ok, i've looked around this forum and google and nothing seems to be working that i am finding.
i am trying to install swype (not beta) to cm6 and the apk i found is zipped but cant be flashed in recovery, pushed via adb, or installed via terminal emulator. i keep getting a read only error
from what little i could find I tried pushing some files (sysrw and sysro) that were suppose to make it read-write but got the same error (read only)! i may have failed because the security is suppose to be off according to the post, but there was zero hint to go about doing that (again, search revealed nothing).
i just want the swype my phone came with :'( lol
Just download one of the swype apk from here and install with astro

i didnt even bother to try that but just did now and it doesnt give the option to install. probably cuz its zipped (and there isnt an actual apk). it will install other apps from my sdcard though
Check your zip file. Open it with an unzip program. Find out if it's meant to be a flashable zip file, a re-named apk file, or an apk file stored within a zip container.
When you get down to it, an apk file is really just a zip file with an apk extension. Yours could be any of the above.

i assumed it was flashable, but looking into it, i found out its not (obviously lol). the zip contains multiple files and folders, btw.
if it helps, i got it from r0man and his teamfenix rom here

If it has the normal apk files in it (res, drawable, android manifest, etc.) just change the extension to apk and install it.
There is got to be someone that knows how to make the system read-write

The only way to make system read/write is through clockwork recovery. Partitions, mount system, boom. You now have read/write access to /system through adb.
UNTESTED ONLY TRY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING UNTIL SOMEONE CONFIRMS WORKING. You should know how to recover phone.. all I did is switched png files for you..I left all xml files untouched... In thanks for the system dump.. Made a theme for you guys to try out... Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do to your phone or sdcard. Must have root. Use root explorer or super manager to replace file. Make backup of original first... You should sign file and set correct permissions.. Again do not try,unless you know what you are doing or know how to recover phone

Do we need to change permissions after transfering the file? Im currently bootlooping after using root explorer to swap the file in. Bout to restore the backup.
Should clear cache..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Crap. Now the phone wont boot up enough to let me have Su access and thus being able to restore the old framework file. Hmm. Any idea of how to get control enough to do so?
ADB push it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
It wont boot up enough to allow su access. Thus cant push to /system/framework/
Can you clear data and cache in stock recovery menu

As I understand it, the recovery is not user accesible. Ive tried various key combos but cant get to rec.
for the thrill it is volume down and power
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ive double checked. No user accesible recovery. Power + vol down is facotry reset.
When boot screen rethink impossible comes up press menu/search button to go into safe mode
Something might be in there t I help

Tried that already actually. Just keeps bootlooping.
Tried a factory reset just now too. Same thing. Crap.
What about lg mobile support factory reset... When you replace files you should use signapktik to,sign apk and also before replacing... check old file for permissions and then set new files with same permissions. Only thing changed in res.apk is around 40 png files. Left the core alone. Usually have to wipe cache also. Supermanager apk in market has wipe cache option

Trying that app but the lgp930 is not listed in the recoverable section.
I don't know then bro... That's why I put untested... To scare people away that haven't done these things a lot since you guys don't have cwm mod yet.... ive edited and made tons of frameworks....so I kinda know what to do and not to do. Whenever messing with any jar folder files.. Everything needs to be put perfect and even then it can cause problems... You shouldn't have problems swapping them out at at&t since your factory reset should have took away root

luckily att is nice enought to give me an replacement!
update: and this is also why LG got such a bad rep!
when you use LG software updater, it said "you already have latest software, so you dont need to update" and said "this model is not for S/W update"
i used to have sony x10, i can reflash the phone EVEN i using the current/latest software!

You can usually use the software you mentioned to recover a phone too, but the nitro isnt supported yet. erg.
Unrelated to the epic...I rooted my sisters phone while she was visiting over the weekend. She had to leave before I could flash CM7 on her phone so I'm doing it remotely right now. Her phone is old and has no support really so I'm asking here. When I try to boot in CWM it won't. I have figured out why but cannot fix it remotely. Is there a way to get gapps installed without going through CWM? Like download the .apk files individually and install them so she can at least log into her google account until I can fix it?

I think maybe you could download the gapps zip, extract it somewhere, and copy the apk files into the /system/app folder on the root of the phone. You'd have to use a file manager on the phone with root access, I recommend ES File Explorer, if you use this one then you have to tic a couple settings: Up to Root, Root Explorer, and Mount File System. After you copy the files into the system/app folder (ON THE PHONE, NOT ON THE SD CARD) then reboot the phone and should hypothetically be working.
Without having gapps, she will need to install amazon app store to get es file explorer, unless you want to track down the apk for it for her. As long as her browser is working she should be able to download the amazon app store without any trouble.
Thank you! Will give it a try.

Hm it keeps saying copy failed which sounds like there is no root but there is and things can be deleted. Anyone good with adb know if it can be flashed that way?

Weird. It installed googleservicesframework but nothing else. I still can't write anything to the root but I can delete. Its like I have half a rooted device. But I get an "install parse failed no certificates error" when I try anything else.

Hi guys, i am new to xda. I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S II with stock jelly bean 4.1.2 (***LSW firmware version). I accidentally deleted my settings application (i converted it to user app by using rom toolbox and it disappeared). I have no backups so i was looking for someone who could extract a new "Settings.apk" compatible with my device and firmware version so that i could reinstall it. Thanks in advance to everyone!

have you look into your root folder then data/app to find setting.apk, or use titanium backup to convert back to system app
Yes, as i said in the first post i have no backup and the system/app folder doesn't contain any settings.apk. It disappeared completely. I also looked for it on the web but no one seems to have uploaded it online. This is the reason why I have posted here.
Please can anybody help me? I can't believe no one has got this phone here on xda..

If nobody can help you. Try it yourself. Download the firmware and find a way to extract the files. (can be done, cuz the phone can too)
Hi, I have linked the SecSettings.apk from stock 4.1.2 xxlsw.

Thank you very much! But i'm not missing "SecSettings.apk" i miss "Settings.apk". Don't you have one in your root folder?
There is no Settings.apk in any folders. Is your ROM definitely Stock Samsung 4.1.2?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I looked for SecSettings in my folder and i think i confused it with SecSettingsprovider..so maybe the settings app is just called secsettings (unlike many other phones) i'll try to install your apk!
I downloaded your application and it seems to be what I was looking for! But I can't install it in way! How do I install it?
Use a root explorer and copy it to /System/app and set permissions in the usual manner
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I moved the apk to system/app and set the permissions, then rebooted, but it seems that it doesn't work. I tried in many ways. I installed it from rom toolbox, from root explorer, from "system app installer", but despite every operation and installation gives me a succes message as response, nothing happens. There is the file in system app, but every attempt to open the settings fails with a force close and there is no icon in my app drawer.
Do you have the secsettings.odex in your /system/app?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No I don't have any SecSettings.odex, I only have apk, even after the reboot.
Copy both the SecSettings.apk from the previous link and the SecSettings.odex from this link, set permissions and reboot again.

It didn't work. I used every combination on this world for the permissions before rebooting (including rw-r--r-- and also rwxrwxrwx) but nothing happens, the app doesn't result to be installed. (I attached a screenshot of my file manager showing that the files actually are in the root folder)
Hmm.. I'm stumped then. I can only suggest you reflash your firmware

I just read on google news that a new update is starting to roll out for the s2..do you think updating will solve the problem? Either by using OTA (if it still works without settings) or kies..
Could some one point me to a stock zvc KitKat rom. I'm completely stock and rooted right now on zvc but when I changed my DPI it somehow made my quick remote stop working and my stock keyboard. Both kept force closing. I tried replacing both in system and apps and changing permissions and flashing the remote flashable zip. I figured if someone had a flash able zip I could just flash without downgrading and doing a lot of unnecessary steps to fix things. I don't see any custom or stock lg ROMs for this phone.

There isn't one, only the OTA for now.
use the tot file in the general section then root again
Just use another kb for the time being. You can use App Settings in Xposed and change the dpi on those two apps back to stock 480 settings.

Make sure build.prop is how it was before you edited, otherwise the original dll for Tot flashing fails, well you can use the one labeled "use if having problems" as it works either way with that dll.
Thanks guys back up and running fine. That program remind me of Odin easy to use.
