The only real complaint I have about the Aria is its low speaker volume, both for calls as well as media like music and videos. Is there any hack available to get the volume louder? I know meltus had a Audiohack mod for the G1, but its not compatible with 2.1 devices like the Aria. Does anyone know of any other mod we can use?
Go to Settings > Call and turn on Hearing aids. It will make the in call volume a little louder.
Aria Audio Hack
I've been disappointed by the low volume coming out of the speaker on the Aria so I began doing some testing with the Audio Hack meltus put together at androidaudiohacks.com. In the latest version there are three files (AudioFilter.csv, AudioPara4.csv, and AudioPreProcess.csv) that you are supposed to replace with the stock ones in /system/etc. When I try to adb push these files using for ex. adb push AudioFilter.csv /system/etc/AudioFilter.csv I get "failed to copy 'AudioFilter.csv' to '/etc/AudioFilter.csv': Directory not empty". This occurs even after adb remount. I also tried an adb shell session with similar results. Does anyone know how to replace files in the /system/etc or /etc directories? Or are there any other audio hacks working for 2.1 devices?
You will need to enable write permission to that directory as it is read only by default. Hope this helps.

How do I do that? I thought thats what adb remount did?
Merged with the thread you created last week for the same topic. Also moved it to General. Please take a moment to read the announcement I posted regarding the creation of duplicate threads.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
Mod: This is a development topic, not a general discussion. Thats why I created the thread in the development forum. Please let the users make these calls for themselves and move it back. The users are what this forum is all about, isnt it?

I thought you have to mount the system with
adb shell
mount /system
..and then you can read/write whatever you want and push and pull and rm and all that good stuff? I might be wrong, I'm still a noob
execute chmod o+w <directory>
ps. Dear Moderator, it's a strange subforum to be discussing changes to operating system files in "Aria General"
Posting or linking to the actual code changes you are trying to implement would maybe make this a legit dev thread.
As of now, it's a discussion of a mod, not a mod. Lots more could probably be moved from the dev area as well if the Aria forum is run like the others on XDA.
as far as how to implement; we don't have an engineering spl, so read write on an active system partition (phone up and running) is going to be unreliable at best - sometimes it works (when it really should not) and others it just doesn't.
We've had better luck modifying files on the system partition from adb within clockwork recovery after mounting /system under the partitions menu in clockwork.
Clockwork is really cool. If I were little piece of code, I'd want to be just like clockwork because it's just so damn sexy.
Thanks attn I'll give clockwork a shot. These 3 files are in two different places: /etc as well as /system/etc. Any idea why the etc directory seems to be redundant?
Hey I was curious if I could change the boot animation on my HTC hero I have tried the following and it still wont change am I pointing it at the wrong directory?
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
C:\AndriodSDK\tools>adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootscreen
failed to copy 'bootanimation.zip' to '/system/media/bootscreen/bootanimation.zi
p': Read-only file system
C:\AndriodSDK\tools>adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
815 KB/s (3553247 bytes in 4.253s)
None of these have worked I think I am putting them in the wrong spot because there can be only one correct place.
I couldnt find anything on the fourms about this and the google is full of boot animations but no one referring on where to put them.
HTC Hero Telus 2.1 (Official ROM? I have only used official roms from HTC, im kinda new to this... im trying!)
EDIT: I had checked out this thread > ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591091 ) (sorry not allowed links in case I turn into a spam bot) but I cant copy into that folder and I dont have a sprint logo to copy over anyways...
THats why im requesting your help! I dont know what to do or where to begin do I need to re-flash?

'adb remount' is required.
That's the error it tosses about a read only file system.
Also, is your phone rooted?
ADB Remount? unsure what that is, and no im about to finish rooting it now.
I must be horrible at using search because I didn't see that one. Reading it now.
Just tried the remount process seems easy enough I just didnt know what you were reffering too.
C:\AndriodSDK\tools>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted

Here is where im confused (as im new to this)
I followed a guid to rooting the HTC Telus Hero and I only did half of it as at the time I was trying to just get 2.1 on the phone as its not out in canada.
What I want to do is change the boot screen so I figure I need root access to the cell. (am I right?)
So I am trying to do that now (finish the root) but I dont need a custom rom right? Can I use the official one just with root access to change the boot screen?
I cant do an official one as I cant use it on my model apparently so I can you Villian12 on my Hero it looks cool but Im wondering is it worth ti for just boot animations. Like can I get root without a custom ROM?
yes, you can.
It's worth installing a custom rom though
I can't find any guide for rooting without installing a custom rom though :/
How would I go about doing that?
I want to collect the system images in case you must get back to stock.
Just do the following and upload your image.
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/system.img
perfect would be an nearly untouched build
IMAGES:
WIFI - US: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13427976&postcount=7
WIFI - EU: Had to remove my image because of Dropbox
I'm currently uploading one to my dropbox should be done in about an hour. I'll poist the url, or pm you should you prefer.
You may post it in public, of course - thx a lot
seraphimserapis you forgot to ask somthing from the people that upload...
plase add in the first post to add:

Stock?
How would one of these get me back to stock? I've got a corrupt file - so I am bootlooping after root. SU causes a seg fault, so I can't get root permission to remount & replace the busted files... anyone figure out getting to recovery yet?

Use this file http://db.tt/3hqvgP1 and push it to /data/local/tmp
Then run it via ./data/local/tmp/gb
You should be root afterwards and be able to fix permissions etc

borked system/bin us version 16gb
hi I borked my acer. root went smoothly, but then I made mistake of trying to enable adhoc supplicant. I downloaded es explorer and used remount to enable rewrite to system/bin. Now everything disappeared. It will still load, but wifi shows error.
How do I return to stock?

Thank you so much! I got stuck on the Android ! boot screen and couldn't get the OS to boot after stupidly screwing up permissions after I rooted. I downloaded your zip, renamed it to update.zip and loaded it on a microsd card. Then I put the card in, booted the tablet while holding volume down and recovery loaded the system image and I'm back in business. It did come with a few apps loaded into system I'm not familiar with including a few that weren't in English. Will a factory reset remove those, does anyone know?
Edit: This is also missing gapps including the market... You sure this is a US image?
no thats a chinese update u need to follow a link thats been post above urs a bit ago and follow the directions on how to add market to the nook color.

Thanks I found the info. And I bricked it again. Looks like it's getting exchanged at best buy tonight. I'm not going to try rooting again anytime soon.
tonight come in to the irc channel and talk to me. we will get u rooted but not bricked.

Hi and sorry for my poor english...
Could you explain how to put back a system.img backup in the tablet in case of a problem ?
Thanks a lot !
I don't know if that's possible while running the device. This will be good for the recovery tho

Hello everyone, Android newbie here. Got my Motorola Atrix today and I have a question about the Webtop over HDMI mod. Read a whole bunch of threads on here and managed to get my phone rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and installed CWM without too many issues, but I have no idea how to install this mod:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144119
I have the Android SDK installed but I have no idea how to use it. I tried looking for a step by step guide on how to install it but didn't have any luck. Hopefully someone here can provide an answer.
Thanks all.
Ok, I figured out (kinda) how to use adb. Unfortunately, on the first step where I type in 'adb push DockService.apk /sdcard/' I get "failed to copy DockService.apk to /sdcard//DockService.apk Read-only file system"
Help?
EDIT: Nevermind figured it out myself. SD card was mounted on PC instead of phone.
mount the file system as r/w. get root explorer, give it root and hit the mount filesystem as r/w. thats the fastest way for noobs
Is there a way to root the Streak 5 or install custom recovery without using USB connection? The USB charger port is broken so I am unable to connect through USB. I´ve tried to root the phone with GingerBreak and Z4Root without success. Maybe it´s possible to root the phone or flash recovery with Flash_image in Terminal Emulator but I am unable to find a guide to do so. Any help would be apreciated, I´ve searched the forums here but am unable to find the answer I´m looking for.
edit:
I´m on Android 2.2.2, 360 stock ROM, build 17397.
Well, if the answer you were looking for is "yes it can be done", then it's obvious why you haven't found the answer you were looking for.
You have to have a working port on the Streak to install CWM since installing a custom recovery requires being in the Streak's Fastboot mode. Rooting may be possible, but unlikely since you have to copy files to the \system directory, which isn't writable unless you've rooted using CWM to install the files or ADB to push them.
Short of finding an exploit to root with, he might(?) be able to by disassembling it and pushing root to /data/local and setting permissions with a pc.

ah.. i see... by taking out innerSD and manually push root into it.. it seems possible that way...
Rooting is ultimately getting SU somewhere runnable and changing it's permissions to 06755.
It just makes the most sense to place it in /system/xbin 99.95% of the time.
it seems the guy doesnt read the forum thorough enough.. because there is solution to it already..

Dont recall gingerbreak working on 350+ as dell pretty much patched everything.
I believe it works on 318 or thereabouts, but OP is on 360 he already stated it didnt work (but not which exact version of gingerbreak)
well.. at least he can try first... but it seems not possible is it?
Gingerbreak version 1.2 works on stock 351 but not on stock 360.

That sounds like a good idea since I have already cutted out for access to the internal SD card. What would be the best program for Windows 7 to push root to the SD card and change the permissions?
You would need to be able to read ext3 partitions and modify the file permissions.
I've never bothered trying under windows, the simplest way is to do it under linux.
You can install it in a VM if you wish, or you can try and figure out how to do it with additional software under windows.
Regardless you should try pushing su to /data/local/ and setting it's permissions to 06755 (rws--r-s-r-x).
If you get that far we'll continue from there
Would it be possible to get a repacked 360 stock ROM (apk or zip package) that is already rooted, and then install it on the Streak using the 360 stock recovery? Maybe that´s not possible because of the signature verification but I wonder if it would be possible. Then I would have to find someone with a rooted 360 ROM to make the package for me.

sorry to bust in. /data is mounted nosuid for a reason. Don't know whether this is so on the 360, but at least check ($ mount |grep /data) before you open your device and risk hardware damage.
