Hello all,
I saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759537 about how to disable this annoying feature, but i had some question that i guess are quite noobish...
I'm new with android, and for what I've seen in that thread, i guess my firmware is not deodexed, because it has the "Phone.odex"...
Another thing: when i tried to copy the Phone.apk to system/app folder it said i dont have permission, that it is read-only. My phone is rooted at least.
Can anyone help me with this please??
use root explorer. it mounts any folder as read/write state

I just bought this application because I thought it's the best explorer for ROOT users. Currently I am running LeeDroid 1.6 Froyo, but I am having trouble trying to copy some audio (mp3) files into the /system/media/alarm. I have already enable the R/W option, but it just wont copy over?? The application has already superuseraccess right, so I am not sure what's wrong? am I the only one with this problem?? would really appreciate any help or workaround. Thanks.
I'm fairly new to android, and rooting and custom roms and all that i have an a500 with the minimalistic 3.2 rom, and but this has happened with any other custom roms or stock firmwares aswell (all rooted)..
Anyway, ill use this as an example, one time, and I was trying to install the samsung Ebook.apk and it required a separate sytem app, and everyone said move this other app (my files. Apk.) to system / apps and change permissions, I've tried with several file managers and it always says that it is read only,
This happens when trying to move files to other system folders... Isn't rooting supposed to give me access to these and let me edit files or put files there ect
I'm probably just stupid, but but any help would be appreciated

Can you just push the files with ADB and edit the permissions?
I could not get ES File Explorer to gain root permissions with the Minimalist Rom, but the ADB method worked for me (installing Polaris Office).
I've heard a lot about adb but have never used it.. Ill look it up and see if I can set it up... thanks
use root explorer. Great file manager and gives youba button to mount the filesystem r/w

You need to remount the relevant folders as read/write. Most file explorers can do it. Most people swear by Root Explorer, but that's pay software. I use ES File Manager, which is free.
Thanks a lot but but how do i change permissions with root explorer? I (i am supposed i change them to 644)

I could not get ES File Explorer to gain permissions with this rom.
Flashed CleanGB Rom v16 today and there is no AllShare app
After some searching I found the dlna.apk for allshare.
used ES File Explorer to place it in the system/app folder set the permission that where given in another thread
USER = READ + WRITE
GROUP = READ
OTHERS = READ
App starts but then force closes after 5 sec.
Also installed it with SDX Stock App Removal and did the same thing.
Im stuck at this point
is there any way to get it working?
I grabbed my allshare app off of this thread and it worked. It's for Deodexed Roms. I'm currently on ACS ICS 5.1.

From your post though, it looks as if that's the file you may have used?
yea thats the thread i was looking at
and i got the apk file from there.
anyone has any idea how to fix this?
All I did to get it to work was copy the file, and paste it into the system/apps folder with write permissions. then just reset your phone and it should have shown up in your launcher. should work since cleangb is deodexed.
where the permission the same ones i posted?
Captain obvious stand-in:
There is a Q&A subforum. This is obviously a question as your title denotes with the [Q], so try to utilize it in the future.
Make sure the file you're trying to push over fits your current rom's structure, such as odexed or deodexed. Move the file over with a file manager, like Root Explorer, and a restart may be required.
If that doesn't help you could always try using the "fix permissions" feature in CWM.
I don't know how it happened, but it appears that I have somehow changed the path that contains the ringtones. I was looking for them out of curiosity. Now, whenever I try to bring up ringtones, I get a directory listing of /storage/emulated/0. I can probably reset it properly, but I don't know they actually reside. I don't have root access, and I'm afraid that may be a problem in resetting the path. I'm thinking that's why a search with ES File Explorer can't find them, (or maybe I'm not searching for the correct extension). Can anyone offer any guidance?
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Regards,

Can't help you without root access. The correct path is:
/system/media/audio/ringtones
Edit* In doing some looking. Were you trying to add more ringtones? The folder you gave seems to be the downloads folder. Ringtones you add maybe be in another folder. For example it could be ...../emulated/ringtones
Another example would be any folder in your usable internal storage will come after the emulated/
Sent from my awesome AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 SGH-I337 using xda developers app.
I have always liked to change the read/write permissions on System/Media/audio/ui so that I can delete a couple of the sounds and then copy some from my sdcard to replace them, usually I use Rom ToolBox but since I got my S7 Edge I can't do it anymore regardless of the ROM.
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this please.
Will be appreciated
