If you are rooted, you set permissions via root explorer. Open root explorer, go to that apk folder and press the button in the top right corner of the screen. It will probably say r/o. After you press it, it should change to r/w.

I'm rooted, but no root explorer. Any other way?

Uh...download root explorer.
You could also do it through adb but I don't know the commands

Is there a free root explorer?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

No, but seriously it's like $4...thats less than 1/50th the price of this phone on contract, and you can use it with whatever phone you get next.

Yaffs explorer, super manager are both free root explorers..

What rom are you using?
You also have to rename the boot animation to what the old one was before you deleted it and change the permissions.

Im on the mik 2.59
I deleted what i thought was the animation but when i rebooted it still was there...i have no clue where toook i guess...and change permissions?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It may be in a different place on your rom, but on the rom im using, the boot animation is in system/customize/resource. Use root explorer to find it. Make sure you press the "Mount R/W" button at the top and change it to say "Mount R/O" so that way it will let you change permissions and stuff. Delete old boot animation rename yours to whatever the old one was, for example "bootanimation.zip" or htc_bootanimation.zip" After that, long press on your boot animation file and then press "permissions". Change to where it looks like this "rw-r--r--" In other words have "owner, group, and others" all checked on the "read" column. Then check mark "owner" again under the "write" column. That's all that needs to be check marked, uncheck everything else.

Idk how es file explorer is set up cause ive never used it, only root explorer and when i first open vthe app, i scroll all the way down abd there is a "system" folder. Make sue you are not in your sdcard folder. It should d have a "system" folder on there somewhere. Guess its hiding from you lol

I just downloaded es explorer and couldn't find the "system" folder. You may need to download root explorer.

Pushing a apk

I'm trying to push a apk with root explorer. Once I get to install it says app not installed. I changed R/W to R/O like I'm suppose to. And when I install the apk I go to system/app and I copy and paste. Any suggestions would be helpful thanks.

Use root explorer, works better. When you have pushed the apk to the correct location press and hold on the apk until a list comes up, click permission, then change it. It should look like this

It says unable to install or something else? Are you just clicking on the apk to install it or are you actually moving the apk to system/app then setting permissions?

I moved it to system/app and pressed it (not long pressed it) to install. Gives you 3 options, cancel, view and install.
