google navigation gps fix

open the zip on the phone there should be 2 files put them in system/lib/hw directory using root explorer or a program like it
hope it works for you like it did for me

Damn! I really want to try this but I cant write to my system directory. It wont mount R/W.
Also, you say there should be 2 files but there is only 1 in the zip file.

Trying this now...

Yes. Says "hw permissions cannot be changed because the file system is read-only".
Also, when I extract it on the phone there is only 1 file. gps.spade.so.

I see the button but when I press it, it doesnt change. I copied the zip file to the SD card and extracted it there.

Found a thread that told how to make the system folder r/w.
Open terminal and type:
su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

Qbills, copied the file over and I must say I think it works!
I am actually getting a GPS lock and with my case still on. I could NEVER get a lock with the case on and only occasionally with the case off.
Thanks!

Holy cow! Just got a lock in the house. It's like a miracle.

That change took my GPS offline - it wont even turn on, so it didn't work for me. Thanks for posting though - I'm trying everything I can to get GPS running again

reflash your radio? It worked for me to get the gps icon back but as I'm in the house I don't know if it works to get me lock yet

yeah i know sometimes it does i just tried it again and it took awhile but for the most part it locks in about 2min or less where as before it wouldnt lock at all but i know what u r saying about the 20min

Ill try that when I get back to my computer. Also, has anyone tried a reboot after applying this file? I had to reinstall maps since navigation wouldn't open.

[Q] Boot Animation

So, I've become pretty good @ UOT Kitchen now. However, I keep attempting to flash a new Boot Animation to my phone and the boot anim never changes. I'm using the "Froyo Default" path. I even checked the path myself and found the bootanimation.zip as well. Would it be safe to unzip the UOT file to my sd card and physically "pluck" the bootanimation.zip into the path and delete the older one?

My PM prolly just answered your problem here.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but im having this problem to? How do I put the new bootanimation? When I try to push with adb, it says the filesystem is read only.

Before you do the adb push, type the adb remount command. It mounts the system as rewritable

Are you doing it in cwm or just while the OS is running? Doing it in cwm is probably easier, just make sure /system is mounted in the cwm menu.

Got it, thanks guys.

Using DROID explorer is much easier to drag and drop files

[MOD][THEME] Basic Black (5.24.11)

Hey all.
I was messing around today and decided to post this. If not for the current lack of development, I probably wouldn't even post this.
Just push twframework-res.apk with adb, root explorer or root manager. be sure you overwrite the existing .apk.
The screenshot posted below was taken on the fly. you'll notice I'm using TEAM AERODKNG's Notification bar... Frankly, their theme is radness, but I thought maybe someone would want a little change!
word up, folks. happy MoDding.

Quick question, is this twframework-res supposed to replace framework-res? If not i screwed up. I havent had to restore from CWM, anyway I can get my backup restored? I copied the original to SD.

LOL Corradokng hooked it up with a flashable framework-res.apk. Im back and will try this again. Im a goof ball and didnt check but since im back up i went into system/framework and see the following files, twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk. I mistakenly changed the name and pasted, which softbricked.
I slapped myself in the head and tested again. Worked like a charm! I like the look, way better than before.
NOTE: Copy file to System/Framework folder

i wanna test it out. could just explain to me what you mean by push? where or oveer what do i put the .apk? thanks

go into framework folder and copy twframework-res.apk to a safe place on your sd card, in case you want to revert. With the file in the OP paste it into that directory, making sure you have w/r in root explorer or whatever you use.

try supermanager, root explorer for some reason hasnt been playing to nicely with system files and binary files.
if your follwing the process verbatim and nothing is happening try super manager or another file manager with root permissions. It should work without a hitch

Wat do u mean by u can't do a restore with cwm beta 3?.... i have had crash issues and restored my fone 4times already from recovery....... so i'm guessing ur sayin i'm lucky? i didnt know or think restore and backup was an issue on cwm_Beta3..

Are you saying you have successfully done a full restore of a full nandroid backup?? If so that would be a big deal since I think that was the last issue with the cwm beta. Drhonk was saying he got a full restore to work at least without error but it hung on reboot.

@Ricky download file to your computer hook your phone up to the computer mount phone to computer (USB mass storage) right click file go down to send to and send it to the proper mass storage for your phone I have vista so that's how it works for me that should put the file on the root of your SD card open root explorer first go into system/framework go down to the twres apk long press it and select copy you will see paste at the bottom of your screen hit the back button twice go down to SD and put the copy in any sub folder you may want I use downloads then go down to the new file on your SD card from robbitt long press it hit move go back to system/framework in the upper right hand corner you will see a r/w press that then hit paste it will say it already exists do u want overwrite click yes back out then reboot should work with no problem.I think what u did was move the orig twres file instead of copying it hope this helps you.And thanks to robbitt love this mod sometimes its just the little things

Did you mount the system as RW? Root explorer should work just fine. The stock one is named ozemail.apk and some roms have it labeled as email.apk.

yes i did mount it as rw, but still no go.
i've tried to move the file and copy the file, and progress bar pops up for second and nothing is changed in directory.

Just download it through Gummy Toolbox on the phone. Works fine...

thank you so much!
it solved it.

If you're using a Gummy ROM, open Terminal Emulator, type "SU", press enter, type "Gummytoolbox", press enter, type the number that corresponds with install/delete apps ("1" on GC GBE 1.8) press enter, then choose the number that corresponds with "TWemail". It will download and install it for you.

Yah he put it in gbe but not froyo. Was hoping someone had the actual apk as I am running froyo atm.

Stock AT&T Infuse systems app

Can someone please upload their Infuse stock system app folder (/system/app). I am in need of those apps and can't seem to find a zip of the stock rom. I have the 2.2.1 i997UCKD5. Or if anyone knows a link for that.

I think what you're looking for is in the stock rom packages
download gtg's unbrick.

use winRar (or similar) and right click to open the package.

You're right. I didn't realize the factory.rfs did not unpack further.
You might have to see if anyone who had odin theirs back to stock, extract it and upload it.
Can I ask why you need it?
Can you not just root your phone, use titanium back up for everything, odin back to stock and re-install your back up?

The factory.rfs can be mounted as a loop device in linux. Then you can copy any files you need.

Or just extract the factoryfs.rfs with magik iso ....20 seconds and done...all apps will be in there..easier than a loop in linux

Depends on which OS you are using at the moment and how fast you type the mount command, really. Takes me longer to boot Windows and install Magic Iso than it does to type mount -o loop, but okay.

Totally understand how it works, and if you're on Windows, it's great to have that option. It's no better an option than I offered. It is just as easy for me to type, especially when I'm already looking at a Slackware bash shell.

I don't have the programming background for linux but I can do windows.

And D, I was just giving you a hard time. I'm more of a linux guy, and am surprised at how much Android hacking has me on Windows. I hadn't tried MagicIso, so thanks for the tip. I know that most on here are using Windows or Mac.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Well shoot, I just found out the hard way that I shouldn't do too much to a .rfs image while mounted as a loop device in Linux. It works okay to pull some files, but since .rfs is a proprietary file system, permissions don't stick or work quite like you would think when changing files on the mounted image. So, extracting with MagicIso may just be a better way to go anyway before manipulating these rom filesystems.
