Installed Modules copied over at 0k??

So i have upgraded to the new r11 zimage and tried to install the latest modules but only some have copied over as others have copied but at 0k??
there are nine that will not copy over
Any ideas?

Enough free space?

Did you copy it using Android's USB mode? That tends to corrupt files, for installing modules I use Android Commander.

Yea plenty of free space others have copied fine. It's copying the file over but its empty 0k I'm using a root explorer to copy over as there are a few files to copy with this update

nope
still no joy, the only thing i can think of is the android file system has become corrupt?
android is working still so ill just wait for a build with the latest kernal

your trying to copy the files without root privileges.
in the term the first thing you need to do is type su
that will change the $ to a #
then copy the files.
cp /sdcard/*.ko /system/lib/modules

I shall try that but I wonder why some went over then but others did not
Thank you

[Q] Need help reinstalling stock Twitter app

Okay, I rooted my N1 with Universal Androot and removed the stock Froyo Twitter app without backing it up. (Shame on me.) Now, I can't update to 2.2.1 because of it (a status 7 error complaining about not finding /system/app/Twitter.apk)
I have, at the advice of some other forum posts I've read, installed Twitter from Android Market and backed it up to the sd. Renamed it Twitter.apk and used the Terminal Emulator to copy it to /system/app. That worked and the file is there, but the update still will not apply. Do I also need a .odex file? Is there any way to update at this point?
Any help would be super appreciated. THANKS!

if this is the new twitter app would you be kindly enough to share it..lol

grab it from an older update like from frf91 update.. then do adb push /system/app
if you cant do that...
put the twitter app in sdcard then go to terminal and do
cp /sdcard/twitter /system/app
reboot then apply it.. i had trouble with amazon and i did it that way and it worked well

That's exactly what I did. It didn't work.
I'd love to pull the app from a FRF91 build but I have no idea how that's done.

It looks as though I can't flash the GAPPS without unlocking the bootloader and installing a new recovery, correct? I'm really not that motivated if that's the case. I appreciate the information.

OK, just download the GAPPS, then use something like estrongs file manager to unzip to a folder of choice (with estrongs, longpress and select extract).
The Twitter apk will be in the extract folder/system/app. Just click the apk to install...

BTW, if you have root, you may as well install a custom recovery (without touching the bootloader).
Easy way with ROM Manager (has Clockworkmod and Amon-Ra), or use adb if you wanna learn something...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Thanks for the tips. I'll check it out tomorrow when I can make a data transfer. I am doubtful that installing from the zip will solve much since I already loaded the app and its already in the system folder.
could someone verify whether or not the Twitter app has a corresponding odex file that I might need?

I ran into the same problem when I removed Amazon Mp3, but I was impatient so I ended up reflashing the stock rom and then updating.

There is a thread that has all n1 updates look for it and download froyo fr91 update then unzip it go to system app and look for twitter apk then put in sdcard and do commands again .. I tried to do with market twitter and it failed so I did it the way I'm explained andnworkd

You sir, have saved my life. I swear I used that same exact Twitter.apk but I must not have. I used 3 different apks all with the same result but the one in the zip I found somewhere in this forum worked perfectly. I appreciate all the help and feel like such a 'tard for not trying something so seemingly simple earlier.

[Q] Need help deleting APKs PERMANENTLY

Im looking for ways to do it directly from the phone. Ive tried apps from the market(these only temporarily uninstall until next reboot). Ive tried Root Explorer and deleting from the system apps file(says read only file can't be deleted).
i need help. im hoping a custom ROM wont have to be cooked, i would really like to do it from the phone. Because straight up, i dont know how to do it. If someone out there does, im definitley willing to pay all i want is my stock glacier rom minus these apps:
amazonmp3.apk
AppPack.apk
Asphalt5.apk
com.htc.StockWidget.apk
DockPanel.apk
HTCSetupWizard.apk (not sure if safe)
Monopoly_Classic.apk
rockband.apk
SelfHelp.apk
Stock.apk
TMOUS_myTouchdemo.apk
Yahoo_im.apk
Yahoo_imvideo.apk
yahoo_mail.apk
and also if someone knows the file name for the NEWS and NEWS WIDGET, im unsure of the .apk name

I use SU file explorer as my root explorer app. if you press menu, there will usually be an option that says "mount system as r/w", that will give you the ability to delete from the system/app folder.

sounds like he's not rooted fellas

Please post questions in Q&A section.

Install titanium for root the free version. Click problems, download the busy box update (itz necessary) go to the app you don't want and just click uninstall. Will delete permanently if you are perm rooted. To get perm root, type in visionary apk r14 in google search bar, go to the 2nd link and download visionary, then click temp root, and after that is done click on perm root. Finished if you are not rooted, download visionary first, when you open up titanium backup, it will say asking for superuser permission click on allow

just tried it. rebooted, came right back.

I removed my unwanted apps using adb after trying Root Explorer and not being able to mount system/app as R/W. Way easy.

Deactivate the screenshot button

Hello dear Samsung Tab Lovers ;-)
I have a question for the touchwhiz firmware of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Can someone tell me how to deactivate the screenshot button in the task bar?
I just hate this button cause I always accidently press it.
Is there a way to get ride of it??

You can get titanium backup free in the market. It will allow you to uninstall screencapture. You need root for it as well as for root explorer.

Thanks for the suggestion and I can stop those stupid screen capture !

You don't need to uninstall it with Titanium Backup, just freeze it. I have no idea what mad scientist at Samsung thought there was the dying need to make screenshotting an ever-present feature button.

paradoxni said:

It can be done using adb.
I'm assuming that the system apps are located in /system/app/ like my phone (I don't have a tab yet, though hopefully I will soon).
If that is true then a
Code:
adb rm /system/app/screencaptureservice.apk
should remove it. I have an inkling that there might be some capital letters in there (Like I said, I dont have the tab so I cant check), if the above code gives you an error about the file not being found type
Code:
adb ls /system/app/
which will show you the list of all files in /system/app/ and change part of the first code to reflect any capital letters.
I would suggest not deleting the file but renaming it or moving it somewhere (so it can be restored afterwards. Both are done with the same command mv (short for move)
The following code would rename the file and add renamed to the beginning:
Code:
adb mv /system/app/screencaptureservice.apk /system/app/renamedscreencaptureservice.apk
Or alternatively:
Code:
adb shell
cd /system/app/
mv screencaptureservice.apk renamedscreencaptureservice.apk
Whether renaming/moving or deleting I suggest rebooting after completing the task.

This will be great for my not-so-tech parents Tab, they would be so confused by the false "screenshot" screen if they would be pressing this endlessly.

Worked great thanks, don't know why this button exists.

Overly complicated since there's a setting in (ICS) it to change it: Settings -> Display -> Quick launch.

On my ICS rom which is based on the stock touchwiz, in settings>display>quick launch. You should be able to change what the button does or to remove it completely. Hope this helps if you have the same options.

Help installing CM9 music player

I really like the CM9 player but I'm having trouble installing it. I followed a guide that said back up music.apk then delete it with root browser, then install CM9 music player. It worked, it successfully installed but I just used it and halfway thru one song my phone froze. I did a battery pull, when it rebooted, it said "sorry, music has stopped working" and it says that every time. Someone help?

Could I just use Titanium Backup to force remove, without backing it up, and then installing CM9??

Cm9 is an entire ROM. If you want that, boot into recovery and format system and data, and then wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then you'll have a clean slate to install the ROM onto.
If you want just the music player, yes you can use titanium to uninstall then try putting the music player in system/app changing the permissions to rw, r, r, installing and rebooting.

I use root explorer, but you can use terminal emulator as well. If you can't afford Root Explorer, I'd suggest you hook, steal or kill to get the money. Totally worth it.
Anyway, using Terminal Emulator, type in these lines and hit "return" between each:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /system/app
chmod 644 Music.apk
There are alternate, shorter methods, but this one is fun.

I used jrummy root explorer lite and I just replaced the file with the cm one and renamed it to music.apk after that I set permissions rebooted and set permission on cwm and it was working perfectly though I don't use it (stock ics player is awesome) it works just fine.

So you didn't force remove the stock music app? you just replaced it and renamed it? then set permissions like the reply above and then again on cwm?

Setting permissions on both seems a little redundant one or the other should suffice.
