[Q] HELP !!! an error copy/paste message in android

hello,i am trying to copy a file that i got from another build and overwrite the same file found in this directory " system/lib " but i keep getting an error message saying " there was not enough free disk space to complete the paste operation ", i tried to delete the original file then paste the new one but i get the same error message, i am using Root explorer to do this, it shows (216.45MB used, 1.07MB free, r/w ) on the " system/lib " folder, is there anyway for me to copy that file to this directory because i really need to, thank you
p.s: i used to do the same thing with other android builds but after switching to darkstone froyo v2 i started having this problem, and i need this file to get the arabic letters on my device to appear connected and not separated, any help is appreciated, thanks again

[Q] Installation of applications from PC to Xperia X10

Help me to install games in my xperia x10 from PC as i cant access mobile internet.

Either use adb from the android SDK or copy the files to your sdcard and then use a file manager from the market that can install apk files!

I copied in my phones others folder and went to office suite to check the copied file . apk. but unable to c any copied files whsat may be the reason.
hope u can give me a solution.

use androidcommander, its really nice and simple gui.

Office suite only displays files it can open. It does not know what to do with a apk file. Download a file manager from the market

system notifications

I see my system notifications are stored in /system/media/notifications but even with root Im not able to drop a new file withing this directory. I would like to do this because Handcent doesnt give me the option to select a different directory.
Any suggestions on either dropping a new sound file in the /system/media dir or using a custom sound file for Handcent?
Thanks

You should be able to put something in /sdcard/media/notifications

You have to mount system with root explorer, ADB, etc. It's read only by default.

I've tried a root file manager without success. Is it possible to change the directory permissions using ADB?

If you use root explorer, there is a little button in the upper right that toggles read write permissions.

Sweet
For the next person, I can confirm this does work, you just need to make sure the permissions are correctly set on each file and the phone (or SMS) app needs to be restarted to take effect.
Thanks everyone.
P.S. I hope you guys get a commission!

Rooting Prob. Cant copy Gfree files to/data/local

Hi,
Ive been trying to root my MT4G trhu this: (Gfree method)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995549
And on the step 6, where I have to copy the files unziped to /data/local:
1st-. I have the "/data/" But LOCAL doesnt exis,t. And i cant create a new folder.
2nd-. It does not let me copy anything INSIDE THE PHONE. all it says is "that Cant be copied."
Any suggestion!?

It wont show the files for you because your probably using astro file manager. You have to use Root Explorer. This program shows the data/local file. I'll PM you.

You don't have the root access enabled in File Expert. Go into its settings to enable.

(Request) stock systemui and odex from mf3

Install a transparent notification bar, forgot to keep a copy of the original sysmui. Now i have no status bar and a black baground. If anyone can copy it from their phone, i really appreciated. Im on a active with mf3. Thanks

Could you go into a little detail on what happened and what you have done to try to fix it? I don't understand what your saying.

I think he wants the systemUI.apk for the active because he fubar'd his.

Any ideas where to get that? I don't even think that will install without flashing, but can't flash on MF3 yet.

You can copy the file from root explorer without flashing. I was able to get a copy of the systemui and place it into the sys/app folder. Now everything is back to normal.

Got it from a friend who just picked up a s4 active.

So you just copied the apk off his phone I'm assuming? I'm also assuming it's the same apk as the regular S4? (I'm just trying to get better knowledge so I can help somebody in the future.)

As the other person replied - with root access, you can download ES File Explorer, or Root Browser, give the app root access via SuperSU, navigate to the System > apps folder, find the file(s) you want, copy/move them where you need.

Yeah I'm well aware you can do that but I didn't know that apk would actually function like an apk if you did that. Just thought it was more to it than that.

As long as you have the appropriate odex file along with it and you know how to do it - it should be fine. You have to know how an APK file works, Applications are basically glorified ZIP archives. The java code is stored in a file called classes.dex and this file is parsed by the Dalvik JVM and a cache of the processed classes.dex file is stored in the phone's Dalvik cache.
An odex is basically a pre-processed version of an application's classes.dex that is execution-ready for Dalvik. When an application is odexed, the classes.dex is removed from the APK archive and it does not write anything to the Dalvik cache. An application that is not odexed ends up with 2 copies of the classes.dex file--the packaged one in the APK, and the processed one in the Dalvik cache. It also takes a little longer to launch the first time since Dalvik has to extract and process the classes.dex file.
If you are building a custom ROM, it's a really good idea to odex both your framework JAR files and the stock apps in order to maximize the internal storage space for user-installed apps. If you want to theme, then simply deodex -> apply your theme -> reodex -> release.
