Ok, extracted files out of factoryfs, created the system folder, built everything around that. Zipped up, signed it. Trying to flash, get a Error creating symlink
cant symlink /system/bin/cat
Failure at line 6:
symlink toolbox SYSTEM:bin/cat
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anything that is being symlinked needs to be removed from the /system/bin folder.
Yep I pulled it all out pre zip.

So there is no file named "cat" inside /system/bin?
Correct

You mean so they're not hidden? If so yeah, I actually went through Update-Script and removed anything that was being symlinked from system/bin.

yeah. the only reason i can see why you would get that error is because of symlinked files
I read somewhere I could be so to my version of java. I "think" I have the right version but can someone link it for me just in case.

Ok so I am trying to get friend stream to work in the new fresh rom. I got the apk from damages rom along with the widget. In cmd I successfully push the apps /system/app/ after typing in adb remount. However after I reboot the app is not there. How do I get this to work? Also was wondering how to port a system app from a darchlegend rom to work on any other rom. Any advice is welcome.

Wont work, period. It needs an .odex for both the widget and the normal .apk for it to work in the latest release.

Ok I can pull the odex file but where does that go? Or is that something created when the apk is compiled if so any good tuts for editing and recompiling?

I was kind of hoping TitaniumBackup would give me this one...
I can't find the odex...
But I read from the other Hero forum that Friendstream may require an update package.
Preferably Odex format
Thanks
you should be able to extract them from one of the RUU's already posted. I'd send you mine off my pone but I can't (read: don't have the time to **** around with it) from work.

I wouldn't even know which file to extract that apk. Do you have any idea off the top of your head?

Couldn't go any longer knowing I'm w/o something I wanted, so I just reflashed the whole zip file lol.
Thanks anyway!
Closing thread upon OP's request.
Currently I am using firefly 2.9 and I have been trying to remove stats.wordpress from the blocked list so that I can receive stats on my wordpress site. I modified the file and copied it to the system/ect folder but it won't replace the old file.
I've tried deleting the old version and copying the new modified version in its place, but the old file keeps coming back! I've tried to match the permissions of the new file to the original but the settings don't stick.
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!

Try doing it through adb:
copy the hosts file to your sd card, do whatever modifications you want on it, then do:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
cp /sdcard/hosts /system/etc
sync
reboot
or optionally, you can push it through clockwork as an update.zip
Clockwork sounds like the way I'd like to go... Do I just zip the file and call it update.zip? Or is there more to it than that? (i would assume)
I would do the adb method, but I have had bad luck with that in the past.
Thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
There's more to it than that; it has to have a specific structure and an update script. Here's a guide:
http://www.robmcghee.com/android/creating-an-android-update-zip-package/
You don't need to sign it, so you can skip that step.
Okay thanks! I'll try to mess with it tomorrow.
Thanks again!

What does the zip file do?
Flashable zip?
*edit* nevermind I just peeked inside the zip.
For post above me, you flash through clockwork, and it flashes the calibration tool needed.
And btw its no included at all in gb, hence the need for this to be flashed
Sent from my SPH-D700
ran the calibration tool and it made no difference
No difference here either. Doesn't really bother me much tho.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Guess they thought gingerbreads version would work? So no difference huh?
Well thanks for getting this still Marcusant.
Just a thought, but wouldn't you need the other files that go with it? If i knew how to compile one of these zips, i would edit it and see if it worked >.>

I would think you could just download a rom open it up with winrar and copy it out and post it with credits and permission of coarse, just to be safe
Well the reason i mentioned the 3 files, is that sensorcalibutil_yamaha was the only file that's flashed in this fix. Hence why it might not work? Again, i know nothing of fixes and development on Android, but from a programming perspective, i would say they're dependent files...
Who knows... If anyone feels like taking the time to re-create this fix with the files listed, it just may work. =\

Drag them into the zip and post it. Trust me, Marcusant probably doesn't mind the whole permission thing.

Took this apk and necessary files out of the tmobile update 5.1.1.
(Root Browser)
Place files :system/priv-apps
Set correct permissions and rename the one already in that directory
This works on At&t Galaxy s6 not tested on other variants
*Confirmed working on SPRINT*
Pictures located on POST#19
Not responsible if you prick your phone or anything.
*Must be rooted*
*Must be on a custom rom
*If I helped in any way a simple click on the THANKS button is sufficient*

Yea I got it figured out, thanks for posting it!
"Set correct permissions and rename the one already in that directory "
I have a folder named " SmartManager_PROVIDER " in the system/priv-app folder
Is that the one I rename to disable it?
Then unzip and paste the folder and contents attached to this thread in the system/priv-app folder ?
And what are the correct permissions?
I'm rooted AT&T OE2 using root explorer.

Yes just rename the file you don't necessarily have to freeze as it does nothing its already disabled by at&t.
Yes everything goes in the system/priv-apps folder...
Set permissions to folders as below... the apk and other files in the arm folder are the same permissions.
Reset...
