any problem with our low resolution?
It's way too big taking up almost the whole screen, so layout needs to be adjusted.
It's certainly too big at times, but I'm quite happy with it as it's now.
Thanks for the useful information.
When I try to flash It, it say: Installation aborted
What I wrong??
The easiest way is to install it manually with adb.
what about latest gingerbread maps with 3d view ?
can we have it on this device ?
i know we don't care at all about multi-touch, so what about a google earth way to turn the maps in 3d space ? can tattoo handle it ?
Not really sure. They said they're going to update maps soon. We'll have to wait and see.

Just uncompress the zip file in your computer. It'll extract quite a few things, but we only want the two files in the "system" folder.
First, remount the system partition on your phone as read-write (adb remount), then adb push the apk to /system/app to your device, then the lib to /system/lib on your device.
Not sure about the exact names of the files, but it should be something like:
adb push system/app/LatinIME.apk /system/app
adb push system/lib/libwhatever.so /system/lib
That should do it. You might want to make a backup of the old files, in case things go wrong.

Someone who has done the whole DI01 update, please dump their system for me, or just the framework folder, apparently the one given to me had the stock android lockscreen patch applied to it lol.
Aside from that, the DI01 deodex works perfect, I opt_png'ed and zip_align'ed all the apk's, as well as the framework-res and twframework-res.
I will also need someone who knows how to sign updater-scripts to open the one attached, and just save it again properly and upload it for me. I am trying to get a flashable CW zip but the darn thing always gives me a status 6 error, which means the CW cannot read the updater script.
Sorry for the n00b question, but what benifit does deodexing provide? Also if there is another software update will I have to readd any .apk's to my /system folder?
Why not just flash your own system back to stock, then run the update, then dump /system? If you'd like an update script that doesn't update modem.bin, I already have one.
Assuming you're updating via CWM, why are you signing the zip? You don't need any signature, just zip the file up.
Is there anything involved in a dump besides just copying the files in /system?

Because I am too lazy to go through all that.
I don't need it signed per say. More like opened, edited, and saved properly. It is said it is best to edit the update script in s Linux based environment which I don't have, but that notepad should suffice, yet when I save it with my notepad, I get the error of cw not being able to read it properly.
I have a fresh phone that just got the D101 update. Just need directions on what if anything is involved beyond just getting the /system directory via adb.

That is all I need. The only things I deodex are the contents of system/app and system/framework.

Try a real editor, like bluefish or something.. Those scripts look like sh#! in notepad.
If no one has done it by tonight, just grab me on IRC and I'll do it under Linux for you.
Make sure you've got the file/directory structure right too.. You can't just throw a script in a zip file, but I'm sure you knew that. Myself and and a few others had the wrong directory structure at first, don't remember what error number that gave us though.. I think it just froze.
OK, how can I get it to you? I can't post links or (I think) files yet.

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.
I'm trying to get one of these keyboards http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754948 on my TB. I'm getting that lovely script error when trying to install it via CWR. Anyone know if this is possible? I'm really not liking the stock keyboard on the TB, its not large enough.
Its a scripting issue....the new CWR doesn't allow the old updater script...I have been looking all over the place for a solution and keep coming up empty...if you find one, let me know and I'll do the same!
This probably should have been in general. Just use adb or root explorer instead since those use the old script.

You don't install zips through adb....you "push" the necessary files to the phone, the zip is just an automated way to do it. Everyone with a rooted phone should have some common knowledge of adb commands....there are some great tutorials out there...I'm no genius in adb but I dabble. Good luck!

I uninstalled the Protips.apk without doing a backup first and now need to restore it so the OTA update completes. I have the file from another Photon but how do I go about getting it installed? I moved it to /system/app/ with Root Explorer but it won't install.
Do I need to push it with adb? If it somehow needs to be re-signed I'm not sure how to sign w/system signatures.
What steps can I use to complete this?
Thanks.
download the cm5 from yays thread in the dev section and then using 7zip (providing you are using windows) take everything out except protips app and flash it through recovery
If it will flash via recovery and work then would there be a reason why I can't push it via adb? The file that was sent to me should still have the original signature attached correct?
I was trying to avoid unlocking the bootloader and having to install custom recovery.

I pushed it but not sure about the sync command. Do I need to use "adb sync /system/app/"? It is asking me for a directory but don't know what I am supposed to be syncing.
**EDIT...NM. I need to know the exact syntax for the adb sync command I need to use. Nothing is working. Also, I do not have permission to run the remount command. Does this mean the system may still be read only?
Thanks.

Okay try this.
1st put the protips.apk on your sd card then
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp /sdcard/protips.apk /system/app
sync
reboot
this should work
You know do don't actually install the apk. Just drop it in the system/app folder in reboot.
Perhaps I misunderstood your problem.

Yes. However it seems the Protips.apk I have might not be signed properly because it never installs upon reboot. So I was trying to find a way to make this work.

Tried it. All commands went through without issue. After reboot I tried doing the update but when it scans for existing files it still stops at 30%. It is still either not finding Protips.apk or there is something wrong with the file I have. A friend of mine emailed to me in an attachment. Don't know of any other way to get it without knowing how to properly extract an sbf file. Maybe if someone has a TB backup of it and could send to me? Then I could try restoring it. Not sure if something like that would be worth a try.

I am not sure. this thread has the ota as an sbf. I saw in another thread you were worried about having to reactivate again. The phone will program over the air you won't have an issue at all. I wish I could help you get protips installed correctly but I am still finding my way around moto. I guess that the mount command we used could be wrong. Not sure :/

Yes. I deleted Protips.apk after rooting and didn't make a backup. The update errors every time because of that file not being installed it seems. Do you think that leaked OTA would restore the missing apk?

This leak is the same as the OTA. The only difference between installing this and downloading the OTA is having to reset everything up.

Just to be sure you have no way to reflash any firmware?
Else try to connect your tab to your computer and use adb even if your system bootloop. Try to install adb and push your missing files.
I doubt that there are no firmwares to download.
If they havr used the same boot like archos. The mount of the sdcard depend of the initramfs (ramdisk) not the OS.

It's not in a boot loop it just hangs at "bootanimation" (If you'd call it that I know I wouldn't) and wham stays like this forever.
Oh and another problem.
Code:
adb shell
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed no such file or directory (2) -
Can't push files from recovery because I need to mount /system. I can't do that because adb shell isn't working.
