Wrong section.
Follow this layout
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/<apk name>
adb uninstall <package name>
adb shell rm /cache/dalvik-cache/*package name*

Hi guys!
Anybody that is using that Rom will find out that in some apps (nostly shell ones), the keyboard doesnt work properly.
As i asked in the thread, and didn't get an answer, i tried myself and found a solution:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
adb shell reboot
The functioning HTC_IME.apk can be found here:

Hope i could help a bit, as the Community helped me getting a real cool phone

I tried this and it messed up the keyboard. I had to re-flash. Is this supposed to fix not having predictive text in sms? Cause that's my problem. Other than that the rom is flawless.
so did anyone else try this?
i love the hero_over rom but i want my predictive text back. otherwise the best rom i have used thus far.
Hey guys, I happen to really like the lockscreen on a vanilla Android phone like the Samsung moment. Is there any way I can get that on my HTC hero? I'm currently running fresh 1.1.
Thanks
try this. i'm not completely sure if it works though.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk

confirmed. it works. no more swipe to unlock though.
thanks, by the way. wanted this one for a while now.
edit: I just renamed the apk in SUFBS. did the trick.
i'm sorry i'm pretty new to this and so far i've avoided using codes.
what program would i use to enter those codes?

saw this in another thread. it will help get you started. download the sdk tools then follow these directions.
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5518396&postcount=4
alright i will thanks man!
what about a taskbar?
i'm sorry for the double post, but what exactly would i enter into the command prompt? everything i've tried doesnt work..
thank you!
I have been wondering if I deleted/renamed that file if i could load a Clear lockscreen and than have that.
how would i get rid of how it is clear instead of a lockscreen background?

In ADB run

mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system/media
mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.zip.bak
reboot
Kaw202,
Thanks for your help. I'm a newbie. I do not understand your description of the procedure. Would you please describe it in another way for a newbie. Does this means that I have to root the phone

Sorry you do need root.
Also if you are rooted just download a terminal emulator and type the commands one at a time and hit enter after each one.

What do you mean "in ADB run" ?
what is "su" ?
what is "mount -o remount,rw /system "?
what is "cd /system/media"
what is mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.zip.bak ?

If you want to do things with your phone over and above what a 'normal' user can do then you need to do some reading and have at least some understanding of what you are doing. I would advise you don't alter anything if you don't understand the commands above as its very easy to do damage from the command line once rooted.
If you want to go ahead then please do gain more knowledge first so you don't mess up your phone.
I totally agree to that what Scott said.
But i'll help you where you can find some basic material.
Here you have one of a few basic guides on ADB. Also a few linux commands are mentioned. Here you'll find more detailed information on Linux commands.
Instead of installing the whole Android SDK as explained in above mentioned link i would recommend you to use Minimal ADB and Fastboot
If you have problems with the Native Motorla ADB drivers you can use the Universal ADB Drivers
You can also use Terminal Emulator (Play Store) as kaw202 already explained. Then installing Driver and Minimal ADB and fastboot is not necessay. But still i would recommend you to do that.
These are only a few links. There are much more guides here on XDA if you use the search function while typing the keywords into it

Thanks for your response and warning. The info in your message is what I need. I want to learn. Once I understand the process of gaining some control and manipulating the phone, I shall make decision of whether to proceed or not.

I was told to run the following command to stop auto updates:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.hwouc

If I want to turn them back on, does anyone know how would I do that?
Also, I presume that Oreo is the latest version for the L29 (I'm on US version). No Pie. IS that correct?

Would doing a factory reset accomplish what I want?
That command uninstalled the system updates apk, but didn't permanently remove it.
Use: adb shell cmd package install-existing <name of package>

Thanks. I really appreciate the help.
I ran the command like this:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.huawei.android.hwouccls

Try without a hyphen.

That was it, but of course, still another catch. JFYI...I did enter the command this way:
adb shell cmd package install existing com.huawei.android.hwouccls

Then I got this message:

I thought that interesting. Anyway, I tried a search for com.huawei.android.hwouccls on my phone from what was listed as \ and found nothing. So I have no idea what to list as the size. And then there will be the syntax to do so.
I hate having to be so needy. Since I stopped rooting and using custom ROMS, my skills have seriously rusted.
I should add that I searched for com.huawei.android.hwouccls with App Inspector as mentioned in your link, and don't find it. My phone is not rooted...maybe that has something to do with that.
SOLVED
Hi all,
After getting the Watch 4 Classic, I deleted some stuff I thought I didn't need. So I deleted the Buds Controller app. I reconsidered though, and ordered the Buds 2, however I can't find the Buds Controller app on either the Play Store, Galaxy Store or apkmirror. Anyone some hints to get that app back without having to reset the Watch?
Solution:
Open a shell on the watch with adb shell
When the shell is started, enter:
pm install-existing com.samsung.android.watch.budscontroller

The BudsController apk is still on the watch in:
/system/preload/BudsController/BudsController.apk
You should be able to reinstall that.

For some reason, it's not finding it for me.
I uninstalled it by long pressing on the app, and clicked uninstall.

So did I. When you adb shell into the phone, can you then do a:
pm install /system/preload/BudsController/BudsController.apk
?
Or when you in the adb shell do:
cd /system/preload
Followed by:
ls -al
What do you see then?

This is what I see
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-12-31 10:00 BudsController
So, it sees it there. When I try and install with the steps above, it fails, and gives this.
$ pm install /system/preload/BudsController/BudsController.apk
Failure [-3001: INSTALL_FAILED_REJECTED_BY_BUILDTYPE]

Try install-existing instead of install, normal install is possible for normal apps but system apps from what I have seen, throw buildtype error

Ah. Didn't even think about that. I factory reset my watch earlier, so it's back again now. Haha. I'll keep this in mind though.

Haha i had the same. Factory reset is reasonably fast though.
Before that i spent too much time searching the "BUDS" app which deleted myself.
Too late but It's in the Play Store
