I downloaded a new boot animation. I'm trying to move it to /system/customize/resourses but es file explorer and Astros say file cannot be moved. I was able to move the original file out. Now I can't even move the original back. In ES I made sure the root explorer and mount file system boxes are checked. I have the permissions checked but still nothing can be moved in.

Does either of those apps have root permissions? Idk cuz I don't use them..but its easy to just use adb to manually push the file
I've never used adv to do this. Is there a how to somewhere?

I'm pretty sure that this app can accomplish what you're trying to do.

Thanks for the suggestion but this didn't work either. Says failed to move.

It's as if I can move or copy anything onto the SD card but nothing can be moved or copied from it.

Use Root Explorer. So worth the $2. I don't use astro or ES, but if you can't copy or move anything in or from the root directory then / is probably not mounted as r/w. Look for an option while in the root directory that says "mount as r/w"

Yep root explorer is your best option. adb push can be used to, but its command line only.
Well I know what caused me to have this issue but I do not know the details why.
I was running the Mikrunny Odex ROM with the Red theme. I wanted to give the Coredroid theme a try so I installed the theme and this issue started. After many hours of trying to fix this I restored my backup from a couple weeks ago that has the red theme and all is good again. To reduplicate the issue I reinstalled the Coredroid theme and the issue returned.
I use es file explorer and i have no issues moving things to the system folders whenever I want. If its not working you may try to uninstall and reinstall the app and then go to the settings and make sure you check browse as root and mount system as r/w.

I did try this a couple times but still could not get files to move.
Hmm.. have you tried to delete es file explorer from your allowed super user apps and then open es file explorer to give it super user permission again.

Yep, did that too. I think it had something to do with a theme I installed. When I restored a previous backup I could use ES just fine to move the boot animation file.

That's what i was telling myself. However, after restoring my backup, I installed the theme again and once again I could not move files into the system directory or any of it's sub directories.
Or is that an Acer issue?

Does kinda suck that you can't do that by default. If it's any consolation...why not do the memory swap from Crossix (if you haven't done so alreaedy)? I use a 32 gb with no issues at all on any rom...it takes all of two seconds...
The mod by Crossix would be great but I'm not rooted and don't really have the confidence to try.

You have nothing to worry about man...the tool from this site makes it completely simple...
but its up to you...keep reading the tutorials/guides in each of the post and you'll see that most of your concerns have been probably asked and answered...
I think the move to sdcard is a gingerbread thing. HC and ICS does not have this feature. You will have to root and use crossix mod for HC or the other ICS method derived from crossix mod.

Maybe this feature is disabled in tablet versions of ICS? My Nexus S phone is running ICS and I still can move apps to sdcard (usb storage) which is the internal sdcard like what this tablet has.

Maybe I will try it. I do read a lot, and it seems there are many different ways to root. But I also have spend time on the Droid Razr site so maybe I get confused between all the info between the two.
Can you tell me specifically the tool you are referring to that makes rooting the absolute easiest possible?
Thanks!

App to SD
I have been trying to use the mod by Crossix in order to move apps to my sd, but am so far unable to do so.
Using:
Acer Iconia A100
Android Version: 4.0.3
Kernel Version: 2.6.39.4-ICSOCTest+
Build Number: FLEX-100-REAPER-RF1-EXTREME-EDITION
I noticed that in the direction for installing the mod by Crossix, it shows the file as install_recovery.sh in the directions but is referenced as install-recovery.sh in a later/earlier post. The file I downloaded is the latter, install-recovery.sh
Someone please help?

It's install-recovery.sh and sits in /system/etc with permissions of
XXX
XXX
XXO
Works fine for me on any rom on the acer, and I've tried them all.
The concept is it tricks the Acer rom, by design it runs this script every boot to replace the stock recovery if a non stock or outdated recovery is detected, crossix just uses that design to run the mount swap instead, but can be used on any ROM, like CM9, with some slight changes.
After checking, that file is not in my tab anywhere... I have an init.goldfish.sh in my /etc folder, but no install-recovery.sh
my init.goldfish.sh file permissions are:
RWE
xox
xox
ooo
any suggestions? I'm down to 700mb of internal memory...

The file has to be added on modded roms like flex reaper, its removed so recovery isn't overwritten.

Ahh, OK. So, copy & paste to root of internal storage, copy to /etc & rename, adjust permissions then reboot and wait for results...? Is there anything else? I did try to adjust permissions on the external SD, but can't. Also, when rebooting, I'm shutting down and then powering back on, is that right?

Shouldn't need to rename it, and yes it goes into /system/etc. You can just reboot, you don't need to power down. Apps like quick boot will let you reboot without powering down, no clue why Acer left that option off.
So, copy install-recovery.sh to /system/etc. Check and set permissions like I said before, X checked O not checked, save permissions, reboot. Once you're back up wait about 30-45 seconds then check storage for internal to show your new storage.

It worked!!!
Thanks for the help! renaming it was obviously my misstep in the process.
Now to move everything from "external" to "internal" storage.
Thanks again for the Help!
I just did the Crossix mod and it worked fine for the most part. I lost all of my pics and videos. Also, when I try to change the Camera to the Storage Source of SD Card i get "insert SDcard before using the camera". Has anyone experienced this issue before and is there a fix?
Thanks.

I customized the UI sounds for the SGS3: Tick Effect & Keyboard sounds with that of WP7 tick sound and customized the camera / video button sound, etc.
Make sure you rename your stock UI sounds (Example: *tick_effect) before you over-right them.
Upzip / copy and paste in: System>Media>Audio>ui
Download:

What seems to be the prob? Just download the zip to your sdcard, unzip it, open root explorer, copy and paste the apk's you want to install and copy and paste them in: Root/System/app
Should be it. *might have to install it and or change permissions*
Awesome! I had to turn off the touch clicks and, since I hate haptic feedback, it's nice to be able to regain some response in the phone's UI.
Thanks.
If you want to further customize your UI to resemble WP7 here is the font.
Should be able to just install the apk and go to settings display and set font.http://db.tt/Wmgm3nST

when i try to rename the stock ui sounds so i can ad the new ones root explore says something about bricking my device lol can anyone give me the steps to do this correctly
Use root explorer, make the directory r/w, copy the sounds into system / media / audio / ui folder.... You will (or should be if you are doing it right) be overwriting pre existing files. Once done and you have overwritten the sounds you wanted to change, reboot phone.
You may need to rename the file if you want it represent/be used for another function. For example, inside the zip file there is a file names backspace.ogg..... Say you want to use it for the TW_touch.ogg sound.... You will need to rename it and all that. Only problem is by the time you cuztomize things to the way you like, a new updated rom is put out and you have to do it again!

It's just warning you because you are editing system settings. Renaming anything in the specified folder won't cause any damage.
ok so i unzipped the file on my sd card extracted to a folder i named ui on the sd card....now when i try to copy the files and move them to the system ui folder it says copy of all files failed..i mam using es file explorer

Use Root Explorer, other file managers won't have permission to change system files. With Root Explorer you will also need to select Mount R/W to be able to write to the system folder.
Make sure you rename all the original files if you ever want to use the original sounds again...I just went back to AOSP lock/unlock sounds, the WP7 sound was a bit sharp.
all worked as soon as i got root explorer thanks guys, am dissapointed though as i am looking to get away from the drip and water sounds, i guess i want a more iphone like sound for typing and lock and unlock without having the iphone....any ideas

You can replace them also... Just need to identify the sound files you want and the name(s) of the files to replace... Easy peasy.....

I assure you, you wont brick your device from just renaming a sound file. I do it all the time. Maybe its for when you try and rename a needed framework or system file.

My brother has a kindle and side loaded a game that isn't on the kindle store yet (svz2). He's has the data files and the apk. He installed the apk but we can't find where to put the date file. It says to place it in the obb folder. I went into android folder and didn't see an obb, so i created one and put it in to no avail. I was wondering if it went somewhere else on the fire or if its just not gonna work.
This is a first gen kindle that's not rooted.
Ok you need to be rooted and have something like es file explorer with superuser rights to put that data in the correct folder just making a folder will not work

Have you tried just making your audio into .ogg file type and pushing into place?
Steps:
Make or get the sound you want to use.
Get Audacity (free program) on your computer.
Use Audacity to export your desired audio into "ogg" format.
Name the file PowerOn.ogg.
In your phone, go to system/media/audio/ui/ folder... if PowerOn.ogg is there, rename it in case you want it back. Then push your newly created PowerOn.ogg file into that location, make sure the file permissions are the same as the others in that folder, and reboot.
Does this work?

Hmm. Did you name the file PowerOn.ogg? I believe it's case sensitive, so if poweron.ogg was what you tried, retry with PowerOn.ogg... Last idea: I don't have a ROM to look at, but you can search or someone can reply to confirm that's the right destination folder for PowerOn.ogg in AOSP JB, or just try a few others - system/etc/ or up in system/media/ where bootanimation,zip should be. That's all I've got. Good luck, bud.
Just tried that. No power on there but even when placed it still doesn't work. I changed permissions as advised, still no $. I'm running slim bean btw
