How do I install a new framework-res.apk? [solved]

I have a framework-res.apk to give me battery % on the top bar, but im not sure how to install it... Can someone help please?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

use Astro File Manager and open it. you should be at /sdcard. then press "UP" and you should be at / now.
all in all. navigate to /system/framework and replace the framwork-res.apk file.
do backup your original apk file incase things don't work out.

Right I tried that, with Astro I can't copy files to root directories (above /sdcard/) I tried EStrongs file manager and it says it can't be copied... Is there any reason it won't work?
Or is there another way of doing this?
Thanks.

hmm weird. it worked for me, judging from your signature you're rooted so... i have no idea. paid solutions like root explorer and all, or adb. isn't the battery modification done via an update.zip now? it's easier and way automated.

Yeah it's rooted and it had worked before but when this method didn't work again I thought I was doing it wrong.
I'll have a look for the thread again when I'm home and see what it says and if there's an update.zip.
Thanks for the help

definitely an update.zip method now. i've applied it yesterday lol no problem.
here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765419

Damn you're good, thats the exact thread
Well I'm glad it's done by update.zip haha.

You can start by telling us which lagfix you have.

Lets say voodoo, i wanted to flash a rom that has it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Disable lagfix
1. Mount phone on computer (connect it so that you see its two card, one internal, one external if you have one).
2. Navigate to the Voodo folder on the internal SDCARD (there should be only one of the two cards that has this folder)
3. Create a file (or folder) named "disable-lagfix", no extensions. (right click -> new-> new file or folder)
4. Unmount your cards from the computer.
5. Shut phone OFF.
6. Turn back on.
As found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784170
Explain to me why I found something in 1 minute that you couldn't find all day?

I would add this... give the phone and os time to do it's business. Converting data too/from ext4 takes a few min. Have heard a lot of folks soft bricking by not allowing time for the data conversion process, thinking their phone was locked up and pulling the battery. It's not. Wait it out.

I guess you know ur way around the forum lol well thanx anyway i will write it down somewhere

WOW, that's just amazing. I like the new design.

Why is it working for everyone :/ except me!

If you have root try to overwrite the app by pushing it into system/app. Maybe it will work.

I have my phone rooted, and I tried what you say with astro/es/root explorer
but I just can't copy anything in /system/app/ because it's read-only.
Any ideas ?

yes, I do. Mount R/W in the root explorer (upper right corner). By default read only is set.

I clicked it but nothing happened~

hmmm, strange. Anyway. I just overwrote it by a normal install of the .apk. Nothin to push. And it works great.

WTF is going on :/
I navigate to /system with root explorer tap on mount R/W and nothing happens

You have to paste it after you pressed R/W..
Pressing the R/W button only means you can now put something in that folder..

Been using it since the morning, works great so far.. not too sure about the looks though. Too grey and too much like WP7

Man I'm not an idiot, I know that "Mount R/W" only changes the permissions and I also have to paste the file.
The thing is that when I click it nothing happens.
I'm using Root Explorer 2.9.3

Have you tried deleting the old market paste the new then restart you phone
I just click on it installed and everything was fine, dunno what has happened there,
or you could open up the zip of the rom you are using remove the vending and replace it with the new one and reflash it to your your phone, without wiping and that might work
or try ADB

All I did was install it over the original some people said its got Chinese work.g on it but mine seems fine

Open 'unthrottle' folder and create a new folder called 'backup'
Open 'jarfiles' folder > 'bionic' > '(R3)Blurr3d' and rename this folder to 'Unl3ashed'
Open the newly renamed 'Unl3ash3d' folder and rename 'v1.5' to 'v1.2x'
Then run script in Script Manager
Navigate to the 'unthrottle' folder and select menu.sh

wierd, tried that and no dice..keep say can't find file

FYI, there's an error in your steps under Powerboost. The folder should be renamed to "UNL3ASH3D" (no quotes), not "Unl3ashed".

Nope, has to be "UNL3ASH3D" (note the second 3).

Yes sir. I just had one text come through where it vibrated, so it's sporadic.
It might not even be this ROM.

In the meantime, i am using contact vibrate... it is kinda neat. You can create custom patterns and change per contact and scenario.
That at least until we take a look at v1.6 and hope it resolves your issue.

Fyi to all bionic users... Verizon is offering 50% off extended batteries today. If you don't have one, 25 bucks is a good price to pay! Just bought an extra one. >=)

Just as a basic test... have you tried the stock app or another messaging app? It might help us determine either what is causing it, or if there is a conflict. Please post your results.

Im using handcent and recived a picture in a message just fine v1.5 you should check your settings perhaps you missed one
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

I installed a different texting app and still no pics.

Well after many wipes/formats and every thing else I finally have everything working.
I can verify that multiple cache wipes, dalvik wipes and system formats do the job.
I'm not sure exactly how many I done but it was a lot.
I just sit there and wiped, formatted, wipe, format, wipe, format so on and so on and it finally took, I even installed 3 times over and over each other.
The ROM works great.
All the phones might have the same parts and look the same, but for some reason they don't act the same.

Any way to get battery and data manager back?
Sent from my BIONIC

I did a wipe,format and all that numerous times too hoping that may be the cause for the pix message problem, but no. Still an issue.

I'm back to 10% battery increments after moving the unthrottle folder.
I know this has been reported, but I'm just throwing my hat into the mix.

Lost my Wireless hotspot with 2.3.5 on i9000

Hi Guys,
I flashed 2.3.5 XXJVT and now when I try to acivate the wireless hotspot I get error message.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

Me to! :-(
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

No one knows how to fix this? Should I move to another firmware?

This can be resolved with a third party piece of software. I had this issue too until last night. Install Barnacle Wifi Tether off the Market.
Works a treat and will even work for those providers who block Tethering on their Data packages

You go through following steps.
1. Download*Es File Explorer,
*Install and Run it.
2. Mount File System. you need the folder to be writable
3. Copy**enable_netfilter**from***/res/scripts**folder
4. Paste it into**/system/etc/init.d*
5.* Make the file**Executable**by changing its properties*
6.You might need to disable back File System folder (security reason). Check step 2
7. Reboot.
DONE. Now you are tethering enable ..*Good Luck!**

No problems here. I am using Talon kernel though (maybe it is a kernel issue?).
