Hi all devs and xda people, since i cannot post on the dev forum i have to ask here...
[Q]: How Do i Install the New CWM without having xrecovery installed?
I just cleaned my phone by flashing it with SEUS, wich i normally do before i'm about to install a new rom, i just rooted my phone and installed the newest version of Root Explorer from market. Also have downloaded the CWM zip provided from the first post by D4rKn3sSyS at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106146
However, that zip contains two folders, not any single files that you just copied over to /system/bin like you did with xrecovery. so what am i suppsoed to do? wich files, where and what permission should they have?
CWM can be installed only manually using Root Explorer.
Extract files from bin folder in the zip and copy to respective folder with correct permissions (755).
It is missing one file (bin/charge) that can be found on xrecovery.zip file.
Another way is to install xRecovery Mini Pro .apk Unified Installer and after that use cwr_xrecinstall!

Could you tell me exactly what file that is missing? the xRecovery-minipro-0.1.1beta contains three files: busybox, chargemon and xrecovery.tar
I could assume that its the busyboxfile that is missing, but i really dont want to chance and take a risk.

i asked in few threads but seems people are not willing to answer this question, and in threads with roms whom includes custom themes, do not have instructions how to install. So how to do that?

Always search first post of specific thread for answers you will find your answer, or at least search your question before posting
you are not specific to your question
Q.1 Which Firmware are you using
Q.2 Is it Rooted
Q.3 what kind of theme is that (a CWM Flashable, xRecovery Flashable or Manual)
If you are using stock firmware then you will have to root, then you find a compatible theme and apply it according to the method provided by the theme maker
same applies to Custom ROM but they are already rooted and you might already have a recovery software installed
e.g
if its flashable by xRecovery you can go to xRecovery and flash it
if its flashable by CWM you can go to CWM and flash it
if you don't want to flash it go to Root Explorer copy that Framework-res.apk and replace it in system/framework directory and change permission to rw-r--r-- and reboot your device
and above all Backup your device before doing these because first time you might do it wrong and stuck up in boot loop
im using cm mini 7 v20 for rooted mini pro, i dont know if themes are flashable or not, they dont write that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217611
not everyone are captain obvious to know what type they are
thanks for responding!

its a Flashable zip, can be done via CWM
or you can manually copy & Replace those apks to their respective destination after extracting
and change permission to rw-r--r--
but be sure to backup first

so you want to do it manually.
first i must tell you as it is for older miniCM version it might cause problems
First extract your zip in SD card
copy apks from framework and apps folders
mount /system to rw and paste them to system folder
change permission of each apk to rw-r--r-- by press-holding and clicking permission in root explorer
make sure all apks have permission of rw-r--r--
move and replace framework-res.apk from /system to /system/farmework/
move and replace all other apks from /system to /system/apps/
Reboot
Thats it; if you done it correctly then it will go fine
or you can try themes from here by installing apks Here
The apks can be extracted and installed directly, no copying and setting permissions needed. However the core framework of cm7 must have changed since these were made as they don't render properly on newer cm7 based roms
Hi!
I want to update apk's on my phone and I wonder if I take out apks, edit them (yeah I remember to decompile and compile) and put them in a update.zip, move it to my SD-card, boot into recovery and choose apply sd-card: update.zip (or something like that), will the apk files in the zip folder update the apk's with the same name on my phone?
I want to update apk files by flashing. Can I do that by following what I wrote above?
Thanks in advance!

It should work. But u need to give in zip info about direction (eg. System/app) and permissions (for system apps)
And i think that u should use install .zip from sd card (or similar) not update.zip
Look here: Create your own UPDATE.ZIP maybe it helps u

if you only need to install, reinstall or repair your some application, then you only have to extract it, copy it to sd card and install it as a normally .apk. but if it a system apk, you have to push it by using an explorer that can access system file, e.g Root Explorer.
I guess it's not a flashable zip. it's a firmware with .ftf extention inside the .rar.
so you can't install it by CWM, you have to flash it by flashtool. CMIIW
erm..i dnt know..but i couldn't find any .tft file inside..lots of folder..bt sure is,thr lots of .apk files too..
so..how??=.=
wait a minute, I'm downloading it to see the file.

those were system files from your phone that have been extracted from ICS rom...what you see in the system files is the same as in your phone...those system files is good backup in case you decided to remove/edit any system files (bloatware)....
those system files is not for normal install...you have to use Root Explorer to copy and paste it to your phone system files if you want get back the files you have remove before this....
remember you need to change permission for those files (rw-r-r)....

agree with this...
just like I posted above, you have to push it manually to /system/app .
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.
Here is the solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-sony-ric-killer-t2953141
I'm using V7 MIUI rom, I downloaded V8 rom from miui.com (both of them are Chinese's rom). I find that I can copy apk files in "Data" folder and install it normally. But apk files in "System"--->"Data" and "Priv-Data" cant do like that. I cant install them like files in "Data" folder does, and I notice that those file have a folder in same directory, inside that folder have a ".odex" file.
So, i wonder that those file must be install in special ways? And How can I install them?
Thank you for my poor english.:good:
Those system apk files usualy need to be flashed. You could copy and paste them in in a ROM.ZIP you are currently using and install them via a recovery (TWRP or CWM).
How it is actually done I am not realy sure (no experience) but in theory it should work this way.
