Is your corporate exchange server 2010 version or old version?

I am trying to replace Email.apk from a different ROM.But when I opened File Linda manager to replace the one in the system/app folder, all it has R(read-only) permissions. Even though I can replace it, looks like the old file still exists. Any ideas how to change that?

you need to mount /system as r/w
open up sgs tools, apply script, and select mount_system_rw.q.txt
then copy your file over

Do I need to reboot the phone after doing that? Still all the files marked as R access only?

Update..
I rebooted and still tried to copy says Update failed..
Anything else I need to try?

 

[Pirateghost]

no. if you reboot, your /system will be set to read only again

i am not familiar with the file manager you are using, i use root explorer or i do everything through adb

Root explorer is not free right? I used Linda file manager or Android explorer. After applying the script, I still see the system/app folder has R permissions.

when you run the script, it should make /system r/w and every subfolder as well.

if you are still having problems with it, then i would suggest that you use adb to push:
reboot to recovery
adb push Email.apk /system/app/
adb reboot

go into your settings/applications/manage applications
find email
delete cache/data from there and relaunch your email app

Was able to clear data but clear cache is greyed outBut when clicked clear data again a force closed error.

Okay, this kernel maybe fast but is a sh*t:

i removed /system/etc/PowerOn.ogg and now it's a damn voodoo-bootloop! convert data partition - backup operation - restore operation - voodoo lagfix is now activated
no logcat enabled, and no ability to enable it.

in recovery it realy thinks it'a s RFS file system! and no damn ability to change, or force mount it as ext4.

Edit: removed symlink for mount - that maybe a cause too, but anyway - none of the speedmod kernels have such damn issue!

Whoah cowboy... Slow down. Those are not arbitrary symlinks. Different developer's software works differently. Don't delete symlinks, they are present for use by the Android and Kernel layers.

Root explorer is not free right? I used Linda file manager or Android explorer. After applying the script, I still see the system/app folder has R permissions.

There's a bunch of ways to do it. I like to use SSH/sftp as it is very compatible with everything. Here's a few ways to make things easier:

1. mount system rw
a. mount system RW with sgs tools
b. mount system RW with market app "mount system r/w"

2. enable a SSH/SFTP server
a. enable sshd server with market app "QuickSSHd" -paid $1, and very much worth it.
b. enable sshd server with market app "SSHDroid" - free, limited features

3. copy to /system/app
a. use your computer to SFTP into your phone and copy the file
b. use a filemanager like Astro to sftp into loopback (127.0.0.1) and copy the file.

4. reboot the phone

I like using SFTP/SSH because it provides wireless mounting and on-the-fly changes without the use of a cable. It turns any SFTP app into a "root explorer" app.

Hmm... after having the 3.0 ROM since it came out, it looks like battery drain is getting worse by the day. A full day 1, i was able to get a whole days worth of activity (web-browsing, email, some push data, that's it) and still have plenty of battery life. Like 40%. However as the days went by, everyday, battery drain appears to be faster and faster. I can still make it a whole day, but by the end of the day i'm near down to 10%.

Any clue? I still have the same number of apps running from a previous ROM (Cog 4.1) and from when I installed 3.0. Know of any good app to track battery usage (besides the stock app)?

It is likely a daemon which you have installed on your phone.

here is a topic from Q&A on how to track down battery using apps.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot to see what could be the issue.

Adam,

Is voodoo color enabled? I cant seem to see it in the changelog. If it isn't, will it be in a future kernal update?
