i would guess a bad download. i've never seen a status 2. Ive seen 0, 6 and 7. google doesnt seem to find much either.

google isn't the authority concerning android info. in fact it's lacking like the rest of the net is concerning android information. if you want to learn about it you must dive into the source code...

status 2 i've seen several times, but i've never really figured out what it is definitely. even looking at the source i can't tell you 100% what it means. my experience leads me to believe it is a corrupted file error of some kind. i've gotten it when the whole file didn't get copied to the sdcard before i rebooted the phone using a linux box.

status 7 is the wrong api update-binary and status 6 is failing signature verification i believe.
 
I'm a pretty firm believer that if it exists and you know how to look for it , google is gonna find it. I ended up on a chinese development bbs to finally get that swipe to remove working. still cant find a damn smali guide though

7s could be if you are using AOSP binary mount language on a stock update script.(like if I used your mount language on my binary it wouldnt work.) i also get 6s for lots of dumb little stuff(not switching EOL to UNIX, forgetting a ;, and stuff like that.)

2 being a corrupted error makes sense.
 
yeah try swapper2, or a kernel with swap.

I've never used it and don't really get why people do. involving the sdcard for ram just makes it slower and android is designed to use high levels of the available RAM. I'd much rather run overclocked for games and what not.

system folders in action

Im already rooted and trying to delete apps. when im in the system app the icons appear. But then when I hold press the icon such as facebook and select delete a message appears "cannot be deleted". Ive also installed ES filer explorer. Am I missing something??? I just installed ES task manager and still unable to delete unwanted apps??
 
go into Superuser and scroll to the left and see if all the
rwx-wrx- stuff is in green.

if not, update the binary from there.
 
I updated the binary. message reads: downloading manifest..okay!
parsing manifest okay!
latest version 3.1.1
checking installed version 3.0.3.2
unpacking sutools okay!
checking current install path /system/xbin/su
downloading new binary okay!
gaining root access okay!
remounting /system as rw okay!
copying su to /system fail!
It says to try again. then from the last message: copying su to /system changes to okay!
changing su file mode to 06755 okay!
making sure su works fail!
 
so you can go up to /system level and check files, but cant delete?

did you mount system as writable in ES root settings?
try going into recovery and wiping your cache then rebooting
 
Ok, flashed the deodexed, had to use a separate "Update.zip" which included clockwork mod to flash it, otherwise i got failure to update. What I would like to know now, is where can I get ICS Lookalike Rom?! I want!

Thank you all for your research, work and information.
