Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Delete system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
Delete ADW stuff in dalvik-cache, or complete wipe your dalvik-cache
Push the new ADWLauncher.apk to system/app
reboot

if i wiped dalvik-cache will it affect other apps ???
and by "push"
do you mean just copy the apk and paste it in system/app ??

didnt work !!!
isnt there anyway around it by using terminal or something ?

I've done this before by just installing the newer version from the market (it actually has a different name for the installed apk), set as default, then uninstall the old version with Titanium...

Mount RW. Overwrite the file. Then select and install it. Exit and reboot. I do it all the time.

This. You'll have two versions of ADW installed at first, but just remove the old one using TB and you're set.

Try this:
Open the Terminal app and run the following commands in it:
Code:
su
remount
cp /sdcard/ADW.Launcher.apk /system/app/ADWlauncher.apk
reboot

how about setting the permissions?

This is how I did it.
0. Make a backup of your original ADWLauncher.apk
1. Download the newest ADW.Launcher from the Market
2. Using Root Explorer, mount as R/W, in /data/app, find the ADW.Launcher apk file
3. Copy and paste the file into /system/app
4. Delete old ADWLauncher.apk
5. Rename copied file to ADWLauncher
6. (If needed) Long press on file and select Permissions, change Permissions to Read: All 3; Write: User
7. Mount back to R/O and exit Root Explorer.
Enjoy.

Can't get R/W permission on system folder...?

I am in need of read/write access to my system folder. I am simply trying to copy some ringtones and add a boot animation.
I have SGS tools and ran the r/w script, which allowed me to VIEW the folder with Droid Explorer, however I am unable to actually copy TO the system folder or its subfolders.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT - I've also tried to push the files to the phone via ADB, but I get an error telling me "Failed: Operation Not Permitted".
EDIT x2 - I've also got Root Explorer installed on the phone and it showed R/W access, but again, I can't get any files pushed to the phone.

Did you allow sgs tools to get a root permission?

Did you try fixing permissions through cwm recovery?

try root explorer. and double check superuser permissions

I noticed a section for both "mount /system" and also permissions... Both: DONE.
try root explorer. and double check superuser permissions
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Done & Done...
I've still got no access to R/W in any of the system folders/subs. Any ideas?

I am having the same problem with root explorer..
I have fixed permissions in CWM
It had worked once but now it wont mount r/rw in system folder. Press the icon and it does nothing.
Superuser permission in SGS tools, Root exploer all show active
Any ideas?

Anyone else have any ideas? I'm totally puzzled at this point.

I have sort of fixed the problem..
I go into SGS tools and run the batch file to give r/rw permissions, then I can mount r/rw in system folder, but I loose this each time I reboot and I think when I connect USB..
but it works for the purpose I needed!

I think I've found a work around (or maybe the way it was SUPPOSED to work)...
I rebooted the phone in recovery. Then, selected "mount /system". Then I went to Advanced and "Fix Permissions" (don't know if I had do, just did).
THEN - I was able to FINALLY push the files to the correct folders! I tried it using ADB commands and also with Droid Explorer - Both worked great.
I don't know if the phone was always supposed to be in recovery to do it, but it worked!

[DIY] Manually installing Xposed framework on 4.3 release + leak

I had trouble installing the Xposed framework on the 4.3 leak with the app, so I looked through the source code for it and installed it manually. This will be a guide to help anyone who wants to get the framework on 4.3 and the Xposed framework app will not install it.
This should work on any 4.3 device, such as our Nexus 4 or the GPE devices
EDIT: Still works on release 4.3 (JWR66V)
What you will need
1) The Xposed framework installer app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401)
2) A root file explorer of your choice (Solid explorer was not working for me for some reason, so I used ES File Explorer)
3) Root (4.3 root by Chainfire floating around the forums)
4) BusyBox (If you have root, you probably already have it, if not https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox)
*Optional* If your file explorer does not show you any numbers when setting permissions (ES does not), google "CHMOD calculator"
Steps
1) Download the Xposed installer on your phone and install it
2) Navigate to the directory you downloaded the Xposed installer to in your file explorer
3) Rename the installer from "XposedInstaller_x.x.x.apk" to "XposedInstaller_x.x.x.zip"
4) Open the file you renamed, and it should open like any other zip file. Navigate to /assets/armv7-a
5) Copy app_process_xposed_sdk17 to internal memory
6) Open the file again, navigate to /assets/
7) Copy XposedBridge.jar to internal memory
8) Close the .zip, rename .zip back to .apk, we are done pulling files from the app now
9) Go to your internal memory and rename "app_process_xposed_sdk17" to "app_process"
10) Mount /system as read/write if your file explorer does not automatically do so (ES does not do it automatically, Solid Explorer does)
11) Navigate to root, then /system/bin/
12) Rename "app_process" to "app_process.orig"
13) Copy app_process from your internal memory, and paste it in /system/bin/ (So that it replaces the file you just renamed)
14) Long press app_process, click on properties, and change the file permissions to 755 (This is where the CHMOD calculator comes in handy)
15) Change the file Owner and Group of app_process to "root" and "shell" respectively (Also in properties)
16) Go to /data/ and make a folder called xposed
17) Long press the folder, hit properties and set the permissions for the folder to 755
18) While in properties, set the Owner and Group of the folder to "root" and "shell" respectively
19) Go back to where you copied XposedBridge.jar in step 7 and copy it to /data/xposed/
20) Long press it, click on properties, then set the permissions to 644
21) Stay in properties and set Owner and Group to "root" and "shell" respectively
22) Open the installer app, then open Terminal Emulator
23) Type in
Code:
ps
I recommend holding the phone sideways for this
24) Look for de.robv.android.xposed.installer on the right side. Once you find it, write down the first 6 characters of that line (Should be something like u0_a[number][number]) If it doesn't look like that, check the line directly above.
We will call this "$6char"
25) Open the file explorer again, and go to /data/xposed/
26) Make 2 files, name one
Code:
modules.list
and the other
Code:
modules.whitelist
27) Long press on modules.list, hit properties, set the permissions to 644, and change Owner and Group to "$6char" and "shell" respectively
28) Long press on modules.whitelist, hit properties, set the permissions to 644, and change Owner and Group to "$6char" and "shell" respectively
29) Reboot
30) Open the Xposed installer and check if it sees the install. If so, it should be working. Done!

Subscribing to the topic because I want to find out when the original framework gets modified to install properly on 4.3

Installed? Yes. Working? I can't say. Well, I can say that it isn't working the a Hack Connectivity 1.2 thing I use for tethering my tablet to my laptop. It does show that the framework is installed, but there may be more to be done.

Great work but this is still the SDK17 (JB4.2.2) version of things. Tungstwenty posted updated compiles for SDK18 (JB4.3) last Thursday with a link to a simpler manual install procedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43923460&postcount=2249
I then automated that in a flashable zip:

Some modules don't play nice with SDK 18, most do in my experience.

Nice!

Working fine, although I didn't have to install it on the app, and if I tried, the same error would pop up, but it shows that app_process is 34 and XposedBridge.jar is 2.1.4, but no errors at all.

I've been a lurker on XDA for 3+ years now, but this post finally compelled me to register an account.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I thought I was going to have to go back to 4.2.2 or use the default icons. You saved my phone from being an antique/hideous.

I see some things wrong:
You don't have the .jar installed
If it complains about the whitelist file, try running:
Touch /data/closed/modules.whitelist
Then change the permissions to match what the instructions said (755 and root:root )

I installed the new app and update and installed it and works fine, i was able to activate the keepchat module also, however when I use snapchat it doesn't save snapchats opened??
Can you please help...
Thanks

I've done everything using adb on my Nexus 7 running CyanogenMod 4.2 nightly 20130824, and it worked like a charm! Finally I'm able to use the "Xposed App Settings" module again.
Thank you!
Erwin
EDIT:
Although I'm wondering what will happen if I update my nightly...

Installing another ROM will overwrite the app_process file. Also, if the xposed framework app won't install without doing the steps I wrote in the first post, try updating super su in recovery.

Can't access folders in the system partition of my Nexus 5 / SU 2.64 MM

Hey,
I can't access the system partition of my Nexus 5 with Solid Explorer, Super SU 2.64 and Marshmallow 6.0.1
I want to push the Motorola Gallery APK to /system/app and the according /lib files into the /system/lib folder.
Both doesn't work, but I can copy stuff into the /system partition.....
Titanium Backup also fails when trying to push backup files to the system partition.
Is this a known bug or what else can I do?
Solid Explorer works with a modified boot.img (tried for mra58k though) and Super SU 2.52. Titanium Backup still fails (wont got over 0% progress)

android 11 root problem miui 12.5

hi.I rooted the phone using magisk, it was installed and apparently rooted, but I have a problem with root file programs like root explorer or es file manager. The problem is that the rw mount does not work or I even have trouble installing busybox.
my phone : redmi note 10 pro
miui version : 12.5.8 and 12.5.9
android version : 11
magiak version : 23

I don't know deeply this case, but it was told that mounting r/w is not possible in recent Androids for system partitions.
However this is Magisk benefit that you put your files to it's tree and Magisk overmounts original files, I guess it does it using option "mount --bind".
You put file into /data/adb/modules/<module_name>/system/etc/<exemplary file> and after reboot you see it under /system/etc/.
At least the above path was checked personally by me by changing /system/etc/gps_psds.conf file to my own.

I want to install a program as a system, but it is not possible without rw mount, do you know the solution?

I presume you have at least one Magisk module installed.
Put it into /data/adb/modules/<any_Magisk_module_name>/PATH_WHERE_YOU_WANT_TO_HAVE_IT/.
If wanted directories don't exist - create them.
Reboot.
Check.
Maybe tune permissions to make file executable.
Report result here.

I have no problem installing the module. My problem is accessing the system / app folder and making changes.

What changes do you want to perform?
Change one or more of files there, right?
If so - I repeat.
Put your modified file(s) under /data/adb/modules/<any_installed_Magisk_module_name>/system/app/ and reboot.

I do not want to install the module, I want to move an apk file to the system/app folder that is installed as a system and can not be deleted

I wasted my time.
Good luck.

I devoted a while to check that I was right suggesting what I suggested.
