[android-developers] Re: Copying a file from assets or raw to /system/bin folder (rsync)

Just wanted you to know that rysnc droid is a project for android. If
the install steps dont work on a android device, android forum is the
best place to seek advice. Dont get me wrong, but getting a android
app to work, I was assuming that the developers of that app would have
done enough research to get it to work on a real device. I guess not
enough. When I put up the question I was thinking may be I was doing
something wrong. Then it struck me, why system/bin.. It can be just
any other folder.

Hope I clarified
