I have Galaxy Note with ICS 4.0.4, and my note already root, my question is why I couldn't change/edit txt file with Root Browser.
When I opened the file, it can be opened and edited, and after I save the file, reopen it, it still the same with the old one (before edit).
Can someone here tell me why and how to edit in system file?
Thx
How can you justify this thread in Dev section?
Mods please move to Q&A

Sounds like you don't have full root, try to paste a system app in system/app folder (& set permissions), if the file won't paste you need to root your phone,
There's enough guides for this so no point in repeating them.
If it will paste, then post your query including what you're trying to achieve in Q&A section or pm me, see if I can help.

I've already tested with copy, delete, rename & change file properties at system files.
It will work temporary only if I do a setting on "ES File Explorer" application. I have to go to setting and uncheck and check the Mount File System (Mount / . / system as writable).
But it worked only temporary, the file properties will back to before, only copy, delete, rename files still remain.
If after sometimes, I want to copy or delete or edit a file, I have to do the same procedure again with the help of "ES File Explorer" app.
The problem is, the file system cannot be changed if using some program like Volume+, CallRecorder, so the application didn't effect, even with the setting above.
Note : I've already checked with Root Checker application, ant it's said "Already Rooted"
Now I am using ICS 4.0.4 official for my Galaxy Note.
Ugrade from Gingerbread to CS with Mobile ODIN from Play Store.
Any suggestion which I can do to set the system, so it won't always return to lock the file (not editable) ?
Thx
Go to settings of es and root setting N make sure all 4 options are checked.

Hey Guys,
Asus just came out with a new writing app for their transformer (I believe?)
has anyone attempted to pull the apks and necessary's .so's in order to see if it works on the xoom?? If not, would anyone be willing to pull them so I can give it a try
trying to turn my xoom into a fully functioning school machinnneee
Thanks in advance
feel free to PM me if need be
Could i get a link that you say?

I know it's the long way round, but you could probably extract it from this:

So I gave it a try and it worked. Just drop the apk into /system/app/ set the permissions and reboot.

Im assuming you have a file manager installed (Root Explorer, Es File Explorer)
You have to long press the app, after moving into proper folder /sysstem/app/ and set the same permissions as the others (I cant remember which ones they are exactly but you will be able to tell once in the file system).

You didnt follow the instructions. You shouldnt be trying to install anything because the .apk's are not signed.
However, if you move supernote.apk and supernote.odex into system/app and set proper permissions and then reboot it will work.
still cant install this app. I move both supernote.apk and supernote.odex to system/app. try to set permission in many different ways, but this app still not be installed. i guess i give up.

Are you setting the permissions exactly the same as all other apps in system/app and are you rebooting?
I cant remember which set worked for me - I downloaded the Dump and the ROM but I know one didnt work.
Try both.

Yes, there are two types of permission: rw-rw-rw and rw-r-r. I alredy tried and reboot but still didnt work. I download the dump image. Trying down the Rom now.

Ok. Using the .apk from the ROM, i got the app installed but FC upon opening.

finally, got the app working.
+ get the app from ROM link, not the dump link
+ copy supernote.apk to sytem/app
+ using root explorer/es file explorer, set permission : read-write for user-group-and other (rw-rw-rw).
+ reboot
Can someone please save everyone a lot of trouble and post the .apk from the ROM?

I've been searching through here and over on RootzWiki for a Droid 3 copy of BlurEmail.apk. I haven't successfully been able to locate the file or a dump containing the file that I'm confident will work. I am a noob and I apologize for that, hopefully this question hasn't been asked and answered a million times, though if it has I can't find it. I've been looking for the last three hours I promise, I just can't find what I'm looking for.
I have BlurEmail.apk and BlurEmail.odex that I know works on my phone out of my backup prior to installing Steel Droid. Can I deodex this myself, or am I able to just drop both of these files into /system/app and be back in business?
You would have to deodex to use in a rom that is deodexed all ready.
I had to do this as well, needed email on steel droid. Just download Monster Rom bloated, and then you can pull it out of there.
1) Obtain the Deodexed install from RootzWiki. (Or if you have a back-up, that will work too!)
2) Extract the zip file (I downloaded mine to the PC and unzipped it there).
3) Open the extracted folder, then navigate to /system/app.
4) Locate the BlurEmail.apk file (not to be confused with blur_email.apk) and copy it.
5) Paste the file to the SD card or internal storage.
6) Using a file explorer (such as Root Explorer),copy the file from where you put it and paste to the /system/app directory (you may need to mount as RW first).
7) Set the permissions to rw-r--r-- by long-pressing and selecting "Permissions" (this is if you use Root Explorer, other programs may vary). Make sure owner has Read and Write, while Group and Others have Read only.
8) Reboot phone, and enjoy!
***NOTE THIS IS NOT MY FIND. I WAS HELPED WITH SAME ISSUE. I AM NOT COPYING ANYONES HARD WORK***
thats your answer. When it says locate deodex locate the stock deodex not the deodex debloated version. Follow steps. It works. I did it. And im running sd3.

I'm using the email.apk file taken from a Desire Z cyanogen rom, I consider it way better than blur email because I can mix the accounts and assign a custom color for every inbox.
I've just deleted the blur email and copied the email.apk in the system/app folder

I had been able to locate that post you quoted for directions on how to do it, which are straight forward. I'm just having trouble finding a BlurEmail.apk, email.apk, or Messaging.apk that when used in coordination with these instructions gets me to a corporate e-mail inbox. I'll keep downloading different ROM's and trying different ones I guess until I can find one that works for me.
If I ever get to that point I'll attach it to a follow-up post so if someone finds themselves in my shoes later they can just pull that down and be set.
Okay, finally found what I needed to get back working with corporate e-mail. I can't attach to this post unfortunately, nor am I allowed to post links in a post so... I'm throwing this archive up on one of my boxes so if someone else needs it they can maybe find it faster than I did.

Es file explorer is not as consistent when it comes to giving you root access, which is what you need to paste in system, app. Imo, root explorer is a must.
Edit; although I read that you can obtain that permission somewhere in the es file explorer settings
"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
does anyone know if there is a .tar file or something so i could flash the my files app on my cappy that usually comes on the cappy with the official firmwares? i just need some kind of file to do that because i dont like astro and es file manager, etc. even a link to somewere where this has been done before would help, thanks.
Why use that when the others have a **** ton more functionality? Like root file exploration.
Do you have any .tar stock firmware package? Open that archive with 7zip and go to /system/app and drag it out...then use a root file explorer (lolz oh the irony) to drop it in /system/app
Or use adb to push it there
Or get a theme cwm zip package and delete all the files out of the folders (not touching the meta-inf folder) and drop it in /system/app and flash that.

hmm...i think im gonna get the cwm package and just do that, do you have any link on one of those, if not then how can i get or look one of those up?
any theme zip will do, just not a ROM zip that has a kernel and modem in it you don't need top flash the theme zips ate just system apk files you can delete out and add your apk in. Make sure only that apk is in it though.
Hold on...I'll hey you a link where i posted a test zip you can use.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22271929&postcount=1403
In that post is a cwm zip, open that archive with 7zip go to /system/app delete what's there and drop that apk in. Then flash that in recovery.
ya well it didnt work..
Ya well you give more detail we can help.... "It didn't work" isn't very helpful for trouble shooting...
it said that the installation was aborted
What version of cwm do you have?
Or are you on an aosp ROM?
Just use a root explorer, go in and unzip any file that has it in it, then go to the extracted folder, long press on it and hit COPY, then back out until your at SYSTEM and paste it, then look for the file in SYSTEM and long press on it and choose permissions, then change it so it matches the SAME PERMISSIONS in SYSTEM/APP, then once you have the permissions correct long press on it and move it into SYSTEM/APP and hit PASTE. them REBOOT the phone and it will be in there and working. NO NEED to try flashing it in cwm. This MAY sound like a lot of work but it is VERY EASY AND FOOL PROOF.

It failed because you need to mount that partition r/w instead of the default r/o...should be an option for that on the root file explorer you used.

As studacris said make sure to set it to read/write. When using ROOT EXPLORER you will see a button towards the top the probably says MOUNT R/W click on it and then paste it to SYSTEM( the reason I say to paste it to SYSTEM first so you can change the apparently permissions before moving it into SYSTEM/APP since it will ask to overwrite a version of itself if it is already there. To change the permissions just long press, choose permissions, then click the appropriate boxes to make it have the correct permissions before placing it in.

Hey guys! So I successfully managed to root my Galaxy S Advance running stock 4.1.2 Jellybean (Italian firmware I9070XXLQL) and installed SuperSU and TitaniumBackup. I was uninstalling unnecessary bloatware using a couple of lists made by other forum members. One of the apps I deleted was called MTP Application 1.0 (I think?) because it is only required for connecting to a computer via Kies and I don't use that anymore (Android File Transfer all the way!) But now my phone does not get recognised by AFT at all. Unfortunately I'm a klutz and forgot to make a backup of the application before deleting so now it cannot be recovered. Can someone possibly provide me with the APK? It is a system application and I have granted root access to ES File Explorer. Just need the application itself. Thanks!
Edit: I've already searched online and can't find the APK anywhere on the Internet.
Here you go. I attached the file. I use xxlql deodexed and pulled this from the preload partition. I think you must put this apk in the app folder on preload partition and give it permissions. Good Luck.

You must be rooted. Once you are done rooting your device you must install root explorer or es file explorer. Then grant root permissions to that app. Now move the apk file to preload/app folder in root of the device. Then choose properties of the apk file and set permissions. You can youtube the procedure. Good luck.
