metadata missing error when installing app using omniSD

[Skumar]

I just rooted my jiophone Lf-2403n using modified boot and recovery files.

1. Then i modified the webapps.json file in data folder to remove pre-installed apps .

2. Just experiment with system apps i accidently uninstall video player from jiophone.

3. I download the stock app folder dumped by Ivan and in that folder a folder named  " video.gaiamobile.org " is i think the required video player .

4. So i zip the folder and try to install but metadata error occured

5. then i search the forum and find that to install webapp i need metadata.json file placed in zip so i create a file with following entry { "version:1, "manifestURL": "app://video.gaiamobile.org/manifest.webapp"}

and repack zip but the error is same .

i am unable to find a way to install it.

So i request the group member please someone provide me the stock video player app installable zip find and also highlight what i am doing wrong

thanks

hello, please try to adb push the application.zip file to /system/b2g/webapps/video.gaiamobile.org and reboot!

[Skumar]

application.zip and manifest.webapp are already in system/b2g/webapps/video.gaiamobile.org

Yes - because it's a pre-installed app... and don't touch that ;)

IF you push it manually then do it on /data/local/webapps :D

But the easiest / cleanest way:do a factory reset... and start over.

(all pre-installed apps are re-installed from /system to /data on factory-reset)

[Skumar]

adb push on /data/local/webapps  is not successfull

i dont want to reset as it remove omniSD and also remove modified host file for adblock

any other way to install it ?

thanks

metadata error is because you have pushed an application.zip with a META-INF folder in it. Remove that folder and retry.

[Ivan Alex HC]

or just reinstall the app with OmniSD, using the right OmniSD zip format.

On metadata.json file:

{"version": 1, "manifestURL": "app://video.gaiamobile.org/manifest.webapp"}

[Skumar]

can you please provide me the installable zip as my all efforts are failed

[Skumar]

OmniSD shows missing metadata files

thanks

1- extract the app folder from your system:

adb pull/system/b2g/webapps/video.gaiamobile.org

2- add a metadata.json file in that folder and compile it:

{"version": 1, "manifestURL": "app://video.gaiamobile.org/manifest.webapp"}

3- repack all, the zip must contain all these file of the video.gaiamobile.org folder

4- install it with omnisd

5- problem solved! ;)

[Skumar]

That is happening to me all the time...
Worst is when it`s happening while modding the system app itself -->softbrick :)
