So as an update, I did find pm in /system/bin/. Does anyone know how to change the path that adb install uses to look for pm?

I removed some apps by getting rid of the apk and odex file (which from what I can tell is some compressed classes or something like that - maybe similar to a library?) Anyway, simply putting the files back in the apps directory won't reinstall the application. And when I try and install the...

Ya, I have a similar question and no one seems to know the answer. I want to reinstall some apps that have an apk and odex.

I've been running into a problem where email gets deleted from the app almost immediately after I check it. Has anyone else seen this problem? Any idea the causes?

SOLUTION It turns out the recovery is fully functional, you just can't see it on the screen. So, you can do all the mounting from adb. The best part is you don't even have to know the paths to mount. If you type mount -a from an adb shell it mounts all the partitions (except the sdcard for...

SOLVED Alright, the "store" problem was the issue. According to the zip documentation, "store" compression doesn't actually compress the files, it just archives them (I guess similar to .tar). So once I did that it worked fine. For anyone else using a Mac from the command line its zip -r -Z...

Cool, thanks guys. I will post when I get back home. I've been doing some searching as well and it seems that you have to set the compression mode to "store" when you create the archive. Not sure where to do this on a mac, but I'll see if I can figure it out. As a side note, does anyone know...

Does anyone know what the underlying mechanism for running the boot animation is? I have Android 2.2 on an HTC Incredible and replaced the VZW_Droid.mp3 and VZW_bootanimation.zip with some animations I did, but all I get on boot is a blank screen. Do the files in the zip have to be named the...

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. With 2.5.1.1 The screen just went nuts and flashed a bunch of colors. 2.5.1.0 and 2.5.0.1 both had white bars. At some point I had an older version of the recovery mod that worked but then when I installed ROM manager it forced me to install the recovery...

Awesome, thanks. Can you also show me the mounts and storage menu?

I'm sure most of you are familiar with the "2 white bars when booting into recovery issue" so I have a favor to ask. I'm running the 2.5.0.5 recovery on my HTC incredible and needed to do some stuff from recovery. It seems like recovery is working, I just cant see the menu options. Can...

Cool, thanks man.

What does "safe" mean? I've been messing around with removing various apps and notice that removing some will cause the phone to hang on boot. I see the two htc splash screens ok, but then that droid eye thing will hang. Unfortunately I haven't played around enough to figure out exactly which...
