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.

The way that I switch out keyboards (smart keyboard or swype which are system apps) is to use root explorer (paid app) and drop the .apk into the system/app folder after mounting it as read/write.
It may take a reboot for them to take effect.
There are other file system apps that will get you into the root directory that are free.

Try this: Reboot to recovery, make sure your /system is mounted, and then plug in your usb.
After you've done that, in adb, type "adb root", and then try doing what you need to do.
Could try using Droid explorer to push the apk to phone, get root explorer to open files and change permissions. If adb isn't working for you, have you checked your environmental variables path? Something like c:/android-sdk/platform-tools etc. Also remember USB debugging enable. Remember when asking your phone for root priviledges to type in SU

I'm using CriskeloRomNOTE.vICS-V7 now.
this rom is really good to me but some unusable apps exist.
and also it has some duplicated apps like camera & camera ics.
I just want to remove those unusable apps.
I think it would be possible to delete apk files on CriskeloRomNOTE.vICS-V7.zip before flashing.
Then rezip the file and flash. Will it work?
I need your help T.T Thx!!
you should flash it first then remove anything you don't want in system/app with root explorer.
you can see guidance for applications that safe to remove here:

uhm.. thx for your advice, but I can't remove apps by using root explorer or root app remover.
In case of root explorer, it should be required to remove apps that getting permission to change mount r/w to r/o.
But i can't change r/w to r/o at system-app folder.
In other words, I can't remove apps by using the removing applications...
Is there any other way to do?
or please give me some methods to make those removing apps can be worked on my phone..
Thank you.
You should be able to change it in totalcmd (the setting is difficult to find, but it works).
Or, try Root App Delete from the market, maybe it'll work for you.

I browse to where I downloaded the file from ES Explorer and click on the app, but I get that install failed? Any help? I like to use a stylus frequently, and with this latest ROM it is missing the input very frequently. I read that this app installed a setting or a switcher app to select between touch and stylus/

Likely you got install failed because it's a system app. That's my guess. Try this instead. If you have a way of using titanium back up on a device where tenderloinparts works, use Ti to back up the app. Take the back up files from that device and move it to your Oats one. From there, drop it into your Ti backup folder. Then have Ti restore the tenderloinparts.
System APK
Well, I didn't exactly follow your advice, but once you pointed out that it was likely a System App, I installed with Root Explorer by copying to \system\app and setting rights to -rw-r-r then reboot and now it works!

As of this morning, my kindle fire HD 7" was reset back vanilla launcher and un-rooted.
I have re-rooted but keep getting the error "com.estrong..fs.FileSystemException: Permission Denied" whenever I attempt to move my launcher files to system/app
My file explorer has root privileges and I do have my device rooted but it just kind of stumped me.
Does anyone know of a way around this; Has this happened to anyone else within the last 24 hours?
P.S:
My System Version is 7.4.3
File Explorer: ES File Explorer (With all root options selected)
Anyone have any idea?
I still have no idea what's causing the issue.

which method did you used to root kfhd !??
try to root your kf again if the problem is still unresolved !!
first root with restore and after that root with qemu. it's been my way of doing it trough all the amazon updates. it NEVER failed
if you have problems with superSU, just uninstall it and install superuser from market.

I feel like such an idiot..
It turned out the system folders weren't mounted.. So I was getting denied root access..
I had gotten the new version of ES File Explorer (Which I'm not used too), which was giving me the problems.. So I Downloaded FX File Explorer and saw that it wasn't mounted and just NOW finally found how to mount with ES...
Sorry for the post, I feel so freaking stupid.. =/
As we're loosing the root/safetynet battle with Google I have been wondering about how to live without root. If I place an app in the priv-app folder I suddenly give the app permission to the system, how is this different from just giving it root privileges? If they are the same, what would I lose if I move all of my root required apps to priv-app folder and then un-root?
just tried moving Sixaxis Controller as system app, then unroot, it failed to load driver
So, yeah. it's totally different ball game

Yeah, IDK why though. Some apps like adaway and FlyGPS are perfectly fine with it and even tell you to put them there for root privileges, but titanium backup and root explorer won't work without su.
Would love to get rid of root on my phone as Ive managed to get away from xposed.
EDIT:Spoke with Colin from Speed Software (Root Explorer) and he linked me to this permission breakdown: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html
