Again, I would move this to the urgent forum, but I can't afford to. In my opinion it is urgent because It is hindering me from continuing to learn new things and then applying them to my script.
So if anyone could help me out, I would gladly give some bits ( the little a do have).

I see you (or someone else that uses the same nick) have a project on Sourceforge with that script.

First I would like to ask, are you sure this is legal? I mean removing ads from apps?

thanks for the pointer but I would like to fix the bug before I focus on non code breaking things.
@mbf123
Please re-read my post. It is what has broken your script. You need to fix those places first.

On the same theme I would change
Code:
if [ `id -u` != 0 ]

to
Code:
if [ "`id -u`" -ne 0 ]

just to make sure...
Another useful technique may be to add:
"set -xv" near the top somewhere, and re-run the script. May tell you which test is failing.

You have places where an "echo" has become two lines when it should be one line.

Code:
echo "You will need to meet
the following requirements..."

echo "2. This script must be located
@ /var/mobile"

echo "Have you completed the requirements
and still want to continue?"

Each of the three examples above needs the linefeed removed from the end of the first line.

Check carefully against the original code in case you have more paste errors.
I am a little confused by what you mean. Could you give me an example fix? Also I updated the code, does it look ok?
Btw, the code worked until recently, so I know the if statements don't require quotes or anything.

Nope that project is NOT MINE. SmilieSmilie

But I did hear that it is legal since Source Forge checks the project out, before accepting the program into their website. They let him in!

Well, in this case I would first ask the project owner for support Smilie
