Sorry. Its a low res pic. I'm on my n1 browser. Last time this happened to me I fixxed permissions via rom manager. Turned phone off. And I wiped dalvic and cache for the hell of it. Started working for me shortly after.
Well, the /system partition is by default mounted as read-only... which is what the error "read-only file system" indicates... you need to remount it as read-write before you can do anything there... I believe this should get you through...
Code:
$ su
$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
It didn't work. It spits out a bunch of crap explaining mount.

I'm wondering if its even possible to install/use metamorph on CM6? I have it installed but everytime I go to run it, it fails with error "some files could not be extracted and set up. Please make sure you have enough free space in /system". According to the phone, I have 28.02 MB free in phone storage.
I've tried all fixes I could find on the internet ... I.e.:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
sync
reboot
After the reboot, same error. Hence why I'm asking if this is even compatible with CM6.
FYI I'm running the latest nightly, #94.

I believe metamorph tries to write to the system partition, which won't work without an S-OFF (security off) SPL. The Aria SPL is S-ON.

Since it can't write to the system partition, Metamorph won't work on the Aria. You'll have to have a flashable zip for the theme or do the editing manually.

Ninjamorph does all of its work on the SD card. Metamorph, however, does not.

Download the android SDK, use adb shell to remount system by hand and exchanges the files you want by hand.
If something doesn't work then you can tell us what the error read and we can provide further help.
Info on adb shell is available through forum search or google .

Sorry Im searching now for 2h and couldnt find any way to get this working.
I downloaded the sdk but Im not able to connect to the phone...
Im dont know how to find the right tutorial, I need one to setup my ADB and connect to the phone and afterwords to remount the system...
I would suggest using Root Explorer, which allows you to remount directories as R/W.

Best buy EVER! THANKs
Ever since I rooted in my sms apk there is only one contact that the icon actually shows the picture. Everyone else is just the ghost icon. I had the same issue from time to time on my Inspire but it would cone and go. But on the vivid its been ever since I rooted. I've searched and searched but only found a bunch of solutions that don't work. As far as I can tell there is nothing different between the one contact that it will show the pic and all the rest. Also the pics show when it comes in before I unlock the screen but when I get into the actual sms apk it only shows the one. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

What ROM are you using?
What SMS app are you using?
Where are your icons coming from (Facebook, custom, etc)?
Did you happen to have run the Photo Unlocker app?
I haven't even flashed a Rom yet so I suppose the original ruu would be the answer to that. No sms app nothing fancy. Yea most contact pics are from Facebook. Even the one of the girl who's shows up. I've tried unsyncing my FB account and various other things in various orders. I can't get anywhere
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Try running photo unlocker first. Let me know if that does anything. You can find it in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25375055&postcount=3
If that doesn't work, we need to try to fix the permissions of your icon directory. I think unlocker does that already though, so it's easier just to run that app.
(Once you run it successfully you can remove it)
This will sound dumb. I can't find the option to allow non market apps. It won't let me open it. When I try it directs me to security settings but that option is not there

Sorry man, my bad... It's in Settings -> Security after all. It's called "Unknown Sources".
It took me to this from the app after trying to install. I thought if I moved it to my SD that would help but it did not. I swear that I have seen that option before I rooted. They just need to hurry up with the HTC One X+ so I can a decent phone.... Harumph

Try this either way... Open a terminal (I use ConnectBot personally, but use whatever you like)
and run this line: chmod -R 777 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*
That will change the permissions on all your icons and the directories under them. You might not need to use Photo Unlocker unless you're using a 3rd party SMS app anyway.
I'm on ICS. As far as I know this phone was stock ICS (craigslist).. cool I'll try that when I get home and let you know.
Not in asetting-apps either.

Your best bet is probably going to be just flashing a ROM. Bare minimum try out the Stock rooted one. It's somewhere in Vivid Development on here. Contact pictures has worked on every single ROM I've tried. Strange that you don't have the install from untrusted sources option though. It's been on every AT&T release since gingerbread I believe.
chmod -R 777 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*
-Operation not permitted-
Is the response I got after running that in a terminal. I d/l connectbot but as I am not so familiar with much command line work I couldn't even figure out how to open a terminal but have Absolute System Toolbox for Root. That has a terminal emulator in it so I ran it from there.

Either /system wasn't mounted read/write (try browsing to it with a Es explorer with all the root options turned on) ortry this commandline command:
mount -t ext3 -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
If you can't execute that, you're not root.
Same thing. Operation not permitted. System was mounted R/W and everything I have looked at has told me I'm rooted. I followed hansoons kit to the letter.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
In your terminal try doing the command "su".
Then type "whoami". That will tell you for sure if you have root or not.
If you can su to root, then try executing those commands again. Try the remount first to ensure it's mounted R/W (/system is mounted read-only by default whether you're root or not), then the chmod command again.
Tried those commands no such luck. If im not rooted then why is everything asking for root permissions and telling me that im rooted? Im so confused
I'm confused too now. Maybe your terminal app doesn't have root perms?

D/Led Terminal Emulator made sure to grant it SU permissions, and still nothing cant execute any commands... How would go about unrooting and starting over, by the way i am S-ON
What is the exact error you're getting?
Are you sure you have busybox installed? Make sure you do first and foremost.
If you're sure you do have it installed, please post the error for each command you're trying to run.

Install Root Explorer & goto /system & see at the top. There you'll find "used" & "free" space.

I don't have the device.
This is the reason why I am asking you all..
Don't know exactly but it is around 200mb and to mount data you can use busybox
Extract bb to /tmp set perm then execute mount -o remount, rw /system

Hit thanks please
System ROM is 216 MB.
To mount /data:
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");
But remember if you are asking this to build a ROM, keep system size less than 200MB or it will boot loop....
I guess it would be helpful for you.

What you've just described is a recipe for disaster if you don't know what you're doing. You also haven't told us if you've got a lot of apps installed/movies/music, etc. If we have that information, we can probably help you more.
I'm using vanilla root box right now. I had a few movies before I flashed and now I can't find them. I had the viper ROM prior to the flash. I know that's where all my space is but when I'm looking for the files in root explorer i can't find it.

If you dont need anything prior to your flashing of Root Box, navigate to /data/media in twrp and delete that. That is your old file system.

Could be cache files as well. They build up quickly and you'd be surprised how much can be there over a month or so. I have deleted gigabytes worth before 0_o
Run this command from terminal emulator....
su
cd /sdcard/
find . -name "cache" -exec rm -rf {} \;
Hit enter after each line.
All your cache is gone from your SD card now.

The mistake is likely the call out to /sdcard/
Verify the path exists...
They are case sensitive
Lmao....EDIT***
put your file path in {}
So... {/sdcard/} for example
If that doesn't work.... Well, watch your thumbs, do it again.
