[Q] Installing DSP Manager to Oxygen - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a few problems getting DSP Manager to work on Oxygen.
I try and install the DSPManager.apk file and just get a tick with "Application not installed" next to it.
That's a little confusing since the tick suggests it installed - the "Application not installed" and lack of app says otherwise.
I'm running Oxygen 2.2 but I also got this error on 2.1.6.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

push it via adb (I'm gonna assume you have android-sdk)
put the .apk in your c:\ and reboot into recovery
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk/platform-tools
adb shell
mount /system
exit
adb push c:\DSPManager.apk /system/app/DSPManager.apk

Help using ADB to push an app

Hi all, I am using a froyo rom based on richardtrips rom.
I'm trying to push a themed facebook apk. I have placed the apk in the tools folder.
This is what I did.. Boot to recovery, then open a cmd on my windows laptop. I then did the cd to go to my adb tools folder.
Then I typed
Code:
adb remount
This gave me an error saying error 0.
So I tried while the handset was booted normally. The remount was successful.
I then typed
Code:
adb push system/app/facebook.apk
This just gave me the help list with details of all the commands.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
how about
adb shell mount /system
adb push C:\Facebook.apk /system/app/
adb reboot

How can you install APKs from other ROMs?

I have looked around quite a bit, and haven't really figured out the straight answer on this.
I have seen apks that can be downloaded of things like the clock or gallery app, and then I have seen custom roms that include things like the AOSP dialer, contact app, browser, etc. However in my small amount of trying, I couldn't install them on top of another ROM (or stock).
Is there an issue with signing them, or does it have to be done in recovery mode, or do I have to remove the existing stuff in something like Titanium backup and then install the other APKs, or would my only option be to learn the dark arts of rom cooking?
Edit: Answered thanks to mrchu001. Doing an "adb remount" and then issuing the install command from the shell worked.
I'm not sure if this works for ALL apks between roms, but when i flashed Fresh it didn't have the cooliris 3d gallery that DC has, so i opened the zip, and copied the APK from one rom to the other then flashed it. I'm sure there are some programs that just won't work even if you did it this way, but something to consider.
That works in most cases..
Just get the zip on your computer, open it extract the apk you want and adb install it to your connected device.
No luck with either method mentioned above. I'm sure I don't know what I'm doing... but I did an adb install <apk name> and got an error:
Code:
MacBook: tools laydros$ adb install CarDock.apk
1344 KB/s (238640 bytes in 0.173s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/CarDock.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION]
And I grabbed one of the base rooted roms, unzipped, added the CarDock and DeskClock apks to the system/app folder with everything else, and the ROM failed to load. I did the same clockwork rom manager install rom from SD card methods I have done before. I assume this means that the zip was not properly signed.
The apks I was testing were ones from bugless beast 0.4, any ideas?

it looks like you didnt direct your terminal correctly. i'm assuming you have the sdk on your computer btw. now try to upload the rom you want on your phone. plug it in. make sure usb debugging is set. make sure the apks you want to put on your phone are on your desktop. and try this:
Code:
cd ~/*where every your sdk is*/tools
./adb remount
./adb shell
./adb install ~/desktop/*apk name* /system/app
./adb shell reboot
maybe you already tried but just incase.. do you have the Unknown sources check box "Checked" under "Settings/application" menu? if not you need to to install apps not from the market..

The remount part did it, and then doing the install from adb shell. Thanks so much.
For the sake of anyone else that finds this, once you type adb shell, you are working from the phones shell instead of the one on your computer, so you would skip that command. I ended up moving the files to the sdcard, and then doing
Code:
cd ~/*where every your sdk is*/tools
./adb remount
./adb shell
(at this point you are at the phone's prompt)
install /sdcard/*apk name* /system/app
exit
(now you are back at the computer's prompt)
./adb shell reboot
Now I need to figure out what to install to get the phone/contacts working. Calendar and Mms applications were easy, but after installing several apks for the phone and contacts I just have a mess.
FroydVillain 1.0.0 install *.apk files in /system/app
Hi has anyone tried installing another apk file in FroydVillain 1.0. I follow the steps in the thread described i am able to issue adb shell commands and i have placed the apk files in the SD card as described. but i am getting an error as below that the file or dir is not found. tried several paths:
# install /mnt/sdcard/*.apk /system/app
install /mnt/sdcard/*.apk /system/app
install: can't stat '/mnt/sdcard/*.apk': No such file or directory
# install /sdcard/*.apk /system/app
install /sdcard/*.apk /system/app
install: can't stat '/sdcard/*.apk': No such file or directory
I use /mnt/sdcard path cause on Froyo the SDCARD folder is under /mnt.
any help solving this. i am trying to install some of the HTC Sense UI app to sys app. Like Stock.apk for test. and HTCAlbum.apk and others same result every time.
I have tried also AndroidCommander 0.7.9.6 updated for froyo. installing with it's install option button, and also from the console i run the shell command for install, successfully adds the apk in sys app folder but the apk is not installed, and asks for installation.
Thanks.
Regards Alek
help
Hi,
Can you explain to begginers (like me) how do you installed the apk in system/app? please, I want to install contacs.apk form CM9 to other rom.
Thanks.

[MOD] 3-Click QuickTempRoot TerminalMOD :/

Alright all,
I know there's another thread about "easier" method, but this is easiest for me. 3-Clicks after installation.
I was really tired of typing the same crap over and over after rebooting just to get my temproot back to do more testing/playing.
So I redeveloped this to be quicker/easier upon reboot. Mainly I altered the Term app to be have a scripted start-up on the 1st 3 launches.
I also updated the su/Superuser combo with ChainDD's latest stuff.
Here's how it works, after it's installed.
3ClickTempRooter said:
1) You run the terminal app once, wait a few seconds and it disappears.
2) You run the terminal again, wait for it to FC.
3) You run the terminal a final time and receive root.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now on each reboot, it will be simply 3-clicks (running terminal app 3 times).
Finally ... any executable script placed in /data/local/tmp will be in the path of the new terminal mod. This makes running other scripts very easy.
Installation
Download the attached QuickTempRooter.zip and place it in a directory and unpack it.
Turn on USB debugging and install through adb ...
Here's the adb installation snippet ...
Code:
adb kill-server
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rage
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell 'pm uninstall com.android.term'
adb install Term.apk
Has made my life wayyy easier when playing with this phone while we wait for the real-deal!!!
Hope you enjoy!
NOTES
If you get a permission denied on the ''adb shell 'pm uninstall com.android.term' '' ... this is normal if you don't have a terminal already installed or have an alternate terminal app (using a namespace other than com.android.term.
If you have another Terminal App installed, you may want to uninstall it first, to avoid confusion.
Also, you may need to reboot after the initial installation for it to work properly!
ummmmm.....Enomther??
Did you get a G2 already?
Great to see you helping out with this
Great to see you here man! Trying this now can't wait to get themes rolling once we get permanent root!

If you didn't already have a terminal app installed that error is normal. Also you may need to reboot once after the initial installation for it to work properly.

Sorry, this is my first Android. I came from WM and I was pretty good with it.
I've searched XDA, Youtube, and web to ADB and SDK. I've downloaded it and it's installed. The only thing I don't get is when you said to
"Download the attached QuickTempRooter.zip and place it in a directory and unpack it."
You mean place the extracted files into the sd card correct? That's why the command is "adb push su /sdcard/su".

No, he means on your PC. You are running adb to push files contained in the zip to your phone.

So they go into the tools folder? Damn. I think I've in over my head here.
Like this?
If you have better terminal, you can also add the rage and root to specific keys.
At this command I'm getting told "failed to copy 'su' to '/sdcard/su': Read-only file system"
adb push su /sdcard/su

Unplug then plug ur phone back in then try again also make sure u are in usb debug mode
Good work, Temp root in like 5 seconds
Quick question, ok I was able to get root for a few mins, then it went away I guess I have to have the terminal always open or ignore so my taskiller doesnt terminated it?
Don't use task killers. (IMHO)
But I tend to have to reboot every once in a while to keep root in tacked within terminal but all my apps seem to stay with su permissions until reboot (or sometimes 12 hours)

[Q] How to push HTCFacebook.apk to /system/apps

Hey guys, before saying anything else, I'm a complete newb to this. That being said, I have MetroDroid 1.0 as my ROM and it doesn't have htcfacebook.apk installed on it, so no contacts syncing. It angers me! What I need is the htcfacebook.apk and .odex files, and a good tutorial on how to install them on my EVO. Im a noob, so you'll need to be detailed lol. I've been looking around but I cant find clear instructions, so I tough I might as well ask. Thank in advance
Nevermind, I figured all that out. Now it says 'failed to copy. out of memory'
After trying to install using the
adb install HtcFacebook.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
command it says
Failure INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
^that was when I was trying to install it while not in recovery. In recovery it says
/sbin/sh: pm: not found
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Anyone? Help? I'm stuck. lol.
Try this. Put the apk in the Android sdk tools folder and open command prompt and navigate to the tools folder. Then run;
adb push HTCFacebook.apk /system/app/ (press enter)
adb shell reboot
Hope this helps.

Alright so I tried what you said and it gives me the error
failed to copy 'HtcFacebook.apk' to '/system/app/': Is a directory

To be more exact, this what I had typed in
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb push HtcFacebook.apk /system/app/
Click to expand...

Also, my EVO was in recovery when I did this.
type "adb remount" before you push
and if that doesnt work, lose the first '/'
if you are in recovery you will need to
adb shell
#mount /system/
exit
then you can push them to system
adb push /yoursdklocation/tools/yourapk.apk/ /system/app
if not in recovery the
adb remount
will suit your purpose

[Q] ADB: not found ..

Hey
I've got a problem with ADB.
When I try to push HTCAlbum.apk in /system/app
Code:
adb shell
su
adb push HTCAlbum.apk /system/app
I get this error :
Code:
adb: not found
Things I done ..
> Installed Java JDK successfully.
> Installed HTC Sync & drivers successfully.
> Installed the Android SDK successfully .
> Installed every 'Available Packages' in SDK Manager successfully .
> I edited the 'Path' in Environmental Variables (;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) successfully, and it works.
> Enabled USB Debugging on my HTC.
Extra info?
> Running Windows 7.
> HTCAlbum.apk is in the same map as adb (C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools).
> Before I started with the adb push, I changed system r/o to r/w with RootExplorer.
But when I try to push HTCAlbum.apk to /sdcard/ it does work..
Code:
adb shell
su
adb push HTCAlbum.apk /sdcard/
Btw adb devices also works..
So why do I get this error :
Code:
adb: not found
?
Anyone can help me? If u need more information or w/e, just post it in a reply here.
Thanks in advance
-Sorry for my bad English / I'm Dutch so that's why -
If you are using your PC's Android SDK, dont bother with ADB Shells. Just browse to the tools folder of your SDK (Make sure HTCAlbum.apk is placed there), then, simply type
adb push HTCAlbum.apk /system/app
Also, if you are not S-OFF, then Connect your Wildfire to your PC, Reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery, Go to Mounts and Storage, and Select Mount /system. Then perform the above procedure.

I am actually S-OFF, but that method worked (then Connect your Wildfire to your PC, Reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery, Go to Mounts and Storage, and Select Mount /system. Then perform the above procedure.)
