Eclair Keyboard...(?)

Hello people,
i just tried to compile the LatinIME (default android keyboard) from the eclair repo for donut, at which i apparently succeeded after removing the Contacts-suggestion feature... however i didn't recognize any kind of multitouch capability yet... does it have to be enabled somewhere else?
well, i'm just gonna post the file here and let you guys take a look at it...

just do:

adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app
adb shell reboot

Needs to be a 2.0 multi-touch kernel.

alright, gotta wait for the tmo update then

a multi touch keyboard won't work on the g1. the g1 can only detect the distance between two touch inputs, but not the actual location of two different inputs.

[Q] adb remount

Hi guys,
sorry if my english isnt so good...
i'm in trouble with ADB..
i want to upgrade my swype keyboard on my NEW M1 rom eu....i got the 1.58 and i want to try the 1.60..
i found a thread on this forum with commands for upgrading the swype like this way:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
pm list packages -f | grep swype
rm /system/app/<restOfApkPathFoundInAboveCommand>
pm uninstall <value after apk= found in result of 2 commands above>
exit
Install normally. If you want the apk in the rom:
adb push <newSwype.apk> /system/app/<newSwype.apk>
adb remount
adb shell
pm install <newSwype.apk>
(found here-> LINK)
I'm stuck at the beginning:
Code:
C:\android\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
9000ec2a228b device
C:\android\tools>adb remount
remount failed: No such file or directory
my phone is rooted and in debug usb mode..I dont understand how can I go ahead...
what can I do?
thanks
ivan

we need to find the solution...but it's not easy..
are u using the NEW M1 rom too?

Rooting doesn't automatically give you remount permissions AFAIK.

i just use this command
Code:
adb push test.txt /sdcard/test.txt
and the copy is ok....i found the file in the sgs sdcard...
The command adb remount is for the /system directory (for set write permission) .... i think it cant find the directory /system on the phone......why?!?!

Are you using the internal ext2 lagfix? I think that causes problems with the adb remount command. It doesn't work for me either.

Same results using a different ROM?

No lagfix installed at the moment..i installed lagfix when i was on M2 but i think that reflashing removed the lag fix...is it right?

adb remount as well
Trying to remap hard keys, adb remount along with push and pull do not work. Depending on whether im in shell or not I get no such file or directory or file not found errors. I can change into directory of each of the folders im trying to work with, and look at the file but I can't push it from my tools folder(locally) or pull it from the system folder. Every tutorial I see has adb remount command first, which fails every time.
Samsung Fascinate
Blackhole-build your own rom
(also tried on jt's latest rom, same issue

Crazy
I'm having the same issue here too. I'm trying to get a custom boot screen on my rooted Samsung Infuse and I've tried every way I can think of and it wont take. Clockworkmod says successfully installed, but its not. Soon as I reboot I see the At&T stock boot. I've fixed all of my permissions and still no luck.
So I saw a solution to do it via adb by typing "adb remount" and I get the same thing u guys are getting. I've got a headache now. Done all I could, even typing "shell", "su", that all goes well then when I tried to push it "adb push bootanimation.zip system/media" I get adb: not found. Smh, is it a device issue?

i think ive got the solution

Sorry ... just need a way to get access to this phone - trying adb.... also is there a windows file manager that would browse/edit the contents of this phone?
thanks in advance Kevin

PLEASE DIVERT ALL QUESTIONS TO Q&A FORUM NEXT TIME.
IF you're on Froyo.. for some reason froyo does not allow pushing to /system .. at least for me that's the case (someone correct me)
root your phone:
1. adb push /sdcard/jupiter.xml
2. adb shell
3. su
4. cp /sdcard/jupiter.xml /system/gps/jupiter.xml (or wherever you need to put it)
5. do the same for the rest of the files.. but tbh
THERE'S NO FIXING GPS YET

What he said.

If froyo didn't fix your gps then you are sol. But don't be so sure its still broke, it can take some time on the first lock. Once it gets a lock within 5-10 meters it should work decent afterwards with the occasional hiccup usually when its not used every day. But some are reporting poor performance still with froyo.
A factory reset can fix some bugs I have seen on jf7 and ji6 on my phone causing the gps to turn off. Jj4 doesn't seem to have that bug on my phone. Cog2.3b6 is jj4 based
Some claim to have performance degrade over time, I think that's all placebo but others have completely different experiences with gps than I do. I notice it having to occasionally need to get new gps data causing a delay in the initial lock but it seems more random than progressive and I never fail to get a lock.
If you are trying to use the jupiter.xml file in the gps solution thread from clshortfuse our what ever his name is, you will likely see an no improvement to a slight improvement. It gets faster locks on eclair roms but on froyo the jupiter file already resembles his and the major difference being that his forces the google server for gps data.

OK thanks for all the help so far -
I had a n82 phone, like 2-3 years ago, it was awesome.... google maps and all... blue dot was where the phone was... I could watch me walk around my house... it would show me getting the mail walking down the drive way to the mail box and back....
I have an iphone 3gs....works fine.... maybe not quite as good as the n82 did, but works ok, locks quick and will the blue dot with in a few feet of me IN MY HOUSE.
While I dont get this whole GPS problem on this phone I hear you about not trying to fix it.
I have some limited unix experience... used vi and other stuff, was able to move,copy, edit and replace files... change permissions and other standard stuff.
So if the cognition rom is rooted as is, and I was rooted before the rom, I assume I still am rooted....
Why wont the commands I tried work?
I did not try the other commands noted in this thread, yet, I will soon.
So is it my phone? or do I have the commands/syntax wrong?
If I am going to stick it out with the phone I need to figure out how to fix it.
thanks again for your help.
Kevin

Any ideas or reasons why this command would not work?
C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\My Documents\Downloads\android-sdk_r07-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push jupiter.xml /sdcard/jupiter.xml
failed to copy 'jupiter.xml' to '/sdcard/jupiter.xml': Permission denied
My file on my PC is in the folder I am working from ....\tools and I assume I should have permissions to the sdcard folder?
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks Kevin

Have you made sure to grant superuser permission on the phone?
I had that issue the first time I tried it and found that I hadn't granted superuser access.
Also to the OP, if you switch to Perception, DG includes the Jupiter fix in the ROM.

You can't push to /system in FROYO.
you have to push it to /sdcard first
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/jupiter.xml /<LOCATION>
and chmod it
and chown it.

thanks for the help... to make sure I have the right permissions I need to use the chmod and chown commands -
Do I need to mount the system first? Something like -
Code:
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/stl9 /system
# chmod 777 /system/etc/*
thanks again, Kevin

I would never do 777 on any file. Jupiter.xml should be 644 and user and group root.

Push Phone.apk

Can someone give me the adb command and/or terminal commands to push a custom Phone.apk?
Thanks

adb remount
adb push Phone.apk /system/app/

Been trying to do the same thing since yesterday.
This is what I get with the two commands posted above:
Code:
failed to copy 'Phone.apk' to '/system/app/Phone.apk': Directory not empty
EDIT:
Trying it again now and it seems to just hang there. It's been over 10 minutes and it doesn't seem to be doing anything (Process status: Sleeping).
All my attempts result in the phone freezing. I have to remove the battery in order to reboot it. Thankfully, I haven't managed to brick it yet, though I suspect I'm getting closer to achieving brickdom with every attempt.

do it via recovery?

Worked like a charm. It fails on "remount" while in recovery and I thought I was doing something wrong but apparently it's not required.
EDIT:
Well the copy worked:
Code:
1224 KB/s (835675 bytes in 0.666s)
but I'm not sure if it actually did anything. The new apk is supposed to change the call screen but it doesn't. Also, while in recovery mode if I
Code:
adb shell ls /system
there's only bin/ directory in there (i.e., no app/). Am I doing something wrong?
S_Dot: Sorry for hijacking the thread. At first it was just to clarify one little problem that I assumed you may have had as well but now it's sorta snowballing.
EDIT2:
OK, I found the "mount /system" option in the advanced menu. Thanks for the help and hope this helps someone.

Achilleas you are AWESOME!
I have been looking for ages how to do this since I always got problems. Finally it worked!
Thanks

can anybody shead some light on this problem. I downloaded file Phone.apk

[Q] Searching For Gps Problem. HELP!!

I have seen multiple threads on this subject for every other phone but none for the Nexus. Ever since i updated to CM 7.0.2 my gps hasnt worked properly. It locks in on my position and others in latitude very quickly, but if i try to use navigation it stays stuck on searching for gps. When i attempted to use the app gps status to check out the problem, it keeps loading and never finds any satellites. I posted in a g2 thread and the response i got back was this:
"You need to find out what partition on your phone the radio/gps cache is stored. Wipe it. That is the same type of idea of what we are doing here. Hopefully that helps get ya going in the right direction. I would also recommend trying to back it up first if you can. I'm also sure some dev with the know how could write a very easy script for you so that you can't mess it up. But it would obviously have to be someone familiar with the nexus setup. Good luck!"
can anybody help???

I just got the app "FasterFix" and it seems to do its work!

tried it...no luck any other ideas???

apparently gingerbread 2.3.3 has some issues with GPS. Actually it should have been fixed with 2.3.4. What version is CM 7.0.2?

Currently running a nightly which i believe is 2.3.4. Im going to try to wipe everything and go stock to see if that helps. Ill report back.

Any of the 7.0.x series will be based on Android 2.3.3. Supposedly, they will be coming out with 7.0.4 which will include the wonk fix (maybe even the 2-3sec delay fix).
Nightlies starting after an early 60's build have been based on 2.3.4. These will eventually turn into CM 7.1.

I found a Tutorial a few weeks ago, unfortunately I don't know where, but try this:
Download the GPS files which have been extracted from a froyo ROM:
http://www.share. cx/files/971910022477/GPSfiles.rar.html (remove the space)
Now extract the files to the folder where your ADB is located.
Now open your ADB command prompt and enter the following commands:
1. adb remount
2. adb push libgps.so /system/lib
3. adb push gps.bravoc.so /system/lib/hw
4. adb shell
5. cd /system/lib
6. su
7. chmod 777 libgps.so
8. exit
9. cd /system/lib/hw
10. su
11. chmod 777 gps.bravoc.so
12. exit
13. reboot
Hope I helped!
