you can just adb push to /system/sd/app_s/

So it would be
Adb install /system/sd/app_s/nameofapp.apk
Or
Adb push /system/sd/app_s/nameofapp.apk

if it's on your sdcard, go to the terminal and type
cp /sdcard/blahblah.apk /system/sd/app_s

glad you got it figured out, and for anyone else that may read this later, it would have been
Code:
adb push nameoffile.apk /system/sd/app_s/

[Request] Transparent HTC_IME

Hey themers and modders,
I saw somewhere there was a transparent HTC_IME in a theme.
thing is, I dont remember what theme it is.
So my request it for someone to make the HTC_IME from here
thanks in advance.
agreed... that would be nice. i'm actually working on getting it now, if i do i'll post it here
WOuld be nice to se a screenshot of what you are talking about.
Wicked,

Would love to post it. but I can't find the original theme that had the IME. I can't remember the name. and I can't remember if its in here or the Dream Theme forum.
edit : found the original thread with the transparent HTC_IME
link
its the 8th picture in the first post.
thing is, i am not sure if its based on the original HTC_IME (that requires htc framework files) or the one modified to run on its own (like the one i linked to in my OP).
I have this one, its stock with 50% opacity added to the background. If you need it completely transparent I can do that for you just let me know.

- download astro file manager from the market
- put a copy of htc_ime.apk on your sd card
- select this file in astro, then select app manager
- press the 'uninstall' button
- select the htc_ime.apk file again
- this time, install it
this will remove the existing version which is causing the conflict and let you reinstall the new themed version.
for CM 4.2.3.1 just push the apk to /system/app/ using adb. reboot and you're done

It doesn't ask for root permission? Which ROM are you using?
Regaw 1.3.1 when I go in I long press the apk, hit delete, it acts like its deleting but nothing happens
Sounds like you need to mount the system partition. Unfortunately I have no idea what the command is (you need to use Terminal Emulator), because I only use ADB and my computer.

I'm not sure about Regaw mod, but I thought that it had SU Permissions app installed...if your file manager isn't getting root access, that could be the problem (sounds like it to me anyway). You can either follow the ADB instructions, or install Estrong...
yeah, SUFBS doesn't let me delete anything from the phone... weird.... all the icons show with a "lock" symbol on it.

What ROM are you running? The ROM you are running probably installed setcpu to system so you would have to pull the old version using adb or you might be able to use a file explorer to find it and delete it.

Remount and then do it again.
Or download root explorer and browse to /system/app and delete the .apk from there.

why does it say you cannot install? its the fault of the rom dev of including it in his build. see if you can find and delete the app from /system/app
it may be that mod that you mentioned
su
remount
rm /system/app/setCpuWidgetMod.apk

From what I see it does not give me reason it just says "Install unsuccessful"
tried:
su
remount
rm /system/app/setCpuWidgetMod.apk
on terminal and gave me same error "Read only file system"
also, when I typed "remount, it said "remount not found"...
If u install it, and while its downloading click the progress bar to get to the setcpu description screen in market, it'll show u the reason it failed.
Most likely it'll say something like insufficient space - which actually is a result of it not being able to overwrite the existing apk thats installed. To find the actual apk try this
find / -name *setcpu*
You should get a list of all files with setcpu on your phone. rm -F the correct apk. If its on /system you will need to do 'adb remount' from your windows command prompt, then open a adb shell before you can delete it.
btw it may actually be these two:
rm /data/data/com.mhuang.overclocking
rm /data/app/com.mhuang.overclocking-1.apk

I looked inside the /data/ with ASTRO but there is nothing in there...
Yeah not sure why astro shows it empty. It may be because it doesnt run with root privaledges and only requests them when you try to delete something.
Use adb to check.

yes this is because the old one is installed.
Use ES file explorer...not sure if its root access will work on that rom but it should

[Q] Deleted LG-home, no backup.. now what?

First post! So hello,
I made a big screwup. First i rooted my lg-p990, next i deleted lg-home using Titatium Free. I did not backup my file. Also i never installed a new homescreen.
When finishing this action, the phone didnt respond anymore. Now it wont restart. It is still possible to connect to pc and view sd cards. Also it will restart bringing the installation sequence, but when finishing it, the phone stops responding again.
I realise i havent been very smart. But does anybody have a solution?
Im guessing you will have to push the apk through adb.... but as i have limited knowledge on this i would wait until someone more experienced gives you help!

Short answer for you:
1) Download my attachement
2) Rename it from .zip to .apk
3) Put in adb folder
4) Run:
adb remount
adb push LGLauncher.apk /system/app/
adb reboot
doesn't pushing apks to system/app require root? Correct me if I'm wrong

My next problem is that i dont know how to operate adb. I've got android sdk installed, but cant find how to work with adb.. What to do?
-edit-
I did some more research, and i cant use the commandline to acces :\android-sdk-windows\tool. This path doesn excist. Neither am i sure if USB-debugging is activated on the phone. I cannot acces the phones menu, so i cannot check..

Well. You rooted the phone. So usb debugging is enabled. It has to be for super one click to work.

Paste it in SDK folder, where the ADB.exe is

If you manage to get a working adb connection the commands you need to execute are. Please make sure that the phone is unlocked when typing su (you will get a su access prompt on the phone and need to press allow)
adb push LGLauncher.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system
stop
cp /sdcard/LGLauncher.apk /system/app/
reboot
problem solve
E-mail download link of the LGhomeLaunger.apk
Download on you phone and install.
It works as new!
Ok i solved the problem, thanks for thinking along with me..
It seemed i could still recieve emails, so i just sent the lghome.apk as a downloadlink true email..
it worked!
i guess sometimes solutions are not always as dificult!

well...
that is not a permanent fix.
when you install that way it is only installed in user space... If you ever factory reset the phone you will be stuck without a launcher again... and probably no way to config ur email :-(
you need to put the launcher apk file on your sd card... and then copy it to the /system/app folder using root explorer.
If you do this it will be fixed even after a factory reset...
anyway. Next time just freez apps. Dont uninstall them. If they are only frozen you can allways factory reset to get them back.
