I just installed Brut Google Maps on my newly rooted SE X10 mini pro, which promptly crashed the SE homescreen. If I select "Force Close", homescreen just crashes again. The only remedy is a manual uninstall, which instantly heals the homescreen:
Code:
$ adb shell
$ su
# rm -r data/data/brut.googlemaps
# rm data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
# rm data/app/brut.googlemaps.apk
Has anyone else seen this?

This issue seems to be fixed in 4.4.0.4414-brut16. Great stuff!

For 1.6 use the patched Version from this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645286&highlight=market
put the Vending-Tattoo-patched.apk on your sdcard.

Code:
adb shell

Yup, just tried it on my rooted X10mini, and it works - I can now see apps that didn't show up in the original market app
Hmmm, I tried to install this patch. Now I have no market at all on my phone. (yes I did reboot). Where did I slip up? Astro shows that the file is in the /system/app folder but it doesn't show up as a launchable app. If I click on it in astro it gives me the option to install it but if I try to do that I get an error message.
These are roughly the steps I used:
Backed up the original market to my sdcard [ busybox cp /system/app/Vending.apk /sdcard ]
Deleted the original market [ rm /system/app/Vending.apk ]
Copied the patched Vending-Tattoo-blah.apk to my SD card
(in the shell again) copied the patched vending apk to /system/app/
Make sure the original Vending app isn't open, and that you're "su"'d as root when you delete and copy
You don't need to rename the patched file back to Vending.apk - it works fine if it's left with the name from the Zip (this also makes it easier to remember that you are using a patched version!)
ok. i've done it, too. and it works fine ;o)
so it worked for me
put the Vending-Tattoo-patched.apk on your sdcard.
enter commandshell
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cat /system/app/Vending.apk > /sdcard/Vending.org.apk
rm /system/app/Vending.apk
cat /sdcard/Vending-Tattoo-patched.apk > /system/app/Vending.apk

inteks
ps: i will edit the 1. post as TUT ;-)
Works a treat on X10 Mini Pro. Nice to have all the apps back.
Works fine on my x10 mini pro
but before I can use the patched marked, I needed to change the system language to English(American) and re-accepting ToS of the market. After that I changed the language back to german.
Really appreciate the tut inteks. Everything works now. Happy, happy
Can someone suggest an app to search for, so we can tell if it's working or not?
I'm currently trying to get hold of SwitchPro, but it doesn't seem to show up, even with the patched Market app. :s

Cool - I found that app.
I think SwitchPro might be having market issues.. The Android Market really is a pile of buggy junk!

It works perfectly on my x10 mini.
Yeah it's all up and running fine here
crashes into force close for me when I try to download anything, any ideas? I didn't use adb, I used root explorer to install it, do I need to use adb?
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
thats an issue with this patch. one dirty fix is to download an app and as soon as it will try to install, you'll see force close screen. at this point, force close market, and (i dont know if we can do it in x10 mini yet) browse to "/cache" folder (folder "cache" in "root") using any file manager. there you'll see an apk file, thats the file you've just downloaded. click-install it
crashes for me as soon as it starts to download, no chance to get far enough to install, literally market crashes as it initialises the download
have tried going back to the original vending apk but now that crashes trying to initialise a download too, not good

This thread is meant to serve as a compilation from the community of what .apk files can be removed safely without causing issues on your phone.
Currently these apps have been removed by the recovery exploit in Titanium Backup or Frozen in Titanium Backup:
Since we have full root now, just remove using whatever method you'd like

Script to remove files - MUST BE RUN EACH REBOOT DUE TO TEMP ROOT - Provided by bcnice20.

place this on the root of your sdcard then download scripter from the market. Go to settings then click import scripts from sdcard. It will automatically load this script into scripter then you can simply go back click on the script and run it to remove everything
ps. the recovery exploit isnt implemented gotta look into tht but its an easy way of getting rid of everything quickly without having to delete each manually!!!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To remove via recovery exploit use the following steps. (PLEASE NOTE THIS REMOVES THE FILE COMPLETELY FROM YOUR SYSTEM)
1. Open Titanium backup (if you don't have it download it here and PRO key here)
2. Click Backup/Restore and a full list of installed apps should show up (if not, post for some help)
3. Long press on whatever app you are looking to remove and scroll to the bottom of the new pop up.
4. Click Force remove app (by recovery exploit) and receive a prompt with a warning and thanks to Paul O'Brien for discovering the exploit.
5. Click Yes
6. Phone will reboot and flash a black screen with a red question mark for a short time, then reboot again.
7. After fully rebooted, you will find your app gone. METHOD NOT VALID ANYMORE DUE TO ROOT METHODS
Suggestion from cloverdave:
cloverdale said:
Also, if one does not want to go through the hours of removing the apps via titanium (I recommend just doing it though, as they never come back) just rename benice's script to visionary.sh, place it in /data/local, then check the option to run visionary.sh at boot in visionary. Then, at each reboot the script will autorun and you will never again see the apps.

when I removed these it pissed off the phone.
Its best to remove known sprint bloatware. This is the third time I've ruu after I started deleting stuff that "seemed" unnecessary. One time I got stuck in a registration loop. That sucked.
I have removed Sprint Zone, NFL, Nascar, Peep, Footprints, Mp3, Stocks, including their widgets and have no issues whatsoever. I use the FriendStream widget and have had no FC's at all.
I haven't removed it yet, but I'm sure the Kindle app is safe also.
When I run titanium backup, it does not list a single dang up for backup\restore etc. And it passes the root check. I am using visionary. Am I just a dolt and clueless as to how to use the app?

Hey Guys,
Ok, so the "filter" section has "all" checked, right now the line. Also my sd card is not mounted. The only thing I see when I click on the backup/restore tab is..
Application widgets
Accounts
Bluetooth Pairings
Country language timezone
Wi-Fi access points.
I am sure that it's glaringly obvious...

Sorry but how do I get it to install busybox? I already have it installed from visionary root. Just to check if it was working, I was able to do su in terminal mode.

Will the script utilize the recovery exploit? For otherwise it would have to be run with each reboot.
And you can add the htc keyboard to the list of removable apps.

I want to add that if you updated the voicemail app, you need to also uninstall the update via settings-> manage applications, otherwise it will remain.

I want to make a simple little busybox or something script that i can run via script manger (desktop widget) to clear dalvik cache and restart. Also possibly clear all caches but just dalvik for now.
I just made this and it seems to work but is this good enough?
Code:
#!/system/bin/busybox
rm /data/dalvik-cache/*.*
reboot
Should work fine.
Just to make it safe I'd just add a "sync" before rebooting.
And force the use of the busybox rm which is not as limited as some of the default roms rm command.
Code:
#!/system/bin/busybox
/system/bin/busybox rm -f /data/dalvik-cache/*
sync
reboot

It actually seems to kinda mess up the phone, now when it reboots the screen goes off before the bootanimation transistions to phone and the led comes on white really quick...weird
Went back to original but phone still acting weird no big deal made a nandroid yesterday...gonna stick to original way.
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Y Duos running stock ROM. After rooting I uninstalled some of the stock applications, among which was Gtalk. My phone functions normally, however functions dependent on Gtalk (like the Gtalk service monitor) don't work, and I want it back.
I searched across the web to find some Gtalk APKs, but trying to install them simply shows "Application not installed".
Could anyone point in the right direction on how to install it?
Thanks in advance.
I worked it out myself, seeing that none was actually interested.
Download Talk.apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27361160&postcount=309 and unzip given file
Using terminal emulator:
Code:
/ $ su -c ash # replace ash with any other shell of your choice, or if you want to use default shell just execute 'su'
/ # cd /sdcard/Download
/sdcard/Download # cp Talk.apk Talk.odex /system/app
/sdcard/Download # ls /system/app | grep -i talk
Talk.apk
Talk.odex
talkback.apk
Wait for a few minutes, preferably keeping the phone in standby mode.
(The above is the most important part. Immediate rebooting will not help.)
If you do have some app that alerts you on installation of new apps (like I had LBE Privacy Guard), you will be notified of the install.
Now, reboot your phone.
No need to do such complex procedure. You can push your system app easily using any root explorer

Hello,
I installed MagiskOnWSA from LSPosed github and I wanted to try using Google assistant since this WSA contains the Google apps. I installed the assistant APK but then it says that I need to select it as the main voice assistant in settings, but then in settings under voice assistants It says "None". I discovered that if you run the following adb command to the WSA the assistant starts working:
Code:
adb shell settings put --user 0 secure voice_interaction_service com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.voiceinteraction.GsaVoiceInteractionService
However it works until the next restart of the WSA. I noticed that in Magisk you can create boot scripts that execute different commands on boot, so I thought of giving that a try in hopes to make the Google assistant solution permanent in a way.
So I wrote the following script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 10
settings put --user 0 secure voice_interaction_service com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.voiceinteraction.GsaVoiceInteractionService
I saved in as .sh file put it in /data/adb/service.d , made it's permissions rwxr--r-- , open a terminal emulator typed
Code:
cd /data/adb/service.d/
chmod +x script.sh
But then when I restart it doesn't allow the assistant to work it displays the message that I need to make it my default assistant.
Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Google assistant will work in the Google go app. Which is really weird and I'm having the same problem. Even after using FX Explorer app as the root File manager.
