Ok... I'll bite. Ringdroid from the market. Any other answer will take some info.

As in, the ringroid will put the ringtones in the sd card memory not the phone memory, i tried copy paste over but fail.

To place them into the phone memory you will need to either copy them using the terminal or push them through adb.
using adb, place the file(s) in your tools folder
Code:
adb push filename.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones
In the terminal, if you place them in the root of your sdcard
Code:
cp /sdcard/filename.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones
I am not sure if you need to remount or not to push/copy into the folder or not.

It says read-only file system as the error.

Try:
Code:
adb remount
That should fix the "read only" problem.

i'm not using adb... I'm using the second method which is in the terminal.

Do yourself a favor and go get Root Explorer from the market. It lets you move any file to anywhere.
Move your files to /system/media/audio/ringtones and remember to check to see if the files that are there are .ogg or .mp3. If they are .ogg just rename your files after you move them.

What you mean I have to rename the files after i move them?

What's the exact application name? I tried searching on market but could not find any.

I like SUFBS but ES (or estrong) file explorer is good also. SUFBS cost a buck or 2 but I think it is worth it. Either way your phone needs to be rooted for this. You do have root right?

Yeah, phone is rooted. I tried ES Strong Explorer but cannot work, it says something about permission or something like that..

I'm not sure if it's a "hero thing" but sometimes the file extensions in the ringtones folder are not .mp3. They are .ogg. If you look into the folder and see .ogg files just change the extension and you'll be all good.
As for the apps. Look for "Root Explorer". I believe there are both free and paid options. The paid one isn't very much $$ so, considering how much easier it makes things, give up the loot and support a dev.

I tried searching under market, but cant find it..

id use terminal with cmds, would be a tad faster and a bit more reliable, in my opinion, but as of searching on your behalf i have found root explorer a paid version and estrongs free version by searching "root" while in the market. estrongs sounds unstable. If your going to pay for a good file explorer get SU file manager&terminal. (and...SAA?ror)

How do I use terminals? I tried but that say permission thingy..

Did you mount the system?

OK dude. If you're rooted I assume you have somebody's recovery. Boot to recovery and go into console (Alt+x). Now do this.
<enter>
mount /system <enter> (maybe mount /system/media if just /system doesn't work)
mount /sdcard <enter>
cp /sdcard/yourfolder/yourringtone.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones <enter>
reboot
You should be good to go.

Can I do that in terminal? As in one of the application in my HTC Dream?

[Q] Default Text conversations screen

Is there a way to get the default samsung style text messaging conversations back to the speech bubbles. I am currently using di11is5.1 ROM. I like the look and feel of this ROM but I really liked the way the OEM text conversations looked.

You just need to change the mms.apk to whichever you prefer. It is located in /system/app and you will need a file manager such as root explorer or use ADB commands to place it there.
I am not sure what ROM's use which messaging app as I use handcent but you can surely get the stock one from the jh7 ota zip thread. Just download that and pull it from the zip.

I hate to be such a noob but how do I replace the file I have tried but I get an error that the file already exists. I have tried to remove the file but I get a message about read only file.

What method are you using?

Iwas trying to use Terminal emulator to copy the file from the internal SD card to the /system/app folder. I have tried to "mv /system/app/Kmart.API /sdcard/" I get the message about file is write only.

The easiest way for me is to use root explorer. Pay for it in the market, it’s the best money you will spend for managing your phone. Download the new apk to the sd card on your phone. Use root explorer, go to /system/app, and mount as r/w. Long press the existing apk > rename it (add .bak at the end) > copy the new apk to the /system/app > click on the new file and install.

can someone please post this apk?

ill put it up when i get on my computer at home

Is using ADB the only way to get Ad-hoc working?

I have the original Droid phone. Thus, to tether it to my CN I need to get the CN able to work with Ad-Hoc. I had come to the conclusion the only way to accomplish this was via the ADB shell. The problem is I cannot get ADB to work.
So, that being said, and before I bury another 4 or 5 hours into this, is there another way to get my CN working with my Droid?

Yes, you can do it on your nook using certain apps. I've done it with Root Explorer(paid app), which allows you to alter/replace/change permissions on any system file. Other file manager type programs might be able do this too, maybe even some free ones, but the only one I can verify is root explorer.

Do you mind posting instructions, or a link to how you did it? I have this exact same situation as the OP (Droid 1/NC).

"Easy Tether" for rooted Droid phones works perfectly for me. It's a Market download and free -- creates an infrastructure network the CN can see and use rooted or unrooted. Rooting your phone (if not already) is pretty quick and easy as compared to rooting the Nook. I have a Droid X.

I have both easy tether and root explorer. Easy tether will not work as it requires a cable connection.
Can you explain what i need to do with root explorer?

Place the patched wpa_supplicant file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868354 somewhere on your sdcard.
Open Root Explorer and navigate to the file on the sdcard.
Copy the file.
Navigate to system/bin
Mount R/W
Rename your original wpa_supplicant file to wpa_supplicant.bak
Paste the new file. (make sure the name is as the original)
Reboot your nook.

Thank you so much!!! Worked great!

Hmmm, won't start wifi at all now. When I pasted the new file should the name be wpa_supplicant or wpa_supplicant.adhocfix? I used the former.

Clarify this step for me. Im confused at reading this.
You say to copy then rename original file, then paste. By original file do you mean the one on the sdcard and not the one being pasted?
Could i just pasti into system/bin , and then rename that file? Im just trying to clear this up?

Yes. You could just paste then rename the wpa_supplicant.adhocfix to wpa_supplicant. I wanted you to renam the original file in your system/bin to wpa_supplicant.bak so you woul have a backup of the original just in case something goes wrong.

went home and did this. THANKS!!!! Saw my IP4 MYWI network right away.

It works!! Thanks!

Under 1.1 I found that the ADHOC supplicant was so infuriatingly unstable it was almost unusable, and the lack of reconnect on wakeup was such a pain. this has been the major benefit of moving to Froyo for me - adhoc is seamless.

Hi Im almost done with it but I'm not sure how to rename the file. I'm using root explorer for some reason ADB is not pushing the file. I'm running 1.1 on my nc. I'm in root explorer and I got all the way to copy the file mount r/w and then i'm stuck.
Please help. I'm so close.

Hey bono quick ? when you use froyo is it on the sd card or is on the nook itself. I'm not sure how to get that far. I'm mad because I can't get these files right so that I can connect to my wireless tether through my phone. I'm so close. I finally got ADB to work but I can't push the files to the nook. I'm so lost right now.

How do I install an APK file from my SD card?

Hi.
I have been emailed an APK file for an App and need to install it.
I have transferred to the root directory of the phones SD card, but am stuck from there.
Any ideas?

have you tried just going into your files and selecting it. Usually it will prompt you to install the .apk and thats about it. You might need to allow non market apps, but it again should prompt you to do all this. There is probably another way, but i've never had to do any other extra steps.

Download Easy Installer from the market. It is free and will install from internal or external memory.

Thanks. Mucy appreciated

I usually have defaulted to easy installer but have had an eye opener with system apps because they are not that easy. I guess sys apps you need to push with adb or need a root file explorer co copy and paste the app within a specific directory file

No offense to you.. but i am honestly getting sick of this question being asked over and over and over again. YOU HAVE TO READ PREVIOUS FORUMS OR AT LEAST SEARCH BEFORE POSTING A NEW ONE! But heres your answer..
1) Obtain the Deodexed install from RootzWiki. (Or if you have a back-up, that will work too!)
2) Extract the zip file (I downloaded mine to the PC and unzipped it there).
3) Open the extracted folder, then navigate to /system/app.
4) Locate the BlurEmail.apk file (not to be confused with blur_email.apk) and copy it.
5) Paste the file to the SD card or internal storage.
6) Using a file explorer (such as Root Explorer),copy the file from where you put it and paste to the /system/app directory (you may need to mount as RW first).
7) Set the permissions to rw-r--r-- by long-pressing and selecting "Permissions" (this is if you use Root Explorer, other programs may vary). Make sure owner has Read and Write, while Group and Others have Read only.
8) Reboot phone, and enjoy!
***NOTE THIS IS NOT MY FIND. I WAS HELPED WITH SAME ISSUE. I AM NOT COPYING ANYONES HARD WORK***
thats your answer. When it says locate deodex locate the stock deodex not the deodex debloated version. Follow steps. It works. I did it. And im running sd3.
