I have read the discussions about amoled screens not using battery on pixels which are meant to be black because it simply doesn't light anything up in the case. I was wondering if its possible for someone to make a Google talk app that is black with white text. Since that's my most used app I'd be interested in seeing if it makes any battery savings.

I could have sworn that it had a black background in the Eclair days... or at least on CM5.x Eclair. I could be mistaken, though.
Its been done, along with gvoice.

Consider that you will not be able to update without uninstalling the modded version.
Wow that's brilliant..never even thought about that before

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'll push it when I get home.
Maybe you can help answer a problem I'm having, I have 2 nexus ones, one for Tmo and one for ATT. The ATT is just a backup in case I move to ATT someday, and it's like my wifi tablet lol.
Anyways, when I originally figured out how to push the talk apk to my TMo nexus one, it worked perfectly. However, when I pushed it to the ATT one, it looked like it worked fine, it showed that the 1032 kb were pushed (I'm just guessing the amount)...and I rebooted the phone...the google talk is still white :S....I did it again, and again it looked like it worked fine, but the google talk is still white! Any idea how to check to see what I'm doing wrong? The command I'm entering is fine..
The talk.apk is in my sdk tools folder..and the command I'm using is
adb push talk.apk /system/app/talk.apk
The command you're entering is wrong. Linux is case sensitive, so is Android. Copy the command I gave above EXACTLY. And you might be pushing the wrong file, since you don't have it named right.
Thanks,
I had just figured it out last night. I needed to capitalize the T in talk....however, now when I do
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
I see in the files that there is a Talk.apk, and also a talk.apk. How do I remove the "talk.apk"?
adb pull talk.apk /c:/talk.apk ?
Pull doesn't remove, only copies to PC.
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm talk.apk
Once you execute "adb shell", you get to Linux shell. SH, specifically. Work with files and folders like you would in Linux.

Any way to install this via terminal emulator?
I am running Enom's 2.14.1, and I have apps2ext enabled...
I tried to use the command "mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"
to remount via terminal emulator, but it says mounting remount on /dev/block/mtdblock3/system failed: Not a directory.
So I'm trying to figure out how to install these without the computer. I don't have root explorer but I'm not sure how it would work considering I have apps2ext enabled.
Any suggestions?

Theres a space before "/system".
should work
1)mount as above
2)command: cp /sdcard/Talk_Mod.apk /system/app/Talk.apk
Thanks,
that gives me a new error though:
Code:
can't create '/system/app/Talk.apk': File exists
Got it!!
This command worked in terminal emulator to remount
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
Then I was able to do the cp /sdcard/Talk_Mod.apk /system/app/Talk.apk

Make sure you're running compatible version. This is for Froyo, you're running CM7 - not the same Gtalk.

this is for Froyo, correct? Do you happen to have a Gingerbread version?
No, I didn't make one. Try to look for various dark CM7 themes, you'll probably find it there.

I've just pushed new Hero Java app into my rogers build and it works fine.
What you basically need is:
Jbed.apk (install with adb install)
libjbedvm.so (adb push /system/lib) - remember to remount as RW.
I strongly suggest to run linux-swap (as it killed all my applications and hanged for some time without it).
Files taken from Drizzy's build.
I just went to getjar.com and d/l the jbed runner, installed and it worked perfectly without pushing it but I haven't found any good use for it, must java programs are worthless on our phones since they were made for regular phones and not smartphones like ours
I have a .jar file on sd, but it doesn't read. Anyone know for what OS i have to download it for (ei: motorola razr)

/system is originally read only, you can't write files to it. It's for protection/security reasons. Run the following command, which remounts it as RW (read-write, instead of read only).
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

You don't need to do all this, I posted before that, go to getjar.com and find the j2me runner and install, it works the same and does work on cyan's roms
Put both files on root of sdcard.. and do this on terminal
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/jbed.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/libjbedvm.so /system/lib

Or download it from getjar.com like gridlock32404 said..

Chances are you will need to run a fully compliant j2me jad or jar file. as for a jad u need to make sure the jar file has the full path or else it will fail.
java apps made specifically for Blackberries and not for universal j2me devices will not work as well as most java apps for Symbian based Nokia phones and specific Ericsson models.
Also a lot of Nokia apps will not have properly built manifests but those u can go in and correct or build yourself and repack the jar
your best option for downloads are any Motorola or Samsung since 99% of them are purely java based with the exception of the few Win Mob

As hinted at in the other thread, the solution is to delete some stuff from your /system/ directory.
I deleted about 20 ringtones I never use from /system/media/audio/ringtones and then repeated the adb push command. Worked a treat.
So, I had facebook for android installed and recently update to cyanogens latest ad somehow it got deleted. Could have been a theme that removed it, as I didn't notice it until after I applied a theme. The icon was still on my home screen, but not in the app tray and the widget is gone.
Anyway I when into the market and it says its installed, its not and the option to uninstall or open is grayed out.
Any way to fix this?
In order to get it fixed for me I had to go into adb and
Code:
adb shell
rm -r /system/app/com.facebook.katana
rm -r /data/data/com.facebook.katana
exit
adp push Facebook.apk /system/sd/app
The app still didn't work but I was then able to uninstall it in the market and reinstall the market version and it has worked fine.

The reason you're getting that, is because it doesn't exist in that directory, try the second command, and see if it gives you the same error.
put the apk on sd and try this :
1. Open a Terminal Window:
2. Type the following:
- su
- mount /system -o remount,rw
- cd /sdcard
- cp "appname".apk /system/app

Got it! Thanks all for the help. Installed and working now.
something weird happened on my phone when I installed the SuperD 1.9.3 rom. I've never had this problem before, so see if you can help me. I installed Chompsms and Acontacts amongst a variety of other apps. Well, I was texting earlier, when my phone froze. No biggy, I popped the battery out, placed it back in, and turned it on. Well I got the green boxes in place of the the logos for Chomp and Acontacts. I clicked on them and it said that the apps weren't installed? um, ok. I have aps2sd with ext3, so I figure something must have corrupted the file, no biggy, I'll just redownload it. So I go to the market, and it says the program is installed. I click on the program to try to reinstall, and the bottom where it says "open, uninstall" are greyed out. So the app isn't installed, but it is, so I can't uninstall and re-install. Anyone, help please? I really use these 2 apps!
Delete the apk's from /system/sd/
It also sounds like your marketdb file is still there too. I've had this problem with Backup for root users. It'll import the marketdb but sometimes it won't import the APK's. So that leaves you with no apps and the market seeing that you already have it. I'm trying to find where the program is pulling that file, and i'll let you know. If anyone else knows where it's at feel free to jump in.

While Im still looking for that file, you could also do the following:
Code:
Use switchrom and save your rom
flash a new rom
download the apks that are giving you problems (if its not too many)
use linda to save the apks to your SD card
switchrom back to the old rom
download and use linda to install the apks you saved.
It's not pretty but it'll get the job done.
Had a little time to look at the phone, did you try to delete the folder in /data/data/com.android.vending/?
Goto terminal emulator.
Type - mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (enter)
Type - rm /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/* (enter)
Type - reboot (enter)

Hi guys,
sorry if my english isnt so good...
i'm in trouble with ADB..
i want to upgrade my swype keyboard on my NEW M1 rom eu....i got the 1.58 and i want to try the 1.60..
i found a thread on this forum with commands for upgrading the swype like this way:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
pm list packages -f | grep swype
rm /system/app/<restOfApkPathFoundInAboveCommand>
pm uninstall <value after apk= found in result of 2 commands above>
exit
Install normally. If you want the apk in the rom:
adb push <newSwype.apk> /system/app/<newSwype.apk>
adb remount
adb shell
pm install <newSwype.apk>
(found here-> LINK)
I'm stuck at the beginning:
Code:
C:\android\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
9000ec2a228b device
C:\android\tools>adb remount
remount failed: No such file or directory

Rooting doesn't automatically give you remount permissions AFAIK.
i just use this command
Code:
adb push test.txt /sdcard/test.txt
and the copy is ok....i found the file in the sgs sdcard...
The command adb remount is for the /system directory (for set write permission) .... i think it cant find the directory /system on the phone......why?!?!

adb remount as well
Trying to remap hard keys, adb remount along with push and pull do not work. Depending on whether im in shell or not I get no such file or directory or file not found errors. I can change into directory of each of the folders im trying to work with, and look at the file but I can't push it from my tools folder(locally) or pull it from the system folder. Every tutorial I see has adb remount command first, which fails every time.

I'm having the same issue here too. I'm trying to get a custom boot screen on my rooted Samsung Infuse and I've tried every way I can think of and it wont take. Clockworkmod says successfully installed, but its not. Soon as I reboot I see the At&T stock boot. I've fixed all of my permissions and still no luck.
So I saw a solution to do it via adb by typing "adb remount" and I get the same thing u guys are getting. I've got a headache now. Done all I could, even typing "shell", "su", that all goes well then when I tried to push it "adb push bootanimation.zip system/media" I get adb: not found. Smh, is it a device issue?

Check the Nook Color Portal at Nookdevs, look under adb. You have to add the NC id. Also if you did the 1.1 update you may have to into Nooktools/developer and check debuging.

Adb wireless is nice but what if you get stuck in a boot loop or can't boot at all or stuck in recovery? Adb wireless is nice to not have to deal with wires but you really should have adb over usb working just because you never know what might happen.
To the op what operating system are you using? http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB that should get you going. If adb works with you evo you probably just need to update the driver (if your running windows) for your nook

I agree, but the OP was needing help disabling the updates as he stated. Some of the batch files work ok, but have found often dont work out for me with 64 bit system. Hopefully he can at least disable the updates, then worry about proper adb.
