[Think Tank] Installing Non-market apps without a custom ROM or ADB

OK, I made a zip. Who wants to be my guinea pig? It's at the bottom of the post. (erase -signed and put it on the internal sd)

I guess my idea would be to take the settings.apk from either the Vibrant dump or cyanogenmod 5.0 and push it to /system/app or wherever the settings.apk is located. Does anyone think that this would work or be willing to try it? I'm just worried that this will brick the touchwiz, and without an "original ROM" or RUU and custom recovery, I'm afraid to try it. Is there anyone braver than me?

The thing is, root explorer isn't free. I want to give people an easy, free solution (maybe flashing something from recovery?). For now, ADB will work for me, but in the future I want to provide something flashable from recovery.

Well, the best thing to do, simply run a sql command along with the rooting update.zip.
I will work on this today and get back to you guys soon.

It isn't free but it isn't expensive either. You just dropped a large wad of cash for the phone, seems like another $3 to get it the way you want it wouldn't be such a big deal.

Droid Explorer is.

I'm an android noob but experienced linux user, so I came up with my own free solution: download a terminal emulator app (the one i got was free, and called, simply, Terminal Emulator, I think).
Then (in the terminal emulator):
Copy the settings.db file to the SD card:
To get superuser access so you can get to the settings.db file (need a rooted phone, obv):
Code:
$su
And confirm the popup allowing access.
Code:
#busybox cp /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db /sdcard/settings.db
Then hook up your phone via USB (mass storage method) and use your window manager to copy that from the phone to the computer, edit with an SQL database browser, save it, verify it's still good, move it back to the SD card, then, back on the phone in the terminal emulator:
To get superuser access again:
Code:
$su
Shouldn't have to confirm the popup allowing access again, as the first time appears to do it.
Move the original file to a backup name (just to be safe):
Code:
#busybox mv /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db.old
Copy the new (edited) file into place:
Code:
#busybox cp /sdcard/settings.db /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db
Then reboot, and enjoy the ability to install non-market apps. My first install was Flash 10.1. Works fine on the Captivate.

bump a year old thread? with these no less....

whats wrong with bumping a (insert # here) old thread? it hasnt been closed or deleted. as long as info pertaining to the OP is being posted shouldnt it be a non-issue? now if it was bumped with something like 'why bump this fossil thread?' then that would be a pointless bump. i gained info from the 1 year late post about superoneclick and thanked the guy for posting it.
EDIT: you spelled 'facepalm' wrong.

Well first it shouldn't even be here in development. And second thread closed.

[Q] I cant get permroot can someone please help ???

Ok people I'm pathetic.... I rooted using visionary installed titanium backup pro, astro, terminal emulator. I downloaded the root.rar files and put them onto the sd card. Unhooked my phone opened terminal typed su+enter but when I tried the sec command it wouldn't work I then went back into astro and h_boot and wpx are white in color and when I press on one of them it says file type ko not found. Can someone please please help me!!!! Do I have to have adb installed in order for the root.rar files to be found . Thank u very m much in advance. And if this is not the correct place to post this at let me know and I will move it thank u

Check out mackesters channel on YouTube he's got a good tutorial

Hey, you probably done all this... But thought I'd give a crack at it...
When trying to root using visionary
Quickly check these:
-did you have fastboot from >settings>applications turned off?
-was Set system r/w after root from visionary app checked?
-Temproot first
-Attempt permroot next
-Phone should reboot and you should see Super User app in the drawer.
Then follow the instructions here
If you wish to use root explorer to push the gfree file to /data/local you can do so too, its easier than adb commands.
Hope this helps. Good luck man.

Please post questions in the Q&A section.

Use root file explorer not Astro, check my signature. Also you said you downloaded the root.rar and placed it on sd, did you unzip it first?

Fastboot was off rw on. I don't know if I unzipped root.rar or not all I did was download it right click on it extracted to F drive moved to sd and in terminal is said not found our something when I entered the sec command.i did a factory reset so I'm starting fresh. What did I do wrong ? Thank u awesome people in advance

You sure you put the right file? Coz there are two gfree files...

I guess I used the right one but it says ko file not found or sh file not found etc so I don't know what I'm doing wrong its driving me insane it shouldn't be this hard. Thanks for everyone help I'm still trying and will not give up lol

Are you doing this in the phone or thru a pc via adb? If adb also copy the files from root.rar to sdk/tools then adb will see them

[Q] .sh script help

Hey guys, need some help with this one from some of you with more android/linux experience than me.
In my continuing quest to make Blackhole as customizable as possible I've been working on a way for users to easily install paid apps (legally downloaded of course), and stuff that I don't have available in rom manager in one easy step at the same time the rom is installed. In pursuit of this goal I've found that it's possible for the update-script file inside a clockworkmod zip to call a script in the zip as well. I've gotten it to say it's run the script, but it doesn't do what it's supposed to. here's what i've got:
#! /bin/
busybox cp /sdcard/app/* /system/app/
When I type the command into a terminal on the phone it works. When I open an adb shell and type "bash install.sh" it works. But when I get the update.zip to run the script, or run it in root explorer it just says it's run it, but doesn't do anything.
Is there something I'm missing about how to call the script? Do I need to somehow add the bash program to the zip file so it can run the script right? Has anyone ever done something like this who can point me in the right direction?

do you have an output you can show us?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

This is a shot in the dark but does writing to /system/app require root permissions? It could be that you've given your terminal app root, so it runs under su. But when the script is being executed it does not have root and fails, but perhaps the output is being held back a bit and you're not seeing the permission denied.

Steve_ ?!
whoa, didn't expect it to be you of all people
Anyhoo, this is a bit off topic, but I've got a small request, can you somehow make BlackHole 2.4 an option on Rom manager? I don't have DL09 so I can't use 3.0, but I really like the ability to select everything to customize, instead of me going and installing one thing at a time....

Why not just add the following to the end of the update-script:
Code:
copy_dir /sdcard/app SYSTEM:
Also, is the SDCard mounted by default when the phone boots to recovery? If it isn't, or it isn't mounted while the update is processing, that will also cause the problem.

Haha, caught me. I was trying to remain incognito Yeah, i'll get 2.4 loaded back up on rom manager for you today. But if you flash 3.0 it will upgrade you to DL09 and the DJ05 kernels and modem are compatible, or at least no one i know of has had issues.

sdcard is mounted when you go to recovery, because it's got to access the update.zip file on it to install anything. I'll try your code, do you know what to put after SYSTEM: to make it go to the /app directory? thanks for the idea, it's a different way to go, i didn't think about the fact the update-script could access the device if you don't use the "package" tag.

Don't you need to add "sh" to the bin directory and define the script as so:
#! /bin/sh
if you want it to execute properly..

normally yes, but there doesn't seem to be a /bin/sh directory on my fascinate, only /bin and that's where the cp and mv and cat, etc. are.

I made a script to do this forever ago on my G1 when it first came out... Let me see if I can find it.

This has been done lots of times before. If you look around on xda there are some backup scripts which do the same thing.

Well I gave that a shot, and i think it could work, but the recovery wouldnt do it. it says "non-package source path not yet supported" good idea tho.

Thats not the point. You need to set a shell interpreter, not a path. Cwm uses busybox sh, which is in /bin in recovery mode. Google search shebang

[Q] How to delete PUSHED files from "/sdcard/"

Hello, so I've done some light searching, but can't seem to find the answer to my question.
I've just finished installing a custom ROM to my Nexus 4, and in doing so, I pushed a few files to my phone via ADB
(ADB PUSH FILENAME.ZIP /SDCARD/FILENAME.ZIP) and am now wondering how to REMOVE these files that I no longer need.
When I am in recovery and select "install from zip" obviously, I am able to see the files, as that is how I installed them. However!
I can not view them via MTP (not that I've ever had much success with MTP) nor using ASTRO or File Manager.
Where are these files truly located and how can I delete them?
Ideally, I would like to learn how to view this directory, but would be happy enough just to know which ADB commands would list these files
and which commands will allow me to remove them one by one.
Thank you
*ISSUE RESOLVED*
After looking within CWM as to where sdcard contents were being sourced "/data/media"
I rebooted the phone, and attempted to locate this directory within File Manager with no luck....at which point, I realized that File Manager didn't have root privileges.
After giving root privileges to File Manager, I was able to navigate to /data/media and locate the pushed files and remove them.

If I were you I'd use adb shell and then the Linux remove command
That means:
Code:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/
rm - r FILENAME.zip
That's it, hope it works
Sent from my Nexus 4 running Android 4.3

Thank you for your reply! The only issue I have with that method, is not necessarily knowing the file names...
I would assume there are quite a few files within this directory, given that this isn't the first ROM I've installed.
I'd really like to be able to view the contents of the true location. Does anyone happen to know where it is on the Nexus 4 that CWM
is looking for the zip files? I would assume that this would tell where the files are located, and perhaps I could point an explorer to it.
What was puzzling was that searching the entire phone for "gapps" in ASTRO yielded no results.... as I am certain more than one of the zips I have pushed contain this within their file name.

if you successfully pushed the files to /sdcard/, then thats where they should be, they cant be anywhere else. make sure that you arent looking in/sdcard/download/. what file explorer are you using btw? use a root file explorer(like root explorer), not a regular file explorer.

Yes, this would seem to be the logical answer wouldn't it? This isn't my first "Android Rodeo"...however, as Android and handsets have developed, directories are no longer always as they seem (or titled)
Luckily I was able to resolve my issues.....

wow just read this thread and I must admit simms22 is quite helpful and even in some instances more helpful than he needs to be... LOL
now if pushing a file to /sdcard sends it to data/media then I truly agree as well CWM is a problem. I must admit though when using CWM I have never had that issue. Usually pushing a file to whatever folder I choose it normally goes there.
Also as a personal preference Root Explorer is a hell of a file manager..Jus Sayin'

[Guide] How to have write protection disabled on boot with stock rom

For this to work you will need to be rooted with twrp installed.
This is for people who are on the stock rom or a rom without init.d support.
1. Download the wp_mod.ko file from @flar2's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701816
and copy it over to your SD card (either internal or external)
2. Boot into twrp
3. Select the "Mount" option on the main menu and tick system
4. Go back to the main menu and then go into the "Advanced" option. There will be a "File Manager" option
5. Navigate to the folder you saved the .ko file in and copy it (just touch the file and it will bring up the menu)
6. now navigate to /system/lib/modules and copy the file there by hitting the "select" button on the bottom right.
7. Navigate to /system/lib/modules and insure the file is there. Now touch it to bring up the menu. select "Chmod" option and enter in 644
8. reboot the device
9. Once booted fully open up Terminal emulator and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
10. Once that's done open up a file manager app with root access and mount as r/w and navigate to /system/etc and look for the file install-recovery.sh
11. edit the file using a text editor, adding the line insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko towards the bottom of the file
12. reboot and enjoy r/w on boot without running the command every time
13. profit

I don't have my hands on mine yet (ordered a Dev edition from Amazon), but I greatly appreciate your work here! R/W was a massive pain for me on my M7, and this seems much more simple and easy. Thanks again!

Does this work if the phone is still s-on? (unlocked/rooted but no s-off)

Sorry, but will this fix my little niggling issue with MX player? I keep my Stewart/Colbert files on the extSD card, but I can't delete them when done watching them using MX Player's delete command. I have to remember which files are watched and then use ES File Explorer to delete them. A silly second step in my opinion. Yes I am rooted, s-on, with TWRP.
I'm staying stock hoping a firewater solves my s-on issue, but yes I should probably do a custom ROM to solve this and a few other things.
