Copying files from /data/data..

I'm having some problems copying the files i need from /data/data.. I'm using an old version of SUFBS (tried android mate also, same results), as root explorer is a paid app
So, the thing is, I'm finding the files i need, but when i try to copy them nothing happens. No errors. The files just don't appear where i sent them
Please help

I use estrongs file manager with root explorer turned on in options.

Yes, I have tried that too before but it doesn't work on my phone. It only works on Cyanogen and hiapk ROMs
Any more ideas?

Try this from 'adb shell' or a terminal emulator on your phone.
su
cp -rf /data/data/dirtocopy /sdcard/diryouwantyourfiles/
I think you'll need busybox installed as android doesn't come with cp.

Done.
Had to give up and use Root Explorer lol
Thanks anyway mercianary

you are the person who wanted the app, i just extracted it, try anywhere else on the forum cause i dont have a phone to test it

Oh my god ! I've an Atrix too and I want Sense Keyboard !! Where can I find someone to help me parsing this app ??

To install it you need root and knowledge of adb. Then use these commands
Code:
adb remount
adb push qhdkeyboard.apk /system/app
adb shell
su
chmod 644 /system/app/qhdkeyboard.apk
Then reboot

If you have Root Explorer you can copy it to /system/app after mounting R/W and the long press and change permissions to RW-R--R-- and reboot

is it possible for the atrix users to somehow extract the skype skin they have ....was playing arouind with one today and much prefer the white and black skin they have to the blue one...

with gimpsta you can make your own Sense's skin keyboard then you just have to install an apk
search gimpsta on google

This zip doesn't have a apk file in it... It has 2 .odex files... Do i place the 2 files in system/app or the folder, or the zip?

Would like to know as well.

So... Has anyone ported this and/ or got this to work on gingerbread dinc?

Installing the apk on your devices its not gonna work the apks are tied to framework which you don't have on atrix

We know it won't work... That's why we've been trying to get some one to deodex it and port it... Personally I need it for dinc not atrix.....

Bionic ROM boot animation sounds?

I have Bionix ROM and I'm trying to add sounds to my bionic boot animation. But there isn't a poweron folder and I tried putting it in the history folder but it still doesn't work. Is there any way to add sounds to the animation?
EDIT: Changed to Bionix ROM and it still hasn't worked. Also tried putting sound file in Notification file and no luck D:
Sent from my Chuck Norris fishbowl

I think it has to do with the kernel, faux kernels don't have boot sound. Dunno about morfic or stock kernels either since I only rock faux ds kernels when released.

What kernels do have boot sound?

testing a method...will post back results ...good or bad

I was able to get sound...tried lots n lots. There is a TON posted here on the subject...found my solution in the HTC forums. Don't have the link handy but search CM7 boot sound. There is a file called bootsnd.sh that will append the necessary files and create the bootsound app needed. To finally get this to work I reflashed a new nightly of CM7. This also removed Trinity kernel...so maybe that was mucking things up. Ill reflash Trinity and see.
But to recap ...yes boot sound on LG g2x with cm7 is a go.

OK, I'm going to try cm7. Will posts results to verify.

Taken from somewhere here in xda. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048231)
I cleared cache and dalvic using CWM.
I flashed a fresh CM7 nightly using CWM.
I Followed terminal emulator instructions...I'm sure adb from command line will work also. I used root explorer to copy android_audio.mp3 (don't forget to set system folder as R/W with root explorer.
1) search for and Download the bootsnd.sh file. Save it to the root directory of your SD Card on your Device.
2. Take whatever sound you want and rename it to: android_audio.mp3 (needs to be mp3 format) and then place in your adb directory.
3. On your phone, open terminal emulator, and type in the following:
su [enter]
cd /sdcard [enter]
ls (to list all files, you should see bootsnd.sh)
sh bootsnd.sh [enter]
You won't see a confirmation, or message, it just runs, and returns you to a # sign.
From your computer, adb push the android_audio.mp3 to the /system/media folder, reboot, and you'll have a sound.
If you don't like or know how to use adb, using root explorer and placing the android_audio.mp3 in the system/media folder works just as well (Mount the /system as R/W First). Reboot, and enjoy your boot sound.
*NOTE*
If you flash / change roms, you'll have to re-run the process to enable the boot sound again. If you get tired of it / don't want it, you can use root explorer and delete the file.
Alternate method:
For those that don't like using the terminal emulator, you can do it via adb:
navigate to your adb folder via commanda prompt, then issue the following commands:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /sdcard
ls [will list files, you should see bootsnd.sh]
sh bootsnd.sh
Like in the emulator, you will be returned with a # sign. Then place the audio file in the folder I specified. Just decided like posting an alt method

What do you mean by setting the system folder as R/W? It means read/write right? (lol write right)
EDIT: Plus how do I set it to R/W ( Sry im a little of a noob when it comes to things like this, im better at game developing )

Using a utility like Root Explorer (A paid app but worth the 4$, there may be a free alternative), makes this a trivial task...simply click the "Make R/W" will make the system directory ...you guessed it "Read/Writable". Normally its "Read Only" (R/O).
Im not 100% sure about this (im sure ill be corrected) as Root Explorer has made me lazy, but using ADB and issuing the command ADB Remount, will make the file system R/W (per the ADB Wiki adb remount - remounts the /system partition on the device read-write)
So using ADB to push your files, make all your edits on your local machine, then put them in your ADB directory, and issue commands as follows:
ADB remount
ADB push build.prop /system
ADB push init.local.rc /system/etc
ADB push bootsound /system/bin
ADB push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

Grr after I tried it it still doesn't work!!!
EDIT:Im reflashing ROM in case.
EDIT 2 : Yup didn't work.

Open terminal emulator and type
Su
Then at the # type bootsound
Do u hear sound? If not something is incorrect
If you do...then its your kernel.
Trinity breaks my bootsound.
Still looking for a fix

Just grab a root explorer such as solid explorer and copy the apk into /system/app. Then change its permissions to 644 (rw-r-r) and reboot

Init.d on embryo 7

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this init script?
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /
chmod 772 /storage
ln -s /storage/extSdCard /storage/sdcard1
chmod 550 /storage
busybox mount -o r,remount /
This works perfectly when executed from a terminal but when I put it in init.d, the sym link is not created.
I am just pasting this code in one of mohans init.d scripts and then turning it on from ROM customizer, so I know the permissions are right.

Assuming your write permissions are set does your destination spelled or typed out right? Does it exist? I know it sounds pretty simple but checking won't hurt
