[Q] How could I get system app from firmware?

Is there any way for me to extract system apps from firmware, like file manager, and install it or use it as usual apk?

Try titanium back up. Back up your fw, install any desired system app on another compatible fw using restore...
Did it a couple of times for music app & calculator..

Just extract the ROM's tar file using 7-zip etc. then use MagicISO to extract the System.rfs file. You'll find all the system apps in app folder.

I tried that, but when I installing application on device I see: "App is not installed"

You'll have to make it a system app. Do it via Titanium Backup or using any File Explorer with root functionality (Set permission as rw-r--r--).

Set permissions and lib files may be necessary. Place lib files in /system/lib or something like that

Still can't see it...

Jelly Bean Boot animation & wallpapers..

For Boot animation copy sanim.zip with Root explorer place it in /system/media and give permisions as RW-R--R-- restart the mobile for the Boot animation :laugh:.
if you don't have Root explore then just copy cwm_boot.zip to SD card and flash it via CWM....
For wallpapers just extract and copy them to your phone....
This is only for Custom ROM's and will not work with Stock ROM's.

Thanks!

can you post some pics of the boot anim ???

It's quite boring actually.. It's like win7 but replace the windows logo with a glowing x..

Backup sanim.zip file in /system/media before flashing if you want to revert back just replace the new one with old one..

No you can not flash all, best way is to replace the file in the /system/media

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.

package can be flashed through stock recovery but they are needed to be signed properly with the manufacturer's key

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

6.0.1.0 CWM Recovery won't stick

I'm trying to flash this recovery, but it does not seem to stick.
I have CM9.1, and i have tried flashing the zip and manually flashing the .img.
Both times don't work.
Any ideas?

Check with a file manager with root rights that you don't have install-recovery.sh in the /etc/ folder at the root of your phone.
If yes, delete it.

You can get this working by flashing the recovery from rommanager. Worked for me.

rather than deleting I suggest a renaming of the file to <filename>.<ext>.bak , as if he wants to return to stock , though I doubt that will ever happen

[HELP]Need "services.odex" for SU760 ICS

Good day sirs...
I need help in bringing my phone back. I accidentally renamed the "services.odex" file into "services.odex.bak in an attempt to increase the character limit on the SMS. Can someone please post the said file so that I could paste it back into it's proper place --> /system/framework
I don't have a backup and I also don't have USB Debugging enabled for it.
The phone is an SU760 by the way, mentioning it again just in case you missed the title.

Put to your sdcard aroma file manager install it in your recovery (if it is cwm) and rename the said file back
If you have twrp than boot to recovery and in menu choose advanced --> file manager and do the same thing.
