Installing an app to the System

Hello I got a question. So pretend I wanted to make ADW EX as a system app how should I do that. Also I have tried it using root explorer but I keep getting Force closes when I put it as a system app. Any suggestions would be nice. Thanks

In terminal
Su
mv /data/app/com.android.ADWEX.launcher-1.apk /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
That's exmaple how to do it.. jus put the proper name for adw ex and from there should be good i, I do ths with LP all the time

Well if you're using a custom rom then you can open the rom .zip with something like 7zip, navigate to system>app then drag and drop ADW EX in there. Flash the rom like normal and you're done. That's how I do it.
There's also the terminal method mentioned by ilostchild, though what was forgot is mounting the system as rw
mount -o remount,rw /system
There's also ADB which is done the exact same way aside from having to tell adb to operate in a shell.

I tried adding the market fixes from this thread but it doesn't seem to work on stock.
To install
rename your current build.prop in /system/ to build.prop.bak and copy this build.prop to /system/ and reboot.
Make sure the file permissions are rw-r--r-- or chmod 644
I recommend using root explorer. Below is the file permissions diagram if you use root explorer to change them.
XX0

All installers include a backup script as of 1-23-2012
If you have an error with the installer. Unplug your kindle wait a couple seconds and plug it back in. Make sure to eject and the sdcard from the computer and click disconnect on the kindle.
Download the automated Mac installer for stock here. | Download the build.prop for stock here.
Download the automated Mac installer for Paul's Modaco stock here.
Download the automated Mac installer for CM7 here. removed for now| Download a build.prop for kindle fire CM7 here.
If you have any suggestions please share them with me so I can add them.
If you wanna buy me a drink for my time go Here.

I'm assuming this is for stock KF firmware?

Correct this tweak is for the stock firmware.

Will this allow the market to show more apps, right now with stock build prop a lot of apps are not available

Nope. This does nothing for the Market. I don't think anyone has been successful in getting the market hacks to work yet.

Permissions?
Are you sure about those permissions? Everything I'm reading is suggesting it should be :
rw-r--r--
Or
XX0

I'm pretty sure. 777 is what mine was pre-editing. I am running the build.prop I have available above and it is working fine for me. I think you may be referring to the default.prop which has the permissions you listed.

Is this compatible with CM7?

Okay, I may have been mistaken. I checked the permissions of my build.prop.bak and they were listed as I posted above so I figured it should be the same. Would permissions change from renaming a file?
Also, I haven't touched default.prop.

Unfortunately I already replaced my build.prop with the one you posted. I have my permissions currently set to the same values as my .bak and have since rebooted with no issues. Should I be experiencing issues if my permissions are incorrect? Also, searching other forums (for other devices) and looking at the build.prop on my phone (Samsung vibrant) the permissions are rw-r--r--.

For anyone wanting to try this on CM7, don't do it because it doesn't work. In fact it turned the display 90* but still left the touch functions in the area they should be in, took me forever with playing with the buttons and a display that didn't match to get it fixed.

Has anyone tried incorporating any of the Amazon build.prop stuff into ones for CM7 to see if they could get the Kindle reader application to allow you to read magazines and other documents that you have set up in the documents of the reader software? I have a few magazines that I do like to read on my Fire and would hate to give them up by switching ROMs but if that was the ONLY thing I lost I would live.

Um that isn't going to brick you. Especially since you're talking about system app. Worst thing to happen would be a reboot if you touched an app which was currently running.
But I've been using root explorer and it works great. Or if the file is on my computer I use adb push. Or even a flashable zip if you really are worried.

Root Explorer is a file manager, use to move the file to the appropriate folder and set permissions and reboot. I know you can create a zip & tar file, don't know if it would be flashable though.

I tried using RootExplorer and I was still getting error messages after be booting. Is there a way to make it flash able? What am I doing wrong or is it just never going to work? Do I need to start looking for a rom that has it functional on the build?

Did you reset permissions to match the rest of the files in the folder?
And you probably need to wipe dalvik and cache in recovery.

Please know what you're talking about first before posting suggestions. Especially when it pertains to system directory permissions. System/app directory uses rw-r--r-- as the permissions. Meaning owner has read write permissions while everyone else only has read. Not setting permissions correctly can lead to many many many issues.

[GUIDE] ODEX any 4.1.1 JB ROM from official OTA

This will essentially odex all files in your /system/framework and it will do it straight from the Android UI via my personal favorite app ... this is good because it frees up memory, makes UI transitions cleaner, and reduces DVM size.
NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO ODEX YOUR /SYSTEM/APP/ DIRECTORY THEN TRY TO ODEX USING THIS METHOD. YOU WILL HAVE A BAD DAY. 0_o framework must me odexed before system apps
1. download the odex.zip here --> PURPLE
2. extract all files with a file explorer, i prefer root explorer or fx file explorer
3. place the extracted folder and all of it's contents in /data/local/tmp ... so you should have /data/local/tmp/odex/+(misc files in new odex directory)
4. give the new directory and ALL contents FULL permissions - full read, write, and execute perms. You will need to set them all individually. the odex folder, and all contents. your file explorer, if it has taken you this far, should be able to accomplish this. Also, mount your system as writeable as well!
5. download this app TERMINAL EMULATOR dont worry it is free. open the app
Type the following commands - each new line should be executed with the enter key:
su (hit enter, it will ask for root)
/data/local/tmp/odex/odex (hit enter, you will see
you will see a bunch of outputs. there will be a message when it is done (honestly, like 10 seconds if that) saying something like "enjoy your hybrid ROM"
type "reboot recovery" (without the quotes)
device will boot into recovery immediately after you hit enter...
wipe cache and dalvik cache once more each, and reboot your device. PROFIT :good:
*Disclaimer - I don't take donations, just hit the thanks button, and the thanks button for anybody I mention in my thread.

typing su in doesn't request root permission. I am definitely rooted, not sure what's going on.
EDIT: Got it, the su was working but I didn't realize that it might just change from $ to # instead of asking for permission. I also had to grant not just the directory, but all of the files in the odex folder full permission, which might have just been a reading comprehension error on my part. Worked flawlessly after that. On Infamous 2.2

your super user app is probably set by default to allow access. also, i will update the OP to be a little more clear about setting the perms on the directory AND it's contents.

No, you shouldn't, because this odexes /system/framework/* not /system/app/*.all
Also, please for the love of hot Asian women people... please read the directions carefully in the OP lol...
If you have used the odex me app... don't use this method... if you odex your system apps, THEN try to odex framework after, you will have issues.

Yes after you odex your framework you can odex system apps.
The main thing about odexing is your apps load faster and it frees up memory in your /data/ partition because you are removing a good chunk of dalvik cache.
Also does improve performance just a tick, by that I mean general UI responsiveness is improved.

Thanks!

DISCLAIMER – THIS WILL IMPROVE PERORMANCE (again…lolllll) AND FURTHER AND FARTHER OPTIMIZE YOUR DEVICE, SAVE STORAGE SPACE ON YOUR INTERNAL SD, AND PUT YOUR /SYSTEM/FRAMEWORK DIRECTORY AND ALL CONTENTS ON THE MOST POTENT ANABOLIC STERIODS KNOWN TO MAN. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF/WHEN YOU FINISH READING THIS THREAD YOUR DEVICE RUNS OFF WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND/WIFE/FAMILY/JOB BECAUSE IT IS NOW MORE “MANLEY” THAN YOU (see wut I did there…manley..rofl…).
####################################################################
Ok on to the serious part….
First, why odex? And what does it mean?
1.Odexing has the following benefits: Saves space in your /data directory, speeds up boot times SLIGHTLY, boosts loading of apps (in this case the apps that compose your framework), zip aligns framework and corresponding .odex files, reduced CPU cycles by optimizing framework.
2.So what is an “odex” file? Android applications similar to zip files. APK stands for “android package” and all of them contain java code, which is the second language in android aside from Linux. This code speaks to the device to execute operations that in turn speak to other system files, then ultimately the kernel, hardware, etc etc etc… we’ll not get into that. Java code is packed into a file within the APK called a “classes.dex” file and this file is parsed (copied) by the dalvik JVM and a cache of the processed classes.dex file is stored in the device’s /data/dalvik-cache directory.
An odex file is basically an already processed version of the classes.dex file that is “execution ready” for Dalvik. When xxxx application is “odexed”, the classes.dex is removed from the APK entirely and the information is converted to an odex file, and stored aside its owner APK (or in this case framework file). So rather than have two copies of the same file, and in different locations, you have one copy of that file, in the same location of the APK, all ready to go, and therefore making it more optimized for access by you – the user.
The benefits of doing this are tremendous! I have been doing this to all of my ROMs since I can remember. This process is detailed, but simple, just read carefully. I outlined the directions as simple and clear as I possibly could
On to the fun part>>>>>
FIRST, BEFORE YOU CONTINUE, BEAR IN MIND I DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A SCRIPT MADE TO UNDO THIS MOD, ONCE IT IS DONE, IT IS DONE! IT IS SAFE, HOWEVER, JUST FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY!
ALSO, MAKE SURE YOU ALREADY HAVE YOUR FAVORITE THEME INSTALLED! I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU APPLY THIS MOD THEN TRY TO FLASH XXXXX THEME AND GET CAUGHT IN A BOOT LOOP BECAUSE YOU COULDN’T DECIDE IF YOU WANTED GREEN OR BLUE BATTERY ICONS THEN CHANGED YOUR MIND ABOUT IT AFTER DOING THIS…..just don’t waste your time posting in this thread if you do that. But if you MUST bother such a story, here is your answer to the problem… “flash your ROM again, no need to wipe data, your device will boot now”############
Instructions:
1.Download Terminal emulator and FX file explorer and FX root add on from market.
2.Download the zip file at the end of this post named “odex.zip” to your device.
3.Open FX file explorer, find the odex.zip file, long press on it and select “open with” then select “Archive Extractor” then hit “extract here”
4.After it is done, you will then find a folder named “odex” in the same location of the downloaded “zip” version. Llong press on that folder and select copy
5.Navigate to the home screen of the FX file app, and select the red system logo (this is the one that allows you to explore as root.
6.Navigate to /data/local/tmp, when you get to tmp, select the icon at the top right corner of the app that says “clipboard” and paste the folder into /data/local/tmp
You should now have a folder there named “odex”
7.Long press on the folder, select “permissions” and check ALL of the 3 boxes for Read, Write, and Exec(ute)… if you have done this successfully the bottom left of that little popup window for setting permissions should say 0777, hit “ok” to commit the changes.
8.Now go into the odex folder, and inside of it repeat step 7 for ALL 5 files. They should all have FULL permissions.
9.After that is done, hit back until you are at the root directory, seeing “System (Root)” at the top of the FX file window with the red box with a # symbol inside of it. You’ll notice as well, the top right corner there is a yellow lock icon, inside a green box. We need that to be red, with an “unlocked” lock icon. Select it, and disregard built in FX file warning about how the world is going to end etc etc etc if you don’t know what you are doing – you know what you are doing, so no worries. If it is already red and “unlocked” then awesome, skip to step 10.
10.Scroll down a bit, and you will see “system” folder, this is your system directory. Go in there, and again make sure we are “red” and “unlocked” in the top right corner. You are a savage animal at this point, on a mission. Your device needs optimizing, disregard doomsday warnings about the T1000 enslaving the human race and how your brother will likely turn into a cylon if you unlock your /system directory (or make it read/writable… which is all this is doing)
NOW! The really fun part. You got your favorite theme? Sweet. Got your odex files all cocked and ready to rock? Check. Got your kids addicted to Teletubbies in case you mess up your ***t and you need like an hour to fix it?!?! Kidding… that won’t happen…
FIRST BEFORE YOU CONTINUE!!!!! PUT YOUR DEVICE INTO AIRPLANE MODE!!!!!!! You do not want to get a phone call or something while this script is executing. Interruptions will be rude and unkind… Please follow this instruction, please. For the love of the last terrible terminator movie.
11.Open terminal emulator, and type the following commands WITHOUT the quotes, hitting enter after each line:
“su” (if it asks for super user permission, grant it, obviously, if it doesn’t ask, you have already granted it)
“/data/local/tmp/odex/odex”
About 8.7 seconds later, it should be done, and you will see a little message saying “reboot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache one more time” at the very end.
12.Hold power button, select “reboot options” then “recovery” hit ok, boom. If you don’t have that neat little modification to your android.policy.jar file, then power off, and boot into recovery by holding the volume up, home, and power button. In that order, until you see something on your screen. If you are NOT RUNNING EXT2… meaning you are not running Malicious ROM and/or you have not used my ext2 modificaitons…. Then simply type “reboot recovery” in terminal emulator, hit enter, and skip all the previous crap in “12”… “but then y u no say that first admiral?” … “Don’t question me son, it is for the good of the nation and humanity, and noobs who would read “oh ok reboot recovery BOOM” then they corrupt a file somewhere because of an unclean shutdown and are back at step -1 of this entire instruction which is restoring their backup… if they were pansy enough to make a backup. The admiral is manley, he has no use for backups. But he also knows what to do in case he needs one and doesn’t have one, cadet.”
ALSO IMPORTANT!!!!! Before you wipe dalvik cache again from recovery… if you are running my ext2 modification for /system /data/ and /cache…. MAKE SURE YOU VERIFY “THE BOX” is checked in twrp settings… you know which one I am talking about at this point. lol. It is the “format with yadda yadda rm command”
Wipe dalvik cache from recovery once more, then reboot the device.
DONE! Your ROM is now odexed!

Tweaked is not odexed by default. You can find out if the ROM you are running is odexed or not by going to /system/framework with a file explorer. If you see a bunch of files in there with ".odex" tags on the tail end of them, then it is odexed.
If they are not there, then it is not odexed.

Non if the custom ROMs are odexed. It's more of a stock thing

Can we Odex our roms with XPosed framework mod installed? Or can we only Odex the apps and not system? Thanks a bunch for sharing.

you can odex any framework with this...
Not sure what you mean by the second part of your question, though. This is odexing your framework... which is found in /system ...?

For some reason it is thinking you are trying to execute a folder? And not a file?
Not cutting or flaming you in any way, but this is a user error. You typed the command properly, and everything looks like it SHOULD have executed. Go back to the step where you are moving the odex folder to the /data/local/tmp directory, make sure you did everything correctly, and retry.

i made sure of it, i extracted the folder to the tmp folder and changed the odex folder 1 and 2 to 777 and all the files inside the 2nd odex folder and had both the root of the system and folder unlocked with the red icon. im not sure what could else be missing. im on tweaked 2.4.1 btw

Why do you have two odex folders?

With XPosed installed it can modify the framework, I'm afraid if I odex the framework, the xposed add on will crash my system. There is also an application on XDA called "Odex Me" which only Odex's the Applications and not the framework, that's what I was talking about in my second part of the question. I suppose I can do a backup and give it a go and see what xposed does.
Also Xposed also does other system mods other than framework. So it may only disable the framework modding portions after I odex the framewok.

For some reason when I extracted it, that's the way it came.. So it's basically just like the line says /data/local/tmp/odex/odex
EDIT: just removed one of the odex folders from within the odex folder and transfered the files to the first folder and everything worked from that point on..

You'll be fine.
Go ahead and do it. Just make a backup of your /system if you wanna be safe, that's what they are there for

The DL link isn't working
Edit: Got it downloaded and working thanks for the odex man.
P.S What can be modified without messing up the odex for example will xposed framework modules cause the rom and odex to have complications. Thanks in advance

It may or may not. Honestly, either way it will require a little bit of work on your part after you flash it (assuming it actually boots, but it should...)
Just, best thing to do, like I said in the OP... Is flash your themes first, then odex. It will save you from the extra headaches and work trying to do the process in reverse.

I've odex'd and it seems fine with xposed, after reading info on xposed they say it works on deox and odex roms, and it's running smooth. For some reason the screen appears brighter and sharper, probably some mod is not working but either way it is smooth and placebo maybe but looks great. Thanks again. I've done this in the past, but never to the system, just apps.
