[Q] Editing the gps.conf file - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need to edit the gps.conf file in the system/etc folder. I tried to edit using the file editor in Astro File Manager but it is currently read only.
I am rooted.
How do I run astro manager as root or enable write rights to that gps.conf file?
thanks.

[Q] Can not change permissions using Root Explorer

I have Root Explorer installed and I am trying to rename a file in the directory system\media and copy a new .zip file to the location. When I have executed the process it changes back to original file.
I have checked the Mount R/W button at the top of Root Explorer as well.
I have checked to make sure the superuser is in the whitelist for Root Explorer.
I also can not add .apk files to the apps folder as well.
What can I do to resolve this.
TIA.

Read-only on internal memory

Hi guys i want to move a mp3 ringtone to internal storage on my OB also i cant create a folder. Please help me guys i have the latest CM nightly, Thanks in advance!
Take root explorer or ES File Explorer to do the task. You need to mount your filesystem, to be able to write. Then just Copy and paste it
how do i do that ? i already have root explorer and es file explorer
You have to enable it in the settings of ES File Explorer.

Open ES file manager push menu/options button, settings, scroll down to root explorer, check the box, click allow this app to have SuperUser rights and save the setting (check box), mount datasystem (/ and /system mount) (it s a checkbox below root explorer), copy your file and paste it wherever you want to

Root directory

Hello I'm looking to play some gameloft games on my TP,so I need to change build.prop file. But there isn't any files in root category. How to get these files?
The built-in file explorer doesn't let you see the root directory. You can use something like Root Explorer (paid app from the Market), or an equivalent, to see it.
Besides, build.prop is located in /system

If you're rooted, you can use es file explorer (along with some other ones). In settings, click on the 'rooted' box and also on the mount box. Free in Google play. The build.prop file is in /system

[Q] Tethering on HTC Vivid (Rooted, stock rom)

I tried many apps and none of them seems to work. Right now I have Titanium Backup installed, but I can't find any app that seems to be a Tethering blocker. What would be some possible names for that app? Also is there any other stealth Wifi app out there that I can try? Thanks.
If you search before you post... you'd find a thread with the fix...

I downloaded that zip file in that thread and got the ext.jar file, but I can't seem to delete the ext.jar file in the /system/framework directory. My phone is rooted, and I have super user permission. Is there any way to trick it to allow me to delete it? Thanks.

Works if you set ES File manager as your default program to download.
Use this it swaps your internal memory with external memory http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180733
