I tried and failed with Seesmic so far.
[INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]
Update:
Twitter and Tweetdeck also fail to install (didn't verify the error).
Update2:
Seems like others had noticed this before:
http://forum.samdroid.net/f38/cant-install-seesmic-after-kitchen-v2-1949/#post45656
I do have GMaps installed, though ...
Update3:
Figured out the problem.
Need to push the missing files:
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
Then reboot and it should be fixed (Twitter, Seesmic, Tweetdeck now install).
Update4:
It seems that this fix may apply to any app that used Google location services. (More useful than I thought )
Also see here (post 10) for the Quick Howto:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9657322&postcount=10
Update5:
Don't forget to remount the /system parition (else, you will get messages about read-only issues).
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

You can extract the necessary files from any of a number of GApps floating around (like this one):
http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip
That fix actually enables a whole slew of other apps -- basically all the things which wouldnt work because they lacked location services (i.e. all the good stuff). You should seriously post that in another post as a generic non-installing app fix.
I just got Parallel Kingdoms running, so my NC experience is complete.
quick how-to
remount rw so we can modify /system
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
copy over the two files from the zip:
Code:
adb push com.google.android.maps.xml /system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
adb push com.google.android.maps.jar /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
reboot the device
Code:
adb shell
reboot
This should be working, I've done very limited tests to confirm that it's accurate

Thanks for this. I have the two missing files, but can't figure out how to frame the push command. Can someone help please.
So weather apps and twitter apps are the main beneficiaries of this hack? Anything other noteworthy apps that come to mind?
Thanks for the step by step guide !!
This tutorial worked perfectly. Pushed the two files, rebooted, and Tweetdeck installed. Works like a charm. Thanks, folks!
Also, what gapps bundle did you get those out of, the one linked earlier in the thread? Going to try to push some more files out of it, try to get Gmail and Google Reader working.
I must be missing something. I just tried this and it responded with:
failed to copy <file> to <location> : Read-only file system
Do I need to do the superuser stuff first?

Any brave souls tried the new Market today?
Yes, I just tried it. It works! and it fixes the button problem in 2.2.6.
I first tried one that did not work, but I've attached the one I did get to work. Just copy into /system/app, rename to Vending.apk, and change permissions.
Enjoy!

Or, you can just download and install it like any other apply. It'll install over the old Market no problem. It Indore you that it's a system apply, but works anyway.

The scrolling issue when you had to flip the NC in landscape is gone. But I find it a royal pain to switch between Paid, Free and Just In. For some reason the oval overlay trasfers the click on the app below and I end up opening that instead. I found that switching requires a rather precise click... something to think about Mr. Sergei. Well... maybe not for us free spirits
Thanks, I just installed it and it worked, straight from tapatalk app.

You can either add any missing files using the above code or just run the script and it will overwrite/replace everything. I have been mucking with files so hopefully everything required is included... I've left v1 attached just in case.
When downloading from the market sometimes it is very slow, sometimes very fast. There can also be a delay between when you click install and you see the download start. Be patient, if you click install again you will start a second download.

I just get FC's out of the framework and the market... Using the 02 version of the Nook Honey posted which adds sound... Something needs to change in the framework or such?
I updated to 1.1.0.

The Market is totally different. I used to only have a few apps in portrait, but in landscape I had more.
Now it all looks different but works great portrait or landscape.
Seems like I have many more apps available now.

No, I made the disk, booted into HC (2, with sound), plugged in USB cable, pushed/chmod'ed, rebooted. From there FC's on related items. Didn't do anything else at all.
I might mess with a bit more here later. I have it on two cards, one I put your files on, the other I didn't....
Weird.. Rebooted a few times and the FC's stopped, and then the market worked, google sync worked..
Then things went south again Okay, HC is cute, played with it, check! Back to the stock ROM.

I have enough confirmations that I can now confirm this is working, However the on screen controls appear not to be launching currently, but webtop launches.
What this mod does:
It removes the device ID string check from PortalApp, and enables the webtop option in DockService. Replacing these two apk files effectively allows the webtop to launch without proprietary hardware.

adb push PortalApp.apk /mnt/sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
Backup the original files:
Code:

ah jeeze... just noticed it's for the Verizon RAZR, will it by any chance work on a GSM version?
Just installed it, and on the bionic after connecting to the tv, the phone became a mouse. Here the screen goes black and doesn't respond to touch.
You on a Verizon device? Did the webtop or dock option list come up at all?
Yes, Verizon phone. Everything comes up great on the tv, The webtop option comes up on the list to choise from, when i hit webtop the tv comes on, the phone goes black, but no control of pointer at all.
That's a good sign at least. Did you install via the flash method or the adb method?
Flash. I flashed BigDX ics theme yesterday, maybe it has something to do with it, so restoring a nandroid backup of before and will flash the webtop hack again.
---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------
Nope. Same. Phone screen goes black, no control of pointer.
That sucks stevessvt, maybe try installing via adb instead and see what happens.
I really want to try it on my GSM RAZR... Don't know what the difference would be. Anyone...?
EDIT:
My stock DockService.apk is 109kb - odex is 173kb, the PortalApp.apk is 1.21mb - odex is 591kb
Can anyone confirm the Verizon file sizes for me?

You can change the permissions with Root Explorer: Long hold on each file, and set RW- R-- R--, and then reboot, that ought to go it.
As for the command for the adb method it might be "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" Where "/dev/block/mtdblock3" is replaced with the actual block device for /system. You can check this by just typing "mount" and looking at the entry for /system.

I'm trying to push files to /system via ADB. However I'm having problems (getting permission errors). I am running Eclipse 2.0.2, so yes, my phone is rooted, I have su and busybox.
Phone is connected to PC and is set as "USB Mass Storage".
USB Debugging is ON
Here is my CMD log:
Code:
C:\android-sdk\tools>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
I tried to remount and it failed
Code:
C:\android-sdk\tools>adb push C:\myfile.apk /system
failed to copy 'C:\myfile.apk' to
'/system/myfile.apk': Read-only file system
I tried to push, and got a READ-ONLY FILE SYSTEM error (keep this in mind)
Code:
C:\android-sdk\tools>adb shell
$ adb push C:\myfile.apk /system
adb push C:\myfile.apk /system
adb: permission denied
I try to push inside of ADB shell. Nothing again...
Code:
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
# exit
exit
I go into SU and attempt to remount the /system
Code:
$ adb push C:\myfile.apk /system
adb push C:\myfile.apk /system
adb: permission denied
$ exit
exit
I go back up to ADB shell and try to push again... same error as before
Code:
C:\android-sdk\tools>adb push C:\myfile.apk /system
failed to copy 'C:\myfile.apk' to '/system/myfile.apk': Permission denied
I go back to the main command line and try to push again. This time I get PERMISSION DENIED. This error is different than before.
Any help on the matter?
I've read about ro.secure needing to be set to 1, but I need to edit the boot.img in order to do this, correct? Does that require an unlocked bootloader? Is root ADB even possible on the DX2.
Thanks!
I am no expert (don't even know if i know enough to b called a newb) but maybe try a root explorer. I use es file explorer because it's free. In settings check root explorer and mount file system. I received similar errors and this solved my problem.

Make sure there are no spaces in the file path to your android-sdk folder. Can't say if this is your issue but its worth a shot as it has always caused weird problems with android development since day one.

Ro.secure is in your local.prop on the root of your phone. As far as your issue you have to reset permissions in order to push to /system. I saw that you were trying to do that but with no success. I believe I know what will help but I will have to find it and repost.

Ok look at the command lines at the bottom of the op. You are going to use adb shell. Follow that almost exactly but adjust according to your directories. Should go into adb shell, gain su permissions, mount /system rw, push your apk, then don't worry about remounting as ro, just reboot. Pay close attention to spaces.

Took me a few days to be able to getting around to trying this, but it didn't work :/ I'm still getting all of the same errors. The /system just doesn't seem to want to mount as RW (even though it is possible when using root explorer).
As for ro.secure in my local.prop, I'm able to edit this but it resets on reboot because (from what I've read) this is a file generated by the kernel
Anyone else have ideas?

I don't know anything bout adb
But I do know he created it for this reason
Check it out
It's prolly got the info you need

Thanks for that! It's not quite what I'm aiming to eventually do, but did give me more insight on how the whole adb/shell/su systems work. From inside of su, I was able to mount the /system as RW, however I'm only able to do this from inside of SU. I want to be able to do this from the initial CMD so that I can ADB PUSH from my computer to the phone.
Here's my latest log:
Code:
C:\android-sdk>adb shell
[[TRYING TO MOUNT FROM ADB SHELL]]
$ mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
[[TRYING TO MOUNT FROM ADB SHELL USING BUSYBOX]]
$ busybox mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
busybox mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
[[GO TO SU]]
$ su

So now the question is, how do I mount as R/W so I can use ADB push?
Wes
Maybe its because im tired but im confused as to why it wont let you push your files if you have remounted as rw. At that point it should be cake. You gained access to system by remounting it as rw successfully already.

Try:
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb push [filename] [destination]
adb reboot
the "adb remount" remounts the fs RW instead of the default RO.
I'm no expert in ADB, but I had run into the same issue as you and for me the fix was to go into ADB SHELL , then type SU to get SU access, then type exit twice to get out of shell completely. Then I tried pushing the APK and it worked fine with no read only errors.
This worked for me on my SGS2, could work for you ! Goodluck !
Come to IRC and I can help you with this. http://webchat.freenode.net Come to the #cm7dx2 channel. I'm usually there... Look for the nick(s) Moon|Work|(something), Moon|Home|(something), or MoonShadow-NM. If the (something) says Busy, I might not answer right away. If it says Away, I'm away from the keyboard and you won't receive a response until I return.
Ciao!
Any update
did you ever get this figured out? I'm having the same frustrations on mine. Mine won't install the 2.3.5 update due to it not recognizing the Quickoffice.apk and I'm trying to push the files manually, but I'm having no luck getting past the same you've posted here.

Do this
Sbf to 2.3.4
(or 2.3.3& take one ota To get to 2.3.4...however you want to do it..just be bone stock 2.3.4 )
Root your device.
BUT DO NOT USE ZERGRUSH TO ROOT
Use petes Motorola one click root method.
Then continue the process as normal from there on out.
Trust me in this. Zergrush root method is not playing nice with your /system partition, (if you notice during the root process it might say something like "making room in system,"= or "moving/deleting app to make room" something similar)
And when it does that, it's messing up how the update checks for untouched stock apps.
Let me know how it goes.
This solution has worked for COUNTLESS others so far, zergrush has always been the culprit when it comes to failing to find certain apk or system file that needs to be there for the update to install.

This won't work with Eclipse since it's not using 2nd init. I asked this question in the Eclipse forums and Nitro responded with the following:
Not without using 2nd init. All of that works due to being able to load its own init.rc which starts services and passes parameters, etc.. during boot time. It is possible to make a stock rom use 2nd init. CM9 will not even have root enabled by default. The only other way to push stuff is to enable root shell prior to pushing.

I know that CM7 allows using the adb remount, but that's because it's using 2nd init. I had also asked the question about why CM7 defaults to root shell when you adb shell into it and that's why he mentions how CM9 won't have root enabled by default.
The way I push to Eclipse is to run root explorer on my phone and mount the directory r/w. Then, I can use "adb push" to the phone.

I think I may have tried that in one of my iterations. Originally I had it rooted with One-Click and then I was having issues with the 2.3.5 OTA update (quickoffice.apk) and at this point I've SBF'ed and rooted it probably 5 times this week so far. Rooted with both One-click and zergRush at various times. Actually I think every time except this last time has been with one-click. So I don't think that has seemed to make a difference for me so far. I can try it again, but if there's any other advice to throw out in the mean time, I'll take it.
Alternatively, I may take the new phone (the first replacement they sent had 2.3.5 on it, but a bad menu key causing the phone to flip out), load Titanium Backup on it, backup all the system apps and restore them to my original phone. Worst case is I have to SBF it again. But that seems like a logical process since I will have two phones available.
I just play andorid device a few days, but My hdx7 is a little bricked because i deleted some system app. Now I can log in fire os, have adb, usb connected and internal storge, even i can operate device setting app, but i can't open the other app because i don't have a desktop.
I compare system/app folder with the same folder in the amazon bin, found that the folder lack of scores of app, but the other system folder is the same. So I hope can adb push app folder to the system folder, but the pemission denied. I try to remount or mount, it can't work.
if adb root, then "adbd cannot run as root in production builds.
if adb push apk to the app folder, then “permission denied".
if adb remount, then ”remount failed: Operation not permitted".
and I have try adb shell like that:
# su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# chmod 777 /system
# exit
it didn't work.
my hdx7 have rooted.
My Questions are:
1. If I could push the app folder to the system folder and reset to factory, is my hdx saved?
2. How to get the system folder rw in the situation?
thx for any prompt, although i am a rookie but i will try my best, i wish the adept can help me and will be enormously grateful. Sorry for my poor english.
It sounds to me that you had lost root.

But it didn't work, please see the attach, But I don't know why.
Sorry for that i'm rookie to andorid and ask so many questions.

Hmmm... It says you still have root (the prompt changed after "su")
I personally don't use ADB much. I have Root Explorer (grabbed it legally for free from Amazon ages ago) and Wifi Explorer Pro (same method) so I basically WiFi myself the files I need sideloaded then move them around on the device itself. But if you've lost launcher, you have deeper issues.
Have you tried ADB push any launcher? Or even a download store like 1Mobile or Aptoide?
ADB is basically a Linux shell debug into Android, so you need to learn some Unix shell commands. I'm sure you can find ADB guides with the basic commands, like "ls", "cp", and so on.
You need to check the directory and see if the system/app and other system directories are still there. This is one reason I only play with the copy of ROM I have (see Safestrap Recovery).
