Hi all
? I try to push a apk back to the phone and it comes up with error Failed to push Calculator.apk on 0403625E14019014: Read-only file system.
How do I fix this to make it a read and right
I have no Idea how to do this and just to let you all know I have read all 33 pages in this thread and all is good learned a lot but I guess just not enough yet lol..
Any help is welcome

Just so all now I pulled the calculator apk off of the stock frg22 that I downloaded form Peter, the man that makes Bugless Beast.

commands in abd.....
adb root
adb remount
adb push ...........apk /system/app

I will give it a try I was using Eclips to pull and push files it pulls them just fine but it will not push them back. I am no good with the ADB at all.

This would be my best bet but I do not know how to make it a update.zip.
I did read in this thread about doing it, and I do have the file from this thread as well but I don't know what to do with it. Like where to put the apk and if there is anything else I would need to do with it.

Are you trying to push with the phone on or in recovery? If you are leaving it on then you can use root explorer and go into your system and select rw at the top to make it read write. If your in recovery you could try adb shell, su, sysrw to get it read write or adb shell, su, mountsys. really depends on the rom you are running and their code for mounting system read write. or go into mount options and just mount system prolly a little quicker.

has anyone been able to change the colors for the multi touch keyboard thats been ported to the droid from the droid 2. the method used to change the keyboard color works for the android keyboard but when i switch to the multi touch keyboard the keys are black

More then likely it is cause it is like a third party app (like swype). Do you have a new .apk since putting the new keyboard on your system?

Yeah, I'm definitely having the same problem with FC's. The only file I was able to theme was the styles.xml background. But once I try to theme the text in the header's, etc. I get a ton of FC's. Very, very annoying.

Are you guys typing in the hex numbers or point them to colors.xml?

I haven't tried it, but it may make the difference.

I've tried it both wayways with the same results.

Is it a signing issue? Could be something in there that doesnt match when the new apps are installed or uninstalled. If its expecting original keys and it it got signed with test keys...
Maybe compile it like you have been then just inject the new compiled .xmls into the stock/working vending.apk and see if it acts any different

it replaces the android keyboard, i rename the apk to LatinimeGoogle.apk

No it's not a signing issue, otherwise you would be able to open the app. Refer to this post about theming Vending.apk.

This may be semantical, but caps makes a difference.

Then a xml that should point to the keyboard setting in framework got changed. If you would like post the .apk and I will help you look for it.

Edit: Ah yes as kookahdoo said, you may want to make it LatinImeGoogle.apk or whatever you orginal was.

hey sneak its in input.xml

edit:

android:keyTextColor="#ff000000"

this is what it has if you want it to be directed to the color in framework do this.

android:keyTextColor="@android:style/Widget.KeyboardView"
