Just grab a root explorer such as solid explorer and copy the apk into /system/app. Then change its permissions to 644 (rw-r-r) and reboot

Thanks, now need to learn how to do that, 1. Command line? 2. Easier way?

Native Camera Apk

Anyone has the native camera apk? I deleted mine being a idiot, and I know I can just use the update service and repair but truthfully that's a lot work because of restoring data, root etc when I can just install one app :-\
(I have this thread in general but I'm making it in here too because I'm not sure if general was the right place to post it and its important so I didn't want to wait for it to be moved if it ever will)

thank you but it won't install. Sigh I'll just have to do it the hard way =/
You might need to push them both to /system/app/ (in root directory before sdcard) n then try instal using root explorer or similar?

I tried all of that but it didn't work
hi maybe you must give the apk and odex permissions
put the two files apk and odex on your sdcard
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
dd if=/sdcard/SemcCameraApplication.apk of=/system/app/SemcCameraApplication.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/SemcCameraApplication.apk
dd if=/sdcard/SemcCameraApplication.odex of=/system/app/SemcCameraApplication.odex
chmod 644 /system/app/SemcCameraApplication.odex
reboot
or copy the two files with rootexplorer (mount r/w) into sytem/app and give them with a long press on apk and odex the permissions and check
User- read and write
Group- read
Others- read
then reboot
i hope it works for you
try it with ADB on your pc and flash a new theme with a camera.apk...
that is the method of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742821
i hope you understand what i mean...
and i hope that it should work for you
Could you pls post theapk directly i have problems accessing the link
Pls post the apk
here you go.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5lc3Ryb25ncy5hbmRyb2lkLnBvcCJd
this is a market link to the es file explorer app. download it press menu button- go to settings- go down to root- select it and grant permission and then mount system as writable with it right below it. then copy the camera.apk to the system/app folder and your done.(to get there press favorites then choose the second icon then go down to system)
download any rom and open it with winrar find there semccamera or something and enjoy :laugh: i did this several times when deleted something important, besids you have done root... :highfive:

Here is from the leaked Vibrants 2.2 build never tested it.
Edit:
Doesn't work at least not on my end most likely needs a lot of modding to get it working.

Doesn't look promising since searching on the forums here comes up empty handed on any other phones getting a port of it. Closest music player I've found to it is power amp.

[Q] Mount-o: permission denied

I just unlocked and rooted my nexus s. Now im trying to stop the phone from reinstalling the custom recovery image and all im getting is problems.
I put in the command
mount-o rw,remount/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
And every single time i get
mount-o : permission denied
Anyone have any ideas? im worried about rebooting my phone now cause i don't want to go through the whole process again. After reading around on XDA it doesn't seem like you are required to do this. Does anyone know if it will reinstall the custom recovery image if i don't do this step? I have searched everywhere to figure out the problem. But stilll im coming up with nothing. I have found people with other devices that have this problem. But nothing about fixing it.
If anyone has any ideas i really need help ASAP
try and grant yourself superuser & then try.
"su"
"mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"
You need a space after mount. -o specifies the mount options. The command is mount
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
aye, didn't notice that, couple of needed spaces. I've modified my original post.
Thanks i tried it but now it says mount-o not found.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
If it says mount-o not found there's not a space between mount and -o.
mount -o remount,rw .........
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Sorry I read the post about the space after I posted it. But of course I'm having more problems sorry for being such an idiot.
After putting su the command works. But then I try
Mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery-no.sh
It says no such file found. Sorry if I sound like an idiot. It's just rooting my Nexus S is much harder than it was to root my old mt3g.

No Android expert but I have experience with the CL. Pretty sure you're going to need to cd into the dir or write the full path to the file.
BTW what are the cool kids using for command line these days? Any of them have tab type features? ex: cd /syst<TAB>/me<TAB> for cd /system/media/

I just used root explorer to rename the install-recovery.sh to install-recovery-no.sh. It disabled it from flashing over the clockwork mod recovery on reboot. After disabling it I flashed clockwork recovery again permanently.
Edit: The file is in the etc folder.

Thanks i tried to just rename it with Root Explorer but it says it's a read only file. I can't figure out how to change it so it's not read only.

you have to include the path
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /etc/install-recovery.sh /etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
or
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /etc
mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery.sh.bak
It's really just a lot easier with Root Explorer. If you use root explorer app, you have to push the little button at the top that says "mount r/w" or something like that. I usually do that rather than run the mount command, because I always forget the syntax for that one.
Yeah just hit the "mount R/W" button on top when u open Root Explorer. It changes to "Mount R/O" and u can rename it after that.

[GUIDE] Set /System to rw

hey guys!
i didn't know where to post this, mods please move it to the appropriate forum.
NOW FOR THE GOOD PART,
GUIDE: HOW TO SET /SYSTEM TO RW
this question has been asked a lot, and i felt a need to post a guide: the easiest method is to use root explorer and on the top right corner is a button saying either ro, or rw. ro means read-only, and rw means read-write.
now some of you may be asking: so what's the point of this thread? i can already set /system to rw in root explorer. and yes, that is true (and much easier than this way), but what if for some reason root explorer refuses to set the /system to rw when you really need to edit that one file? or what if you're in adb, and can't access root explorer? that has happened to me before, and maybe some of you. so instead of panicking and freaking out, try this method:
1) download terminal emulator from market (anyone will work)
2) open and type "su" (NO QUOTES) to make sure you have root access. (if you don't know what root is, then don't read this, it's a waste of time)
3) to remount /system to rw, type EXACTLY: mount -o remount rw /system (enter)
so it should look like this:
Code:
su
mount -o remount rw /system
this method does work on every android phone, and works in terminal emulator as well as in adb
in adb just do:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount rw /system
as always, i am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
also, you can download the following apps (example) that show you to set r/w access to system for the typing challenged...
Root explorer - not free
Es file explorer - free
I use es, haven't had a problem since.

There are a few ways to do this. I personally encourage people to learn the ADB end of things. Sometime a nice pretty GUI will not get you out of a pickle.

Good for you. I have confronted this problem before, and just wanted to share my findings. This could be useful in the future.

It's always good to know another way to do things, but I also have never had a problem with ES File Explorer.

Init.d on embryo 7

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this init script?
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /
chmod 772 /storage
ln -s /storage/extSdCard /storage/sdcard1
chmod 550 /storage
busybox mount -o r,remount /
This works perfectly when executed from a terminal but when I put it in init.d, the sym link is not created.
I am just pasting this code in one of mohans init.d scripts and then turning it on from ROM customizer, so I know the permissions are right.

Assuming your write permissions are set does your destination spelled or typed out right? Does it exist? I know it sounds pretty simple but checking won't hurt
