you shouldnt install it.
Just copy it with the terminal or adb

Ah ok, and whats the command for it? Sorry, for all these questions but tbh I was never deep in the software scene or else.

Do you still have root? You can just use root explorer to copy it over to system/app/blabla.apk
But for adb you have to mount the system, then push the files. This is enough info for google keywords
However, from my experience the x10 doesn't like reinstalling system apps. Best chance is to back up everything with titanium backup and reflash.
Sorry I didn't give you exact commands but this was

Ok, at least I already copied them back to the right folder but nothing changes. So I have to reflash, ok. Thank you for you help.

Reflashing is not necessary... Do you have windows or mac? I'll make you a script so that it will load it on it's own.

Hi webstar1,
thank you for the hack! Unofrtunately it doesnt work on my megajump. I use Motorola Defy with Motoblur and have a different folder for the GSGPrefs.xml. It is in /data/data/com.getsetgames.megajump/shared_prefs/GSGPrefs.xml.
I killed the app and changed the mp value but when I start the game it gets back to the original value in the file and in the store. Has this been fixed?
Edit: OK I got it! You hava to delete the .bak file, which is created when you edit the original one

Oh, one more thing. How did you edit the line?
I had to move the GSGPrefs.xml file to my SDcard, install another app called "SilverEdit" which could edit XML files, edited it, moved it back with Root Explorer and only then it worked.
I got ADB but I have no idea how to use it XD
If you could tell me how you edited it, i would be greatly apreciative!

I know this is a bit late now, but I can't find the backup file. So every time I open up Mega Jump, the MP goes back to what it was.

Try again later, or contact the server administrator.

What are you trying to accomplish? just a root?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

When it has .part on the end of the file name it means it did not finish downloading. Have you gone to shortfuse's website for a direct download link?

yes i want to root my phone here are the specs
firmware is 2.3.6
phone samsung galaxy s 4g (t mobile)
kernel 2.6.35.7 kj6
build number Gingerbread kj6
all of this is came on the phone when i bought it from tmobile.
i went to shortfuse to get the direct download took me to deposit files and download box appeared and i got this message

I am using firefox idk if that has anything to do with it.
im new to this whole thing and want to root the phone so i can start doing things with it.

I will post a link for you.
Here you go - http://db.tt/bNYoJw6T
Also review the guides in the first and second link of my signature for more helpful information.

ok thanks.

Oops... I uploaded the older version. It will still work but I will go ahead and upload 2.3.3 for you.

Same Error Message.

Then restart your computer. If that doesn't work. Try Internet Explorer or Chrome. Something is wrong on your end. That is my personal dropbox folder. I know it works.

Just a quick suggestion. Try disabling the virus scan on downloads in Firefox then try downloading it. I seem to recall having a similar problem a while ago with something I was downloading.
Don't forget to re-enable it after though lol

thanks for the suggestions guys but i guess its not ment for me to root nothing has worked.
* couldn't download to the pc so i went on the web on my phone and downloaded the file then transfered it to my pc. back in business*

Or... You can flash a custom ROM/kernel, that would get you root

Google Now for ICS with VOICE working

Edited 8/20/2012: Please go to THIS THREAD for further updates as continued development is taking place here and newer info is now available.
I made a flashable zip for Google Now based on This Thread
Theres a lot of different methods and files out there but some of the other methods dont seem to work for everyone. This one has worked for me and some others on ViperS rom specifically, and made it flashable for a very easy installation. Should work on all ics roms.
Note: Sorry for any issues earlier, hope all is fixed now.
1. MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE ANYTHING JUST TO BE SAFE.
2. Flash Away.

I merely used different resources to make this as easy as possible so I give credit and thanks to all involved, especially Mikeyxda as I edited his updater script to fix my flash file and Lenny_kano for his work on this.
Enjoy :good:

I thought I fixed this. I updated the mirrors so you may have the original corrupted file. The new file should be labeled SIGNED at the end. Make sure to delete google quicksearchbox from your system also beforehand. I reverted to a backup, and followed the above steps without issues.
Hope it works now!
Let me know

Worked for me.

Thanks for posting this. I got GNow working on my Sensation (Running ARHD) yesterday by following the instructions found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856
I downloaded "mikeyxda APK version 2" Offline/online. It's easier to get working and doesn't require any deleting. Just a simple flash via recovery, confirmation of settings through a file manager and you're good to go.
Hope this helps anyone else. Screenshot attached for good measure.

Simple method to install .APK that PlayStore Won't Let you install.

To install an app the PlayStore wont let you install do the following (You will need at least one device compaible with the phone)
Install ESFile explorer on the Device with the working App.
Tap On App Manager then Select and HOLD the Application you want.
From the List Select Back-Up
Then Back out back to the first page, and find the Backup folder, and go into it, then into the Apps folder.
Your see the APK backed up.
Then Press and HOLD, and select SHARE.
Share the file to your DropBox
You can then grab the file on your PC and install anyway you see fit.
If you have Unknown sources ticked, you can also then open Dropbox on the Nexus 7, navigate to the folder you shared it to, and install it from there. (Simples)
You could also share the file Via Bluetooth, I have not tested to see if it will let you install the file, but I cant see why not) (Thanks for the idea Gogeta)
I installed and am now using BT Smart talk this way.
Hope this helped someone.
If you find a simpler way please post it.
If I managed to help, please say Thanks.

As Per Title, This is for files that PlayStore WON'T let you install. So no way to install it. The .APK may not be available elsewhere, like BT Smart Talk.

If you go to /system/data/apps all installed apps go in there, as far as i know. Is this what your trying to get? That way you can skip the backup and save any space that it takes up.

Or, you could use Quixer to send it straight over to the other device, no matter the distance. I like the Bluetooth idea as well though, that would be the easiest for single, close range sharing.

Download and install "Root Explorer" from the market. It defaults to the root directory. Just open up the app, find /data in the root directory, click on it, and then click /app. All your user downloaded and installed apps are there.
