Does anyone know where I can find QuickOffice for my g2? Im running cm6.1.1 and I downloaded a pdf and when I pressed it it went to quicloffice but when I exit I can't find it on the app.drawer or anywhere ..
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
You can get it from the stock deodex rom and push it to /system/app, I'm about to do that once I get home from work, so I can confirm.. I got the ezpdf from market but I think quick office seems better
Edit: I can confirm that it works by just extracting the Quickoffice.apk in stock deodex rom and push it back to cm, its usable and will also appear in the app drawer now

Same here. I have CM6.1.1 and I can see Quickoffice in Titanium but it won't let me restore it.
Download Stock Deodex Rom v1.1 in the Development forums.. look through it, it might be towards the end or so..
You can use 7zip to extract files or windows extract .. so if you haven't gotten it, download it at download.com and install it.
Open the v1.1.zip rom, just double click on it, go to SYSTEM folder then APPS folder and search for Quickoffice.apk at the bottom and just drag it out to the desktop.
Now, either copy it through Terminal Emulator by just putting it to the root of sdcard and type
su
cp /sdcard/Quickoffice.apk /system/app
Or you can use adb, and I bet root explorer aswell as its pretty much all the same concept..

Before you do the "cp /sdc...." command, you have to mount system using this command: mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
Please correct me if it's wrong, I just copied it from another thread.
Yea you do, but sometimes you don't need to.. well, some that I notice or maybe its because I'm always switching roms and forget which ones which
A shorter one would be
mount -o remount rw /system

This also works and is pretty easy

If you have a nandroid backup of your stock rom you could also restore it and extract from there. Otherwise just flash the stock rom like noodles said and extract from there

You don't have to flash the stock rom, just download it to the computer and extract it there

If you are running CM6.1.1 you can just type this from the tools directory of your androidsdk install in the windows command prompt.
"c:\{android sdk path here}\tools\adb push Quickoffice.apk sdcard/"
then
"c:\{android sdk path here}\tools\adb remount"
that will remount the system partition. Then you can type this
"c:\{android sdk path here}\tools\adb shell"
then you will see this
"#"
then you can type
"# cp sdcard/Quickoffice.apk /system/app"

is there a way to uninstall system apps like FLICKR service?
Maybe via console?
Via ADB with the phone in recovery.
adb shell mount /system
adb ls /system/app
then find the apk file you want to delete and:
adb shell rm /system/app/(app name here).apk
You can also delete the files before you install a new version of the ROM you're using. You can delete .apk files from the ROM.zip file to flash so when you flash it they wont install.

you only have to put yourself in adb shell once,

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
There are a couple of ways to accomplish this. Some are already set up as a flashable zip you can flash in recovery. You can search through the Themes and Apps sections for others, but I use this way:
Be sure to have the Android SDK installed on your computer.
Download, and place the bootanimation.zip file in the TOOLS folder of the SDK.
Then the following ADB CODE:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource
adb reboot
You're all set!
If there is no corresponding mp3 file, no need for the 3rd command line

wouldn't that location be different depending on if it's a sense or aosp rom?

That I am not sure of, as I have always used sense based ROMS for the 4gees.
I know that Pushboot has a separate batch file for CM6, so I am fairly sure that there is a different dir.
Root Explorer works well for me when ADB is not available.
Just download, rename appropriately, and move to /system/customize/resource (or wherever your ROM stores these things).

That's what I did way back when. I ran a search in astro for bootanimation.zip first (to find the old one that I was replacing), because I didn't know where to move it to back then.

Every time I try and us the command "adb push" I get a return that says
cannot stat 'file name' : No such file or directory
Its probably something simple but I'm a newbie to ADB
my complete command is:
adb push vision.lights.so /system/lib/hw/
cannot stat 'vision.lights.so': No such file or directory
Is that file located in the same folder as your adb? If not then you need to setup a path to use adb anywhere. Instructions for that are in the adb guide.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Do I need to cd to the directory where that file is before I can push it?
My adb is already set up to run from any directory

Yes, you need to be in (cd) the directory that contains the file, or you could use the full path
adb push /download/vision.lights.so /system/lib/hw
It might be slightly different with Windows (c:/ ?)
Sent from my CyanogenMod Vision
Example if your adb is in c:/sdk/tools/
then you would have to cd until you are in tools folder (i.e. c:/sdk/tools/)
Copy your file into the tools folder.
Your command should work.

So everything gone fine till I try to push the framework-res.apk to my phone.
adb push framework-rez.apk /system/framework/
'adb' is not a recongnized as an internal or external command,
know I understand what that means but I installed SDK manager and had no cmd in there so I just used Command Prompt. If that is all of my problem how to I get SDK cmd? It didnt install when I installed the problem.

It's not enough to just install SDK manager, you also have to install ADB if you want to interface with your phone through your computer. You shouldn't have to go through SDK manager to use ADB once you have it installed, it should work straight through windows command prompt.

That will walk you through installing adb. Good luck.

I had that issue too, how I bypass it is to boot to CWM, go to "mounts and storage", then mount /system (and /data if that's relevant to what you're pushing). Others have used a line of code to mount the system from the PC end, but I find this easier to do through the phone.

Go to the system32 folder on your c drive and copy cmd from there to your tools folder in the sdk.
Now when you want to push, put the files you want to push in the tools folder and then open up the cmd that you placed in that folder, then run the push command.

Problem fixed! I needed to update my adb tools, was working with outdate ones because they did everything I needed until now.
I tried the commands, but the tar command doesn't seem to work. Do I have to install something to make tar work?
I used Root Explorer to extract the files, then moved them to /data/preload, then changed the permissions using adb. I think I got it correct. How can I tell if the stickers are installed correctly? What uses them? I saw a comment about the gallery but I can't see where that uses them?
Thanks!

Is this enough to receive any OTAs? Would I need to convert them to system apps?
