Rooted or not rooted

[anthonycr]

So I rooted my optimus a few months ago, using gingerbreak, and I am pretty sure it is rooted because my superuser app is giving root access to some apps like wifi tether and they work fine. BUT, I went onto a pc emulator to pull a framework file from the phone so I could modify the status bar look and when I type "adb shell" it says access denied. It will not let me modify the system files, anyone have any advice?

What happens when you type "su" In terminal emulator?

Ahhh, I see I actually am rooted, because when I type "su" I get the "#" which means I am rooted. The problem is that I do not know the commands to push a modified framework-res.apk into the file \system\framwork. I was trying using Android Commander, but it claims I don't have root, when I obviously am, so it won't let me push system files around.

Another way to get your modified framework into your system is to use your PC to open the archive of your ROM .zip file with 7-zip or equivalent. You can then drag and drop your modified framework-res into xxx.zip/system/framework/. Don't copy and paste- drag and drop. Put your modified ROM.zip on your SD, back-up, and flash.

put framework-res.apk in the root of your sdcard
in terminal:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system /system
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
mount -o remount,ro /system /system

That works perfect. Now my status bar is all a sleek gray instead of white and I did not even have to flash a new ROM. I can change so much stuff just by editting the .png files in framework and then pushing it back onto system
