I wrote to /system
I was NOT in Recovery. Now I'm an adb n00b so while I can confirm we can write to /system I'm no expert in commands, codes, etc.
Here's an example of how I moved Sprint TV from my SD card to /system/app:
Opened a command window (Run...cmd...cd\)
C:\>android-sdk-windows\tools\adb shell
YOUR PATH WILL VARY
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
THIS MOUNTS /SYSYEM AS WRITABLE
# cat /sdcard/Sprint_TV.apk > /system/app/Sprint_TV.apk
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
THIS RETURNS /SYSTEM TO READ ONLY
(dont type the $ or #, that is what you'll see)
EDIT: Run a
mount command after typing su. You'll get a list of code that tells you which mtdblock your system is in. mtdblock4 is apparently the one used when you are booted into the system. My original post had mtdblock3 in the code but I changed it after some reading.
I copied and pasted those commands and they worked, if they dont work for you try typing them out.
This is just how to move a file to /system/app. I was just looking to prove we could do it in OMJ's 1.6 since the typical way seemed not to work. I dont know what this implies about the rest of the system.
In messing around since I didnt know remove commands I simply removed other files from /system/app with Android Mate/delete. THAT was easy
I'm not saying this is the only way or the best way, just something I researched and figured out.
