How do i back up my files using root explorer?
easy peasy, You mount the system RW, you navigate to the folder / files you want to backup, long press it until a menu pops up, select copy, navigate to your sd card paste it all there.
then move it all to your PC if you want.

Use one of the file managers to copy and paste it to the root of your card.

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

Are you replacing a system app that is built into the ROM? If so, the way I do it is
Go to System/App
Find the apk you want to replace, long click and click on permissions. Take a note of what the permissions are set as
Rename the apk you're replacing with .bak at the end (it's just a backup!)
Paste the new .apk into the folder
Set the permissions identically to the way it was before
Reboot your phone. Done.

If you're trying to put it in /system/app (for example) from your sdcard, find it on sdcard, long press and choose copy. Then use the ".." folder at the top of root explorer to go back to the "/" (root) directory. Select "system" then "app" and touch the "Mount R/W" button. Then choose "paste". Lastly find the apk you pasted in /system/app, long press it and choose "Permissions". Make them look like this and reboot:
--------Read Write Execute
User:-----X-----X
Group:----X
Others:---X

So guys ,
i've created this Mod to set Static Operator Icons (like iOS) .
In my opinion, static icons are more beautiful and these icons especially with great design for the graphic design. I don't like the tipical android operator icons with arrows up and down and bad resolution .
4G becomes LTE
H+ become H+(with checkmark)
no preview for now
H becomes H (with checkmark )
3g becomes 3G (restiled)
(all this icons, and others more, are natively contained inside Stock HTC Rom ...)
How to :
1.use the Root Explorer on your phone and navigate to the System/App folder, now COPY your SystemUI.apk to the SDCard folder.
2.Now plug your phone to your computer. I would suggest copying the SystemUI.apk to your Desktop and keep it as a backup, then copy another one to your Desktop for editing purposes.
3.Once you have copied one to your desktop, right click on it, and click on 7-Zip -> Open Archive. Navigate to res -> drawable-xxhdpi. Now Unzip the zip file you just downloaded from here, then drag those files here attached (without their folders) to the 7Zip window that you opened up. Click yes to overwrite, wait for the process to finish, then close the window.
4.Now copy that SystemUI.apk that it's in your desktop (your edited one) and paste it back to your phone's SDCard and overwrite the one that's there.
5.Now, open Root Explorer App, on the top, click where is says Mount R/W. Scroll down and tap on the sdcard folder. Find the SystemUI.apk, long press it then press copy. After that, press back, then go to the System/App folder. Once again, press the Mount R/W button, if it says Mount R/O then don't press that. Then simply paste the SystemUI.apk and hit yes when it asks you to overwrite it.
SystemUI might crash, don't worry about it.
6.After Device respring itself , return to Root Explorer App, Scroll down and find the newly upgraded SystemUI.Apk in the System/App folder, (be sure it says Mount R/O then don't press that) long press it and press Permissions.
Now set your permissions like this
X=Checked
O= Unchecked
X----X-----X
X----O----O
X----O----O
After that just Restart your phone!
That's it!
thx, will try it
thank

Phone need to be rooted s-off first and unlocked bootloader?
Can anyone recommend a file editor? I'm trying to update a feature.xml file using es file explorer. I can open the file and make a change. But it doesn't save it. It just says can't save. I'm rooted and have supersu installed.

You have to change system properties before you can save files in the system folder.
In Es File explorer click the menu button and open tools. Scroll down to root explorer and turn it on. Then tap it and select Mount R/W. Change "/system" to be RW and hit OK.
Now any file in the system folder can be edited, written, saved, or deleted so be careful. Once you are finished editing repeat the process to mount "system" as RO. Depending on what you did you may need to reboot for changes to take effect.
