Ok I will put all my questions here rather than starting multiple threads.
I dont use twitter, Facebook, Flicker., Peep, Teeter, Footprints, Google Talk, LearnMore, Stocks... Is there any way to remove any of these and reduce the number of screens down to 3 or 5? I love the ROM but it is painfully slow some times and even after I task kill some processes come back. It would be nice the get a striped down rom and add the features that you like and make a backup.
Can we extract those for future distributions or cooking our own ROM's?.. the weather, clock, contacts and calendar widgets are the best out there. Love the office, wifi tether and flash implementations.
With WinCE there were kitchens and OEM's making custom ROMs easy to build. Is there something like that for Android???
At last... Can the apps be installed on the SD card instead? I never remove the card.
Using testsign,jar and adb you could remove SOME of the apps you want to.None of the google ones can be removed or you get process.gapps.com error and cant sign in to google.it really is trial and error really, Ive spent the last 2 weeks working out what i can remove from cyanogenMOD roms!
Can you elaborate on the procedure some more...Im new with Android... I have decent exp in WInCE but this is like learning a whole new world.
Have you been using android sdk at all? Im unsure on what exactly ive done to get it all lol
I could upload my android tools folder which has it all in if that makes it any easier?All i know is now when i right click a zip file it comes up with resign as an option.
I have found a helpfull thread here
I have used the ADk to flash devices not so much for rom building...
My understanding on the process...
get rom...
extract....
figure out what is needed and what is not in the data/app_s folder???
*.apk files ( Android Program Pack....right??? ) and .odex files (BTW what is this file i could not find any information on it.)
resign and repackage...
Flash recovery...
Wipe...
Flash UPDATE.zip...
hope that it works....
That sound right or am I missing something?

Thank you all for your help...
I got the apps uninstalled much easier. =)
SU File Manager & Terminal $$$. It costs money but it is well wort it. Makes editing files on the system much easier. It gives you root access to browse the system.
/data/app_s/...
change what you dont want to *.bak
make sure the system doesn't hang up.
When you are satisfied that its not a vital file move to SD card for later use or delete.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! You can screw up your phone bad... !!!! Its a powerful tool!!!

there's also root explorer.
As i understand removing/adding apps to the app_s or app folder means you can uninstall them. Putting them in system/app means you can clear the data only?
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.

Code:

cmd

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.

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).

I am very curious about this. What exactly is this changing?
Some more details would be appreciated!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I changed the phone ring delay, frequency of the wifi scanning, dalvik vm heap size, delay of the black screen when ending a phone call, the opengles 1.1 file...well you can read about that on the other thread by dearmasfamily
I edited the OP at the top so its more informative/detailed
Not tried it yet, but I think it's pretty cool that stuff like this still comes up this late in the life of the Heroc
Yeah I got this phone for xmas its a MAJOR upgrade from a verizon flip phone from 3 years ago lol So I'm still learning how to program and stuff for the hero but I'll be here helping the heroc community for a LONG WHILE
can't you use adb commands to install these tweaks (for those who don't have root explorer)?
I have adb but I haven't tried doing it that way. If someone can post instruction on how to do it that way that would of great help and I'll credit you in the OP
Also you can look into alternatives for root explorer for editing the system files
i believe it's something like
adb remount
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
reboot
assuming of course put the build.prop in your tools folder
To do these two steps using adb
Navigate to System/lib/egl in root explorer and mount the directory System/lib/egl in r/w mode
paste the file it should prompt you to overwrite the old file. DO SO!
just do
Code:
adb remount
adb push ./libGLES_qcom.so /system/lib/egl
adb remount
^ this is assuming you put the libGLES_qcom.so file in your SDK/tools directory (same one that contains adb - at least the older debug version)
Edit: Also OP what changes were made to the openGL ES lib?
oh wow, i must have upset something. bootloops ahoy

nothing just it is a must that you replace the openGL ES lib 1.0 with the new and working openGL ES lib 1.1 not only because you get better performance from the new openGL and the build.prop but in order to avoid problems with the build.prop you must have that done before hand
And guys this is for sense 2.1
can someone post their aosp/cm6/other roms default build.prop i'll tweak it for you and attach it so that you can avoid the bootlooping and enjoy the speed gains and battery life guys like the rest of us 2.1 sense users

What did I do?
I changed the phone ring delay, frequency of the wifi scanning, dalvik vm heap size, delay of the black screen when ending a phone call for our hero cdma's Then I tested to see if they work and they do
Requirements:
- Rooted HTC Hero CDMA
- Root Explorer (or alternative) or ADB
Instructions (For Root Explorer Users):
Nandroid and backup first just incase something goes wrong (though nothing should go wrong )
Download the qcom.zip from below
Extract it somewhere safe
Copy it to the root of your sd card (example: F:/) and rename it libGLES_qcom (new).so that way you'll know this is the new opengles file
Open root explorer
Navigate to System/lib/egl in root explorer and mount the directory System/lib/egl in r/w mode
copy the libGLES_qcom.so
navigate to the /sdcard and paste it there so you can have a backup if something goes wrong
then copy the libGLES_qcom (new).so
navigate to the system/lib/egl
paste it here
delete the old libGLES_qcom.so
rename the libGLES_qcom (new).so to libGLES_qcom.so
Download the build.prop edited zip from below
extract it somewhere safe
copy the file to the root of your sd card
open root explorer
copy the file
navigate to system/
mount the directory in r/w mode
paste the file
now delete the old build.prop
long press the build (edited).prop and rename it build.prop
now exit root explorer
reboot your phone
ENJOY!
Instructions (For adb Users):
NADROID BACKUP!
connect phone via usb with usb debugging enabled
now open a command prompt
now copy and paste the following code into the command prompt
Code:
cd \AndroidSDK\tools
Then download the qcom.zip from below and extract to the C:/AndroidSDK/tools directory
copy and paste the following codes into the command prompt
Code:
adb remount
adb push ./libGLES_qcom.so /system/lib/egl
adb remount
now download the build prop (edited).zip from below and extract to the C:/AndroidSDK/tools directory as well
rename the file to build.prop
now copy and paste the following code into the command prompt
Code:
adb remount
adb push ./build.prop /system
adb remount
adb reboot
ENJOY
Testing done by me and there are NO BUGS OR FC's found
Enjoy the new smoothness in games and slightly better overall battery life and performance

This build.prop is for android 2.1. You can't just replace yours with this. Try just doing the libGLES_qcom.so file. I'm wondering what was changed there and if it's even compatible with 2.2 or 2.3.
As far as build.prop file you can modify your own file by changing some parameters to change heap size, wifi scanning and such.

kifno, i'm curious about this and definitely willing to give it a shot.
here are the build.prop files from cm6.1 stable, aosp 2.2 version 0.9.9.2, and aosp 2.3 version 0.1.2. i just pulled them directly from the ROM update.zip files.
NOW AVAILABLE FOR CM6.1 STABLE, AOSP FROYO AND GINGERBREAD USERS
I need testers for the cm6.1 stable, aosp froyo and gingerbread build.prop to let me know if there are any problems with their roms because of this. Though there shouldn't be any problems AT ALL
Some credit to the people who made the ROMs that you 'borrowed' the build.prop files from would be nice. Like, the original one that you ripped from NfiniteFX's .7 stock release (which is no longer there).
Also, why do these build.prop files set the phone as a DROIDX ?
I appreciate the effort, good luck to those who use these.

If you change the device name to droidx more apps in the market are open not that the ALL new apps will be compatible but SOME will be so that is just to widen the availability of apps on the market for our heros
there are more tweaks besides that too that are better

Hi there,
Is there a way to temporary root my Nexus S [I9020XXKD1] or alternatively a non-root way to access /data so that I can copy a file in and out? Essentially I want to be able to backup and restore some game saves
Most posts I've read basically have folks saying "Just root it", which is good advice to most but isn't right for me - I really don't want to have to wipe my phone and I'd also like to be able to dip my toe into rooting before taking a full leap. That, and aside from needing this one file in /data my phone works exactly as I'd like it to
I only need "su" access for a brief moment to copy off a file to and from /data. I set up the android sdk but ADB didn't work because of the protection of "production builds".
VISIONary seemed like the right kind of thing, but I don't believe it works for the Nexus S or recent firmware, so while temp rooting would be nice so would any solution that allows me to backup and restore some files in /data.
At the moment I am wondering if writing an apk of my own that copies/replaces this one file is the way to go - but that seems perversely long way around!
So any help/suggestions most appreciated
There is no temporary root for the Nexus S. You're either rooted, or you're not. However, if, perchance, you are on Android 2.3.2 or earlier, you might be able to root without wiping.
Without root, you cannot see the files in /data, but you can read/write the files directly if they have the proper permissions and you know the exact path/filenames. After poking around a bit, it seems that read & write permissions vary among apps. Most apps have full permissions reserved for the parent app. Some allow other apps/user to read some files, and read+write others. (The permissions being app-specific, if it can't be done by command line, I doubt it could be done by creating an app, either.)
So, what is the game? Perhaps I can do some exploring.
If you have the old bootloader (2.3.2 i think) you can boot a recovery without flashing. From you computer use "adb boot recovery.img" and boot clockwork recovery. From there you can mount and access the filysystems.

Thanks I figured as much. The game is Dungeon Hunter 2 and essentially I am trying to implement a simple fix to make my save game work again (the fix is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042675 a few posts down) but it requires root. So I do know the exact paths and filename.
Thank you for your helpful answer
Ok, I'm not having any luck here, and it's pissing me off. FYI, I don't have that game, so I'm testing it with Angry Birds. I can read and copy the file just fine, but I can't modify it without using root. The data file itself has read/write access, but the containing folder (files/) is read-only, so I can't overwrite the file after I've modified it. Since the file itself has r/w access, I wonder if it would work to modify the file directly, instead of using an outside program to modify it then overwriting it. (I'm a bit ignorant of the finer points of linux permissions.) This would require an app that would allow you to open and modify a file by typing the full path & filename, instead of just browsing the directory tree. You could also try < adb pull /data/data/com.gameloft.android.TBFV.GloftD2HP.ML/files/dh2_000.savegame dh2_000.savegame > (using the correct path, if that's not it). Then see if < adb push dh2_000.savegame /data/data/com.gameloft.android.TBFV.GloftD2HP.ML/files/dh2_000.savegame > works. The fact that you can copy the file out is promising, anyway. So even if you had to root, you could backup the file before rooting wipes everything, then fix it & back it up after you had root.
Btw, what version of Android are you on?
Edit: I think I'm getting somewhere. While you can't modify the file itself, you can modify the file contents. So something like this might work: < adb shell >
< more /sdcard/dh2_000.savegame > /data/data/com.gameloft.android.TBFV.GloftD2HP.ML/files/dh2_000.savegame >
So the next step is to get some help from someone who has the game and is rooted as to the exact path to the savegame file. Once we have that, I think we're golden. (Or, let me know if adb pull works with the path I guessed at.)
wow! Thank you for your help
In answer to your questions: my Nexus s is running 2.3.4 and you are correct about the file path (many other kind xda users died to bring us those paths ) is /data/data/com.gameloft.android.TB with the filename being dh2_000.savegame
I don't want to drive you to distraction! If I could back it up I probably would go ahead then and root the phone given how complexplaying with a non-rooted phone is!
I will try the adb pull method and let you know how I get on.
Thank you again for your help and for showing me why I probably do want to root!

Perma-Temp Root with *R/W* & Stable! By Eugene373

I dont use Terminal Emulator and so have modified the batch file so as it does not install it. (See attached file). To use this modded batch file, simply replace the batch file from the download in the above thread and run as instructed.
Also, I have superuser elite and wanted to use the latest beta version. The lates beta version can be downloaded after finding it with a gogle search (if you have superuser elite and are entitled to it) and the SU file and superuser.apk files can also be replaced.
These will be updated when the Batch file is run again. If terminal emulator is already installed, it can be deleted and wont be installed again.
Cheers
I don't really see the point in this. You deleted one line from a script. This is just clutter. Honestly if other people don't know how to delete one line from a text file, they shouldn't be doing anything root-related in the first place.

I agree that it is only a single line, but not everyone is as competent as you and I provided additional information about super user. I did this because I thought it may be of help to some people. If its clutter, I apologise...but it helped one person and so I'm happy

Good for you then! That's the spirit, though perhaps not understood by some.
Well then how about a bat file howto guide? That would be pretty cool.

A HOW TO guide would be outstanding, but would require more than you think. You have to consider WHERE people have stored files such as adb.exe.
Editing the BAT is simple enough...Just download it, right click, then choose edit. Remove what you need and then run. This assumes that you got the thing to work as it originally had been intended to though.
