How do you "push" an app to be a system/app?
*Like phone finder.

Depends adb or terminal?
adb-
Code:
adb remount
adb push <path to file>\file /system/app
terminal-
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/file /system/app

soo.. like, using phone finder[/B] for example, how do i put it?
for the terminal

I don't know the file name for the app, but it should be something like
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /data/app/*finder* /system/app

thanks you!

You can also use astro/linda file-- jus select it and use the package installer... less typing... less to remember... works just as well

You sure that will install it as a system app & not a regular app?
Because, it says you need to install phone finder as a system app in order to text auto-enable gps. & that's the whole reason for this.

Its most likely: com.yuki.phonefinder.apk

sorry
it worked.
i just had to fix_permissions
& after that it moved to system app

Thanks! Going to try them out now
Just wanted to add that they work fine, now just to figure out how to flash a different boot image to get rid of the AT&T World Phone logo.
Why dont you flash with the GT-I9000 rom and say goodbye to At&t everything?

Didn't they free the brothers back in January 1865?
Hi,
How did you get these into the right folders?
What commands did you use?
Tried root explorer and su file manager and they won't paste ther files into system/etc or system/media.
adb gives a no access and can't use adb remount to push file.
So I am stuck.
Thanks

hm.i guess that would not be a good idea as they are not 100% the same. replacing the custom stuff is the easy and secure solution for the time being.

I used Root Explorer and copied them. You would have to mount the /system folder with RW permissions in ADB or just click the Mount RW button in Root Explorer before copying them over.

This is the reason why, the generic Galaxy S FW does not work with the Captivate.
Hi,
For some reason root explorer wouldn't paste these.
But I did figure out a way with adb.
I copied all 3 files to my sdcard 1st
These are the commands I used in case they are of help to anyone:
D:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9
mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /s
# busybox cp /sdcard/PowerOn.wav /system/etc
busybox cp /sdcard/PowerOn.wav /system/etc
and
D:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
# busybox cp /sdcard/bootsamsungloop.qmg /system/med
busybox cp /sdcard/bootsamsungloop.qmg /system/media
# busybox cp /sdcard/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media
busybox cp /sdcard/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media

Unrooted but unable to remove superuser.apk

Hi all,
I've successfully unrooted in order to return the phone for a replacement but I'm still seeing the superuser permissions app.
My method for unrooting was opening up terminal on my phone and using this code:
Code:
su
rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
rm -r /system/bin/su
Now it all worked fine and dandy except it was unable to find Superuser.apk
**Forgot to mention that I'm on Tmobile with the Samsung Vibrant**
Found a fix. Had to re-root and remove it with the following code in the phone's terminal application:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm Superuser.apk
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Then just proceeded with another unroot and factory reset.
I know, this is very old but... Nobody said thanks, and i really needed to remove the FrEaGiN application, i tried everything but this solution was the only one wich helped me out, thank you!

Thank you for posting this info. This was a needle in a hay stack. I did not want to ODIN back and I needed Superuser removed from my device for the company Zenprise app. Does not work on Rooted phones.
faldiin
very useful, I saved it for the future. If any app gets hard to eliminate, now i have the solution, thanks
Yeah, you can also use Titanium Backup or any of the other "Uninstallers" around.
And how to only remove Superuser data?
I mean, I want Superuser to ask me again if I grant or not superuser-permision.
I need this because I have in Superuser 5 times Titanium Backup.
All has the same id but only one has the Titanium Backup icon and the other doesn't.
And if I try deleting the app from the list... the app just go to "Denied" but still there.
So, I want to delete the whole data so I get a clean list of apps.
Thanks a lot!

Try going into Superuser and deleting what you want. Or simply change it to granted

It did work when I deleted Supeuser data from Settings>App>All.
Thanks for your idea... but that did not work.
Just had a thought. Re-root your phone then try using a root explorer to remove it from /System/apps.

Hi, I know this was posted a long time ago but I was wondering if you could help me. I bought a rooted Sprint evo a while ago and now I can't unroot it. I can't uninsured Superuser and it's not even listed in my downloaded apps. Do you know of anyway that I'd be able unroot?

[MOD] 4.1.57 deodexed framework and app files (AT&T Only)

Here are the App and Framework system files for 4.1.57 fully deodexed.
You must already have Root access in 4.1.57.
Typical disclaimer as always...
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This is for experienced users only please.
Remember to make a backup of your existing framework and app folders BEFORE you do this.
Link: Atrix-1.57deodexed IGNORE the instructions in the zip. Updated ones below.
Feel free to mirror.
Note: Photoedit.apk was pulled form the 1.26 Adeo file as the 1.57 version would not deodex properly.
This file did not change from 1.26. to 1.57, so I see no issue with using it.
UPDATE: The instructions contained in the zip have an error... oops.
This is why I don't write scripts. I type to fast.
Hopefully some of you guys caught that before entering the commands.
Again, backup your original system/framework and system/app files BEFORE you do this in case you want to revert back to an odexed system.
Here is the correction:
Put your phone in USB Mass Storage Device mode.
Copy the app and framework directory and their contents from the zip file to the root of your sdcard.
***Verify the copy was successful before you continue.***
Set USB mode back to None.
Type the following commands via ADB.
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp /sdcard/app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/framework/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
reboot
Thanks, you beat me to it!

I deodexed them last night, but wanted to run through some testing before I packaged them up.
Anyone feel like scripting this, go for it.
I must have done something wrong in shell... soft brick, certain it was my fault.

It looks like this isn't complete. There are some files in framework that you did not deodex, installing this on any phone will very likely brick.

What is missing?
Running on mine without any issues at all.
EDIT:
I see what you're talking about and it's a non-issue if you follow the commands to load them.
The 4 files missing from the framework folder were not odexed to begin with, so the originals will remain.
Remember, I'm not having anyone delete the entire contents of the framework folder, only the .odex files AFTER they copy over the deodexed versions first.
rm /system/framework/*.odex
These files are not odexed to begin with, so they are not touched.
blur-res.apk
framework-res.apk
moto-res.apk
android.test.runner.jar
You will also notice that 19 files are missing from the app folder as well... again, I'm not deleting any .apk files in the instructions, only the .odex files.
The 19 .apk files that are not included in my zip file are already present on a 1.57 system in a deodexed state.
I saw no point in adding them.
Make sense now?

Question, possibly a dumb one but anyway it is. . . I couldn't get the script for root on update to work so if I go this route is it the same as getting from moto and is it possible to still have root with it?

I am still on 4.1.26 rooted and deodexed. Do I have to update my phone to 4.1.57 before copying the framework and apps folder? I know the script in OP won't work in my case but I can come up with another script. Thanks.

Right - this is only for 4.1.57. If you do it on 4.1.26 you'll get a soft brick.
rjohnstone, its always best to do stuff like this under Early USB Enumeration mode. It is possible to get it to stop the automatic rebooting by typing "stop" into the console.

Thx for the tip.
I did use the stop command in my process and was able to prevent a reboot.
The process is so quick that I didn't see a single FC during the copy.
I think it should be mentioned in the OP that root is required.

How to get r/w in ADB

I currently have the 1080p 30fps camera mod on and I'm wanting to go back to the original, i have the camera.apk to go back on but when I try to push it, it says READ ONLY FILE SYSTEM.
I had a hunt around and found this but didn't work
adb shell sysrw
adb push (file name.apk /system/app/)
adb shell sync
adb shell sysro
then i found this
adb shell mount -o remount,rw,codepage=utf8,vfat,xattr,check=no /dev/stl5 /system
and that didn't work, Im pretty new to ADB etc and trying to get the hang of it so take it easy on me

Hi, You can download the original LGE-Camera.apk file below...
Google or yahoo or find your way to get an app called: root manager(Paid app on market)
Not suppose to talk about 'where-to-download-paid-app' here... So i guess you need to google.
Copy the Camera.apk to SDCARD
Go to System>App>, Mount R/W, Delete the camera app.
Go back to SDCARD and cut/copy the camera.apk
Return to System>App>Paste file here.
You can see the 'Mount R/W' Button on the 'App' folder itself. So don't ask me how to mount R/W.
Cheers A reboot may be necessary.
in adb you need to enter
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

ATTENTION: wifi modules path was changed in cm-9-0419

In the latest cm9 nightly build - update-cm-9-20120419-NIGHTLY, my wifi is not work with my own kernel.
So, I checked the catalog, and found this: wifi modules was changed.
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/14910/1/BoardConfigCommon.mk
old path: /system/modules/bcm4329.ko
new path: /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
It will cause your wifi not work with custom kernel.
If your wifi is not work, just make a symbol link, type these command in the terminal:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
ln -s /system/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
#Thanks Paragon_X, I forgot to tell you to remount /.
mount -o remount,ro /system
Or, you are the kernel developer, your should put your kernel modules in both path, or link them.
Thanks
I confirm this change as well and the fix worked.
I have the wifi authentication problem. Do I flash the download link from the link you posted?

Okay thanks so regarding the command written... is there spaces in there or am I seeing things?
ln -s /system/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
I'm not familiar with typing in superuser so I have to ask
There are spaces.
If you are unfamiliar with the spaces, then you will be unfamiliar with the before and after commands around that command too:
mount -o remount,rw /system
and
mount -o remount,ro /system
Thanks for the fix!

Thanks that will be handy for surprised users, if CM actually thought things through, they would link the dirs to allow a transition time where kernels work with modules in old location and new location.

Hi,im kinda really noob at this stuff atm but do we type this in command prompt or terminal emulator (or any other program like that). And can someone confirm the code is:

Im using matrix kernel v19 cfs and the latest CM9 v7. Trying to get the wifi working now and its hard.
Heres what i have done using terminal emulator
Typed in "su". Pressed enter. I granted super user permissions.
Typed in "mount -o remount,rw /system" . Pressed enter. Didnt say anything
Typed in "ln -s /system/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko". Pressed Enter
It showed up "link failed File exists"
now its changed to "255|[email protected]:/". Before it was "[email protected]:/"
I than typed in "mount -o remount,ro /system"
My wifi still doesnt work
I'll reply here to. The reason you can not link (ln) is that there is a file where you are trying to add a "shortcut" just remove the bcm*.ko file in /system/lib/modules and copy the module from /system/modules there. I used root explorer then it's just cut and paste

I'll reply here to. The reason you can not link (ln) is that there is a file where you are trying to add a "shortcut" just remove the bcm*.ko file in /system/lib/modules and copy the module from /system/modules there. I used root explorer then it's just cut and paste

I still have no luck. Is the error everyone getting the authentication problem? and simply wifi indicator wont popup?
For all the people who dont get this too well, especielly me. Could an experienced, someone who knows this, write out the complete instructions and codes to do it. Preferably in detail because some of us have no idea what we are suppose to do. And suggest what type of programs we should be using. thanks in advance.
Ok. Let's take it from the start. When android boots it loads the kernel to handle all the drivers and inner workings of the OS. It also loads modules, that's optional drivers loaded on demand. Now CM9, used to load it's modules from /system/modules but has changed it's location to /system/lib/modules. This is new to the people making custom kernels which kernel installs it's modules in the wrong place. This makes the new kernel try to load the old module but fails because of different kernel source versions. Now, our task is to move the new module in /system/modules to /system/lib/modules overwriting the old one.
Start a terminal.
Type su and enter to become superuser which is the only user with rights to change system files.
Now if there is a box asking you to allow this, press allow.
Now type:
mount -o remount, rw /system
This will make the system folder and child folders writable.
type:
rm /system/lib/modules/bcm*
That will remove the old module.
Type:
cp /system/modules/bcm* /system/lib/modules
Reboot and it should work.
