A few days ago I rooted my GNexus, now apps can't access the internal storage. I can't take pictures, and I can't download from the internets. I've tried AOKP and ParanoidAndroid.

You can do that by installing ROM manager then scroll down and click on fix permission

I've tried fixing permissions twice, first by using CWM Touch, and then with ROM Manager.
Nothing works.

What?
It's a Linux command.
It changes the ownership of files and folders.
If you have any other directories/files that you can't modify or delete, then boot into CWM recovery, plug in the USB cable, go into adb shell. Also make sure that /data is mounted in the CWM mounts menu. Then:
cd /data/media
chown -R media_rw.media_rw *

No.
Then it must be a permission / owner issue.

I've seen the post for the custom boot animations for the gnex but I get confused on how to install them on my phone. Is there an easier way I could do it like by flashing it through CWM?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
There's really no need to flash boot animations... just drop the bootanimation.zip file in /data/local
Code:
> adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
Where do find that?

Or just download the bootanimation.zip from whatever post you want and then copy it to /data/local/ using your favorite on-device file manager.
The whole .zip file?

Interesting... ive always placed them in /system/media/ though with your way you can easily revert the stock anni.

And it doesn't get overwritten with a ROM flash.
I'll take this opportunity to post the two stock bootanimation, one is the original android logo, the other is the google logo.
I keep getting lost. All I need to do is place the zip file in the data/local and its set?

Use fastboot to reflash cwm, if you want.

Yes, permissions will come back, they're set on init.rc.

As you can see, /sdcard/ and /mnt/sdcard are symlinks of /storage/sdcard0.

which twrp version are you using? i used cwm 6.x after getting issues on flashing JRO03C; didn't have issues accessing my device through adb. A user over @TWRP thread suggested updating to 2.2.x.
have you tried fully wiping the device with fastboot? including userdata? then reflashing cwm, booting to recovery directly from bootloader, push rom over with adb, and reflashing rom?

I am trying to edit some stuff in the system, but root explorer won't mount, if i press the mount r/w nothing happens. I have also tried es explorer with the "mount file system" checked and i just get a "sorry, operation failed". I am rooted and have given them both su permission. I tried having su forget the apps and regive them permission, didn't help. Rebooted, fixed permissions and still a no go. Any one have any ideas? I am running stock rom and kernel.

Other people have been having this problem with nand restores too. The only solution I've seen is a wipe and fresh install.

So here is a great F*ck on my part.. i formatted system, data, and cache without having a rom ready to install saved on my phone..... How do i push a rom to cwm so i can install it?
Use the gnex toolkit to flash the stock ROM. Its in the first sticky.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Or if you can set up adb for your phone. Just download a rom and push it to your sdcard

What he said.That is a simple skill everyone that flashes roms should have. Avoid tool kits if possible
You can also mount your pc to storage from cwm and just copy a Rom zip to your storage.

just a note, if you're talking about mounting /sdcard/ in cwm to see the "sdcard" on OS file explorer: afaik, that won't work. only adb will work.
if 'adb push file /sdcard/' doesn't work in recovery, use 'adb push file /data/media'
like people said before, can't get any simpler than this.
So I'm new to the s3 I successfully rooted and installed cwm. I made a back up of my stock 4.1.2 ROM but when I installed a new ROM my back up went away. On my previous phones in cwm when you wipe data it didn't wipe any backup. Now it did. How can I prevent this from happening and and does anyone please have a 4.1.2 stock t mobile ROM cwm backup!? Would be very much appreciated

It should be on the root of the internal storage. To prevent this, stick to one version of the os. No one is going to give you their backup/nandroid. Go through the development section, there's a few 4.1.2 stock Roms with root.

It would be under the /0 if op made the backup after flashing and booting up the ROM.

What do you mean stick to one version of os. Does anyone have a backup without logging in to a gmail account. So its completely stock
Sent from my SCH-R760 using Tapatalk
In my past experience with cwm wiping data always wiped the internal storage.. So one way to prevent it from happening is to make backups to the external sdcard instead of internal.. I don't know how it works now because I've been using twrp for a while now.. And there is stock ROMs in the development section, you can just download one and flash it

Normally rom backup is secured and will not be wiped
You can download es file explorer and give root permission
Go to /device,- mnt folder - shell folder - you will find cwm folder and in that backup folder containing your all backup
Try it
