Delete system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
Delete ADW stuff in dalvik-cache, or complete wipe your dalvik-cache
Push the new ADWLauncher.apk to system/app
reboot
if i wiped dalvik-cache will it affect other apps ???
and by "push"
do you mean just copy the apk and paste it in system/app ??
didnt work !!!
isnt there anyway around it by using terminal or something ?
I've done this before by just installing the newer version from the market (it actually has a different name for the installed apk), set as default, then uninstall the old version with Titanium...

Mount RW. Overwrite the file. Then select and install it. Exit and reboot. I do it all the time.

This. You'll have two versions of ADW installed at first, but just remove the old one using TB and you're set.
Try this:
Open the Terminal app and run the following commands in it:
Code:
su
remount
cp /sdcard/ADW.Launcher.apk /system/app/ADWlauncher.apk
reboot
how about setting the permissions?
This is how I did it.
0. Make a backup of your original ADWLauncher.apk
1. Download the newest ADW.Launcher from the Market
2. Using Root Explorer, mount as R/W, in /data/app, find the ADW.Launcher apk file
3. Copy and paste the file into /system/app
4. Delete old ADWLauncher.apk
5. Rename copied file to ADWLauncher
6. (If needed) Long press on file and select Permissions, change Permissions to Read: All 3; Write: User
7. Mount back to R/O and exit Root Explorer.
Enjoy.

I am in need of read/write access to my system folder. I am simply trying to copy some ringtones and add a boot animation.
I have SGS tools and ran the r/w script, which allowed me to VIEW the folder with Droid Explorer, however I am unable to actually copy TO the system folder or its subfolders.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT - I've also tried to push the files to the phone via ADB, but I get an error telling me "Failed: Operation Not Permitted".
EDIT x2 - I've also got Root Explorer installed on the phone and it showed R/W access, but again, I can't get any files pushed to the phone.
Did you allow sgs tools to get a root permission?

Did you try fixing permissions through cwm recovery?
try root explorer. and double check superuser permissions

I noticed a section for both "mount /system" and also permissions... Both: DONE.
try root explorer. and double check superuser permissions
Click to expand...

Done & Done...
I've still got no access to R/W in any of the system folders/subs. Any ideas?
I am having the same problem with root explorer..
I have fixed permissions in CWM
It had worked once but now it wont mount r/rw in system folder. Press the icon and it does nothing.
Superuser permission in SGS tools, Root exploer all show active
Any ideas?
Anyone else have any ideas? I'm totally puzzled at this point.
I have sort of fixed the problem..
I go into SGS tools and run the batch file to give r/rw permissions, then I can mount r/rw in system folder, but I loose this each time I reboot and I think when I connect USB..
but it works for the purpose I needed!
I think I've found a work around (or maybe the way it was SUPPOSED to work)...
I rebooted the phone in recovery. Then, selected "mount /system". Then I went to Advanced and "Fix Permissions" (don't know if I had do, just did).
THEN - I was able to FINALLY push the files to the correct folders! I tried it using ADB commands and also with Droid Explorer - Both worked great.
I don't know if the phone was always supposed to be in recovery to do it, but it worked!
Need a help from genius...

Copy files (xrecovery, chargemon, etc) to sdcard. With root explorer copy this files to /system/bin/ and fix permissions.

Copy files (xrecovery, chargemon, etc) to sdcard. With root explorer copy this files to /system/bin/ and fix permissions.
When I use root explorer it shows that "You cannot paste here because the file system is read only"
pls help me to solve this

when I installed kuya droid update it will shows that " This baseband is not compatible with this ROM updated to base band: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 first cannot install"
How can I overcome it.....
pls help me
update baseband first, or maybe you are using wrong recovery.
Ok for some reason I removed an apk file in the system app folder (capture screen I think)
I didnt make a backup before removing but can I just copy over the file from the rom and paste it in as i dont want to reflash again as I have the rom/phone the way I want it
Thanks
Yes you can but after you do that re apply permissions and owner info.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Thanks for info but how do you do that?
Permissions and owner?
Use mount /system and then adb to device while in recovery and open shell. Then do a cd to whatever folder u want and do a chown root /../../../file. Ten using recovery fix permissions or do a chmod.

Flashing new ROM use CWM!
But some update (~ 3-4MB), can i use Root Explorer to copy and replace old file (in "app", "system => lib",...)?
Hate flash must wipe all!
Is replace file is safer than flash ? (flash not wipe cause bootlop)!

Yeah you can do it via root explorer but, why u told flash cause bootloop?? if u flash a Rom u MUST wipe data.. but if it's only a patch (like beats audio) you don't
What do the root explorer show is ROM or internal memory?
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA
No need to wipe always.. if the update is small, just flash it without wipe. You can also wipe cache if needed.

What different between ROM and internal memory?

Rom: system rom like folders system, bin etc..
Internal: your apps data that are stored in internal memory of phone

suppose you are copying some files and there are some critical file being replaced and while copying mobile restart and copying was not done then there are chance of bootloop
in some update packages permission commands are written which cannot be done by just copying (an example of this is while updating su binary with superuser app it shows the progress, in somewhere there it is written that changing permission of file, and if you do not do this and just copy the su binary to /system/xbin you will loose your root access
odexed app cannot be installed just by copying they need to be flashed
so flashing is better than copying
always use cwm that is safer than copyng and replacing files or folders
