[Q] Problem with Flash Player 10.1 installation

Hello,
I have installed the Froyo official rooted update from nickiberli and I have deleted a lot of APK that I don't need to make the ROM lighter. I have deleted the install_flash_player.apk and install_flash_player.odex and after three hours of configuration of my phone I realized that I can't redownload Flash Player 10.1 form the Market... I have tried to put the install_flash_player.apk in the SD Card and install with ES File Explorer but it say that it can't install the APK. Is there a way to reinstall the APK (with an ADB command?) to make FlashPlayer works correctly without reflashing the ROM with the the two APK and loosing three hours of reconfiguration?
Thanks in advance to the one that can help me

try: adb install -r APKname
otherwise you might be stuck with having to reflash.
oh, and make sure you place the apks in the tools dir

Thanks you but it didn't help, say "Installation Failed" too.
But I have put back the install_flash_player.apk and install_flash_player.odex back in system/app with the command "adb push" in Recovery Mod, restarted the phone and now everything works correctly again.

yeah you cant install an odexed .apk, you either need the deodexed version or just push it using adb like you did lol

You obviously ask a question... so please ask the question in the Q&A section, not in the dev section.

DSP Manager: how to?

In several places in the forums I see DSP manager mentioned as a way to change the sound output from the phone.
It is possible to use the .apk file or flash the .zip file to a stock firmware that is rooted (no other changes), or does it have to be applied to a custom rom?
Ta.

Here you go...

Flash as you would a ROM

Hmm, I flashed it and the settings appeared, but they seem to make no difference to the sound output!

Trying via headphones? As I doubt you'd notice from the internal speaker
Other than that I can't help, have no issues personally

Yep, trying via headphones. Seems to make no difference at all. I am running a stock rooted HTC Rom.

Hi, I flashed the DSP from recovery and rebooted. Installation was successful but I can't find the app anywhere in my phone? where do I see it?

For anyone else having this problem:
I didn't find the app I installed so I searched the net for other installation files, and found this:
h ttp://androidforums.com/1446319-post107.html
after I flashed this and rebooted, I got a 'force close' notification for the app. Than I went to /system/app/DSPManager.apk and installed it.
DSP Manager now working great ^^

I did as u said but it gives me a force close and when i try to install it i cant cause its already installed, cant uninstall it either, what should i do ? BTW I'm using AuraxTSense v7.4

did you install the one in the second post as well?
I'm using AuraxTSense 7.0

Yes, first I installed that one, it didn't work, then I installed the other. Is that the problem ? I thought so... so how should I fix it ?

good question..I'm not sure.. try installing the first again

Ok I did it, it removed the app from the app list. What now ? If I try installing it from /system/app it gives an error.

I don't know.. i just rebooted my device and it gave me the force close again. so I did what I did the previous time and ran that app from the location I wrote.. worked like a charm.. again..

I installed the other zip again, gave me a force close so went to system/app and tried to install it but I can't, only have the options uninstall and launch... No idea why is it working for you and not for me...
EDIT: Ok it works now, had to remove first the odex file and install the other zip again

Update DSP Manager
You can remove the DSPManager.apk file using the terminal emulator.
NOTE: You need to have a rooted phone, Superuser & Terminal emulator.
STEPS
1. Change to root user it is granted super-user permissions.
su -​2. Then change to the system app directory.
cd /system/app​3. Then move the DSPManager.apk to the tmp directory.
mv DSPManager.apk /tmp​4. Move the new apk file to the system app directory.
NOTE: Change to the directory where the DSPManager_1.0.apk is.
cp DSPManager_1.0.apk /system/app​5. Reboot the phone.
6. Check in the apps list and the new DSP Manager should be in there.
NOTE: If it all worked you can remove the DSPManager.apk from /tmp
rm /tmp/DSPManager.apk​
Attached is the version I use on my rooted HTC Desire.

In order to work, DSP Manager also needs a file called libaudioflinger.so in the /system/lib directory in addition to the apk.
The easy way to get this done is to use an update zip for DSP Manager. Get it from one of these links (all links from this page):

I don't think you can install the zip from Astro Explorer because it needs to copy files to the /system partition which is read-only when the phone is booted up. In other words, you must have a rooted phone to do this.
If you do have a rooted phone, then reboot into recovery mode and install the update.zip the usual way.
If you don't have a rooted phone, well that's a whole different story.

i , please help me.
I've installed it via recovery and I made backup with my original needly files: libaudioflinger and libaudio. Then i copied my files back (deleted new files and moved old files) . I restarted my phone and it didn't boot. Just show me the White window (T-mobile)... Can i repair my phone by myself? Please help me and sorry for my english.

I'm sorry I don't really understand the problem. Normally, installing the update.zip should be all that you need to do. I don't understand why you copied the old files back and were those two files the only files that you backed up?

[Help Required] will not boot

Hey guys,
I have done something stupid.
The phone.
GSM Galaxy Nexus - Android 4.0.2 (ICL53F)
Rooted. otherwise stock.
Current status - will not boot android. Will load fastboot/recovery
I was trying to change the bootanimation.
Could not do it with adb push.
So i tried by copying the .zip file to the phone.
Opened up file File expert (unsure how many use this) clicked on "internal Memory" and tried to mount for read/write.
Copied bootanimation.zip from sd card to /system/media would not paste.
Tried again. Did not paste but it did delete the stock bootanimation.zip file.
Unsure what i clicked but when i tried to open /system/media it try to "execute" it, stated that it could not find a program to do so.
Closed program.
Phone started to come up with differnt apps stating that they have stopped working.
turned off phone, reboot.
Will not load boot animation, just loads to recovery!
I think I will have to flash the stock rom to solve this.
Any help would be great.

If this was my phone I'd find a nice rom, stock or not, and install it. I'd follow the dev's installation instructions to a "T".
You could also go this way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399210
Good luck.

Phone wont boot if SystemUI.apk changed

Hello.
Since this is the first phone I actually trying learn and modify myself I have no experience with possible side effects and such, however what I've read somewhere else, SystemUI.apk as well as framework-res.apk should NOT cause boot loops or no boot at all.
On Nitro however it does both: first it boot loops then after battery pull it doesn't boot at all, hanging at second LG logo.
Then booting into CWM and replacing SystemUI.apk with the original one does not bring phone back to life, in fact restoring whole system partition doesn't do a damn thing. Only restoring full backup brings it back.
So the question is, what the __ is wrong with this phone?
P.S.
I've tried replacing files with Root Explorer as well with adb push. After any .apk files replaced I do chmod 644 and also chown root.root to make sure.

[email protected], I replaced both those files, if im not mistaken, when I applied the percentage battery mod and no carrier mod, but i never went into boot loops or soft brick. What, if i may ask, were you attempting to do replacing those two files?

Ok, here is my observations so far:
It can boot loop if used any android based software to copy files (Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, etc), unless you somehow manage properly chmod and chown the replaced file, otherwise you'll end up with ridiculous ---rw-r-- permissions (0064 - owner can't read write or execute).
In my tests it's pretty much impossible change chmod on replaced SystemUI.apk because of FC on everything.
Next, when something went wrong and SystemUI.apk that was replaced via adb push didn't work resulting in boot animation loop, it can get to the point, that even restoring unmodified file won't bring the system back. Something happening during that loop that destroys/corrupts other stuff in the data partition. When that happens even restoring system partition doesn't work, only restore data or factory reset can help.
As of what I'm doing with SystemUI.apk, I'm trying figure out why the space in the taskbar where clock is, is not dynamic, when you change to 24H mode it wastes so much space. I already tried use the same data from SU640 rom, it didn't change a thing.
And also trying get the CRT ON effect, which will be a beautiful with already implemented CRT OFF

LOL! Now I remember you were the one so anal about that extra space by the clock when you convert to 24h setup haha.
Also, what do you mean get the CRT ON effect? I dont understand what that is

Okay, maybe I'm missing something, but I've been replacing framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk more than once a day on average every day, and have never had a problem while using root explorer with any bootloops/not booting, etc. You should not have any problems at all changing SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk as long as you are properly changing their permissions after you have put them in /system/ but BEFORE you have put them in /system/app and /system/framework, respectively. If you are trying to change permissions "after the file has been replaced" that's too late. It's probably corrupt. Must be changed before.

You can't change permissions on the file that is not there yet.
The bootloops I'm experiencing is when for example I decompile SystemUI.apk, don't change anything and recompile it back. It worked before but not anymore, and I yet to figure out why. Using apktool v1.4.3
All I could think of is this started happening after I attempted install xUltimate-v2.3.3 to deodex files. It's probably just coincidence though...cause I also tried do recompilling on fresh virtual windows on just unbricked phone files.
It's weird.

You put the file in /system/ so it IS there. Then you change the permissions. Now that the file has correct permissions, you put it in /system/app or /system/framework and let it overwrite the original, so the INSTANT it replaces the original one it already has the correct permissions. You HAVE to put it into /system/, otherwise you can't change to those permissions, but you need to do it before you overwrite the originals.

Nice, I never thought of that. Thanks!

[email protected], I made the same mistake but with the framework-res.apk and now my phone is stuck in a bootloop. Were you able to fix the permissions for the file? Or did you have to do a factory reset?
Thanks

Yes, but I had original file at the same directory just renamed and also I had to re-do root while it was boot looping, sometimes I had to repeat the root process 50 times before it succeeded, like killing half a day.

Edit settings.db and replace into file system, please important !

Hello guys
I need your help, i'm working on a mod and a friend said me to modify the file: settings.db located in data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
I only have to change "1" to "0" in the "secure" tab
for this I used Sql Lite browser for windows 7.
So i did it and saved the database, and then with root explorer replaced with the original settings.db but ....
I entered in a boot loop, why ?
I know for sure the "0" is a secure value, because used in a stock old rom
Why bootloop so? Have I to changed permissions to file?
Can please help me to do it without a new bootloop?
Thanks
