So upon plugging in my phone (newest iteration of clean rom) windows takes me into and lets me access the sdcard/ extension. I am trying to install an app by copy/pasting into the system/app directory but am unable to navigate to it via my computer. I'm unable to access it via root explorer because it says the folder is read only. anyone able to shed some insight into this situation?

In root explorer when you nav to /system, at the top you'll see a button that changes it from read only to read/write(see pic). If you wanna access /system from your computer you have to do it with adb.

Airdroid will also allow you to access the system folder from pc. Good luck
In cleanrom you can choose your file manager, each one has a different way of allowing your pc to write to storage, mount, umount, etc. Go through the settings and you will find what you are looking for.

When I browse my sd card, and try to open a specific folder using Root Explorer or the "Root Browser" tool in Rom Toolbox, the folder appears empty. However when I browse my sd card on my PC while connected to USB in disk mode, or with the Script Manager app, or while in recovery, the folder contains all the files I have placed there previously that I would expect to see. Permissions for the folder are set to "--xrwxr-x" just as all my other folders on the sd card are set to. I am rooted (obviously), running Deck's 1.3d with Tiamat 3.3.7, and using DarkTremors a2sd.
Any ideas why the files are not visible in certain apps?
Edit: see attached screenshots.

If you are connected to pc in sd card mode, you will not be able to see sd card contents

Yep, sorry, I edited my OP to reflect that.

You can always backup the contents, format the card, then move what you need back.
It might not fix it, but it definitely shouldn't hurt.

Thanks, plainjane. I will give that a try in the next couple days and let you know how it works out.
Problem solved: renamed the folder in question. Must have been a bad character that the explorer didn't like.

I have created a desktop folder with sub folders from the current version of ES3 file explorer as shown below.

The folder works but not as I wanted. I wanted it to work like I had setup on my first gen N7 where when I open a specific file such as a pic, vid, music, or data type.....it would then have the pop up window to select which app to use to open the file. I also was able to make an icon using the android icon of the main folder but now have no options of long pressing any desktop folder icons.
So now when I open up any of the files, they open up in the ES3 app showing the root tree. Did I not create the main "STUFF" folder in the correct spot of the root directory to act like I had it setup in my older N7? I had created that in my old setup from someones tip/help article that was passed around last year.
Or is this all from the newer 4.3 Android OS and just the way it works now?
Thanks for any help. I searched for some time trying to find that old setup guide on creating separate folders in specific locations of the root for saving downloaded files of various types for quick access and organization. I suck at understanding the android file system and how it all works, sorry.
Go to Settings >> Apps >> Your File Manager >> Clear Defaults

Hello everybody,
I just bought this tablet and I was looking for a way to root it.
Anybody knows if there's a known way? Would the root method for Xiron 7 work?
Antutu says "Have root access = yes" so I've tried to simply install super su but it won't work and Root cheker says that the device isn't rooted :/

ok, I did it
I used Uberizer with the choice c - 16/17/18 (in that order, I was just shooting blanks and I succeed XD)
Now I have an another big problem...
This tablet have a really good 12gb of internal storage but it is definitely useless...
I can't use it to install apps and nor I can't use SD to install app! No way to move apps into one of the two mount point.
The problem is that internal is "emulated"
I've already tried app as Folder Mount, Mount2SD and Root External 2 Internal but with no success.
Someone know a way to enable my tablet to install apps to NAND Flash (preferred) or at least onto SD Card?
or even how to redistribute the NAND to the Internal Storage (all of it)? Like I did with my Cubot One.
Thanks!!
Same problem here. impossible to install any app on sd card using this tablet. Please help.
Nevermind didnt see 2# post. sorry
I know there 's a ROM out in the dev section that fixes that, but I'd like to know how to do it manually, without flashing another ROM,,,can anyone help?
Thank you!
Is this what you're looking for?

You can download root toolbox and there is an option for it there.

Use Root Explorer.
Enable R/W
Go to /etc/permissions
Edit platform.xml as the bottom of the picture (add "media_rw" line).
Save and reboot

This is the only way it should be done.
Thanks all for the suggestions - I tried the geeksoft apk and it did the trick. Actually, the first one I tried probably worked also, but the app I was using wouldn't work (iTag)...but i switched to another (Mp3Edit) and that worked like a charm!
Incidentally, I opened that permission xml file to look at any changes, and it appears the line was added just as it should.
Thanks again!
