moving files using terminal emulator vice adb

[RW-1]

I have a new bootanimation.zip with sound that I want to place into /data/local (as the OS looks there first instead of replacing the one in /system if I understand correctly)

However I don't wish to use ADB, or even root explorer, would anyone know the commands that I could use in terminal emulator?

I know the move command and tried, but I get a cross device link error if I'm in /data/local and try the mv command, likewise if in sdcard and just try mv bootanimation.zip /data/local as well

any thoughts or can you direct me to someone who knows android code?

Thanks,

Marc

By no means am I suggesting this will work, but when I'm copying from the sdcard to the /system/framework folder, I use TE and type:

su
sys -rw
busybox cp /sdcard/file_name.ext /system/framework
sys -ro
reboot

Someone just shared that with me since I changed to v0.3 and then v0.4.
When I was on 1.1 and before it was different.


So, can't you use that to push to the /system/media folder?

Hi,

Thanks, yes, that likely will work, but I prefer to throw it to data/local because then if I want to revert I just remove it. I'm told the less I mess with the system folder the better.

I don't have the sys command it seems, get sys: not found

To push the bootanimation.zip use these commands in terminal emulator
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot

term commands

don't know how much the terminal differs from the Nexus One but these are the commands that i use....

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
busybox cp <file location to move> <where to move it>

eg "busybox cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /swystem/media"

hope it helps......
