Guest inamak Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hi - How do i use this? Complete noob - have rooted my phone using r5. Tried adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/ but get failed notice. Tried adb install and also fails. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mike_freegan Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Also a complete Noob here. Eventually managed to root my desire (had to use the R5 method on XDA Dev as the R6 here refused to work. I have the Contacts.apk from this thread. Could someone explain how to 'push it' to the device? I'd really appreciate it. I've been reading this guide, but I don't know how to get to the 'recovery screen with green menu' without re-rooting the whole thing, which I don't really want to do. Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rexx Calibur Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Tried to install this using ADB and got the error message: Failed to copy 'contacts.apk' to '/system/app/contacts.apk': Read-only file system. Any idea what the problem might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarrenMowat Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 You can't push files too the phones system partition when its booted normally because its read only. If you reboot into recovery, then run adb shell mount /system then you can push the file over with adb push contacts.apk /system/app/contacts.apk hope this helps :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rexx Calibur Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Thanks. Tried that. It seems happier, but when I boot my phone it doesn't appear to be there. When pushing the file, I get "1459 KB/s (0 bytes in 700451.00s)" But nothing appears to happen. What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarrenMowat Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 0 bytes in 700451.00sIt sounds like the /system partition isn't mounted. Are you using the recovery from ROM Manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rexx Calibur Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Indeed I am...This post seems to suggest that it isn't possible... http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desi...-amd-messaging/ But some people in this thread say they've already done it. How would I mount the system partition then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarrenMowat Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Yeah, it might not work, it all depends on whats been altered in the rom your using. How would I mount the system partition then? Reboot into recovery, go to the partition menu, then click mount /system. Then try and push the file over :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mmorselli Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 adb hates me... I allways prefer to flash zip from Rom Manager Here are standard contacts, that seem to works on my MCR R4 http://www.MegaShare.com/2340030 I use this to create zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717437 very easy to use...

Guest tonemgub Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I can push the Contacts.apk to the /system/app folder but it doesn't actually install... adb install Contacts.apk gives me, /sbin/sh: pm: not found Also tried installing the zip file through recovery but I have the same problem. It shows up in /system/app but isn't actually installed. I'm running the stock 2.1 ROM rooted using unrEVOked. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
