I tried to change it by the Terminal but it says adb not found.Please help how can I overcome this problem.

If you can't get Typefresh to reboot please try the following: Install the latest Busybox from the market. This fixed the problem for a friend of mine.

good for i think there is some problem with my root, type fresh says cannot remount system. which root method did you use. i recently updated my x10i to 2.1 global generic and rooted with one click 1.5. titanium says ok and su too working. but still i cannot wrewrite or copy paste files. help will be appreciated.

I used the same method. The first time you run Typefresh you have to give permission, this will cause Typefresh to 'cannot remount sytem' , when you retry it works

Ooops...! Sorry! My bad! The correct commands are:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
chmod 4755 /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf
dd if=/sdcard/DroidSans.ttf of=/system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf
chmod 4755 /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf
dd if=/sdcard/DroidSans-Bold.ttf of=/system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf

Hi.It works like a charm.Thanks for sharing!

Or just copy and paste using RootExplorer or similar. TF can be a bit temperamental at times, was in 1.6 and is in 2.1.

works perfectly for me... running sony sketch..... no more large letters in 2.1

[GUIDE] Enable/Disable HTC Virtual CDROM

I personally hate the automounting CDROM image with HTC software. I know it's fairly common knowledge how to disable it but below are the commands for anyone that cares. Make sure android debugging is enabled and enter the applicable command in your computer's terminal. As with other /system edits, this will only stick if you have S-OFF. You may need your phone screen unlocked to accept the su prompt if you haven't already granted ADB root access.
Disable HTC Virtual CDROM:
Code:
adb shell su root -c "mount -o remount,rw /system /system; mv /system/etc/CDROM.ISO /system/etc/CDROM.ISO.bak; mount -o remount,ro /system /system"
Re-Enable HTC Virtual CDROM:
Code:
adb shell su root -c "mount -o remount,rw /system /system; mv /system/etc/CDROM.ISO.bak /system/etc/CDROM.ISO; mount -o remount,ro /system /system"

i didnt know

I didn't know either... thanks!:good:

Never even crossed my ind to remove that annoying "feature"
Cheers man

Any particular reason to not simply rename the file cdrom. iso.bak or just delete it?
Transmitted from the holodeck of my HTC One M8.

Nope, I'm in IT so I always rename and not delete for small files. Personal preference.

I had no idea. Thanks so much

Nice. So glad to get rid of that stupid thing. I wanted to do that before but couldn't find where the file was located. Worked great. Thanks alot!

Thanks, just used root explore, found the file, and just added .bak to it.

Put a bootable Linux rescue ISO in there :angel:

unfortunately, I can't find that file. it exist because the silly CD popups every time I plug my phone in, but the .iso isn't in system/etc. my phone seems to be slightly stupid when doing a search. Oh well. Good info to have. Thanks for posting the instructions. I appreciate it.

I'm trying to mount my /system using the following commands in Terminal Emulator:
su
mount -rw /system
When I try and type the chmod line above, I keep getting the message:
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
What am I doing wrong to mount the /system file in order to perform the chmod command? I've also used ~/system, same result.....it's probably something super simple, but I'm flummoxed. Any assist would be appreciated, thanks!

The currect syntax is
mount -o remount,rw /system
?

It never even occurred to me that android is vulnerable!! I hope Google patches this in AOSP Android L!!

I have in /system/xbin an old bash file ( coming with the ROM), I must overwrite it or that's enough?

i hope the cm team will include this

Android will never be vulnerable (unless installed unpatched bash)

If the original bash is patched (no need) just copy it as bash-arm
If it's not patched (overwrite it)
