Enjoying my galaxy gear but a bit upset that there isn't an easy way to add custom ringtone sounds or notification sounds to the smartwatch. Has anyone figured out a way to add custom sounds to the gear for notifications? Would love to be able to do this myself. Thanks in advance!
yes, there is a way...but unfortunately it requires the device to be rooted first
you can push any custom ringtones using adb commands
adb remount
adb push *.ogg /system/media/audio/alarms/
adb push *.ogg /system/media/audio/notifications/
adb push *.ogg /system/media/audio/ringtones/
adb push *.ogg /system/media/audio/ui
adb remount didnt work for me, i couldn't run adb as root in a production build. i also needed to remount / & /system as rw
so what i did:
mount -ro remount,rw /
mount -ro remount,rw /system
mkdir /tmp1 (temp staging folder)
then push my files to the /tmp1 dir:
adb push filename.ogg /tmp1
(using wildcard on adb command line didnt work for me)
then in a root shell
cp /tmp1/* /system/media/audio/notifications etc whatever dir you want.
to copy all ogg files to the folder.
once you've copied all the files, type in reboot in a shell and the ringtone & notification list in settings will update. viola!
and remember, if you want your ringtone to loop: use your favourite tag editor (I used foobar2000 on Windows), add a tag/field called “ANDROID_LOOP”, and set it to “true”.
without this tag it will not loop.

I'm having trouble finding a definitive way of uninstalling/installing apps onto my phone. this is what I've found.
Either through terminal or ADB:
mount -o rw,remount /system (another thread had mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs, /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system... or something along those lines)
rm -r /system/app/appname.apk
That only seemed to work for com.amazon.mp3.apk.
I've used astro file manager to find out the app names, for example on CM 4.0.4 he has the Work email, which I don't use. Under astro it is called just "Mail". I tried removing mail.apk and i've tried removing com.htc.android.mail.apk (which is what the app says under astro) but I cannot remove that one, nor any of the easier ones (camera.apk etc...). Only amazon mp3 was removed.
Am I missing something?
Also, installing apps. I am having trouble finding out how to push your own.
Any help with these?
Thanks
Easiest way would be to get root explorer off the market.
Or with adb do
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/app/xxxx.apk (or if that doesn't work put -r after rm
In recovery console do
Code:
mount system
rm /system/app/xxx.apk (or -r if doesn't work)
Thats how i remove system apps.
same thing...
I tried rebooting into the console and trying this, here's what I got.
# Mount System
# rm /system/app/com.amazon.mp3.apk (this one works)
# rm /system/app/mail.apk
rm: cannot remove '/system/app/mail.apk' : No such file or directory
# rm /system/app/com.htc.android.com.apk
rm: cannot remove '/system/app/com.htc.android.com.apk' : No such file or directory
the others don't. I am finding the root address the same as with amazon mp3.
I am running CM 4.1.9. I tried it with 4.0.4 but I get the same issue. Only app that comes out is the amazon mp3. I am trying to delete the Work Email, Voice Dialer and push in the My Faves.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Filenames are case sensitive.
/system/app/Mail.apk
/system/app/Camera.apk
Go to your apps directory to see the filenames with
Code:
cd /system/app
ls
Forum search adb explorer

OK, for those on any cupcake or donut build, I've included instruction to get the new Maps 3.2.0 and the new YouTube app from Eclair (Android 2.0).
1. Download the zip file. View attachment 2.0_Apps.zip
2. Extract and place Maps.apk and YouTube.apk on the root of your SDCard
I'm using CyanogenMod 4.2.2 with CM-Recovery 1.4
In CM 4.2.2 the apps are found in /system/app ***while the phone is on and operation, if it's off or in recovery the symlink won't be active so please make sure your phone is completely booted. Don't do this from Recovery Console***
If you're using a different rom... go through your phone and locate Maps.apk and YouTube.apk update the links below accordingly
Windows users (with ADB working)
1. Open a CMD (command promt window)
Type:
- adb remount
- adb shell
- rm /system/app/Maps.apk
- rm /system/app/YouTube.apk
- cd /sdcard
- cp Maps.apk /system/app
- cp YouTube.apk /system/app
Phone Users:
1. Open a Terminal Window:
2. Type the following:
- su
- mount /system -o remount,rw
- rm /system/app/Maps.apk
- rm /system/app/YouTube.apk
- cd /sdcard
- cp Maps.apk /system/app
- cp YouTube.apk /system/app
You don't need to reboot... Apps will show up immediately in your menu. (You'll need to put them back on your Home Screen if you had them there though)
You're done... enjoy!
Is this the new maps with turn by turn?
You might want to change from
rm /system/app/Maps.apk
rm /system/app/Youtube.apk
to
mv /system/app/Maps.apk /sdcard/Maps.apk.old
mv /system/app/Youtube.apk /sdcard/Youtube.apk.old
the youtube app isn't all that stable and it never hurts to keep a backup, also I believe you need to remove any .obex files for maps and youtube to avoid problems although I didn't see any under CM 4.2.2
edit: I also believe these don't work on 1.5 might be worth pointing out in the OP

I tried a few different variations.
remember to remount first and make sure you have the correct directories.
some roms uses system/app, some roms uses data/app_s

Yeah I did do that...odd
do u have the origional file.. i made a booboo and didnt back up. forgot to backup origional file.
can u use a file explorer and browse and double check which directories the files are actually in? i see you tried both system/app and app_s. and i see you have lowercase for maps.apk. it could be uppercase, case sensitive.
for example your first cmd #rm /system/app/maps.apk, it should be Maps.apk
also for the copying part you need to do adb push, dont do it from shell. if you do from shell it would have to be from sdcard to that directory. i noticed in your log you didnt change directory to sdcard.

Hahah yeah I made the same mistake--was getting 'Cross-Linked' errors so I said ehh fudge it and just wiped the original out. After that I was able to get the new Maps.apk loaded up though and DAMN, definitely an improvement
I thought these apps wouldnt work on anything below android 1.6?
If you're having trouble finding the app and want to check the directory you're in you can use ls (that's LS) to list the contents of the current directory. ROMs store things in different places so if you haven't already try....
adb remount
adb shell
cd /data/
ls
At that point see if you have app, app_s, app-private etc then if you do you can ....
cd app or app_s etc
Then do..
ls Maps.apk (this is case-sensitive)
If you get nothing do
cd ..
That'll take you back one directory, so if you're in /data/app it'll put you in /data
With those few commands you can probably find it. I don't use Linux enough to know what if there's a 'find' command available in console. The other option that might be quicker would be to find the .zip of the ROM you're using, create a new folder for it, move the .zip file to the new folder and then extract it there. That way you can browse through directories more easily or use Windows / OS X / Linux search functions to find Maps.apk
Phew...

Sound advise, one last thing for anyone who didn't know the remount command is
mount -o rw,remount /system (assuming your apps are in /system/app)
so full instructions for a CyanogenMod install from the sd card would be as follows
- su
- mount -o rw,remount /system
- cd /sdcard
- mv /system/app/Maps.apk /sdcard/Maps.apk.old
- mv /system/app/YouTube.apk /sdcard/Youtube.apk.old
- cp Maps.apk /system/app
- cp YouTube.apk /system/app
To revert back to old apps if you decide you don't like the new ones
- su
- mount -o rw,remount /system
- cd /sdcard
- cp Maps.apk.old /system/app/Maps.apk
- cp Youtube.apk.old /system/app/Youtube.apk

If you have a2sd, try mapping to /system/sd/app or /system/sd/app_s
Make sure you remount before doing so.
hey guys!
for those who are having problems...
I just put the apk files in my sdcard and then upgraded it using ASTRO.. it worked fine!
yeah well every1 is doing this mad confusing lmfao i just installed with appsinstaller and it worked like a charm lol why is everything always confusing
well one my friend have problem with his HTC Tattoo while he was trying to delete a font from font folder he accidentally deleted the FONT FOLDER now his phone is not working...
is there anyway to fix this problem ?
I suppose that usb connection works, so he can push them to device via adb.
Here is the fonts folder.
Or he can use Android commander: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628138 to push them in system with an easier way.
can u pls explain how i can do it via ADB ?
Sorry, I'm not a linux expert and I don't know exactly which commands you must give. For this I suggested Android commander, cause you can drag & drop the folder to device's system folder like you do in windows file explorer.
You can also push the folder along with files with the Android SDK... It's easier as it is GUI based...

1. Unpack the zip file into a folder
2. Connect Tattoo via USB, start recovery, open a terminal and type adb start-server
3. cd into the fontfolder: cd fontfolder
3. PATH\TO\adb push . /system/fonts (please note the DOT!!!! sign)
You're done.
What prob with my tattoo?
I used root1click tool
And I installed Enable Market >>>>> My phone's rooted
but when I try to push font in /system/fonts
ADB say : Permission Denied
Please Help
You need to remount the filesystem with the read-write permission.
Before typing "PATH\TO\adb push . /system/fonts" you need to execute "PATH\TO\adb remount"
I tried
adb remount
adb say:
remount failed: operation not permitted
what prob?
If you type
adb shell
Do you see a # or a $ ? (if you see a $ something has gone wrong with the root)
I believe you cannot remount via adb with stock (didn't try)...install Root Explorer and then try to remount from phone side (there is a button on the upper side saying: Mount RW)
Else do it manually and open adb shell and type:
1. su
2. insmod /data/local/bin/tattoo-hack.ko
3. mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data
4. mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Ladies and Gents:
Please help me out.
I am trying to install a "Japanese IME" that sir JMaurice has kindly provided through one of the forums.
Did everything (I think) required in order to get my N1 connected and recognized by my laptop. Then used SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse to gain root. Started on the IME installation and got the following.
>adb devices
List of devices attached
HTxxxPxxxxxx device
>adb kill-server
* server not running *
>adb root
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
So I decided to confirm root.
>adb shell
$ su
su
# exit
exit
$ exit
exit
I couldn't start the "adb push" sequence due to the errors above. What am I doing wrong?
Did you reboot after executing SuperOneClick? Try that.

Weird, but already seen on the forum not a long time ago, I think. I'm not sure what can be done in this situation. "adb remount" can be easily substituted by shell commands, root shell you're still achieving by "su", but how to solve this - I have no idea. Might be permissions thing.

Please clarify. Where possible, detailed explanation/instructions would be most appreciated.
You have root, that's all fine.
To use the command adb remount, you need an insecure bootloader, as you don't have this (due to using the stock boot.img) you have to mount /system as RW in a different way:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /system

What I am trying to achieve after adb remount is:
adb push iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime /data/data/
adb push iWnnIME/[email protected]@[email protected] /data/dalvik-cache/
adb push iWnnIME/libiwnn.so /system/lib/

.
.
adb push iWnnIME/libnjubase2.so /system/lib/
adb push iWnnIME/DroidSansJapanese.ttf /system/fonts/
adb install iWnnIME/iWnnIME.apk
This will actaully be the first time for me to use su. Could you confirm whether the following sequence of commands are correct?
>adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /data
# exit
$ exit
> adb push iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime /data/data/

Please let me know if I am missing anything.
Wrong. You don't need to remount data, it's always writeable, and the command is erroneous - you're mounting system partition and calling it "data". You need to just push the apps to /data, as shown below:
> adb push iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime /data/data/
> adb push iWnnIME/[email protected]@[email protected] /data/dalvik-cache/

I think I am starting to understand this. I punched in the first adb push sequence and got the following:
> adb push iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime /data/data/
push: iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime/dicset/master/njuserphone.a -> /data/data/dicset/master/njuserphone.a
failed to copy 'iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime/dicset/master/njuserphone.a' to '/data/data/dicset/master/njuserphone.a': No such file or directory
Checked in tools directory and the appropriate directory/file combination was there. Does this indicate that I have to create the appropriate directory in my phone?
Someone? Anyone?
Or is it possible to execute the same adb sequence in shell as su?
I must admit, I've never pushed more that a single file at a time over, given you appear to be trying to push an entire directory tree, perhaps you might be better off copying it over to the SD card in Windows, and using busybox to get it where you need it.
Exactly as Rusty suggested above me. Otherwise you need to create all the directories manually, through adb shell mkdir <your_directory_that_is_not_on_the_phone> .
As stated in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787163.
I am new to ADB so I need some instructions.
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
I did all this. So what's next?
bump, help me please.
You can use adb push to copy
If you have already remounted system partition in read-write mode then, you can use
adb push folderonpc/filetocopy /system/folderonmobile to copy files on mobile.
However, you cannot use wild cards like * to copy all the files in one go. You have to copy one by one. You can use batch file to automate it.
Copying Files to or from an Emulator/Device Instance
You can use the adb commands pull and push to copy files to and from an emulator/device instance's data file. Unlike the install command, which only copies an .apk file to a specific location, the pull and push commands let you copy arbitrary directories and files to any location in an emulator/device instance.
To copy a file or directory (recursively) from the emulator or device, use
Code:
adb pull <remote> <local>
To copy a file or directory (recursively) to the emulator or device, use
Code:
adb push <local> <remote>
In the commands, <local> and <remote> refer to the paths to the target files/directory on your development machine (local) and on the emulator/device instance (remote).
Here's an example:
Code:
adb push foo.txt /sdcard/foo.txt
