Same problem here!
I don't know what the problem is...
I tried to reinstall adfree, but that doesn't help.
Any ideas?

You guys could always manually download the hosts file; either by looking it up here on XDA or you might be able to get it using the adfree app (dunno about this because i personally don't use the app)
Regardless of how you get the hosts file, once you have it just replace your older one using estrongs, adb, terminal, root explorer, w/e you want.
located at /system/etc/hosts

How do I install a new framework-res.apk? [solved]

I have a framework-res.apk to give me battery % on the top bar, but im not sure how to install it... Can someone help please?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
use Astro File Manager and open it. you should be at /sdcard. then press "UP" and you should be at / now.
all in all. navigate to /system/framework and replace the framwork-res.apk file.
do backup your original apk file incase things don't work out.
Right I tried that, with Astro I can't copy files to root directories (above /sdcard/) I tried EStrongs file manager and it says it can't be copied... Is there any reason it won't work?
Or is there another way of doing this?
Thanks.

hmm weird. it worked for me, judging from your signature you're rooted so... i have no idea. paid solutions like root explorer and all, or adb. isn't the battery modification done via an update.zip now? it's easier and way automated.
Yeah it's rooted and it had worked before but when this method didn't work again I thought I was doing it wrong.
I'll have a look for the thread again when I'm home and see what it says and if there's an update.zip.
Thanks for the help

definitely an update.zip method now. i've applied it yesterday lol no problem.
here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765419
Damn you're good, thats the exact thread
Well I'm glad it's done by update.zip haha.

Not enough free space in /system

Hey Guys,
I want to apply the BatteryMod in XXJPK, but when I want to overwrite the existing "framework-res.apk" and it says "Not enough free space". But I deleted some ringtones and the "free" space doesn't change!
Any Fixes?
My system:
I9000XXJPK
Root
OCLF v2.1
Hope for help ;-)

The instructions were written using adb (shell), obviously for a good reason. Some of these system files are in use permanently, or almost so.
In this case, replacing framework-res.apk, even using adb (manually) you'll notice quite a few errors from background tasks. Hence the vibrations...
The strangeness here isn't that you couldn't write the file but that you were able to delete the original. I'm pretty sure that this is a linux (superuser) trait/ prerogative.
The problem persists! Its says no space left ob device! Any help?

Did you resolve it? i have the same problem..
Hey!
I have the same Problem when I try to .
And when I delete the framework-res.apk with root explorer I have excactly the same amount of free space as before, so that I'm not able to paste the new file, because there is not enough space in system/framework.
I'm running JP6 with root and z4mod.
Thanks alot.
I will try wipe cache and data..maybe it's something after nww rom install..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I reflashed firmware (JM8 then JPM/JP6) and kernel (JP6, z4modded JP6) and wiped data and cache several times... still the same problem...
I found this problem also but now I found the solution. Just try the busybox 1.15.3.
Need to use root explorer to delete some crap first like email.all re built in email.. and widgets etc

Well just happens with some rooms. But i dont know how to find tab crap on my /system
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Make sure you have installed latest Superuser.apk.
Get latest Root Explorer and make sure that /system ist mounted read-write not read-only (read-only is standard on newer froyo-firmwares).
I can delete files in system. I replaced android.policy.odex for the stock lock lockscreen and it worked.. now I'm deleting some apps from /system/app to get more free space.. but not everytime I delete a file the free space in /system is increased.
Please somebody enlighten us. I find this situation bit odd.
Must be some kind of error/bug.
Please help here - I get this error as well and it is nowhere to be solved!
I'm on x10 mini with root access and R/W activated in Super Manager..

[Q] How can I obtain access to the "/data" folder again?

I'm rooted and running CM6.1. It appears I lost my root access to the /data folder which I once had access to. Now when I use astro file manager on my phone and open the data folder it displays "No files or Folders" which is not true. I ran a simple "ls /data" in the terminal, and it showed me many folders.
Can somebody please help me get access back? Thanks
EDIT: just tried droidexplorer and same thing, no files or folders appear.
Try Root Explorer... I'll look for it & try to upload it for you to install, I've had good luck using it myself, hopefully it will Help You Too!!
Ok Here You Go Ubunix!! I Also Uploaded ES File Explorer, GOOD-LUCK!!

I tired both of those already too, no anvil. I think I have to do a nandroid, because I do recall deleting the "/d" folder in the root directory, not knowing that it served any purpose.

I'd remove root explorer if I were you...Its a paid app
Warez is not allowed on XDA
Forum Rules Here
UPDATE: Back to normal after doing a nandroid, still dont know the specific cause, but thanks PMGRANDS for suggestions!
Root explorer removed. it's a paid app, so it's warez if you post it
Oh Okay.... I'm Sorry Every1.... I Was Just Trying To Help Out, Honestly I Didn't Know I About The Paid App Upload Restriction!! I Respect This Site And All Of It's Developers, Didn't Mean To Break Any Rules, Or Offend Anybody!! Sorry Once Again!! I'm Wondering Now If ES Explorer Is A Paid App? I Got It From A Rom I Installed, I'm Using The XDA App, & Can't Figure Out How To Delete The ES Explorer Apk. I Uploaded From My Laptop Which I Won't Have Access To For A Few Days.... If Any1 Knows How (If Possible) I'd Appreciate The Info!! Thanx!!!

Download the android SDK, use adb shell to remount system by hand and exchanges the files you want by hand.
If something doesn't work then you can tell us what the error read and we can provide further help.
Info on adb shell is available through forum search or google .

Sorry Im searching now for 2h and couldnt find any way to get this working.
I downloaded the sdk but Im not able to connect to the phone...
Im dont know how to find the right tutorial, I need one to setup my ADB and connect to the phone and afterwords to remount the system...
I would suggest using Root Explorer, which allows you to remount directories as R/W.

[Q] When someone says /etc/....

I'm familiar with the linux filesystem, but what i'm not sure is how to access or view this file system. Say I wanted to place a file in /etc/system, what program can i use to do that? When connected to my PC via USB, all I get is the SD card with download..data...titanium backup..gps...etc
Cheers

First you need to root your phone. As the term implies it gives you root access.
Then use an app like root explorer to get into root directories, mount them as rw, then do as you will.

Hello,
for me sounds like you need root access to your system to see this folders and a file explorer with root too like root explorer....but is not for free. I already didn´t found a free option.
Is only a idea...I didn´t try self
Edit: I was too slow :-D
