I have a rooted HTC Desire (GSM) (3 network) with,
*MildWild V-2.7.2 Based on Oxygen 2.3.2 HTC Desire GSM* CW recovery V4....
I've successfully installed and managed to partition my SD but I recently decided to change my Boot animation.
I downloaded the correct "animationboot.zip" file with the correct resolution and placed it on the root of my SD as explained in a tutorial.
However when on my file explorer (both astro and native MIldWild app) I couldn't locate the "/system/media or the data/local/" folders on my sd card or even when connected in usb mode.
I tried just installing the animation straight from my recovery menu but it cancelled the installation.
How do I locate or find my "system" or "data" folders??
Thanks in adavance
Use a better file explorer app. One that can access root directory.
via xda app
Cheers stankyou it worked

Trying to load a new boot animation onto my DHD and I've encountered an odd problem, apparently i can't write system folders, root explorer won't mount it and adb won't push the file to it saying write only system making me think it's not rooted properly.
I though I'd rooted it fine with visonary as I got s-off installed and clockwork?
Hello buddy! I think i can help you!
Follow this steps :
- Go on Root Explorer and coppy the bootanimation.zip
-Than go to /system/customize/resource and before you past it, click in the white box in the right top that called "Mount R/W"
- Mount R/W will be Mount R/O
- Coppy it, reboot and be happy!
yeah tried that root explorer won't mount r/w hence the issue

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have the exact same problem where the system will not mount as r/w! The odd thing is that I have a custom rom installed so it should be rooted properly by default.
Anyone have any ideas?
is it something to do with having radio s-off and not the eng hboot?
Still have this problem only way round it is to flash in recovery, however leedroid gives an easier alternative if all your wanting is a custom boot animation

Has Root Explorer been granted superuser permissions?
You wont be able to change anything if it hasn't.
To check, open the Superuser app and check Root Explorer has a green dot beside it.
If not click it and set to remember.
Now open Root Explorer and the R/W option should work.
All good as far as superuser is concerned pretty sure the only way to edit those areas is through recovery

Weird.
Try Android Revolution HD ROM. This lets you change bootanims easy
do you guys have s-off? the nand protection, wont let you write to /system/ while the device is booted, even if your rooted without s-off
I'm running leedroid so no longer an issue for me but should have s-off remember doing it before installing cwm

I have an htc desire rooted and have a 4gb sd card.
i put the .apk file in the sd card and access it with file explorer in the mobile.
how can i install the .apk file directly to sd card instead of installing it in the mobile storage?
thanks
I don't think it's possible, but what you can do is install it normally and and then use Application Manager to move it to SD. (Apps to SD or a2sd)
Perhaps you already know this so sorry if i'm preaching to the quior!
Of course the ROM has to support this as well as the App. If i remember correctly i think this was supported officially from 2.2 onward. (Froyo). Custom ROMs, especially Cyanogenmods, usually have this feature working out of the box.
so is there anyway of doing it up to today?
Of course. It's called a2sd.

You should install a rom with app2sd or data2sd
I found a solution. Connect your phone to computer and use adb
Code:
adb install -s /patch/to/file

Hi here an odd way by the way:
as far as I know in the mixui10ml (as a custom rom 4 xperia ray search 4 it)there is such ability but u should unzip it and find and test apk files and install them to find out which one do such thing
I personally do other work ... copy all apk file in to my new downloaded custom rom and replace them and it works great!
and i should that point this apk isnt like apk2sd & other silly apk... it added in to system as a property and automatically run whenever an apk install.
its the only *(hard but real) way* that i find by searching in 2 years!!! sorry 4 my poor EN just want to help!
at last I find the name of that apk!!: "package installer.apk"!
Hi Folks
I hope someone can help me out here...
I recently cleaned out my rooted DHD with Titanium backup, removing all Vodafone branded crap in there, but i accidentally also removed HTC Music, lol
Fortunately i made a nandroid backup with CWM, but I'm unable to browse the content as it seems the .bin archive is not accessible/compatible with the standard compression tools (like winrar)
How do i access the archive, and where (what folder on my DHD) do i copy the HTC music .apk to when extracted?
Or can i just re-install the apk with HTC sync?
If it's not possible then that's OK as I'm using Poweramp at the moment.....
thanks in advance!
get a rooted stock rom with your base (1.32, 1.72...) , extract the htcmusic.apk from it and move it to your system/app with root explorer or adb
Thanks for your swift response!
I got hold of a stock ROM (from the development threads here) but have the same problem as with my nandroid backup.. i cannot open/browse the archive content.
Should i use some specific tool to be able to extract/browse the .img archives?
Here you go, extracted it from [ROM] LeeDrOiD HD v2.2.3 [Kernel] LeeDrOiD v2.2.9 .zip file instead of the stock .img, using 7-Zip program for Windows 7 PC. When using it, right click -> open archive -> System / App -> copy........
View attachment HtcMusic.apk
Extracting the apps from a custom ROM is the best and simplest way to do this.
If anyone needs to extract his nandroid backup though, unyaffs (http://code.google.com/p/unyaffs/) and cygwin (or a native Linux environment) will do the trick.
Thanks all for your advice and guidance.. i got HTC music back with both the methods mentioned here
At least i know now how to get in to the nandroid archive.
Cheers, R
Gents,
I need your help again...
Now I've managed to get HtcMusic.apk back to my system/app folder.
I've tried to push the .apk with ADB but that didn't work as the system/app folder was read only, so i had to copy the apk to the root my sd stick and move it to the proper folder with root explorer after i changed the folder to temporarily read/write.
But now the application doesn't show up anywhere on my phone - Like its invisible - I rebooted the phone but that has no effect as well.
I can only find it with root explorer.
How can i get it to work again?
Did you change the permissions to be the same as the other files in that directory?
yes i did, like all the other files in that directory: rw--r--r--
but to no effect
Did you try using package installer to install from the new directory or sdcard?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
No i did not try that yet.. i just moved the apk. from my sd/root to system/app as advised here..
Sorry for the dumb question, but where can i find package installer?
edit: Ok i found i can install via root explorer, but it doesn't seem to work.. packet not installed, not even when i change the system/ap directory to read/write and change the apk permissions to r/w/x
Should i try to install the apk via HTC synch on my PC? (although i understood that it is not possible to reinstall sense apps this way)
Hi,
Has anyone an idea what i can try next?
perhaps fixing permissions in rom manager, or installing the .apk via recovery?
And I'm also wondering if the system/app directory is the correct folder where HTC Music goes (because there's also an /data/app and data/data folder where HTC apps reside).. Can someone check and confirm please?
thanks
I think it's safe to bump the thread as more that a month has passed.
Does anyone have an idea what to try next? All my attempts have failed so far.
Would also like to know if system/app is the correct folder where htcmusic.apk is installed as there's also /data/app and data/data folder where HTC apps reside
Ok, im a bit closer getting it to work.
I flashed HTC music in a zip file through CWM recovery - A guy from an Dutch Android revolution site made a zip and advised to flash it via CWM recovery - and the app is back.
the only thing is that it force_closes (com.htc.music stopped unexpectedly)
Fixing permissions through rom manager doesn't work either.
What can i do next?
p.s. HTC music version i'm using is 2.0.0000.278886 - So maybe it's an outdated version?

I have rooted my HTC Desire HD with the Android Revolution rom.
Now the boot sound is gone, but how do i get the sound back again?
If you're not familiar with customizing ROMs, you should check out some guides before doing anything. But anyhow, this is how you change the sound:
1. Gain access to your actual 'ROM' drive on your phone. You can do it by for example downloading an application called Root Explorer from the Market.
2. Place the android_audio.mp3 on your SD-card. (Attached to the second post)
3. Open Root Explorer, locate the android_audio.mp3 and copy it.
4. Go to /data/local/ and tap the Mount R/W button on the top.
5. Then remove the audio file in the folder (if there is any) and paste the HTC audio file there.
6. The folder should now have two files: bootanimation.zip and your new (android_audio.mp3) audio file.
7. Restart the phone and it should work.

But just to be curious; why do you want the sound to be back?
I found the original HTC boot up sound, the file is attached to the message.

No problem. And just to clarify, the sound file can be anything, it doesn't have to be the HTC's one.

Some of us just like the original boot up sound
Hello from Greece,
I have flashed my HTC Desire with SuperNova rom v2.4.0.0 and I noticed that there isn't any boot sound during phone's startup...
But with root explorer I found an mp3 file at path... /data/local with the name "android_audio.mp3"...
In order to re-enable the boot sound with the original HTC startup sound what I can do...???
Do I must replace this existing file with the original one, although the two files have the same size...???
Or I must flash a signed file containing the sound I want from recovery mode...???
Thank you very much...!!!
No Luck
