[Q] accidently deleated a htc sence file

I accidently deleated com.htc.android.world clock. Any way to get it back without a factory reset?

1) Questions do not go in this forum, they go in the "Q&A" forums
2)Download any sense ROM and just pull the /system/app/WorldClock.apk from the zip file and push it to your /system/app on the phone.

i downloaded the world clock apk, tried installing it using astro but wont install. how do i push the apk and odex files on the phone?

Agreed..plus you even took the time to check the box saying it was a question?????? then you could have taken the time to see the STICKY THREAD saying post questions in the right section.
second off if you dont know what your deleting before you delete it then you shouldnt be deleting stuff from your phone. Do some research before you start deleting items. PLUS do some research about pushing an item. quit being lazy.
Go to the market and get an app called system app remover(it works wonders)!

you probably need to put it in system/app and reboot not just install it

That's the Way I'm Always Able to Fix my Eff ups! But to Tell you the Truth... I Believe Whenever it Did Work Successfully for me, The System Apps were De-Odexed! But give it a Try, Might Still Work??
Good Luck!

I see your was asked in your last thread about battery, you should not post questions in development section. It took 1 minute using the search function in this forum to find your answer to where that file is.
Hopefully this information will make you stop posting these questions in this section, Using Root Explorer or a comparable program navigate to (Mount R/W first): data>system> you will find and be able to delete file batterystats.bin or you can use Rom Manager and boot into clockwork recovery mod go to advanced and there is an option to wipe battery stats. Then you will need to cycle your battery a couple time to get it to show correctly.

Yeah but you know none of these options have worked and neither of the have shown it. I am know thinking that it is a problem with the way I flashed it or a problem with my phones Tom so that's why I posted it in the android development section. You know people like you make us wonder why people aren't nice any more

And people like you make us wonder why there isn't a test to get posting rights on the forum. This does not belong in Development.

Astro will not work, you need root access. Download root explorer and go to the root directory. Data-> System -> Batterybins.bin
just delete it from there.
For future notice, a Google search can avoid all this. Thats what i did when I had this same exact problem.

A google search brought me to this thread (first link). Thought that was kind of funny.

And how is this relevant to the thread?

[Q] can someone upload an image of froyo with market......

I have a working froyo nook but I am having trouble installing market, gmail, flash, remaping volume buttons ect..... Could someone upload a froyo image with all of the above please. Is this possible?? FYI I rooted my nookcolor with autonooter. I will donate money to the froyo cause tomorrow via paypal thanks.

Please post in correct sections of the forum.

Sorry what is the correct section I thought Nook Color Android Development was correct since froyo is an android development for nook color thanks. Can you move this post to the correct section?

Did you read/follow this guide?
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Nookie_Froyo_Tips

I read it yesterday and today it is all foreign to me lol. I'm guessing I need other programs on my computer to install that way. I'm a noobie and I'm really surprised I was able to root.

If you're having trouble with adb, this thread might be helpful to get you started using it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010

There are some issues with the sd creation with some software in which the nook will boot, but the folder structure is not adb friendly, names appear to be gibberish when you run adb shell, ls...
Just fyi.

You need to dumb down the terminal... It's trying to display colors.
Try...
ls --color=never (I used this one)
\ls (This also turned up in a search)

Still no luck
I have adb installed and I can get to shell but i cant get it to install apps. I have downloaded the apks but when I try to install them I am lost. I was hoping someone could upload an image of froyo with all the needed apps if this is possible. I am leaving town in the morning and I will not be able to bring my computer with me. So I was hoping to get this before I go to bed so I have something for my trip out of town. I really want the market and but really all the wanted apps. Thanks in advance.

[Q] Creating a back door

Some of the recent posts have suggested that we may soon see a patch for the root exploit we currently have.
Being that we have root now is there some place we could hide SU where we could access it later should root be closed on us, allowing re-rooting of the device? It would have to be some place that does not get overwritten when an update is pushed...and I am not sure if that even exists on Android.

Not easily, since system is one of two partitions that doesn't have nosuid or noexec set.

Dunno about that, but I've been told there are a couple root methods being saved for later....

So I guess I am correct in assuming that the entire /system gets overwritten during an update?
I just played a bit with /root but cannot get anything to run with the current permissions of the mount.
For my understanding am I correct in the belief that all system directories get overwritten "/sys/ /system/"?

It doesn't get overwritten, but the update does reset all permissions. Thus, the su executable will still be there after the update, but will be chmodded 0755.

Just brainstorming so feel free to tell me I'm wrong
What about replacing a suid binary. Ping is the one I am thinking of right now. Would the update replace that file?

Looking at the permissions set in the update's script, it doesn't look feasible. If I'm reading them right, PING's permissions only allow it access to the NET_RAW group, which doesn't give us anything useful. Everything else is just as unhelpful.
Anyone know if it would be possible to fastboot flash an older recovery to a device with a newer bootloader, then temproot that and use it to permroot the device?

No, no... I only use pre-existing back doors. ^_^

I would rather have bugs than no root. I sat on my droid3 until root was available rather than activating it.
Would it be possible in that case to run FOTAkill on a rooted d3? If so, would it help?
I noticed a couple of OTA/update related apks while noodling with Titanium.... could those be frozen to prevent updates?

There are only one or two lines in build.prop that need to be changed to prevent receiving OTAs or update notifications. Search on the DroidX forums and you'll find these values.

Editing the build.prop is not the best way to prevent OTA updates.
It will cause issues with Market and other functions that read those strings for various reasons.
Disabling by freezing or renaming BlurUpdater_VZW.apk and FOTA.apk is safer and will not affect anything else adversely.

Thanks. I'll give that a go.

There is always something being worked on to retain/get root again after a patch. There is also a good reason it doesn't get talked about in any kind of detail.

Installing custom kernel on temp root? (AT&T Vivid)

I'm considering buying a HTC Vivid from AT&T, from what I've read, the bootloader for the AT&T Vivid is locked, but it is possible to temporarily unlock it. I also plan to overclock my phone, I've found custom kernels that can overclock the vivid, they say that the phone needs to be rooted. But is a temp root going to give me enough access to install the overclocking kernel? I have jailbroken consoles and HP Touchpad, but I haven't really played with Android or Linux. So if please excuse me if my terminology is used incorrectly. Thanks.

You can unlock the bootloader through HTC'S dev site and get perm root. Just follow the superguide in the development section and you will be good to go.

Thanks for the info. I'm new to this, after I rooted the phone, how do I install the app? I have an apk file and I tried using the Android Central SWM, but it doesn't work with my phone. I have also enabled the Applications from Unknown sources. But there's no way for me to install.
Edit: I saw that it installed an app called Superuser, but I can't install any apps through Superuser, do I need to put the apk file in a specific folder in order for Superuser to recognize it? Thanks.

you have some reading to do......

That was helpful. I was just looking for a way to install apps to my phone. So far it seems like maybe I can modify the .bat script from the temp root method to install .apk files that way, but that seems risky and I don't want to mess up my brand new phone.
Seems like this is the wrong site to ask, this is a developer site, so I guess I'll ask this somewhere else.

no, you just need to use some logic, and this little thing called SEARCHING
you want to install apps on your phone?
you just put them on your sdcard or download them from the phone itself, open a file manager, browse to the apk file and click on it. it will ask to install..... you are making this out to be way harder than it is. and you did not need root for that to take place. its a function of the OS, you dont need the computer in order to install apps.....this is all basic android stuff you could learn by using GOOGLE....
and you are right, this is a developers site, it is not a hold-my-hand site for noobs.....

No need to ask anywhere, google is your friend. Installing apps is very easy, and rooting isn't even necessary. As PG already said, it's as easy as using a file explorer, and also checking that box in the settings about unknown sources.
http://maketecheasier.com/install-applications-without-the-market/2011/01/28

Thanks for the link, those methods are definitely easier than what I did. I edited the temp root .bat file to copy the .apk file to the phone's internal memory, then I used Astro brower to browse to that directory, then install it from there.

dude, all you have to do is plug in your phone and when it asks you set it to disk mode...it shows up as another drive on your computer...you dont need to use any kind of bat file....this is all seriously generic and basic android usage. as i stated before:
you have some reading to do......
its not to be mean, but seriously, you are asking stuff like this in the same breath as ROOTING your phone. this type of stuff isnt meant to be taken lightly or without some READING and comprehension. know what you are doing to your phone before you royally screw it up....
at this rate, i have a feeling it wont be long before we see a help thread....

I don't understand either. Why not do it the apk way? That is the easiest method. It takes like twenty second to allow unknown sources, go to file manager, click on the apk and install it.
