[Q] Cant't find SystemUI.apk - General Questions and Answers

So I wanted to install APK-Multi Tool to my PC. But in order to set it up it is required to have a"framework-res.apk" and a "SystemUI.apk", am I right?(Ι am not sure if I forget anything) But where to find them? Do they mean that I have to use these that I got in my phone? OK lets say yes... I have found the framework-res.apk which is located in my system/framework. But I really dont know what is going on... I cant find the systemUI.apk in system/app !
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Anomaly.
Ive had some hidden apks too but i've always been able to back them up.
huh? confused4life.
All i can say is try this:
Code:
ls -l -R /system > /sdcard/syslist.txt
ls -l -R /data > /sdcard/datalist.txt
post the datalist.txt and syslist.txt files here as attachments.

You need to have a root shell first.
Try this in the terminal:
Code:
su
ls -l -R /system > /sdcard/syslist.txt
ls -l -R /data > /sdcard/datalist.txt

Oh... Where can I find one? For the above commands I used Terminal Emulator which has Superuser permissions.

You have type su then the console will go from $ to # meaning you have root perms.
In the picture you provided you definitely have a user shell as denoted by the $ prompt.
If you are unsure you can always type whoami and if that returns "uid 0" then you have root permissions on the current shell.
Just because the terminal emulator has the ability to become the superuser doesn't mean you are always the superuser when you run the app.
The app has to request su permissions so you have to use the su command.
I had updated the code I wanted you to type into the emulator that you were using.
Please use the new code:
Code:
su
ls -l -R /system > /sdcard/syslist.txt
ls -l -R /data > /sdcard/datalist.txt
Please run this code then upload the datalist.txt and syslist.txt files from the sdcard here as attachments.

Ohh yes you are right..I forgot it.I have so much time to use the terminal
Here you go :

how do you enter any symbols? like a * ? I tried and I get j* always
Ya I had that problem too but the best workaround I found was to use the 12# key to bring up all the numbers and symbols and I enter them that way

It's also by far the best SSH/telnet client for android.. it should be a great local terminal client as well
The help for soft keyboards should cover any questions on missing keys.

you gotta mount it read/write.
/system is read only
Still very new to this,
How Do I do that?
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app/
rm HtcLockScreen*
exit
I do not have adb installed and am doing it from my phone so I am guessing I need to just do

there ull have the list of all ur system apps just, rm appname.apk or .odex
I was hoping that would give me the Android 2.1 lock screen but it did not work..
Well it did get rid of the htc lock screen
It did not have a way to slide to unlock the screen.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660][TUTORIAL] A Complete lagfix for Gingerbread

Open Terminal Emulator on phone or adb shell from PC and type the following.
su
setprop dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode false
setprop dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags v=n,o=v
rm /data/dalvik-cache/*
rm /cache/dalvik-cache/*

Add these to the /data/local.prop or build.prop.
dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode = false
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=v=n,o=v
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(Copy local.prop or build.prop to SD and edit them. Copy back afterwards. If lines starting with dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode or dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags exist already, please modify them as above. Also type following in adb shell or terminal emulator.
rm /data/dalvik-cache/*
rm /cache/dalvik-cache/*
reboot

In the build.prop, change
dalvik.vm.heapsize=64m

to
dalvik.vm.heapsize=80m

This seems to be a complete lagfix. No wake-lag etc.
Tested on GT-S5660XXKQG
Donate if you like it!
I can't do this. In the first step, when I put the command
rm /cache/dalvik-cache/*
it says that the file doesn't exist.
And I don't know where are the files on the 2nd step. How can I find them? Do I need to use a specific app?

Same here... I have the GT-S5660M.
I am testing this on the /system/build.prop file to see if that works.
Well find where your dalvik-cache is stored.
It can be on /data or on /cache
Use a root explorer with superuser permissions to find out
Good examples are:
Advanced Tools
AntTek File Explorer

I use root explorer and the terminal. I'm a linux user and know how to search. I'm not sure if its a S5660M issue or not but I just don't have the same files and folders you note.
So far changes to the system/build.prop seem to work for me based on your above directions.
it doesn't fix the lagging of the gingerbread.it just fix only wake up lag but not UI.

Already have the phone, myself and there is no need to root the phone. It's already rooted and comes with 'su' installed.
As as said 'su' is there, but you should update 'su' to a newer version as Superuser.apk doesn't work well with the version included in the phone.
Go to androidsu.com/superuser (download latest su and Superuser.apk)
run:
# adb push su /sdcard/
# adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/
# adb shell
in the shell:
# su
# mount -o rw,remount /system
# cat /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
# chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
# cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
# logout
# adb reboot
As for the recovery mode, using Power Btn and Volume Down Btn, you can go into recovery mode, no need to re-flash recovery, but you can if you wanna

BTW, does anybody have problem with the GPS? I've tried Sygic and Google Maps and not getting any satellites, or at least no very fast.
I've tried the how-to for the GPS from htcmania.com, but doesn't really help. Also tried FasterGPS app and nothing.
Please let me know if you know a good fix.
Also, does anybody know how to unlock the bootloader? Recovery can't be re-written if the bootloader is not unlocked (or at least thats what I believe).

Would it be possible to dump the ROM from your phone and uploaded someplace? I'm thinking is the ROM, but don't have the original one.

Help on pushing files to device (ADB)

Hello guys, experiencing another problem now :silly:
Have search all around, couldn't find any valid answers so I decided to ask myself.
So I was just making a rom, which I have already installed. It's based on Cataclysm (personal use only - Till I ask for perm).
I have installed the rom, then I decided to theme some system files. And so I did. I theme the "Settings.apk" for now, and decided to push it to my device instead of installing the whole rom over again. Now mind you when I made roms and modified system apps, pushing these files to the device was straight forward. However on this Hammerhead, I've been running into some issues.
When pushing the file to my device like this
Code:
adb push Settings.apk system/priv-app
.
I get an error that says -
Code:
failed to copy "Settings.apk" to "system/priv-app/Settings.apk" : Read only file system.
So I then decided to try the following -
Code:
[x] adb root - Permission Denied
[x] adb remount - Permission Denied
So then I decided to use some shell commands to set the system as rw, I did the following.
Code:
[x] adb shell
[x] $ su - gave it permission
[x] $ mount -o rw,remount /system - It mounts it.
I then restarted cmd with root permission.
Code:
adb root"
- it restarted however, this time it stated.
Code:
Device not found.
I probably did the wrong thing above, so how exactly can I push files to /system?
SOLVED
Thanks to everyone that answered my question in detail.
The easiest way I know to push files to /system through adb is using a custom recovery . Try with it.
Why not use usb or AirDroid to transfer files?

Boot into recovery and connect the usb cable. Open a cmd prompt.
Code:
adb shell
mount /system
exit
adb push c:\users\krishneelg3\desktopmyfile /system/priv-app
You can also use the "mount system" option in recovery and skip the first 2 commands above.

Open recovery, mount system partition and connect it to pc and then normal procedure.
It will be running as adbd to no need to type adb root. Hope this helps

You can still do it through Android, but it's more difficult because adb root doesn't always work (requires kernel) and you have to mount r/w which is just a pain. I always adb push in recovery.
However, here is an example of a successful attempt to adb push on my nexus 5.
Code:

adbd is already running as root

"sdb ls /opt/share/settings/Alerts/stock_sound.ogg" should do a DIR of the file to be sure the file exists. You might have missed or added a capitalized letter. Unix/Linux are case sensitive.
"sdb ls /opt/share/settings/Alerts/" should give you a DIR of the whole directory so you can double check the spelling.
