[HOWTO] Manually Flash Koush's ClockworkMod Recovery (If You Are Already Rooted)

1. Find the recovery image you want and MAKE SURE IT IS FOR YOUR PHONE (should say in where you download it what phone it is for).
2. Write down the filename of the recovery image EXACTLY as it is written (i.e. recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-heroc.img).
3. Put the recovery image file on the SD card (not in any folders).
4. Download Terminal from the Market if you don't already have it and install it (there are a few different terminals in the Market some have an onscreen keyboard and some don't experiment till you get one, also hold down Menu in some of them to bring up the onscreen keyboard if you don't see it).
5. Open the Terminal program and type the following (with hitting enter at the end of each line).
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img
6. In the above text, replace name-of-recovery.img with the name of your recovery image (make sure the .img is on the end).
7. Phone should pause for a second and then show you a new blank line. Turn it off and back on by holding down Home and Power to ensure it flashed correctly. Done.

it's safe to remove the recovery image from your sdcard after you know it successfully flashed

Yup..thats what I'm trying now...hopefully it works.

Here's what you do:
Open up your shell/command prompt and cd to wherever ADB is.
Use these commands:
adb shell
su Select "Allow" if you get a Superuser pop-up on your phone
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system/app
rm YouTube.apk
cd /data/data
rm -rf com.google.android.youtube
pm uninstall com.google.android.youtube
exit
adb reboot

When your phone comes back on, just go into the Market and install YouTube.

Thanks that worked..I just used Root Explorer..removed the original Youtube apk, rebooted, and the new installed without a problem.
Thanks again.

Just tried that, but it didn't work. I couldn't delete the "YouTube.apk" file because it said that it was "read-only".

I assume you are rooted? You need ROOT COMMANDER to do that... set the ROOT to READ/WRITE and then you can erase the old app.
For me, I didnt have to do that, the new one installed over the old one. Im using SPRINT LOVERS ROM

Follow my instructions above, or in Root Explorer, click the little icon in the top-right that says "Mount R/W" when you go to /system/app

Thanks for your work.
When I run the .bat, there is an issue with the first command and I get the message:
remount failed: Operation not permitted
It then runs through the rest of the process, chucking up errors here and there and ultimately, after a reboot, seems to have had no effect.
Any ideas? I have USB debugging enabled, the correct drivers, etc.

Hi,
I don´t know anything about mac and adb/apktool. I think they exist, so first you may use them for SystemUI.apk & BlueSky.apk. Extract my zip and copy files from both Updatefolders in your proper decompiled folders. Recompile & sign, then push to phone.

yeah, s-off, root, but standard rom.
I have flashed a different battery indicator if that makes any difference?

Hmm, it seems there is an issue with how my phone is rooted.
adb root returns 'adbd cannot run as root in production builds' and abd shell gives '$', but then su permission denied?
Phone is rooted though with Superuser installed and working, and TB, so not sure what is going on.

rosie nav bar
Would it possible to do something like this for the rosie nav bar, to make it transparent or glass even?

Maybe a dumb question, but is your system mounted before you try to run the batch file? If you're not sure, try adb remount and run the batch file again.
I remember having some similar weirdness back before Revolutionary when I tried to run the Easy Fr3vo OC/UV batch file package, but I hadn't mounted the system before I ran it.

Hi,
I have a question :
to install need to connect phone (debug usb on) only chrage, right ?
and, maybe it works for EVO 3D gsm versione ?

Manually doing System UI Tuner Things

So LG prevents you from starting System UI tuner, because the activity is disabled. Even after enabling it and starting it, the UI is just blank. But I hate the little alarm icon in my status bar. So I found this page:
https://newcircle.com/s/post/1745/2015/07/10/tweaking-system-ui-tuner
I can confirm modifying the icon_blacklist works.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
adb shell su -c pm enable com.android.systemui/.tuner.TunerActivity
adb shell am start com.android.systemui/.tuner.TunerActivity

Question..
Can we enable the UI tuner using any command, so we can access it through the device like pixel devices, if yes how? And does that need rooting?
This question is related to few threads here about the peeking "heads up" notification that we can't control in our LGv20, if you can help, lots of users will be grateful..
Simplifying the process for just that purpose will help lots of users who are annoyed by not being able to stop the peeking without muting the whope notification per app..

Do we have to be rooted for this?
I want the embedded battery percentage and would like to remove the alarm and Bluetooth icons too

I can confirm this working using the adb, my confirmation is related to blocking the headsup notification on Android N LGv20
Update:
Already did it, worked, no root, directly using adb, blocked headsup finally.. My device lgv20 Android N

adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
That should do the trick, for all of you trying to disable peek/heads_up notifications.

An Android thing, which LG disabled. I'm sure it can be enabled by decompiling the systemui apk.

No, we want to keep the notifications in the second screen. We don't want them on the main screen, which that command solves.

yes the notifications stays in the the second screen, kind of moving/forcing the heads up from the main screen to the second screen.

Try updating adb/tools.
I'm guessing if you don't have 6.0+ tools it may not work.
Edit: Looks like your first command didn't work either

This is the command you want to run to disable the heads up notifications:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
The one your trying to run activates the UI Tuner which doesn't function correctly anyways from what it looks like (and the command to do that requires SU (superuser/root))

My assumption is that its device related, meaning if the device was supplied by a network provider, or unlocked.. Mine was unlocked. Again am assuming but might be the reason. Mine is H990 dual sim unlocked

Wow, thanks for this thread. Was able to get rid of the stupid alarm clock always being on along with a few other notifications. Was a piece of cake!!

[Galaxy-S7][SM-G930F][6.0.1] Software update & related nagging pop-ups

Originally asked here but I admit I might have better start a new thread since it's unrelated.
Also, this happened BEFORE rooting as well.
I tried a trick to quit having software updates (firmware by Samsung) by clicking on the FotaAgent and "installing" it (doesn't actually install it, in /system/priv-app/FotaAgent/FotaAgent.apk but then I had the nagging "Unfortunately, Software Update has stopped" message a couple of times in a row on each boot or every time I turn on Wi-fi. I then tried fixing THAT by disabling DiagMonAgent through BK Disabler, but that now gives me a message (on boot up at the lock screen) saying "All apps associated with this action have been blocked, disabled or uninstalled". Not the end of the world but still, is there a way to end all this? I was thinking re-flashing the ROM (stock) but I'm hoping there's another solution.
I have then also tried going to /system/etc/security/ and renamed otacerts.zip adding a .bak as extension just so it doesn't find it (still doesn't solve the problem). Lastly, I went in Application Manager through the normal Marshmallow system menu and cleared cache on the "Software Update" (system apps) specifically. Still no success. Oh, and yes, I did wipe cache partition (maybe a million times, at each step). Any insight would be appreciated or anyone who's experienced this.

So, just to keep anyone reading this updated, I tried what was in both threads and still doesn't work. I even tried ADB'ing to PM HIDE com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp & com.policydm, but got the following error:

(and yes, USB debugging was on, OEM unlock, and install from untrusted sources)
tried disabling them through BK Package Disabler, still get the pop-ups.
Will just re-flash at this point, wasting more time than had I just reflashed.
EDIT: oh, and did also try com.samsung.sdm & com.samsung.sdmviewer but couldn't find these at all, even through adb with the -u handle to view hidden ones.
But thanks again, could've worked
