So I flashed the wrong .zip and now SystemUI.apk is force-closing. Rather than reflash the ROM I'm just going to replace SystemUI.apk using adb (I happen to have the ROM unzipped on my laptop), but want to make sure I have the procedure right.
Reboot to recovery
Then
adb shell
su
rm system/app/SystemUI.apk
exit
And then to push the SystemUI.apk
just
adb push SystemUI.apk system/app/SystemUI.apk
reboot
Do I need to mount system as writable before all of this?
Yes I believe you do
You could put the system.apk into a flashable zip by itself and flash that tho
Less room for error

Now I'm wondering if the permissions will be all mucked up if I just push the file. Is there a way to set permissions in adb?
never mind, got it, chmod 644 system/app/SystemUI.apk
Worked too!

Adb remount will mount as rrw and you don't have to set permissions the folder already has it. You can also just use a root file explorer app to place it in their

Trying to pull all of my system/app directory to my pc what's the proper command to.get all at once.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Code:
adb pull /system/app/
That will pull all of the apk files from /system/app and place them in your current directory. If you want to direct them somewhere else, here's an example:
Code:
#Windows
adb pull /system/app/ c:\android\apps\
#Linux & Mac
adb pull /system/app ~/Downloads/apps/
Thank u I'm on tapatalk or I would hit the button.

Does moving installed apps require root???

Ofcourse you need rooted phone..
Only rooted phone can mount system and data partition as READ-WRITE
#Windows
This is for full system folder
adb pull /system c:\android\system (blue colour to create folder on desktop)
This is for full data folder (which include all installed apps and your personal data too)
adb pull /data c:\android\data (blue colour to create folder on desktop)
Etc....
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.

You'll get lots of FCs until you reboot the phone then it should be fine.

you need is adb and command prompt
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
optional ones
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell chown 0 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell chgrp 0 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Just reflash the rom from recovery!
Without wiping data!
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
well I'm with Amit here. You must have the original ROM's flashable zip file you were currently using?
Simply extract it. Get to PATH_TO_CURRENT_LOCATION\system\framework\framework-res.apk after extracting it. Get the file and push it via adb. Easy as 123.
Reflashing again restores all the system files...? Happened with me... N I use to flash again! Lol Never tried Amits Method

Sorry, I thought you were talking about center clock. Well try again, it is a tricky job, and is easy to make mistake in the process. In CM settings there is option bottom statusbar so the notification icons are down . I will also try to apply the tweak, if it works will share.
Well, seeing a thread with this name I thought to just join in rather than openning a new one well, I downloaded xUltimate, pulled and deodexed the apks and....now what ? I assume I have to switch the original system files with these new ones, but how ? Sorry for the nooby question
create 2 folder on sdcard, in first copy deodexed file from /system/app, in second from /system/framework then boot in recovery, mount system and sdcard run adb and replace file in /system/app and /system/framework. After that use adb to remove .odex files form /syste/app and /system/framework.
Code:
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/(noame of the folder)/*.* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/name of the folder)/*.* /system/framework
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
reboot
If i miss some command make somebody corect me.

Thank you everything works, and my rom is finally fast AND themed Oh, and for anyone reading this: because I have a 150MB system partition I had errors while first trying the cp lines, so I had to first remove the odex files (rm lines) and then use the cp ones to transfer the deodexed files
np ;-)

Is there any method to install a modding zip, like SystemUI mod, via adb shell instead of CWM?
You can use tickle my android to push systemui.apk etc ...
Press the thanks button
Sent from my Nexusâ´
"To use Tickle My Android, you will need:
- a rooted Android phone or tablet with USB Debugging enabled and ClockworkMod Recovery installed"
I haven't got CWM, and I don't want to install it to my company phone.
But my phone is rooted. May I install systemui.apk into /system/app and set permissions?
Does it work?
What is the update-binary file in modding zip /META-INF/com/google/android folder?
I can recognize the updater-script in the same directory which is describes the method of the install under CWM. But I don't know what update-binary does.
Update-binary is what provides the functions that updater-script calls. And yeah, you can adb push SystemUI.apk to sdcard, then mount system in adb shell, copy SystemUI.apk to /system and set permissions, then exit adb shell and do adb reboot. I'm not going to into more detail on this because it'll be redundant, as there are many guides on using adb.
