Re-install mediascape after root.

---

Thanks for the great job done by developers. However, I noticed mediascape was removed after root. Personally I think mediascape is nice but failed to install it from the app folder on sdcard. Searched the whole thread but didn't find a method.

I tried manually copy the mediascape.apk to /data/app, reboot, then mediascape is restored in the application drawer and can be run functionally.

Here is the details.

Connect the X10 to PC using USB debug mode.

Get the adb.exe ready (you can run it from the root step4 folder directly)

0. Copy mediascape.apk to the step4 folder.
1. Start command prompt as administrater.
2. Change to the step4 folder.
3. Run "adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system" without quotes.
4. Run "adb shell chmod 777 /data/app" without quotes.
5. Run "adb push mediascape.apk /data/app" no quotes.
6. Run "adb shell reboot" no quotes.


BTW: I have copied all the mediascape related files back to /system/app as well, by running "adb shell chmod 777 /system/app" and using adb push.

Seems it's not ideal as the apk is not installed but added to the X10 directly.
Any better ideas?

Try RealPlayer for Android, it's a new app, really good!

Can you see mediascape.apk in the /data/app folder? If yes have you copied 4 mediascape files back to /system/app?

The data/app folder is not on your sdcard. Up one level.

Thanks Guys!!!


Anyway, I was able to get Mediascape to work again using a small script I wrote (looking at those made by our developers).

Here's what i've done:

IMPORTANT: you must have *.apk and *.odex files on your sdcard!!

----------------------------------------------------
@echo off
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/apps/MediascapePluginManager.apk of=/system/app/MediascapePluginManager.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/apps/MediascapePluginManager.odex of=/system/app/MediascapePluginManager.odex
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/MediascapePluginManager*

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/apps/mediascape.apk of=/system/app/mediascape.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/apps/mediascape.odex of=/system/app/mediascape.odex
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/mediascape*

adb shell reboot
----------------------------------------------------

I don't know if this will work for all of you, but it worked for me.
Don't really know if this breaks anything in your X10, so use this at your own risk.

Thanks again for rooting this thing!!
