What version do you currently have?
Did it come with your rom or did you download it?
You can backup your settings (export) to your sdcard and restore (import) with the new version if by chance your settings are not preserved.
Im using CM 5.0.8 ,and it came with 0.8.9.
And how do i go about doing that export/import?
Either download link from your phone and install or download on PC put on SD card open file manager and install are easiest. Put it on a friends phone. Looks good. Backup and restore are in settings adw.

Do a search for ADW.Launcher in the Market, it's there. Just make sure you have a period in between "ADW" and "Launcher."
Hey,
I'm interested in updating the ADW.Launcher version that came with my CM5.0.8 rom, but I don't know if it's OK to update through market or get the apk file and use "adb install" or find a zip file to flash...
Could anyone make some light in here pls?
Thanks!
I have tried downloading the apk file for my CM5x and MDPI device from Anderweb's page but when I tried to "adb install" I get...
INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS
Can someone shed some light? Is there a way to update the ADW.Launcher that comes with a specific ROM version?
Tried using android commander?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Since I'm new to this scene, what is the difference between the "adb install" method and using the Android Commander (which I need install)?
Would Astro help in this case, because I remember reading that has support for installing apk files?
I'd like to do this update as clean as possible.
Thank you for the reply!
PS: I have actually installed Android Commander and installed the ADW.Launcher apk for CM5x MDPI as an Update (wasn't sure what to chose between Private, Application or Update) and the installer said it was successful but after reboot I still have the old version 0.8.6
Any ideas?
U can download it put it on your sdcard and install with a file manager. Doesn't matter which way u go. Should work. Done it both ways
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
I did it somewhat the way you said and installed it with Android Explorer as an update because the regular installation would fail with the error that the application already exists.
The problem is that the new version gets copied into /data/apps/ and I can start using it but after the first reboot it's not there anymore and I get back to the one that came with my CM5.0.8 rom which is in /system/apps/
I would really like to get a solution that would update the one in /system/apps/ which might be harder because it's a memory mapped version of the ROM and changes get lost after reboot.
Please correct me where I am wrong...
Have u tried goin to the market and installing it from there? It's like version 1.4.1 or something now
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
place the file on your /sd.
adb push /sdcard/filename.apk /system/app
restart home or reboot phone.
I ended up installing the one from Market and making that the default launcher, but I would really like to just replace the one in the system folder - no need to keep 2 versions of the same app
I'll try the method NetrixTardis was suggesting.
U can do it through the terminal as well. Maybe removing the old one will solve it. Use the rm command in the terminal and see if u can do it that way. Ex.
$su (enter after each line)
#rm /system/app/(name of app.apk)
Then u can use cp command to copy the one from your sdcard.
Cp /sdcard/(app.apk) /system/app/
Someone correct me if I'm wrong in the lines
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
hey johnson8cyl
I'll try that and let you know if it worked, should I copy it to the same name?
like /system/app/adwlauncher.apk is the name for the system app, while the Market installed one is org.adwlauncher....apk
do you guys know a good keyboard replacement and a way to configure the vibration alarm on my CM5.0.8? these are mostly the things I miss from my stock ROM
oh...forgot to mention the CM5.0.8 default camera does not have all the setting (like I can't set the ISO), is there one that does that trick?
thanks!
I'll answer the keyboard part. I've got Smart Keyboard installed and its a lot better than the stock Android one.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
U have to use the names exactly the one your removing and one your copying. Names have to be what u want to remove or copy. That make sense?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Makes total sense to keep the same names only that I have this problem...
any ideas? kinda makes sense because that comes from the ROM and is mounted as read-only
# su
su
# pwd
pwd
/system/app
# rm -f ADWLauncher.apk
rm -f ADWLauncher.apk
rm: can't remove 'ADWLauncher.apk': Read-only file system
ps: I actually managed to fix this what was missing is "adb remount" to mount system partition read-write
So you figured it out? Were you able to get it removed and replaced?

I called HTC support in Egypt about 10 days ago to ask about the update and they confirmed HTC Legend Froyo update is available with version 3.30.466.6 and the update is rolling in batches by the phone IMEI, please has anybody got this update? my phone is showing "Your phone is up to date" !!!
There is an update available already for 1.27.466.7 to 3.30.466.6 but we don't have the original ROM to make a custom ROM or extract the Arabic support!

I called HTC Support to tell them about the problem with updating to Froyo, they told me: I have either update the phone within Safe Mode or take the phone to Support Center in Cairo and they will update it manually within 2 hours.
I guess there is a missing update my phone needs to get: 1.27.466.5 to 1.27.466.7 and that must be manually updated.
I hope this helps some one out there.
I have the same problem. so what is the solution only going to the software support for them to update.
You have two options actually:
1. Wait the update to come to your phone
2. Go to the support center and do the update
I went to the support center and upgraded my phone to froyo, It took 2 hours, and they did for free, I'm now a happy FroYo phone owner .
My phone now has SW# 3.30.415.6
Remember to backup all your data and apps before you go, they will do a factory data reset to the phone.
Working hours of the support center is from 11AM to 6PM.
Can you softroot it and make a dump of /system.

I tried already using "Universal Androot 1.6.2 beta 5", did not work, do you have another way that is compatible with FroYo 2.2?
Download Tools.zip
We will need to do a backup of the SYSTEM partition of your phone.
1- Use VISIONary to temp root your phone but make sure USB Debugging is enabled for it to work.
2- Extract the Tools.zip to c:/tools
3- use CMD command prompt and type below commands
cd c:\tools
4- push busy box to your phone
adb push busybox /data
adb shell chmod 755 /data/busybox
5- make a copy of the system parition
adb shell
su
/data/busybox tar -cv -f /sdcard/system.tar /system
6- finally upload the system.tar file from the root of your sdcard.

I guess he will have to push it to /data/local or /data/local/tmp directory:
Code:
adb push busybox /data/local
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/busybox
...and execute it from there:
Code:
adb shell
su
/data/local/busybox tar -cvf /sdcard/system.tar /system
Ok I'll try all of that, but I have 2 questions:
1. Is this a softroot and will go away once I restarted my phone?
2. Does this will collect my personal data with it when I TAR the system partition?
1. Yes.
2. No.

Mount r/w for /system in root explorer and then copy the files over. GingerDX does not need CWM recovery, it only needs xRecovery to install. So root your x8, install xRecovery, backup phone, full wipe, install GingerDX, wipe cache and dalvik-cache and then reboot. Tada! GingerDX will be running on your phone.
Tada! MD5 missmatch? Did you know how to fix it? Thx again
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Search for "md5 mismatch" on xda.
By the way:
When did you get this?
Because you can get this only when you flash a ROM/backup that consists of syste.img, data.img, cache.img and nandroid.md5 and GingerDX is in an update.zip, so it´s only a .zip-file that contains the /system-folder and a script that makes it flashable in a recovery, so you can´t get a md5 mismatch on this.
hey bro you need xrecovery version 0.1 and you flash it try first a Ginger DX v09 like i d then upgrade ginger dx have clockowrmod installed you can reboot in it i will post a link
Latest versions of GingerDX for X8 need CWM
and I have xRecovery installed on my stock rom. I would update first to CWM my phone and then install GingerDX v016...what I should do? I don't want to brick my phone! Anyone could explain me the correct procedure? Thanks

Flash dualboot with xrecovery then you will have cwm and xrecovery at the same time. You can find dualboot.zip from the multiboot thread

Hello XDA guyz, I am here looking for a system.tar file required to build custom ROMS.
Download the apk below and follow instructions and please give me that .tar file..
Instructions :
1. Getting system folder
(NOTE - YOU MUST BE ROOTED FOR THIS MEDHOD)
This is universal method and can be done easily using terminal emulator.
For this simply download Terminal Emulator from Android Market.
we need freshly flashed device here. OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE LOT OF JUNK FILES.
Open it and type:
su
tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar
This will copy all your /system folder to your SDcard with name System.tar
This will take some time to finish so be patient.
After it's done you should have a tar file in your /sdcard named system.tar
now please submit it to me.. Thanks a lot in advance

Hey, it's all ok dude..
I bet you didn't make a nandroid backup, if yes just restore it !
Not made a backup and rooted with superSU ?
Here on XDA find and try to use 'unSU.zip' file or simply click here. Flash it in recovery,
then if will work re-root the device with your favorite superuser app.
Hope your device will be newly usable.
Let the community know if all gone well...
P.S.: PM are ok but a post can be read by everyone, well done !
P.S.2: THX to @osm0sis for unSU script.

I believe / sh is recoverable only with a backup made previously.
Now you probably need to re-install, even to prevent other possible problems, the entire system.
Save all your files you want to keep and
keep your bootloader unlock code handy (maybe you don't need it).
I can suggest which files to use...
You can still expect some tips from more experienced users ..
You decide.
Cheers
