Or am I just out of luck? I'm at work and don't have administrator rights, so I can't install ADB drivers either. Is there another program I can use?
(depending on the app) just use a file manager to install.

you could always drag and drop the apk to your sdcard and use a file explorer on your phone to install the apks

I'm needing to install a couple of HTC apps that aren't included with the RegawMOD app (quickoffice, pdfreader, and the navigator interface). Is that possible using a file manager?

yes it is.
should work, i think you can install new .apk's through file manager, not overwrite. or thats my experience.

(depending on app) file explorers use package installer to install the apps, overwriting is more than possible.

Yup
you can, and if it says "Install failed" or something close to that, you can always use the "move" or "cut" function in the explorer to just paste it into the directory you want it in. then reboot.

interested reg, i didnt know you could paste in the desired directory and a simple reboot would install.

No reboot required if you're using root explorer. Matter of fact, I always export my ringtones directly from SD card to sys/media/audio/ringtone w/ every flash of a new rom, and they'll stay in the system for the duration of future flashes (until complete wipe anyways..)
Thanks guys. I was able to use ASTRO File Manager and it worked like a charm.
Now I just gotta find a few more apk's that I need.

When you plug the usb in does it show that it detected a device but can install the drivers? If so and you have the sdk tool kit on your pc you can push via the adb command to the phone. I had the same issue at work could see or load any drivers for my phone but was able to push everything to my phone.
OK so i put this in and it works like a charm...... i am running CM6-RC1 with BF Kernel and again it works like a charm....
i did not make this...... just felt like i should share the love....
Steps i took to put this in...
adb pull bootanimation.zip
deleted it from the adb tool folder
adb push this back to /system/media...
adb reboot and enjoy......
if anybody knows how to put the mp3 in and make it work let me
know i have it.....
Ps... i would like to have the sound in it but cant get it to work
if you know how to do it please let me know.......
This looks awesome thenx 4 sharing
cool.... let me know if it worked for you.....
Np..ill do it in like 10 min

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

i botched a simple bootanimation.zip change. i also cannot find the steps i was following. i have a sensation ARHD brand new version. i chose a bootanimation i like followed the steps using the program File expert. i copied and pasted into, if i remember properly /data/local once i hit paste a prompt came up and i i saw that i chose overwrite accidentally, but i didnt get a chance to read it. in any case it didnt work rebooted/powered off my phone and now the /data folder is not showing and under system/ i believe there used to be a data folder in there as well. What did i do? where are those folders? How can i successfully change my bootanimation? im new please be gentle with me.
I'm going to help you
First thing I need to know before we go any further, Do you have a Nandroid of your ROM?
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
Nope the only back up i did was with CWM and i know Nandroid is a backup but i dont know how to do it.
thanks for responding
there is no /system/data...there's /system and /data..
Are you having issues or did you just think something went wrong bc you cant find that directory?

A backup in CWM is a nandroid..In the old Amon recovery it was just called a nandroid and is stil typically referred to as that, but a backup in CWM is the same.
If the bootanimation didn't change (or changed to nothing), you probably need to set the permissions...This can be done a few ways, either thru the command prompt or a file explorer. You need to give it read and execute permissions..From the command prompt you should be able to run "chmod 777 /system/media/bootanimation.zip" and that should work fine
no issues thankfully. just believe something went wrong bc i couldnt find that directory.
Also try another app such as root explorer. Some of these apps have a hard time reading /data.

Theres a free file explorer on here called "root browser" that works great.
I think the issue here is the file permissions.
Hello,
I am pretty new to all this stuff but I am running Virtuous Quattro RC4 on my Desire S and in the Development thread someone recommended installaing the camera from Miui ICS.
I have the APK for the camera but I am stumped when it comes to the actual process of installing as a system app.
Can someone give me or point me in the direction of a simple, step by step guide to acheiving this please?
Thanks guys,
Andy.

Use root explorer, copy file, navigate to destiny, switch to r/w on top of the screen, paste.

use translator for destiny. It's the folder where you want to put your things. Your aim, your goal, destination folder.
In your case the destiny folder is like I said /system/apps/

Ok, thanks, I have done this but when I press the r/w button, nothing happens.
Well... You should get a message in top left corner, that it's mounted as r/w. That allows You to overwrite files.
Nope, doesn't happen....
Other issues are that Root Checker Basic says not rooted but Titanium Backup says I am rooted????? also Busybox keeps getting denied by Superuser.......
Any ideas what's going on here?
Ok I re-installed the VQRC4 and I now have R/W via Root Explorer, however another problem has arisen.....
Whenever I try to paste the APK into the App folder I get an error message saying that there isn't enough room to paste the file...........

System update
Thought i'd put this on it's own thread so it doesn't get lost in the sea of comments where i put it originally. Mods, if this belongs somewhere else please move.
For anyone wanting to change their emoji and not sure if you want to use that switcher app, its very simple. Install ES file explorer (i can't imagine most of you don't already have it) and go to system/fonts and locate "NoToColorEmojii.ttf" and rename it to your liking (i just renamed it with NoToColorEmojii_OLD.ttf). Then download a replacement TTF emoji file, i used this one :
http://www.mediafire.com/file/oe85f3h5mj0731k/NotoColorEmoji.ttf
NEW WORKING LINK POSTED
download it and put it in the same folder the old one is in, reboot your phone, and viola, you're good to go.
Hope this helps!

Im rooted and still cant edit system files. I re-ran the recowvery script, and when i got to TWRP, I swiped to allow changes to the system partition. Then flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip then flashed SuperSu.
I am certain about root priviliges. SuperSU prompts me when root is required, and I am using a custom rom.
I used a script in the app RomManager to mount system RW to no avail.
I am using ES File Manager. I dont understand this, so any help is appreciated. Thanks

I'm not a noob by any stretch but I'm feeling like one again with this LG stuff so just to clarify this is basically just a guess, but if you're positive you have root access then it sounds like the problem could be with the file explorer you're using. I don't use es file explorer myself so if it is the problem I couldn't tell you why, but I use solid explorer and I haven't had any issues with modifying system files. Anyway just thought I'd throw it out there in case you haven't already tried with a different file explorer. Hope it helps

That's good advice. My first thought exactly. I think the real problem was i had assumed the rom came with Busybox already installed. I installed Busybox when scripts for read/write access wouldnt run in apps that required it. Now things work perfectly.

It's funny because I had a similar problem when I first installed Adaway because it would download the updated host but it kept failing to install, and then it finally dawned on me when I was doing something else that required busybox that it wasn't already installed because for some reason I also had just assumed it was. Anyway I'm glad to hear you got it figured out ?
