For those like me who wanted CM6 mms.apk instead of the TW mms.apk
1. Download the attached file
2. Use either Root Explorer or Terminal Emulator.
3. Place the "mms.apk" on the root of your sdcard
For Root Explorer
1. Go to /system/app
2. Rename current Mms.apk to Mms.apkbak (Example)
3. Go to /sdcard
4. Press and long hold "mms.apk"
5. Select "Copy"
6. Go to /system/app
7. Select "Paste"
8. Enjoy
For Terminal Emulator
Put the attached file below on the root of your sd and installed using Terminal Emulator with these commands
su
mount -o remount rw /system
rm /system/app/Mms.apk
cd /sdcard
install /sdcard/mms.apk /system/app/mms.apk
Then Reboot
You can pull it from the onyx r3 files and use root explorer to overwrite the tw file.
Good idea....just did it.....thanks
Screenshot?
thanks for the detailed instructions worked like a charm
When I type in the commands, it says "install: not found". why is that?
also my messaging icon is now gone as well..what did i do wrong?
untermensch has posted one that works with the puzzle piece as well.
Messaging icon will be gone since it's a different apk.

Ok so I have rooted my Hero and all is well. I've been trying to replace the sound files in system/media/audio/ui where the keyboard sounds are. I find that I cannot move a file into that folder, or apparently any of those folders. When I try to paste a copied or cut file using root explorer into the ui folder, the file just doesn't appear.
Why is this?

have you tried with and without file extention?
Yes. Root explorer just won't let me move any files around in the phone memory. Do I have to do it using adb?
I have a feeling its Root Explorer not working properly in Hero.
I could do this easily on my magic, but I get the same thing - looks like its copied the file, but when I paste, nothing happens at all.
I did manage to delete the Stocks app. from the device (don't use it or need it) using root explorer but other attempts to copy and pasdte have failed.
I have however managed to successfully use Astro File Manager to copy a wallpaper file from the device memory and paste to the SDcard. Will explore Astro a little further and see if it can do more on the device.

Phew, not just me being thick then....
I spent most of today trying to backup an .apk from /data/app-private to /sdcard. No luck with Root Explorer, adb pull or a 'cp' from the shell. "Remote file does not exist" was the result of the last two, but it's displayed by ls.
I think anything in app-private is a no go anyway as it contains copy protected apps. With regard to astro - it can copy from device in certain locations, and paste to sd to back up, but it can't delete from the device, and it can't copy or move files to the device.

Hmm, thanks Daisy. Will get on to the app's developer, as it was his advice to gain the ability to change location settings that I tried to follow.

Unless you made other changes than rooting, the /system partition is mounted read-only by default. As far as I know, you'll have to follow one of the root guides to mount it read-write (like you probably did to get /system/bin/su in place) and then do whatever changes you'd like.
Personally, I got tired of the boot audio real fast, so I changed useAudio in /system/media/boot_animation.xml from "1" to "0". Ahh, blessed boot silence...

this isnt really development related and should be posted in the android general section.
Do you have ABD setup? Or droid explorer?
If you have ADB setup, drop the browser.apk into your working tools folder then shift+right click on the tools folder, select open command prompt here and type the following (assuming your on windblows)
adb shell mount -o remount rw /system
adb push exactname.apk /system/app
adb shell reboot
Sorry for posting it to wrong section. I do not have ADB. I tried droid explorer but it did not work for my HD2.
what do you mean by it didnt work for you? Did it give an error?
I have windows 7 and I cannot install it. There seems to be some issue with droid explorer.
alright, I dont use droid explorer myself so not real sure..but all it does is gives you an interface for adb. Are you on windows 32 or 64 bit?
I am on Windows 64 bit. I got the old version working but When i connect my HD2 (in android), it does not recognize any devices. Thanks for helping.
Assuming your on windows 32 bit
go to this location
C:\Program Files\Droid Explorer\SDK
you should have a tools folder in the SDK folder?
If so, drop your apk into it and go back to the SDK directory. Then hold ****, and right click on the tools folder, open command prompt window here When it opens type in
adb devices
If that lists a number your good to go
type in
adb shell mount -o remount rw /system
adb push exactname.apk /system/app
adb shell reboot
EDIT : you posted as I was lol, Droid Explorer installs the same so the above commands should work.

Install by copying to /data/local. Full instructions from fone_fanatic:

3 Options to install.
First step: Extract downloaded .zip file to reveal "bootanimation.zip"
1. ADB
Navigate to the folder containing "bootanimation.zip" in terminal/command prompt.
Type the following
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /Data/Local
Then to test, set your device so display is in landscape (will not display properly if you have it on portrait and test it but will display fine either way on boot)
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
2. Root Explorer
Copy "bootanimation.zip" to your SD card
On your Streak open up Root Explorer (or any other app that allows you to copy paste to the internal memory)
Copy "bootanimation.zip" and paste it to /Data/Local
3. Terminal Emulator
thanks nickshertzer, his directions are for drop box but can easily be manipulated for simply copying the bootanimation.zip to your SDcard
nickshertzer said:
BTW, if you don't have / want to get out that sync cable for ADB, use dropbox & Terminal Emulator. Make sure you download the .zip using dropbox longpress first before running following command (requires Busybox / can't remember if it is installed default on Steve's ROM)
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/dropbox/bootanimation.zip /data/local/

Theres a new version of the Swype beta that is IMMENSELY better than the preloaded swype that comes with the atrix, it literally fixes all the annoying things of the older Swype versions:
http://beta.swype.com/
Swype 3.x beta works with the method below!
Process:
1) Use Root Explorer/Terminal/ADB to backup and then delete Swype.apk from /system/app and libSwypecore.so from /System/lib
2) Download the installer from https://beta.swype.com/android/get/ (on your phone)
3) Use installer to login and install latest version of swype
After your first phone reboot, if you are experiencing Swype Force closes after installing the latest swype, uninstall swype from your phone and then reinstall it; it should no longer force close after reboot.
If you are still experiencing force crashing after reinstall, try wiping your dalvik cache within CWM. Thanks Dudeman Broguy.
If you want to get in the latest beta, sign up over here. Registrations are open right now, hurry before they close them again!
Thanks to playin4sheezy for figuring this out: post #12
yes, i have been using it all day and it looks and feels great! if you have sideloading enabled, when you start the install it will ask to over write the current one.

Im trying to use the installer and it tells me to disable swype, and you cant disable the built in one. Can you pm me the apk?
Yea, I get to the point where it says "Licensing Swype, please wait...." and it doesn't get past that.
You need to go into /system/app and move Swype.apk to a backup folder on /mnt/sdcard
Then go into /system/lib and do the same for libSwypeCore.so
Give it a reboot and then try to install the beta. It worked for me
How did you move the apk, it wont allow me to do so

you have to use root explorer (and be rooted) or you could use terminal/adb (still have to be rooted)
Sorry for the noob questions! Move it completely? or make a back up of it? and also any apps out there like root explorer but free ?
I tried the above steps but the libswypecore is still in the system folder when i move it as it is read only...

If youre rooted, root explorer is worth the money. You have to move Swype.apk completely, and make sure its not there after moving or the install wont work.
Make sure if you are in Root Explorer that you click the R/W button at the top to make the system folder Read/Write access. Then long press the files and click move and goto sdcard and make a folder named "whatever you want" then click paste..
Or you could do this using adb with Atrix plugged into the computer:
goto command prompt
type the following:
adb shell
su
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp /system/app/Swype.apk /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup
cp /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup
rm /system/app/Swype.apk
rm /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
Hopefully this gets you going

Is your phone rooted? If so, then when you typed su in adb shell(not terminal) did it ask you for superuser permission? If so, then you should make sure and accept it.
If your phone is not rooted, then I don't think your gonna get this working

I would suggest someone testing that you can in fact put it back to the stock setup. Mine somehow got deleted when i first got the phone, and it doesn't come back, factory reset or otherwise.

i have been messing with swype for the last few days
i can guarentte you that if u installed / mounted a messed up version of swype (WVGA with a language pack in my case), you can just use put the backup stock swype back on /system/app and it'll be fine again
i get an error on sign-in into the installer, says device id dont match. any ideas?
EDIT: I had to log into mySwype and remove my old phone (nexus one) and then now it works!
okey so i read slade87´s thread on how to get mutitouch on peria mini the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064558
and the truth is i dont understand how to do it so if anyone that knows how to do it then pleas tell me as most detailed as possible
thank you and forgive my ignorence
I would like to help you. Which point you don´t understand?
You must have a ROM which included the kernel "M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015"
For example "X10 Mini Froyo [ROM] MiniCM6-1.0.0-RC2, Froyo Cyanogen 6.1.3" (you can find it in google).
How to get root: (i know it´s not so easy but this is the easiest i found)
1. Download: exploid_x10mini.zip - download and extract the archive...
You will need ADB from Android SDK and USB drivers for X10 mini (part of Sony Ericsson PC Companion).
Enable USB debugging on the phone in Settings>Applications>Development and connect the phone to PC via USB. Reboot your system.
Add the Power Control widget to your active widgets on the phone, so you can quickly turn off and on the wi-fi function.
From the command line (on windows it's cmd.exe):
cd c:\exploid_x10mini (or another folder where you've extracted the files from exploid_x10mini.zip)
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid
adb push busybox /sqlite_stmt_journals/busybox
adb shell
cd sqlite_stmt_journals
chmod 755 exploid
chmod 755 busybox
Immediately after the next command, you will need to disable and enable the wi-fi using the power widget on the phone:
./exploid
then run:
rootshell
enter password rootnow
prompt will change to # - now we have root
./busybox cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/
./busybox cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/
./busybox cp busybox /system/bin/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
rm /system/bin/rootshell
exit - out of rootshell
exit - out of adb shell
Now you can follow the instructions.
To open a shell you need "Android Terminal Emulator". You can find it in Android Market.
Please keep in mind that i just searched for this instruction to help you. I´m not responsible if you brick your phone. Good luck!
nice i didnt knew the possible...
