I can't use adb, please don't call me a noob.
I want to install rogro82 modified launcher.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538871&page=10
there's a code in the thread to install using terminal, but it doesn't work.
Can anyone please provide the code to install through terminal.
Thanks!
put it on your sdcard
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp Launcher.apk /system/app
reboot
try that?
You dont even need the code. Just put the .apk into your sd,download Linda File manager or OI file manager, and install with that. It works like a charm. I myself used Linda.
Thanks, but just found out. (also thanks futango )
You can install it using AppManager... since it's .apk.
So far I have ZERO problems too!
Ah ok, didn't think it would work though ...because it installs to /data/app. Eh whatever. good job getting it to work. Switch thread title please.

My text messaging isnt working anymore why is this the rom is super fast for me i love it but i cant get text messages any one having same prob? or know of a solution?
im on this rom and dont have this problem...try pushing a Mms.apk from another hero build
how do you do that?
Code:
adb remount
adb push [directory on your computer that contains the Mms.apk]/Mms.apk /system/sd/app_s/Mms.apk
adb shell reboot
someone correct me if that is the wrong location
since i am going to assume you do not have adb though
go into the recovery terminal and type
Code:
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd/app_s
cd system/sd/app_s
rm Mms.apk
reboot
then have the Mms.apk from another build on your sdcard(fat32) and install it via astro or some other package installer
again someone correct me if that is the wrong location because i am not on a hero build right now or i would confirm the directories myself
Im pretty sure u cant install system apps with astro. Either try the super user file browser from the market, terminal, or adb

hey guys ive been trying to get a apk into system/data/app on my N1 but i cant get it right. so i did some research and saw that i needed to push the files into system/data. I dont have a pc to do it on so how can i do it on my phone with the terminal app? My phone is rooted so it should be a quick and easy deal....Right?
If you have busybox you can:
busybox cp nameoffile.apk /system/app/

Okay but where do i put said file so i can push it? Do i copy it into system/data/app and then push it or what?
Just download it to the SD card.
Use Root Explorer, and just copy the file there. Of course, toggle the /system to be in R/W before you copy (an option in Root Explorer).

if busybox is installed you dont need the "busybox cp"
you can do this
put whatever.apk in sdcard(or download it) then do
go to terminal
cd /sdcard
or
cd /sdcard/download (this only if you downloaded the apk from phone)
then do
ls(to check if file is there)
then do
cp /sdcard/download /system/data
most likely your gonna get a error bout read-only so you might want to do this before doing cp
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
then try again
Root Explorer

I agree, this is probably the easiest way.
So I've recently installed Assonance and have it to the point where I'm almost happy, but I would like to use the stock Captivate Mms.apk. Is this possible? I've tried sending the stock Captivate Mms.apk to the system/app directory, but that did not work.
Thanks for your help.
This is a shameless bump. If it helps anyone, I've also tried to install it via adb, install it via a file explorer from SD, and run it from the system directory with root explorer, all to no avail.
Are you using one from JK3? Or one from Assonance before it had the AOSP MMS? It should work fine. Just push it to /system/app.

I was trying the one from the stock 2.1. I assume that's where my issue lies?
So I found the JK3 ROM and extracted Mms.apk from it, and pushed it to /system/app via adb. I get "Could not launch the requested activity." trying to open it via Launcher Pro. Trying to install it with Root Explorer I get "Application not installed."
Any ideas?
Thanks for you help thus-far.
I'm sorry for posting three times in a row, but at this point I highly doubt anyone is going to reply to this thread unless I bump it.
Does anyone have any ideas at all? I'd really like this solved.
Thank you for your time.
Try this:
adb push Mms.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system/
cd /system/app
rm Mms.apk
cd /sdcard/
cp Mms.apk /system/app
exit
exit
exit

Thanks for your continued assistance, but unfortunately, I get the same issue with that method. I guess I'll just live with the AOSP Mms.apk, unless you have any other ideas
Also, I love the ROM and might have to give Serendipity a try sometime soon.
EDIT: I got it working using the Mms.apk you provided in your Serendipity thread. Thanks for your help again
Hey im just wondering how i could uninstall the stock live wallpapers. Anyone one know how to or can we even do it?
Use some kind of root explorer, adb shell or titanium backup to remove the livewallpaper file.
I think its even called Livewallpapers.apk and located somewhere in system/apps?
i have tried using root explorer to delete the apk file in system/apps but it said the file is read only and cannot delete
Remount as read write, either in adb shell,shell emulator or with sgs tools.
'busybox mount -o remount,rw /system'
OK. Pardon Adndroid Noooobness.
I have the device incompatible Android Market problem with NC.
Running CM7
I found two fixes.
1. Set DPI to 160
2. Edit Build.prop to make nook present itself as smamsung *something S*
I downloaded ROM Toolbox and after going through what I think is EVERY icon and setting I cannot find where or how to change the DPI setting.
I have modified the build.prop file using ES File Explorer but cannot get the file to copy back from the sdcard to the system folder. Protected or in use probably. Tried booting to CW to copy but dont know how to do that either.
How can I get actully appy either of these. I have searched but cannot find this answer.
Thanks
How about just reverting to the old market, clearing the market data/cache and uninstalling the market updater app?
did not seem to help for me
Did that as well and that did not work. As soon as I connected to the Market it closed and updated. This was after removing the updater and clearing the cache.
On another note, does anyone have the BN reader.apk and the Kindle.apk. Hope I have that terminology right, and the instructions for installing apk files. Sure I can find those instructions.
Thanks
To edit the file in /system, start up Terminal, become root by typing "su" and remount the /system partition by typing "mount -o rw,remount /system". Then you can edit all you like. When you're done type "mount -o ro,remount /system" or just reboot.

I have CM7 on an SD card and tried this command. I get the following:
mount: not found
Any suggestions?
I tried this command and I am not sure I am putting it in right. I do not a space "remount/system" and a bunch of commands come up. I do use a space and nothing. Either way, I am unable to edit or copy a new file in. Copy failed or cannot save file.
Do I have to copy from within the Terminal window? After running this command I go into ES file explorer to edit or copy with no luck.
<Set DPI to 160>
There is an app called LCDDensity which allows you to alter the DPI on the nook. If the market allows you to download it, or you are able to sideload it, you might try that.
What happens for me is my market will stop working, then I use LCDDensity to set the DPI to 160 or 240, and reboot. Then the market works, but only for a day or two, and then things seem to reset. (I have tried freezing and renaming the market app, and market updater app, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Then again I'm new to these things myself, and could be missing something silly.)
It isn't an ideal solution, but it seems fine unti a more permanent fix comes along.
