[Q] Root Explorer - System application moving

Hi All,
I've used the following procedure to make the wave secure application a system application:
1) I've installed the wave secure program trough the android market.
2) With the "root explorer" program (already installed on my rooted device) I've moved the application "com.wsandroid.apk" from the default installation path to "\system\app"
3) Reboot
My goal was to make wave secure a system aplication, please, can anybody confirm that this is the correct (and easy) procedure or suggest others?
thanks to all

get titanium backup from the market . there is a free version . open the second tab and you will see all the apps
1 browse and find your app then long press > convert to system app !
got too many apps ?
2 menu button > filter > search part of the app name> done
now in the second tab you will see ur app
long press > convert to system app !
done

This is quite right. But if u can't see the app in appdrawer set the permission to r/rw

titanium
For the users who rooted their smartphone, titanium backup is must have application ..... it has many features including demanded one "convert to system app"....

[GUIDE]Avoiding Marvel ROM Music Player Force Close Pop Up, Easy Steps

It's actually not fixing the FC, but removing the music player in order to avoid the FC pop up
Hi guys, now i'm using tantrum's Marvel ROM, it's a very great ROM, and i like it. But unfortunately, there's a bug called Music Player Force Close. Everytime music player crashed, and asking for force close. Here's easy step to solve the problem :
Requirement :
1. Rooted Optimus Black
2. Root Explorer Apps
3. ES File Explorer Apss
Steps A :
This method is actually moving music player app to another folder in purpose to
remove it from the phone.
1. Make a folder in your SDCARD using ES File Explorer
2. Give it a name "App Backup"
3. Go inside that folder, and make another 2 folder, "system", and "data"
Steps B :
1. Install Root Explorer
2. Open Root Explorer
3. Go to directory /system/app
4. Press your phone menu button, select "multi-select"
5. Once the multi-slect ready, find for "com.google.android.music-1.apk" and "music.apk"
6. Select them.
7. Select "Move" (if you cant move it, firstly press "Mount R/O", it's located right above on your screen)
8. Go to your folder that you make in Steps A
9. Root explorer directory /sdcard/App Backup/system
10. After you're inside the folder select "Paste"
11. Reebot your phone.
12. Finished.
You can change your music player to another market music player, ex : Power Amp.
I hope this guide is easy to follow, and useful for you. Thank you

Why don't you just use one explorer app?
Is there any difference between them?

You can't browse /system/app with ES File Explorer, you have to use Root Explorer

Yes, that's the way to remove music player FC by uninstalling the player. I already mention it in the first post, it's actually removing the player from.the phone system. You can change it with another player

So it's more easy with titanium backup then XD

[Q] How to remove pre-loaded ringtones on X8?

Hello everyone
I just rooted my Xperia X8, and was wondering how to remove the stock ringtones that were already pre-loaded on the phone when I bought it.
Also, which ones of these are best to remove such apps. and ringtones, and such?
1. Titanium backup
2. ultimate backup
3. system app.remover
thanks a million :good:
Ken

Go to system/media
There you will find all the ringtones..
delete the ones which you want..

Thanks to you both
I download Titanium backup from the Market, and removed those apps that I never use on the phone, such as Timescape..
:good:

for removing ringtone go to /system/media. for deodexed app i recommend using root uninstaller while for odexed app just use titanium backup.

Thanks for the reply
Today, I downloaded Root Explorer from the web - I couldn't access the market, as I accidently deleted my Google Gmail account associated with the Market, and couldn't get in..
Anyhow; I went to system>media, and removed some Ringtones and some notification sounds that I didn't like...I switched off my phone for the
changes to take affect, and it worked perfectly.. when I went back into Root Explorer and tried to delete some more ringtones, it gave me this message:
Warning
InsertCoin.ogg cannot be deleted because the file system is read-only.
"'Insert coin" is the name of the ringtone that I want to delete..
If a file is read-only, you can press the "Mount RW" button, and it can then be removed )
On another note..
1.) I was wondering if the Sony Ericsson wallpaper can be deleted? I couldn't find the wallpapers in the system area using the Root Explorer.
2.) And also, will my phone be ok if I removed 'Sync'? Or is that conntected someway to the Gmail apps, and all that important stuff?
On Titanium Backup, I can only find "Synchronisation 1.0.0"
and on Root Explorer, there's only "Sync.apk" and "SyncWizard.apk"- anyone know what these are used for?

Getting DSP manager to work

DSP manager is awesome app. It can take out bass from any headphones. This app is the main reason I use cm. But I have noticed here. On some cm ROMs here, DSP manager is not working. So I experimented a bit and came with a solution which worked. I would like to share it.
Step 1>> Setting
Step 2>> Apps
Step 3>> All
Step 4>> Then search for "MusicFX" and Disable that
Now reboot and try music again. Offcourse first set up your DSP manager and then start music. It should sound with the extra bass of DSP manager.
For some xperia styled ROMs, DSP manager will even not work. For that uninstall walkman. You can do it either by "titanium backup" or similar app or just use "root explorer" and go to system>>app>>and delete "semcmusic"
Reboot and again install Walkman again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804609
flash any of the walkman zip you like
Now open walkman and try music! Voila ...DSP manager working!
If you benefitted , Hit thanks
And to moderatorsand senior members, I am not aware of XDA rules. So don't lose your mind and tell me if there is any misake!

[Discussion] What Root Apps Are You Using On Your Pixel 4XL?

Hello All,
The root landscape has changed over the years and getting back into rooting, I am curious. What root apps are you all using? Of course there are the main ones: Magisk, Kernel Manager, Ect... Would love to see what else is out there.
Thanks

I guess I'll just list what my Magisk Superuser section says I've granted SU access to...
AdAway, AFWall+, AutoInput, Battery Charge Limit, BBS (Better Battery Stats), Button Mapper, Cool Tool,
EdXposed Manager(Burnt Toast Revived, CameraNotify, DisableFlagSecure, FingerFace, GravityBox [Q], MaxLock, XPrivacyLua),
EX Kernel Manager, File Timestamp, Kinetic Scroll, Logcat Extreme, MiXplorer, Network Log, Preferences Manager, substratum, Tasker, Termux, Titanium Backup, ViPER4Android FX

That's it for me at the moment...

My root apps are:
1. AdAway (blocking of ads and trackers on dns "layer")
2. AfWall+ (restrict internet access)
3. Titanium Backup (as data backups)
4. Terminal Emulator (for deactivate the captive Portal Check).
5. Warden (deactivates tracker directly in apps)

I use terminal emulator to allow unlimited hotspot on my Cricket plan and Adway. I keep things simple now.

Not sure what you mean? TiBu works just fine. I use it for all my user and non-Store apps and it restores them perfectly. It is part of my regular backup routine.
For the list:
Adaway, EX Kernel Manager, LTE Discovery, LP, Quick Reboot Pro, Root Explorer, Solid Explorer, Titanium Backup

I'll second that. I've had very good experiences with TiBu for over a decade. Lol
In both this and the Taimen (assuming it's more about Android version instead of hardware) the only snag I hit is a few apps hang if you try to restore data and a couple others are just a no go. Sometimes it just takes installing the app first the restoring the data to get around it.
Waze is one that comes to mind. If I think of others I'll edit this.
Anyway, I probably restore upwards of 100 apps whenever I do a fresh install and don't really find too much aggravation...
