My text messaging isnt working anymore why is this the rom is super fast for me i love it but i cant get text messages any one having same prob? or know of a solution?
im on this rom and dont have this problem...try pushing a Mms.apk from another hero build
how do you do that?
Code:
adb remount
adb push [directory on your computer that contains the Mms.apk]/Mms.apk /system/sd/app_s/Mms.apk
adb shell reboot
someone correct me if that is the wrong location
since i am going to assume you do not have adb though
go into the recovery terminal and type
Code:
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd/app_s
cd system/sd/app_s
rm Mms.apk
reboot
then have the Mms.apk from another build on your sdcard(fat32) and install it via astro or some other package installer
again someone correct me if that is the wrong location because i am not on a hero build right now or i would confirm the directories myself
Im pretty sure u cant install system apps with astro. Either try the super user file browser from the market, terminal, or adb

I like to use Helvetica, so every time I flash a new cyanogen ROM, I find myself having to hook up USB and copying over the ttf files from my desktop.
Code:
adb remount
adb push ~/android/fonts/Helvetica/DroidSans.ttf system/fonts
adb push ~/android/fonts/Helvetica/DroidSans-Bold.ttf system/fonts
adb shell reboot
Can someone help me figure out how to do this directly on the phone?
I have the ttf files on my SD card, but I can't figure out how to copy them over to /system/fonts.
I tried using Better Terminal Emulator (a) but it's a pain to type it all, and (b) it doesn't allow it.
Is there a way to create a script to do this?
Can the script be made into an app/icon on my home screen?
It would be great if someone wrote up an app that could change fonts in general.
Thanks!

Is there a way to post in the correct section?
Anyways, have them on the root of your sdcard and
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/*.ttf /system/fonts
reboot
That should change the fonts.

ever heard of "gscript" .. it's pretty simple to create a script to do whatever you want it to do .. ie. "cp /sdcard/*.ttf /system/fonts" .. no USB needed .. come to think of it i don't use a USB connection for any of my G1 needs
Thanks! That worked!
I found this handy app -- GScripts (on the market) -- that let me set up the script to run with one click.
PS: I'm sorry -- which section should this go in? Regular Q&A?
Hey guys, I just used root explorer v 2.2 to delete the annoying apps built into the system (amazon mp3)
I am now trying to move my apps into the system so that they cannot easyly be removed. I want to send over lookout and sim checker. That way a theif would not be able to easily delete the apps.
when I select the "move" option (with sim checker) then go to the system apps dirrectpry and then select "paste", it says paste and shows a progress indicator for like 1 second then when I check to see if it actually did the move, it hasn't can anyone help me out
I know I have full root access as I have clicked to allow it and am remounted as r/w so that's not the problem.
Any help to get those two apps into my read only system directory would be greatly apprecaited.
Oh ya I think ill add that I have also tryed to simply change the permissions of the app to readonly (with root explorer) but that did not stop the basic android app manager from uninstalling it.
Try to use adb to move it.
so i went and installed adb, i know its working as well with a little test, could someone please write out a sample command for me to use for this purpose of moving an app out of the apps to sd location and into the system apps.

mv /system/sd/app/*lookout* /system/app
mv /system/sd/app/*checker* /system/app
It really depends on the name of the file though, if it has lookout in it, then it will be moved to /system/app. The * tells it to move anything with that in the file name
type adb and it will give you the commands + switches
adb pull
adb push
In response to your first attempt, it sounds like system is not being mounted as rw. If it were, the copying would work (I do this all of the time with SUFBS). Try to mount the system as rw via the terminal then copy.

hey, sorry for the noob question but could you tell me the command for this. I know in the app i was using it says remount as rw and i do have access to change the system app folder (delted apps) but how can i remount as RW in terminal whats the command? And after, do i need to manually remount back to what i was so that it is back to being unchangeable?

If you have the tools directory in your PATH (as you should) no need to cd to the directory. Anyways, sorry to move it in adb do
adb remount
adb shell
*previous commands*
exit
Bingo!
it says failed on /systen/sd/app/com.lookout.apk - cross-device link

Ou have 2 android phones plugged in or an emulator running ath the same time
i dont have two phones plugged in and i dont have an emulator that i know of...
but on the bright side i mannaged to solve my problem using droid explorer. I successfully have gotten lookout entrenhed into the system so that it cannot be uninstalled from the menu.
BUT when i tried the same thing for sim checker it did not work, it would not copy into system\apps
i did manage to get it inot system\app but using the copy rather than move option in root explorer, after reinstalling using the simchecker in system\app
but it is showing up as still uninstallable. I have no idea why simcheck is not working but it worked for lookout...
hey guys ive been trying to get a apk into system/data/app on my N1 but i cant get it right. so i did some research and saw that i needed to push the files into system/data. I dont have a pc to do it on so how can i do it on my phone with the terminal app? My phone is rooted so it should be a quick and easy deal....Right?
If you have busybox you can:
busybox cp nameoffile.apk /system/app/

Okay but where do i put said file so i can push it? Do i copy it into system/data/app and then push it or what?
Just download it to the SD card.
Use Root Explorer, and just copy the file there. Of course, toggle the /system to be in R/W before you copy (an option in Root Explorer).

if busybox is installed you dont need the "busybox cp"
you can do this
put whatever.apk in sdcard(or download it) then do
go to terminal
cd /sdcard
or
cd /sdcard/download (this only if you downloaded the apk from phone)
then do
ls(to check if file is there)
then do
cp /sdcard/download /system/data
most likely your gonna get a error bout read-only so you might want to do this before doing cp
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
then try again
Root Explorer

I agree, this is probably the easiest way.
can anyone post a link for the default galaxy s boot screen? the one with the shiny big S logo. thks
It will be in the rom kitchin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
Buts its also on your phone unless you removed the files . Delete boot animation file if you have custom boot .
jje
thks for the link, but i need to create the entire rom just to get the default boot screen? anyways to just get the file for the bootscreen and just flash it? i m on darky's rom.
delete or rename the bootanimation.zip in system/media and the stock will work
yeh i know all that, but the prob is tat my stock animation is with my phone subscriber's animation.

How is that possible, darkys rom has:bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg and they are the glowing S, they should overwrite yours or?
hmm, i cant seem to delete the bootanimation.zip as it prompts error, and also renaming it prompts insufficient permission. any idea?
You need to mount system as r/w.
hmm. its confusing how to mount the thing to rw.
everyttime i does the typing (mount -o rw,remount /system) in terminal emulator, it wil prompt this: Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory.
and i dunno wat it means. i watch vid on youtube, and after they type in the mount command, there isnt any prompt after that. I wonder did i miss out any steps.
enlighten me pls =D
