Can someone post a system dump. I'm particularly interested in the foursquare app that is Honeycomb optimized and bundled only with this model.
Thanks in advance.
I will second the request for a system dump.

Has anyone tried?:
"install the android SDK (developers.android.com)
start CMD
type in "cd c:\PATH_TO_YOUR_SDK\tools (<-- so there's a tools folder inside the sdk folder)
on your phone: Setting -> Applications -> Developer -> USB Debug Mode (dunno how its spelled correctly)
connect your phone with your pc
let windows find your phone
back to cmd console: adb pull /system
the full system dump shall be in YOUR_SDK_FOLDER\tools\system"
Last I knew there was no need for root to do this....

You can still pull without root as long as you have adb setup...
but an easy way for people who don't have that is to simply download a file browser from the market, like say 'AndExplorer' navigate to the /system/app directory and copy out any apps you may want to your internal storage 'sdcard' then either email to yourself to post here or connect to your computer and get the files that way.. I too would like to have the crackle and 4square app, so if someone could do this that would be great!!

Cant attach the .apk because I simply deleted it from my tablet. Found this on the market, should be the same:

I didn't see a thread for this anywhere and it's not included in the rooting documentation so i figured I'd make one.
This will allow you to install apk files directly from the device, no need to adb them over. Just get the apk from the web or whatever source you want and install. Of course this is all assuming you have completed the current root process and have adb access already.
Thanks to godsfilth for finding these directions for the origninal nook.
1. Open a command prompt and navigate to your sdk tools folder
2. Run the following commands
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite> update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';
sqlite> .q
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
3. Reboot
4. Install apps from NC without ADB.
You might have to restart your homescreen for the apps to show up, but i've had sucess with every app i've tried that is known working on the NC.
This was done on a Windows 7 x64 machine, although i'm sure it's the same or similiar for Linux and MUC OSx.
Also, sqlite3.exe was already in my sdk tools folder, if it's not for you then you can download from here.
Yep, and you can ADB install a file manager app, then just use the file manager to install anything else, from the SD card.

So...the nook doesn't stop apps from deing installed if Iinstall them manger astro file Manger?
What is the command in sqllite to see if the db entry has been changed?
I copied & pasted your commands and after a reboot still get "Can't install downloaded apk"
I did the same - even adapted the commands because the folder name wasn't the same, etc.
However, I'm trying to use SlideMe to install APKs and it keeps coming up with "Install Blocked" - any ideas?

Once you enable this it will allow you to install the apps, it doesn't have anything to do with astro per se. You can just use astro to navigate to apks stored on your sd card. I use estrongs file manager myself and have installed apks from my sd card, dropbox and downloads from dolphin browser hd.
I'm getting the same error as everyone else.
I made the edits per your first post and pushed the file back to the NC. Then I rebooted. Placed an apk in the NC and tried to open it using Root Explorer. I try to install it and I get the "Installation of donwload apks is not supported" error.

Slideme works perfect for me so you did something wrong. Not sure what though, I would just redo it.

just use
Code:
sqlite3 settings.db ".dump"
and then scroll down and look for INSERT INTO "secure" VALUES(4,'install_non_market_apps','1'); you want a 1 there at the end.

look in your tools folder for the settings.db file and check the modified by time and make sure the change you are making is made.
To clarify if there's a misunderstanding the path info and text before the > in the commands is just what you would see in your command prompt. the actual commands are after the >. These are the actual commands.
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
sqlite3 settings.db
update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';
.q
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
What command did you have to alter?
also, maybe try
Code:
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
to push... I didn't have any problem with the other command and both appear to work for me.
Oh none, your commands worked awesomely, I just had to yank the folder designations that were there, which you've now done for everyone, so thanks!
I think it might be a problem somewhere else, I'm re-doing everything right now, I'll let everyone know
Ran these commands again with the additional adb push and still no dice. I checked to see that the db entry had been updated and it correctly has the install non market apps set to 1. I'm using root explorer as well I'll try estrongs as you have. Thanks for the help.

Confirmed now that SlideMe is not the issue - the settings are all correct on the PC, I can't confirm these settings for the NC. I tried re-adb-pushing and still no cigar here either. I'm getting app rejections from any source, downloaded on the NC and the SD card. Any idea what could be wrong?
Ok, definitely isolated the problem now.
I pull the settings from the NC, modify them, and everything works great, then it refuses to push it back, but says it succeeds, or something to this effect, because whenever I pull the file back from the NC, it says value=0

Not sure, I've got it working using this method on 3 different NCs myself. The only thing i can think of is that i had already installed estrongs file manager and a few other games before doing it. Maybe try using adb to install estrongs or astro and see if it will let you then.
estrongs i'm using: www mediafire com ?sxw6adfzvyp250m
astro: www mediafire com ?05scsbrnx2wfw4v

Thanks for the file links - I'll give them a try, I really think the problem though is that the NC keeps resetting the value I push back for the non-market apps. I have no idea why it's doing this...

try pulling it back right after pushing the modified one, before rebooting, and see if it's even pushing correctly at all. If it is then being reset on reboot i don't know what the issue is.
Novaglarion, I am not able to do it either.
When you say "reboot", is that the same as power off and on?

make sure you're pushing the modified db file to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases not to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings
it needs to be in the databases folder so it overwrites the original

Watch my ATRIX Rooting video but instead of doing the root process, only try the enable non-market apps button. I'm not sure if you can do this though. Rooting is easily reversible. You should just root anyhow IMO.
Have you tried the Sideloader Wonder Machine yet?
You can you the android SDK and ADB to install it. Just install the SDK, put the app in the tools folder, open a command line, navigate to the tools folder, and type "adb install XXX.apk" where XXX is the name of the file

Download the "Sideload Wonder Machine". It will allow you to sideload without rooting.
I believe that droid explorer would be the easiest way? Correct me if I'm wrong. Not sure if it works with this phone though??
Does anyone have the APK for the AT&T Hotspot App (WISPr46_Android22_signed.apk)? This is the one thing I miss most about the FR008 ROM - having the Aria automatically connect to AT&T hotspots. I know I can use the web form, but it's a pain in the rear.
Thanks in advance.

Go to this thread and download one of the rooted AT&T ROMs, unzip it and pull the apk out.
Found the APK in the most recent 2.2.2 ROM from Gene Poole. Pulled it out and copied it to the Aria. "Application not installed". Oh well. Thanks though!

How did you copy it to the phone? If you boot into recovery and mount /system as Read/Write, then you should be able to type "adb push [name of hotspot].apk /system/app.
I just ran Astro to browse to the APK, then let its app manager do its thing. Being a novice, I appreciate the more detailed instructions. I'll give that a try if I can follow that.

Assuming you have the adb tools installed on your PC (you probably do if you have rooted your phone):
1. Reboot the phone into ClockworkMod recovery. Make sure you do not have the USB cable connected at this point.
2. Select the "mounts and storage" option.
3. Select the "mount /system" option.
4. On your PC open a command window and set your working directory to your "adb\tools" directory.
5. Plug your phone into the USB cable.
6. In the command window type "adb devices". It should respond to with your device name.
7. Copy the WISPr46_Android22_signed.apk to the adb\tools directory.
8. In the command window type: adb push WISPr46_Android22_signed.apk /system/app
9. On the phone select "unmount /system"
10. Unplug the phone.
11. Reboot the phone.
I needed to install the tools, but after that everything went smoothly. However, I don't see the process running, and the icon does not exist. There is an .ODEX file for this package as well; do I need to do anything with that? Or do anything special after the phone rebooted?

Yes you need to push the ODEX file too. That is probably why you got "Application not installed" the first time when you tried it through Astro.
Still no love. I pushed both files over, followed the instructions, and it does not appear to be there. Also tried using Astro again just for good measure (with the ODEX file in the same location as the APK), same message. I guess this package just will not install on this ROM.
I appreciate the help - if nothing else I've learned a lot about how the system works!
I'm looking at potentially flashing Gene Poole's 2.2.2 ROM over FR008 anyway, which should put this app back in place in the process, so we'll see.
Thanks again!
Update to this thread:
After upgrading my phone to the latest 2.2.2 ROM from Gene Poole (hoxnet 005b) I was able to successfully install this app using the method described above. The 005b ROM does not include the APK anymore though, so if you want this you'll need to snag it from an older ROM.
hi
im very new in the forum thats my first post
i tried to install an app that required a rebbot in my gt-i9300, i rebooted and i got an pop-up window said that factory mode has crashed.
i searched for days in the internet and i found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204&page=53
i did all but my galaxy says that its unable to chmod /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode: no such file or directory
then i realised that i have no efs directory and that i can download one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888193
so' my question is,
if i will flash it with odin, will the error will dissapear?
and if the answer is yes,
i understand that some people flash it because they have no imei and the phone dont recognize their sim card.
and my fear it can happen to me if ill flash it

Well, obviously you can. That's what an efs backup is for
Copy the tar file to your PC and download the Android SDK.
Once the Android SDK is installed, open up a command prompt.
Once you're in the command prompt, CD to the directory where the ADB executables and libraries are.
Usually it's here:
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools\
Once you're in the directory where the files are, unpack the TAR file and type the following code:
Code:
adb start-server
adb push <path-to-your-unpacked-TARfile> /efs/
adb kill-server
If you need further assistance, feel free to PM or email me
Hope I could help!

I believe you'll also need to change files owners and access rights for it to work.
Edit : if you don't have any efs folder, I think your efs partition might not be mounted. Type "mount" in a terminal emulator and check if a line refers to /efs (that should be block 3)

Check out the links in my description. (Win8 help - ADB etc. etc. ...) that works with Windows Vista, 7 and 8. If you need the ADB binaries, in that same thread, you can donate a bit of money to me and I'll license you a program (Always with updated binaries) that installs ADB and fastboot to your system's root. With the click of a button
Lg
Edit: You can also download my universal Android tool kit and with the next update, all the Samsung Galaxy S III variants will be supported and you can easily backup/restore your /efs partition from there (With the Pro version, that is)

Hey guys,
I am trying to get the the "up-most" folder of my HTC Droid DNA. On the phone itself I can get to a folder titled "/" which I'm assuming is the root folder of the phone. I want to get into the "/data" partition on my PC to try to fix a game file that is loading incorrectly. But when I plug the phone into my PC all I can see is the internal storage folder. I tried to enable hidden folders as well but no such luck. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced!

You need to ADB pull it and do what you need to change and then ADB push it. However I would do only the folder like /data/Game-O-Pornstar or /data/com.your_game_name
So an example if I wanted to pull the /data/data folder I would run the command (go to android-sdk on your computer where you unlocked your phone and find platform tools or the folder that adb.exe is inside of. Hold shift, right click, choose "open command window here")
Assume first I made a new folder in platform tools and named it calculator.
"adb pull /data/data/com.android.calculator2 > C:\Android SDK\platform-tools\calculator"
It would put the contents of the com.android.calculator2 directory (folder) into my new folder that I created and called calculator. Then when I'm finished I would do the opposite to push it back
I was just trying to put the directions into more common language but here's the link to actually get the commands
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
There's an app called Droid Explorer for the PC that will do this with an interface but the program will often wreak havoc on your adb and fastboot drivers and services.
