Same here. I was to use adb pull to pull my apps. Then I used:
adb push app-private /system/sd/app-private
reboot
to push my private apps back to phone. It was sucessful but all were broken files I had to re-install 1 by 1 w/ appinstaller. as well...

Why don't you adb install them all, not push.
for %%f in ("[folder with apps]\*.apk") do adb install -f "%%f"
You don't need the -f, that only forces the install/upgrade if app is present.

Did you push them to /system/sd/app or /system/sd/ ?

And did you reboot? lol sorry sometimes its the simplest answers. when you push that many files, it may take a while to dexopt them

How did you adb push app-private with no %pathto% in front of it? And don't push to any specific folder just push to
/system/sd/
adb shell reboot

if he is running the prompt from the same folder that contains the app-private folder, its not necessary to have a path
i.e
C:\appbackup\> adb push app-private /system/sd/app-private
assuming there is a folder, app-private, within the folder appbackup

Ahh true I didn't think about that. Alright well I learned something new tonight and figured out that I am too tired to think clearly so helping people should be called quits tonight.

[MOD] Stock lockscreen

Ok i managed to get the stock lockscreen if you all want to use it.
There is a possibility that the file i signed has a different signature, but i dont think it will.
Remember make a backup! always.
If your phone gets messed up it is not my fault.
I have warned you, so here you are. EDIT: Unzip the file then push the one inside of the zip.
put the file i uploaded in /system/framework ............. let me know what you think!
Thank to : Ateisti for giving the info on how to modify it.
If you want to go back to your old lockscreen download the enable_glass_lock.zip, unzip it, and push the enable_glass_lock to /data/local
If your signature is different it will get stuck on the samsung, you can then restore your backup.
and if you want it then run these instructions:
You need to use adb not rootexplorer
DO this while in cwm recovery
1. Rename the file you downloaded to patched.odex
2. adb push it to your /system/framework
3. adb shell then cd into /system/framework
4. run this
dd if=android.policy.odex of=patched.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
5. exit shell
6. adb pull the android.policy.odex for backup
7. adb shell cd /system/framework
8. rm android.policy.odex
9. mv patched.odex android.policy.odex
reboot and you should have stock lockscreen.

You are the ****ing man!

How well does this work with the alarm silencing and incoming calls? Thanks!!!
EDIT: Never mind...testing it out.

I'm a little confused... do we need to just change the file to android.policy.jar or leave it the name that it is and just move it to /system/framework
thanks!

Keep the name and adb push it to /system/framework (you might want to backup your old one) you can backup by "adb pull /system/framework/android.policy.jar"
You can also install it using root explorer if you want.

See I'm still confused, cause there is no file named android.policy (samsung fascinate) in the folder "framework" but there is android.policy.jar
Should I unzip the downloaded file then push that?

yep, unzip first...

Quick question, does this take away the option for the other two lockscreens, ie glass and puzzle? If not I can throw this in my theme port (with your permission of course) and also theme this lockscreen as well.

Your more then welcome to use it, but It does not give an option. So you would have to create a seperate theme for people who would just want the stock lockscreen.

I've tried installing this twice with root explorer, and both times my phone gets stuck on the Samsung logo when I reboot.
To install the file, I unzip the download and then place the .odex file in /system/framework. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

your signature isnt the same as my file. you can try to do this but you need to use adb not rootexplorer
DO this while in cwm recovery
1. Rename the file you downloaded to patched.odex
2. adb push it to your /system/framework
3. adb shell then cd into /system/framework
4. run this
dd if=android.policy.odex of=patched.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
5. exit shell
6. adb pull the android.policy.odex for backup
7. adb shell cd /system/framework
8. rm android.policy.odex
9. mv patched.odex android.policy.odex
reboot and you should have stock lockscreen.

hey man, i'm new to all this i've done all that u said, but what is the command to pull the android.policy.odex from the phone? I think i'm putting the wrong directory in the command because I keep getting "remote object '......android.policy.odex' does not exist" thanks for this, btw i really dislike that puzzle piece unlock bs.
nevermind, I wasn't in cwm when doing it the first time. Thanks again.

I like this, can't wait to try it.

hmm... you used the file i attached and did eveything in adb? try again, i'd like to help more, but if you did everything step by idk...
You did it in cwm recovery right?

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I did it in clockwork recovery. I may of had some confusion on the second to last step. I'll try again when I get home.
Two questions: Is the silent slide functional, and are the last two steps verbatim.
Thanks again.

Silent mode is functional.

[Q] where to i push an .apk too?

when pushing an .apk through adb, where to i push it? for example, you put in the .apk file name
com.fede.launcher.v.0.8.1.1.apk/system/???
i don't know where to push it to get it on my hero lol.
can anyone plz help me noob self out?

Where you push it to is completely situational.
If you want the application to be a "system" app you would push it to /system/app/
Code:
adb remount
adb push ./appnamehere.apk /system/app
Like for example a Home such as the one you wrote - LauncherPro.
Otherwise you can push apps to /data/app - which is where most of your market downloaded/non-market (unknown source) apps get installed to.
Code:
adb push ./appnamehere.apk /data/app
(the rest go to /data/app-private but that doesn't matter here)

ok thanks so much for the reply! i will do that. and since i want to put in a new launcher i have to remove the old one first?

You could keep the old one there if you wanted, but if you're never going to use it you might as well remove it

[Q] Stock Captivate Mms.apk on Assonance

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

[Help]

i have problem here
i goto the system/app and i replace the file SystemUI.apk with other file and i restart phone and not load with startup
and i back original file SystemUI.apk and not get load i need help please to make it load again

You probably used the wrong systemUI for your ROM. Just reflash your ROM.

U can try ADB push to put the SystemUI.apk and set permissions..
Code:
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app
adb shell
chmod 755 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
