You need the android SDK..
then you goto the tools folder within the download and use adb shell.

Android SDK is - if explained by simple means - a tool on the computer that gives it's user the ability to "customise" , "code" , "1337ise" his Android ( 1337 in videogaming usually refers to elite players ) and it is used in the making of All ROMs ( Operating system would give a close meaning ) that you see on the internet like the Cyanogen one , etc... If you are looking for Android SDK you will find it on

run RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.1_Radio_12.21.60.12_26.02.00.09_M_test_148662.exe in Windows box.Then some dialog appear(which include a 'next' button), look for your windows' temp dir, search the newest dir created by RUU, then copy rom.zip(about 277M) to another dir(or RUU will delete it automaticly).
send this rom.zip to Linux box,
in Linux box, unzip rom.zip, then
Code:
mkdir system
mount -o loop,ro system.img system
all files in system dir. you can simply copy files from it.

In opera scrolling has become jerky if u know what I mean. And no I don't have any lagfix installed. Btw if fadefx wants he can use my reply as quote in his thread. Regards.

[Q] ClockworkModRecovery (Only wants to wipe data) [SOLVED - Read / Scroll Down]

Ok, so i have a fresh new stock of 21e flashed onto my phone. Rooted with no errors, and I have Clockwork ROM Manager installed.
If I use the app to boot into recovery my phone just automatically Wipes all data then loads back up as if a fresh install was done, so I thought I would check the problem out myself (Power and vol.down), and the only options I have in the Clockwork Boot Menu are as follows:
Android system recovery <3e>
Confirm wipe of all user data?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.

I can not go back any further, they are my only options in boot recovery of which I find extremely odd. (Until this is sorted I can not install a new ROM/Kernel and fix my network)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Try doing the flashing manually. Download the recovery image from www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager (choose touch for P920, nothing else), then open adb in cmd and type the following commands with phone plugged in:
adb push <image name>.img /data/local/tmp
adb shell su -c "dd if=/data/local/tmp/<image name>.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096"
adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/<image name>.img"
Replace <image name> with the filename of the img. If everything checks out, you should be able to boot into CWM. If you get errors, post them here

It's not using ROM Manager to BOOT into recovery.
It's using ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod that was the issue.

Very weird indeed. I also have flashed yhe 21E rom from LG. Next I rooted the phone and installed CWM touch. I have no problems with it.

[TOOL] DEXO – universal odex tool | HOW-TO move lib to /system/lib without reflash

DISCLAIMER: I am not the author of this tool!

Why does it give better battery life? Thank you.
Click to expand...

Because it splits the .apk (app package) into two parts, the .apk and a .odex file. Usually, for the phone to use an app, it has to decompile the .apk and get the parts it needs to run the app. With the odex files, which stands for "Optimized Dex" the startup time is much faster since the phone doesn't have to perform any optimizing at startup/runtime, and because of that, it also uses less CPU power, and thus makes it faster, smoother, and battery life is increased.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OK. So what is this tool?
This tool doesn’t deal with partially odexed ROMs. This tool is for odexing a ROM that is completely DEODEX.
The benefits? Faster boot, smaller imprint on /data/ partition, overall faster feeling
The myths? I can’t theme ODEX! WRONG! You can theme odex just fine! Just use baksmali and smali.

Requirements:Of the author:
adb
Linux, Mac OS X, Windows
Android device with busybox
Four minutes of your day
Added by me:
You have finally settled on a ROM that you want to use for some time without an intention to modify it further
You will need about 100 MB free space on system (my free space decreased from 160 MB to 96 MB after the completion of the process) To free some you can delete some apps from /system/app or move them to /data/app with a root file explorer (do not forget to set the correct permissions afterwards) or even better: to move your /system/lib folder to the lib partition without reflashing the ROM (see below for details)
Tested on Fallout 5.0 and Virtuous Infinity 1.35 with my Tweaked3 8.6 kernel. If you are using this it is at your own will and risk
NOT WORKING on CoolDroid and Sabsa Prime 6.5, probably because they have mixed framework from different Sense versions! Do not do on other similar ROMs only on ones with an original (even modded) framework!
Procedure:Go here and read carefully. It is basically some adb commands.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------How to free about 120 MB space on /system by moving the lib folder to its dedicated partition without reflashing the ROM
This is only for ICS Sense ROMs. AOSP ROMs have enough free space to run the script without issues. I am not sure about the GB Sense ROMs, but if I remember correct they have enough free space on /system too. (if I am wrong please PM me to add GB Sense boot.img)
Requirements:
Bootloader with /system/lib support: 2.xx or 7.xx
150 MB free space on your SDcard
adb drivers installed (link in my signature)

Extract the archive in the folder where your fastboot executable is. This is not a flashable zip!​NOTE: your ROM has to be on the same version of the kernel before the procedure, otherwise your WiFi will stop working. Or you will need to download the zip from the kernel thread and copy the modules to /system/lib/modules manually giving them right permissions (644 or -rw-r--r--)​Procedure:# Connect the device to PC, open Command Prompt (cmd) and browse to the folder where are your adb and fastboot executables are (example: cd C:\android-tools)
# Reboot to Recovery (4EXT recommended)
Code:
adb reboot recovery
# Make a Nandroid backup
# Mount manually /system and /sdcard from the "mounts | storage" menu of the Recovery
# Copy the content of /system/lib to the SDcard
Code:
adb shell
mkdir /sdcard/system
cp -r /system/lib /sdcard/system
# Clean /system/lib
Code:
rm -r /system/lib
# Recreate empty /system/lib and set permissions
Code:
mkdir /system/lib
chmod 755 /system/lib
# Unmount manually /system from the "mounts | storage" menu of the Recovery
# Mount manually /system_lib from the "mounts | storage" menu of the Recovery
# Copy the lib contents to /system/lib
Code:
cp -r /sdcard/system/lib/* /system_lib
# Set permissions to /system/lib
Code:
cd /system_lib
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

rm -r /sdcard/system
exit
# Unmount manually /system_lib and /sdcard from the "mounts | storage" menu of the Recovery
# Reboot to bootloader
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
# Flash the boot.img and reboot
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot XXX_lib_boot.img
fastboot reboot
Now you can use the tool above without concerns about free space
Enjoy!

Sorry, my fault! I thought this come after the 5 steps.

if a rom is zipaligned, doesn't this mean that there's no need being odexed - kind of same thing? (same performance, battery life...)
i've read that, but i'm no expert...

Zipaligning is about better RAM utilization. Odexing is about reducing the Dalvik VM which in theory should reduce CPU use and make the system run smoothly. You can watch the video, it is made by one of the Elite Recognized Developers of XDA so this guy probably knows what he is talking about. Moreover ALL Stock ROMs are odexed and I am sure that the companies developers are not just too lame to use it for nothing

tried the above...pasted something wrong and now phone stuck on htc screen and can't get into recovery

Have you provided enough free space on your system partition? Try with a factory reset.
And once again:
If you are using this it is at your own will and risk

i think it was due to less space but still will try it once again after making space

Was a hard task to get enough space free.
Let's see how it works now.

Yes this may be an issue with the bigger ROMs. The easiest way is to move some app that you use rarely to /data/apps
The other way is to use the lib partition but this needs ramdisk modification and a hboot that supports it. It is not hard I may add a small how-to if more users want to use this tool

This would b great, I did it once for Fallout with one of your kernel ramdisks, but it was not so trivial and a pain in the a** doing this all by hand. Though it worked perfectly, I don't remember every step I did, and mayb I didn't do it the elegant way, as I'm not very experienced.
As far as I remember the complicated part was unpacking kernel+ramdisk, modifing ramdisk, repacking everything and signing it. But this has to be done only once (by one idividual) for every kernel (+ramdisk). The rest ist more or less flashing and copying from /system to /system/lib partition (can be done in recovery easily). The latter mayb realised with one single script installer for every kernel (and rom) I guess. But here I also lack the experince with script installers, elsewise I would have shared the info.
I did it on Windows with bootimg-tools via Cygwin (unpacking, repacking), with SignApk on cmd (signing), in recovery (flashing, copying). For flashing I guess fastboot is more elegant (reflashed whole rom with mod boot.img). For the rest I didn't found something more convinient, but maybe soemone can enlighten me.

HOW-TO move your /system/lib folder to the dedicated partition added to the first post. Tested and verified working. Just copy the commands carefully
Enjoy!

Thx, the new guide worked like a charm for me on Fallout v5.0.0 with your kernel v8.5. I think it is more or less what I did, when it worked for me before. Also the odexing stuff worked well. What I am just wondering about, as this is odexing Rosie, will this affect the Fallout Tweaks for Rosie? And I tended to use Titanium Backup to merge updated system apps (like Facebook) into rom (essentially moving to system I guess), are there any drawbacks doing it with odexed apps?

All apps will work the same way after odexing. I can confirm all Rosie tweaks in Fallout working.
As per the Titanium stuff I have no idea try it and let us know

when I am trying to copy /sdcard/system/lib to /system_lib it is showing not enough space....
Also in 4extrecovery - two system_lib are showing...
Any ideas?
BTW I am on Fallout 5.0...
