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

We had are First Sleepless Night with the New baby Boy.... Between Trying Figure out what was Wrong & taking turns with the Wife Holding Aries, I tried Pushing File's & forgot adb push didn't work...
Now this Script originally is what I made for the Behold 2, but the Basic still works For the SGV..
Just mod the script if your using the userinit.sh
Using this script you can place the userinit.sh any place you would Like...
I hope ever gets Good use out of this & Please Enjoy!

Thanks for the script.
Anyone test this with the init script + this?
Sorry for double doubting again ) But i just want confirmation.
Also, Some of us are still having force close and other issues with the init sript. Just FYI.

FYI, I don't have nor Run the inituser.sh, so FC IDK... doubting People Gets Old ( Mainly when you state it )..
I will never Release Something that Don't work &/or would brick a Device!
Script Does work, I'm leaving up to the User to add back in support for userinit.sh though.
~Eugene
Word. so ill wait till someone tests this with the userinit
I think it has something to do with davik cache. I have to figure out a way to clear all cache without wiping. I dont want to go through all that non-sense.
Great work though. *Hats off*
Thank's Eugene for all your hard work,your the sh**
Hey eugene you think your battery hack will work on the vibrant?
sent using my xda app
this won't work with the userinit because it replaces the same file as the userinit. Now it could easily be modified to do both.....

Honestly you could just add the script from userinit.sh inside of the script, or the other way around & should still work fine.
Question, I would like to do as you said. Just add to the userinit
Is the problem just having the system/data mounted? It seems thats all your script does. If so, I can just use a widget to unmount/mount as i go. and not bother to have my system/data mounted all the time Please let me know.
Thanks!
Nicely done! I appreciate the work, I was hoping someone figured out a way to do adb push.. xda to the rescue again
hi, somewhat n00bie-ish (sorry) but what could

Am having the exact same problem, with a Samsung spica (i5700) though. Any ideas?
adb remount is not needed with my script.. system / rootfs is already mount via the script.

so I can find this easier... I wish our Moderator would get on his job...
thanks for your work eugene..

[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..
what to do....

There are a few problems:
First is that there is no adb map to be found. Second is that when i for example enter the command "adb remount" my system doesnt recognise the command..
Thanks for your efforts though
Well. You rooted the phone. So usb debugging is enabled. It has to be for super one click to work.

Try that
Go to C:/Windows/System32
Copy cmd.exe
Paste it in SDK folder, where the ADB.exe is
Than enter my commands

Okee, i must sound liek a real noob. I cannot find this SDK folder and the only file that i can find that relates to adb is adb_usb.exe..
i know that i am a real pain in the ass
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

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.

Camera Application without shutter sound.

here is the LG Optimus Black ArcCamera.apk without shutter sound and focus sound at all.
NOTE: you can`t enable/disable it....it`s disable by default.
I installed the app, and the sound still wasn't disabled.

strange. since I have no shutter sound anymore...
I guess you thought about uninstalling the original ArcCamera.apk before installing this version right?
keep me on current.
how did you install the camera? i tried to run it and it failed to install......
I've already uninstall my stock camera using titanium backup....

running adb shell type this command:
type "su" and press enter
type "mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system"
type "chmod 777 /system/app"
type "exit" and "exit" again
with a file manager go on /system/app and delete ArcCamera.apk
after that in adb run command: "adb push ArcCamera.apk /system/app
it`s going to autoinstall. enjoy
P.S. let me know if the shutter sound is disabled indeed, I`m pretty sure it is but someone said it isn`t though
I install the apk using root explorer...
-mount /system/app ro r/w
-copy ArcCamera.apk from sdcard to /system/app
-change permission ArcCamera.apk same as other apk in the folder
-restart my phone
was that the same? but nothing happened...
Try and go to /system/app/ArcCamera.apk. click on it and go to application manager and then click install.

No, I did not think of that... but anyway now I have and I can't get Adb Shell to work on my computer, I need to use Terminal Emulator on my phone :/ could you make a tutorial for that?

open emulator and:
type "su" (it will ask you for root permisions, you`ll say yes. if doesn`t ask you it will simply announce you that emulator has been granted super user permision and terminal might get stuck - in this case close terminal, open again and type "su" it will work this time)
type "mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system"
type "chmod 777 /system/app"
exit emulator.
next go to /system/app folder and remove original ArcCamera.apk (long press on it -> Edit -> Delete), after you`ve done this, copy the modified ArcCamera.apk in /system/app, click on it and install it. I hope you will succeed.
After I've done that and try to install modded ArcCamera.apk I get this message "Program not installed"

if you are using stock ROM than instead of ext4 in the command line you need to use ext3. sorry

i don`t know why are you having this kind of trouble installing the application, for me worked very very easy. wait for others to test it and let`s see if others are having same troubles as you have...

[REQ] Bell XT860 System.img

If any of the bell users out there would be kind enough to pull their /system folder for me I would be eternally greatful. I think if you open an adb shell on your computer, "su" to get root and then "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p21 of=/sdcard/mmcblk1p21.img" that would be what I'm looking for. Thank you in advance.
Edit ... If a mod wants to move this to general droid 3 I would also be greatful, too many windows open and too many hours messing with this lol. Apologies
Edit 2: ty Danifunker for an helping me w/my broken command, I thought dd would take a directory as input for this lol. Hope you're able to figure out your posting problem .

You might want to post this in general and make the something to the effect of:

I figured "request" = help ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/request ) and "bell xt860 system.img" = the rest. Rooted or unrooted works. Thanks for the help though
