screenshot and a cache cleaner. i do see there's a superuser permission app on my build but when i go to the terminal it says im still not root.
well i did alot of searching today and i don't think you can unlock this as technically we don't have a g1 or hero phone. we are running an image from a sd card. i still wonder how i can get root access to run certain apps? has anybody else addressed this issue because i can't find an answer.

i did, it says permission denied!
well i think what im looking for is to become a superuser to be able to run certain market apps such as screenshot and a cache cleaner. ive searched everywhere here and on ppcgeeks with no luck. i did see something about a script that can allow certain apps at launch to run in superuser mode, is there anything like that at all? sorry if i keep asking but it's bugging me to no end and im sorta stuck. how did you guys get apps to run in root mode? is there a command i need to enter int he terminal? i do know i tried su and it said permission denied for me?
by the way what is the superuser permissions app i see on my build of cupcake? i launch it and it does nothing?

Using adb will always give you root access, for windows you need to install the adb drivers from my site. Remember we are using a read only root filesystem so apps that modify the root fs won't work. su in the ion build will also give you root.
I modded an app from the market. Well its the facebook app and u can find it with a search for inverted facebook.
Well I can get it to flash and pushed through adb but when I'm trying to get to install like a 3rd party app off the SD card it says installation failed.
Does anyone know why and how to get it to work.

Install it through "adb install" or look into logcat. We can't know, what it is, if we don't know error message.

Gotcha. It installs via adb. It's the original app from the market I just modded it. Would I need to resign or compile the app in eclipse. I dont have the source code to compile . Ill have to log cat the app in a min a ill post.
Well guys im going to upload the apk i got from some post on here somewhere but it worked for me.
Just uninstall the current SU and then " INSTALL " this one. No rebooting required...
Also not my liability. I haven't noticed anything bad or out of normal. It works for me
you mean install that one. I don't see a flashable zip.

First of all, if Superuser works for you and you have root privileges and root apps work this wouldn't apply to you.
Well, first I would go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, and look for Superuser.
If it is not there, then you might have to dig into ADB commands. Or just reflash ROM.

Go to the applications list and choose uninstall on super user.
Or go to the market go to my apps and then find super user click it and select un install.
From there install the 3.0 SU that I have listed and it should work for your device (varies among devices and roms).
YOU DO NOT NEED TO REFLASH ANYTHING. Just re install and it should work . It is what worked for me.
This is super frustrating it does not give me that option i guess i need to root again even though it say S if Off

Download the APK and use astro or similar to browse to your download folder and find the apk and click and use app manager to install it.
OK I got it Thanks everyone.

Works great for me on Supersonic3D RC1.2-[10/14/2011]-Sense 3.5
Thank you for the apk.........
kindle fire is rooted and i'm using com.android.vending_2.2.6.apk as Vending.apk did not work for me.

what else can i try?
thank you

As in Market version 2.2.6? Try finding com.amarket.apk. You want the latest market, version 3.3.11. It's linked to in a few places. Check the dev fourm. I just pointed someone else to thread with something like "Android Market..WTF" that had it posted.
*Edit* and looking at that other post, it was you who I was responding to. lol

i appreciate you're help. i'm still quite new to this...do you know anything that might cause my fire t o get stuck in landscape mode? there are a couple screens that only display in portrait (battery usage and the boot screen for entering my password), but otherwise i am stuck in landscape mode and cannot find anything ot change this.

Hm, the last thing I can think of is your permissions. Make sure they are set
rw-
r--
r--
after copying the .apk to /system/app and prior to installing it (ditto on the googleservicesframework.apk). After that, I'm sorry to say I can't be of much further help.
Make sure you clear cache and Data as well on the app. Makes a difference.
forgive the noob question, but once the apk's are copied to the system/app directory, do they keep the same file name? i've copied over both the market app and the google services app and now do not see them listed in the app folder.
thank you for your patience.
hold on; i am making some progress...
please do not reply in the off chance i can figure this out and learn my way through.
thank you again for being patient.
i've gotten the apk's copied over, but under permissions there's also an execute column. do i uncheck those variables to get the
rw-
r--
r--
you mention?

*Edit* Just saw your post so I'm removing my instructions so you have a shot to figure it out. Yes, use the above settings I posted. And after you set them, back out and then go back in and make sure they've stuck.

is that how you would manually install all apk's? meaning would you copy and paste them into the system/app directory and then change their permissions identically?

No, only if you're trying to make them a system app. Technically, you don't have to install them at all once they're in /system/app. At boot the system will allow anything in that folder to run.
The reason it's a good idea to install the google related stuff is because it will then add them to /data/app (I beleive). Allowing you to keep functionality after OTA system updates. With the newst version 6.2 I did not have to re-install any of my google apps, including the Market, and have yet to run into any issues.
Normally, you would just need to click on an .apk to install it (doesn't matter where it's at). The trick is to get them onto your KF someway (USB, dropbox, email) in order to sideload them.
i've been using usb to get apk's onto my fire. i was then just clicking them in the folder i had placed them in to install them. i've only installed a few, but adroid market was one that definitely never worked after install. right now i've got it copied over per your instructions but cannot verify it works as i cannot get it to log into my goggle account...not sure why. amazon connection works fine.
thank you again for your help.
you have done it.
after rebooting i was able to get my account to log into android market and the very first app i tried to installed worked without a problem.
thank you most kindly.
now to focus on the display being stuck in landscape...

Awesome! Glad you got it working. Sorry, can't help with the landscape thing. Good luck!
landscape was a standard setting on the main screen...gear widget/lock/unlock...such a noob.
That's ok. I was just looking at this thread regarding the landscape lock and found out the same thing. Got set inadvertently by the infamous "somebody".

I love my new Nexus 7 but the lack of the default Browser is rather painful for me to do without. Does anyone else miss that Browser? The ability to never see the address bar as it frees up screen real estate as well as the Quick Controls, which I find are superior to any browser on Google Play, are the main reasons I want to see this browser back on Android 4.3. I already tried to install BrowserGoogle.apk and it just will not install. I wonder is anyone up to making this work for 4.3?

Thanks, but that one won't install either.
You should just accept that it's not coming back, just like SD card support

It'll say device not supported when you click to run it, but it works.

You can't just install the standard browser like other apk's:
Once you have root, remount /system rw.
Copy the browser.apk I linked before to /system/apps
Rename browserproviderproxy.apk and .odex to something else
Ensure the permissions on browser.apk are 664 (rw-rw-r--)
Reboot
ES file explorer can be used for everything if you're not comfortable doing it from a shell session.

I've used that app myself before, works great HOWEVER the version linked above is from 4.3 rather than 4.2.2. It doesn't look like the app has been updated for 4.3 yet.
There aren't any noticeable changes in the 4.3 version though anyway as far as I can tell, so whatever works for you really.

Im not sure I follow your logic.
The APK it installs is from 4.0 for the browser and the Flash is from ICS....What difference does it make if the app to install it is for 4.2.2..Almost every single App I have installed from playstore is from 4.2 or bellow....Not to mention Most of these peeps here wont even want to change the name of an app, then place it in a folder, then change its permissions. Hell just the fact that this thread was started shows that most won't even search for the how to.

I'm not talking about the app to install it, I'm talking about the version of browser.apk the app installs. I didn't realise it was the 4.0 version of browser installed, I assumed it would be the version taken from aosp 4.2.2 and would be updated to install the version from 4.3 shortly. Why isn't it installing the latest version of browser available? Only reason I can think of is for compatability maybe?
Similarly, I would always reccomend downloading the latest version of flash directly from the adobe website than using some apk posted on xda, personally. If people can't be bothered and the shortcut methods work fine for them then great! But there's no harm in giving the info on how to do it manually. Knowledge is power!

You are welcome.
This is perfect thanks for posting. Sadly I have three websites I use for work that are flash intensive.
So much flaming, so little time.
Take it elsewhere kids. Unless it relates to helping the OP get an AOSP browser, do not post it.
Do you know anything about the AOSP Browser Installer in the Play Store ?
What is this browser ?
I installed it and it took 5 minutes the the device to reboot ... then it seemed to factory reset my device kinda ... all the google apps were older from when I updated recently. Also, every app that had been purchased was gone ... I had to re-install and it gets worse before I could re-install I had to go into the /data/data folder and delete the paid app's folder then it would install ... not sure why this happened it was a pain to do this, is their any tool that could have fixed this ?
Google should have never removed it from these devices on the stock ROMs. Chrome even today is still not as smooth.
