How do I install a new framework-res.apk? [solved] - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[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!!!

Need Help guys. No Media Center after Root

Hello. I rooted my Atrix and have had no problems. I deleted most of the bloatware. I also put the settings in for the apn and access wifi hotspot via this forum.
Just a couple minutes ago, I plugged in the HDMI cable to show my mother some stuff on the phone and how the Media Center is but it wouldnt come up. It came up before I did all the root. But now, when plugged in it would pop up on my screen asking what to select and then it would go away. Can someone help me on what possibly might have happened? I would really appreciate this. Thank you so much.
Nick
sounds like you deleted something when you were removing the bloatware.
as advised in other threads, don't remove it, freeze it with titamium backup.
do a factory reset and pray it comes back.
It wont come back after a factory reset so....what you have to do is get the retail motoblur dump file and push the apks to the phone using ADB. Remember to push them to the sytem not /data.
Thank desigegears for telling me this.

Yes I did a factory reset and it didnt come back. I just read the thread that talked about that uptop after I did this. I feel so bad. I screwed up. How do I get the Retail Motoblur dump file? And pushing the APKs to the phone using ADB. I havent done this in a while. Please any help I would really appreciate it.
One of the devs posted it on the forum, not sure where. MAybe on page two? just scroll down. To push them to adb, designgears posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966405 which shows how to push files. Just push the mediacenter one.
Thank you for the info. Im downloading a file where the dump said Blur_Version.4.1.26.MB860.ATT.en.US.tar.gz is that correct? It was in this forum. But the fileformat I dont know what to open that up with. Its like 145MB. I had to PM Designgears because I really dont know how to do this. I would just need the 1 file? I do have the phone rooted with Root Explorer. Anyway I can get the file on the phone and cut and paste it in the right path?
Ok that was the right file. I do have the mediacenter.apk file now. Anyway I can put this on there with the phone rooted? I have root Explorer and can paste that apk in there.
Use 7 zip to open the file. Got to the app folder and find the one named media center. Push that file or paste it into /system

I have the file. And in root explorer its also showing that the file is installed already in / system /app

[Q] old stock android keyboard in 2.3.x

Ok, I have searched high and low, and found nothing, I want my good old android stock keyboard in gingerbread. I have found a hundred ways of putting the gb one on everything, even a psp, but not the other way around. Can someone build an apk, or a zip to do this? I am having such trouble getting use to the gb keyboard.
So, im asking for the old default androind keyboard in the new 2.3.X
Thank you
I'm not understanding. Stock is there for me. Imputed method>gingerbread. Keyboard=stock

I think he means the keyboard that was in 2.1 (or 2.2).
Correct me if I'm wrong OP.
Yes, the one on 2.1 and 2.2. I hate this gb one, space bar is so small!

I'm thinking you could always pull it out of the 2.2 Froyo ROM zip that is around here.
Should be in system/app (I think).
You can use 7zip to pull it directly as a zip instead of unzziping, getting it and rezipping.
Once you got it, just put it on your sd card and install.
I can't promise it will work cause the framework is different on GB ROMs but it's worth a try. The worse you'll get is a "Can't install error".
Oh, I got it. And it even installs. But I don't know where it goes, Or where supposed to go in gb. Cause it didn't show up in the settings section.

It should install in system/app
I believe you should be able to change it under settings -> local and text.
It's trying to put files in /meta-inf, system/app and system/ lib. it says its installing, but i show no evidence of it.

Que?
what is trying to put files where?
meta-inf is in cwm zip files, it's the flashing instructions for cwm? There is no folder on the phone called that.
I'm confused
Lets start over shall we,
What you have to do is open the zip, either unzip with native windows tools or just open the archive in 7zip. Take out the keyboard apk you want out of /system/app and the corresponding lib file in /system/lib. Put those in the same folders on the phone, either push them with adb or drop them in with root explorer, and reboot.
Still no guarantee it'll quirk on gingerbread though...
The above mentioned directory is the folders in the zip file that when opened it will write to on extraction. On earlier roms, 2.2.x, i flashed it via cw as an update.zip. Apparently this doesn't work with 2.3.x. Do i have a file that is really old?

If you have root try to overwrite the app by pushing it into system/app. Maybe it will work.

I have my phone rooted, and I tried what you say with astro/es/root explorer
but I just can't copy anything in /system/app/ because it's read-only.
Any ideas ?
yes, I do. Mount R/W in the root explorer (upper right corner). By default read only is set.

hmmm, strange. Anyway. I just overwrote it by a normal install of the .apk. Nothin to push. And it works great.

WTF is going on :/
I navigate to /system with root explorer tap on mount R/W and nothing happens
You have to paste it after you pressed R/W..
Pressing the R/W button only means you can now put something in that folder..
Been using it since the morning, works great so far.. not too sure about the looks though. Too grey and too much like WP7

Man I'm not an idiot, I know that "Mount R/W" only changes the permissions and I also have to paste the file.
The thing is that when I click it nothing happens.

Have you tried deleting the old market paste the new then restart you phone
I just click on it installed and everything was fine, dunno what has happened there,
or you could open up the zip of the rom you are using remove the vending and replace it with the new one and reflash it to your your phone, without wiping and that might work
or try ADB
All I did was install it over the original some people said its got Chinese work.g on it but mine seems fine

I'm rather sure it was created in the same folder the aroma-app-package-creator.jnlp was in and it's a zip file, there is no exe.
Probably yes but there was not really a problem you just need all the apk files and it takes some time but the result is very good and usefull.
My mistake, i was talking about the .jnlp file.
Btw i put in this paclage creator only the apk files and did not add any app folder.
I'm gonna try it again later on today. The first few try out the program worked pretty fast but no zip to be seen LOL. Lets see what will happen later on.

Works flawlessly for me
:victory::victory::victory: YES, FINALLY. i made it :laugh::laugh: i think i know what was the problem. i didnt give enough time to create the .ZIP file. if would have waited for 20 secs longer on each earlier attempt, i would have had those files already. LMAO, i'm such a noob dang so stupid of me. well no i know to double check myself. hehe.
