Getting apps from computer to Vibrant? - Vibrant Themes and Apps

Im getting the Vibrant on Thursaday and I found a few app packs online that I have downloaded to my computer. I wanted to know how I can transfer them to my phone. Do they need to be in a certain folder? Can I just hook it up to my USB cable? Thanks!

Use the adb install command. It's really easy.

Or you could use astro file manager if your not familiar with adb.
Feeling Vibrant on xda-app

Just plug your phone into your computer, throw the APKs onto one of the memory cards, then go into the file manager that came with the phone and run the APKs.

If he's on XDA and plans to mod his phone, he's gonna have to learn ADB eventually. Better to jump right in it and get it out the way now. ABD install is probably one of, if not, the simplest command. Let's not baby new folks just because they're new.

I dont plan to mod my phone. I just would like to know how to add new wallpapers and widgets from my laptop to my phone.

Just copy the apk files to the sdcard then use the file manager to install them.

Lol, I try to stay away from ADB as much as I can. I always go for the easiest way out.

90% of the time, ADB is the easiest way out. Especially in the case of having multiple apk installs. adb install *.apk will do them ALL at once instead of having to do it one by one.

use this program:

I would like to point out that to get your Mac to recognize the phone as a USB device USB Debugging needs to be enabled.
Dont ask me, I dont know why, it just does.
Maybe it just mine though. Anyone else?

Gee thanks. I haven't read and/or tried that over 100 times in the last few days.
I'm way beyond that and have gotten it to mount via terminal, which STILL doesn't show up as a mounted drive when I do a df, but I can moves files to it so I guess it *KINDA* works for now.

OK then sassy pants!

Rooting a mytouch without usb connection

Hey guys, so ive been trying to root my mytouch 3g slide, however there is something wrong with my micro usb port, it accepts a charge however it does not accept data no matter what cable or computer i hook it up with.
How would i go about rooting this thing without adb?
i tried to figure it out myself, however i couldnt find the sql_lite_stmt folder or whatever with a file manager app and the main method lists exploid MUST be executed from that folder.
What do you guys think i should do?
Thanks for the help.
Download super one click on your computer and run it. Plug in your phone, set it to charge only and hit "shell root". Download mt3s rooter and run it AFTER the shell root is over. Close super one click. It will then tell you the rest of the directions.

The only problem with doing that is my phones USB is broken and doesnt transfer data. I need to copy the jailbreak files to the phone then execute them via terminal or file manager or something.
You're going to have to manually download and push the exploid through terminal on your phone. you also need to dl the epimg, cm mod and rename cm mod to update.zip and put gapps on a seperate sd card and rename that to update.zip aswel

Thank you!
does exploid need to be executed from a specific folder?
"Issue the following command: adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals. Note: It MUST be in that directory - NO exceptions."
on my mytouch the folder sqlite_stmt_journals is either non existent or invisible to terminal and file managers.
will push still work if i cant see the folder?
Must exploid be executed from /sqlite_stmt_journals?
No you just have to push it to that folder, then you should be able to run it. Is your mt3gs under warranty?

so even though i cant see the folder i can still push to it?
No its way out of warranty, im not the original owner and i had to take it apart to replace the digitizer.
i just cant stand the stock rom anymore
EDIT: i tried to push exploid via terminal but it says
"Push: permission denied"
cp was also denied.
:/ im at a loss, i wish my magical techno fairy godmother would push me in the right direction
ouch man, i dont know what else you can do, umm did you try jiggling your cable around to get some kind of connection?

ok i thought of another way of you doing this,
get a usb micro sd reader, copy all your stuff over then format the microsd to fat32, get the esp3img and throw it on there,
then follow the steps to install cm7.
the oneclick temp root program that g2s use(i think its called zeus?!? I cant remember what i used on my wifes g2) might help you get the exploid to work w/o usb. If your still stuck after you should pm the dev for help, im not super familiar with the espresso and Im having trouble gaining access to r/w on the system
i think i need to instal ubuntu and get s-off

"My phone number" in About Phone==>Status

Hi, I've read a lot of threads about this and have found no feasible answer to this (at least for me). My Atrix 4G running android 2.3.4 on Blue Chronic firmware "HomeBase Mega4 - Gingerbread 2.3.4" shows a blank field in the "My phone number" section. I know that using a Sony Ericsson or an old Samsung phone will allow me to edit this on my sim card, however I do not have access to either of these types of phones. Has anybody found a way to edit this on the Atrix itself, either by using SQLite editor or even using Root Explorer's text editor? I can do it easily if I can just find the fields that need to be edited. Please help.
Any possible solutions will be much appreciated.
Also does anybody know where I can find the .apk files after an apps been installed, do they get saved to a folder on the phone like a computer's "Temporary Internet Files" folder when you just click "run" in the dialog box?

Download AppMonster, select the app you want the apk for, select backup. Use Root Explorer to navigate to sdcard/appmonster2/[the app you want]/rev/you will find the apk here
Thanks Pirate.
Now I still need the My phone number info, hopefully someone has that info....
You can edit the phone number using CM7
hmm, I have blue chronic right now, maybe I'll try to install CM7 again, last time I tried my phone soft bricked itself.. well, I soft bricked it...
Edit: Thanks for the tip though, I'll try it again...
Update: For some reason I am unable to install CM7. No clue why, I'll do a little research and try again. In the mean time if anyone has any other possible solutions, they would be much appreciated.
Still having trouble with this, if anyone has any roms other than CM7 that they would recommend that would be nice.

Just download the Rom Manager app from the market, it should let you know if your recovery is up to date and offer to update it for you if it isn't

You have to use the cd (change directory command) in your command prompt to get to where you fastboot program is so for example if its file path is c:/androidtools/fastboot.exe
you would have to open cmd and type
Code:
cd c:\androidtools\
and then you could run any fastboot commands from there
if you don't already have fastboot it's here

It's the same for me
I had that problem when I switched my carrier. I have not came across a ROM for it that allows SIM number change. If you dont have an issue installing this, use that to change your number, otherwise you might need to borrow someone's blackberry phone to do it, most of the BB's are known to be able to edit SIM numbers apparently.
I ended up digging out my old Acer Liquid E running CM7 based ROM which had the SIM number option and worked like a charm on my current SIM (it is the proper number now). But this option is no where to be found on the Atrix's CM7 ROMs

[Q] Need some help with my galaxy s 2 situation?

So ive had my galaxy s 2 for a few months now, downloaded hundreds of songs, taken near a thousand photos, and yesterday the digitizer/lcd was shattered after being sat on. I can't replace this phone, and my parents who own the contract didn't purchase insurance for it. I am nearly broke, and the repair costs for this part is over 200$, and my parents refuse to pay for this. All I need to do is copy all of the files from my phone to my computer, but i cannot enable mass storage to access the pictures/music on the internal storage because the screen is out. Does anyone have an idea as to how I could fix this, or move the files off of the phone? A thousand thanks to whoever could help me in this/:
1) Questions belong in Q&A.
2) You can probably pull the files off your phone using ADB on your PC despite the screen being broken, as long as the phone boots.
I'm not going to tell you how to do this because it is detailed, somewhat complicated & is a very steep learning curve if you've never done it before. Do a Google search with "broken phone backup files with ADB" with XDA appended to your search terms & you should get a veritable mountain of results (I did).
Unfortunately, if you're looking for an easy way to do this, there isn't one. It's going to take a fair bit of work on your part if you really want those files.
Good luck.

Yep. Absolutely.
I was trying to convey that using ADB tends to be a bit of a stretch for n00bs & requires a bit of thought/reading/effort. Plenty of people find it difficult to get their head around it, and I'm not about to answer 20 questions about the process.

THAT'S whatcha get for not having a backup of your SD card, which is just like having a backup of your PC's hard drive.
But yeah, your ONLY option to the best of my knowledge is to do an adb pull:
adb pull /sdcard/ "where these quotes are you put the name of the folder where you want all that stuff offloaded to"
So since you didn't research before you screwed up then you will have to research now to learn how to use adb and how to enable it without the phone being on
good luck newbie

As MB said, if you really want them it's going to be hard work.
3 other possible ways to do it:
1) Easiest way without adb - connect to your TV via HDMI/HML cable. You can now see your screen on the TV. If touch is somehow still working then copy the files from the internal card to an external one. If touch doesn't work, this won't help. Unless you already have Bluetooth on and have previously paired with a Bluetooth mouse.
2) Very messy way - If you've got a very good friend with an s2 who will allow you to swap motherboards over then copy your stuff to PC. Doubtful though.
3) Messy way - If you don't have an sd card or access to one, flash an ics rom like lpq with Odin. Yes I know you can't see the screen but boot into download mode using a jig or the 3 button method. Just hold them together for a while. Then flash once Odin detects the phone. You will lose your apps but music, pics etc will remain.
The reason I say ics is that when I was on it, it automatically displayed the sd cards on pc without me having to select / touch anything.
But I believe USB debugging may need to be activated, but not 100% sure. If not, your in luck.
If it does, connect via HDMI to your TV. That way you can see the screen and check the debugging option, assuming touch still works. Then connect to PC and copy/paste.

The best and efficient way is to flash a kernel with recovery that can mount your internal and external cards.
Just ask someone who uses similar kernel recovery to make note of the number of.key press and direction required to mount your SD via recovery and follow the same for your mobile and now you can copy all the files you wwant

Thanks everyone, I've used adb in the past with my nexus one. I just tried using it on my phone but it seems like my debugging isnt right so I cant use that. I have CWM flashed to the kernel (not sure if thatd make much of a difference??) Anything else i could possibly try out?

You can try doing it in recovery. But you'll probably need to mount the internal SD card before you can pull from it.
1. boot to recovery
2. plug in your phone, start adb shell
3. su (if you don't have the "#" prompt)
4. mount /emmc (if you are interested in what is on the internal SD card. /sdcard is your external SD card while you're in recovery)
At this point, /emmc should show your internal SD contents. You should be able to exit from the adb shell and do an adb pull on /emmc/<whatever folder>
EDIT: BTW, I just tested this on my phone. I have CWM recovery installed via Siyah, turned USB debugging off, rebooted to recovery, and did all this, and was able to pull multiple files off my internal SD.
why dont u just buy the parts cheap off ebay that u need ?? and install them urself ... if not ... ull hav to do as every1 else has said and pull those files :|

I'd recommend doing a Google search of adb and not try anything with it until you understand it. And you could try dvhexers version of faux's kernel to fix the sd card, but you should probably just use his fixed cm10 rom.

LG G8X Thinq(Sprint) adb shell

So i got the new G8X and have been trying desperatey to just access the system files to remove some bloatware.
Problem is it only gives me access from \User\0 and on. I tried to delete them through adb on windows but everytime i try and run adb shell the phone automatically disconnects.
I know i have all the updated drivers cause it recognizes the phone through windows and adb when i type adb devices
but as soon as i execute adb shell it disconnects. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Any sort of feedback would be greatly appreciated. i Have a 30 day return policy in effect if i cant gain access to any of that i plan on returning the phone.
Thanks for reading
Edit: Im dumb switching ports and usb cable resolved issue.
If anyone hears anything about root access please advise. Thanks all
I have had my phone on ADB and sending and reading data from it two nights in a row, I have not seen this problem at all. I can run adb shell no problem. Sorry! I know it's a stupid suggestion, but can you try a different USB cable/port on your PC?

What provider are you using?

The problem might be that if you run from power shell command, first type cmd and press enter.

I bought unlocked but i'm using it with T-Mobile and its getting WiFi calling and HD Voice and everything. Works really well and am getting good service/signal with it on T-Mobile.
Yeah, as suggested, I also used it in CMD and not in powershell…

As simple as your suggestion was it lets me command it through cmd now., switching the cable worked.
Still through the phone itself i cant access system directories. and its not like i cant change things it just flat out wont let me view them at all.
The end goal is to get root/custom recoveries so i can install magisk and xposed, if you hear anything let me know.And thanks again!

No problem! Glad that worked.
I can view system directories, and I read them as well. However, I definitely can't change anything and don't have write access either.
Will be open to suggestions/attempts in the future!

I use Solid Explorer. So, some of the files you can physically see in the explorer, but if you try to open it, the text is garbled. It was only after I started doing adb pull that I could actually see/read the files themselves.
