All related apk's, you lose to add exchange and other settings that is related to autosync and or google, maps, voice search you name it, take a look at what you now have in system\app and look after download in the system\app in the google less version.

hi acubens,

an android os without google, nice and hard at the same time. for people to reject the Googles privacy policy, great! :)

btw: the camera-application crashes in the no-google-rom. camera start > click the button image view crashing. can you reproduce this on your tab? :confused:

best regards

Hi,

Yes i have it but i take as it is, dunno why i think that some app will make use of it like the upload service that is also removed, because you have an option to share the picture.

If I get the Xperia Play sim unlocked, Can I then unlock the bootloader?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elspanish88:
if you unlock your bootloader via jinx or alejandrissimo it will unlock your sim at the same time... i used alejandrissimo, very professional and was unlocked in minutes but it is the paid way.

unlocking your sim will not change anything at all to do with your bootloader im afraid, if your sim locked the paid way is the only way - $24 well worth it!!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhoopes517:
Looks like thats the way im going to have to go. On the plus side, I get paid tuesday. =)

But yeah, I was just wondering cause I know people were like you cant unlock the bootloader if its a sim locked phone and all this other stuff and I was thinking, What if I called up ATT and got them to unlock the IMEI?

But if that wont change anything, I guess the paid method is how im going to have to go about doing this.

Thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DazzaChazza:
If you get it sim unlocked your bootloader will then be allowed to be unlocked.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRudolph:
I believe the bootloader is specific Per-Device.

You can check if you can in your settings, excuse my newbieness,

Settings > Root Status (or something to this effect)

If your bootloader can be unlocked it'll be listed there.

I dont think the status of your SIM (locked or unlocked) affects the bootloader.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhoopes517:
Well... Then I guess Im just gonna call up ATT and get the unlock code. Unlock the phone's sim lock and see if I can, Worse comes to worse, I cant. I still have the paid method available and I havent paid any money what so ever.

Ive looked there and it doesnt show. Which is what brought my hopes down in the first place but everywhere I looked... it said I cant because the device is simlocked. Which is why i wanna know if getting the sim lock removed would then allow me to access and unlock the Bootloader via FastBoot.

I have never owned a phone that has stopped me from rooting and installing custom roms to it. This is kinda a dissapointment but on the plus side, its a good phone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRudolph:
Hard to get an unlock code from AT&T Or so I heard, but if you do, if you can tell me what you said, that'd be great.

If you do get an unlock code from them, Cant hurt to try to unlock the bootloader after that.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhoopes517:
Im a "Valued" member of ATT. Had them for years. So, They dont question me. As long as youve had the phone on your account for 90 days, they dont bother you if you ask for a unlock code.

I will most likely do this tomorrow and will post the outcome. because like I said, if it just takes unlocking the sim card from ATT to be able to unlock the bootloader... id rather do that.

Im not against paying 24$ to have it done.. but why not try what I can for free first?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kash_ie:
Hi everyone, I'm completely new to smartphones, just bought an Xperia Play 800i. I have been keenly reading the forums, going through everything I need to know.

My android version is 2.3.4 and build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42. Phone is network locked.

If you don't mind letting me know, the best way to start is by unlocking the SIM right? Then unlock the bootloader,then custom kernel and flashing?:confused:

Your advise would be appreciated.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netorino:
AFAIK regular SIM unlocking doesn't let you unlock your bootloader.

I've read of people who pay a little or get sim unlock from other methods which isn't enough for the bootloader.

It's just that Alejandrissimo's method unlocks both sim & allows for bootloader (it's a 2 for 1 method).

Hope it helps, and if AT&T gives you a free sim unlock code then give it a shot, but it's said it doesn't work that way.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kash_ie:
I'm trying Alejandrissimo's method and I'm lost. Have PM'd him and waiting for his reply. I am not on the AT&T network.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRudolph:
Thought that was only T-Mobile. Sadly I dont even have an account with them, Just bought the phone from ebay. So im probably gonna have to spend more to get the thing sim-unlocked.

Oh, look what I found on AT&T's website.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kash_ie:
I'm stuck at the USB over Network stage, keeps saying server unreachable when I select MY PC. What am I doing wrong? So frustrated!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LFSPovo:
You can get your Xperia unlocked in less than 10 minutes by Alejandrissimo. When he SIM unlocks your Xperia he will also automatically unlock bootloader.

You can visit his website here.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kash_ie:
I visited his website, downloaded the zip file, and then I'm stuck not knowing what to do next.

So, you are saying I have to wait for him to respond to my request? So, I guess the USB over Network program will be used by him, to remote unlock my Xperia? I'm cool with that because I want to pay for the service.

Ok, in that case it sounds like you're unlocked (maybe through HTC) but not S-OFF.

If that's the case you just need to push the boot.img from the rom you're installing through fastboot.

I can post a quick walkthrough on this if you need.

For months I have used Wireless Teather for root and had no issues. I just obtained a Acer A500 tablet and wanted to use it through the DroidX hotspot. Now every time I try to connect it sends me to the Verizon Hotspot signup page. Any idea? has Verizon caught on someway?

Thanks
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
There is a tether patch somewhere out there that you can flash that will fix this.

Motorola baked this guard into the Droid X's Gingerbread roms. If you were to use a 2nd-rom such as MIUI or CyanogenMod you wouldn't have this issue.

[Kindle Fire General] t4nn3d1n:
I've been primarily following the instructions available at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1443071, however I've run into some basic issues.

When I run BurritoRoot3 (verified off the big red 3 in the app), the app does not give me a "root" option and immediately opens a dialog box requesting me to "run /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --root" through adb to start the process?"

I have the kindle device listing in "adb devices" as "7A7C002600000001 device"

I try to run the command listed and get an error that the bin file does not exist.

"adb reboot" does reboot the device

"adb root" gives me "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"

the one automatic script for mac & 6.2.2 keeps giving me "error: device not found" errors.

-----

Everything I can find to test the computers install of ADB seems to verify that its working correctly and my forum searching + google search skills are failing me: anyone know some forum threads that cover this?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
- the app does not give you a root option - it only guides you what to do

- have you followed all steps ?

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp

adb install BurritoRoot3.apk

<go open the app now>

adb shell /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --root

adb shell /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --install

maybe you have to do the adb commands with ./ in front (eg ./adb whatever)
[Kindle Fire General] AustinFire:
You have to make sure that you do this command:

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp

Otherwise it will not make a "BurritoRoot3.bin" file, which means no root.

Install the BurritoRoot3.apk on your kindle, and go into the app.

After that is finished, input:

adb shell /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --root

Then:

adb shell /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --install
[Kindle Fire General] t4nn3d1n:
I found http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410223 which has that chmod command in it. Naturally I found that thread 10 minutes after I posted and was so dumbstruck with myself that I didn't post a reply to my own post.

The device is rooted now and I installed the Alpha Release of MIUI 4.0.? and naturally a few things don't work. Trying again with MIUI's 2.3 stable release (don't know the version number off the top of my head)

Thanks for the quick reply and looking out

How do install a *.apk from adb command line?

First I tried to cp the *.apk from /sdcard/backups/apps to /system/app (after rw mounting the file system of course)

I did successfully move it to /system/app but the *apk was not "installed"

then I rm it and tried:

install /sdcard/backups/appa/<package>.apk /system/app

and it copied the *apk to /system/app but still was not "installed"

I also tried:

install /system/app/<package>*apk but got the error dialog:

BusyBox v1.19.0.git.adrynalyne (2010-12-21 22:03:30 MST) multi-call binary.

Usage: install [-cdDsp] [-o USER] [-g GRP] [-m MODE] [SOURCE]... DEST

Copy files and set attributes

Options:
-c	Just copy (default)
-d	Create directories
-D	Create leading target directories
-s	Strip symbol table
-p	Preserve date
-o USER	Set ownership
-g GRP	Set group ownership
-m MODE	Set permissions

My goal is to figure out how to use adb command line and also I want to install an app as if it were a pre-installed app. For example pre-installed apps don't show up as a removable app and stay installed after a factory reset.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragepekr:
what kind of app??

System app is just copy to your system/app folder.

and set permition to 644 (rw-r--r--)

Adb push *.apk /system/app

Normal apk is

Adb install *.apk

that's all.

I can explain more if you tell me about what kind app and your system(window or linux)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keypel:
I don't have push. I have pushd. is pushd the same as push? I'm guessing not. I think pushd is for directories.

I was just experimenting with AK_Notpad.apk. Also I did set AK_Notpad.apk to 644 before even asking in this thread. I noticed the permissions were funky so I changed them to 644 to match all the other apk's that were in system/app

I'm trying to figure out how to install an apk as if it were a pre-installed app. (i.e app doesn't show as removable and stays installed after a factory reset)

PS I'm a linux user.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragepekr:
If you using android terminal.

try this

pm install *.apk
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liuhuiyan2010:
$ adb install *.apk

It will appear "Success" when finish.

or you can cp the apk to sdcard using file transfer or "adb push".

than click to run in your android device's file manager, it will start the installation.

---------- Post added at 04:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 AM ----------

ok, I got it. You were using "adb shell".

Don't go into the adb shell, just in your cmd(windows) or terminal(linux).

place your apk in your host PC, not android device, type "adb install *.apk ".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keypel:
yes, I was using adb shell....

Ok that worked... (Thank You) using "adb install" from a terminal (not adb shell) works for installing. (PS how do you set the permissions i.e Storage and Networking permissions it needs)

but how are pre-installed apps installed? I know they are in /system/app but how do I install them to /system/app? Moving them to /system/app does not install them.

I'm trying to make it so that I can install an app and it stays even after a factory reset. For example superuser.apk stays installed even after a factory reset.

I tried:

adb push /home/user-01/Desktop/AK\ Notepad_2.3.6.apk /system/app

but it only copied the apk to /system/app, but it did not install.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keypel:
I got it! Thanks Everyone!

The main problem is that for what ever reason apk's that are in the /system/app folder cannot contain spaces.

I renamed the apk from "AK Notepad.apk" to "AK_Notepad" while the file was on my Desktop and then:

adb push <path/to/file.apk> /system/app

chmod 644 /system/app/AK_Notepad.apk

and then a "reboot"

(of course you have to make the file system writable first)

If you don't get rid of the spaces in the file name, it will only copy the file instead of copy and install.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
I didn't want to clog/hijack THIS THREAD but the pin info and idea was very helpful. After waiting and waiting and waiting for official word of a charging dock that utilizes the pogo pins on the side, I've given up hope. And lets face it if you kill the usb port on this thing "you're screwed". so I really wanted to reduce my usb port usage and utilize a feature that comes with the device.

My material list is 8 screws, 46 gauge guitar string, a strip of 1/2" playwood that happened to be ripped down to 2 1/2" in my garage, usb cable, piece of flat 1/8" thick plastic and a tiny bit of solder. The way that I screwed/bent the piece of guitar string gives the perfect amount of spring so that when the device is set both are compressed and make contact with the side of the device.

This was very spur of the moment and took me a half hour to build. And it works brilliantly. Yes I could have spent more time on design and material type and getting proper pogo pins. But I'm lazy and intent of this thread is spark ideas in other peoples heads. So now this masterpiece lives on my nightstand and I drop my galnex in at night and wake up to a full charge in the morning without having to use the usb port.

**edit** The pic of the lockscreen is in landscape using the Team Kang AOKP rom.

1.For those of us without guitar string, would a paper clip bent into proper shape work well too?

2. What cable is that, that you were using just a power cord or was that usb?

3. You said it just sits on your night stand so does that mean you cant transfer data to your computer?

Also a video just going over it more or perhaps some more pics of the back there would be nice (at least for me) to see what is screwed around the screw. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] machiz7888:
1. no idea, sorry. Check out the pogo pins though.

2. Thats a power cable, a usb would have a wire for data.
