Sorry. Its a low res pic. I'm on my n1 browser. Last time this happened to me I fixxed permissions via rom manager. Turned phone off. And I wiped dalvic and cache for the hell of it. Started working for me shortly after.

Well, the /system partition is by default mounted as read-only... which is what the error "read-only file system" indicates... you need to remount it as read-write before you can do anything there... I believe this should get you through...
Code:
$ su
$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

It didn't work. It spits out a bunch of crap explaining mount.

Metamorph + CM6

I'm wondering if its even possible to install/use metamorph on CM6? I have it installed but everytime I go to run it, it fails with error "some files could not be extracted and set up. Please make sure you have enough free space in /system". According to the phone, I have 28.02 MB free in phone storage.
I've tried all fixes I could find on the internet ... I.e.:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
sync
reboot
After the reboot, same error. Hence why I'm asking if this is even compatible with CM6.
FYI I'm running the latest nightly, #94.

I believe metamorph tries to write to the system partition, which won't work without an S-OFF (security off) SPL. The Aria SPL is S-ON.

From this thread
Since it can't write to the system partition, Metamorph won't work on the Aria. You'll have to have a flashable zip for the theme or do the editing manually.

Ninjamorph does all of its work on the SD card. Metamorph, however, does not.

Download the android SDK, use adb shell to remount system by hand and exchanges the files you want by hand.
If something doesn't work then you can tell us what the error read and we can provide further help.
Info on adb shell is available through forum search or google .

Sorry Im searching now for 2h and couldnt find any way to get this working.
I downloaded the sdk but Im not able to connect to the phone...
Im dont know how to find the right tutorial, I need one to setup my ADB and connect to the phone and afterwords to remount the system...

I would suggest using Root Explorer, which allows you to remount directories as R/W.

Backup efs file

How do i make a backup efs file for a gtab sch-i800 (cdma)? I have the app efs pro 1.9 and 2.0, but no success. The app does not have the tab bin file. (?). Any other ways to make a backup efs file?
Thanks.

you should be able to copy the /efs folder manually.
For P1000, when we flash CM rom, it backs up efs to sdcard ( /backups I think).
The oldest copy usually the most reliable (if before flashing CM you have a good IMEI)

Hi priyana,
Seen alot of your posts! You give really good advice. Especially--this is the original gtab forum!
Anyway, how would i make a backup manually? I will look around in the other tab that's got the CM11 p1c rom to see if i can find it. I just hope terenceng will be able to fix the data bug in the cm build. I woyld love to activate the tab to 3g. I have 3 of these 'ole tabs around, so i don't have a problem finding the file. I just want to transfer it.

Update-- i copied the efs file. Now, how do i install it? Just copy it again or?

Yes. Just keep in safe place. Note down the permissions too.
Although honestly I never restore efs before.
Usually the best way to restore it is by restocking to GB. That was the case of p1. I think it should be the same as p1c.

What are the permissions i need to note? Is it the rx dx x? Anyway, i got the file saved to the sd card on my tab with galaxy cubed. Now i want to move the sd card to my other tab with kitkat to copy the info there. Then all i have to do is update the imeid (meid for us cdma people) to the correct number. Finally, wait for terenceng to fix the data on his build. Hopefully i will have a FULLY working custom rom.

Permission of each individual folders and files.
Not sure if you can move between tabs.
It is an "encrypted file system" and I am sure it is encrypted from the hardware info.
That is why flashing a stock ROM can regenerate the content.
But anyway, hope it works.

When i go to the efs file using root browser, the file does not show any files or folders inside. So, how would i get the permissions?
Or, what would i need to return the tab to stock? I have a stock gb rom with root, heimdall and odin ready to go. Would i need a pit file of some sort? And, what about the different memory systems rfs,ext4, and mtd? Any problems here?

Restock with pit needed to get back to bml+rfs (partition and filesystem)
When you flash cm ROM from custom recovery, it will check and convert to mtd partition and ext4 fs
So you don't worry about conversion.

When i open the efs file using root explorer, there is nothing there. ? . Any way, i've been reading up on restocking my 'ole gtab. I think i'm about to have a flashback!
I just flashed terenceng newest update. Cameras work, but video fc's evertime. App2 sd is now good. The last major fix is data. This could be some time in comming due to terenceng computer hard disk crash. So, i've got time.

[Solved] Adaway doesn't work

Hi @all. Adaway doesn't work for me. It can't copy the host files. I don't know why. Root is okay, checked with root checker. Adaway has permission to write on the storage. Can anybody help me?

That's just for the hosts file. You want to know if /system is mounted rw. If you have an app like terminal emulator, open it and type: mount Then look for /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system on /system type ext4. In parentheses it will either have ro (read-only) or rw(read-write).
Also, I don't use Solid explorer but it probably has a way to mount the system rw. Someone else would have to help you with that.
Edit: You would have to be rooted to change permissions with a file manager like Solid.

Download version 3.2 or higher and activate "enable systemless mode" in preferences. Then you won't get that error.

I have a problem too looks like this and it cannot load it... help

Check your host sources, too. Here's what I use.

Heloo the same problem herr tried all means mentioned above no help bad enough i don't see systemless in Adaway 3.3

Solution - go to twrp, go to wipe then advanced wipe, select system and then tap on increase size.
The problem is because the partition has no space left to accommodate files. You will not be able to write host files nor change font via ifont because both files need space ~5mb. Hope this solves your problem.
