Hello,
I am wanting to install a few applications in system folder so that they get root access on an unrooted phone. I have seen that its possible to uninstall system applications using fastboot, so this makes me think that it is possible.
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
Im hoping that maybee there is a script which will take a file from the work folder and flash it into system app folder?
Thanks guys

Hello,
I started experimenting with my Android yesterday when I found out about metamorph which requires rooted phone and busybox..
I managed to root the phone but couldnt install the busybox with the application from the market - it says that busybox was not found..
Then I installed the SDK platform, and wanted to do it with adb
I downloaded busybox ... tar.bz2 file and unrared it into SDK/tools and tried pushing it to my android to /system/local by doing:
adb push /Users/../android/platform-tools/busybox /data/local
but adb pushed the subfolders (children) to the /data/local folder instead of the folder with childen folders itself.
Now I wonder:
1. how to remove all those junk files?
2. am I doing the right thing? should I copy the tar.bz2 without unraring it? what is the right procedure?
is there any easier way to accomplish this?
Thanks for help
One way to get busybox is with titanium backup. Install the app open then menu*problems*Yes, do it.

Hello,
I uninstalled (inadvertently) the system application DMClient on my ASUS Transformer.
I would like to re-install. How to.
I have a backup of this System Application (com.asus.dm.apk) but it doesn't want to install.
What is the solution ?
Thank you for your responses
(Sorry for my english but i'm french)
adb push it to system/app
Thank's for the reply, but i'm newbie. Can you be a little more... explicit, please.
This thread will show hoe to set up ADB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071584
Once done put the file (com.asus.dm.apk) in the platform-tools folder
and run command
Code:
adb push <application_name>.apk /system/app
you could also try manually moving the file with Root explorer or any file management with root access to system/app to see if that work
The file com.asus.dm.apk is already on system/app but the application DMClient doesn't appear ine the Application list
Try this, not sure if it will work or not.
Navigate to where you have the app (system/app in this case)
long press on it to bring up the menu
choose "permission" and set to rw,r,r if not already set to that
now tap on it again to install the app
also when you say it's not showing up in Application list.
Are you refering to the app drawer? Cause it will not show up there.
You can find it in Settings>Applications>Manage application>All (if it's installed correctly)
I'm rooted. I have uninstalled it with UltimateBackup.
DMClient is (was) a ROM application.
I have tried to restaure it with Titanium Backup, then with Ultimate Backup without success (the restore process begin but never end).
I'm very dispointed because without this application, i can't access to OTA Firmware updates.
if anybody have an idea !!!
Thank
Well if you have CWM you could flash the latest OTA update from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409584
Flashing with a new firmware seems to be an heavy solution for only one file missing.
In system/app, i have DMClient.ODEX and com.asus.dm.apk instead of having DMClient.ODEX and DMClient.apk
Hi everyone,
I'm sort of like new here, I had a problem entering download mode after flashing xbsall's ics ported rom, that's solved now due to some users posting threads with the same problem. Thank you
I noticed that no one is talking about the 3D Converter not working properly, I tried Angry Birds 1 (Space didnt have 3d functionalities under GB and Star Wars appears to be going the same way, I think Rovio is planning on realeasing another trilogy on the 3DS and that is why they took away 3D functionalities for smartphones).
Anyway, Angry birds 1 3D functionalities were not working properly under the 3D converter so I decided to delete the application through root uninstaller in order to be able to install the GB HRZ.apk version. While I was trying to do that, before being able to touch the uninstall feature, I noticed the root uninstaller did something and it deleted the application but in a wrong way. I was not able to install the HRZ.apk posted inside an xda thread because the system was telling me that it was going to replace a system application, bla bla bla and after going for its installation, it gave me the message that the application was not installed.
Through root explorer I deleted every single com.lge.lge3dconverter / hrz file and folder I could find, I cleaned the dalvic cache feature through the ram booster program and after all that, the system was still telling me the same thing as before when I tried to install the HRZ.apk GB app.
What can I do in order to be able to have a perfectly functional 3D Converter application for my games like I had it when I was using the GB rom? :crying:
Thank you in advance...
U cant install (Most of the time) an system app just by clicking on the . apk like a normal app. you have to use a root explorer an copy your app to the folder /system/app and then set permission to it like the other apps in that folder. then you have to reboot

Thank you, I did what you said, I put the HRZ.apk GB app inside the /system/app and rebooted the phone, nothing happened, I do not *know what launcher are you talking about...sorry for that.
I did something else too, I put the HRZ.apk inside the /system/apps/boot (or bootloader cant remember) folder and managed to see it inside the Application manager app listed as needing an update (maybe its still detecting the ICS 3d converter app badly uninstalled as installed). I tried to update the app and it gave me an error.
Do you or anyone have or has the xbsall's ics 3d converter apk ? If so, can you put that apk version available here as a download, please?
I know it was the one that was giving me problems but if the system is not letting me install the GB 3.0 version, I need the one that came with the rom in order to see if there is another way to fix the problem...
Thank you and thank you guys for your help...

I tried installing it with both Flashify and Magisk, but both methods failed.
When I tried installing it via the included Xposed Installer, it also failed, but gave me the message:
> Error: Xposed_Framework.jar already exists in /system/framework
I'm guessing a previous installation failed, but left the file there.
My next idea is to delete that file from /system/framework and try again, but since it's in an RO directory I don't have permission.
I tried using a terminal emulator to mount the drive in rw mode, and also tried using a root file explorer, but either both methods don't work, or I just couldn't figure it out.
Anyone have an idea of how to remove or rename that file so I can try to install the .zip ?
-Thanks

In the Xposed app you should be able to just run the uninstaller script. If that doesn't work, boot TRWP and delete it from there.

Unfortunately, the uninstaller also fails.
It says it can't remove that file from a read only directory..

Root Explorer....
This app does wonders, it allows you to modify directories in /system and other root folders. You can even change permissions of specific folders/files from read/write/read-only....etc. I've had this app since the earliest of android days and it has been my go to file explorer. Root Explorer of course requires root....but it completely unlocks your phone and allows you to modify any system file that is set to any permission. Of course there are other file explorers that allow you to modify system files, but this is the one that i have the most experience with. You should be able to access the system folder where the Xposed file remains and modify it so it can fix your problem.

This!. I've used it for years. Not muss no fuss. It's not bloated like a certain couple others I know of. It just does what it does and does it well. Manages files. No extra garbage.Give it a try. I'd be surprised if you can't delete it with Root Explorer. If you do try it, go to the folder you want to delete the file from. Once in there, look at the top right of the screen. Somewhere up there It will say MOUNT R/W. Touch that and you should be able to do whatever you want to within that folder.
Do you have the magisk DNSCrypt module installed? If so, thats why you cant modify anything in /system. Not sure why or how it breaks it, but it does. Took me for ever to figure out what was causing it. Now that i removed the module, i can modify anything i want again.
