Hopefully, this is a helpful tip for frustrated users like me.
After rooting the Nook Color with Auto-Nooter, I was still having problems with file managers, including Root Explorer, not being able to gain root system directory r/w access. Finally I found Beansoft's Mount /system (rw / ro) app on the Android Market, and it has solved this problem -- this is the most essential app I have yet found for root level tasks and file management on the Nook Color.
Beansoft's Mount /system (rw / ro), v1.2 Update: added op, for ROOTED devices -- a one-click solution for (re-)mounting the system directory for r/w or r/o access. It also allows system directory to remain in r/w mode after reboot of Nook Color.
This is a FREE app that can be downloaded from the Android Market, and installed on the Nook Color.

Just do a search in the market for "Mount /system" and it will come up.

I've moved to SuckerPunch's 1.4ghz OC/UV kernel, and I need to remove the old s_volt_scheduler from /etc/init.d in order to stop Xan's app and SetCPU from FCing all the time.
Any ideas on how to do this? I've tried Astro and it gives a permission denied, and when I mount the phone thru USB I can't even seem to find the appropriate directory in Windows Explorer.
Thanks for any help or ideas you could provide on how to remove these files, or grant permission to them so I can remove them. I am rooted, running Phoenix 4.5.
Root Explorer app?
And SGS Tools allows you to grant permissions I believe.
SGS Tools was a no-go. Got the .apk for Root Explorer, sideloaded, worked like a charm. The issue was that the filesystem was loaded as readonly, root explorer allows you to mount as read/write.
Thanks.
root explorer is the first application i install everytime i reflash my rom.

Definitely keeping it on the "must have" apps for each time I reflash. Completely annihilates Astro.
Thanks again, guys.
I'm trying to cut and paste the Amazon Appstore APK to my system/app directory, by way of Super Manager on my Auto Nooted 3.0 Nook Color. When I cut the Amazon APK from my SD card (downloaded by way of Dropbox) and try to paste it into my system/app folder, I get a "Not Enough Free Space" popup, and the apk is automatically copied into the system directory only.
I did select R/W when prompted by Super Manager.
There's plenty of space left on the device. What am I doing wrong that is causing me to get this free space error?
Thanks for your help.
Space on the device, and space on the partition are two very different things. I use Root Explorer, and that tells you exactly how much space is available in the partition...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Still should be plenty of space. There's nothing but the rooted OS and about 10 apps. Regardless I'll check using another utility.
I'll try a reboot as well.
Thanks for the quick reply.
You need root and need to set the folder to r/w to write to that directory.
You should really be putting that file in the data/app folder instead.

I don't know if this will help you or not but I'm rooted v1.1.0_r2 and here's what I did:
(I already had apps Installer on my NC - from the Android Market - I thin it is free)
1 - move the apk form desktop to nook via dropbox
2 - moved the apk to the root of the SD card
3- run Apps Installer
That's it! Amazon AppStore works well.

Go into superuser and clear root explorer. When you open root explorer you should be asked again to give su permissions.
If that doesn't work go to /system/bin and make sure you have a file called 'su'.

With the intention of helping all those who have difficulties in removing blotwares even with programs like TITANIUM and others..
Here is a small step by step that I did to remove the blotwares..
STEP - 1
You install the app available in the playstore, called System app remover Https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en_US
1.1)
You need to install the app available in the playstore, called Termux Https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux&hl=en_US
1.2)
grants root access to the 2 apps.
STEP - 2
Perform apk removal With the Termux application open,
you enter as root
-> su (enter as root)
You should now allow to modify the directory system
-> mount -o remount, rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
Now you need to get into the "System app remover" application and pick up the APP directory you want to remove.
-> rm -r [DIRECTORY]
Now you need to return the directory system to read only, 'ro', to prevent malicious activities
-> mount -o remount, ro -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
Restart your phone and you can see that the app is no longer on your device.
NOTE: If you can not go back to read only, after the system reboot you will be able to.
My mobile got much faster and with no crashes after deleting these apps ...
I had difficulty removing blotwares from a rom I downloaded that is available on this link for ZUK Z2 PRO
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/miui-8-version-zuk-z2-pro-t3563578
ALERT: As all androis have the same command system, should work for any device, but be careful not to remove applications essential for system operation. It can cause an infinite loop in system reboot.
If you have a rooted phone, you can just download "ES Datei Explorer", grant root access and remove the folders in /system/app , /system/priv-app , /system/preload of the apps you don´t want. After reboot, you´ll just have to remove the icons from your homescreen.
Make a backup by moving the folders somewhere else. You´ll never know when you need one of these "unnecessery" apps.

Well thought, I'm accustomed to using linux, commands are the same, so it was something that I created in a "homemade" way and decided to share. This app actually displays the root directory, so, it's very good and less difficult, but the app remover can be useful for help you to know what file you need remove..
Thanks for adding the information ..
This is the link what app he's talking about
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
Grants root access and go to directory for remove the file you want.

Good day,
First of all, I have a rooted P10 (VTR-L29C636 B166) using Magisk method. I have tried moving the app using Lucky Patcher and /system/app Mover, but both are unfortunately unable to perform the task.
I tried using Total Commander to remount the /system app as RW, but it won't do it. Basically right now the only way I've found to write to /system is by mounting it thru TWRP, and doing an ADB push. But from there, the app that was moved to /system/app doesn't appear in my app list.
I have a feeling I'm missing out on a crucial step here in order to mount /system/app as RW without having to go through TWRP, but I can't find it. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
