I flashed the new 2.2 obidian last night and I find I need to flash or push or install an apk for the calendar so it will sync. I have placed the apk on the root of the internal sd and have tried to install etc with astro and with Root explorer to no avail it just said not installed. Is there a way to move it or copy it to systems/apps? I know nothing about adb and am confused by what I have read about it. In the thread for Obedian it was mentioned using astro or root explorer to push it to systems/apps but did not say how it could be done. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone!
I am trying to install the Vanilla Mms.apk I downloaded from this forum
I Am running VanillaRom from GrdLock.. So.. I have root
When I try to "adb remount" so I can push this file..
"adb remount operation not permitted" .. So I am unable to get to the "Push" command
Also tried using Astro File Manager .. -dr file permissions on the /system/app folder not letting me copy paste the Mms.apk file..
What Am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help
Do you have root explorer? Maybe you would have better luck with that. You could probably remove the one your rom comes with under /system/app and place the new .apk onto your sd and move it to /system/app. That's what I usually do when adb doesn't work for me.
I downloaded an awesome app called Ghost commander. It Required superuser rights and it was able to remount, copy to system/app. Then I remounted it & rebooted it, installed it, and it worked.

I have deleted new market to get back old market, and I followd this procedure:
Code:
Procedure to use
Make copy of both downloaded files in your SD card.
Mount system as RW and delete the files name “Vending.APK” and “MarketUpdater.APK” from /system/app by the help of file explorer/Root explorer app.
Also do it manually by deleting the folders com.android.vending and com.android.vending.updater in /data/data.
Now reboot the phone.
Now again mount your file system as RW by File explorer/Root explorer.
Now after it copy the downloaded file “updater.apk” in /system/app/ from SD card.
Reboot the phone again.
Again mount your file system as RW by the help of explorer apps after restart.
Copy the downloaded file “market.apk” in /system/app/ from SD card.
Reboot the phone again.
That’s all.
But now I can't run market anymore, after hard reset I have these mesage from:
(process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly
now I can't install any version of market, please help
i think u forgot to give proper permission to the file. those step also didnt mention about it. improper permission for any file in /system/app folder can even resulting to bootloop.
Also, to get back old market, just uninstall market updates, start the market, then when it can run immediately go to titanium backup to freeze market updater. In my experience even mounting correct permissions may not work for some provided market apks.
Thanks for your answer, i dolved the problem with flashing to 2.3.4

Search xda for the market. It's in the themes and app section. Install in like a normal app.
@consegregate thanks for your help, I will search it
Am trying to fix the ES File Explorer Root access issues by following the steps posted by Joker Fuel in one of the TP forum.
I cant get to delete the current apk under /system/app using any of the File Explorers. How do i get this file deleted ? Any help.
This is what am trying to accomplish:
OK guys, for u guys that are having issues Using ES File Explorer Root permission.
The Root does not work while the app is in /system/app.
so to get it working, u must delete the com.estrongs.android.pop-1.apk
couple ways to do it. u can download a free file explorer off the market and delete the file under /system/app
---------------------------------
reboot your new BUTTAH
download ES from the market
If I am understanding what you want to do correctly you need to remount /system as read/write so you can remove the file.
There are many ways to do this. I like to use RomToolbox, available on the market. Once installed you can open up "Scripter" and there will be a couple of pre-defined scripts, one to remote System is Read/Write.
After you run that script you can jump to the Root browser, one button above, and delete what you need from the /system/app directory.
Remember to remount your /system as Read-Only using the other script, or reboot when your done. It is a bit dangerous to leave it as Read/Write. Better safe than sorry
Thanks. gonna give it a try !
Titanium Backup works on Buttah. Downloaded through market. Then I was able to pull ES through that. Then re-install through market. Now root access and mountable system.
I just unlocked the bootloader on my Atrix 4g, I followed this guide-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
It all seemed to go as it should, bootloader unlocked, romracer installed, but i dont seem to have root access.
Im failing at this point-
DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS PART: After the install of RomRacers recovery boot up your phone. Open up your favourite file browser (I used Astro file manager to do this ) and navigate to /system/etc/ and delete the file called 'install-recovery.sh'
I downloaded Astro file manager and it doesnt see the files, so I downloaded this-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&hl=en
With rom toolbox I am able to find the files but not change the name or delete them.
What should I do next?
Use root explorer (paid) or es explorer (free). Those two are the only ones I've found that work to delete/move/copy files.

These are fine. I prefer Total Commander. However, none will work unless you mount your desired directory with R/W permissions. Every file manager with root permissions will have that option.
I downloaded es file explorer, had to go into the apps setting-root settings and tick upto root for it to let me see the files, i then tried to rename the file and it says operation failed,
can you suggest anything else?

Thanks, I just had a quick read about read write permissions and I dont have write permission, so im not rooted,
My phone tells me that im unlocked when its booting, so thats the bootlocker, but i need root to alter permissions to rename files, and i cant get root without renaming the files.
Is that right?
Does any body know if i can just use steps 2 and 3 of this guide instead?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202883
its for at&t so do i risk bricking the phone?
or is the risk of bricking step 1, unlocking the bootloader?
Hi,
I'm using the last Envi-ROM based in stock 23.0.1.A.0.167 and I would like to disable the charger plugged in notification so I tried to remove ChargerPluggedIn.ogg from /system/media/audio/ui but it says that it's an only read file and I can't do it. I'm root and I tried with RootExplorer, ES File Explorer, ADB (mv, chmod,...) but I'm not able to change the permissions neither the file nor /system folder.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance
So i just changed the permissions of that file with rom toolbox lite to 777 without issues. I also moved it up a directory without issue. Maybe try that app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...+lite&pcampaignid=APPU_EaWoVMe9Nce7mwWlnILYCw)
If you still have issues why don't you backup your phone and redownload envi-rom zip. Open the zip and navigate to the file and delete it. Then install that moded zip file and restore your data from the backup?
You can try to remove this file via file explorer in recovery, like for example aroma explorer.

Nope no good. Could only see /system/bin/ no other directories.
Thanks a lot for your comments. I tried toolbox with the same result as the previous tries. With aroma explorer I can only access to /system/bin/. So no luck for the moment. It seems that the only solution is install again the ROM without the file, but I still looking for other alternatives first.
