The file is under the system hard drive, not your user profile but the main system hard drive. just go to your main hard drive, go to System, then to Library, then to Extensions and it will be there for you to just delete.

Hi!
Could anyone help steer me towards a solution please?
Or tell me if its impossible (and why).
I am trying to put together a script of some kind which I can use to do a basic rebuild of my Archos 70 after I have done a Full Reinitialization. I like to mess around installing all sorts of stuff, but when done, it's nice to reset and go
back to a clean machine.
As it's not rooted (yet?) I generally rebuild manually which takes ages.
Although a relative newbie at Android/Linux, I have worked with scripting
on mainframes and in the Windoze arena for many years.
The scripting requirement is quite simple, namely to install packages one by one from the SD card. Also to copy back Bookmarks, launcher setting etc
I am happy to work in any language which will work, but to date have just been trying with .SL (Bash?) scripts which run quite happily from within the SL4A environment or according to my theory, should work also from Android natively.
I envisage the script residing on the SD card and when invoked installing my launcher, Dolphin Browser, various other apps and games, then copying back the settings which I have saved (also by script) before the Initialisation.
Trouble is, I can find no simple samples which help. When I try, I can 'cp' stuff about and echo messages etc, but when I try to install, I don't really know where to start. I have tried just the name of the app package
'/sdcard/sdcard/packagename.apk', it replies 'permission denied' and if I try 'sudo package.apk', it says 'not found'.
I am assuming that the 'permission denied' is a good sign because it understands what I'm trying to do at least. But if I am allowed to do it myself, then surely my script should be allowed to do it?
I am quite happy messing around myself. But if anyone has any pointers
(sample scripts, which language/environment to use, etc.) I would be most grateful.
Sorry if this is covered elsewhere. I have searched but was unable to find much which helped. I am continuing the search!
Thanks in anticipation!
1. All normal installed Apps are installed in /data/app as the apk
2. Local/private data comes into /data/data/name.of.the.package
Both directories are ony accessible with root.
Hell again,
Thanks for your reply fzelle, but I'm not sure as to whether I may have explained it properly.
I am running 'Quick System Info' which is great, and it has a function to backup all the installed apps to a directory you can get at without root access. From there I have copied them onto the SD card.
I am not just trying to copy them into the working directory.
If I click on an app, it lets me install it without any problem.
I am trying to automate that part of the process, and I need the name of the software which does the installation, and how to actually give it the parameters for it to do the install. Although a Linux newbie, I don't really understand why, if I am allowed to install apps myself,
a script that I run should not be allowed to install them also?
Anyone got any ideas please?
Oops! - Sorry for that unfortunate typo at the beginning of my last post. Please read as 'Hello'!
No, i didn't understand you wrong.
You want to automate the installation of your std programs, and that normaly doesn't only include the apk but also the private Data.
And if you manually want to install this, you need root to be able to write in /data/data
If you just want to Backup/Install the apps, use appSaver from the market.
That has allready everything you need, and doesn't need root.

Not entirely true.
I have some SSH tunnels set up on my rooted phone that use keys and a shell script to launch them, all set up with Better Terminal Emulator. The key and script files are located under /data/data/com.magicandroidapps.bettertempro/home. I wanted to use the same keys and script on my A70, so I copied the files from my phone to the same directory on my A70 using the terminal command line. Although you can't browse to the app folders under /data/data/, there is some ability to copy stuff into them. I guess the trick is knowing what and to where.
I've not used appsaver, but Astro will also let you back up and reinstall your apps all at once.
I have uninstall an app and it is still there. Great programming.
Now I got two of the same icon even after I had uninstall the app.
This is on the SETTING - APPLICATIONS - Manage Aplications - screen, NOT the HOME screen where you just hold and REMOVE.
Anyone know how to get rid of the icon?
After you uninstall the apps reboot. Try that and see if it works

A more technical approach to removing an application is: adb uninstall <package name>
For example, to remove my Root Check app, the syntax would be: adb uninstall com.joeykrim.rootcheck .
I'm pretty sure this will remove both the .apk file stored in /data/app and the /data/data directory created by the application.
If you wanted to manually perform essentially the same thing you can simply remove the application's apk file in /data/app and remove the applicaton's directory in /data/data.
I usually use the adb uninstall approach but have manually removed apk files and /data/data directories. Hope that helps!
I have done shut down and reboot. That did not do it. The icon is still there.
Where do I input the syntax?
Do they leave registry behind on the phone?

Is fastboot enabled when you did the reboot or shut down??? If so try turning it off and see if that helps. Also try loading up titanium backup and go into backup and restore and see if you can find anything related to the app and if you do try uninstalling/removing it and see if that helps. As far as the syntax you have to have adb installed on your pc.

more detailed and technical route/answers/background to your questions:
the syntax can be input via an adb binary ran on the host computer which communications with the android device over adb. it is a great and powerful method. the main reason i switched to using android devices.
i wrote a guide for using adb when I had the HTC EVO, but adb is the same for almost all android devices. [TUTORIAL/HOW TO] Basics of ADB
android doesn't have a registry like windows does. an application consists of three main pieces.
1) the application .apk file, which is the actual application code package downloaded through the market and stored in /data/app/.
2) the application has its own dedicated and private directory for settings, files, information, etc created in /data/data/.
3) the android java dalvik virtual machine parses the .apk file to speed up loading time and stores this information in /data/dalvik-cache/.
in theory, barring any unusual circumstances which sometimes arise, in order for the application to appear in the application draw/tray, the apk file has to be in the /data/app folder.
hope all that information helps!

Just had the Same problem Minus the Double icons... What i did was I went into Data/Data and found the file left behind and Deleted it, the went into Data/DalvikCache and Also Deleted the file from there. The Rebooted to Recovery and Wiped Cache and DalvikCache and when I Rebooted I was Good! All Gone....
Oh yeah also if you have Spareparts.apk installed and have the ZipAligned setting checked, Disable it!
As far as I can tell dropbox for android doesnt make a mount point like it does on a PC, but the function is there. Could android be tricked into doing this?
Hello, i a, looking for for something like this aswell. The only posibility i know is dropsync, but this mirrors the dropbox to the local storage... It would be great to be able to Mount the dropbox like a network drive
Es file Explorer can add your dropbox folder as a share in its app. Actually it supports GDrive and Box too...

Yes but the share in not available to other apps as if it were mounted as another external SD drive. I want to use an encryption software but I need to point it to the encrypted file. For that the dropbox folder needs to look like an android system folder.

I have been looking for something similar. so far, (apart from apps like es file explorer) the closest i have found is [puts on protective suit] this
https ://github.com/arekzb/dropfuse
now - yes, I know that it is linux and not android, but given the similiarities in the systems (ducks flaming posts), it may server as a planning base for a (much smarter/more knowledgeable) person to expand upon.
My thoughts (possibly invalid) would be that the mount point could be created at/after(?) boot via some sort of script - not sure if this is even possible, but if it could be done, you could then potentially modify for other storage services.
Purpose's could be to - stream media, store files for online viewing/editing/reading etc...

update - just tested and have not got it working on my ubuntu system - possibly due to a backend dropbox change (or just me not being able to follow instructions)
*******
okay - so tried again and it works (for ubuntu) - help read instructions and google - works wonders
needed to install setuptools and pyquery, and it only works while the terminal window is open (there may be a way to run as a service or something - but not checked yet).
so all good - so far.
Did some checking and there is python for Android around, so am thinking (once i get a chance) I will try to see if i can emulate the linux success.....
Great for Ubuntu, any chance for Android
I noticed that upon connecting via USB, Windows mounts 2 drives:
HTC Sync Manager
CDROM - Verizon wireless applications
How would I go about removing these? I know the space used isn't that substantial (~20mb). This is just an annoyance.
Thanks!

If I'm correct, when those pop up in the Top-right, it asks you what you want the computer to do... should be able to select "do nothing"
unless you mean you don't want it showing up in the "my computer" window, with your other storage devices, in which case, I'm not sure lol.
If you are unlocked, these two things can be deleted while booted into recovery.
CDROM is located at /system/etc/CDROM.iso
as for sync manager, if I remember correctly, this is located in /system/app but i forget the exact name. it wasn't hard at all to spot.

Awesome! I guess I could have spent some more time snooping around in recovery, but I'm always afraid I'm gonna wreck it.
Thanks!

I'm think that the file you are referring to is AndroidHtcSync.apk located in /system/app
While removing these is good to do, it won't reclaim the space for anything usable, such as additional sdcard space.
I set up the dual boot on my Maguro, and I want to have a shared directory to drop my music into that will play on both Ubuntu touch and CM 10.2. However, I cannot find the ubuntu data folder from Android. I understand that there is supposed to be an ubuntu folder in /data from the android side, but I don't see it. On the Ubuntu side, I can see everything in my home folder, but when I go up to filesystem, I see nothing, and can't go any further up. Any ideas?
i used ES for this. check root explorer then go up to /data/. you'll find ubuntu's user & system data folders. as for ubuntu, since /data is mounted there must be a way to see the files in android. i think with root permission you might be able to do it . my terminal app doesn't work (trusty r79, already a thread for it) and my ssh connections are rejected. i'll report back when i get it to work
there should be a way (using root ofcourse) to make both OSes see each other's user space (again after i get my terminal working i'll see if i can find something)
ES worked well for this. Once I found /data/user-data/phablet/Music, I just moved all my music into it, and set a custom path in VLC to point there. It's not as nice as being able to share the whole user space between OS's, but it works well enough for me.
