Question: Is it true that on stock kernel for Arc, any modification make to Vendor folder will be denied? I try to install some apps with cwm, only the apps that has modification to vendor folder wont work. info: i used file manager to access that folder, it can be open, but the files within cant be edited, not even paste a new file or replace any files.

As far as I know, indeed. At least not through CWM, you might be able to edit via ES File Explorer(used myself), make sure to make /system writeable.

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
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
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

I'm pretty familiar with linux but these phones are a whole new world to me.
I am at lost on how to put the crt tv animation for when i turn my phone off into sleep mode
Flash the file in this thread with CWM.
If you don't have cwm or want to do it manually extract the libsurfaceflinger.so from the zip (its in the system/lib folder).
Using a root explorer, copy this file to system on your phone, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and then move this file to system/lib, replacing the original file when asked. It may be a good idea to copy the original file as a backup before trying any of this.

i did this to my r800x which is 2.3.3, and its in a boot loop now. Is there a different version for 2.3.3? Or should that one work for every version?
I'm not sure, but i think it may not work on lower than 2.3.4. Also no idea about r800x support. Try posting on that thread itself, you may get more replies than here.
Can someone please upload a stock libsurfaceflinger.so file from their 2.3.3 phone?
I accidentally deleted xbin folder in galaxy grand. I would
happy if any of you guys could share ....Thanks in advance

Thanks. but i am not able to create a new folder in root explorer>system. When I tried it says your phone does not appear to be rooted. This found when I delete xbin.

This happened, because xbin is the folder is where the su binaries are installed.
If you delete that folder you automatically lose access to root.
I understand. But how to restore xbin folder.....:crying:

Ateekujjawal is right, the root permission files are stored in xbin folder along with other system files.
I can think of two options to restore it:
1. open the flashable zip of the ROM you are on, extract the xbin folder. then use aroma file manager through your recovery to paste the xbin folder in /system. And then flash the UPDATESuperSU.zip to restore root access.
2. Backup your data, and re-flash your ROM
Thanks a lot. Ist working for me . Now I have supper users permission again.
:laugh:

in aroma file manager the xbin file which i extracted is not there. there are other files not available as well, like the bluetooth folder for example

Then go for backup and dirty flash the ROM. Flash UPDATE-SuperSU if needed.

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

Hello all, could somebody tell me what I need to do to make the stock ROM use bootanimation.zip instead of start.mp4.
Thanks

With your file manager have a look at following directory "root/system/media/.." which must normally contain both files.
Rename start.mp4 in something like start.xxx (the system will not recognize the extension xxx).
At the next boot the system will use bootanimation.zip.
You may also move start.mp4 to one of your personal folders or delete it after having made a save copy..
Friendly.
Is it really as easy as that?. Does the stock ROM recognise bootanimation.zip ?

What do You mind by "not working".
In order to change the bootanimation on your P2, this one must be rooted.
Is that the case ?
If "NOT", You must first root your P2 according instructions which are to be found on this XDA forum or another forum.
If "YES" , You are able to act as I said in my post #2.
I'm personally using Solid file manager explorer and it gives me access to the root directory.
I used this app on my rooted P2 to suppress the 3 files of the original boot and install a bootanimation.zip of my choice.
