Download the android SDK, use adb shell to remount system by hand and exchanges the files you want by hand.
If something doesn't work then you can tell us what the error read and we can provide further help.
Info on adb shell is available through forum search or google .

Sorry Im searching now for 2h and couldnt find any way to get this working.
I downloaded the sdk but Im not able to connect to the phone...
Im dont know how to find the right tutorial, I need one to setup my ADB and connect to the phone and afterwords to remount the system...
I would suggest using Root Explorer, which allows you to remount directories as R/W.

Alright, easiest way is to download RevoBatteryMod.zip. Once downloaded open the zip file. Open system file, then framework file. There should be a framework-res.apk in there. Replace it with yours. Back out and rezip if you extracted (you don't have to though, you can just open it) Flash the new zip and ignore what it says through cwm. It will install it for you.
Thank you sir worked like magic!
Now I can finely get around to paying the mortgage

Btw it did let me adb push in recovery using the adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk out just didn't take the changes I made because of being read only I guess I don't see why I can't adb remount to get rw though I tried that in recovery also and still got the same error any thoughts on why I can't get the system to remount?

Well to get a long story short,im not a complete noob in the rooting,optimising,flashing bussiness.
So dont tell me flash this kernel or this stock rom,or this or that.
The problem after hours of searching is a bad app.
I have bought over 500 apps cause i want to support the community.
So,when i restore all my apps,when the phone starts,after the home screen loads AT THE MOMENT WHERE IN TOUCHWIZ OR ADW OR WHATEVER THE APPS ARE FINALLY LOADED
REBOOT,hot reboot most of the times...
I tried everything...startup managers to block everything and i mean everything...
Rescan media root app to stop scanning of sdcard...
Everything,no matter if it froyo,ginger,ics,stock,rooted or WHATEVER.
Of course i can install one app at a time an reboot,to see what happens but that will take ages and also maybe one app 'hit' with another...
So help me find the bad app...
I am no noob but i am no pro either...
So how do i take a logcat? Will that help either way?
Do i have to use adb?
help....
You are kidding right? You have 500 apps installed at the same time? Why on Earth? I think you are lucky the phone even tries to boot...
On to your problem at hand - no one here will be able to help you with the info you provided.
I thought their was like a 30 app limit to android?
Adb is your best bet.

Yes,i have so many apps and i want to find which app 'collides' with another or at least which app causes problems.
I used logcat with semaphore kernel and i have taken out some txt files just before the soft reboots...
How adb will help me.
I will find how to install adb but what then?
What command should i use?
And the phoen will be open?In recovery? What?

Well you certainly need apps 2 SD ... but you probably already have that.
To use adb, download it firstly. Its in the Google developer tools.
Once downloaded open terminal. Alt+ctrl+t. Use CD to change to the directory that contains adb in the platform tools. Once your in the folder containing adb, type "./adb logcat" without the quotes. This is for a computer running Ubuntu Linux also

thanx for the response.
i have set adb succesfully and i see the logcat on my cmd window running like hell most of the time.
i read that you can use some commands like -w -e etc to narrow the results to important messages? is that correct?
if yes,how you can do that? i mean the full command adb logcat....etc
thanx in advance

Unfortunately I have very little adb experience...
Maybe try something like the same command you used
"./adb logcat"
I guess going by what you're saying you could try something like
"./adb logcat -w" try that then maybe replace the w with e..
Keep in mind these are just guesses because I do not know for certain
I will research as soon as possible and write a quide for it as this can benefit lots of people

Another way would be using ddms - connect your phone in debug and run ddms (it's included in the SDK Tools). It provides an interface to browse your device's logs and filter them according to your needs. I think you'll be able to locate that one which explains why your phone is crashing.
On second thought however - is it possible for you to turn the debug on?

thank you!
great idea,i will test it
yes,i can turn the debug on,because the phone crashes just when all the apps are loaded in the drawer.
it must be a bad app because i used to have many apps since froyo times and no problem.
like 500...and the phone was fast.
i really want to find that bad app and kill it
edit
================================
wow,ddms is a dream! thats what i was looking for!!!
thank you
Sorry for the double post but i thought it needed a single post.
Well,the problem is fixed with the help of you guys!!!
I was getting a hell lot of warnings about watchdog_n and stuff.
I googled it and appeared that a whole bunch of people had the same problem especially with nexus s etc.
They said it was due to some crappy app wanting to auto-sync.
So i did a wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache,fix fc and then when the phone rebooted i disabled the auto-sync.
Guess what,no more loops and soft reboots!!!
I still dont know what app is causing all the problems and propably never will,if you thing that the same apps in my tablet dont cause a thing,but after the auto-sync off the problem is gone.
Good thing though i dont need auto-sync cause its not the best solution...
Hey guys...
Just wanna ask, if there's other options or ways to install certain apps WITHOUT changing root permission on our X8? Cuz it's quite confusing and sometimes not even work e.g. when I tried to install Xperia S Home Launcher mod. I'm using GingerXperiaRay V004 and nAa kernel. Even changing root permission cannot install it ('application not installed' message constantly appeared)
Thanks for help!!!
Not sure if it will help, but you can try installing apps from Android Commander (I can't post a link but use a search engine). It's a Windows program that basically acts like ADB with a GUI with other helpful functions.

All right thanx man I'll try using ADB then lets see if it's gonna work...
Yep, use adb to push that app to your phone. It depends if you use what the other guy said or use sdk and copy adb to home directory etc. Full explanation later, I have school

Ever since I rooted in my sms apk there is only one contact that the icon actually shows the picture. Everyone else is just the ghost icon. I had the same issue from time to time on my Inspire but it would cone and go. But on the vivid its been ever since I rooted. I've searched and searched but only found a bunch of solutions that don't work. As far as I can tell there is nothing different between the one contact that it will show the pic and all the rest. Also the pics show when it comes in before I unlock the screen but when I get into the actual sms apk it only shows the one. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

What ROM are you using?
What SMS app are you using?
Where are your icons coming from (Facebook, custom, etc)?
Did you happen to have run the Photo Unlocker app?
I haven't even flashed a Rom yet so I suppose the original ruu would be the answer to that. No sms app nothing fancy. Yea most contact pics are from Facebook. Even the one of the girl who's shows up. I've tried unsyncing my FB account and various other things in various orders. I can't get anywhere
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Try running photo unlocker first. Let me know if that does anything. You can find it in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25375055&postcount=3
If that doesn't work, we need to try to fix the permissions of your icon directory. I think unlocker does that already though, so it's easier just to run that app.
(Once you run it successfully you can remove it)
This will sound dumb. I can't find the option to allow non market apps. It won't let me open it. When I try it directs me to security settings but that option is not there

Sorry man, my bad... It's in Settings -> Security after all. It's called "Unknown Sources".
It took me to this from the app after trying to install. I thought if I moved it to my SD that would help but it did not. I swear that I have seen that option before I rooted. They just need to hurry up with the HTC One X+ so I can a decent phone.... Harumph

Try this either way... Open a terminal (I use ConnectBot personally, but use whatever you like)
and run this line: chmod -R 777 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*
That will change the permissions on all your icons and the directories under them. You might not need to use Photo Unlocker unless you're using a 3rd party SMS app anyway.
I'm on ICS. As far as I know this phone was stock ICS (craigslist).. cool I'll try that when I get home and let you know.
Not in asetting-apps either.

Your best bet is probably going to be just flashing a ROM. Bare minimum try out the Stock rooted one. It's somewhere in Vivid Development on here. Contact pictures has worked on every single ROM I've tried. Strange that you don't have the install from untrusted sources option though. It's been on every AT&T release since gingerbread I believe.
chmod -R 777 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*
-Operation not permitted-
Is the response I got after running that in a terminal. I d/l connectbot but as I am not so familiar with much command line work I couldn't even figure out how to open a terminal but have Absolute System Toolbox for Root. That has a terminal emulator in it so I ran it from there.

Either /system wasn't mounted read/write (try browsing to it with a Es explorer with all the root options turned on) ortry this commandline command:
mount -t ext3 -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
If you can't execute that, you're not root.
Same thing. Operation not permitted. System was mounted R/W and everything I have looked at has told me I'm rooted. I followed hansoons kit to the letter.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
In your terminal try doing the command "su".
Then type "whoami". That will tell you for sure if you have root or not.
If you can su to root, then try executing those commands again. Try the remount first to ensure it's mounted R/W (/system is mounted read-only by default whether you're root or not), then the chmod command again.
Tried those commands no such luck. If im not rooted then why is everything asking for root permissions and telling me that im rooted? Im so confused
I'm confused too now. Maybe your terminal app doesn't have root perms?

What is the exact error you're getting?
Are you sure you have busybox installed? Make sure you do first and foremost.
If you're sure you do have it installed, please post the error for each command you're trying to run.
