I installed a Rom and didn't like the bootanimation. I tried everything to replace it the apps I used where absolute control, root tools and bootchanger none work I believe boot changer delete my boot animation. Once I reboot my phone after it says HTC the screen goes black and than loads everything else. Can any one help me restore the original or a new bootloader

Get Super Manager from the market, it's free. In its settings, make sure and enable root function. Then to to either /data/local/ or /system/media/ (depending on which ROM you're running), and replace whatever bootanimation.zip is there with the one that you want. Or, if you completely removed (or just rename) the one that's there, you'll have the AOSP boot screen.
That worked, thanks!!!

For virus Rom the bootanimation is in system/customize/resource.

Hey is it possible to get that kang Simpsons boot animation made possible to flash on any cwm? Thanks

Not aware of that particular boot anime but if you know the ROM its from, use a root file app, extract in from the ROM, its in
/system/media
then move to
/data/local fix permissions and reboot.

It just says cwm the others have cwm2 and cwm 3 so I'm assuming it only flashes with cwm1

I'm not to hip to installing boot animation, i only flashed one with cwm so far

Read and learn, read and learn, read and learn....
you must have a kernel that accepts custom boot animations...
if you have that, simply flash the zip file via CWM..
(IMPORTANT NOTE) !!!!!!!
run a suitable nandroid backup prior to flashing the zip file. that way, if the rom grenades itself, or something else you didnt plan for, you can restore your backup to try again later...
happy flashing....g
OK guys i.'m tying to track down the file or files responsible for saving the programs I choose for my default apps. I am having my settings only stick for around ten minutes. After that time I have to choose my default app if multiple choices exist again.
I have a working theory that my permissions on said file or files are borked and I need to get them setup right again. I think they are not being written to the "save" fle and when the program chosen is killed my choice is killed with it.
I have tried using fix permissions in my recovery to no avail.
I am on MeanRom 2.6 ICS I am s-off with full root access.
Could someone tell me the file or files I should check and what the permissions should be when I look at them?
Thanks for any help,
Adan

I would try a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik-cache, sd-ext, boot) and then flash the ROM again. Some files might have gotten messed up during the flash so it's always best to start with a clean slate

You can only remove them in recovery via adb shell rm /system/app/*.apk
And if you're on stock ROM, also remove it's odex adb shell rm /system/app/*.odex
Or you can use the script made by Maarten here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36278172&postcount=30
extract the updater-script, edit the filename for the apk that you need to remove and put in back in the zip, and flash that in recovery.
Tried root uninstaller but no luck either. It came back after reboot :/

No app can uninstall app on DX except the way I described above.
There is some sort of protection HTC imposed on DX that you cannot use an app like TB, Root Uninstaller & etc; they won't work.
Note: before you remove anything, make sure you make a nandroid of your stock ROM before that as once an OTA is out, you need a clean stock ROM to update successfully.

But my rom are now rooted its too late to make a nand backup now..
Anyway, nand backup is on cwm recovery right?
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda app-developers app
If you never remove anything from the system partition, it is never too late.
(I believe you not yet able to remove anything )
And yes, make a nandroid backup with CWM.

What I meant is its too late for me to backup a clean stock unrooted rom.
Sorry can't edit my post above since I'm new user although I'm not new to xda I'd just created a new account.
Anyway I wish there was a simple way to remove the odex on the bloatware I want to uninstalled. On link2sd, the app mentioned above are marked with ODEX (green).
Guess you were right, can't move an an app with an odex on it though I don't know what odex is.
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda app-developers app
I understood that. What I meant is it is ok to make backup with a rooted stock ROM.
To update an OTA, you don't need to remove your root app or any installed app as long as all system files are intact. You don't even need to relock your bootloader. What you need is a stock recovery.
You can read more on this topic on the link in my sig. Even though that is for One V, it works the same principal for DX.
You can remove system apps from recovery using app called Aroma File Manager, made by Amarullz, you have the link in my Index.

Totally forgot about this nice recovery explorer/file manager
As I always use a PC base explorer/file manager to add/remove files to/from system partition.

ckpv5 is right. You can not delete files simply from Data or System folders.
You have to do that in recovery mode. If you try to delete files from any File explorer, your phone will simply restart.
Though we have rooted our phone, however it is not 100% rooted. HTC made S-ON on all of those device so that people can not do any changes on systems.
Play with your phone with complete nand backup.

Actually we do have 100% root, S-Off differs a lot from root. And there are multiple ways of deleting the apps. You can make a flashable zip file yourself if you know how to, you can use aroma file manager (mount system before using it), adb, or any other recovery file manager, if it exists

Probably someone should make a tutorial how to delete system apps here using aroma file manager?
Would be really useful.

Yup understand. I am sorry I wanted to say he can not do it thru any file browser when the phone is running. It will simply reboot.
Need to try Aroma File manager. Deleting with flashable.zip is really a pain not so simple.

+1 for that.
Addition
I have made a new idea on removing bloatwares. The idea is that the user can select the apps that are to be deleted in aroma. I have already made a project regarding this but only for my device. You can port it to your device and maybe share this with everyone.

Yeah! One moderator told me! I won't do like that from now onwards!
I have the t-mobile 626s variant. Ive rooted and still have a bunch of process and apps I dont want. I dont have a computer at the moment becuase its being fixed. Is there a list of apps safe to remove? Thank You
You have to install an insecure kernel. You can find a lot of custom kernel in these forum, choose one of them
So basically I can't install apk files on my phone. It's a recent issue since I switched over to the newest fj stock mod rom. I download an .apk, I put it on my phone but when I click on it to install it, the option to install it won't respond. I can click cancel. but I can't click install... I can't seem to figure out why it won't do it, and I'm sure it's something stupid that I'm not getting...
This exact thing happened to me.. The ONlY way to fix it is to flash new roms sorry
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
That is not the only way to fix it. You can put the apk in the data/app folder and reboot and it should install. You do have unknown sources checked right?

Yeah, I have that option checked. I'll try moving them there and see if that works.

It didn't work when I put them in that folder and rebooted. What did work was turning off JuiceDefender and then trying to install them. Not sure why but turning it off made things install. Whatever... lol

assuming you flash roms as a solution, would you have a few backups?

As rquiett mentioned.....put the app into the data/app folder via any good root explorer app, then reboot.
The apk can also be placed into the system/app folder for the same outcome. the major difference here, is the device now sees the apk as a system app, and will not be removable via traditional methods like a user app. It would need removal by the root explorer app that placed it there.
Flashing "the same" build to get an app, is generally not needed, however, I have used this method many times over the years after I removed a system app I needed back.
You can simply flash the "same" rom over the top of the existing rom, and the pre-loaded rom apps are back.
Note: you must wipe the caches after using this method, or data corruption could occur. "cache and dalvik cache"
Long story short:
Root explorer app to place into data/app......or system/app
and if you are feeling adventurous....then flash the "same" base build over the top of your current build, then wipe caches and reboot.
Standard disclaimers apply....g
The file manager for TWRP isn't reading my files. I moved all my roms to a different folder and deleted the old one they were in. However TWRP isn't recognizing any changes that have been made to any files or folders and it still shows the old folder but it is empty. How do I make it refresh or recognize any of the new files and folders in my phone? I have used the file manager i got when rooting my phone and es file explorer and the both are reading everything correctly. So how do I make TWRP start working correctly as well?
Where did you move the files from and to?

Well yea I had moved them from downloads to a folder where I had been putting all my roms and stuff. But even if I put them back in downloads twrp won't pick them up.
Alright so it isn't like updating anything. By that I mean it is showing stuff I deleted from my phone and isn't showing anything new I install
Edit: just read the 0 folder thing you said. Problem solved! Thanks a lot
