is there a way to remove icons from the start menu? i have a custom rom (modaco and there are a few apps i cant remove i was wondering if i can just remove ther icon? thanks!
I presume you are trying to remove apps that are installed on the system partition. (ie. most of the standard HTC apps).
If so, you can do so from your PC, but follow these instructions in case you remove something you shouldn't (!)
1. Take a Nandroid Backup before starting
2. Connect phone to your PC and set up ADB from the SDK if not already done.
3. Run command
Code:
adb remount
4. Type
Code:
adb shell
5. Type
Code:
su
6. Type
Code:
cd /system/app
7. Type
Code:
ls
8. Now have a look through the list for what you want to remove. Be aware that low-level things like the dialer are listed here, so be careful
9. When you find the app you want to uninstall, type the commands
Code:
exit
adb pull com.name.of.apk.file.apk C:\HTCHeroBackupApps
to copy the apk file to your PC in case you want to put it back
10. Then type
Code:
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm com.name.of.apk.file.apk
11. Application removed. Repeat for other apps you want rid of. Reboot phone when done.
(11.) If you need to restore an app in future for any reason, use the following command:
Code:
adb remount
adb push C:\HTCHeroBackupApps\com.name.of.apk.file.apk /system/app
and reboot the phone.
HTH, and don't go deleting things if you don't know what they are
1. Linux(easy)
2. Mac(easy)
3. Windows(medium)
________________________________________________________
1. Linux
You don't need any special drivers for SDK on linux(adb shell), but you don't get fastboot binary in SDK package. To set fastboot for linux follow instructions:
1. Download SDK(this isn't need if you want just fastboot)
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Download fastboot linux binary
http://www.mediafire.com/?ldlovlzi9mx3pbh
3. Copy it to your SDK directory
/path_to_your_SDK_directory/platform-tools
or
if you use fastboot often and you don't want to type cd /path_to_your_SDK_directory/platform-tools, ./fastboot <action> every time, you can do this:
1. Open Terminal and type:
sudo nautilus
to get file browser with root privileges.
2. Copy fastboot binary to /bin directory
Now, just open terminal and type fastboot <action> and that's it?
Copy this file to /etc/udev/rules.d
EDIT:
Code:
sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
Easy?
______________________________________________________________
2. Mac
I don't have Mac, but it should be like for linux:
1. Download SDK(this isn't need if you want just fastboot)
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Download fastboot Mac binary:
http://www.mediafire.com/?kjozh1q5dyyqhn3
3. Copy it to your SDK directory
/path_to_your_SDK_directory/platform-tools
or
(I don't know that this is possible on Mac, try to change nautilus with Mac's default file browser?)If you use fastboot often and you don't want to type cd /path_to_your_SDK_directory/platform-tools, ./fastboot <action> every time, you can do this:
1. Open Terminal and type:
sudo nautilus
to get file browser with root privileges.
2. Copy fastboot binary to /bin directory
Now, just open terminal and type fastboot <action> and that's it? Easy?
______________________________________________________________
3. Windows
1. Download SDK
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Download Google USB Drivers from SDK Manager
3. After download, there're located in /path_to_your_SDK_directory/extras/google/usb_driver
4. Open android_winusb.inf and add this after [Google.NTx86] or [Google.NTamd64](32 bit or 64bit)
;NVIDIA Tegra
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01
(Here is my modificated android_winusb.inf file here, but it's old and an updated version arrived from Google and it's compatible with 32bit and 64bit)
5. Open CMD from Start>Run and type:
echo 0x955 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"
6. Reboot
==========================================================
7. On tablet go to Settings > Applications > Development and enable USB Debugging if it wasn't enabled and connect tablet with computer via USB.
8. Right-click on Computer and click Manage. Identify your device from the list(I think it's Tegra with board icon), right-click it and click Update Driver Software
9. Choose to browse your computer for driver software and then select to pick from a list device drivers on your computer
10. Choose to view all devices and click Have Disk
11. Browse to the google-usb_driver folder inside your Android SDK folder(/path_to_your_SDK_directory/extras/google/usb_driver) and select the android_winusb.inf file
12. If you get any warnings prompts telling you that the driver might not be compatible, just choose to continue installing
13. Once the drivers have been installed, you should be able to use ADB with your device
14. To confirm that your device is recognized, launch a Command Prompt window and enter these commands:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
If you see your device name or a few numbers as the output under the list of devices, your device is now recognized by ADB
For fastboot you need to go to /path_to_your_SDK_directory/platform-tools in terminal(cd /path_to_your_SDK_directory/platform-tools) and type fastboot(.exe) <action> and before it to change ADB Interface to ADB
That's it, if you have some complaints, post them.
Bye!!!
EDIT: Changed android_winusb.inf file due error in it.
EDIT2:Changed android_winusb.inf file due error in it again.
echo 0x955 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"
shut the cmd say something ? because when i write the command and push enter its just jump to another line and says nothing ???
No. You can go to that file("%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini") and manualy add 0x955 to it.
Sorry!
I cannot connect to this link:http://www.mediafire.com/?kjozh1q5dyyqhn3
Please do me a favor, send fastboot as an attachment to this mail address:
[email protected]
I'll try because I'm not at home, I went to my grand parents and I have really slow internet.
Hello guys I have a problem, the step 5. Open CMD from Start> Run and type:
echo 0x955>> "% USERPROFILE% \. Android \ adb_usb.ini"
I run this step but I open a txt file that says this:
Android # USB Vendor ID 3RD PARTY LIST - DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'adb Android update' TO GENERATE.
USB Vendor ID # 1 FOR LINE.
0x955
I now do not understand where I write echo 0x955?
/documents_and_settings/[your user name]/.Android(hidden file)/adb_usb.ini

Nice guide. Think you forgot the udev rule for Linux:
Create a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules containing:
Code:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0955", MODE="0666"
Without that Linux won't give you write permission to the device.
Ok, I'll add.

So when I want to use fastboot, I install the Android Bootloader Interface driver? Not the ADB interface driver?
Needless to say I haven't got fastboot working yet but ADB works. One other thing: If I manage to install a firmware and do a wipe and everything works; can it be that I would experiance better performance if I as well managed to to a full wipe with fastboot? I mean, can it flush things that CWM can't? I'm using the latest cyanogenmod (test version) from DerArtem, but I am a bit interested in trying the latest progress of honeycomb...
I have problems with interfaces. On one computer is ADB interface and on other is something else but I prefer linux for doing any job that's connected with android. In theory wiping should be same with fastboot and recovery but, again, I prefer fastboot because it's JUST erase all on data/cache/system partition and recovery might don't have support for other partition types as well as other problems, but I don't say that it can be different.
Thanks. I hope I continue to have a functioning cwm. If it breaks I will have to install Linux

For the past couple of days I have issues with transferring files over usb as no support is built into to the ics kernel for the usb transfer unless a physical sdcard is detected. I tried the mtp, thing and for some reason that wont show the files. Here is what I found that works best for transferring files rather than installing sketchy Chinese programs.
Note all commands are in quotes, do not type the quotes
Setting up and checking files in directories
1. Install androidsdk
2. open a command prompt and cd to where your adb tools are. They are typically in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
3. "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" after you download the pack through the platform tools pack through the sdk manager. Yours may be in a different place depending on install. If you have set the system variable for adb skip to step 4.
4. Set your touchpad to go into android debugging mode when plugged in, under developers options
5. Type in "adb devices" to make sure your touchpad is seen by computer
6. Now access your devices by typing "adb shell" (if you have the ghost emulator 5554, use adb -d shell)
7. From there type "cd /sdcard/"
8. Type "ls" to receive a list of all files on your touchpad (note l is an L)
9. From there simply use the cd command to get in and out of directories
Transferring Files
When you want to transfer files to and from the touchpad, open a new command prompt and get back to the location with your adb files.
To copy to touchpad
Use the adb push command, example of adb push:
"adb push C:\users\stephen\downloads\example.apk /sdcard/"
The format is adb push local directory to remote directory.
To pull from touchpad
To pull something from your touchpad use adb pull command. The format is adb pull remote directory to local directory.
Example: "adb pull /sdcard/getjar.apk c:\users\stephen\desktop"
I installed DroidSSHd for root GUI. and for GUI file transfer/install I use AirDriod.
edit: course, all this is done on the air.
Hi friends. I have bought a HCL me U1 tab : 7" display, 512 mb ram, running android 4.0.3 ICS on it. But it does not supports Google play on it and I am pretty upset. Tried to root it with z4root, gingerbreak but nothing works.. Please help.
yup, Im stuck with this tab too, its good tab though.
IT lacks gapps and has few bugs, I hope we get a way to root it soon, or a custom rom will be much better
somebody ..help us
Have you tried SuperOneClick and/or Unlock Root? Both tools are capable of rooting a vast number of devices, so it's worth a shot.
One click ==> yes, will try another one soon. One click doesnt seem to work though. Any help here would be much appreciated
---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------
ok unlock root gets stuck on 'try to get shell root permissions'. It recognizes the device and all, but gets stuck here
This tablet can be rooted.

Where do I download the Superuser app from? Do I have to download it in my PC and then somehow install it into my U1? Or Do I download and install it directly into my U1??
I'm stuck at the superuser app part... And couldn't find yaffs explorer in the HCL ME market... There's no other Market in my tablet yet!
I'm pretty new to such things, It would be great if you help me out!

Then extract the zip file to desktop:\ & you will see 2 folders as
“System” and “Meta-INF”.
4. Download the drivers. Then connect the tablet & install the drivers
using device manager.
5. Download SuperOneClick!. Extract the archive, go to the folder
named ADB. Open an elevated command prompt download that first
6. CONTINUE WITH THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS.
>adb root (you will see a message “adb is already running as a root”)

hey can i use 64 bit os?? any other method for 64 bit os??
You'll either need root or a custom recovery to do this, but as not everyone wants root.
1. Here's how you do it with TWRP, a USB cable, and a PC with ADB:
2. Root (easiest method)
Method 1
Boot your device into recovery
2. Mount your system by going to Mounts > Tick System
3. On your PC open a command line, somewhere like your desktop is useful
4. Type the following command:
HTML Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop
5. Open the build.prop file with your favourite editor, I recommend using Notepad++ on Windows
6. Find the "ro.build.type" line
7. Change the text after = to "userdebug" from "user"
8. Save the file in Notepad
9. Go back to the command line and enter the following command:
HTML Code:
adb push build.prop /system/
10. Now open a shell doing:
HTML Code:
adb shell
11. Now a adb shell will open, enter these commands:
HTML Code:
cd system
THEN
chmod 644 build.prop
12. Reboot the device as normal
13. When the device has booted, go to the developer options
14. Scroll down to the bottom of the "Drawing" category
15. Enable multi-window and have some fun!
METHOD 2 -Root
This is the easiest way
1. Go to google Play Store
2. Find BuildProp Editor by JRummy Apps and install
3. In the app, locate Ro.Build.type
4. Change "user" to "userdebug"
5. Then Reboot from the App (normal reboot)
6. Go to developer options, scroll down until you see enable multi window view
Good Luck
