Root Explorer and copying files to System/App

Hello All!
So I have a nook color 1.1.0 rooted with AutoNooter 3.0 and everything is running fine thus far.
However, what I'm currently trying to do is install SlideIt keyboard which did install and I see the .apk file in the /data/app folder using root explorer but when I attempt to copy and paste the SlideIT .apk file into the /System/App folder on my nook it tells me that in cannot do it as the file system is READ only.
I was under the assumption that just by using Root Explorer that it would allow me to to write files to the /System/App directory but it appears this isn't the case.
Am I doing something wrong? or am I missing something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

There's a little button at the top of the UI that says "Mount R/W". Press it.

Thanks that did the trick! LOL.. Obviously I missed that little detail... Now if I can only figure out how to activate SlideIT.
Has anyone had any issues activating SlideIT with their activation code? I enter my activation code and it says "Activation Failed" for some reason. My nook does have an active internet connection so I don't think thats the issue.
Thanks.

After moving the apk from /Data/App to /System/App and changing the permissions per other instructions, install it using Root Explorer.
Next, open NookColor Tools to choose your keyboard. The last step is to reboot.

Please disregard. It's pretty obvious that I misread your last post.

I'm having an issue as well the button lights up when pressed however it won't change from read only any solutions?

Just as an update on my issue with SlideIT activation. I was finally able to activate the product with the validation key but it took 24 hours or so for it register successfully.
I have no idea why it took that long to accept the activation key but the keyboard is now working correctly.

[Q] Did the most STUPIDEST thing ever! PLEASE READ and HELP ME. :(

Okay... I factory reset my Samsung Galaxy S. What I forgot was that I un-installed my default keyboard through titanium backup... And I didn't back up because it wasn't working. My phone is still rooted which is good. I am running 2.2
Is there a way to install APK files from the computer into the phone? :/
I know for sure that it's possible on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, I used it myself, it's called flashtool. Is there a similar program for the computer where I can install applications into my phone?! Idk what to do! D;
Download mode doesn't work. And ClockWorkMod doesn't either!
Any help is appreciated!!!

Why do you want to un or install thos Keyboard???

You can copy and install apk files using adb: "adb push" to copy and "adb install" to install.

I thought install at adb is only for zip files? ??

I un-installed because I don't like stock keyboards. And since I un-installed, when I factory reset, I had no keyboard to use.

Ah kayy now i underatand

I have always put the apk I wanted to install on my SD card and in 'My Files' went to the SD card and clicked on the file, easy peasy. I have never used any other program to install apk's.
No keyboard is needed, only the touch screen on the phone.
Actually, I keep all the programs I use on my phone on my SD card in a folder called Apps and whenever I flash my phone I go to the Apps folder and click away until everything is installed, takes less than 10 minutes, and it's faster than going to the apps market all the time.
If you need a good keyboard, I use this one, give it a try.

[HOW TO] Note3 Playstore/Samsung Apps Spoof

Alright guys, Iv figured out another nice little mod to view both Samsung Apps & Google Playstore as a Note 3 on your mobile device, in my case my Galaxy S4.
You might be wondering why we would even want to do this ? At this stage Note 3's have access to exclusive APK's for example the app "Atooma" for the gear !
Your mobile device MUST be rooted. Also please keep a backup of your original build.prop.
Also I cant confirm this works on every device, although works perfectly fine on my Galaxy S4 i9505.
So lets dive straight into it.
1. Open/pull "/system/build.prop" from your rooted mobile device using a root file browser or adb.
2. Open file in a text editor.
3. Replace the default lines with the following:
Code:
ro.product.model=SM-N9005
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=hltexx
ro.product.device=hlte
ro.product.board=MSM8974
ro.build.description=hltexx-user 4.3 JSS15J N9005XXUBMJ3 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/hltexx/hlte:4.3/JSS15J/N9005XXUBMJ3:user/release-keys
4. Save changes.
5. Set permissions to your modified build.prop if they do not match with other files in the /system directory.
6. Navigate to "Settings -> Application Manager -> All -> Google Playstore" and "Clear data", "Clear cache" & "Force Stop".
7. Restart device.
You will now have access to Note 3 exclusive apps, I recommend downloading the apps you want and reverting the changes you have made to the build.prop.
What I have done is kept a backup of my original build.prop in the system partition and I just swap them around when I need to by renaming & restarting, remembering to clear data & cache of the Playstore !
Remember to hit thanks !

Is this only for 4.3? Or will it work on 4.2.2?

Unconfirmed, I would say only 4.3.. although you never know, just give it a try.
Worse case scenario if anything goes wrong just reflash your rom and it will revert all your changes.

What text editor did you use on your device? I'm trying to find one so I an try it out

I use root explorer, which includes a text editor.
I would recommend pulling your build.prop to your PC tho, so you can simply copy & paste.

just tried and when i try to replace the build with the modded one it wont keep the mod it reverts back to sgh-i337
im using 4.2.2 i think thats my problem.
thanks for the intel i will try it again when i get 4.3http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

If this works with earlier versions (pre-4.3) then this would remedy the issue that I and so many others have been having
with the Gear Manager application where it won't sync with the watch because it detects that you are using an "unsupported device".
I might try this out sometime...

accidental deletion of com.ws.dm package

Hi everyone,
I have a G925A 128 GB running 5.0.2 (OE2) and rooted with Ping-Pong. While attempting to block OTA update, I inadvertently
deleted com.ws.dm using Titanium Backup. I don't have a backup to restore the original. Consequently, the "Software Update" button is unresponsive. Consistent with this, I repeatedly keep getting a popup, which says that "Package name: com.ws.dm missing". This is annoying. I have tried a bunch of things to see if this will go away, but all in vain. Is there a way to restore this file? Any help would be most appreciated.

Download stock rom, pull said file from stock rom, push to your device and never delete again this can all be done using a root file manager right on your device

Thanks very much indeed JR for that tip. Would you please tell me where I can fetch the stock rom from? I have root explorer installed on my device. However, I am afraid that I have never used it for the said purpose.

Honestly if that doesn't work any of the roms in zip format in the development section will work, just navigate to the DL and through the system files to the one you deleted, extract from stock rom, copy and then paste into the same place you are missing the file. Set permissions to the same as the others in that file and reboot!

[GUIDE] Using Samsung Health on Devices With a Tripped Knox

First of all, I found this guide under the S7 Edge section on XDA. I tried it and it worked on my rooted A70, so I wanted to share it here.
There are two methods. One of them needs root access, and the other doesn't. I didn't try the one which doesnt need root access.
METHOD 1 (NEEDS ROOT)
1- Install a file explorer which can access and edit system folders.
2-Find build.prop and copy it.
3-Paste it to your main storage.
4-Open it with a text editor and go to the end of the lines.
5-You will see a line which says "ro.config.tima=1". Turn it into "ro.config.tima=0".
6-Save and copy new edited build.prop.
7-Paste it to it's original place and overwrite it.
8-Reboot your phone and check Samsung Health.
Rootless method is not working but if you want to test it, test it:
METHOD 2 (DOESN'T NEED ROOT)
I DIDN'T TRY THIS AND I AM NOT SURE IF IT WORKS
1-Uninstall the Samsung Health App.
2-Install Samsung Health version 4 https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/s-health/s-health-4-5-1-0011-release/s-health-4-5-1-0011-android-apk-download/
3-Launch the app and follow the steps to complete setup.
4-Update it via Google Play.
Thanks to @CuBz90

The non root method doesn't seem to work. App not installing.

Thanks for testing, I wasn't already giving it chance. I will note that it is not working.

How did you edit the /system? I am having trouble mounting it with read write privileges. My phone is rooted. Unable to "adb root" or mount system r/w. My multiple file explorer apps have had root access granted by magisk but I am still not able to replace it. I tried deleting it to see if I would be able to. I was able to but unable to paste the updated build.prop back into system. Had to reflash ??

I think you're having trouble with pasting (overwriting) the edited build.prop.
I am using FX File Manager with root addon. You can try it. And, do NOT forget to give read/write acces to fx. To do so, when you open /system section you will see a lock icon on somewhere (top right) as I remember. Click it and give permission. Then paste the edited build.prop onto the original one.
Write here if you have any other problem.

Samsung Health
It’s very strange - my old Lenovo tablet, A3300 a firmware ResurectionRemix, Android 7, calmly sees and sets Samsung health from the playmarket. WADW? (What am I doing wrong?):смех:
