you can just adb push to /system/sd/app_s/

So it would be
Adb install /system/sd/app_s/nameofapp.apk
Or
Adb push /system/sd/app_s/nameofapp.apk

if it's on your sdcard, go to the terminal and type
cp /sdcard/blahblah.apk /system/sd/app_s

glad you got it figured out, and for anyone else that may read this later, it would have been
Code:
adb push nameoffile.apk /system/sd/app_s/

{UTIL}( Vibrant )Enable Adb Push / Pull

We had are First Sleepless Night with the New baby Boy.... Between Trying Figure out what was Wrong & taking turns with the Wife Holding Aries, I tried Pushing File's & forgot adb push didn't work...
Now this Script originally is what I made for the Behold 2, but the Basic still works For the SGV..
Just mod the script if your using the userinit.sh
Using this script you can place the userinit.sh any place you would Like...
I hope ever gets Good use out of this & Please Enjoy!

Thanks for the script.

Anyone test this with the init script + this?
Sorry for double doubting again ) But i just want confirmation.
Also, Some of us are still having force close and other issues with the init sript. Just FYI.

Script Does work, I'm leaving up to the User to add back in support for userinit.sh though.

Word. so ill wait till someone tests this with the userinit
I think it has something to do with davik cache. I have to figure out a way to clear all cache without wiping. I dont want to go through all that non-sense.
Great work though. *Hats off*

Thank's Eugene for all your hard work,your the sh**

Hey eugene you think your battery hack will work on the vibrant?

this won't work with the userinit because it replaces the same file as the userinit. Now it could easily be modified to do both.....

Honestly you could just add the script from userinit.sh inside of the script, or the other way around & should still work fine.

Question, I would like to do as you said. Just add to the userinit
Is the problem just having the system/data mounted? It seems thats all your script does. If so, I can just use a widget to unmount/mount as i go. and not bother to have my system/data mounted all the time Please let me know.
Thanks!

Nicely done! I appreciate the work, I was hoping someone figured out a way to do adb push.. xda to the rescue again

hi, somewhat n00bie-ish (sorry) but what could
..deamon started.. "remount failed: no such file in directory"
in command prompt after i enter "adb remount" mean??

Am having the exact same problem, with a Samsung spica (i5700) though. Any ideas?

adb remount is not needed with my script.. system / rootfs is already mount via the script.

shameless bump
so I can find this easier... I wish our Moderator would get on his job...
thanks for your work eugene..

[Q] ginger bread keyboard!

Hello everyone. Last nite I installed that gingerbread keyboard on my nexus and im not really liking it and there's no options to revert back to the original keyboard plz help. Thank u all!

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

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] EFS folder gone

I have flashed my phone multiple times without any problems (as far as I know). And now I realised that the backup of the original /efs and /persist folders have been lost. So I want to back them up again, but I can't find them. They're not on the phone. I also can't find them in my original Nandroid backup I made of GB 2.3.6 (stock) prior to going to an ICS Rom.
But my IMEI number is showing up correct on the phone, so it must be somewhere, but where?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would, if I could, but the problem is, that I don't have a /efs folder on my phone. I did a search with root explorer...nada. But since my IMEI is currenly present and correct, it must be stored somewhere else, right? And that location is the one I'm trying to find.
I'm currently running Ehndroix III Rom on my SGS+.

Thanks for the tip. I tried and failed
Andromizer (sp?) didn't even show the option for backing up the /efs folder and Nitrality claims it backed it up, but its backup directory is nowhere to be seen. Yes, I did google the default location and it says it's supposed to be something like /clockworkmod. I have TWRP, could that have something to do with it?

I always have "show hidden folders" ticked. The weird thing is, I decided to have a look at DH's phone (same model, same rom) and again, no /efs folder. I wonder if it may be the rom? I'll be getting a new phone tomorrow, so once that's set up I'm going to return my current one to stock and see what happens.

Ok. if imei is showing you can back it up with adb. use these commands.
Code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27 of=/sdcard/efs.ext4 bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/persist.ext4 bs=4096"
you will get a backup in sdcard.

What you've just described is a recipe for disaster if you don't know what you're doing. You also haven't told us if you've got a lot of apps installed/movies/music, etc. If we have that information, we can probably help you more.

I'm using vanilla root box right now. I had a few movies before I flashed and now I can't find them. I had the viper ROM prior to the flash. I know that's where all my space is but when I'm looking for the files in root explorer i can't find it.

If you dont need anything prior to your flashing of Root Box, navigate to /data/media in twrp and delete that. That is your old file system.

Could be cache files as well. They build up quickly and you'd be surprised how much can be there over a month or so. I have deleted gigabytes worth before 0_o
Run this command from terminal emulator....

All your cache is gone from your SD card now.
