i try this on the comment prompt while phone running.
cd\sdk
cd android-sdk-windows
cd tools
adb devices
adb shell
#mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cd /system/app
ls
i get all the apk. files
i try removing an apk.file
typing this syntax:
rm -f thenameoftheapp.apk
and it'll say:
rm failed for -f, read only file system
it wont let me write on the system im guessing.
Now i tried doing the same thing but phone mode is on recovery.
I have the nand protection unlocked so when i get to recovery mode
i have already the custom recovery setup showing, i don't run the recovery-windows.bat.
now when i type this on the comment prompt
cd\sdk
cd android-sdk-windows
cd tools
adb devices
adb shell
#mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cd /system/app
ls
i get all the apk. files
i try removing an apk.file
typing this syntax:
rm -f thenameoftheapp.apk
after i hit enter it shows me
#
so im assuming the apk. has been removed
after i exit the comment prompt and i wipe the dalvik-cache
i reboot the phone and all the apps i removed are still there and running still.
help please

This Guide is for windows only. If you are using Mac OS X please go here: ADB For Dummies
If you are using Linux please go here: [HOW-TO]Set up Android SDK/ADB/Fastboot on Ubuntu Linux
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things you need:
Android SDK - Download
Winrar - Download (32bit) Download (64bit)
Windows PC
USB Cable
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting up the Android SDK
Download the file from above
Unzip to your desktop
Take the "android-sdk-windows" folder and move it to the root of your hard drive (C:\)
Right click on My Computer and click properties
Select the Advanced Tab or Advanced System Setting (Vista/Windows 7)
Select Environment Variables...
Press New
For Variable Name type: adb
For Variable Value type: C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Now, [Get new sdk (1.5r3) to work]
1. Run SDK Setup.exe
2. If it gives you an error go to settings and click on "Force http//....."
3. Select all options and let it download and install
If you cant get the setup to work, Download the USB-DRIVERS folder - HERE (Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preparing your phone for ADB
Go to Settings on your phone
Select Applications
Select Development
Make sure 'USB Debugging' is checked
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing Drivers
Plug in your phone through USB and DO NOT MOUNT IT!!!!!
Your computer should see a new device and try to install Android 1.0 driver (If it doesnt, scroll down to the "Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB" section)
Let it load
Once it cant find them select "Install drivers from my pc"
The drivers you need are in the Android SDK 1.5r2 folder (C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver)
Depending on your OS pick x86 or amd64
You ADB Android Device should now be installed! Good Job
For Android SDK 1.5r3+
1. Run SDK Setup.exe
2. If it gives you an error go to settings and click on "Force http//....."
3. Select all options and let it download and install
If you cant get the setup to work, Download the USB-DRIVERS folder - HERE (Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check if your phone is detected by ADB
Open up Command Prompt (Go to run, type in cmd, press enter)
Type in
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools === Press Enter
adb devices === You should see your device listed
adb shell === you should see # in the next line
Now you are all set to run adb commands
Note: for a list of commands type in 'adb' in cmd
CONGRATS YOU NOW HAVE ADB FULLY RUNNING!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB"
Why: Your computer has detected your phone but as a protable device and as a storage device.
Fix: This took me a lot of research and time to figure out so this is what your are going to do.
First download USBDeview - Here
Unzip it
Run USBDeview.exe as Administrator
You will see all drivers being used on your computer
Highlight and Uninstall all drivers with the description have HTC Android (Should be 3 of them)
Right Click on the driver and press uninstall
Once done, Unplug your phone and plug it back in
You should now get the notification of the ADB device
Follow the steps above to install the drivers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Typing just adb in cmd you will get whats called a "usage doc" which gives you a lits of commands that you can use:
Code:
-d - directs command to the only connected USB devic
e
returns an error if more than one USB device is
present.
-e - directs command to the only running emulator.
returns an error if more than one emulator is r
unning.

a relative/absolute path to a product
out directory like 'out/target/product/sooner'.
If -p is not specified, the ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT
environment variable is used, which must
be an absolute path.
devices - list all connected devices
device commands:

Okej I will try it out..
I can´t install Calculator.apk or the modified youtube.apk (High quality set as default) on my X10i????
for the calculator(is it a system apk) ? if yes then you have to push it to /system/app, if not try installing after signing it.
For youtube.apk i am sure it is a system apk and you need to push it to system/app

looking at the screen shot you gave i am sure you haven't pushed it to sdcard .
it should be
Code:
adb push "the path where you have the apk" /sdcard/YouTube.apk
unless you have copied it to android-sdk folder.
And it seems it didn't mount the system to r/w .
Try these:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb push "the path where you have the apk" /sdcard/YouTube.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/YouTube.apk of=/system/app/YouTube.apk

For those of you that felt in love with the Blur Alarm and looking for a way to add it back. I have figured out the missing files beside the apk that goes in the system\app. This has been tested with sucess for Fission ROM v2.0.1.
Adding Blur alarm
system\app\BlurAlarmClock.apk
framework\blur-res.apk
framework\com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar
Hope it help.
nice,
I prefer the blur alarm over the normal one.
but here is my problem, the dock is DeskClock.apk, which is also the Clock and the alarms,
when I replace it with the Dock.apk, then the dock won't start up,
did you try to do that?
I'm getting the following exception, and have no clue on how to fix that Oo
Code:
11-04 00:39:22.031 2063 2063 E AndroidRuntime: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.motorola.dlauncher/com.motorola.dlauncher.DLauncher}: java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 10048 nor current process has android.permission.DEVICE_POWER.

What ROM are you using? I renamed the original DeskClock.apk to DeskClock.bak since I don't have a docking station. May be it has something to do with the dlauncher. I also deleted the original launcher2 and replaced it with launcherpro.apk.
Fission 2.0.2
I basically did the same with the DeskClock.apk
but added the Dock.apk from the clean verizon rom (which is basically the "stock" droid2), I guess I'm simply missing something
btw, com.motorola.dlauncher is Dock.apk
I guess something is still missing which would set the missing permission oO
got it to work...
if someone cares:
I had to manually modify the /data/system/packages.xml
it should contain something like this:
Code:
<package name="com.motorola.dlauncher" codePath="/system/app/Dock.apk" flags="1" ts="1288859615000" version="8" userId="10057">
<sigs count="1">
<cert index="1" />
</sigs>
</package>
userId and ts are probably different
change the cert index to 0 !
reboot (right after it, for example with adb reboot)
after reboot, check that your change is still in this file (should be)
put your phone into the docking station, and the blur dock should start
yay
lol, this default blur alarm app is awesome and best I have seen. I was so surprised at what it wanted me to do when I first woke up to it , lol
I am not using fission and I am using Rubix 1.6.
I can only find the bluralarm.apk file and I can't find
framework\blur-res.apk
framework\com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar
Do i have to nandroid back to a blurry room to pick these up or are they available somewhere else?
Thanks

Perfect; thanks much.
Question?
How do I add this to my phone and make it work? Do I need to use ADB and move it to the phone or what? I really liked the blur alarm a lot and would like to get that back if I can. Thanks for any help in advance.
You just need a method to transfer the files to the phone to the correct spot
ADB or root explorer can move the files
I will show the adb method below, you can substitute the adb shell, mount, cp (copy), chmod (change permissions), and rm (delete) steps with Root Explorer
ADB
Open a command prompt
cd to the directory where you have the files on your computer
Code:
adb push BlurAlarmClock.apk /sdcard/BlurAlarmClock.apk
adb push blur-res.apk /sdcard/BlurAlarmClock.apk
adb push com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar /sdcard/com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar
Then adb shell to the phone, mount system as r/w, copy the files to the system
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/BlurAlarmClock.apk /system/app/BlurAlarmClock.apk
cp /sdcard/blur-res.apk /system/framework/blur-res.apk
cp /sdcard/com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar /system/framework/com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar
Then set the permissions on these files so they will work
Code:
chmod 644 /system/app/BlurAlarmClock.apk
chmod 644 /system/framework/blur-res.apk
chmod 644 /system/framework/com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar
You can then remove the files from the sdcard if you wish
Code:
rm /sdcard/BlurAlarmClock.apk
rm /sdcard/blur-res.apk
rm /sdcard/com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar
Now mount the system as read-only again
Code:
sync
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
As for the Blur dock
Use the same steps above to copy the file and move it to the system
Code:
adb push Dock.apk /sdcard/Dock.apk
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/Dock.apk /system/app/Dock.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/Dock.apk
sync
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
rm /sdcard/Dock.apk
Next pull the packages.xml file
Code:
adb pull /data/system/packages.xml
Edit packages.xml as shown in the above post
Then push back
Code:
adb push packages.xml /data/system/packages.xml
When you "install" the blur dock, you might want to remove the standard android dock
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
mv /system/app/DeskClock.apk /system/app/DeskClock.bak
sync
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Notice I just used mv (rename/move)
This is just in case I want it back later
You may need to reboot the phone when you are finished for this to work.
I never tried without rebooting so I don't know if they will work otherwise.
i get an error when try adb push a recovery file to my sdcard and ideas?
Need to give it a file name at the location you're moving it to I believe.
Example: adb push foo.txt /sdcard/foo.txt
ok thanx, how do i delete a file off the phone? when i install a custom recovery and reboot it goes back too stock recovery so i need to delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file, but need to know how

Hello there, my nexus 4 just got bootloop after replaced framework-res.apk and systemui.apk I forgot to make the permissions r-w-r-r.
For not loosing data, what I do is try to push the original framework & systemui APK file via adb push. And it's still not worked.
My list of command is:
adb
adb devices
adb root
adb mount -o rw,remount /system (because It's said the file read only)
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb chmod 0644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk (changing the permission to r-w-r-r)
then
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/priv-apps/SystemUI
adb chmod 0644 /system/priv-apps/SystemUI.apk
adb mount -o ro,remount /system
adb reboot
Did all of my command is right? Please CMIIW.
My phone still stucked at bootanimation. Have been waiting for a long time. Please help me instead tell me to use fastboot (the last option). Any help reply would be appreciated. Thanks.
