Sorry if this has been mentioned before (I did search before posting), but there are a few widgets from the other Galaxy S phones that are rather nice, the weather clock in particular. I know there is a Fascinate dump out there, but can I just extract the apk and install it, or is there something else that I need to do. Any help is appreciated.

Download the firmware that has those widgets and pull the apks and install them on your firmware of choice
If anyone does this post it please, if you link a how to ill do it.
Well, i pulled the APK's out of the ROM, but I'm not able to install them. I'm really new at this, so forgive me for the ignorance. there are ODEX files that accompany the apks...do i have to do something with those on order to install the widgets?
you'll need to use adb shell once you copy the files to a location on your internal sd card
you'll need to mount system as r/w first so do this, so:
adb shell
su (your device needs to be awake and unlocked so you can verify the SU request)
mount -o remount rw /system
cp /sdcard/xxxx.odex /system/app
cp /sdcard/xxxx.apk /system/app
reboot
the reboot is just for good measure. i've used this technique to get apps onto the phone, but as usual YMMV. If you post up the apk and odex files as a zip i'll give them a shot.

Do you have o remount /system as read only or will the reboot do that?

What kind of cool stuff do they have?
Do tell!!
I had asked about putting the Samsung Touchwiz widgets on if using Launcher Pro. Was told no.
Would this method allow that for them?
Well, I've uploaded the files to Rapidshare, but thanks to the restrictions on my noob account, I can't link to the files.

OK, major problem.
I copied the ODEX and APK's to the System/App folder and rebooted...now my phone will get stuck at the "Galaxy S" logo page and the display stops working. connecting via USB to the computer allows me to access the system via ADB, but I can't get the display running. What's the command in ADB to remove the files I just copied over?
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/st19 /system
rm /system/app/[name of widget file].*

Thanks for that info. Phone is back to normal. Now, back to the topic at hand. Anyone had success at getting these widgets working on the Captivate?

OK... so I am trying to get the Internet up and running for this Samsung Epic. I almost have it down, but there is something that I know is wrong from the other Android phones that I have flashed before.
For Metropcs internet to work we have to install a script: u2nl and autostart file.
Here is my problem: I can put the autostart file into the data/opt folder, but when I try and paste the u2nls file into /system/bin it tells me that it is only a read only....
Now when I try in commond prompt and I try and do adb remount it now tells me No such file or directory or remount failed.
If I can get that u2nl file to stick in there I know I will be good to go.
I dont know much about adb commands, so here is what I did:
I plugged phone in on charge only mode. USB debug is checked.
cd c:\android\tools
adb remount **wont work either...it will fail, which probably why I cant write into the system/bin file.
adb push c:\autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
adb push c:\android\tools\u2nl /system/bin/u2nl **wont work
Adb shell
su
chmod 0755 /system/bin/u2nl **gives me an error
chmod 0755 /data/opt/autostart.sh
Please help!!!!!
Thanks.
I have one bad and one good news for you
First the good one...
Reboot into clockwork recovery and mount /system...retry
Bad news...
That method or the anycut method does not work...I already spent 2 days trying so many settings and it just doesn't work.
Do u have mms working?

My MMS does not work since my Internet does not work.
There are people that have gotten this to work on Metro already with everything at my local metro shop in CA.
I am pretty sure once I get this u2nl file to stick, it will work. The 3G arrows starts up and then it seems like it will start to run the autostart script and then errors out.
Let me try what you said and I am also going to try another rom.
under clockwork recovery which mount do I do? mount /sd-ext
What is suppose to be mounted and unmounted?
it says: unmount /system **meaning its already mounted right?
if its says unmount /system..its already mounted
just go to cmd and
adb remount
adb push c:\android\tools\u2nl /system/bin/u2nl
ect..ect..
if the remount doesnt work..download busybox installer and update busybox to the latest version and retry
autostart\u2nl its not required to be able download\send mms..you need to have the right apn settings and the 3g arrows dancing lol,,
ok so when I hit adb remount it says "remount failed: No such file or directory
I downloaded the busybox, when I open it it says:
Busybox 1.17.1 is what I have in phone
Busybox 1.18.0 git (unofficial) I can download
Below that it says where do I want to install busybox:
/system/xbin/ or /sbin/
Where do I install and should I install that unofficial version?

should be /system/bin (no x or s before bin)
1.17.1 is fine
try again if that doesnt work..in clockwork recovery try this
adb shell
su
remount rw
exit
exit
and try again..im running out of options here..lol
hey did it work? how is it going with full flash?
also make sure you root with the new zip version..some previous versions dont have the remount scripts
adb commands
u2nl does not need to be run in /system/bin. just edit the autostart.sh to reflect your location change. if u insist on running from /system/bin, then do this
adb shell
su
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit
then push u2nl to /system/bin
Thanks buddy it looks like it worked....
Now I have the data arrows showing but something is not kicking in yet. I think I am missing something. I changed all the right settings on Qpst have the right passwords now (msl - whiterabbit.org) all files in the right place.
I have done this on Eris full flash, evo full flash, incredible full flash, but this Epic is driving me nuts...
kinda stuck right now.
Lol and now we are 2 stuck in the same place. I had flash tons of droids, evos, but this epic is making me going nuts..I don't know what's going on either..I had seen epics on cricket full flashed with no problem..but seems samsungs don't like metropcs' proxy

What rom r u using bro? Maybe the epic rom I'm using desnt support iptables for some reason..
I'm going to try another rom tomorrow.. either way keep me updated as well.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
stock (rooted of coutse) with the iptables file in the bin folder . that used to work in my old droid, just set the correct permissions, andromeda v1.1.x, mixupkernel DI18-voodoo, and epic experience (dont remember which version) and none worked
I have some ultrasecret info..lol..supposedly the normal autostart.sh file does not work with samsungs, there is different modified version for the moment and the fascinate but i cant find it
i cant test this anymore cus i dont have metro but thanks to chimstar in the mo-fi forum, dial ##3282# go to edit mmsc url, type your msl, and edit the mmsc server to the metropcs one
if that doesnt work, download the apn back and restore app, delete all apns and restore metropcs working, if you dont have one, edit the xlm file to match all the correct info
make sure you reboot
see if that gets your mms working..i didnt need to have the autostart method running for my droid to get mms
And now my tab only does a boot loop. I cant copy the stock one back over with ADB keeps giving me permission denied. I've tried everything. Any ideas? The only thing done to my tab is the clubtech flashing method to make phone calls, and its rooted, but I cant get shell root
Help
Put it on an sdcard (I'm sure you have other android phones to mount it with, or use ADB if the tab has it mounted)
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/external_sd/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
reboot
That should do it. I assume in this that framework-res.apk is on the external SD card, and that the US tab mounts it in the same place. You could aslo use adb to push framework-res.apk to /data/framework-res.apk, and copy it from there.
My problem is that I wasn't getting root in the adb shell, managed to fix that and pushed the framework to the system booted just fine. Thanks man

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010568
i've followed this thread all the way, but always get stuck at the fastboot flash boot boot.img . (file taken from xoom root zip) once it has completed i do the reboot from ADB, and i am stuck at the dual core technology screen. If i flash the US MX604 boot.img it lets me boot but wifi is fubar'd. If I use the canadian files it stays stuck on dual core screen.
Has anyone encountered this at all? its starting to be quite annoying and through all the threads i have gone through nothing points me to the same issue or a good fix for it. I can see people using tiamat 1.4 boot.img but can't seem to get my hands on that file.
I did not post this in the dev because i'm a lurker and have not been posting much.
Merci!

Motorola Xoom, getting me angry
so I was able to flash tiamat 1.4.0 boot.img, still cant write files to any folder in /system, and now my wifi is fubar'd
done!
ran these 2 commands in adb shell
# mount -o rw,remount /system
# CHMOD 777 /SYSTEM
and was able to write to /system after, with the boot.img from tiamat 1.4.0 and wifi is working.
I would not change the permissions to 777 on /system
You will need to do "adb remount" and then push the superuser files to /system.
whats should i change it too, befor changing it to 777 it would not let me push to any folders under /system because write was off, and if I only did # mount -o rw,remount /system , it still would not turn on..
Hey guys,
I have a Moto G5+ XT1687 that I'm messing with. I've rooted this sucker, TWRW recovery & Magisk are installed on the stock ROM and the phone does appear to have root as I'm able to log into the shell with root permissions, but I still cannot get the /system and /app folders to remount as r/w regardless of what I try.
So far I've had the same issues with Root Explorer, FX File Manager, Shell commands via ADB and terminal emulators. I'm still somewhat new to working with these, so hopefully there's a quick fix for it. Any assistance would be much appreciated!
