Help renaming system files - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey first post and maybe a noob question but I have a rooted international m8 on o2.
I'm trying to rename the htclockscreen.apk in the system/priv-apps as I've seen doing this enables the stock aosp lock screen. Every time I do it superuser access is given but upon a reboot or refresh the filename is back to the original. The same happened when trying to rename the boot animation files.
Ive tried both root explorer and es. Anyone any ideas?

You have to mount /system as writable before you make any changes.
I believe in ES it's somewhere under Tools.

Thanks for the quick reply, just had a look under tools and can't see any option for that.

I think you turn Root Explorer on...
It's less than intuitive in es (which I don't use), but each good file manager has an option to mount system rw.

Thanks I found that, although that was already on and upon rename it says successful but it keeps just changing back. Same with root browser. Both get granted superuser.
Edit: I think this might b because I'm still S-On?

If you were S-OFF I would have suggested this thread where they give the commands to mount the /system partition but it was also mentioned later on in that thread that it "resets" after every reboot so...
Else you can probably check if this Kernel Module works for you.

I've just 'S-Off'd my device and it has solved the problem
Thanks for your help guys

Cool, Congrats and I'm glad to "hear" then :good:
Since your S-OFF you can probably look into this thread as well to get rid of that pesky "Tampered" banner in bootloader.
The fun things we can do... :good:

Keeps downloading image even when already downloaded

My girlfriend has downloaded an image from internet by long pressing the image and then selecting "save image" on her Wildfire S with stock Android 2.3.3.
The problem is that the phone keeps downloading this image over and over again even when it is already downloaded. It tries to download the image about every sync action for over a week already.
Before i just delete the whole history i thought maybe someone here knows the answer to this problem, so she can avoid it in the future.
Many thanks for your help!
Hi, I have similar problem, but with applications. Sometimes phone starts downloading already installed app. Even if I set all apps to manual update only.
This behavior is really killing my data plan limit!
My friend with the same phone has this problem too.
Anyone have similar problem or solution to fix it?
The same with me. Does anybody know how to fix it?
Same here. Must be something specific to the wildfire S
I've got the same issue. I guess it'll go away once I can flash a CyanogenMod or MIUI ROM
Works for me alright

It's worth completely removing the offending application and then reinstalling it. I had the download issue with 'LED Light'. Removed it and reinstalled it and problem resolved.
I now have the same issue with another appl - will try the same solutoin
It seems to happen when you do an update which is interrupted partway
We ported this rom on the Aria and had the same issue. I replaced the DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUI.apk with the ones in CM7 and it now works fine.
Can you offer this for us?

Here are the apps. You need to delete them from your current rom and replace them for these.
How do I delete them without root access? My Wildfire S is not and can not be rooted at the moment

I assumed the Wildfire S was "rootable". That's a very goo question. You can try something but I have absolutely no guaranties it is going to work because I personally never tried it. Either way, it's your call.
**Make sure you back-up your phone to the Google Server because this will wipe all the data in your phone.**
1- Run the RUU for your phone. This will extract the rom to the temp folder of your computer. For me it's under C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\. An easy way to find it is to clear that folder prior to running the RUU. This way, it should be the only thing in there.
2- Enter the folder and look for a zip file called rom.zip
3- Open the zip file using 7-zip or Winzip. DO NO EXTRACT THE FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER TO REPACKAGE AFTER. THIS WILL SCREW UP THE ROM. You really want to make any addition or subtraction from the archiving utility.
4- Extract the system.img file. Now the challenge is to find a way to edit the content of that file. I personally have no idea how to but I'm sure there must be some tools to do that.
5- Once you've managed to open the .img file, under system/app, there should be DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUI.apk. Delete those and replace them with the ones I sent in my previous post.
6- Close the .img file.
7- From 7-zip, delete the system.img file and replace it with the one you edited.
8- Close 7-zip and follow the rest of the instructions from the RUU.
Again, no idea if any of this will work because I've never been in the situation to make changes on an unrooted phone. Your biggest challenge is step 4. If you cannot get in that .img file, then I guess you'll have to wait to get root access to your phone. My guess is that it shouldn't be too long since HTC agreed to unlock the HBoot.
Good Luck!
And is it possible to change this files in a "running" ROM Image (rooted, without flashing)?

I think so. Like I said, I never tried it so it's all speculation here. How about you try to install the apk on top of the ones you currently have, i.e. without deleting them? You do have the ablility to install from Unknown Sources correct?

Yes i have. But I'm new to Android, so I want to be careful.
I replaced both in system\app folder (without installing) and after that my market doesn't work anymore.
So I had to flash my ROM cause the Backup files didn't work too.
Was a lot of work, making all new (but at least Titanium Backup works ).
Maybe somebody other knows more?

I am a bit confused here. What do you mean by you replaced in system/app without installing? Also,you said you used Titanium Backup. I thought this app only worked on rooted phone
Unfortunately, I cannot be of much help because I really have an Aria with a ported rom from Wildfire S. I personally fixed the download issue by deleting and reinstalling these apps, but in reality, I have no idea if that would work on the actual Wildfire S. Sorry that I cannot be of any help.
My phone is rooted.
I mean I changed the apk files in folder system/app with those from you (using Root Explorer). Before I deleted them I made a backup of the original ones.

Ok, so try this then. Delete the apk and don't replace them. Flash the Rom and boot the phone. Then install the apk from ur original Rom, i.e. not the ones I provided, but the ones u originally deleted.

I already flashed my Phone with original ROM and it works again, but the bug is again there.
The point is, I dont want to flash my ROM every week so I hoped there is a solution to change without flashing again.
Otherwise I will wait, my there will be a fix from HTC.
But I wanna say thank you, for your help and your patience with me!

I'm with you on the flashing. I'm not sure HTC will release a fix for this though. However, what u can do is return ur phone and get another one. It seems not everybody has this issue. I'm personally glad I could resolve it on my phone.
Good luck!

[Fix]Unknown error code during application install: "-24"

I don't know the cause. I have noticed that it has happened on different devices, there have been assumptions if it's because of a specific kernel or rom, although it may be, I beg to differ. I feel it is happening during the Android Upgrading Apps # of # process.
I noticed that this error pops up on most of the apps that I had installed, but are not there after my update. So far with me, it happened only to my paid apps, but not all of them.
When the app disappears, android thinks it's missing, but some files think it is still installed.
Regularly when you install an app over itself, there is a notice telling you that the application info will remain. That's where the problem lies once an app mysteriously disappears. Because part of it is still installed.
Go to
/data/data/
and search for your
com.application-address.whatever-it-may-be
Some of them you can tell what they are just by the names, the others, google-em.
If you wish to keep the information that it contains for the app, I recommend making a copy of it first.:good:
Delete it
Install the application, it'll work, trust me. :fingers-crossed:
Now replace it with your copy.
Done.
Stop factoring resetting if you don't want to. Of course, if you have a lot missing, it might be better. :crying:
If someone can automate this process by making something check the com.address to installed apps, that would be awesome. :highfive:
This totally worked. Thanks bro!
I was setting up my Nexus 4, and this was Tune In Radio Pro was the last app and wouldn't install, I kept getting that stupid -24 error.
Saved me from doing a factory reset!
Works!

I'm also stuck. I was able to go to sdcard/data, but there is no second /data folder.
I have this issue with Swiftkey and there is no 'data/data/' folder, checked both root and sdcard and hidden files are shown ...
Edit: Configured ES File Explorer to mount partition as writable and gave root access -> files were there now and deleting the one with Swiftkey solved my problem.
Thx
Working!
Thanx, it worked for me too!

You need to use something like ES File Browser with Root access to get to /Data/Data
I'm running into this issue with a bunch of apps that got lost when flashing a newer CM10.1 nightly. I can't access those folders in data/data since ES File Manager is one of the apps that gets this error!
Is there any other way to fix this? I can't install anything, not even Chrome :crying:
It's worked for me, too!
Someone maybe didn't understand the meaning of the thread creater. You must have the root access. Then, open Root Explore and go to "data/data" NOT "sdcard/data/data"

In case it might help someone else I thought I'd pass along what I just did to fix the problem. I booted into recovery and found the com.speed.... file for root explorer that way and deleted it and then rebooted. I then was able to load and install root explorer from the play store and now I can sit back and delete all the rest of the apps that won't install correctly...
I guess I could have done it from recovery also but I forgot to write them all down before I rebooted!

[Q] Phone rebooting upon /system modifications?

I am brand new to android and recently rooted my M8. I was trying to change the /system/customize/acc/default.xml to hide the NFC icon and when I attempted to save the file the phone rebooted and later asked if I wanted to send HTC an error report.
I have tried this with several file managers which all have root priveleges. It seems as though this happens when trying to modify anything in /system. Am I missing something obvious?

I did the mod that exists currently and while it makes the icon transparent it still takes up space on the status bar. I was trying to set the nfc_show_icon setting to zero. Nothing is screwed up I just can't change the file.
yea i tried to install xposed and it did the same thing, at least i didn't have to restore my backup, but curious that the phone reboots and restores when system is modified...
the m8 has system write protection, wait for an insecure kernel/module to be made or use custom recovery and adb to make changes within /system

[Q] Any root for 8.9" new firmware version (8.4.9)???

Hey all! Any help please?
I've tried ALL methods to gain root and as someone mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782266 , no success.
I can get to the reboot after the supposed root, but basically nothing else. No superuser, root-check fails, etc and then the device is permanently slow. Only solution is then a factory reset and back to square one, without any root.
Anyone have any success in rooting the new system version, http://bit.ly/1kgs5L8 8.4.9 ?? I had root in the past but the buggers pushed this one on me and I lost everything, even side-loaded apps (and while we're at it, can I disable these effing updates in the future?)

Ok, back again.
So, my situation is now this: The root worked, by appearance but somehow, it only seems to be a "partial root", for lack of a better description.
I have SU and Rootcheck Basic installed and it says that I have root, but I can't get the play store to work no matter what, and can't change permissions on the /system/apps folder or write to there when trying to copy the Google Play apk there (attempting to see if I can run or install it there).

I don't recall the exact steps, but if you follow link for the method that's on the first one I quote here, and follow it pretty precisely you'll get root. Mainly, some of the most important things I recall are USE THE KFFIRSTAIDE and that tool will basically get you into all the ADB functions you need to get and keep root. There's an option on there to turn off updates, which you need to do immediately after you gain root in order to keep root. Also, something that nobody seems to mention - you need to set the /system folder to r/w so that you can install the play store app or for anything system related to "take".
Ultimately, I would say, start with getting that KFFirstAide installed and communicating with your Kindle. Like I said, it has many functions you can see in it's options window.
Hope this helps! Good luck.

I've had root, and TWRP. That lasts only as long as the Kindle stays off. Amazon is noticing, and forcing an update (back to 8.9.4), which breaks root. I think we're going to have to skip root and install something Amazon can't see (or find a way to block OTA updates).

Rooting the KF isn't enough to allow Play Store (or most other Google Apps) to work. You have to go a step further, and change the OS to CM (or similar). As long as Amazon can recognize the device, Google isn't going to function. Just no way around this one.

Instead of repeatedly bumping your thread, first read Rule 5.
Try explaining your issue in more detail. For example, What device? Custom ROM or stock. Etc Etc.
The more info you provide, the easier it is to troubleshoot.
PS
I've cleaned up your thread a bit.

Yeah. The whole caboose
But this is specifically for ES
IT Does everything as expected, just getting stuck on opening .apk files
See now, the problem there is that es file explorer will hand the apk over to the apk installer of the os. If it isnt getting that far then try clearing the defaults (autorun!! , NOT CACHE) for es or the entire os if that doesn't work.
Let me know..

YES YES YES! Finally the search is over. I've cleared the defaults.
Now, what kept getting me stuck was when I restored my settings from a backup. This was happening after every install etc of ES.
Damn backup of dodgy settings LMAO
Thank you so much (again) I was using solid explorer But, it's just too candy like baby looking...I've got issues lol
