Undo a mod applied via zip file from recovery

[npark]

Hey guys, I'm using Warm 2.2 RLS 4, and I applied the Gormorrah Desire Flip Clock. This was done while in recovery and I applied the zip file.

After running with it for a week, I've decided it's not for. However, since I applied the change from the zip file, how can I undo or uninstall those changes?

Short of reflashing the ROM, what other methods are available? Can this be done from ADB? If so, what is the procedure?

Thanks!

You have to find what new files the zip created and what other ones it over-wrote. I'm not sure how you're going to 100% remove this, though I'm sure there's a way with a copy of the original rom and a copy of the zip file you used to update. If it were me, I'd erase the files from the updated zip then I'd look at the rom and install any of the ones that were replaced.

I think I'd probably just do the ROM over - it's really a best practice to make a quick nandroid before installing things via recovery if you're not sure about it.

Just use Titanium Backup to save everything and reflash the ROM that the safe way and you will hqve everything back the way it is now.

Yea Before you did the Mod you were suppose to do a Nand Back up

That way you restore the back up and Mod is Gone...

I guess for future reference Always do a Nand backup before Applying Mods

Yeah, the screenshots looked a lot cooler than it actually does.

I know why and how to do a nandroid backup, I just neglected to do it this time. Lesson learned I guess.

I actually really like the Clock Mod...

It goes well with how I themed out MYN

But Indeed Lesson Learned...

Ok d3xn2o I gained root access using unrevoked. However when I tried to install a custom rom I could not get my device to reboot. I guess I am asking as long as I have root access where do I go here to avoid making the same mistake again?

I can't believe there is not an easier more direct way to undo a mod other than restoring with a nand. Can you not just delete the .zip file off the root of the sd and reboot? Help me out here experts.

Nope,the reason you do a nadroid backup is the .zip you flash replaces files and you have to overwrite whatever it is that the .zip wrote over in the first place.
If you want to dig into the .zip you flashed and see what apks it replaced,then you could grab them from whatever rom you were running before hand and either make a update.zip to flash them like you did the mod or you could adb push the back in.

Im in the adb commands and looking through them, and saw a command labled as "adb uninstall [-k] <package>" definition, remove this app package from the device. K means keep the data and cache directories...mayyyybe thats it?
