that is the thing, when I went under "Manage Applications" setCPU is not even listed in there to uninstall it...
Under the same place I went under "All" clicked on setCPU and uninstall button is not highlighted

What ROM are you running? The ROM you are running probably installed setcpu to system so you would have to pull the old version using adb or you might be able to use a file explorer to find it and delete it.

I am using kang-o-rama 0.9
I went under /system/app and all I see is setCpuWidgetMod. There is not an app called just setCPU

Remount and then do it again.
Or download root explorer and browse to /system/app and delete the .apk from there.

I have the astro mananger, browsed inside /system/app but there is not a file called setcpu.apk....

If you have root explorer, do a search for setcpu

why does it say you cannot install? its the fault of the rom dev of including it in his build. see if you can find and delete the app from /system/app
it may be that mod that you mentioned
su
remount
rm /system/app/setCpuWidgetMod.apk

From what I see it does not give me reason it just says "Install unsuccessful"
tried:
su
remount
rm /system/app/setCpuWidgetMod.apk
on terminal and gave me same error "Read only file system"
also, when I typed "remount, it said "remount not found"...

If u install it, and while its downloading click the progress bar to get to the setcpu description screen in market, it'll show u the reason it failed.
Most likely it'll say something like insufficient space - which actually is a result of it not being able to overwrite the existing apk thats installed. To find the actual apk try this
find / -name *setcpu*
You should get a list of all files with setcpu on your phone. rm -F the correct apk. If its on /system you will need to do 'adb remount' from your windows command prompt, then open a adb shell before you can delete it.

btw it may actually be these two:
rm /data/data/com.mhuang.overclocking
rm /data/app/com.mhuang.overclocking-1.apk

I looked inside the /data/ with ASTRO but there is nothing in there...

Yeah not sure why astro shows it empty. It may be because it doesnt run with root privaledges and only requests them when you try to delete something.
Use adb to check.

yes this is because the old one is installed.
Use ES file explorer...not sure if its root access will work on that rom but it should

I have uploaded attached it for you. However I've not tested it but I see no reason to why it shouldnt work.
Just so you know, this isn't a normal installation apk. In order to install it you're gonna have to move it to /data/app through a terminal with superuser permissions. i.e. through terminal emulator:
su
mv /sdcard/teeter.apk /data/app

I get the same thing. Cant move it over to /system/sd/app
EDIT: Had to do it via adb shell
Wow I had it install straight up as soon as xmoo released the /system folder of the magic. I didn't need to use adb & its on my sdcard

Has anyone been able to install this app via the terminal emulator if so will you post the commands? I have been searching around for quite a while and I still can't find it. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
hello i too am having problems installing apk. tried to install from adb but got same error and force close. can someone point me in the right direction? thanks
You need the HTC frameworks and a ramdisk that puts them into the BOOTCLASSPATH. My CM2-ADP build has this (and Teeter). I doubt you'll get it working on a US firmware, though, because you can't change the BOOTCLASSPATH without breaking the preinstalled apps.
ok got it. I did try your build yesterday but had too many problems with the camera and video force closing. didnt see any real proformance change from jf1.51 either maybe need to update spl.
thank for the answer.
I found the teeter that can be installed using a regular installer app like Lindas. Its off the sapphire build. It does work but it is rather buggy on the g1.

heres another apk

SOLVED - Pull an APK from unrooted phone

I have a Motorola Cliq, Also a G1. I was wondering. Is there a way to pull an APK from an unrooted phone? I can "adb shell" into the phone and look at it's contents. I see the APK i want to copy but since i don't have root, it says "CP Permission Denied"... Is there a way of pulling or copying an APK if the phone is not rooted???
Did you try adb remount first?
Karolis said:

yes, I tried ADB remount but it doesn't work... I can do adb devices and it'll show but it won't mount it as rw... it just lists the contents but can't copy,move,pull or push.
Where is the apk located? If it's in /system and it's read-only in theory you should still be able to pull it. Don't know why you're using 'cp' rather than adb pull.. If it's in data/app-private then no you won't be able to pull it. Hence the ADP1 has root but can't download paid apps (to prevent piracy)..
Solved
I tried CP, MV, PULL, PUSH... nothing worked because the phone is not rooted... BUT I SOLVED THE PROBLEM!
Here's what my goal was. My wife got a Motorola Cliq. It came with the TeleNav program and i wanted to put it on my G1... I couldn't get it out because the phone's not rooted....
I fixed the problem though...
I installed ASTRO File Manager on the Motorola Cliq, located the APK and used the e-mail option to e-mail it to myself... that actually worked... woot woot!
Installed it on the G1 and it works like a charm... so now I have Turn by Turn directions on my G1.
follow up question because i'm attempting to do the same thing, just trying to extract the apk. where exactly did you find that file using astro, i've been looking but haven't seen it

Apps should be in /data/app.
Also, you could have used ADB
Code:
adb pull /data/app/app.to.pull.apk C:\apps

It doesn't ask for root permission? Which ROM are you using?
Regaw 1.3.1 when I go in I long press the apk, hit delete, it acts like its deleting but nothing happens
Sounds like you need to mount the system partition. Unfortunately I have no idea what the command is (you need to use Terminal Emulator), because I only use ADB and my computer.

I'm not sure about Regaw mod, but I thought that it had SU Permissions app installed...if your file manager isn't getting root access, that could be the problem (sounds like it to me anyway). You can either follow the ADB instructions, or install Estrong...
yeah, SUFBS doesn't let me delete anything from the phone... weird.... all the icons show with a "lock" symbol on it.

[Q] Deleted LG-home, no backup.. now what?

First post! So hello,
I made a big screwup. First i rooted my lg-p990, next i deleted lg-home using Titatium Free. I did not backup my file. Also i never installed a new homescreen.
When finishing this action, the phone didnt respond anymore. Now it wont restart. It is still possible to connect to pc and view sd cards. Also it will restart bringing the installation sequence, but when finishing it, the phone stops responding again.
I realise i havent been very smart. But does anybody have a solution?
Im guessing you will have to push the apk through adb.... but as i have limited knowledge on this i would wait until someone more experienced gives you help!

Short answer for you:
1) Download my attachement
2) Rename it from .zip to .apk
3) Put in adb folder
4) Run:
adb remount
adb push LGLauncher.apk /system/app/
adb reboot
doesn't pushing apks to system/app require root? Correct me if I'm wrong

My next problem is that i dont know how to operate adb. I've got android sdk installed, but cant find how to work with adb.. What to do?
-edit-
I did some more research, and i cant use the commandline to acces :\android-sdk-windows\tool. This path doesn excist. Neither am i sure if USB-debugging is activated on the phone. I cannot acces the phones menu, so i cannot check..

Well. You rooted the phone. So usb debugging is enabled. It has to be for super one click to work.

If you manage to get a working adb connection the commands you need to execute are. Please make sure that the phone is unlocked when typing su (you will get a su access prompt on the phone and need to press allow)
adb push LGLauncher.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system
stop
cp /sdcard/LGLauncher.apk /system/app/
reboot

E-mail download link of the LGhomeLaunger.apk

It works as new!
Ok i solved the problem, thanks for thinking along with me..
It seemed i could still recieve emails, so i just sent the lghome.apk as a downloadlink true email..
it worked!
i guess sometimes solutions are not always as dificult!

well...
that is not a permanent fix.
when you install that way it is only installed in user space... If you ever factory reset the phone you will be stuck without a launcher again... and probably no way to config ur email :-(
you need to put the launcher apk file on your sd card... and then copy it to the /system/app folder using root explorer.
If you do this it will be fixed even after a factory reset...
anyway. Next time just freez apps. Dont uninstall them. If they are only frozen you can allways factory reset to get them back.

running adb shell type this command:
type "su" and press enter
type "mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system"
type "chmod 777 /system/app"
type "exit" and "exit" again
with a file manager go on /system/app and delete ArcCamera.apk
after that in adb run command: "adb push ArcCamera.apk /system/app
it`s going to autoinstall. enjoy
P.S. let me know if the shutter sound is disabled indeed, I`m pretty sure it is but someone said it isn`t though
I install the apk using root explorer...
-mount /system/app ro r/w
-copy ArcCamera.apk from sdcard to /system/app
-change permission ArcCamera.apk same as other apk in the folder
-restart my phone
was that the same? but nothing happened...
Try and go to /system/app/ArcCamera.apk. click on it and go to application manager and then click install.

open emulator and:
type "su" (it will ask you for root permisions, you`ll say yes. if doesn`t ask you it will simply announce you that emulator has been granted super user permision and terminal might get stuck - in this case close terminal, open again and type "su" it will work this time)
type "mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system"
type "chmod 777 /system/app"
exit emulator.
next go to /system/app folder and remove original ArcCamera.apk (long press on it -> Edit -> Delete), after you`ve done this, copy the modified ArcCamera.apk in /system/app, click on it and install it. I hope you will succeed.
After I've done that and try to install modded ArcCamera.apk I get this message "Program not installed"
