2.2 push/pull help

Persnoally I never use adb for this

I find it more trouble than its worth.
I purchased root explorer from the market [worth every cent].
I then use that to copy any file from the phone to my sd card then I mount to my pc and do my editing. If your new to this sort of thing i'd copy from the sd card to pc just make sure you have a backup incase you make a mystake. Once you have ti down pat you can edit right on the sd card as I do.

I use paint.net to edit the png's I place into any apk im working with. Once that is done I then [in your case I'd copy the edited file back to sdcard]. Then unmount from pc. Now on your phone use root explorer again to copy the file back and overwrite the existing one. Once you paste it then long press on it and set permissions. After that a simple reboot. [I use quickboot also found in the market]. It allows to reboot, reboot to recovery, and reboot to bootloader.

heres how permssios should look

 

Make sure you have dl'd new 2.2 sdk
In adb
type... adb root
wait to hear two beeps on comp....
then type.... adb remount

 

Nice. ya I'm still in Greensboro

 

The path will be just a bit different as it will be coming form the 2.2 folder, not the 2.1. mine looks like this ( Iam win 7)...

C:/Users/Ryan/Desktop/android-sdk-windows-2.2/tools/

 

I personallly never done it seperately

I used thebowers MM theme to change my colors and I think it was the skaggs font, not 100% sure been a while

 

I bet it can be done

seeing that MM can do it, but just reboots right after, I bet with the way we can reboot the moto droid using power and camera button I bet we can copy it there as zip set permissions there then rename, when we rename if the phone were to stop we could just reboot and it should be ok, if not fall back to your last backup I would guess.

Just my .02$, but I believe anything adb can touch we can with root explorer. I do mean once rooted of course.
