First we need all the pre-requisites needed.

1. We need to root our device to have super user capability, In my case I root my nexus one

2. install superuser (http://www.appbrain.com/app/superuser/com.noshufou.android.su)

3. Install BusyBox (to do shell command "cp") -- available in android market (http://www.appbrain.com/app/busybox/stericson.busybox)

4. Execute the following commands in the terminal emulator to remount the /system directory as read/write and to install the application into the /system/app directory (http://www.nexusforum.net/nexus-one-application-day/524-nexus-one-app-day-2-8-10-powermanager.html):
