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...

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
[SOLVED]

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.

No problem man.. glad you got it working.. now reroot the phone and back up all the apps from then phone.. doin adb pull /system/app
Does anyone know how to get Clockwork Recovery on the Xoom so I can flash .zip's? And make nandroid backups. Thx in advance.
Koush is not going to release it until the sdcard works. Making backups to the internal memory is pointless and flashing from internal memory to internal memory is not a great solution at the moment.

Damn....while agree that making a backup to the internal memory is pointless I just wanted to flash a .zip so that I can get a live wallpaper working. But thanks for the answer.

you dont need to use 'install' zip to install things in the zip, generally flashing zips just cp src dst... take apart the zip, find the updater-script and see if you can just do those steps manually via adb shell (or adb hell if you're feeling evil)
backup to nfs share? smb share? .. would be even nicer
cifs/nfs backup sounds like a project... time to checkout the cwm source!
removed. I had incorrect information.

Koush's website indicates that it is now possible to install Zip's directly from ROM manager without having the recovery installed. I'm not sure if this appies to Xoom, however I dont see why not (if you are rooted)
ROM manager does "run: on Xoom.

This is taken a bit out of context I believe. Koush was stating that you no longer need CWM to do the flashes. He's implemented code that will allow ROM Manager to reboot into other custom recovery mods to do the flashing. At this point though, you still need the recovery mod developer to enable the functionality.
Yep, I think you are correct.
I edited services.jar that came with the newest Gingerbread 4.5.588 deodexed system to disable data throttling.
Tested and works, though you may want to make a backup of your services.jar file first. I take no responsibility if you screw up your phone
(Make sure you're running deodexed system)
Instructions:
1. Place zip file in root of sdcard.
2. Boot into clockwork.
3. Install zip from sdcard.
4. Choose the zip on your card.
5. Reboot.
Note: You MAY have to mount system first. I know in the past people have ran into that problem. I personally did not have to mount system.
Enjoy!
This does not work ....
It absolutely does work. Feel free to decompile the .dex file yourself to see if the throttling files are still intact and compare it against the .dex decompile of stock. Or maybe you could post WHY you think it doesnt work instead of just stating that it doesnt.

Were you trying to flash it in recovery? If so then it will not work. There are also two other ways to do this. You can extract the file and replace your services.jar file in root explorer or you could use the commands provided (without the adb) in the app terminal emulator.
To the developer, thank you for making this but if someone says it doesn't work, you do not need to get mad at them. That will keep others away from downloading your files
No I followed the directions step by step and i replaced it via Root Explorer restarted and all it does is do a large freezeup. I tried this twice and all you get is a freezeup on restart. In return all I got out of this is a SBF Flash twice back to 4.5 and deodoxed again -.-
Im not mad in the slightest. Im here to help. Unfortunately its very hard to help with so little details. "It doesnt work" doesnt help everyone else.
Now, Im not sure whats going on with his particular issues, but I can guarantee it does work. Im running it now on my own personal device and have tested it on 3 other Droid X's running 4.5.588 deodexed. The services.jar file came straight from P3Droid's deodexed update.zip. The throttling files were removed and I packaged up the file.
To the person having issues: are you absolutely sure youre deodexed? Are you using P3Droid's deodexed update? Did you attempt using the adb commands and if so did you receive any errors? I will say, I have not tried this with root explorer so I cant predict the outcome, though it shouldn't work any differently than adb.

Ive never made an update.zip file before, but maybe Ill look into packaging it that way and see if he can have any luck with that.
Edit: Just packaged it into flashable zip. See first post.

Yes I used p3droids new deodexed for 4.5.588 then applied the services.jar in the framework folder did a restart and got big freeze. I haven't got a chance to do the adb push ... I will try that when I get home tonight.
Thanks GC14 for this!!! I am still on the original GB deodex rooted leak. Do you have, or is there an uncapped data service.jar for that release? thanks
Im not sure, but I can just patch that one too and upload it if you want.

If you don't mind that would be awesome.

P3droid recently posted a fix for his deodexed leak that fixed fc issues by making it slightly oxdexed and slightly deodexed, will this work with it?
Depends if services.jar is odexed or deodexed. Open up his new build and check to see if services.odex and services.jar are both inside /system/framework. That would mean it's odexed.
does the OS need to be deodexed for uncapped mod to work?
Did you use Clockwork for DX or D2? I have Clockwork for DX installed but can never boot into it.
Disable USB Debugging and then try DX Clockwork.
Is there a way to get this on the oxed .591 GB leak? PLEEEASE

I have rom mgr premium installed and i have tried flashing from there although it says it has successfully when I get into bootloader its another story. I have tried terminal emulater, putting the pc36img.zip on my sd card and nothing seems to work. when in bootloader and it tries to install the pc36 zip it says wrong file or no image. I need some help here. Im running cm7.0.3.1 and it runs very smooth. But this recovery issue is on my last nerve! Help please......
OK, you just need a pc36img.zip recovery file. I say use Amon Ra.
Make sure it;s named PC36IMG.ZIP just like I wrote it.
Put it on the root of your SDCard, boot up, holding volume down and power button at the same time.
NOW it will find the pc36img file and flash your recovery.
It doesnt recognize the zip file! I have tried that several times and I keep getting the same response. No image or wrong image!!! I dont understand why!!!
Hey guy,,is your bootloader S-off?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Yes.... S-off
Try this,,,place your PC36IMG,zip on root of SD,,not in any folders,,then see if it will flash in hboot,,make sure it is named exactly as stated,,if using a Windows pc,,leave off the ,zip ext,,

root of sd?
I just want to be sure here.. I have root explorer on my phone. This is what I have been doing with the pc36img.zip file. I download from media fire with my phone, then I go into root explorer, click on SD card, download folder then I look for the zip I just downloaded. Then I copy the zip and paste it in a folder called root. Does that sound correct? Here is a screen shot(I hope)
Don't place in any folders,,,that's the mistake,,root explorer,download folder,copy pc36ing,hit back button 1 time,then paste,,boot into bootloader,hboot will find it,just follow onscreen instructions,,hope this helps,,
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I'm not seeing the boot folder??????
I see a folder called bootanims?? Is that it?
Dude, by ROOT FOLDER, that means not in ANY folders on your SDCard. Just put it on the card itself. The path needs to be /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip and the way I have it capitalized is how it MUST be.
Also, make sure with root explorer that it doesn't say PC36IMG.zip.zip
No,,go to the pc36img,,the one you downloaded,,copy,now hit back once,paste pc36img here,.now back out of root explorer,,,power phone off,,,hold volume down and hold power button till bootloader screen turns on,,it will find ing file and ask if you want to update,,volume up for yes,,let it flash,,then it will ask for reboot,,volume down for no,,press volume down 1 time,,then press power,,will now load into recovery

as far as i remember, CWM will be removed each time you restart your phone,unles you have a custom kernel/rom.
but its been long time ago when i did that x3
If stock there is a file that needs to be removed or renamed,

No. You merely need to rename / remove the install-recovery.sh script in /etc to prevent the stock recovery from writing at boot.

Yeah, restoring the file will then cause the stock recovery to be written upon reboot (if you want to go back to the stock recovery for some reason).
same but i solved it
clockworkmodrecovery rom manager find and install
open it and touch flash clockworkmod recovery(first item)
select reboot into recovery manual
mount and storage select
mount USB storage
unmount
++++ go back +++++
install from zip sdcard
find
'' super user.zip'' flash
reboot
es file explorer select setting mark root explorer and mount file system after
select phone in file explorer find etc folder select and find ''install-recovery.sh'' file and rename file for example ''install-recovery.sheski'' and
open rom manager again touch flash clockworkmod recovery(first item)
check it...
