Emulator read-only

[Andy E]

Hi,

I'm a newbie on AOSP build and was wondering if I can get some answers here.

I built the AOSP tree and I'm able to use the emulator hoping that I can easily push my applications (apk) without rebuilding the system image.

I however found out that  /system  is read-only.

Using  adb sync or adb push failed to work obviously  since it's read-only.

Is there any workaround this issue?

I tried 'emulator -writable-system' but for some reason it hangs.

adb root, adb remount , adb disable-verity all failed as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,

Try to push apk on path "/storage/emulated/0/".

Hi ,

Thanks for the response but this doesn't resolve the issue of  /system being read-only.

I want to make it writable so I can copy files.

I don`t know the exact file name, but there is a shell code file. (.sh) file which makes it read-only during boot time.
