    I'm still learning how to do a lot of this. I searched the forum and didn't find an answer.

    I'm trying to do the map fix for my Droid running Froyo. I did the busybox install through the "problems?" tab in Titanium Backup, and it says that it's installed. Here's the command i'm typing into Terminal Emulator:

    su
    mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 dev/block/mtdblock4 system
    busybox rm system/app/Maps.apk
    cd system/bin
    sh pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
    cd ..
    cd ..
    mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 dev/block/mtdblock4 system
    sync

    After I type the command line the starts with "busybox" it says "busybox: not found" Am I doing something wrong? There's a busybox icon in my download folder. Thanks.

    Titanium Backup & Busybox

    Hi vjaamm,

    Titanium only installs busybox to the Titanium folder (data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files) for it's own use. You need to copy it (use Root Explorer) to system/xbin to be able to use it for other things.

    Good luck,
    Rich

    busybox is available as a download app, free from the market. If you are rooted, it installs it for you, simple as pie.

    also, do a backup first. I used these instructions, not sure what happened but I lost maps altogether and couldn't install new ones on "more froyo". I'm on SS4.1 now, haven't tried them again but have my backup, just in case. The "sh pm..." part wouldn't work for me. I'm guessing I didn't have the shell.

    Rich, I tried doing it that way and still couldn't get it to work.

    Chris, I had no idea it was on the Market. I got it downloaded from there and got Maps installed.

    Both of you, thanks a lot! I used to do this sort of stuff at an arcade I worked at but the phone hacking is pretty different, so it's all still new for me. I appreciate the help.

    Well, not the whole line - leave the "rm /system/app/Maps.apk" in, just remove the word busybox in front.

    sh pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

    removes the app as well..

    Ah, right, of course. That makes sense that it would.
