How to push files into system/data without a pc

hey guys ive been trying to get a apk into system/data/app on my N1 but i cant get it right. so i did some research and saw that i needed to push the files into system/data. I dont have a pc to do it on so how can i do it on my phone with the terminal app? My phone is rooted so it should be a quick and easy deal....Right?

If you have busybox you can:
busybox cp nameoffile.apk /system/app/

Okay but where do i put said file so i can push it? Do i copy it into system/data/app and then push it or what?

Just download it to the SD card.

Use Root Explorer, and just copy the file there. Of course, toggle the /system to be in R/W before you copy (an option in Root Explorer).

if busybox is installed you dont need the "busybox cp"
you can do this
put whatever.apk in sdcard(or download it) then do
go to terminal
cd /sdcard
or
cd /sdcard/download (this only if you downloaded the apk from phone)
then do
ls(to check if file is there)
then do
cp /sdcard/download /system/data
most likely your gonna get a error bout read-only so you might want to do this before doing cp
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
then try again

Root Explorer

I agree, this is probably the easiest way.

[Tutorial]How to install apps as system apps

I've finally discovered how to install apps as system apps.
1. Download Android SDK and extract it to C:\
2. Set your cmd destination to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools {Click here for a video tutorial}
3. Put the app that you want to install in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
4. Connect your phone
5. Turn on USB debugging
6. Open cmd.exe and type in order:
adb remount
adb push yourapp.apk /system/app
7. You are done!

thanks for the tip...

I tried to just paste in system app but that didnt work
thanks for writing this it will help a lot of people

actually, it works, but you need to give permission to those apps. you can do it via recovery or root explorer. I did it with root explorer and it seems to work...

Yeah i know but technicaly adb is correct way to do it
permissions: rw-r--r--

Need help making flash zip

can anyone guide me on making a flash zip..? i managed to edit my lockscreen by editing the framework,put it back into the ROM and flash the ROM. but i reallt think it would be a lot easier if i can just make a flash zip so i can change my lockscreen without flashing the whole ROM.

I think it's hard to make a flash zip with noobs (like me ) because of making a update-script file. But there is a easier way to change your framework, just use Root Explorer to see permission of framework-res.apk (644 for this), then boot to recovery, mount /system and /sdcard, and use adb shell to
backup framework:
Code:
mv /system/framework/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk.bak
then copy framework from your sdcard:
Code:
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Finally, set permission:
Code:
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
I always do that to change a system apk

Does anyone know what modules i need to delete if i want to flash kernel?

[Q] Permanently Change Folder Permission

I am trying to change the folder permission of the "data/gps" folder to "rwx rwx rwx", by default, it's set to "rwx --- ---".
I can do this by using ES File Explorer but the folder permission gets reverted to the default upon reboot. So I'm guessing ES File Explorer can't change it permanently.
My question is, is there any method that I can use to change it permanently? I have Terminal Emulator installed, but I've never used it before so I don't want to go around messing with it just yet (unless if I can get a confirmation that it'll do what I need it to do).
I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

Update:
I tried it with Terminal Emulator, "chmod 777 /data/gps". No luck, the permissions still reverted to default upon reboot.
I was informed that all scripts placed within "/etc/init.d" folder are executed on boot. So I created a shell script file and placed it in that folder.
#Change folder permission
chmod 777 /data/gps
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unfortunately, that didn't work either. I don't know if the script above is incorrect or incomplete. One thing I can't figure out though, are all the scripts in the folder executed with superuser privilege? Correct me if I'm wrong but in order to change the permission for "/data/gps" folder, superuser privilege is required. I have tried the following scripts, nothing works.
#Change folder permission
su chmod 777 /data/gps
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
#Change folder permission
sudo chmod 777 /data/gps
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
#Change folder permission
sudo su chmod 777 /data/gps
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Anyone with ideas?
UPDATE: I have got this fixed! Turns out that there was nothing wrong with the script. Placing the script in the init.d folder does the trick, it's just that I couldn't get it to work with CM9, it works perfectly on OneCosmic ROM. Maybe CM9 doesn't support init.d?

I've broken my bootanimation :(

Hi guys, I tried to change the bootanimation on my fire tablet (2015), it wasn't located in the media folder but I did find a bootanimation file in system/bin, I backed this up first incase I needed to replace it. On replacing said backup I still don't get the default boot animation, just a blank screen until the lock screen shows up, I've even tried copying the file from another tablet. I'm sure its something to do with permissions but I'm not sure, hoping someone more knowledgeable than me can help.
Thanks

Restore the file to /system/bin and chmod 755

Sorry for being a dumbass, what's chmod 755 ?

Restore she file bootanimation to /system/bin/ folder. If you do it with a root file explorer change the permissions to 755. That's rwx-rx-rx.
If you do it using a shell with terminal for android or by adb, type:
1. su (grant SuperSU permissions in the tablet when it asks for it).
2. mount -o remount,rw /system
3. chmod 0755 /system/bin/bootanimation
4. Reboot

I'm using a root file explorer, permissions set as you say but it still isn't working, what should I set Owner and Group to ?
