Motorola Dashboard app extracted from Motorola Defy XT535 Gingerbread SBF. The Motorola Defy XT535 has the same resolution as the Motorola Defy/Defy+ and it should work for all Gingerbread ROMs and above. The zip file will flash the Dashboard app to the /system partition as it doesn't work if you flash it to the /data partition. The app WILL FC when you install it as a normal APK.
How to install the Motorola Dashboard app using the zip file:
1. Root your device and install Android Bootmenu if you haven't already done so. Custom ROMs already have bootmenu installed.
2. Download the zip file and put it in your SD Card.
3. Boot your device into CWM or TWRP.
4. Install the zip file.
5. Mount /system and /data partitions.
6. Install Compass and Music Now Services for Dashboard to work properly as I didn't include in the zip file (oops).
Type the following commands in cmd:
Code:
adb shell
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
# exit
Code:
adb push Compass_alldpi.apk /system/app/
Code:
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Compass_alldpi.apk
Code:
adb push MusicNowGlobal_tinboostplus_hdpi.apk /system/app/
Code:
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/MusicNowGlobal_tinboostplus_hdpi.apk
7. Reboot your device and you should see the Dashboard and Compass in the app drawer.
How to install the Motorola Dashboard app manually:
1. Root your device and install Android Bootmenu if you haven't already done so. Custom ROMs already have bootmenu installed.
2. Download the APK and put it in the same path as adb.
3. Boot your device into CWM or TWRP.
4. Now mount /system and /data
5. Install Compass and Music Now Services for Dashboard to work properly.
Type the following commands in cmd:
Code:
adb shell
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
# exit
Code:
adb push DashBoard_tinboostplus_hdpi.apk /system/app/
Code:
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/DashBoard_tinboostplus_hdpi.apk
Code:
adb push Compass_alldpi.apk /system/app/
Code:
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Compass_alldpi.apk
Code:
adb push MusicNowGlobal_tinboostplus_hdpi.apk /system/app/
Code:
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/MusicNowGlobal_tinboostplus_hdpi.apk
6. Reboot your device and you should see the Dashboard and Compass in the app drawer.

Disclaimer: maybe this is just my phone, but I doubt it since there are *so* many bricked phones that have to do with updating framework-res.apk when installing a new theme.
Also I've bricked my phone with any other suggestion by the theme creators on how this should be done.
Here's how to safely update framework-res.apk (only via command shell) :
- Upload your new framework-res.apk to your sd card:
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk_new
- Remount R/W your /system:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
- Move framework-res.apk_new to /system/framework/:
Code:
busybox mv /sdcard/framework-res.apk_new /system/framework/
- Update the perms correctly:
Code:
busybox chmod 644 framework-res.apk_new
- 'Atomically' replace the old framework-res with the new one:
Code:
busybox mv framework-res.apk framework-res.apk.orig && busybox mv framework-res.apk_new framework-res.apk
Its REALLY important that the last command completes (and it does) before the phone reboots because without a working framework-res.apk it won't give access to su to have it replaced afterwards, hence, your phone is bricked! Also every time you tamper with this file the phone reboots instantly! The last commands ensures that there is enough time for the new framework to be in place before the phone reboots.
Hope this helps avoiding some needless reflashes
thanks for this
"cat" methode" works to your phone reboots without permissions but it will just work
Not working for me.
Maybe the file is wrong?
What do u mean? Just compare the downloaded framework with the one in /system/framework
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
or
Or you can copy that file (in a routed device with rootexplorer) in folder system, after that change the atributes like in picture down, than, cut from system and paste overwrite in framework , and than restart ( in my opnion is more sigure, and more simply )

nobodyAtall, i have used the root explorer method for over 100 changes of framework-res.apk and i didn't brick even once.
The key is to copy the framework-res.apk first on /system and after chmod to 644, move it (dont copy it) to /system/framework.
Even if the phone reboot while you have framework-res.apk on /system, android can't read it as system element.

mv is what works. The point is that there is huge confusion on how this should be done, something that bricks a lot of people's phones.

Check the installation procedure on this one.

Installing NMAP to run via Terminal
Lets start of by making sure your nook is rooted and you have Superuser and su already setup on your device.
If you need to root your device, please visit http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting for the walk through process.
Following that you will want to install Superuser and su by following the steps found at http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Installing_su_and_the_Superuser_app
Once all that has been completed, we can gather our resources:
nmap files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=486422&stc=1&d=1294720525
Once you download and extracted the nmap files, choose and install your preferred terminal app. I use Better Terminal Emulator Pro, Thanks to Magicandroidapps.com .
Now we are ready to start installing the files.
Load up ADB and run the following commands. This will be assuming that the files are in the same directory as the adb.exe. Otherwise you will need to include the whole file path to the files.
Code:
$ adb usb
$ adb shell
$ mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
$ exit
$ adb push foo /system/bin/nmap
$ adb shell
$ chmod 755 /system/bin/nmap
$ mkdir /data/bin/
$ exit
$ adb push nmap /data/bin/
$ adb push nmap-4.01-1.spec /data/bin/
$ adb push nmap-mac-prefixes /data/bin/
$ adb push nmap-os-fingerprints /data/bin/
$ adb push nmap-protocols /data/bin/
$ adb push nmap-rpc /data/bin/
$ adb push nmap-service-probes /data/bin/
$ adb push nmap-services /data/bin/
$ adb shell
$ chmod 755 /data/bin/nmap
$ exit
$ adb reboot
Once your device has rebooted, load your terminal and type nmap. You should then be presented with the nmap man page. You should see the following in your terminal window.

Did you type su first to get it into root mode?

That does not root it, it puts terminal in root permission mode. Typing su enter will cause terminal to ask for root permission. Once it gets it the cursor changes from a > to a $. Then your commands should work.

Hi All,
When i push some applications in system/app folder via root explorer. It does not work. I am not able to see those apps in app drawer. Is there any other way to push to those apps ?
thanks in advance.
Regards
Creedy
Make sure you give the files Read/Write permission.
What ever app you push to system/app folder, change their permissions like this with the help of root explorer after enabling read write.

As you told me, I have changed the permissions but still can't see pushed apps in app drawer. ....
Have you reboot the phone after copying and setting permission?
Can you post the URL you use as reference for doing this?
Off course I have rebooted the phone after setting permissions. Actually I m trying to push default music app by LG. By mistake it was deleted by me. So i want to install it again.
Place the apk on the root of your sdcard. Remount and copy the stuff with these commands:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /sdcard
cp <filename>.apk /system/app/<filename>.apk

Hi,
I am trying to flash a new ROM to my Samsung Galaxy S5830i, but unfortunately, I can't use either Recovey Mode, or Download Mode.
When I try to access Download Mode, it simply boots in as nothing happened. (I tried to access Download Mode by pressing Vol Up + Vol Down + Power)
When I try to access Recovery Mode, I can't move with the volume buttons, but the home button does work (and it reboots the phone). It says, "Applying Multi-CSC", but nothing happens, I tried to leave it there for 1 hour, but nothing changed:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I tried the following soultions, but none of them solved the problem:
I rooted the phone, and tried using Terminal to flash CWM as recovery.IMG, as this tutorial suggests:
Launch terminal emulator
Change user as superuser, type
$su
the $ symbol wil change to #
Mount and change the permission
# mount -o remount rw /system
Concatenate flash_image files and set the permission.
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/xbin/flash_image
# chmod 755 /system/xbin/flash_image
Install the CWM recovery
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
set back the permission for /system and reboot
# mount -o remount ro /system
# reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It got stuck on installing the CWM recovery:
I tried to access Download Mode with ADB using the "reboot download", but the phone rebooted normally, not in Download Mode.
Any suggestions, on how to access Download Mode or fix the Recovery Mode, so I can flash a new ROM to the phone?
All I want to achieve is to pull subfolders ( DCIM etc.pp ) of Android's /data/media folder what successfully got mounted as RW
To access /data partition you need root permission which is adb root
But most devices would refuse to run this command, in which case you need to install adb insecure mode. You can get that from here.
After installing the app switch to insecure mode. Then pull command should work.
Alternatively you can use adb shell to work around it:
Code:
adb shell
su
mkdir /sdcard/media
cp -R /data/media/* /sdcard/media
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/media
Notes:
The "*" in "/data/media/*" stands for all, which copies all files in current directory. If you want specific file just replace it with "filename.extension"
The option "-R" in "cp" command stands for recursive which copies directories, and will copy all files in respective directories as well.
Thanks for trying to help: Unfortunately your solutions don't work at all.
FYI:
I use /data/local/tmp for intermediate storage ( permissions: rwxrwxrwx )
I can successfully copy /data/media/<SUBFOLDER> to /data/local/tmp/<SUBFOLDER> ( permissions rw-rw-rw- )
All copied files have permission rw-rw-rw-
When applying ADB PULL on /data/local/tmp/<SUBFOLDER> I still get error "Access denied" even if having additionally set owner of all
files in /data/local/tmp/<SUBFOLDER> to shell.shell and/or root.shell and/or shell.root and/or root.root
It's working fine with me, but I used /sdcard as the copy folder.
Like I said you can only access /data partition with root. You can try the first method mentioned above.
As mentioned none of your suggestions solved the problem.
1, ADB Insecure obviously doesn't work on Android 8+ devices, hence useless

2. Temporarily copying to /sdcard in my case is useless too, because /sdcard is merely a symlink to /data
So you can't even use pull command on /sdcard partition?
