do you mean to keep re-trying the command prompt or keep retrying setting the folder so its not read-only

i think the problem is the whole adb thing.... exit out of your command prompt and try again.... it should go....

Being so new at this - only a month with a rooted hero - I didn't think to change my folder permissions on the phone level - so I went into Root Explorer and changed it to R/W - and it gets further than I had before - but no file transfer takes place
This is what I'm typing into cmd
adb push c:\bootanimation.zip \system\media
then I get: 950kb/s - (0 byes in ###s)

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media

when I do that I get 'no such file or directory' which folder should I have the .zip in to make this easiest ? I just have it in c: right now

[Q] How to turn off Camera shutter sound?

Has anyone found a Camera app that is compatible with XT720 ?
or know of a way to disabling the stock Camera shutter sound ?
many of the apps that works fine (on/off sound) on my other phones it doesn't seem to work on the XT720
it seems to completely ignore if you have the shutter sound off, even on camera apps that provide that option.

I just plugged-in my earphone, so the sound is redirected to the earphone instead of the camera speaker. ... that's the fastest way to do.

go to /system/media/audio/ui/ and look for cameraXXXX.ogg and either rename it or cut and paste it somewhere else. no more click

holly ****! "silent mode" does not work...

go to adb shell...
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mv /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg.old
mv /system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg.old
exit
done...so eazy ...huh!
ps/ no need the the rubbish app...xt720 cannot be mute by app or silent button..

excellent ideas

Good idea but the files are write protected. Can't rename, delete or move. Anything can be done about this?

You can try using root explorer to delete/rename the files. Or install terminal emulator to type the commands written by khalpowers:
su
...
exit

Master solution. Refer to youtube: "adb shell" if you're a noob.

Just use root explorer to rename the extension from .ogg to .bak. then the sound will be gone.

u can do what khalpowers suggested in terminal emulator app after typing "su" for superuser permisions. no adb for me.

shutter sound is easy to remove, but has anyone found a way to remove the focus noise? (its a beep-beep noise)

Just flash one of the custom ROM.

Long way to go when all you have to do is change your camera sound from .oog to .bak in /system/media/audio/ui/
Plus if you remove it and then decide to sell your phone or have to turn it back in, you have to find that file again. This way all you have to do to turn it back on is change it back from .bak to .oog and viola, it is back.
Far far easier just to do that. Don't need adb, don't need to flash another rom. Just make sure in Root Explorer you are RW and not RO.

That's what I just said... and its .ogg not .oog. and lol installing a custom ROM might not necessarily remove the shutter sound.

[MOD] Six(6) Lockscreens & Power Menu + Clock Options for KC1 [EDT][4.22.2011]

Ok everyone. Here is the lockscreen mod, power menu AND additional clock options for KC1. This will NOT work on Krylon's stock build but ONLY my deodexed one. Since there is no cwm yet you will need to push the files manually with adb or use root explorer to drop them in. Root Explorer is the easiest method. Just be sure to set permissions on all the files to rw-r--r-- after you copy them in.
Lockscreens are Rotary (default), Puzzle, Android, Glass, Epic and Star Wars (Settings > Display > Unlock Screen)(Please be aware - Lockscreen wallpapers are not supported on any of these)
Power Menu (no header) - Reboot, Recovery, Download mode
Clock Options - Hide Clock, Hide am/pm (Settings > Date and Time)
Added "Stay Awake" option (Settings > Applications > Development)
Pretty sure I killed the "battery full" pop-up as well
DOWNLOAD <<<<< KC1 Lockscreens / Power Menu / Clock Options
If using adb here is what to do...
Place the files in the zip in your adb tools folder. Navigate to your tools folder in your cmd prompt and perform these commands
First, mount your system as r/w
Code:
adb shell
su (will need to accept root access on phone)
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
Your system is now mounted as read/write. Now remove the original files from your phone.
Code:
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
rm /system/framework/framework.jar
rm /system/framework/android.policy.jar
rm /system/framework/services.jar
rm /system/app/Settings.apk
exit
exit
Now push the new files into place.
framework files to framework folder
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb push framework.jar /system/framework
adb push android.policy.jar /system/framework
adb push services.jar /system/framework
Settings to app folder
Code:
adb push Settings.apk /system/app
Now the files are all in place, but you need to set the correct permission on them.
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework.jar
chmod 644 /system/framework/android.policy.jar
chmod 644 /system/framework/services.jar
chmod 644 /system/app/Settings.apk
DONE. Now reboot your phone. It will take about 5 minutes to reboot.
Again, you can use Root Explorer to move these files into place manually. Just be sure to set the permissions of all of them to rw-r--r-- after you do.

I would honestly learn the basics before you try any of this.

i allready flashed stock deodexed kc1 rom onto my phone in hopes of putting on the lockscreens but i just wanted to know if the root explorer method was easier like he stated up there

I really want these....but its quite painful setting up all my sync'ed accounts again after flashing. I went from Deodexed to Krylon's Odexed Stock, to go back to Deodexed would be a painful process again to get all my accounts set back up and app's loaded + moved to SD. Also fixing the camera/mms/phone issue with the Deodexed ROM on top of that.
Anybody else have any thoughts? Just do it? Haha

I used ES File Explorer, go into settings, and check the two boxes in Root setting.
Then go to the directory where the zip is saved, extract and copy paste to the right directories. Once that was done I rebooted. It took 5 min or so to boot but It came up. Once done go into settings and change lockscreen.
Worked like a charm for me. Thanks!!!

Oh boy, so I was able to do this via ADB.
But thought I would also try and do it with Root Explorer. I am bored at my job today.
I copied the files to the sdcard. Then opened Root explorer, located the files, using multi- select I selected all but the settings file that goes into the system/app.
I then hit copy/ then tried to paste the four files to system/framework
I get an error that says there isn't enough space. Then I get all sorts of force closes, and have to re-odin the deodexed KC1.
What the hell am I doing wrong? I am sure I am just having a brain fart but its becoming irritating.

I had the same problem with another framework, and cringed when I tried this method. BUT, I used ES File explorer for this mod and everything worked like a charm. I didnt have to set permissions or anything.

[Q] Blur Camera won't install

Alright so here's my problem: After rooting my phone, I started to play around with a couple of camera apps from different ROMs such as MIUI. Me being an idiot though, deleted the stock Blur camera Apk. Using a system dump of the Atrix, 2 I tried to reinstall it, by placing it in system/app. For some reason. It wouldn't install (show up on my app directory). Anybody have any idea as to why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I really need a camera app.that's supports 1080p video. Thanks in advance!!!

To copy anything to /system/app, you need root access.
This will be a 2 step process.
1) push the file from your computer to your phone in a directory that the shell has access to, i.e. /data/local for instance.
2) adb shell into the phone and su, remount /system as rw, then cp the file from /data/local/ to /system/bin
That should elimiate the issue with permission denied, with adb push.

Ok, run EVERYTHING between Code:, and End code from the command line. Just make sure you are in the directory you saved your backup camera.apk to, from your windows command prompt, before you run the commands below.
Code:
adb push BlurCamera.apk /data/local
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cd /data/local
cp BlurCamera.apk /system/app
chown root /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
chgrp root /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
mount -o remount, ro /system
exit
exit
End code
That should hopefully fix it.

Go into file explorer and make sure your system folder is r/w along with both the blurcamera.apk and blurcamera.odex.... then drop both of them into system/app and reboot. Wouldn't think anything else would be interfering?

Im not sure if it really matters on them but long pressing on either of them in file explorer should bring up the permissions and you can change from there. Do the same on your system folder just to double check that the permissions are correct

[Q] Unlock APN

Hi There,
I bought an atrix 2 that is supposedly unlocked and rooted. I download a root checker and it says it is rooted. I was reading that if it is unlocked that u can use a different carrier which I have been. The phone was set up at the beginning to use T Mobile with a APN set up for this carrier and it worked fine. To save some money I switched to simple mobile which is also working fine. This might seem petty but the T Moblie APN is locked and i would like to delete it but dont know how. Can anyone help? My phone is running the currant ICS 4.0 update.
Thank you

If you really must remove it, there is only one way.... I will tell you that it is a little dangerous if you mess up you will bootloop and have to fxz.
You will need the android SDK.
Your phone needs to be rooted.
You need to use adb to pull the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file to your computer.
Code:
adb pull /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
Now you can edit it with any text editor you want, and you will need to remove the whole block that has the tmo APN.
You will need to mount /system read write:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
exit
exit
Then using adb put it back in place with this:
Code:
adb push apns-conf.xml /data/local
adb shell
su
cp /data/local/apns-conf.xml /system/etc
exit
exit
And do this to set the perms and owner correctly:
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 644 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
chown root /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
chgrp root /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
mount -o remount, ro /system
exit

Now you can also just leave it there and it will hurt nothing.
Yes some things on this phone are harder to hack, but to me that makes it a little more fun and challenging.

Editing File

If you really must remove it, there is only one way.... I will tell you that it is a little dangerous if you mess up you will bootloop and have to fxz.
You will need the android SDK.
Your phone needs to be rooted.
You need to use adb to pull the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file to your computer.
Code:
adb pull /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
Now you can edit it with any text editor you want, and you will need to remove the whole block that has the tmo APN.
You will need to mount /system read write:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
exit
exit
Then using adb put it back in place with this:
Code:
adb push apns-conf.xml /data/local
adb shell
su
cp /data/local/apns-conf.xml /system/etc
exit
exit
And do this to set the perms and owner correctly:
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 644 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
chown root /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
chgrp root /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
mount -o remount, ro /system
exit
exit
Now you can also just leave it there and it will hurt nothing.

You did not follow my directions then. I gave you every step. Take another look, as you can not copy files directly to /system/etc with out root perms.

permission denied

So Again, you can not just push the file to /system/etc.... follow that above and it will work, I do this all the time.

I do it exactly as u posted.

I do it exactly as u say changing it to read write and that part goes fine. When i try pushing the file after that I get permission denied.
