[Q] Moving App to SD on MIUI SnapSeries LG P500 - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've installed MIUI Snap series on my LG P500. Everything's working fine except moving apps to SD card. I've read that replacing Settings.apk will do the trick. Here's the post to replace Settings.apk file:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32024427&postcount=446
But how I do it? Because I've tried it using Root Explorer and even by flashing Fix.zip as one member suggested but I get message "Application not installed".
And for zip flashing, I get file not found, Operation aborted in recovery.
I've moved it in system/app with editing the permissions but to no avail.
Kindly help.
Thanks.

ICS Keyboard download

I copied the zip file to sd card and used recovery to install it.
Does not work and would not allow me to change permission on sd card.
App is in system/app but cann't change permission, hence not working. ANy clear cut help will be greatly appreciated.

You need to select RW instead of RO if using root explorer.

It is RW and I can't change the permission using root explorer. However I managed to change the permission of zip file using windows 7 permission. I will try again. Thanks for your help.
Still not working

I am trying to make it work using htc sensation with ARHD XE ROM 3.6.7
Can anyone help me.
Where did you get the zip file? I am going to try install this version as the latest one in the HyperNoSense Rom keeps just dropping the keyboard VERY frustrating!
Replace it yourself then, it's not that hard.
the .so goes to
/system/libs
the apk goes to
/system/app
I don't know the permission for it and I don't pay attention to it. It just worked for me straight away

I have already tried this but no good. May be I should download file from different location and give it a try. Thanks for your help.
I got it working
I have managed to get it working by downloading the file from different place.
Copied the apk file to /system/app then changed permission and extracted .so file and copied to /system/lib, changed permission and restarted.
I would like to thank all of you who tried to help me. I love this community.

[Q] Permissions change was not successful (root explorer)

Hello Members
I'm kinda new to rooting, i just installed ics 4.0.4 rooted it and now im having problems changing permissions in root explorer. Im trying to install Talk_with_AV_no_wifi.zip. I'm following the instructions from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390818. But its not working for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
just a guess but mayybe becuase it is in the i-777 forum, it could have diff, libs or something. idk if im right or not.

If its a mod from a different phone it probably won't work. I am on my phone and can't look right now.

The mod isn't phone specific, it worked when i had gingerbread on the same phone.
Check Superuser SU for any errors. It may have denied permissions. If so, just click the button at the bottom to enable RootExplorer to make SU changes.
Please help me...!!!
when i m trying to chage the permission in root explorer its showing me...'Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems(e.g SD Card) do not allow permission changes.'
plz tell me how to solv it...I have LG P698 mobile phone...its hv android 2.3.4
I've got root, SuperSU, and it won't let me change the files at all. I can't rename the files. Just says, "HotspotProvision.akp cannot be renamed because the file system is read-only". I can't find a permissions option. Do I need the pay version of Root Explorer?
What am I missing here?
The filesystem needs mounted as read write

[Q] Problem in installing my custom rom made through android kitchen

I am getting and error when flashing my custom rom which i made through android kitchen. i am a beginner to this.
Error is like:
Error in update.zip
(status 0)
Installation aborted
Can anyone help me on this?
I'm not 100% sure, but I have a feeling that may be related to an incorrect update-binary in the ZIP. Try downloading another Explorer ROM and copying the update-binary from it into your ZIP, replacing the one that's there already. It's located like this within the ZIP: META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary
EDIT: You don't have to download a full ROM btw, any recovery flashable ZIP should do, e.g. one of the custom kernels such as Cranium (smaller download than a full ROM)
Thanks

Is there any other way to check the rom working or not without using it in my explorer, maybe using an emulator in windows 7? if there is an easy way then pls help me on this.
Let me explain you clearly what i am doing.

2. I placed it in original_update folder in android kitchen.
3. I set up a working folder from android kitchen menu and i got these files and folders in WORKING folder
boot.img
system
META-INF
4. I selected the option 99 in kitchen menu that is Building a ROM.
5. After successful completion i got a zip file in OUTPUT folder.
6.Then, i copied that update.zip file from OUTPUT folder to my sd card.
7. Now, i boot into recovery, and try to install zip from sd card but it shows an error like this
Error in sd-card/update.zip
(Status 0)
Installation Aborted.
Now i dont understand why it is giving me an error even i have not touched any file from the working folder.

I have no idea what you're doing wrong. But I don't think you have tried my suggestion from earlier in the thread.
Take the final update.zip file you have (the one you put on the SD card and try to install), and open it using an archive manager such as 7zip. Navigate into META-INF/com/google/android and delete the file "update-binary" that is located there. Then replace it with this one: http://d.pr/f/VHF1
Close 7zip, copy the ZIP to your SD card and try to install it in recovery.

Well, 7 > 0, therefore it's better
In all seriousness, I think this means it's probably getting further than before, but there's some other problem with the ROM. I don't know the various status error codes, I just recognized 0 as one I'd come across before. I'm afraid I can't be of any further assistance I don't think.
EDIT: From here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30415128#post30415128
Solution:- One or some of the prerequisite requirement for the needed upgrade is missing or corrupted . So you may need to identify and replace that requirement for the installation to continue. Most likely could be due to wrong bootloader, wrong CWM, Wrong IMEI, Wrong Radio etc

i did same steps but i recieved another error. After checking the cwm log i saw error 304 with text invalid file like zipminizip but i see in explorer the file is zip tipe, i dont know why my cwm see zipminizip filetype. If anyone know what to do please help. Maybe i should change my cwm but til now was no problem with my cwm. I have zte blade. Thx.ko
I think this is the error....
When you setup a working folder then change your updater-script to update script... ( search for the option to change it) if you want to make some changes in update-script Do so and then build your rom... the update-script will automatically be changed to updater-script .. now place the rom and flash.. If any problem feel free to ask :thumbup:

You have most probably messed the systemUI.apk which is located in /system/app or files associated with it. Did you remove any other apk's in which you weren't sure what it does?
In this case, Factory reset won't work because it just wipes user data and /system partition remains in tact. The nearest possible thing to do is to flash a stock ROM if exists or copy the deleted apk's borrowing from some one else's phone and place those apk's in /system/app partition setting the correct permission.
I remember exactly what I deleted. I I uninstalled Dhingana.com, Facebook and Rail yatra. I cannot start third party apps though I can install them. So I am not sure how to place the systemUI.apk in the directory /system/app. Can it be done through inbuilt file manager?

Nope, I guess not possible through default file manager. You have to use ES File Explorer File Manager or Root Explorer to place it in /system/app and change its permissions to rw-r-r.

I tried replacing systemUI.apk to \system\app folder using esexplorer but i got error. error: copy failed.
is there a possibility I can get hold of a stock rom and flash it using update from SD card. the default android update manager?

Make sure you've mounted the /system partition as R/W before attempting to Copy or setting permissions.

First this app will only work on a stock/stock base ROM. Second, you need a root file app, like root explorer or root browser. In root explorer you have to select to give r/w permission.
Go to the location of the app, long press it and select copy. Then navigate back to
/system/app and paste it. Then long press it again, select permissions and make it rw-r--r--. Then reboot
Hopefully this will install for you. If it doesn't than the apk itself would need to be modified.
One last thing, if you have another sec.player.apk in system/app, you might need to change it from .apk to .bak then reboot before you begin the other process. You can just rename it back to
.apk and make sure permissions are right then reboot to re-enable it.
