The g9 has a good file app can it be extracted to use on a phone like the atrix ? What I'm looking for is the network browser part.

My goal is to use my g9 as a media server use my old phone with the HDMI and connect it to a TV the TV has a USB that will charge the phone then I have a make shift Google TV

you can find it in /system/app

I don't think it will work however since it's odexed. perhaps a deodexed version would work better.

Do you have a link for instructions I do have a live USB Ubuntu will that work?

1. You need at least 600 MB of free space on USB (archos.ext4.zip and place to unpack)
2. Open terminal in the folder where archos.ext4 is located and:
Code:
mkdir mnt
sudo mount -o loop archos.ext4 mnt
3. Do whetever you wan to with files in ext4 image, then
Code:
sudo umount mnt
[optional] rm -r mnt

However keep in mind that apk may depend on system framework to work properly (in other words- I can't say if it will work on other device or not)

i know its a shot in the dark still want to try;)

ok i tried the steps you gave me but i must be missing something steps i took

i made a new folder dropped the .zip into the new folder, opened terminal i typed cd then drag and drop my new folder then hit enter

then i typed
mkdir mnt
sudo mount -o loop archos.ext4 mnt

i get "file type must be specified" or something like that

what did i miss?
