note: this is only for root only.. nothing more nothing less

I did. I googled around and tried to change folder permissions, remount system, data and all that, put none of it works. all shell su commands are denied.
can anyone confirm this, or is it really just me?

Yeah, same for me. The interesting thing is that I was able to delete some system apks step by step, so somehow I had rw at /system but that was only for like 2 mins, then it stopped working. After some reboots, trying to unroot and root again it worked again for some time...too crazy...in the end I messed it up and had to flash the stock sbf, because the market didnt work anymore. Dunno what happened there, but was my first try at rooting anyway
Furthermore shell and /system were denied, remounting to rw didn't work either!

Same problem here!
I don't know what the problem is...
I tried to reinstall adfree, but that doesn't help.
Any ideas?

You guys could always manually download the hosts file; either by looking it up here on XDA or you might be able to get it using the adfree app (dunno about this because i personally don't use the app)
Regardless of how you get the hosts file, once you have it just replace your older one using estrongs, adb, terminal, root explorer, w/e you want.
located at /system/etc/hosts

Restore your nandroid...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Hi danger rat. Im alittle new at this. How do I do that. And if I do what else will I lose?
Is there an original keyboard apk that I can just install?
Very much appreciated

If you don't know how to restore a backup, you probably didn't make one...
The keyboard has more than just the apk to it, so it's a bit more complicated than just switching the old apk back...
Ask in the keyboard thread, because I'm sure you're not the only one.

reflash the rom that you are using. and, since you are kinda new to this, ALWAYS make a nandroid backup in recovery. one da it WILL save your ass

...or you can do that, too. xD
Might wanna back up your apps and settings first, with Titanium backup.

Or save time and flashing just adb push old latinime and the lib.so back in and reboot.

Hi ilostchild. How do I go about doing that. Thanks everyone!

If you got android sdk installed you can do it . But if you don't its best to titanium back up everything you need and reflash your current rom

You can also do it with Root Explorer, or Terminal Emulator...

I was gonna say terminal but then I thought if he did it would probably fc soon as he did. Root explore would probably be the easiest way to go

I do have terminal and also sdk.
How would I go about it in terminal and or sdk? Thanks a bunch

Get a copy of your existing ROM.
Extract the following files:
LatinIME.apk
libjni_latinime.so
The apk goes in /system/app
The lib.so goes in /system/lib
You'll have to remove (rm) the existing files...
It will be far easier for you to do in Root Explorer.
Reboot when done.

Ok Sdk way
Adb shell
Su
#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtd3block /system
#exit
Adb push latinime.apk /system/app
Then
Adb push lib.so /system/lib
Adb shell
Su
#reboot
And there you go got stock back..works both ways too if want to push gb kb
but to do this make sure Adb is in environment variable
If not gonna have to put all files in sdk folder where Adb is at

Not really have too when you push it overwrite existing but if yourself cautious then yea remove first then push. Root explore would be faster and easier

Stupid question....
Surely re flashing CM6.1 would restore to stock so to speak?
(I took a nandroid so no worries if it would not )

Can't it be as easy as someone giving me a .zip of the stock nexus kb and installing it from recovery?

[Q] When someone says /etc/....

I'm familiar with the linux filesystem, but what i'm not sure is how to access or view this file system. Say I wanted to place a file in /etc/system, what program can i use to do that? When connected to my PC via USB, all I get is the SD card with download..data...titanium backup..gps...etc
Cheers

First you need to root your phone. As the term implies it gives you root access.
Then use an app like root explorer to get into root directories, mount them as rw, then do as you will.

Hello,
for me sounds like you need root access to your system to see this folders and a file explorer with root too like root explorer....but is not for free. I already didn´t found a free option.
Is only a idea...I didn´t try self
Edit: I was too slow :-D

My phone is rooted with Darky's 9.5. I would know how to do this in linux, mounting...chmod for permissions, something like that...are you saying an app like root explorer lets me access /etc, /mnt, and so on? Are there free alternatives?

If you want you can try this both....but the feedback is very mixed..some like some hate

Super Manager
If you try please gimme a feedback

[Q] Remove Android Market App - Yes, seriously!

OK, sounds like the most stupid question ever, but is there a way to remove the google android market from the vegan 5.1 build? I've tried the obvious (i.e uninstall through app manager) but it's greyed out.
I know most people are desperate to get the market app on and working, but I need it removed
Any ideas...? Thanks

Can't see why but...
From pc
adb remount
adb rm /system/app/Vending.apk
adb reboot
Or in shell
#su
#cd /system/data
#rm Vending.apk
#reboot

hey
i am maybe the bigest noob in developing in android. but where do i put those commands on my pc?

Easiest way to do it is to download a root browser from the market or sideload it. Open root browser. Go ti root. System. Data. Apps. Delete vending.apk.

Yes, you will need to be rooted to remove System apps.
