All credits go to Scrosler, Nils, MrSmith, and everyone else. I took the Linux version of this tool and modified it to work on Mac OSX. The Linux version did not work for me, so I decided to fix up a Mac version and upload. It also has a special WiFi Tether install script I whipped up.
INSTALL THE MAC OSX ANDROID SDK BEFORE USING THIS!
Here are some links to get you started with the SDK.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/de.../#.TuaS3lxjgSM
So now that you have the SDK installed...
1) Unzip Cleantool_Mac.zip
2) Open a command window, change directory into your Cleantool_Mac directory
3) Run ./cleantool.sh
Have fun
Cool! Good Job!

Well, you can Temp Root, and then you are given the option to remove some bloat, all bloat, or VZW bloat, and you can also desense

The link you quoted and in the OP goes to guides as I would assume were intended. Don't know how/why you would get to somewhere completely different.

Worked fine for me too!
cant seem to get the command screen to accept my commands. Pretty much a nube when it comes to command screens and code, but if anyone could help lead me in the right direction, i'd appreciate it. I already have sdk installed and the cleantool zip unzipped. Just not sure where to go from here, as everything i've tried on the command screen has come back permission denied, or no such directory. Thanks in advance...
In terminal I get to a Password prompt?
Edit: Nevermind, just hit Enter. Doh!

1. In the Terminal app ( /Applications/Utilities )
type: cd (path to Cleantool_Mac folder - Easiest way to do this is to open a Finder window next to the Terminal window, navigate to the Clean folder in the Finder window and then drag the folder into the Terminal window. Make sure it has a space between the cd and the path.)
Example: cd /Users/username/Desktop/Clean_Mac
Hit Return or Enter
2. At the next prompt: Type: ./cleantool.sh
3. Select the Temp Root option then let it do it's thang and then select the Exit option.
Hope that helps.

I've noticed that some stuff doesn't launch properly from shortcuts. Have you tried launching from a terminal prompt? There may be something crashy going on that gets hidden when launching from a menu/shortcut that you would be able to see in the terminal.
without sounding like an idiot how would you recommend doing it? I tried a method I found from google but to no avail

I'll try to explain without sounding like an idiot.
Let me state my assumptions first: You've used webtop2sd and have a functional webtop with working lxterminal and synaptic.
1. Launch a terminal (using the launcher in the dock at the bottom or on the webtop-panel at the top). If you have a launcher somewhere else or are using XFCE or LXDE or something then you should probably know where your terminal launcher is.
2. type in "supertux" and see what happens. If you get a command not found error then it isn't in your PATH, you have to cd to usr/local/games and it's probably in there. Try running it from that directory.
I'm installing it right now to see what happens, I'll let you know what I find.
---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------
Got it.
It gets installed to /usr/games, but that isn't in the default path so it doesn't get picked up wen you type "supertux" from a terminal. And that's why the .desktop file doesn't work, which is why the launcher doesn't work.
Easy solution: do this from a terminal:
Code:
./usr/games/supertux
The "right way" is to edit the path variable, I don't know where the best place to put this is, it's dependant on your setup, maybe in a .bashrc file:
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/games
See this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-linux-adding-path/
wow thankyou very much. That was very helpful Right found it and started it. Didnt realize it was called supertux2 which didnt help :facepalm:
Lol now it is throwing a glx error. I will have a look into this.
Hi,
I'm having problems with my S3. I'm trying to copy a ROM over to the internal storage via USB. It's connected and I can view all the files and directories. However, when I go to copy the ROM over, I get this error:
Cannot copy item
The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.
I did have it rooted with CWM and custom ROMs, but I flashed the leaked official JB and have had this problem since. I've flashed back to stock ICS and still no luck...
I have the same problem! Bump

I'm having the same copy issue. I've tried downloading multiple different ROMs and copying them over to the internal storage and it seems like it's a crap shoot whether they work or I get the "cannot copy" error. Of course the ROMs I want to flash are the ones that won't work. I'm on a newly flashed Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.
I had the same challenge with 4.1.2 at the beginning. I found out that somehow my kernel (Siyah RC1) was the issue, after installing RC3 and also now with 1.7 it works fine.

Do you tick USB debugging in developer option, if YES, do you disable media storage from startup, if No, my answer is try other USB, OTG cable. Goodluck!

Hi,for Galaxy S4 just download USB MASS Storage Enabler and run it ,you will have no problems copying after that!
most of the copy problem like this mainly caused by the USB line or the USB port...

This did not work for me. For me the issue was that the download in chrome of the rom was "complete", but it was not. IT was only 120mb in stead of 200+, so the file was corrupt. This is why I could not copy it.
Redownloaded, worked.
Maybe Kies Service is running in the background? You can reinstall the Samsung USB Device Driver on your machine. You also can uninstall the device driver installed by the system when you plug in the device the first time. Maybe this helps.
Hi! What I did was I put whatever I wanted to copy into a folder (in my case it was a ROM i.e. a zip file) and then tried to copy and it worked.
TRY THIS
if not copy, try cutting (you can copy it back later)
Hello,
I have acquired an Acer tablet that we used for my grandparents called GrandPad by Consumer Cellular. There is a really stripped down software/OS on it that is more "elderly friendly". I know the user interface is built on top of Android (maybe 6.0-6.1). My question is how to I find a custom ROM and installation instructions on this so I can make this thing a decent functioning tablet? I'm having a hard time finding anything about this. Not sure if Acer took another variant of their tablet and made it exclusive to Consumer Cellular.
Here's all the info I have on it. Not sure how to access the Android info on top of the current software.
Model: A6201
SNID: 81790091576
S/N: FFHZ8AA008817DBF337602
Hi there , I would try to look if theres any rom for it , can you upload screenshots of the ui? Also , please remove the IMEI part as it is not necessary and it is a potential security risk for you if someone uses it .

Hello ThatLatinGuy,
I have tried endlessly searching for a ROM. I just can't find much info at all on ACER Android tablets in general, and much less on this specific model they made for a cellular company.
As far as the stock UI, you can do a web search for GrandPad Consumer Cellular. Apparently I can't give the link because I don't have 10 post yet.
After posting this, I did hold down the (power and +- volume) button and got to the Android recovery screen to do a factory reset thinking it would reset back to Android 6.0.1. I did work....sort of. The "grandpad" UI is no longer there, but it does boot up to some application called "GrandPad Eagle". I assume this is some kind of software they ran on top of Android when developing the tablet's interface??? There is an option on that screen to do a hardware test. When I touch on that it opens some Android app called Alpaca. From there I can swipe down from the top screen and access the Android settings menu. There's no launcher and I've even tried to sideload .apk apps (with unknown sources turned on) but gives me an error about it can't read file. It let me turn on developer options in the settings.
I can try to upload some images, but every time I go to insert image it wants a link and not a location on this site. Tried Google photos link and that didn't work apparently. Anyway, any settings specifically might help just let me know and I'll try to get it on here somehow...maybe.
Well this sounds really familiar , I was in the same boat a few years ago with a 2012 kindle fire HD so I will try to apply the same principle here . I have also tried to look for information about this tablet and only got the specs , wich are actually pretty good , but anyway does the tablet have an internet browser? if so type fdroid an download the app install it and open it , search for a launcher so you can atleast use the tablet .
If not , how are you sideloading it? with adb ? or does this tablet support mtp?
You can try to upload the pictures to google photos and upload the link with some characters in between (something like : www----photoservice_x2323-com)
Havent found anything about the Granpad Eagle app, although Im pretty sure that your assumptionis correct , and the Alpaca app is equally obscure , so please try to upload the picture of those .
Cheers

The tablet has no browser. Very very limited apps in general. I tried to download the apk apps for chrome and nova launcher. I can push them from my computer to the tablet . But when I touch to install it, I get an error saying it can't read the APK file. Don't know why it would say that. I do have trust unknown sources checked.
I'll see what I can do about the pics.

Update...
I managed to install new apps via ADB. I was able to remove the grandpad eagle from ADB as well. I rebooted the tablet and the Nova Launcher (app I installed) settings came up.
Main problem now is that there is no navigation buttons on the bottom. There's no way I can go back or home. Not sure yet how to enable them. It's a bit annoying when you can't go back to the home screen or switch apps.

its gesture based , but it looks better .
Thanks,
Even though the OEM stuff is off...the Android OS is still a little quirky. For example, there is no way to put it to sleep with the hardware buttons. And I have to hit the power and volume up button to power it off. Just random stuff like that.
Oh well, it's better than it was. Just wish I could do a fresh restore without the OEM stuff. Or better yet, a custom ROM. Which seems like is impossible since this tablet is so unique.

Hey y'all,
I've been lurking here for quite some time, so it's nice to finally register and become a part of the forums here! At any rate, here goes my first post...
I have this exact tablet and I thought maybe it would be a good starting point for me to try working with ADB and all that. The Acer A6201 I was given appears to have no OS on it, as when booting it I am met with a screen displaying the 'GrandPad Eagle' logo with the Identifier, Serial #, Telephony, and SIM # with barcodes. Also displayed are the buttons: Install, Shutdown, Pick WiFi, About, and Hardware Test. LTE is on (I put my Cricket SIM in it), as well as WiFi. It reads Eagle vc21618-b356. Upon connecting to LTE, it reads:
SyncManager: Sync Device...
RegisterManager: Registering...
EagleAPI: Starting Register...
RegisterManager: Register Success
EagleAPI: Starting Sync...
AutoWIFIManager: doGiraffeWIFISearch >> no matches
That's pretty much it. If I click Hardware Test, it goes to something called Alpaca, which runs through all hardware tests with no issues. From Alpaca I can also pull down the drop down menu which allows me into settings and all that. From there, I've enabled developer mode and USB debugging, as well as install from unknown sources.
As the OP originally stated, there is no web browser and I've had zero luck installing any APKs or anything; I can't even get Chrome on there via ADB.
Any thoughts or advice?
Just wanted to update this thread and see if anyone else has made any progress. I have the Acer A8202 model.
Grandpad apps removed. (until factory reset) use a usb keyboard and hit escape to get access to the system menu then enable developer and adb. Nav bar is under Display. I installed a browser, Aptoide and a launcher via adb. I am still working on the status bar(working in settings but not in all other apps) I believe there is a full screen mode system wide setting on in the build.prop file. temp solution is "Material Status bar" and "Mi control center" for a status bar. Google play services install but constantly crash. I was also able to unlock the bootloader. but to edit the system files will need root and a Twrp img file that doesn't give black screen.

Hrprada, there isn't a Stock package/rom that we can use. In order to side load apps you will need to make sure developer and adb are enabled. Google is your friend to get those. All i did was use a usb keyboard to show the menu. then swipe down.

If you can't connect card to GPay this instruction maybe can help you!
We will need
• Root (Magisk)
• Root Explorer
Open root explorer and go to root/data/data/com.google.android.gms
Select this three folders
• app_chimera
• app_cryptauth_external_device_db
• app_dg_cache
Set permissions as on attached screenshot or set octal value to 0444
After it go to
• app_dg_cache
And delete all folders except the oldest one, you can understand which is the oldest one by comparing .apk file in these folders (if there is only one folder, do not delete anything)
Everything is ready! Now you can add your card and use it.
I hope it will help someone.
EDIT: after doing this your phone won't pass SafetyNet checks. If you need SafetyNet set octal of folders to default 0771 (permissions rwxrwx--x), but Google Pay will stop working again.

Hmm....I don't see google.android.gsm

Edit. Found it. You have a typo. It is gms

And dg_cache
I have two folders with exact same timestamp. What do I do?
Checking the files I side these two, the.apk file has some time difference. Is this what you mean?

I left the folders alone and was able to activate one card. Good enough! Thank you.
Thanks heaps. Working on latest Havoc OS build perfect.
Working, on rooted Stock EEA ROM.
You might want to correct your typo though, the folder to open in root explorer would be root/data/data/com.google.android.gms instead of root/data/data/com.google.android.gsm

If you can't connect card to GPay this instruction maybe can help you!
We will need
• Root (Magisk)
• Root Explorer
Open root explorer and go to root/data/data/com.google.android.gms
Select this three folders
• app_chimera
• app_cryptauth_external_device_db
• app_dg_cache
Set permissions as on attached screenshot or set octal value to 0444
After it go to
• app_dg_cache
And delete all folders except the oldest one (if there is only one folder, do not delete anything)
Reboot!
I hope it will help someone.

Thank you so much. This is working perfectly. The only reason I wouldn't install custom was that google pay wont work in any of them.
Altho I was able to add the cards I found I couldn't use the card in google pay. At the payment terminal the phone vibrated, but no charge or payment was registered.
Anyone can confirm if they can actually use Google pay after this?

Are you sure you did everything right?
Hi,thanks for posting this.
On my phone the magisk safety net no pass anymore : tells me invalid response.
I don't know if gpay is working or not.
Is normal?
Thanks again

Yes, it's normal and root is fine too...
You can uninstall and reinstall google services and it gonna fix magisk response, but going to crash google pay again. So just leave it...
