Hi, I always update ROMs on my rooted g1
and every time the new ROM is flashed i have to type this on terminal
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/usr/keychars/
dd if=/sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin of=trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
(there is a file on my sd card)
with this my hard keyboard got the german layout. but on every rom update it changes again to the US layout..
is it possible to make it easier then typing all the time this?
thx for uor help
You can try this:

You have to manually push the keyboard files using adb....something like this:
Code:
adb remount
adb push c:\usr /system/usr
adb shell reboot
Thats assuming you got the folder usr on the root of your C hard drive....you can get that folder out of CMod, WG or almost any other 1.6 rom here. If you need any more help, just ask

In your case, you are going to need the "usr" folder out of a german rom or something, and place it on the root of your C drive.

Hello folks, i have a quick question... i have cyan mod 4.1.99 installed on my phone which im sure comes equipped with busybox. I am trying to find the commands that i would type into terminal emulator to push .apk files without having to use adb.. my pc went up and all i have is my g1 phone now. Is it possible to do what adb does like install, push, and pull files through terminal emulator and busybox? If so what are the commands, or is there a thread with a list of commands? Thanks in advance
to install an app
busybox install <path to apk>
there may be an arguement im missing.....but it should still work (if you put in a random argument or do -h or -help, it should give you the lists. i dont remember what they are though)
for moving files, use the mv and cp commands (mv = move, cp = copy paste)
ie
cp /sdcard/app/heroled.apk /system/sd/app

Im trying to copy a file to system/app/ but it says " read only file system"
So i type in a command i found " mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2 /dev/black/mtdblock3 /system"
But then after i put in the command it stills says read only. Is there a non pc method to remount the system as read/write ? Or should that code work? Another thread said it should change the system

I ve noticed that many people have posted having problems with keyboard layouts after flashing a rom. I have a German G1 which was rooted to Cyanogens 4.2.14.1 before, and I never had problems keeping the phone in English but retaining the German keyboard (I ve gotten use to it).
But after flashing Super D just now (which is AWESOME), my keyboard has defaulted back to the U.S keyboard, which is really annoying.
Anyone know exactly why this problem didnt exist in Cyanogens rom and why it does exist with SuperD? Also, Im assuming this is something I have to live with, as I couldnt find an easy fix for it? I really just want the German keyboard back.
Any help would really be appreciated.
1.SuperD isnt Cyanogen
2.Most Likely in the scripts that have to do with the keyboard.
Hope that didnt sound rude but yeah =/ You would probably have to change something in the system/usr directory.
I had the same problem and solved it like so:
1.) DL and unzip the zip file I have attached
2.) copy the file to your SD card root folder
3.) open a Terminal Emulator app and type the following (press Enter after each line and allow if it ask for permission):
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/usr/keychars/
dd if=/sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin of=trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
4.) Reboot your phone.
5.) Profit...
You will have to do this after every ROM flash, but it literally just takes a few seconds, so not worth mentioning.

This is exactly what I tried, but after the "dd if=/sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin of=trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin" command in terminal, I get an error that says:
"cannot open for write: Read-only file system"
Not sure what Im doing wrong. I unzipped the file, put it on sd card, and entered in the commands.
I heard this method works for everyone, but for some reason I get this error when i try it.
Sadly, I'm not to familiar with linux or coding in general, but I would assume something went wrong when remounting. Your system folder seems to remain read-only...
Maybe someone more qualified can help with the right command line... ?
Edit
make sure there is a space between mtdblock3 and /system like so (shown red):
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3SPACE/system

Still no luck. I double checked, and its typed correctly. I tried swapping this command:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
for this one:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (found in another thread)
but it still didnt work. After I tried using the "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" command that I found in the other thread, I didnt get the error, and thought this may have fixed the keyboard. But when I rebooted, the keyboard was still wrong.
Sorry dude, that's all I got. All I can say is, it works for me.
Maybe this'll help?

I'm trying to copy a Camera.apk from my sdcard into the /system/app/
so far this is what i've come up with and I get an error saying I don't have the permission to Change the original Camera.apk:
su
cp /sdcard/Camera.apk /system/app/
reboot
Can somebody please help me with this? I just switched from Win7 to Linux and I realized that using the terminal emulator might be the fastest way to do this without installing the sdk.

Use the mount line from this thread:
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
that should work..
Thank you

What i did:
via adb:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs4 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
chmod 777 /system/xbin
adb push hidd /system/xbin
failed to copy 'hidd' to '/system/xbin/hidd': out of memory
What is the problem?
Thank you guys!

We don't have /system rw access. Your best bet is to make a flashable zip for it
That solved the problem, but according to the topic, it dont work on a sense rom On my Pulse i have used Bluekeyboard Jp but on wildfire it isnt working too
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

I think you can write to /system if you first do
Code:
adb reboot recovery[code]
then remount,rw ect....
Ok, with openfire it is working, Bluekeyboard Jp which on sense rom didnt, here it is also working. What is missing from the sense rom?

try: adb shell mount -o remount,rw system
Code:
adb remount
It should do the trick too

lol, that's shorter indeed
adb remount will only remount an existing mount, it won't create one.
It's not clear what the OP wants.
You don't need rw to deodex a ROM because you certainly don't want to write to system whilst you're doing it.
Also, I thought the stock ROM was deodexed?
To mount system in recovery, which will give you rw access and allow you to pull the files you need you just type:
Code:
mount /system
or
Code:
adb shell mount /system
Because system is included in /proc/mtd
to all: the answer is:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system

Hi, this seems to work for me:
Open a terminal (Command Prompt).
type adb shell
type su
You should see a # in your prompt.
type mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
and Bingo! Your /system is now mounted as r/w. [NOTE: There will be no confirmation message. Your command will simply be printed again, and that means its a success)
The possible error might be that you forgot the su part. I'm making a wild guess that it stands for superuser. The first time I tried this, I didn't know about the 'su' and I wasted a little time because of that.
Hope this helped.
