If anybody is interested I split the busybox man page up into lots of different text files and wrote a small script to call less on them when the 'man' command is invoked (because I missed having man pages in the terminal)
[UPDATE] Added install script because updating ROMS removes files and I don't want to types this crap everytime I update my ROM.
Using Install script:
Extract man_pages.zip and place folder on sdcard
$ sh /sdcard/man_pages/man_install (as root of course)
Using ADB to install:
Extract man_pages.zip onto Desktop
$ adb remount
$ adb push Desktop/man_pages/man.txt to /system/bin
$ adb push Desktop/man_pages/man /system/usr/share/man
$ adb shell
# mv /system/bin/man.txt /system/bin/man
# chmod 755 /system/bin/man
# exit
Using your phone to install:
Put Extracted man_pages.zip folder in /sdcard
$ mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
$ cp /sdcard/man_pages/man.txt /system/bin/man
$ chmod 755 /system/bin/man
$ cp -r /sdcard/man_pages/man /system/usr/share/
$ mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Usage:
$ man [program]
If no program name is given, all possible options are listed (highly
recommended that you pipe it through more).
$ man | more # enter for next line, space for next page.
When viewing a man page use the following to navigate:
back one page: 'b'
back half page : 'u'
backward one line: 'return', 'e' or 'j'
forward one page: 'space' or 'f'
forward half page:: 'd'
forward one line: 'k' or 'y'
quit: 'q'
Updated files [6-22-09]
-renamed ckear.man to clear.man (just in case anybody forgot how to
invoke 'clear')
-updated man script to show possible pages when invoked with no
argument.
-combined files to one zip file which includes an installer script)
Known Issues:
-Formatting is corrupted when using through adb shell on Windows machine (affects the entire instance of cmd.exe).
thx a ton for this...
i, for one, really appreciate it!
bump for night crew.
also, I added this to the informative threads list
A few other noob tips
This is awesome! Thanks so much!
A few helpful tips:
--If you get the "cannot copy: Read-only file system" error when you're trying to push the files in adb, enter:
adb remount
--From within a man page, hit spacebar to scroll forward, b to scroll back, and q to quit.
Thanks ohnoezmafone for the tips. Didn't even think of noobs wanting man pages, but I guess they need them more than anybody. I added them to the post as well as a few more and cleaned it up for people that need steps to follow. I also included an install script and changed the man script to output all possible pages when invoked with no argument.
Very helpful, thank you.
what are man pages?

man is short for manual
describes usage information for executables, config files, etc
so, if you wanted usage information for the "ping" command, type
man ping
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_page
cool
I'm gonna try it. If it works as well as in linux I'm gonna cook it in my future releases.
Thanks. When I think the forums full of takers, I come across a giver.
I'm getting some really messed up formatting. I installed via the ADB method.

You did nothing wrong, just tried it myself. Its a bug. Works fine using adb from linux(gentoo) or from command prompt on phone itself. But apparently "less" screws up cmd.exe when using adb from windows(xp). I'd say leave it as "more" if your gonna use it through adb shell on a windows box.
Honestly when I did this I never even thought about using it through adb shell. I would switch it to "more" myself but "less" is traditional and besides "more" is less and "less" is more.

Hey Guys, what sprint apps are you tired of removing? I am going to remove whatever the consensus shows, and upload a flashable zip of dc2.06... nothing else will be different and the only credit I will take is for removing the apps, all else goes to the original people who worked on dc.
So, let me know and I will be removing them!
Flickr
Twitter
NFL
Navigation
TV
Stock
NASCAR
I will keep count of who requests what to be removed in the next post. I'll only wait for bout an hour then remove whatever you guys want removed.
Remove:
03 - NASCAR
01 - Sprint TV
01 - NFL
01 - Peep
01 - IM
NASCAR
please
Normally removed, so all good...
- Nascar
- NFL
- SprintTV
Tired of removing...
- Peep
- IM
Tired of having to add back in...
- Footprints
- Stocks
- Teeter
- Sprint Navigation - it rocks and better than Google Nav in my opinion. Works (and sounds) much more like a Garmin.

Agreed with this, but also tired of having to add voice recorder back...not sure why all devs delete it.
you know what though guys. It's easier just to create a script of our own with our own selection and it's a matter of just running that. That's simple enough i think. Just create a DOS bat file.
Create a text file and save it as RemoveStock.bat and save it where ever it's accessible easily via command prompt. Have these lines in it:
adb remount
adb shell rm system/app/*Stock*
adb shell rm system/app/IM.apk
adb shell rm system/app/*Facebook*
adb shell rm system/app/Flickr.apk
adb shell rm system/app/Mail.apk
adb shell rm system/app/htcmailwidgets.apk
adb shell rm system/app/Sprint_Navigation.apk
adb shell rm system/app/Sprint_NFL.apk
adb shell rm system/app/Sprint_Nscar.apk
adb shell rm system/app/HTCNew.apk
if you already have adb in your path, just double click this file to run it. If not, place this in the adb tools directory and double click from there.

nah dude. Intention was not that. I'm sure you figured out by now that if you were to create a common ROM that with the most unwanted apps removed, it would only consist of the NFL, Nascar, and Navigation wiped. The rest are a toss up for almost all users. It'll be hard for you to please all. So I was just suggesting this, thats all.
Any efforts for help are appreciated. So more power to you.

And my rom is gonna have that stuff out too, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't make what you're making, because I know a lot of people who DO want a slimmed down version of DC 2.06 and don't know how.

If you put it in the tools folder with adb, just type the name of the file into adb to execute. Or you can just click on the .bat file.
I couldn't get jackals commands to work right so I had to do it a little different.
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

Thanks, I appreciate it.
I thought you weren't supposed to delete IM.apk because it had some other dependencies throughout some other apps. is this no longer true?
...because I just killed it based on you guys doing it.
Since this thread got jacked, if anyone wants my work you can contact me. Thanks. I am done here.
Don't let these guys get to you. I and others are very interested in what you are doing!!
I adb pushed some .apks from a Froyo zip onto my mytouch1.2 but they didnt work...
when I try to uninstall them I get a failure message... and when I try adb shell... blah blah blah..."ls" the files arent there...
any help is appreciated
how to uninstall
I've tried a few methods.
The one I've found that works the best is this : mv <source> <destination> ...it's supposed to be a move command but it actually deletes files. rm also likely does the same (eg rm <filename.filetype OR foldername>)
BEFORE using these commands though, type in
adb shell <enter>
cd <foldername> <enter>
cd <foldername> <enter>....to get to folder (directory) of your choice
**TO get to app directory to uninstall apps, do cd system -->cd app -->mv appname.apk
I use the /sdcard as the destination for the mv command - I noticed the files NEVER get moved so this is just a delete command.
You could also delete a whole folder with this command. do cd system
mv app /sdcard
(this would delete the entire app folder/directory from the device).
That's pretty much it. Works for me. Was trial and error though - adb uninstall command ALWAYS resulted in 'failure ' or 'file not found' and the same with adb shell --> # uninstall appname.apk ---> 'failure'.
So I hope this works for you! Good luck .
str8arrow
NOTE: I've had an awful time because my stupid tablet has refused to download things from the market. It stalls in the initial 'starting download' bit and then just hangs, and then says 'download failed'. Apparently there's some problem with the sync'ing but I can't log into Gmail or GoogleTalk to try to resolve this (Gmail won't allow me to enter anything - left it on overnight and it said 'getting mail' / 'sync in progress' and the sync never completed after 12 hrs. The GoogleTalk app just displayed a black screen. So I am getting nowhere.
if anyone knows how to fix this pls let me know. I'm apparently not the only one. Others /various tablets have had similar issues - I have a 7" BPDN (Pandigital black novel).
Please, help!
str8arrow
adb shell <enter>
then
cd system
cd app
mv <filename.apk> <destination> (this should move the file BUT it never shows up in destination or elsewhere, so this is effectively a delete command, you could also do mv <foldername> <destination> to delete a whole folder.
**I usu. use /sdcard as my destination. so mv filename.apk /sdcard
OR
cd system
cd app
rm <filename.filetype> does the same sort of thing.
(eg adb shell <enter>
**I tried the uninstall commands listed but.. (adb uninstall-->'failure', or 'file not found' etc, adb shell --> uninstall --> same error).
Commands for removing apps.
I run as root on all my OS's, so I don't have to navigate to my sdk directory. I just type "adb devices", I don't know how your adb is setup, but get adb running and run these commands.
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/app/whatever.apk
Or whatever path you pushed the files to. Try running fix_permissions to make your apps run properly and stop FC issues

sweetnsour for his extensively detailed thread
Shen - advice
Zayed from www.addictivetips.com
http://www.linuxtopia.org
This guide aims to give you a background on some of the linux commands available to you once you obtain an adb shell.
In order to obtain an ADB shell, you must have adb set up on your computer (all ADB really consists of in windows is adb + 2 dlls + adb drivers.
However it makes sense to fully set up the Android SDK if you plan on developing for Android.
You need to install adb or get Terminal Emulator. To install adb and get more info about it visit here.
NOTE = All commands in linux/unix are CASE SENSITIVE.
Shell Commands
These commands are to be typed after typing
Code:
adb shell
In the Command Prompt.
Or, you can proceed normally if you are using a Terminal Emulator.
1. cd - Change Directory
To change to any directory, simply type:
Code:
cd <dirname>
dir name is the path. For instance, to switch to system/etc, type:
Code:
cd /system/etc
'..' will allow you to go back one directory. In our example, typing:
Code:
cd ..
would take you back to /system
2. ls - List Files
To list all the files in whatever directory you're in, simply type:
Code:
ls
pressing enter after, of course. This will list all NON-HIDDEN files/directories.
Code:
ls /system/etc
will list the contents of system/etc
Code:
ls -l
will list all NON-HIDDEN files in your current directory with additional details
Code:
ls -a
will list all files/directories(including hidden) within your current directory
Code:
ls *.extension
will list all the files wit the specified extension in the directory
For example i wanna list all apps -
Code:
cd /system/app
ls *.apk
3. su - SuperUser
The standard adb shell (unless you're on an insecure kernel/ramdisk), will be a non-root shell ($)
To obtain root priviliges (if your phone is rooted), simply type:
Code:
su
on obtaining superuser priviliges, you will be presented with a # symbol, which represent a root shell.
4. chmod - Change Mode
The two most commonly used 'modes' you'll come across in Android are '777' and '755'
These numerical pemissions have different meanings, of course. This can be a little confusing, so I hope this explains it in a simple to understand way.
As you can see, there are three numbers in the following example; 'chmod 755'
So, to break that down: The first number in the sequence, '7', represents the USER (aka, you). The second number in the sequence, '5', represents the GROUP (users who are members of the file's group) and the third number, '5' represents OTHERS (aka, everyone else).
Now to explain why they are 755, and the significance of those numbers, see the following list:
7 Full
6 Read/Write
5 Read/Execute
4 Read Only
3 Write/Execute
2 Write Only
1 Execute
0 None
So in the instance of 777, you can see that USER, GROUP and OTHERS have FULL access to the file in question.
To change the permissions of one file (apns-conf.xml for example, type:
Code:
chmod 777 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
To change the permissions of all files in a directory, use the -R (recursive)option:
Code:
chmod 777 -R /system/etc
5. pwd - Print Working Directory
Couldn't be more simple. if you want to find out which dirctory you're currently in, type:
Code:
pwd
and press enter.
6. cat - Concatenate (evolved from)
The cat command if used to list a file's contents on your screen; or pass via pipeline to use with other Linux commands.
cat /proc/mounts
will output the various mount points in your android OS.
Note that there are many other uses for the cat command.
7. mount - remount as r/w or r/o
The mount command is used to mount a directory as r/w[Read-Write which allows you to modify it] or r/o[Read-Only]
Mount info -
Code:
mount
To mount as r/w and r/o respectively use -
Code:
mount -o remount rw <dirname>
or
mount -o remount ro <dirname>
To mount /system i will use
Code:
mount -o remount rw /system
or
mount -o remount ro /system
8. cp, mv, rm - Copy, Move, Remove
Use the 'cp' and 'mv' commands to copy, move a file/directory respectively and 'rm' to remove one. They are equivalent to copy+paste and cut+paste and delete
If you are planning to copy/move/remove from your android to anywhere else or viceversa you need to mount as r/w prior to this and mount as r/o after it.
They can be used as
Code:
cp <source> <destination>
or
mv <source> <destination>
or
rm <source>
For example i wanna copy/move/delete my zip file to system/media [after mounting system]
Code:
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip system/media
or
mv /sdcard/bootanimation.zip system/media
or
rm /sdcard/bootanimation.zip
9. Auto - Install Applications To SDCard
Type the following -
Code:
pm setInstallLocation 2
10. logcat
A logcat is basically a command to view messages in one of the system logs.
Logcat is the command to view the internal log of the Android system.
Viewing logcat is often the best way - and sometimes the only way - to diagnose a problem.
Dev's always need proper and useful feedback. So if you are testing something, you can always obtain the errors an report back to the dev who in turn can solve your problem efficiently.
Code:
su
logcat > /sdcard/log.txt
Will obtain the logcat to your sdcard as log.txt
Googlers have a sense of humour so even 'lolcat' works identically as 'logcat'
Code:
lolcat
Some dev's require extensive logcat info. To know more about it continue reading here.
ADB Commands
The following commands are to be type in your adb folder directory.
For instance, mine is in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools so i will type
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
and then proceed with the following code lines
Alternatively you can change your PATH variable
Setting Path on Windows
For Windows XP:
Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced
Click on Environment Variables, under System Variables, find PATH, and click on it.
In the Edit windows, modify PATH by adding the location of the class to the value for PATH. If you do not have the item PATH, you may select to add a new variable and add PATH as the name and the location of the class as the value.
Close the window.
For Windows Vista/Windows 7:
Right click “My Computer” icon
Choose “Properties” from context menu
Click “Advanced” tab (“Advanced system settings” link in Vista)
In the Edit windows, modify PATH by adding the location of the class to the value for PATH. If you do not have the item PATH, you may select to add a new variable and add PATH as the name and the location of the class as the value.

1. Check Connected Phone
To display list of available devices, type
Code:
adb devices
You will get the following output
Code:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached 21342737ft6273
where the number indicates your devices serial number usually the one one the back of your phone[needs citation]
2. Login To Android Shell
Code:
adb shell
After pressing enter you will either see '$' or '#'
If you get ‘#’ after typing adb shell, you have already get root access on the phone, no need to type su. Otherwise if you get ‘$’ , type ’su’ to get root access (only for rooted device).
3. Install Application
This command installs the app whose directory is specified by you.
Code:
adb install appname.apk
Note that the name of the application should be without any blank spaces in between. Say i have an app called pes 12.apk, I rename it to pes_12.apk - Also don't miss out the .apk extension
example
Code:
adb install C:\programfiles\pes_12.apk
4. Files From Phone To PC And Vice Versa
For Phone - PC
Code:
adb pull <source> <destination>
For PC-Phone
Code:
adb push <source> <destination>
Example
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/bootanimation.zip C:\programfiles
Code:
adb push C:\programfiles\bootanimation.zip /sdcard
^Self Explanatory
5. Reboot To (Normal/Recovery/Bootloader)
Type the following to reboot normally or to recovery/bootloader respectively
Code:
adb reboot
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Some Useful Codes-
I do not know many. If you have any suggestions please do tell me
Type them in line by line and don't type in the '$' and '#'
1. Rooting
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
$ echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
Then you can proceed onto using SuperOneClick
2. Installing Custom Recovery
The recovery.img and flash_image files must be in /sdcard
Code:
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount rw /system
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/xbin/flash_image
# chmod 755 /system/xbin/flash_image
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
# mount -o remount ro /system
# exit
$ exit
adb reboot recovery
Will add FAQ later if needed
Ohh ! so much detail !
As far as i can see its very well written.
Will read tomorrow

and how to uninstall app from adb ?
nice guide btw
Great guide. I would suggest you add details on how to get logcat as well, since many developers will find it useful if users post logs of bugs
Code:
su
logcat > /sdcard/log.txt

I was successfully able to root my Kindle HD 10 using This guide, but I noticed that KingoRoot leaves some things behind, ever after you undo the root. Specifically, I ran "du -a" before and after and discovered these things are still on my Kindle:
KingoRoot Link app
VidMate app
Some mysterious tracking IDs in /sdcard
Here are the commands to remove these:
Code:
adb uninstall com.kingoapp.link
adb uninstall com.nemo.vidmate
adb rm -rf /sdcard/VidMate
adb rm -rf /sdcard/.a
adb rm -rf /sdcard/.DataStorage
adb rm -rf /sdcard/.UTSystemConfig

Good job !!
there is a barely visible checkbox in the left bottom corner which is labelled something like 'install recommended software'. i unchecked this before applying root / unroot and didn't get VidMate and the other things installed. maybe coincidence?
Kingoroot never really seemed to add the Vidmate app onto my device. I can't seem to find the app. Does Kingoroot simply install Vidmate like a normal app or a system app?
Those commands don't work; they're missing the word shell:
adb shell rm -rf /sdcard/.UTSystemConfig
There's also a "pure cleaner" it installs without being asked to. You can see it in the accessibility settings page. You need to go into app management, all apps, then uninstall "cleaner".
