I don't have the .apk for HTC Navigation, but when/if you do get it, just to to system/app and rename your current nav application (i.e. navigation.apk.old) if you don't want it to show up in your app list, but don't want to uninstall.

hmm, could you kindly explain what "pushing" is, and how to do it?
my android pushing and pulling files.
for those of you new to android and adb.
ok here is the real answer
pulled directly from android developer tools.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Copying Files to or from an Emulator/Device Instance
You can use the adb commands pull and push to copy files to and from an emulator/device instance's data file. Unlike the install command, which only copies an .apk file to a specific location, the pull and push commands let you copy arbitrary directories and files to any location in an emulator/device instance.
To copy a file or directory (recursively) from the emulator or device, use
adb pull <remote> <local>To copy a file or directory (recursively) to the emulator or device, use
adb push <local> <remote>In the commands, <local> and <remote> refer to the paths to the target files/directory on your development machine (local) and on the emulator/device instance (remote).
Here's an example:
adb push foo.txt /sdcard/foo.txt
How to push the file via your sd card
So for an example on pushing a file from a computer to phone make sure you are in recovery mode. And assuming you have the apk somewhere on your sd card. Open command prompt and navigate to your sdk-tools to use adb. THIS EXAMPLE IS STRAIGHT FROM FRESH THATS WHY I SAYS ..../FRESH-REMOVED-APKS/. That is just the location on your sd card so this is where you need to type where the file is. WHATEVERAPP.apk thats what the apk name is. Make sure that it is the same spelling and spacing/no spacing as well. notice the space after .apk as well. Now you are ready simply type the following commands (enter at the end of each line.) Last line is simply where your file is on your sdcard then the file name as it appears in the file on your sd card. Hope this helps!
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb shell mount /system
adb shell
cp /sdcard/fresh-removed-apks/WHATEVERAPP.apk /system/app
Hi,
**
Based on the init script explained in this thread, i've developed a application that allows to plug and unplug folders like device disks.
**
*** This application is in BETA stage ***
*** and requires root privileges ***
Many devices have two storage units (internal and external).
Most programs (games, GPS, etc) do not check this and work with internal storage memory.
This is useful for all users, some of whom prefer to store their data in external memory (removable).
In some cases (not all) can be made for a particular application to work on external memory rather than internal, but this is not always possible, especially because the external memory does not support unix soft-links.
To avoid this, I developed an application that can be mapped to internal memory (in fact in any directory on the device) a directory that is in the external memory (or elsewhere), which allows to solve the problem.
With this application you can access from any location to the data are physically located in another directory and query, modify and even delete them.
In addition, the application detects when you connect the terminal to another computer (PC, laptop, etc) and rolls back the operation to avoid problems. When the connection ends, the links are restored automatically.
INSTRUCTIONS
Start the application and allow to get root privileges
Click the menu key and click preferences menuitem to enable/disable mount on boot, then click back to go the main screen
Click the menu key and click Edit menuitem to edit mountpoints
In the edit mountpoints screen click the menu key in order to activate menu, that shows two options: delete all (deletes all added mountpoints) and insert new.
The insert new mountpoint screen allows to create a new mountpoint.
In the edit mountpoints screen, the defined mountpoints have their own contextual menu, that allows to delete, mount and unmount a mountpoint.
In the edit mountpoints screen, each mountpoint is represented by a icon (grayed or yellow) that indicates if the mountpoint is active (yellow) or inactive (grayed).
Also, i shows the source and target folders and a checkbox that indicates if the mountpoint is automounted on boot (if you've enabled in preferences screen).
********** UPDATE ***********
*** SOURCE CODE RELEASED ***
At this moment I have no time to update this app.
I have uploaded to GitHub and published the source code in GPL.
I agre if any people, can solve the app issues.
https://github.com/RYO-Software/Folders-Plug.git
Nice, that's what I'm waiting for.
FoldersPlug 1.0.0-beta1 is attached to first post.
I agree to you very much if you test it and report issues (if any ).
added instructions in first post.
I have two phones, Milestone 2 and SGSII. Today I tested on Milestone first but without success. The phone has 8GB build in Flash and 32GB add on SDCard. I tried to link from 'external' SDHC to the build in 8GB, but it doesn't work. The Phone uses the build in 8GB to store the installed apps, this could be the problem.
I tried some directories for the links, but the mount function fails. After some FC's and dead loops I'm now unable to copy manually files to the internal Storage.
Next tests will be on the SGSII, but I don't expect problems due to the easier environment.

hi,
first of all: thank's for your time
second: i have located the error
seems to me that your "mount" command don't supports my parameters.
you can exec "mount -h" in a terminal emulator or via adb and tell me the results?
thank's

Hi
I can confirm the same output of mount cmd as above on my galaxy p6800.
Is the --bind switch used or how does it work have read the script in the link you reffered to but surely you must have made some changes
/Calle
using p6200 - galaxy tab+
internal storage is known as sdcard and external being name as extStorages

please let me known if "mount --bind" shows a error.
in fact a error was triggered if you don't add the source and
target folders, but I'm interested on parameters error
This command works for me with the "-o bind", no errors
# mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard/extStorages/SdCard/LINKS/Download /mnt/sdcard/Download
updated apk in op post.
beta2 is working fine even in the emulator
Perfect works like a charm
Sorry for being late, now it's working on the Milestone II. But what I want to do will not work properly. The file system I want to use as storage is used by the system. Even if I change to rw, some of the target folder will be deleted and the files are gone.
There are a lot of different combinations I have to test further more.
Is there any way to include an option to change the file system (which holds the target 'mount point') rw as long as the mount is active?

There may be alot of guides out there how to make flashable zip of your ftf released by Sony ! But extracting ext4 files can be a headache !
I tried searching alot ! learned alot ! there were so many information that a Noob(like me) can be so much confused !
You can extract .ext4 file on windows also but that may cause BOOTLOOP also ! [PERSONAL EXPERIENCE]
So here are the simple steps to extract .ext4 files easily in linux !
1) open terminal
2) type
sudo nautilus
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this will open dialogue box with admin privilage
3) place ext4 file on the desktop and create a folder named mounted in the same directory
4)than type following in terminal,
sudo mount -o loop /root/desktop/system.ext4 /home/USERNAME/Desktop/mounted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(Basic Structure of that command is: sudo mount flag loop ext4 directory mounted directory !)
HERE;
/root/desktop/system.ext4 is the directory of .ext4 file
/home/USERNAME/Desktop/mounted is the directory of destination folder !
AND DONE ! You can grab those files and put in system folder of your zip file !
NOTE THAT: THIS EXTRACTED DATA WILL BE ODEXED !

nautilus is just for ubuntu, mention that you need to swap nautilus with your file manager if you're using a different distro other than ubuntu(e.g lubuntu= pcmanfm )
Also when using GUI and sudo, it's best to use gksudo instead of sudo.
Hi,
It works fine, so thanks for that, but I end up with a ''volume of 682 MB''. Unmounting and ejecting doesn't work and simply deleting it, also won't work. Does anyone have any idea how to remove this ''device'' from my system? It's quite annoying and takes in space.
Thanks!
Never mind , a reboot fixed it...

First off let me say that I am in no way a Linux user, but I tend to be quite resourceful when it comes to researching. This one is beginning to stump me. Second, I am using crunchbang {a Debian (Wheezy)} build and therefore I had to modify the coding a little bit.
This is what I did just to even get it to accept my query without issues
Code:
sudo nautilus
This pulled up my Desktop in File Manager with root privileges. I created the mounted folder and put the system.img.ext4 in the Desktop location. Debian, or crunchbang, does not have a physical Desktop for placing files, as far as I have learned, just this folder located in the root folder. Anyways, after doing those two things I did this
Code:
sudo mount -t ext4 /root/Desktop/system.img.ext4 /root/Desktop/mounted
This was the first code I tried that didn't return any error about the location, fs, or anything. Feeling hopeful that I had finally figured out and was going to be able to access my system.img I look at my Desktop folder and open up the mounted folder, what do I see? Lost+Found folder with nothing in it, and a hidden folder called .Trash-0 which contains two folders "files" and "info". "files" contains a folder just like the non-hidden lost+found with nothing in it and the "info" folder which contains an 0byte file titled lost+foundinfo. My system file is over 2GB in size, so I am at a standstill because I do not know how to proceed.

trying to use that code with flag and/or loop returns this
Code:
Usage: mount -V : print version
mount -h : print this help
mount : list mounted filesystems
mount -l : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
mount device : mount device at the known place
mount directory : mount known device here
mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
mount --move olddir newdir
One can change the type of mount containing the directory dir:
mount --make-shared dir
mount --make-slave dir
mount --make-private dir
mount --make-unbindable dir
One can change the type of all the mounts in a mount subtree
containing the directory dir:
mount --make-rshared dir
mount --make-rslave dir
mount --make-rprivate dir
mount --make-runbindable dir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
For many more details, say man 8 mount .
Hello everyone, I have been looking for some time a way to exchange sdcard by extSdCard but in ROM 4.4 still fails with vold.fstab nor build.prop.
-First download the "Script Manager"
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager
-Create an "Internal" folder on your extSdCard
-Open a text editor and paste this line:
Code:
mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1/Internal /storage/emulated/legacy/
Save named "script.sh"
(You can adapt this code for your ROM)
-Cut out all the files from sdcard and paste into "storage/sdcard1/Internal"
-Open script manager, navigate to where you saved "script.sh". Click "Script / Executable" check Fav, Su, Boot, then "Save" and then "Run"
-Reboot
***I'm sorry if any mistake, do not speak English.***

How can I edit some xml files? I want to try the Gpu 1gz but my system fails to save the file once I open it.
I am rooted by the way
I don't think anyone really understands your post, so you haven't received any responses. XML files are just text files so any editor should work. You would need to be sure that you have read / write access to the file.

Ok, to make it more clear. I am trying to edit a XML file ( Yes Text file ) onthe Product/ETC folder.
The thing is once I open the file with any text editor, or even root browser and try to save the changes I made it gives an error saving file. Tge same thing goes to the Build.prob
If I edit something on it and try and save the changes they won't stick. All the access are correct, read and write permissions are set. Don't know why I can't save the files.
try to edit it on your sd card!
1.) copy xml file to sd
2.) edit and save to sd card
3.) rename original file to . bak
4.) copy xml file from sd card to target folder
5.) compare right permission management flag!!! (rw-r-r /644!)
6.) reboot
(use totalcommander app or similar for it!)
btw: if this doesn’t work for you, you can try the "fastboot" mode (adb shell and connected phone to your pc for it! - push/pull)
this should work going this way:
* you need usb drivers and mini adb to be installed.
* you have to connect phone to pc (debugging must be allowed!)
* check connection with > adb devices in fastboot mode
* if connected, you should be able to copy xml file to pc -> adb pull <source-path>/xxx.xml <target-path>
* then edit and safe xml to pc folder
* then copy file to phone -> adb push <source-path>/xxx.xml <target-path>
maybe you have to remount target folder r/w with:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /targetfolder
at first to be able to copy.
* set file permission with -> adb shell su -c "chmod -R 644 /target folder/xxx.xml"
BTW: following this description at your own risk!!! Maybe it doesn’t work!!
I have no own experiences with Mate 9!!
