Use one of the file managers to copy and paste it to the root of your card.
Ok so using astro I find the file hightlight it click the menu hit copy and then what do I do to paste it?
long press on the sdcard folder and a list should come up and you click paste.
with astro you have to hit press menu then edit and the to options that should be available to your are paste and select all.
got it thank you guys ! appriciate you

What is the most simple way to copy my framework-res.apk. I have found it using Root explorer but can't find a way to copy and paste to a message. I tried looking for it while connected while connected w/usb but can't find it here.
Use RootExplorer to copy it to the SD card. (internal or external if you have one)
Tap and hold the file name in root explorer, choose copy from the context menu, navigate to the sdcard using rood explorer and then choose paste. Then connect to the computer and copy if from the sdcard.

Try using super manager - make sure root function is enabled..
Browse to /system/framework
Copy the apk
Paste it in /sdcard directory
Rename it to .jpg
Attach to message
Profit
Then rename to apk

I have also just recently rooted my phone and what I did was download the .zip file for a theme and renamed it update.zip then put it onto my sd card, then went into recovery and installed the update.zip file then rebooted my phone and that worked just fine for me
Update.zip is how you get into Clockwork Recovery, so you definitely don't want to rename another file to that...
Boot into CWM by holding volume - volume + and power, select "apply:update.zip", then "install zip from sd", "select zip from sd", find the zip and install. Then reboot. Note: you need to be running a deodexed ROM in order for themes to work properly

Really, cuz that's what I did and I didn't have any problems, my phone is working just fine, and I can still get into recovery.
There is ABSOLUTELY no need to rename the file update.zip just put the file on your sdcard, get into recovery (easiest way is to hold down power and press recovery in the menu) click apply zip from SD, click the file and click install...done

if there are two files that i downloaded for a theme... such as META-INF and System, would i put them both in the same file when moving them to the SD card then just name the file something.zip? or would i only change the name of one of the two files? also am i able just to reboot into recovery from rom manager in order in install this file ?
to install a theme....
1. download it
2. put it on your sdcard (i make folders ie themes, roms, kernels)
3. boot into cwr
4. wipe cache (optional imo)
5. select install from sdcard
6. navigate to theme file
7. flash it
8. reboot
9. profit (optional)

Using rom manager is completely fine, I haven't tested it with the new recovery I've been using the shutdown menu but don't see.why it wouldn't work.
You don't have to extract any of those files from the zip just leave them in there, leave the zip on your sdcard and navigate to it through recovery. Its easier to put the zip in the root of your sdcard for easy access but if the zip is in downloads or something for whatever reason you can just click the downloads folder andthen the file then install.
Also after you install you might need to press your search button to go back a page then click reboot and you're good

New bootanimation Dark City Thunder! Tested on BAMF ginger and froyo roms. Should work with others. Working sound.
Place zip file in the /system/media folder using root explorer.
Rename the old bootanimation if you wish to keep it later down the road. Check the Thanks button if you like.

Downanimation is for when you power off the phone. You can leave that alone.
Yes if you do not rename the old bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zipold it will over write the old file.
now how do i get it from the pc and into the actual system file??? not the sd card
edit!!!!!!!! nvm got it in there!!!!!!11
Edit 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! now it tells me i cant move it into the system/media???

You can push it through ADB if you have it installed but I don't want to confuse you.
1. Plug your phone into the computer. Mount disk drive. ( depending what rom you have you might have to put it in internet pass through mode then usb disk drive)
2. Drag the file onto the sd card. Unmount phone.
3. Using your favorite file manager( RECOMEND ROOT EXPLORER!!) move the bootanimation.zip from the sd card into the correct file folder.
4. With root explorer the correct file system should /system/media folder
inside the media file folder will be the old bootanimation.( rename it to bootanimation.zipold
5. paste new bootanimation.zip reboot and enjoy

Yes but it is worth ever penny and a rooted users best friend. You only have to pay for it once and will transfer to another device in the future with your gmail account. I have five devices that have my gmail account and all of them have my paid apps.
still tells me that i cant rename and or copy or move!!!! WTF!!!! lol.. u think i can flash this??
Edit and i cant get root explorer yet!!!! lol but file manager everything shows up like i can just flash it like a rom??? wht you think?
I made a flashable zip. I'll upload it in alittle bit

Hello everyone,
I just upgraded to 4.3 from 4.1.2 for the first time.
When in recovery I can view all of my original SD card files (prior to upgrade) when I select the "choose zip from SD card" option. However, when I plug my phone through USB to view my SD card contents there's an entirely fresh file structure which does not include my personal files. I also tried through ES File Explorer and I still cannot view my old files. It only works through recovery.
Can someone please point me in the right direction to get my old files back? I know the file structure changed but I'm not sure how to go about migrating my old files.
I'm running InsertCoin with the latest T-Mobile Radio if it helps.

Use a program like ES file explorer or root explorer
Navigate to /data/media/0 and see if you see your files in there or data/media/emulated something like that

Thanks for the reply Charlie. I'm using ES File Explorer. There are no files or folders inside /data/. I checked /storage/emulated/0/ and /storage/emulated/legacy (not sure if that's what you meant) and they are not there either.
Nevermind, found it. ES File Explorer had hidden files turned off and root explorer off as well.
Thanks again!

If you have two TWRP folders, delete the TWRPs file that's in the empty one (not the one that's got your backups in)
