What files do you have exactly? framework-res.apk? Phonebook.apk? Phone.apk
This thread as given above is taken that you have ADB installed on your computer.

Not sure if ADB is required but thats the only method I know of. A step by step guide (Might want to double check with advanced users)
1) Install ADB and set the environment variables, etc.
2) Go to the folder (Should be c:/android-sdk-windows/tools) and open adb.exe (If it flashes and auto closes, open up cmd [Start>Run>cmd] and drag the adb.exe into the cmd and press enter)
3) Put Phone In Debugging Mode Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
In ADB, type these commands
*Note that the commands are case sensitive*
Pull the files you are about to replace with the following commands:
cd c:/anrdroid-sdk-windows/tools
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-resk.apk
adb pull /system/app/Phonebook.apk
adb pull /system/app/Phone.apk
4) Now framework-res.apk, Phonebook.apk, and Phone.apk should be in your tools folder where your adb.exe is. Put these files somewhere safe.
5) Now drag your new framework-res.apk, Phonebook.apk, and Phone.apk into the tools folder.
6) Go back to adb and type the following command:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
7) Now these commands will move your new theme files to the sdcard:
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb push Phonebook.apk /sdcard/Phonebook.apk
adb push Phone.apk /sdcard/Phone.apk
8) Now these commands will install the new theme files in the sd card from the previous step:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Phonebook.apk of=/system/app/Phonebook.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Phone.apk of=/system/app/Phone.apk
9) Now your phone will restart (If not, manually restart) and your theme should be installed.

why every time i put the mount command it tells me "the device not found"
and the pull commands don't seems to work
i tried adb devices command but it seems it doesnt found my device

Mmm...maybe its sound dumb, but I'm a noob in this. How do you change the battery icon? Thx

You pull the framework-res.apk file and open it with 7-zip. Inside should be some folders and there should be a folder (forgot which one) with a bunch of pngs. Replace the battery icons with desired ones.

How do I install an apk to the /system/app folder?

Can someone please take the time to explain how to install apps in the system/app folder? I'm trying to install the superuser.apk app but I just dont want to install it where it can be deleted easily from the menu/settings/applications/manage applications. I want to install it the same way sprint installs their programs where root is required to remove. Thanks/

Place the superuser.apk in the tools folder of your sdk
Open up command prompt
Cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Abd push superuser.apk /system/app/
That's it, you're done. If you get a write permissions error, then you'll have to mount the /system folder. If you have remount installed, add adb remount before pushing the file. If not, then you'll have to add
adb shell
Yaffs2....mtdblock don't remember the entire phrase... or most of it. I just copy and past it from some of the write-ups... its in the manual root thread
Then:
Exit
Adb push...

Okay, I tried it and getting the following error. "failed to copy 'superuser.apk' : read-only file system. Then I did adb shell and it showed a $ then I typed in su and it showed a # then I did:
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system/app
Then that line repeated itself. So I tried Adb push superuser.apk /system/app/ again and now it says:
failed to copy 'superuser.apk' to '/system/app//superuser.apk' : Permission denied.
What am I missing?
I also tried adb remount /system/app/ and it says remount failed. No such file or directory.

Cool. Thanks. I haven't rooted my epic yet, so I haven't done any pushing. Pushing it to the hero as I described always works fine, then again, it may have to do with remount being on all the roms I used.

[Q] Please help translate some adb instructions into terminal emulator commands

Hi
I have Huawei u8150, Android 2.2, Rooted with z4root.
I want to give widgetsoid access to toggle data using the android apn toggle.
The instructions are:
____
Just put the Widgetsoid apk on /system/app folder
Work only with ADB connected to the phone (doesn't work if you use root explorer or other apps like this) :
* Remount /system as read/write
* adb push Widgetsoid.apk /system/app/Widgetsoid.apk
* Remount /system as read-only
_____
Can someone tell me what I can type in terminal emulator window to achieve this. I can't use adb as it won't recognise my u8150 (It worked fine with my i9000)
Thanks

PS: Apologies if the wrong forum, but there were only 4 specific android forums, so i thought the general forum would be the best to post this type of question in.

Thanks
I had tried
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# CHMOD 777 /SYSTEM
the above works but if i try to push i get
# push
push: not found
I also tried the above then switched over to es-file explorer and was able to copy + pasted the widgetsoid.apk file from my sdcard into the /system/app directory. It correctly pasted the file, but when I clicked on widgetsoid.apk to install the apk i got an error.
"Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package."

I wouldn't chmod /system ... just leave the permissions the same.
cp /sdcard/downloads/widgetsoid.apk /system/app/
Chmod 644 /system/app/widgetsoid.apk
No need to click install or anything like that... just reboot after copying it to /system/app.

push is an adb command. You'll want to put the apk on the sdcard then use:
cp /sdcard/Widgetsoid.apk /system/app/
That will copy it to the directory.
Nevermind, do what jeffv2 said.

THANKS! it's working now.
I had placed it in /system/app and did a reboot and it still hadn't installed
then i renamed the file from Widgetsoid2.x.apk to Widgetsoid.apk and also did chmod 644, after a reboot it has successfully installed.
I think it was the chmod 644 to the apk file that allowed it to be installed
Many thanks!

i want to make a theme for my stock 2.3.6 DDKT3 thru UOT kitchen

you will have to manually replace the apks in the output zip file you get from uot kitchen

go to recovery connect your phone to computer mount /system and with adb push command, push previous framework-res.apk in /system/framwork/ and using adb shell set permissions to 0644

yep adb best way

as you don't have CWM i think it's the only way! so here is step by step instruction:
1- copy your old (And healthy) framework-res.apk and adb files(two files that i attached to this post extract zip file ) in root of your C drive.
2- open command prompt program on your windows.
3- power on your phone and connect it to PC(make sure you already installed Gfit Drivers)
4- in command prompt type this commands:
Code:
cd c:
cd /
adb shell
wait to see # in command Prompt and type this:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system
exit
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb shell
chmod 0644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
reboot
if you have disabled USB Debuging all of this things are useless

by old framework-res.apk do u mean the modified one?
if no where shall i keep the modified one?
and do u know any similar method to enable crt off animation?
thnx a lot man

i mean stock framework of your rom.
if you want modified framework you can try this:
1- copy adb files(two files that i attached to this post extract zip file ) in root of your C drive.
2- open command prompt program on your windows.
3- power on your phone and connect it to PC(make sure you already installed Gfit Drivers)
4- in command prompt type this commands:
Code:
cd c:
cd /
adb shell
wait to see # in command Prompt and type this:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system
chmod 0644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
reboot
see if it works or not.

i didnt get u
where shall i place the modified framework?
and can i use rajrocks' ics theme on my stock DDKT3 rom?

i don't know about rajrocks' ics theme .
but if you allready installed your modified framework just do what i said in second post. and if you don't know you have installed it or not , place modified framework on root of C: Hard drive in your PC and do what i said in my first post

and what about the systemUI.apk?

When i try opening adb through cmd i get an error saying AdbWinApi.dll is missing

oh sorry i foget about that
i attached that file to this post.
about systemUI.apk just replace it like framework... just change adresses...
and always keep orginal file just in case! maybe you did something wrong and end in bootloop

yeah thnx
and u have any idea of how to enable crt off animation?
thnx man

[MOD] Enable Stock Hotspot on Verizon

I have gotten the built-in wireless tether to work. I know there's been some discussion about getting Wireless tether without FoxFi and similar.
Since we cannot use the recovery method directly, you can still use the tools and everything from it.
So to begin:
Obviously, you must have root for this to work.
1) Download the patch.zip from the original thread. [here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2768837 ]
2) extract the zip to somewhere on sdcard. I extracted mine to the Download folder. You may need to edit the script below to reflect your locations.
3) okay, this part gets a little weird, but bear with me...
Save this code as run.sh in Download folder or wherever you extracted. You can over-write the old run.sh if you save it in toggle folder where original was located-- BE SURE TO EDIT AS REQUIRED
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
cp /mnt/sdcard/Download/toggle/sqlite3 /data/local/tmp/sqlite3
chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/sqlite3
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 /system
cp /system/framework/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk.bak
cp /mnt/sdcard/Download/system/framework/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
/data/local/tmp/sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db < /mnt/sdcard/Download/toggle/toggles.sql
4) now open up adb on pc (preferred!!! So you can still see progress and if necesary you can undo/alter/fix things) or terminal emulator (untested but should work, may be weird since you have to reboot phone while it's interface is locked up)
Run:
adb shell
su
sh /mnt/sdcard/Download/toggle/run.sh [or where ever you saved it]
5) Your phone will probably lock up now because you've just replaced the framework-res.apk while the system was running.
adb reboot or reboot by other methods.
6) Profit ;]
I DO NOT WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE THIS METHOD. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

I believe the sqlite edits serve the purpose of showing the icon in the quick settings pull down. Otherwise, just replacing the framework-res.apk with the correct changes is enough: See this thread for the changes needed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759119
Incidentally, I was attempting to make the changes on my own and recompile the framework-res.apk, and I must've done something not quite right because the phone hung at the verizon logo. Thankfully adb was up so I was able to remount system as rw to replace the edited framework-res.apk from the original thread OP linked. Interestingly enough, as soon as I finished copying the edited file, the phone continued booting just fine, and I'm posting from the native tethered connection now.
Edit: I was able to do the changes on the framework-res.apk extracted/decompiled from my phone after all. I'm guessing that the phone didn't like deflate method as opposed to store method (no compression) on the resources.arsc file in the apk file. Had to use the 7zip command line tool to save the modified resources.arsc file without compression to the original apk:
7z u -mx0 framework-res.apk.zip resources.arsc
where -mx0 means no compression (copy)

Got it enabled by just replacing the framework-res.apk, and noticed speeds were really slow. I get 1.88mbps on LTE at home (so-so coverage), but only .15mbps on my iPad connected to my phone via Wi-Fi.

It's a manner of preference. In terms of overhead, this native method should technically be quicker to enable, as it does not have to wait for the exposed module to intercept the call and return an empty array of apps to execute for the provision check. That being said, we're probably talking miliseconds at most. While I use xposed for other modules sometimes, others might prefer not to, and this native method does not require it.

I'm not sure how easier it can get than installing xposed framework + X Tether mod and rebooting, or replacing the framework-res.apk file on your phone with the one listed in the OP... either will work. This of course assumes you have the Verizon model. Replacing the premade framework-res.apk on any other S5 model would probably cause issues and wouldn't solve anything .
I just made it 'harder' on myself by deciding to copy the original framework-res.apk from my phone, and using the latest apktool and aapt to extract the apk, make the modifications, rebuild it, and replace it on my phone (after renaming the original to .bak). I mostly did this to refresh my memory on how to do it as I had done the process with another phone a while back to do the same mod. As I mentioned earlier, the sqlite stuff is only necessary if you want a toggle in the quick settings bar... otherwise you can just go into settings menu and enable it that way.

It's linked to in step (1). It's inside the zip file that's meant to be flashed in a recovery... however, because our bootloader is still locked, we cannot flash a recovery, so the way to do it is by replacing the framework-res.apk file as the filesystem is live, which as the OP mentions, will trigger a soft reboot as this file is used extensively by Android apps.

Seems at least like 2 errors... the mount command can't find the input or output directories, thus you attempt to copy the files and get read-only file system, and it looks like sqlite3 needs to be changed to executable... chmod +x sqlite3
Also make sure you're running as root, obviously.

I saw a similar post int the android development subforum, and they seem to believe you will bootloop if you try to overwrite your framework-res. I chickened out and just did the xposed and x tether mod.

The original script should work assuming the files are in the right path... when I mentioned make sure you are running as root meant, make sure you run the 'su' command and get the # prompt before you run the script, otherwise the script won't run with root permissions and will fail.
For the third line, you (and the OP) can replace the mount command with:
Code:
mount -o,remount rw /system
----
As an aside, the chmod 0777 part in the original script already does mark the file as executable... chmod works with generic +rwx (read,write,execute) distinctions or the regular numbering permissions (777 means rwx for everyone)
Edit: the last line of the script should start with: /data/local/tmp/sqlite3
because that's the one that you set the permissions to rwx, not the one in your sdcard

Yes, we have tried it and it works. The quick settings button, as I have mentioned earlier in this thread, is what the sqlite3 executable and the file commands it takes in (just a simple text file of DB commands) take care of. You could also just get sqlite editor ($3 from the play store, IIRC) and do them manually if you don't like command line tools. it's basically adding "WiFiHotspot" to system -> notification_panel_active_app_list_for_reset and notification_panel_default_active_app_list in the settings.db file in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
Or you could just do it the free with the command line sqlite3 using the tools already at your disposal
