you can find it in /system/app
I don't think it will work however since it's odexed. perhaps a deodexed version would work better.
Have you tried ES Explorer?

1. You need at least 600 MB of free space on USB (archos.ext4.zip and place to unpack)
2. Open terminal in the folder where archos.ext4 is located and:
Code:
mkdir mnt
sudo mount -o loop archos.ext4 mnt
3. Do whetever you wan to with files in ext4 image, then
Code:
sudo umount mnt
[optional] rm -r mnt

i know its a shot in the dark still want to try
ok i tried the steps you gave me but i must be missing something steps i took
i made a new folder dropped the .zip into the new folder, opened terminal i typed cd then drag and drop my new folder then hit enter
then i typed
mkdir mnt
sudo mount -o loop archos.ext4 mnt
i get "file type must be specified" or something like that

You sir, are a saint!
Here you go http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3DM54Q10
ahh, that rfs isnt unpacked
well does anyone have to skills to unpack it? you can get the actual file from the above post
im pretty sure you need linux to do so, but i might be wrong
*edit* posted tut to unpack it
mopodo said:
I came from HTC Hero to the Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000
So I had never problems with cooking something up, but in the Galaxy I faced .rfs files and a flashing tool I can't use on linux...
So I searched through some boards to find a way to extract the .rfs files here a working guide for the S I9000.
What you need
Linux (tested with Debian testing)
It's pretty simple, execute this commands as root on your computer
SHORT WAY (thanks to mimocan)
Code:
# mount -o loop factory.rfs /some_dir
LOOOONG WAY
Attatch the rfs file to the loop device
Code:
# losetup /dev/loop0 /somedir/factoryfs.rfs
Create a directory to mount the device
Code:
# mkdir /somedir/mnt
Mount the device
Code:
# mount /dev/loop0 /somedir/mnt
the content of the rfs is NOT saved on the sdcard! you have to copy it!
Now you can copy the content from the /sdcard/tmp directory to the sdcard
Code:
# cp -R /somedir/mnt /somedir/factoryfs
hope this is helpful for someone

Platform tool will be download from internet during update after first start of application.
Take a look on section above:

First install JDK and JRE from here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...ads/index.html (choose your appropriate os)
ANDROID SDK LINK:http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (LATEST VERSION r10)
Install ANDROID SDK
Click next
Now it wont show next option to proceed just hit back once and click next again (you will be able to proceed with installation now)
Run android sdk manager(note :Run as Administrator orelse it wont download the packages) it will show various packages available just click cancel.
Click on available packages-android repository-uncheck SDK PLATFORM ANDROID ALL VERSION EXCEPT 2.2(U CAN LATER INSTALL THE VERSION U REQUIRE LATER WHEN U NEED IT)
Click install selected
Click select all and proceed with the installation.(this might take a long time depending on your connectivity)

Hi,
I'm attempting to replace Email.apk on my miui rom. This is the method I am using:
Code:
adb push Email.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Email.apk
rm /system/app/Email.odex
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system
cp /sdcard/Email.apk /system/app
reboot
When the phone has rebooted, my changes do not take affect. To check, I pulled the /system/app/Email.apk back, and found it to be the original version.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Have figured this out...
adb appears to send some kind of cached version over. Renaming the file before transferring forced adb to use the correct file, and all is well.

Hello!
I currently have a new tablet called the PiPo M9 but the manufacturer only gives out ROM's with the 'img' extension instead of the usual .zip
and i can't seem to open them in any way, not by using winrar/7zip/daemon tools etc.
Anyone that could help me out?

It's not that simple. You can replace the ttf files under /system/fonts that relate to LG's default font changer. They all start with HY. Replace the files of the font you don't like/use with those that you do. You need a regular type and a bold one. Also, you need to do this in a Linux environment. Make sure you correct security contexts when you finish, or it won't work.

You need to mount it as a re-writable partition. Use the command below:
Code:
mount -o loop,rw -t ext4 image-file.img the-folder-you-want-to-mount-the-image-in
Then, when you're done, use this:
Code:
umount the-folder-you-mounted-the-image-in
You can find attached a screenshot of what the process will do in the end. I have replaced Foxrain.

Oh, well, use KDZ Extractor to get a stock system.img from a KDZ. Then open a terminal in the folder where you have the image and use the following commands:
Code:
sudo
mkdir something
mount -o loop,rw -t ext4 system.img something
Then modify what you want, and, when you're done and have corrected security contexts using "ls -lZ" and "chcon", use this:
Code:
umount something

Oh, I'm not familiar with Python. Why did you install ubuntu? You could just boot it through VMWare or something. I think you'd need either Windows or Mac to use KDZ Extractor.
You don't need to re-pack your modded system.img into a KDZ to flash it. Use the guide in this thread to do so.

Step 1. It won't work otherwise. The port needs to be opened, and that's what LGUp does.
By the way, you can mod your ROM in many ways, not just fonts and stuff. The security contexts are very important, don't forget correcting them after you're done modding.
