Im new at this, just rooted my phone yesterday . Im trying to download the sprint navigation apk because, well, i like it. Ive read other posts and they all talk about using chmod and i honestly have no idea what that is. If you could tell me how to change system/app folder permissions to read write instead of just read so i can move the .apk in that folder thatd be great

Download ES File Explorer from the market. Go into settings and root options. Check the Root Explorer box, the HIAPK will already be checked. Then check mount file system. When you are all done, before exiting go back and uncheck mount and root, or you may have trouble running it a second time reading the sd card. Not all have this problem.
You can also just install the Sprint Nav apk conventionally to data. It doesn't have to be in system/app.
Thanks Kenny...worked perfectly. Used it to remove the camera shutter file in system/media/audio/ui so the camera wouldn't make noise when taking pics. It was an r only file.
from the headline, where is it? am i blined?
anothre thing, where do i find the build.prop file in the system folder, so i can change the lang in my phone?
thanks for any help.
p.s
sorry for any english mistake-not my prime lang.
Hi
To view system folder u will need root explorer or similar file manager. Inside the system folder is build.prop
Ordinary file managers will only show SD content.prob why you can't see it, there is prob a free file manager also but I only use root explorer as I find it very good.
Hope that helps

i use ASTRO file manager. am i loking at the wrong place?
Astro only views SD card contents, you need one that will view phone file s
The system folder is on ur phone not SD
Download file expert from market that's free
Open it ,on local tab just press back arrow in top right corner, then click the back slash this will bring you too all files.
Then click system
Hope that helps

you are great! works fine.
how can i replace it with another build.prop file from my PC?
Not sure from PC assume it would be thru adb but I don't no much about it
U can do it manual just put it on ur SD then copy and paste it to ur system folder ,make sure permissions match the original
Try root browser lite its free and works much better than file expert allows copy paste moving and permission changes.
Long press on files for all options

Can´t use es explorer. Always if I move, my phone freeze
From other ROM is call this keyboard "AXT9IME.apk" so I have moved in to system/app used root explorer, but if I want move from my ext card apk, is write: can´t move because is just for read. If I want install normal apk from my card folder, always I see, Instalation....than instalation not done!

mount r/w!!!! its a system app you cant use package installer!!
Sent from my GT-I8160
What is package installer? Root explorer? Es explorer dont work in my phone. So what cam i do for mount rw and how?
... just use explorer(free ver of root explorer) and mount r/w(dont ask me where it is. its VERY obvious) and copy/past into system/app

Okey, used Explorer... You cannot paste here because the file system is read-only!
thats all what I see if I want move
edit:
well, I have moved app by Es Explorer in app system folder.. Now If I want install it, will see installation......app is not installed....
edit2: I have restart my phone, my apk AXT9IME is in system/app folder, whan my phone start, tell me: samsung keyboard can´t work
System change read only. How do it
some idea?
For Stock Rom you need rooted phone.
There are many apps, you can use e.g. "Root Explorer" from Play Store.
I think there is a free version available.
Procedure for Root Explorer:
1. copy wished .apk to Storage on phone.
2. start Root Explorer
3. go to .apk you want to copy in system/app
4. select it and copy
5. go to system/app
6. in upper bar in the middle you can see mount status. (-ro)
7. change it to -rw by clicking on it and select item -rw
8. Superuser app flushes: grant access
9. Paste .apk in system/app
10. Restart your phone and have fun.
Feel free to ask if further problems occurs.

App probably not compatible. And free version of root explorer ( explorer) is already mounted r/w
EDIT: im pretty sure root explorer asks for root access on first startup

Yes! Is true, not compatible, I have folowed guide from teddytsen, all right, but after reboot after my phone freeze and tell me AxT9IME.apk (samsung keyboard) can´t work and stop!
I tested deodex .apk too and same problem always. And if I use Uninstaller Master and see in System apps, there is way to AxT9IME.apk normal- /system/app/AxT9IME.apk, but there is write "2.3.6"!
I want just same as I writed in my first message in atachement. But I don´t know if exist any compatible apk with my Stock or Custom ROM (I have problem with this in both).
In 4.1.2 JB is poor 3x4 grey keyboard... Don´t want it, maybe better downgrade

What will you copy?
The common method is to use a root explorer(ES or any root explorer)
Give root access to the app.
Copy and head to system/app/, then paste.
Change permissions to rw-r--r--.
Then reboot.

Hello, just like what @erljayp said.
If you're confused about changing permissions, i recommend using root explorer, go to ROOT and Then System and then App and paste the thing u want there.. once u press paste, root explorer will ask smthing about permissions, press yes.
Btw how did u get aircommand? Did u flash the Note 3 Apps MOD ROM? Or did u get it sepperately? If u succeed in getting aircommand please share.
Give me a thanks button if i helped!

es explorer
to do that you need to root your device and then use root explorer or es explorer..es explorer is free,just download it from playstore..open es explorer.then press the icon on the upper left,then press the root explorer,press the mount r/w..set the value to rw both path and system then you're ready to copy or paste any files in the system
