Guest Paul Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 As promised, this is a fully working proof of concept of removing items from /system on NAND / EMMC locked devices with only temproot / root. This application removes the stock Google Goggles install on the T-Mobile G2, which is useful because the stock Goggles install cannot be updated. DOH! Further 'stock app removal' utilities will follow. Notes: This application is only for the T-Mobile G2Temproot is required to runUninstall after useThe device will reboot twice during the removal process. The application is downloadable now from the Android Market - search for 'G2'. Enjoy! :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest joninatl Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Beautiful Paul!!! Genius! Care to share the mechanism behind how it does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Well, it's pretty neat... the stock recovery deletes update zips when it's finished with them... so I tell it to run /system/app/GoogleGoggles.apk as an update zip... which it tries to do. Then deletes it. And reboots. :) Job done. Genius no? :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest joemm Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Awsome Paul, Thanks so much, any chance of getting Finance app removed especial since its always running?? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilnotdie Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) Hi Paul, if you get a chance, could you post steps/files to revert the changes to goggles. I'm hoping to reinstall the original goggles app and then install the OTA. Without losing all my stuff reverting to stock. Thanks.
