[Dev][2.3][Fixed] How to remove stock apps that stored in cust.img?

---

I installed 2.3 to my phone.

The cust.img contain a lot of unneeded apks. (The cust.img is a disk image file.)

How to extract cust.img and delete a file in that?

The cust.img mounted to /cust folder as "read only" by init.rc (init.rc automatically generated on boot)

Is cust.img or cust_data.img? See on /cust_backup/image/cust...

This is cust.img in image folder. (When pink screen mode)

I never change or delete anything on that place (when pink screen mode). I make all on /cust_backup/image/recovery.img or /cust... don't remember all.
Is from here that at each restarting or rebooting is loaded the bootloader (pink screen).

I deleted in this place all Carrier data /cust_backup/image/cust... something.

But take care, that /image/ is backed also on ROM Backups. If you delete the /cust... like I made, and if one day you made a ROM Restore made before, the /cust... return to same place. You must delete this after each ROM Restore.

For all restores I have, I made: Rom Restore-> delete /cust... (carrier data) -> new Rom backup.


..................................
EDIT: I made all this because I'm rooted and whit Root Explorer.

I dont want to delete cust.img.

The cust.img is a disk image file.

I want to delete a file in disk image that contained in cust.img.

The cust.img mounted to /cust folder as read only on boot.

i delete all boot files.

I delete all of boot files in this folder.When i open phone i faced blue screen. can someone zip all files in this folder and upload for me. Otherwise i have to send my phone to technical service.

I fixed it.

I deleted all unneeded apks (stock apps) that stored in cust.img

My method;

1. On Slitaz Linux 3.0
2. Open terminal
3. Copy cust.img from phone to /home folder
4. mkdir tmp
5. mount cust.img /home/tmp
6. cd /home/tmp/hw/default/app
7. Delete apk files what you don't want
8. umount tmp
9. Copy cust.img from /home folder to phone

It is for who don't have linux;

This is "cleared" cust.img. That contains only these apks;

BeyondTheSkyTheme.apk
Calendar.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
DeskClock.apk
ToolBox.apk

modify init.rc

    mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /.cust_backup ro wait
    mount ext3 loop@.cust_backup/image/cust.img /cust ro

to

    mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /.cust_backup rw wait
    mount ext3 loop@.cust_backup/image/cust.img /cust rw

then you could delete any files in cust.img..(/cust in phone)

The init.rc automatically generating on boot.
Changes lost when you reboot your phone.
