I am very new to all of this. I have posted a few things already about getting webtop over HDMI. I think i am closer. I have the apk files for dockservice and portalapp on my phone using root explorer. It doesnt let me change the permissions or install the apk. I dont really know how to do ABD on a mac. what am i missing?
When using Root Explorer, are you selecting "R/W" at the top before trying to change permissions?

yes and i have changed all the permissions and moved the files to system. I am just rooted and nothing else is that ok?
I also have changed two of the .odex files to .bak but i could not find the third. Then I try to install the .apk files and they will not download. I don't know where to go from here

Hi there
You should not install the .apk's like normal installation.
Just copy them into the folder, change the permissions, and rename the 2 files.
Reboot.
remember to remount the folder as R/O after you changed the permissions.
Cool
This is gonna make me sound stupid but is there a special way to reboot? Or do you just turn off the phone?
I turned my phone off and back on and now when I plug in the hdmi cable I get no popular but my monitor instead of saying no hdmi signal, it shows a black screen but recognizes something. I feel like im getting closer!

When you plug it into the monitor, does it do anything on the device? Or nothing?
Try another HDMI port, if your TV has 2....
I only have on hdmi on my monitor. Before trying to do this i could go into entertainment center. but now i do not get that poppup nor does it show up in my notification bar

Cool, what OS version do you have one your phone 2.2.2 or 2.3.4?
i have 2.3.4
Which build version are you using under system->about phone->build number?
Make sure you are using the right files for your phone. Should be 3 different sets of files available in the zip file from the original post.
I am on 4.5.91. I may have put the wrong files on. Shall i delete all the wrong ones and do what i did before?
I just redid what i did before with the correct files. here is the moment of truth...
it is doing the exact same thing as before did i miss a step?
I just want to make sure. Your using the files from the AT&T folder correct? Did you reboot your phone? Did you set the correct file permissions?
Hope it works out for you.
I got my files from Version 4.5.91 Users Go HERE: (This works now.) ATRIX 4.5.91 WEBTOP MOD FILES
i also rebooted and set the correct permissions
Try this instead:

Hi to everyone, Yesterday i tried to install touchwiz 4.0 following these instructions
http://www.tutebox.com/3776/mobile/install-touchwiz-4-0-on-any-samsung-phone/
As soon as i put the .apk file in system/app (via adb shell), the GUI become black. I rebooted with no results, so i deleted the file and rebooted again.
Nothing... Bricked.
I did a factory reset & wipe cache partition.
Now the device boot exactly one time after a factory reset but with no graphical interface, if i turn it off and on again it doesn't boot.
Do you have any suggestion about how to solve?I think this isn't a total brick but a problem with graphical interface files.
Info about the device:
Galaxy wifi 4.0 YP-G1CW/XEF
Android 2.3.5 (Official update with kies)
rooted with super one click
Was this your only launcher?
It makes sense that if you delete the only launcher you would loose your GUI. I was using ADW EX as my main one so I had no ill effects.
I suppose you will need to somehow get the twlauncher30.apk put back into system/app folder. And since you lost your GUI, you might have to flash back the stock rom.
I am not sure but maybe others can help you with more tricks.
Sorry to hear about your troubles though.
Thank you cvcduty, yes, I have probably overwritten the original touchwiz.apk file. To be sure, could you or someone with the same device post here the content of his system/app folder?
I cannot even replace the file because the device does not respond to adv. Is there any other way to access the memory ? Damn!

pm me. I can email you the stock touchwiz apk file. But your main problem is getting the file into the system/app folder.
Maybe someone with more knowledge can assist you with accessing the player via ADB or something. You should still be able to get the player into Download mode so maybe there is a way to access the player's folder structures from your PC... Good luck.
You can access the file on your player by connecting to a windows computer. Just open the player in computer and drag the file. I think this might work.
Thank you cvcduty and heat361. Through a normal usb connection you can only access to the "sdcard" folder and not the root folder.
I solved the problem in the simplest way: flashed with odin.
Thank you again
I was going to suggest ODIN gonna give tw a shot in ICS on my vibrant thanks for the link.

I think TW4 is for GB based roms...
I have successfully installed touchwiz 4 and made a copy of the original launcher to my sd card . My only complaint is some stock apps are missing but i rarely use them and i can re-install them in Root explorer and it sometimes get auto close window. When installing my screen went black too were you patient or you missed some steps?

Hi,
i updated mi SGS 2 to LPQ and i have those three problems.
the first thing i see is i dont get the welcome screen, i dont care this screen, but i get it as a symptom of my problem.
the second thing and the most bothering is that i cant get the lockscreen.
and the last thing is that when i press the lock button instead of showing the shutdown menu it shutdown.
i know this problems where present in the betas, but i flashed today a phone of a friend y he doesnt have any of these problems.
does anybody knows someway to fix this?
thanks!
Is this serious? If it is, just put in your information as it asks you to and it'll go away...
Edit: It seems I misread your post, but jk0l is right, it's probably your efs. Look for a the thread about how to recover your IMEI
Your efs is missing something.
There was a solution posted somewhere.
Sorry, cant recall which thread was it.
Try search the whole forum.
thanks jk0l i will search that.
i remember that i have read something about permissions, but i could find it...
*sigh*....
This is the THIRD separate thread (not counting the solution thread, and actually one other) I have seen on this issue.

Ok. Open up root explorer, long press the keystr file and open with text viewer. Does it have 'ON' written there?
Sent from my GT-I9100T
yes it does.
i also deleted the current file, reboot, created a new keystr file, and didnt worked.
i dont know if it is related, but my phone was one of the phones with USB problems
and also de imei problem, from time to time i lost the imei and i must to restore the efs folder.
So if you restore your efs folder do.you still have the problem?
Does restoring your efs show you your correct imei?
I also had this problem for over a month and couldn't fix it. When I copied the keystr & mps code files into the efs folder it fixed the problem. Make sure your keystr file name is all lowercase.

Alright. Try this!
I have attached the 2 files from the imei folder. Copy paste to your folder.
But you need to rename them to:
- keystr.txt to keystr, take out the .txt from the end
- mps_code.txt to mps_code.dat, replace .txt with .dat
If your phone needs to overwrite the old ones let it.
If you are on PC, just right-click the files and 'save as' to you PC, then move to your phone then use root explorer to move to the efs folder.

Hi,
I am having the same issue and have copied the 2 files into my efs folder.
Still the problem persist. Also, with the issue that the lock screen doesn't appear, if there is a sim lock pin required, i will not be prompted as well.
and yes, i still have my IMEI intact.
Please advice.

They are actually supposed to go in the /efs/imei folder. Did you put them there, or just to /efs?

So after updating to Android JB 4.2 I can no longer write to the ' SdCard/Android/Obb ' directory.
Can anyone confirm if they are having this problem too? Is it due to this stupid and annoying feature that google has now implemented that they wish to check all .apk files before they are able to be installed? I turned this off in settings but it seems that it turns itself back on again after every reboot?
I cannot write to the directory from my PC via USB cable or even through a root app despite the phone telling me that I have -Rw access to the folder and all of it's subfolders etc.
I even tried writing via Linux but it doesn't work either... even if I try and force a write.. plus I cannot access the internal memory when the phone is booted down...
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Think you need to have root Explorer to write to obb
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Before upgrading I could write to the directory from either my PC or Root Explorer or Solid Explorer. Now I can't seem to write to it at all. So it's not that unfortunately...
R: [Q] Can no longer write to Android/Obb in JB 4.2?
As far as i can remember u can edit the obb directory even without root....but i'm an android kinda novice.
Try another file browser from the phone (the one from rhythm software is very good).
Might also be that problem with directory permissions that get mixed up to which clockwork mod always refers to (they have an option to fix directory problems).
Android, i have noticed, can get corrupted easily, have you done some serious modding to your cel phone or just root and small patching?

I've been trying a string of different things for a couple of days...
I've tried root explorer pro, when I press copy it finishes instantly but nothing is happening.
R/w is on..
I tried solid explorer pro, it instantly says "the file(s) could not be copied"
Tried "Fix Permissions" from CWM...
Tried copying from Windows. It copies up to 99% then says: "The directory is no longer available, it may have been removed"
The connection is fine, and I can copy to all other folders no matter where. EXCEPT for this folder..
I am 99.9% sure that it's due to this annoying new Android Guard thing in the settings that asks to scan everything. Even if I turn it off, I bet that it still has some sort of affect. It's probably just denying all writes from outside an accepted source..
This really angers me. I don't want my phone to have ANY directories that I cannot write to. Especially seeing as I have to often copy files back and forth from this folder when I make updates to the 2 games I am developing..
There was no problem before updating to 4.2 and this Android Guard thing.
I'm willing to try all suggestions.. Thanks

I'm using Android HD Revolution. It's apparently an 'official leaked' one with just the 'improvements' that Mike etc. do.
Thanks also for your reply. I'm trying to keep my device current so I can stay on top of releasing updates, but I really can't do that if I can't fix this issue. I've put it off for awhile now but it's really stalled the development process /tear

If you mean using ARHD 30.* that is not official, that is the leaked version of 4.2.1, that mike has tweaked
Before flashing ROMs, read changelists carefully please:good:
Ok well then I missed the play on words, it's not 'official' but it's a leaked version. Mike, or whoever updates the thread doesn't usually provide a very verbose changelog.
So I take it that absolutely no one here on XDA has any idea as to why I cannot write to this 'specific' area in my partition?
I have the same problem with Galaxy S4. I rooted the device but this didn't help.
I have tried loading files to obb in Windows 7, ES File Explorer, AntTek Explorer - but no results.
Edit://
I solved my problem using AntTek Explorer (root) and the path is next:
Device root/storage/sdcard0/android/obb - then I had permissions to copy files there.
I hope it help.

I forgot to write back. I solved my problem by just wiping my device and flashing a new rom. It ended up being a rom issue. No problems now.

or even make the app read obb file from where else ?

Hope that helps..
reading changelogs doesn't help the problem..
and @leijonasisu probably it would've been bad flash.. but before i say that you should change rom and check once again.. you gotta see if there was any write protection to the specific folder.. so try using an FTP client, if you still cant get access, then you gotta change the rom and try again

Hi very_lie, need specifics, what method are you using- ADB? Are you rooted? What app- is it compatible with your device, app store(play/aptoide) will tell you yea or nay. Assuming you are rooted, use a good file manager, go into settings of the file manager, give it root permissions, and change mount system folders to writable, they will be read only originally. Find out where the app needs to go. For example, earlier today, I replaced talkback app because the version that came with custom ROM force closed. Google came out with an update recently that works for me. In file explorer, went to /system/app to find out what its called- talkback.apk. Downloaded v. 3.5 from aptoide(be careful), renamed it talkback.apk. go to /system/app, deleted older talkback.apk, go to data/dalvic cache and delete system @ app @ talkback.apk @ classes.dex Took renamed apk, copied it(from sd), just long press on the file and options come up, select copy. Navigated to /system/app and paste it there. Reset permissions, again long press hit permissions, will probably at rw-rw-rw, change to rw-r--r-- read write, read, read. Reboot. Upon reboot, may say android is upgrading-all is good-dalvic cache is building. Now with certain apps you will want to delete its data- in /data/data. For this app didn't need to. Also some apps can't be put in /system/app. On my phone HTC Evo 3d, ones like facebook, Twitter, translate and other google app can. Ones like Skype n dropbox cannot- they forced closed and can cause others to misbehave. So open up your app n see if it works. Go back into file manager, /data/data and make sure your app's permissions are rwxr-xr-x. Hope this helps, follow this same format when putting"forcing" app on data partition- /data/app

I've got a old version of APK editor pro , that I can use . Version 1.00 to bypass any install errors .. don't ask me how to get it though. Regards :angel:
Of course I could also have flash stock firmware again but I needed a simple solution to use the media I had available at that moment, only two Note 8 (mine and my wife's to extract the apk) and little 3g signal (when I had) to find a solution.
I appreciate the recommendations after having solved the problem but the object of my post was to thank for the help, the rest are anecdotes.
