OK, i really did look n im just more confused so feel free to tell me how too inexperienced i am to be trying "all things root" as long as u follow that w/ the answer.
So i want to install "setCPU" zip file from this site cuz i dont currantly have a bank account (long story-cash,fine-debit/credit,no) so i assumed i could treat it just like an upgrade (thru CWM) but apparently not so... i checked but posts all seemed to be 4 non-root? Or for GAPPS? SDK? apk files-android package...?(is that the same as zip...or similar? ...GAPPS?...google apps maybe? im so lost i'd have to do a weeks worth of researsh b4 i get results...
Orrr, i could ask u guys n get results n knowledge simultaneously...this suits me better as ive allways learned by asking exhaustive questions coupled w/ research, So... how can i achieve this?
Oh i did see 1 post where it said to un-zip n place on sd n open w a file mgr. but i had already tried this. i tried to open w/ appInstaller, but it couldn't be found. Why cant i treat as upgrade? is there any particular place on sd card to put it? Is the "read me" me file necessary? should i place both files in folder?
[also do i really need to subscribe to my ow threads to be saved? why arent my posts auto-saved as in other sites or are they?where? ....u guys must hate me]
You are over-complicating things. You just have to first unzip the file to access the APK, then install it as you would any other application. No updating/flashing/whatever required. I used Astro file explorer to unzip it and then again to install it after downloading it to my TBolt. I'm sure other file explorers have the same capabilities.
You do know SetCPU is free for xda members right?

CRAAAAP! im sorry all i had to do was read!!!! in my defence other "read me" files have seemed to say absolutely nothing. please dont ban me yet... i'll get btr
yeah thanks really i tried all of that but this is how dumb i am: 1st all i had to do was open and read 2nd when i figured out wat to do the hard way cuz i wouldnt read, i had my phone plugged in to PC so app intaller couldnt read it duh.. thnks 4 responding tho
k so i installed then uninstalled so i could try something new. Does anyone know how to do this maually as im trying to be more knowledgeable n resourceful. i got to the part where i have to "navigate to the directory where the setcpu.apk is found" and type in command line to install... and im lost.
how do i navigate anywhere? all i can do is type. after i type "adb devices" a bunch of script pops up w/ my device info but no "setcpu.apk." above.
I read the 1st post but your kinda getting me lost. I have a couple questions.
1. What are you trying to do?
2. Why is there a zip?
3. Are you trying to install setcpu?
If you're trying to install setcpu click on the link I gave you a couple post up. The link will direct you to a post where SetCPU is free and in an apk format. Download the apk onto your phone and install it using whatever file explorer you want to use. Open the file explorer and find the SetCPU apk and install it. FYI If you are not rooted SetCPU will not work. You must hit menu, setting, applications, and allow (check) unknown sources.
no i figured it out. it was a zip file w/ apk n directions i didnt bother to read cuz i thought it was just credits or watever. i was do'n everything right but my file manager wasnt reading anything at the time (i was so frustated that i prob. had phone plugged in to PC n just didnt realize) cuz it worked later...
NOW i want to do it the hard way... i KNOW- stupid but i gotta start somewhere. i cant find the directory where setcpu is located in ADB but i'll figure it out. Suggestions welcome but its certainly not pressing im just OCD thanks 4 all the help
anyway your way wouldve been much easier. i guess i missed the link earlier
You've gotta put the apk in the platform-tools folder. Mine would be C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. To navigate adb to that folder I type cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools in command prompt. Hey you know there's a "ADB for dummies" thread, right? LOL I used it when I first learned. Here's another adb tutorial

Ok.to install "setCPU" I did Wut was suggested above. After I type the 1st command it repeats the "sdk" directory (i think its called) bak to me n on that line I typed:
"adb install setcpu.apk"
Then it says:
"can't find 'setcpu.apk' to install.
I have the .apk (unzipped) file in the "platform-tools" folder. Wut am I do n wrong?

i don't now how to change bootscreen on my mini pro, i've alredy try via file expert byt i cant delete the old one
please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't you know it is not allowed to ask question in DEV section?
Answer to your question is filled all over XDA.
Here is one of the good one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10246903&postcount=1
Make sure that You are rooted and took backups.
There are a file in system partition what you should change.
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
or sometimes in /data/local/bootanimation.zip
You can find a lot of bootanimation in this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527
Just type "bootanimation" to search
And of course what hakneo said: your phone have to be rooted.
yeah, but in my file expert i can't delete the old one, and copy new one
Use my bootanimation installer

this is bcos your phone dont have root access.
after rooting,make sure you use r/w access for replacing bootanimation.zip
For God's sake, please stop asking questions on development thread !!
Hi again guys, thanks in advance.....so i have the init.d hack flashed and speedy v7...it says in his thread to make sure it workd go to /data and look for a file ".ItWorks". That file is not there, i followed the forums correctly...im kinda a newbie but do understand this kind of stuff, any help again id be more then grateful, thanks again JIM
Curious, if you go to /system/etc do you have an init.d folder? Within that folder should be a few more files. For me it's 01speedyMain, 97MemoryCharger etc...
Can you do a search for the word "works" and see if it is somewhere else? If all of these answers are noI'd'd run it again. Try a different version, maybe 6 just to see.
yea all files are in init.d...search turned up nothing for works.....ill try flashing v6...thanks
I would think if there are files in that directory the scripts are in. I don't know why you wouldn't have the itworks file. I don't know what that file does to be honest if anything. You tried to load v7 a couple times didn't you?
What file explorer u using.
I believe u need to change the settings of the file explorer to show hidden files.
The .itworks file has the period in front i believe files n folders with a . Are hidden.try to unhide files. Does your busybox need to be updated?
If you have ES File Explorer the option to unhide the . files is in your settings then file settings. Unhide them and youll see it in the data folder.
im using root explorer with show hidden files enabled, flashed speedy quite a few time, flashed the init.d re hack also, still not seeing the .itworks file, but the script files are in the init.d folder....i dont get it lol

Not sure what the issue would be. You have busybox installed right?

If u aren't running a rom u may need to install busybox. Use jrummy busybox installer from market and install 1.19.gitadrynaline...has always worked just fine for anything I need it for
Yup busybox installed, im on eclipse 1.3

Hey everyone.
I'm developing an android application in java, and I'm pretty familiar with all that stuff, but now it's the first time when I need to use SU permissions.
The goal is to move some file from /system/ directory to SD, I tried to use renameTo method from File class, but it returns 0 (FALSE), which means that some error occured.
I also noticed that there was no Superuser app prompt, asking to confirm granting superuser permissions.
So, how do I replace files from /system/? Shall I use the same method but with some additions in manifest? Or is there any other way?
I already searched xda, googled for it, but I can't find any useful information. I also checked Android Superuser website and I didn't find any documentation or something like this.
Thanks in advance!

Hi all. This is my first post and no doubt my question will probably already have been answered so here goes. my Samsung GT-19100 keeps telling me that there is insufficient memory when trying to download. I have plenty of memory spare on the phone 10 gb actually on sd card. I have looked up for answers and seem to have found it, unfortunately I don't know how to go about it. The information I found is saying I need to delete the .odex file in the app data just don't know where to find this file. Any help is very much appreciated. Thank You so much to everyone that has read this. Thanks. Paul.

Is your phone rooted?
If yes, you need a file explorer or file manager like ES File Explorer , or any app like that to find and delete the app .odex file ...

Hi PinkLeviosa, Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my post. The information you give doesn't register with me only because I don't understand your question "Is your phone rooted" or "file manager like ES File Explorer" I`m so sorry for not understanding this term please forgive me. Could you please explain in more simple terms. I feel I am in need of step to step instructions "doh" Thank You. Paul.

So, I see.. If you know jailbreaking in apple products, you already know rooting, but they have some differences, please take time to read here

ES File Explorer is a File manager it helps you to move,paste,open files such as .zip , delete files like .odex ... and at the same time its a Root Explorer, Provides access to the entire file system and all data directories, and allows the user to change permissions. You can only unlock its feature like root explorer if your phone is rooted, for more details in ES file manager look here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
So if you dont know what root is, but now you know, the chances are your phone is not rooted... so i think you cant do your process of deleting the app's .odex but if you please can you try this app i found while searching your problem but it moves the cache of google play store at your sd card and no root is needed... the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.felipearon.marketfix
and one more thing try to clear the cache of your google play store, if still that one dont work, try this:
