No root bootanimation change - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Tryn to change boot on unrooted inc. Cani? If so how? Please help

You need to root. That allows read/write to /system, specifically /system/resources/customize, where it lives.
Unrooted means you can only read /system, so you cannot replace or change anything.

I have a question how can I remove the adobe flash player from stock 2.3.3 want to put in the hacked one
Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
the same way you would remove any app, menu-settings-applications-manage
try that already.. this is a system file and needs permission that's what pops up..
do you have root? if you have root you can remove it, if not then you can't
then you would need to be rooted
Thanks not root.. I wish..lol

Any got a guide or know how to port keyboards? Please be as detailed as possible. Or if you know how maybe you can do it for me if you'd be so kind I'm trying to port the Motorola Photon keyboard.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Normally you can just use es file manager/root explorer, go into the system/apps, find the keyboard apk, then try to install it. Perhaps get a rom from that device and then extract the apk as well.
I've tried many times it says application not installed

Please post that apk here. And I wi make it work for you. I assume it is LatinIME.apk, right?

here it is:

if you get it to work can you please tell me how you did it
Thanks
here try this
What I did was sign it. Should be able to install correctly now
Whether it works or not after its installed is another story...I did not test.
Is the photon leyboard much different than the gb keyboard? I'm curious.
Btw. after you download file, don't mess with it in anyway. That will break the signture.
Thanks ill try it and post results in a bit

I tried it and it won't install.
Here is a list of what I did:
I tried installing unsigned
I tired adb install unsigned
Root explorer to put unsigned apk in system/app and I also signed it and tried all the above and no go
On adb it says something like user shared not compatible
And tried your signed apk and nope

If you have existing copy of LatinIME.apk in system/app, you need to delete it first. The signatures are different with the unsigned and signed version i posted. Please remove the apk in system/app, then try installing via adb again.

Long pressing in a text area didn't allow you to select it? Also go into settings > language and keyboards. and look for it there, as you might have to 'enable' it.
It force closes

System/app

So I am trying to copy past browser from frozen rom to urban metamorpisis how ever my computer won't let me does anone have any ideas on how to do this
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
If you have root you could copy it to your SD card with Root Explorer from the Market. Titanium Backup would let you back it up and restore the backup on another ROM.
Needs to be pushed to system\app with root explorer. Then reboot.

I tried that won't let me push it there for some odd reason

Did you hit the mount r/w button in the upper left hand corner of root explorer?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yes I did I get to the app folder in system/app and then I clicked paste then I look to the folder and it didn't get placed
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Try deleting or renaming the old file first then copy and paste the new one. Are you using Root Explorer?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes I am using root explorer I got it placed in current running rom in system/app and then re boot and look in app section and browser still not there try installing apk direct says app not installed
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
So you paste it,check it, its there, reboot and its gone?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
No I reboot check its there but the actually app is not there

Can't mount system as r/w...

For some reason my system is locked as r/o and i can't do anything..rooted stock 4.03 and ds kernel
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Ok what i had to do was restore my phone and start it without the sim card and then freeze device management and them put the card back in...maybe TMobile is sending some type of lock? Anyone else?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Are you using SuperSU? I was having issues with that not granting root permissions correctly, so my root apps wouldn't do anything that requires root.. i.e mount r/w

I found out if you restore with cwm 5026 or 5027 this will happen...you have to use one of the touch recoveries...

Root question

Is it possible to root the device, make what modifications you need to then remove root as there a few apps I have that won't work if I'm rooted yet I'd like to make a few mods but that would require rooting.

No, because every time you start a root app it will ask for root permission. What are the apps that won't work while rooted? I haven't ran into any yet my self.

A Root App ask only first start for root permissions.
A Root App won´t work with all functions without root permission
I suppose it's possible to make modifications to the system with root and maintaining hem after removing root, but that would have to be a one time modification.

It would not be possible for you to access any root app and access them after unroot as it will request permissions from Super Su and more over if you try and access it would either crash or give you an error saying you donjt have root access.
For example I want to modify the standard keyboard so the symbols show on the keys but you need to root to do this yet if I root, Sky Go won't work so I'm wondering if I could root, modify the keyboard then unroot so Sky Go still works but the keyboards mod still works
