Hi All,
I've been looking for the install location where MarketPlace installs apps?
Can someone help?
I can not find any apps I have installed in:
/system/app
/data
I have rooted my X10
Please help if you can
/data/app
/data/app-private
Well this may be "odd"..
In both of those locations.. They're empty.
I have installed about 12 marketplace apps.
Is this normal? :S
You're sure you're rooted then?
Code:
# cd /data/app
cd /data/app
# ls -l
ls -l
-rw-r--r-- system system 637063 2010-06-28 22:14 stericson.busybox.apk
-rw-r--r-- system system 4201344 2010-06-28 22:14 com.google.android.apps.maps.apk
-rw-r--r-- system system 823161 2010-06-28 22:14 com.dropbox.android.apk
...
I have root.
I am actually redoing all root steps again.
Is there a GUI file explorer that will let me see what is in /data/apps?
The basic one's show nothing.
..obviously you need a file explorer capable of escalating to root privileges first...
Hi there, i installed a custom rom with dt a2sd and i still have problems installing apps from market that are too big. My cache partition is only 24mb and the market uses this partition to download apps... There's a way to increase or modify this partition?

Nope . Your only choice is to make a sd-ext partition and move all your apps and Dalvik-cache to it .

GingerReal did that for me, so i can install many apps now but not big apps?

Just type these command in terminal emulator app
Code:
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/market-download
su
cd /cache
mv download download.bak
ln -s /mnt/sdcard/market-download download
ls -ahl
it should work for any rooted galaxy ace
Command
Code:
mv download download.bak
returns this
Code:
failed on 'download' - No such file or directory
And
Code:
ln -s /mnt/sdcard/market-download
Returns
Code:
ln [-s] <target> <name>
are you in /cache folder
type ls -ls in terminal and check for download folder if it is not there then just pass this command.

i do this:

Where i'm wrong?
I'm using Terminal Emulator, not adb

Don't know why it not working with you cause i already tried it on cm7 in terminal emulator app and it was working.
Anyway try this, rename the download folder to download.bak via root explorer and then type this
in cache folder
Code:
ln -s /mnt/sdcard/market-download download
/cache seems to be empty!
i can't find any file or directory there!
No now i see something...
I have:
lost+found
recovery
downloadfile-2.apk
downloadfile-3.apk
downloadfile.apk
EDIT: i suppose my download folder is directly /cache

Maybe Ginger Real is using different folder structure but you can try these command with cache folder (Not guaranteed or may be a risk, don't know.).
I will google it again for some day, if i don't find what i'm looking for i will try your script again
Thank you for your help!!!
Hey, can someone tell me how to create a script to run a terminal command. I looked up google but didn't find any good results.
Open a new file, and write:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
your_command
another_command
another_one_xD
Save the file with sh extension, and run your script as follows:
Code:
su #optional, if your script needs root access.
sh yourscript.sh
If you get an error, probably need to grant permissions to your script, so:
Code:
chmod +x yourscript.sh
And try again.
Granting su is
$ su
Correct?
And thanks for the reply :]

Yep
When you set the permissions, you only have to do that once right?
Yes.
I'm trying to build a script to move pics and video from my internal storage to external storage. I have the script made and on my phone but when I run it, I get an error: "failed on /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/*.jpg" - Cross-device link . Any idea what that means?

Move (mv) only move the directory entry, not the actual data. Because of this, you can not move files from one disk to another (e.g. from internal to sdcard), hence the cross device error. You'll have to copy and then delete the original.

That seems to have done the trick but I have found another issue. When going into multiple directories (/storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera) from the script or even the root directory, I get a No Such file or directory error. But I can CD into that directory and manually cp and rm the files. Any idea why that is happening?

You've simply done something wrong. Show us the script.
Here is the script I created:
#!/system/bin/sh
#
#
#
#
#Move Pictures from Internal Storage to External Storage media
cp /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/IMG* /storage/sdcard1/DCIM/Camera
rm /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/IMG*
#
#
#
#Move Videos from Internal Storage to External Storage media
cp /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/VID* /storage/sdcard1/DCIM/Camera
rm /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/VID*
I put the script in the root directory and run it from there. Its permissions are rwxrwxr

Does /storage/sdcard1/DCIM/Camera exists? Try add:
mkdir -p /storage/sdcard1/DCIM/Camera
... to the script before you begin the copy. This will create the destination(s) in case of non-existent.
Also, your cp and rm command will fail with this error if there aren't any files named both IMG* and VID* in the source directory.

Yes it exists. I can navigate to the directory in Root Explorer. I tried running the script in Root Explorer but it didn't move the two pics i have in the /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera directory to the /storage/sdcard1/DCIM/Camera directory.

You realise that even with pictures in the directory, you'll still get this error from the next operations you try executing on the videos? Still, the script should a) still copy the images, and b) not terminate due to this error anyway (i.e. consider it a warning).
But you say the images are not copied. Quite odd, I'd say.
Add a path to the script (export PATH=/system/bin:/system/xbin plus the places you need), add a test "echo Running" to make sure the script actually is launched by Root Explorer. And add +x permissions for all, even "other". You can also add:
echo /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/IMG*
... before the first copy. This will show you what files matching your expression.
I'll just manually move them. I was just hoping for an easier way until CM10 is enabled to save pictures to the external SD card.

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Y Duos running stock ROM. After rooting I uninstalled some of the stock applications, among which was Gtalk. My phone functions normally, however functions dependent on Gtalk (like the Gtalk service monitor) don't work, and I want it back.
I searched across the web to find some Gtalk APKs, but trying to install them simply shows "Application not installed".
Could anyone point in the right direction on how to install it?
Thanks in advance.
I worked it out myself, seeing that none was actually interested.
Download Talk.apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27361160&postcount=309 and unzip given file
Using terminal emulator:
Code:
/ $ su -c ash # replace ash with any other shell of your choice, or if you want to use default shell just execute 'su'
/ # cd /sdcard/Download
/sdcard/Download # cp Talk.apk Talk.odex /system/app
/sdcard/Download # ls /system/app | grep -i talk
Talk.apk
Talk.odex
talkback.apk
Wait for a few minutes, preferably keeping the phone in standby mode.
(The above is the most important part. Immediate rebooting will not help.)
If you do have some app that alerts you on installation of new apps (like I had LBE Privacy Guard), you will be notified of the install.
Now, reboot your phone.
No need to do such complex procedure. You can push your system app easily using any root explorer

Just done it, after loosing root while accidentally updating to r5a i can confirm i gained root again with that!
I guess thats kind of cool and should be implemented in the all in one rooting stuff and everything
Here you can find a little zipfile with all the needed Files and a README which describes How-To do it:
https://d1sturbed.org/android/root-r5a-v3.zip
there is also a v4, which contains a new binary and a new script...on Linux you now can just unzip the v4 and then execute doit.sh (perhaps someone can pass me a doit.bat or something, i guess it could run as a batch file for windows, but since i'm to sleepy and lazy to reboot into windows it's untestet. but you can try by removing the first line and rename to .bat)
https://d1sturbed.org/android/root-r5a-v4.zip
Procedure
Expand where appropriate the android_run_root_shell-test.zip, to libdiagexploit of android_run_root_shell-test.zip within the deployment just the "Android.mk", "diag.c", "diag.h" of libdiagexploit-master.zip deployment.
Go to the folder where you extracted the android_run_root_shell-test.zip from the terminal,
> Ndk-build NDK_PROJECT_PATH =. APP_BUILD_SCRIPT =. / Android.mk
Type.
Run_root_shell is created in "android_run_root_shell-master/obj/local/armeabi" Then.
Expand to "android_run_root_shell-master/obj/local/armeabi" the su and Superuser.apk from UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.30.zip, busybox also be moved to the same folder.
From terminal
> Adb push run_root_shell / data / local / tmp
> Adb push su / data / local / tmp
> Adb push Superuser.apk / data / local / tmp
> Adb push busybox / data / local / tmp
> Adb shell
$ Cd / data / local / tmp
$ Chmod 777 run_root_shell
$ Chmod 755 busybox
$. / Run_root_shell
# / Data / local / tmp / busybox mount-o rw, remount / system
# / Data / local / tmp / busybox cp / data / local / tmp / su / system / xbin
# / Data / local / tmp / busybox cp / data / local / tmp / Superuser.apk / system / app
# Chown 0.0 / system / xbin / su
# Chmod 6755 / system / xbin / su
# / Data / local / tmp / busybox mount-o ro, remount / system
# Sync
# Exit
Is over. It would help to delete the ones that you push to / data / local / tmp afterward.
> Adb shell
$ Rm / data / local / tmp / run_root_shell
$ Rm / data / local / tmp / su
$ Rm / data / local / tmp / Superuser.apk

no, it does not include adb or anything.
You need working adb for you OS and the zip file.
I just extracted the needed stuff from the linked projects (Superuser and busybox), added a little shell script that copies the apk and the binaries..
and while writing this post i've seen that i didn't install the busybox binary at all...so i fixed this with v2, added with this post... i also updated the README as i forgot to mention that run_root_shell and root.sh have to get executable bit

looks good, after that you could install Superuser.apk/su/busybox by yourself or use execute root.sh ./root.sh to do it automatically...you can verify that you are root by using the command "id" but the root.sh script checks if your user id is 0 (root)
