Basically I want to install these mods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287810
I have the stock rooted kernel (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282415) which doesn't include CWM. Is there a way to install these mods without flashing through CWM?
Thanks.
I heard that rom manager now support our phone, it installs latest CWM version 5.0.2.7
I usually use adb push
Looks like you need a custom kernel for Rom Manager to work right now.
Can I just replace the files on my phone with these files and reboot?
use Odin to flash custom kernel with cwm compiled. lostkernel or zedomax's kernel both got cwm.

Yes but can I install these WITHOUT CWM?

No without custom recovery which is what cwm is you can not flash anything that is not signed by samsung .....you could flash an update through the samsung recovery but everything else will fail signature check .....that is why we use odin and clockwork mod

Technically yes you can. You would have to know how and where to push everything via adb but if you don't know or are uncomfortable I would definitely avoid it.
Hey romanodog you get CWM with stock rooted kernal without having to odin anything. All you have to do is do the following:
1. Go to the thread called " Lets Get Rid of that Yellow Triangle" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297999)
Note: with the root method you used you wont have the yellow triangle but this is necessary to get cwm on stock kernal.
2. Download and extract the the zip called "chris41g.devphone.org/LoStKernel/FlashzImage.zip" to your desktop or directory of choice
3. now open this folder and delete the file called zImage
4. go to this thread called "Stock Pulled Repacked with CWM5" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305099)
4. download the StockCWM5.zip file and extract this new zImage to the folder FlashzImage
5. run the bat file
Note: after you replace the zImage you can pretty much follow the how to video done by QbKing77 (thank him) in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297999
cool thanks man, I will have to try that out
you can do all the mods without cwm quite easily.
just take the files from inside the zip and use a file browser to copy them to the phone.
i use es file explorer mostly, its free and lets you access the root partition.
available in the market.
(you can also use the adb push command if comfortable with a command line from the pc or a terminal emulator such as connectbot from the phone)
the trick is just figuring out where the files go. luckily when you unzip the mod you'll get folders such as
meta-inf
system
ignore the meta-inf
its the system folder you want
system> which will usually contain something like app and framework folders
just copy those files to /system/app and /system/framework viola! either overwriting the files already there or better yet backup those files or rename them first.
no cwm needed but you do need root
p.s. also you may need to reboot for changes to take effect

Cool! I thought I could do something like that but I wanted someone to confirm, thanks!
I'm pretty familiar with linux but these phones are a whole new world to me.

Basically I wanna install that mod I have a rooted r800i. O understand u have to flash the system hi Rom.zip but what apps do I need and how do I install this.....
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
When it says you have to flash a zip file you dont do it in adb you do it from the phone using clockwork mod recovery, this allows you to change system settings easily with one file (the .zip) as i suspect you haven't unlocked your bootloader you just extract the file to your memory card (usually a system.apk file) use a program such as root explorer on your phone, copy the file to the /system/ path change the permissions like it says on the mod page, and move the file into /system/app
restart the phone and it should be there.
However if you unlocked your bootloader and installed a custom recovery/kernel you could just select the .zip you downloaded and apply it to the system, and its done.
I just followed this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207310&highlight=install+in+recovery&page=2
...as was suggested in the notification toggle thread.
All done in less than a minute and working perfectly - no flashing necessary.
This is my first droid I have rooted and I followed the directions and I have root on it but it seems my default recovery is now gone and I read the how to on making clockwork be installed 24/7 but I dont have a /system/reboot-from-recovery.p file to delete. Thanks
You need to get a file explorer that can access the /system folder to be able to see it. Root explorer works for sure. That's the one I always use. There's other ones too, some probably free. Once you get one of those apps you will be able to rename or delete that file.
Boot phone into fastboot mode, get the CWM file and then use the fastboot command to flash CWM:
fastboot flash recovery <file name>.img
It may be 'fastboot-windows' if you're using the files from Superboot

Hi,
I need to install HTC's Locations app on any custom ROM (ie: MyOneV or CM9/CM10)
So any1 can help me with this ?
(i tried it though, by moving these files (from MyOneV5.0FX Removed apks) htclocation.apk,locationpicker.apk,locatiooninstaller.apk in System/app folder bt it didn't worked)
When you move those files to system app manually, you need to put right permission rw-r--r-- then reboot.
Or the simplest way is, open the Removed_Apks_RC5.x.zip with 7-zip (not extract), delete all apks that you don't need and leave those location files in zip.
Then flash the zip in recovery.
And these files will not work on a CM rom.

:good:
Thankz
I tried that too, by removing all apks from zip keeping the said three files & flash it in recovery, still it doesn't appeared in apps!
Though i'll try again may b missed something or some file..
I just tried it, it works.
Your filename looks different, attached here the files from the Removed_Apks_RC5.x.zip, I named it to location.zip. Flash in recovery.
It Worked: Thanx
Is it possible to have WIFI tethering on GB27 rooted without having to flash it in? I have the stock but rooted GB27 on my Sprint Epic 4G touch and would like to occasionally tether my tablet to my phone mobile data.
I did some research in the forum but haven't found one that did not require flashing it in and I have had trouble in the past with this way of installing it.

Hi. When you say you've had trouble in the past, do you mean with crawrj's hotspot mod, or is flashing anything in recovery the problem? I only ask because if you're not comfortable doing anything in recovery, I wouldn't want to suggest other root actions really, because I'd always preface by saying to make a backup... And if you're not comfortable making a backup, I would be concerned about your modifying system files to begin with. Not saying this for any reason other than caution, bud... making a backup and flashing tested mods are your safest approach.
If you must:
I need to be clear that you make any system file changes with a risk, minimized by making a backup first.
What the flashable mod does is replace two small, important files in your framework folder. (Make a backup first?)
Download the correct mod. It will be a zip file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879140
Don't extract the zip, but dig into this folder: system\framework\.
There are only two jar files in there. You need to copy them into the corresponding folder in the file system on your phone. So copy the services.jar and wimax.jar you just got from that zip and paste them into system\framework\ folder on your phone. You'd do this using a root browser such as ROM Toolbox or ES File Explorer.Paste those two jar files into the framework folder. Long press on each and verify/change the permissions to be 0677 (or RW-R--R--). Reboot.
Thanks for the option and advice. I used to flash my Nexus phone all the time with no troubles but ever since I came to the Epic 4G Touch I have had issues in flashing. A couple times I came close to a hard brick. I am used to using root explorer or ES File Explorer and could easily backup those two files. Since settling into GB27 I should probably look again at putting AGAT's recovery on my phone. I will look at the info in your link.

Hi everyone
This is my first thread, so I decide to make it useful to everyone
Let's GO !
What You Want :
ES File Explorer File Manager (OR any file explorer supports zip extracting)
Rooted Phone
Nandroid Backup (You don't know how important it is)
1- enable root explorer and set permission to r/w (read & write)
2- extract the flashable zip to your memory
3- go to the existing folder
4- copy everything except META-INF folder to the root of your phone
5- "Must" show replace confirmation select confirm
6- After the copy operation is finished, reboot your device
7- Done, Congratulations
PLEAS NOTE THAT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE ABOUT YOUR DEVICE IF YOU BREAK IT RESTORE THE NANDROID BACKUP
note if its a new file you need to set permissions of the file
most files in app are rw-w-w however some may vary depending on what file it is
at the end of the day if you have a flashable zip its much better to flash certain things than push to system so if the flashable zip has already been made for you than you might as well use it
One doubt please

yes just push to system and set permissions - normally rw-r-r
although I dont know why you would want to do this as its always better to flash the file and since you have a flashable zip why not just flash it
Just a confuse

with root browser you can set permissions of any file - please search how
it depends what framework files you are replacing - you cant just replace with any old file from a different rom - it wont work
if its been designed for your rom or you are modding your own files then thats fine
and a flashable zip takes two secs - you dont need a pc - and iv posted a template loads of times
here is it again - just add any files you want to flash to framework in the framework folder
if you want files to go to the app folder just create a folder in system in the zip called app and put files there
same for any other folder in system
