[Q] A question about "libxt_native.so" permissions

Hello
I was going through the system folder (stock deodexed UCLF6) in root explorer and came across this file :
/system/lib/libxt_native.so
What caught my attention is that ALL the permissions for other files in this directory are set to "rw-r--r--" exept this one ... which has the full permissions rwrrwwrww "or such"
Can somebody check the permissions for this file in their ROM ?
Is it normal for this lib file to have all pemissions ?
Thanks

Install Asus Keyboard on CM10

Hi guys, I wanted to ask you if someone can help me installing the Asus Keyboard app on my TF300T with CM10. I have the Keyboard.apk , but it gives an error when installing... Any help?

Did you have the odex files too? And you need to manual place into /system/app. Normall install will not work.

You will find the Asus Keyboard apk and odex file in the zip file
Just push it on /system/app

Ok, I'll try it later. Thanks!

It didn't work... Any ideas? :s

Describe? It didn't work.
After placing each file in /system/apps ( I always set permissions as well 644). Reboot. you went to settings/Language & Input, placed a check beside it/Clicked Default and selected it.
If you pushed it with adb permissions may be correct already.

It's the native keyboard from Asus with Odex file.
You have 2 solutions for push these files on your system, but you need root rights:
- 1st: by ADB
adb push XXX YYY : copy the file XXXX from your PC on to your system/app YYY of your phone
- 2nd: by an APK as Root explorer, Es File Explorer etc (with root rights)
just copy and paste thes 2 files to your SDcard and copy and paste again to the system/app folder.
After don't forget to reboot your device.
And finally you went to settings/Language and Input, placed a check beside it/Clicked Default and selected it.

I did the 2nd method right from the beginning - I even set permissions for the files. The problem is that the settings thing stops responding when I try to open it with the files inside system/apps ...

Just reboot when your copy/paste is done

No good... I did everything, copied the files to system/app with root explorer, rebooted, and the keyboard isn't even listed on the settings page...

OK I'll try to duplicate your issue and report back. Which cm10 rom are you using?
I chose cm10 nightlies and I can't get a proper install either, I'm looking into why.

I'm using the 09-11 nightly.

Thanks I am working on it.
I deodexed and that failed to show installed.
Made a flash zip and that failed to show installed.
Now I'm really curious.
I need to flash stock rom and play a little then come back to cm10.
I'll report when I have more info.
I can't make it work no matter what I try, I'm sorry. If I think of anything else I'll reply here.

Maybe they are some missing librares they are in /system/lib/ ? Check the logcat, it should what is missing.

Thanks I'm looking into that now. I'll reflash stock and try to get a better idea what might be missing. I see where it fails and why but haven't been able to relate that to a lib or config yet.
Thanks for the help!
When I do something like this I don't always get it fixed but I certainly learn new things as I go.
I'm not making any progress on this problem, sorry but I'm finished unless something else turns up soon.
Maybe someone else can lend a hand.

I will flash CM next days, as I already unlocked bootloader. Myabe I can find out what is missing, but try to add all the apks from this screen, it from stock.

[Q]

accidentally deleted system UI. on rooted tranformer tf700 4.2.1 I'm missing the status bars and home key etc... I assume I need to re-install the apk. Can someone post or send it to me... I would greatly appreciate it. I have a keyboard so I have limited functions... probably enough to get it installed.
thx!

OK in the attached zip you need to extract it to your sd and then copy the 2 files SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex into the /system/app folder and then set the permissions as 644 or rw-r--r--
Good luck!

You need to make sure you give esfile explorer root permissions. First turn on root explorer in tools on the left and then hit the word root explorer and set everything to RW - it'll work then.

I was able to get the files moved with ROM toolbox and get the permissions set but it will still not install? Any ideas?

You will need t reboot if you haven't already....
Other option is download the full rom from the ASUS website, unzip to the root of your internal sd and let that flash from stock recovery. You'll lose everything but it will get you back up.

How to install the stock Samsung browser on Verizon S6

I noticed some people were interested in installing the Stock Samsung browser on the Verizon S6 variant so I figured I'd make a little tutorial on how to do just that.
Steps:
1.) You'll need to download the stock Samsung browser files. This can be done here.
2.) Install Root Browser from the play store. (Obviously make sure you grant it root permissions)
3.) Find the Samsung browser folder you just downloaded from Mega and unzip it. The end result will be a folder named "SBrowser_3.0.38".
4.) Copy this unzipped to your /System/app folder.
--Now we need to change the permissions so that the android system can recognize these newly placed files--
5.) Set the permissions as follows: (To set the permissions, you need to press and hold on the name of the folder or file you wish to edit, then click "Permissions") See screenshots
SBrowser_3.0.38 - rwxr-xr-x
lib (folder) - rwxr-xr-x
SBrowser_3.0.38.apk - rw-r-r
arm (folder) - rwxr-xr-x
libsbrowser.so - rw-r-r
libsecv8.so - rw-r-r
libUCProxySDK.so - rw-r-r
libUCProxyWTF.so - rw-r-r
libwbs.so - rw-r-r
6.) Exit and reboot.
Once you've done this, android will boot up with the "Android is upgrading..." screen. The "Internet" apk should now be in your app drawer.
If this helped, please hit the "Thanks" button!
*Note - I have not figured out how to enable the fingerprint scan for password entry. Not sure this is possible for our variant at this time.
Troubleshooting
If the app appears in the app drawer but force closes itself when you try to open it, you are either missing some files, or you didn't set the permissions correctly. Look at my screenshots and make sure the file sizes and permissions are correct.
If no app appears in the app drawer when you reboot, you probably didn't unzip the file before you pasted it in the /system/app directory. Remember to extract it before you copy over the files! You should have copied the "SBrowser_3.0.38" folder, not the "SBrowser_S6_alemtro" zip.

Any direction on the smart manager app? I'm following the directions in the s4 thread, but no go.

Quite honestly, I was told that the smart manager is a bit of a battery hog and that an app like "Clean Master" does essentially the same thing so I never went about getting that app myself. But from looking at the directions I would just say to make sure you are putting it in the "/system/priv-app" folder instead of the "/system/app" folder and just make sure the permissions match those of other files and folders in that directory. I have heard some people have had success with it so it can be done.

Thanks for the tutorial, I didnt have a problem with setting permissions. But good to see I did it right. Any idea how to install smart manager? Put it in app/priv folder. Set permissions but not working.

Works great! +1

I've managed to get the FingerPrint working for autocompleting on the Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge, and posted it over on the app thread there. If you'd like me to get it working for the regular S6 send me the SecSettings2 folder within system/priv-app.

Make sure the permissions are exactly like it is for the browser. As for Viper, I haven't installed it yet. Haven't had time. Did you try rebooting after you made the changes? It should say updating apps.

I'm convinced that smart manager just will not work on some versions. Dunno why, but it won't. I have tried everything I can think of..no go

[Q] How do I Reinstall\Flash the ContactsStorage app?

I have a OnePlus One CM11 rooted.
I read a post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064859&highlight=deleted
And therefore I "played" a little bit with my phone with those things:
1) \System\priv-app\ContactsProvider.apk
2)ContactsStorage from Setting ->Apps->All->ContactsStorage
Somehow I ended up with the situation that:
1)ContacsStorage does not appear at the apps list.
2)The directory \data\data\com.android.provider.contacts have disappeared.
I want to reinstall\flash the ContactsStorage app.
I know that reinstalling the rom will fix it, but I'm trying to avoid it.
Do you know of any other way I can do it?

Extract it from your ROM zip. Copy back to it's original location with a file manager (Root Explorer), set permissions and reboot.

The problem that the apk is vanishing after reboot is not a permission issue. Try a better file manager (in my case Root Explorer never fails). Mount system as R/W and do the rest.

The apk is NOT vanishing, it stays there.
The app of ContactsStorage is vanished from the apps list permanently.
As well as the folder in \data\data of com.android.providers.Contacts.
The option to sync google contacts is gone as well.
