first delete market..
and copy paste playstore apk in system/app
long press on playstore and set permissons to rw-r--r-- and then reboot.

it is very easy to replace the apps.. first u make sure that which app u want to remove.. and copy the the app u want in sd somewhere u like
install a root explorer.. navigate to
system/apps via root explorer
delete the app u want to remove.. then navigate to the app u want i.e which u have pasted in the sd earlier then copy it.. then go to system/apps and paste it there.. long press on the app u have pasted then a window will appear.. then press permission in the window.. give permission as

Deleted stock task manager

Hello everyone,
I am new to all hacking and modding so please forgive me if I do something wrong.I was uninstalling applications from my rooted atrix 2 2.3.6 stock when I deleted the task manager can you give me the apk or the file and tell me how to use it.I have the 55.28.37 Asia retail please help me.

A word of advice: NEVER delete system applications, instead just freeze them. You never know when you may need them or want them back, and if you delete something (case in point here) that you want back, then you're asking for possible unwanted issues...

Try doing "adb install com.motorola.PerformanceManager.apk" or copy it to SD card and then use some file manager.

He should have no problem downloading the file and placing on root of the /sdcard and install like any other .apk (unless he's deleted his file manager also!).

Set the right permissions otherwise even after placing app into system it will not work.
Sent from my MB865

For reference, my Performance Manager's location is /system/app/PerformanceManager.apk and the permissions are rw-r--r-- which is chmod 644

Thanks every one for your replies you people are really helpful

Easiest way is to download the file to your computer, then connect your phone in usb mass storage mode to your computer, copy the .apk file you downloaded to your sdcard (which might show up as D: or E: in your PC), disconnect phone from computer, on phone use the "Files" file manager, go to "sd card", locate the .apk and tap on it to install. (Unknown sources should be ticked in your Settings > Applications)

Delete previous performance Manager that you have copied to system/app folder
Extract the attachment then copy both files to system/app without renaming or modifying them
Now to set the permission press and hold both files one after other for 3 seconds a window will appear in that select permission .
Now set permission as I have attached a Image.

People please help me I copied the apk and odex file and I have set the permissions but its not helping

For future reference just copying files to system/app never works. You ALWAYS have to push them with adb. Do you have adb set up on your computer?

If you must use root explorer, you need to copy the files first to the /system folder, and change the permissions to rw-r--r--.. Then "multi-select" both files and "MOVE" (do not copy) them to the /system/app folder, then reboot immediately. If you can go into recovery mode (with bootstrap or cwm on boot feature), then wipe dalvik and cache partition - if not, it may act up.. and it may not.. I have done this countless times with no issues (unless I was sloppy and forgot to rename or change permissions).
It's not the best method - farshad525hou is right, adb is cleaner.. but it can/does work

Yea, I know some folks are opposed to it and/or can't get it to work properly, but I've doing it for quite some time and never ran into a problem - unless I don't do something right. But, come to think of it, I am usually overwriting old files when pushing with root explorer, not placing new ones - I wonder if that may have something to do with it..?
But, I am all for adb - it's an excellent tool that everyone who wants to mod needs to get familiar with.
I suppose we are getting off topic, but this would make a good discussion thread somewhere...
EDIT: just checked, I guess I'm not alone after all!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412729 - the key steps are to set permissions (which can't be done on the sdcard) and MOVE to /system/app (or where ever)

Where can i get abd?

Just do adb install xx.xx.xx.apk there is no need to remount (or odex file). What is the error message do you get when you tried adb install? If it says already installed, then go to settings -> applications -> all and uninstall the same, and try adb install again.

How to Flash zipped file without custom recovery?

Hi there!
I have U30GT tablet which unfortunely till now didn't have any custom recovery. Some time I want to flash files to the ROM but due to this limitation I need to copy the files manually (easy job) and set the permission (hard job when there's a lot of files).
So is there any other ways that I can automated the task of copying the files and setting the correct permission without using custom recovery?
Many thanks!

Have you tried using a script or bat file to copy and set permissions through adb from your desktop?

Thanks. But I don't know how to do a script or bat file to be used with adb. Can you write up some guide for it?

I'll see what I can do. No garruntees. But another option is to push the files through adb then use v6 supercharger to fix emissions. Idk. Let me see if I can Whip something up for you.

Thanks but I wanna copy files for some tweaks only.
Well I found 1 solution, that is to manually copy the files than use ROM Manager app to fix permission. Also found thread here in XDA about using .bat file to automated the push and set permission but as I very lacking in knowledge in using command, I'll stick to Root Explorer + ROM Manager combo.

you can root device,cat stock recovery.img,and then compile cwm recovery.

Check this website someone is working on getting CLOCKWORK recovery on U30GT

[Q] Need tool to access phone using PC, cant access phone

I have accidentally installed a theme that is probably of higher resolution than my phone screen. Now in locked mode the unlocking option/pattern/graphics is not visible as it is 'spilling out of screen'.Only a part of large lockscreen wallpaper is occupying my entire screen. Android debugging is on in my device (thankfully). Please suggest me a tool/method using which i can control the phone using PC(or atleast unlock the phone). I (obviously) cannot install anything on my phone, i found some such apps that need installation on phone.
Last option is to flash my phone in recovery with a ROM, but i dont want to do that if other ways possible. my phone is on MIUI ROM developed on 26/9/12

You can wipe your /data in recovery if you don't mind
Or you can manually delete the theme using adb(the apk will be in /data/app).
PS: make a nandroid backup first in case anything goes wrong...
Edit: if you don't know the Apk name, navigate to /data/app and type find(Idk if it will work on windows, cause I tested it in android )

how to i enter in my phone's system dir using command line??
what commands to enter?
thankfully i am able to atleast see files and folders in my phone's system using http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/

Why would you enter in your system dir.
Btw now that you have access to your phone, download rootexplorer or es file explorer and you'll have access to /data, /system and more

FIRST YOU STOP SPAMMING EVERYWHERE
What is the problem when you can see all system files and folder. Go to data /app.. and delete it. Or if you have moved the theme apk to sdcard.. just browse your sdcard using an adapter and delete that appname.apk from ".android_secure" folder.
Use these (if you havent moved the app to sdcard)
adb shell
login as.. su
cd data/app
ls
rm appname.apk
reboot

problem solved
Sorry 'senior member' , i did not mean to spam but if u can understand my desperation. btw problem solved- a noobie like me suggested to call from a different phone and while on the call change the theme....
i myself tried a lot fiddling with command line but wasnt able to figure out.
Peace \/

Bootloader doubt..

While unlocking bootloader HTCdev site gave required resources "android-sdk" . is it required dat.. cz we need only
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
fastboot.exe
files in that.. so i got these three files in jaggy tutorial "A310E_Recovery.zip" . in that zip we have those three also.. so should we need android-sdk??

no you don't just get the filee

so we need to download adroid-sdk.. is it must..

I just said you don't need sdk get the required files alone but take care your files are genuine means working not corrupt if ya got them from a good place they will work nicely

so your saying if we have those three files.. we can unlock bootloadre.. eventhought we dont have SDK..?? it is not necessary to download that SDK..
i have small doubt like.. see HTCdev unlocking bootloader.. in step 5. they said create a folder in C-drive and put these three.. if i have these three can i skip to step 6.. witout seing "To find these files:"

Duh,ofc I did same way

i have small doubt like.. see HTCdev unlocking bootloader.. in step 5. they said create a folder in C-drive and put these three.. if i have these three can i skip to step 6.. witout seing "To find these files:"
and what they are saying in step 7 - "Navigate to where you unzipped the ZIP file and go to the folder you just created (For Example: If you created the folder in C:\Android, then you would type in Command Prompt: cd c:\Android)." we haven unziped any file no..

I had android sdk installed. And the 3 files were in the sdk installation directory. So, i created the C:/Android folder and put those files. And continued with the instructions. Hence, i didn't unzip any file.

i have downloaded sdk in "http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html" i got zipfile.. so i extracted so i got two folders and one setup file as
1.eclipse
2.sdk
3.SDKmanager.exe
should i need to install SDKmanager.. or can i get those three files in SDK folder... cz i saw those three files in sdk folder>platform tools.
P.S. i dint install sdk manager..

No problem. You navigate to the unzipped folder & continue. Alternatively, install the sdk. You may need it later.

what do you mean by later.. in the rooting process.. or some where else..
and do we need to download this and install "Java Runtime Environment: from http://java.com/en/

Yes, Java is important... for many purposes.
And, sdk will be required if you do some development.

thnq dude..
1. can u tell me what would be those steps..
2. if i do anything wrong while in unlocking bootloader.. is there any chance of bricking the fone..

It would be some command in command line. The steps are damn easy, nothing will go wrong here.
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using XDA Premium HD app

1. so there will no chance of bricking the fone if i went wrong while unloacking the bootloader..
2. to install sdk.. i jus need to run SDKmanager.exe.. am i right.. cz i clicked it but nothing happening..

Yes, it's all fine. Just properly follow the instructions.
See in the sdk folder, if you find some installer file. Or, check if it is already installed.
I downloaded an installer file from developer.android.com & simply installed it.

1.. there is a chance of bricking
2. i have downloaded file from " http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html " i got some zip file.. the i unziped that.. it about 550mb.. in that i have two folder namely "eclipse" "sdk" and SDKmanager.exe.
so i clicked on the SDKmanager.exe.. but it doing nothing.. jus popuping the window.. and closes automaticlly.. its happening in 2secs..

if i follow jaggy tutorial there will no wifi issues right.. everything works perfect right..
