check the timestamps through an explorer on those files and compare with the ones you backed up.
Or make a backup, compare that with a tool like winmerge with the other backup. Not sure if winmerge can do that thought

hi, i had a small problem last night whereas my phone got stuck in a restart loop after installing a developers theme via MetaMorph
After this problem i now want to be able to fix any changes to themes that i make, and if i mess something up i want to be able to restore it without reflashing my device.
Im sure that if i backup the files that are being changed in modifications i download, or ones i make myself, then i can restore these files or packages in download mode via ADB?
so in cmd i can backup with:
adb pull /system/app/framework-aes.apk
and then restore with
adb push framework-aes.apk /system/app
i can possibly even back them up just using Root Explorer, but when pushing files back on my device i get the error, 'insufficient permissions'. I have read about opening Root Explorer and adding the permissions from there, but they dont allow me to change the system folder, as its read-only
Any help appreciated!
Edit:
Off-topic im also interested to know if its possible to extract the .dex files to get the .java classes out, im guessing they are compiled
thanks

You can change the backup name but do not touch anything inside the backup folder. I always do this and have not experienced any md5 sum error.
example:
backup name is 2012.05.18.12.30.25
rename it to: 2012.05.18.CM7.mebitek or any other name.
Just use any file manager to rename it. no need to plug it to PC. I would advise not to use CWM manager since it was not made to support all devices. AFAIK, it was intended to be used only for CF-root-kernels in which the CWM was modified by chainfire to be compatible on specific devices..
I change the name by plug to com ....nothing happen just dun touch inside thing ..the folder name u can change it whatever u want.

I have Galaxy Note with ICS 4.0.4, and my note already root, my question is why I couldn't change/edit txt file with Root Browser.
When I opened the file, it can be opened and edited, and after I save the file, reopen it, it still the same with the old one (before edit).
Can someone here tell me why and how to edit in system file?
Thx
How can you justify this thread in Dev section?
Mods please move to Q&A

Sounds like you don't have full root, try to paste a system app in system/app folder (& set permissions), if the file won't paste you need to root your phone,
There's enough guides for this so no point in repeating them.
If it will paste, then post your query including what you're trying to achieve in Q&A section or pm me, see if I can help.

I've already tested with copy, delete, rename & change file properties at system files.
It will work temporary only if I do a setting on "ES File Explorer" application. I have to go to setting and uncheck and check the Mount File System (Mount / . / system as writable).
But it worked only temporary, the file properties will back to before, only copy, delete, rename files still remain.
If after sometimes, I want to copy or delete or edit a file, I have to do the same procedure again with the help of "ES File Explorer" app.
The problem is, the file system cannot be changed if using some program like Volume+, CallRecorder, so the application didn't effect, even with the setting above.
Note : I've already checked with Root Checker application, ant it's said "Already Rooted"
Now I am using ICS 4.0.4 official for my Galaxy Note.
Ugrade from Gingerbread to CS with Mobile ODIN from Play Store.
Any suggestion which I can do to set the system, so it won't always return to lock the file (not editable) ?
Thx

Why you want replace it???
It may create lots problems to you.. As it contains imei info..
Better to stay away from that folder.. Or do a backup of that folder before altering it..

Because I flashed CM10 and need to restore my IMEI.
Anway I fixed it on my own. I just pasted the contents of the EFS Folder and it worked!
Also I did have more than enough space, which is why I was confused
Hope this helps others who have the same problem.
Hi,
I've installed an custom Mail app which supposed to delete the exchange policies but it didn't work. The custom installation kit (via cwm/twrp) removed the original Mail.apk files and the replacement is not working. After reboot I've ended up with no Mail app installed.
Can someone guide me please how to restore my original Mail.apk please ?
Can someone provide me please the files I need to restore the Mail from 2.24.401.1?
Do I need only the original Mail.apk and Mail.odex files?
If I'm copying them in /system/app/ will be enough?
I've tried to restore it from cwm backup using nandroid manager.
It says it restore it successfully but after reboot it didn't install it.
There are no Mail files in systems/app
When I'm trying to launch the Mail app it says so is not installed.
Any idea why is not working?
Remove all existing mail accounts and delete admin rights (if any remaining), then try putting back the file attached in system/app folder. You will need to mount it with read/write access, using a root explorer (as ES explorer for example).
Be careful, if you're using another rom that ARHD 12 (which the attached file is extracted from) you will need to rename it "Mail+nonprime.apk"
Reboot, and check how things go...
Hope this will help

is this modified apk based on the 2.24 framework or older?
Thanks guys but I don't have the ARHD, I have the stock 4.2.2 + root.
I've manged to restore it last night using Cwm, restoring the whole backup. Luckily I had a backup make sure you do a backup first while attempting to try custom things
I still don't understand why the restore only for the Mail app didn't work.
I did not have any mail account or Admin user.
