i am trying to delete a file through root explorer, without any luck. it's the flashable .zip voltage tweak from chad's kernel. as i haven't yet posted 10 times, i can't ask in development, so here is what i'm trying: mounted as r/w etc, then init.d, then i hit 95havsvdd to delete it, and it says "cannot be deleted because the file system is read only". chad said you can use root explorer to delete the file, so i purchased it for that reason. any help would be greatly appreciated. yes, i did search first...thanks
nvm, i figured it out!

I need to reinstall task manager 1.1 (com.sec.android.app.controlpanel.apk) I installed 1.5 and it is not working for me. I have another phone with 1.1 but can not find the file with android commander. If someone could please post the file or tell me ware it is located it would be most helpful.
/system/app/jobmanager.apk
Thanks so much
So I downloaded the jobmanager.apk from the system dump file suggested on this forum, which was found over at android central. I place the file in the root of my SD card and use astro file manager to install. I get "this application can not be installed" error messenger. I attempted to install with android commander, this really messed my phone up and I had to do a nand restore. I know I'm a noob but I have no idea whey this is giving me trouble.
OK so I know why I could not do this. I need us use root explorer as described in another post to copy the file to the system/app directory. Then change permissions for the file with root explorer.
I am at a loss. I have found a thousand people on the interwebs that seem to have this problem but I have been unable to find a single solution.
I have searched these forums and every other android forum I can find. Hopefully I'm not posting this in the completely wrong forum but at this point I'm so fed up I'm seeing spots.
I want to use File Expert. I like it, it's pretty, it SEEMS like it might be useful to a person who wants to copy/move files.
But, it just says "operation failed" when I try and copy files into a system directory. (I have some ringtones, alarms, etc that I want to be available even if I'm in usb storage mode so I like to move them into the system directory).
I can move the files from a terminal emulator (pain in the you know) but Root Explorer (ugly) is the only file manager I can find that actually works to move them.
Am I stuck with Root Explorer or is there something I can do to get other file managers to actually work?
Yes I have enabled the root exploring function in File Expert and every option that i believe is applicable. I also like Anttek (quite visually appealing to me) but it doesn't work either.
Try es file explorer you have to have root permissions to move system dir apps and so forth in the settings of es file go down and check root explorer and mount the system as writeable and all your issues will be solved

Thanks for the quick reply and I will be happy to try ES File Explorer, but why would that work if File Expert (which also claims to be able to mount r/w) doesn't?
Is there really only just ES and Root Explorer that properly get root privileges?
Not sure? I guess so :/

Oh well ES works and it looks pretty good so i suppose I'll use that. Thanks.
Maybe the other file managers did not obtain superuser permission properly, or don't like the new version of busybox, or just don't like Epics...but Biggie steered you the right way.
^^^^^^^^^ edit: you beat me^^^^^^^^
I know in es file explorer you have to go into the apps settings to give the app root permissions so it can get to /system and all that jazz. Maybe file expert has the same deal in the apps settings.
I am trying to use clock work mod to instal custom rom.... I am running the latest ics release rooted and unlock...
you need to download root explorer
then go to "/etc"
then click "Mount R/W" on the top of the screen,
and then delete install-recovery.sh
What is the question?
If you ARE rooted you need to install a file manager (Ex. Root Explorer), set R/W and either delete or Rename the file. Suggest you simply rename by adding a .bak to the end of it.
Once this is complete flash the recovery image through fastboot.
BTW .. you could have posted this in the Clockwork thread and the instructions I gave above are already there.
Edit: LOL ... I must type too slow. In 7 minutes you got three identical answers.

Make sure you mount the system as r/w.
Let me start by saying that i do not take credit, by any means for this fix, i did use the SEARCH tool and found the solution. What i'm doing is posting a faster/easier fix for the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2196200
All of the help i read, is from this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102981&highlight=miui+camera.
Our common issue was that each time we flashed an AOSP ROM(for me the new MIUI PORT FROM SPRING TO SHG3 TMO) the camera wouldn't connect, and that's a deal breaker. Im sure it was for many of you. (I'm a noob, just giving a heads up, and this is why i have to post here rather than the first thread, being understandbly limited and all) As the 2nd of the two threads says, the issue is that on stock rom there is a bin file named SlimISP_ZH.bin, once flashed, it's no longer there, causing the camera to simply not connect. I odin'ed back to stock(because i didn't have access to the bin file), used ES File Explorer to "copy" the SlimISP_ZH.bin file into my external sd card, then i proceeded to flash to the MIUI ROM of my choice, after setting up the phone, using ES File Explorer again, i placed the bin file on the /data directory. If a mod can confirm it's ok, i'll be more than happy to upload the bin file to make it easier. Oh one last thing i changed permissions, so it should show as rw-r--r--

How do you change permissions? Do I need to be rooted? Do I need busybox?

Yes you need to be rooted. No you do not need busybox. Use ES File Explorer. Better yet, try Fix Permissions in Custom Recovery.

I keep trying to edit build.prop on my 5x as I've done on previous devices in the past. Going through file explorers setting it to Rw doesn't actually change it. Does anyone know how to actually set it as rw so it can be modified? I'm trying to add eis, if anyone else has tried.
Thanks!

are you sure you are properly rooted? what method did you use?
do other root apps work as intended, which file explorers are you talking about, are you on stock?
just asking, since there are root procedures around through which you funnily enough end up with a r/o rooted device. also the more relevant information you give, the easier it is to help.

I followed a guide in November, don't remember which. All done through adb. All root apps work fine, xposed, titanium Backup, etc. I've tried stock, es file explorer and FX file explorer. Also for giggles I tried Rom Toolbox Pro. Also, in twrp it does say I'm not encrypted.
When trying to edit the file, it only gives me a cannot modify file error.

Did you mount system rw before trying to edit the file?
In ES it's under Tools > turn root explorer on, then tap it and mount rw
Same for me...

Using ES worked perfectly. No other actually worked. Many thanks!
