For some reason after I installed a ROM I can't delete the wallpaper folder and LMT launcher from the device it just says file cannot be deleted... Why?

Try making sure the file permissions are set correctly. And that you have root access.

How do you set file permissions correctly?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Get a root explorer. Usually under properties. Read/Write

I doubt it's permissions, but you do need to Mount your system add writable. How that's done depends on the file explorer you're using.

What's a root explorer that's good for doing it?

also make sure you have updated busy box and SU or Super user binary files.. this can cause root permission issues..
I also recommend that you do some more research on the Android file system and root access. what it does and does not do.. With root access you can delete system files that run your There are articles all over the internet about these subjects.And should be something you read before you start being flash happy. Your not getting much help on this subject because the answer is something prob everyone who flashes knows up front.device...
Good Luck.. Please BE CAREFUL..
Thank you!

Try with permissions 644. Or if that doesn't work, do what you did before and cwm>clear dalvik cache.
Should work..

Not sure what you mean by permissions 644 but I wiped dalvik and even wiped cache neither one worked not sure what I'm doing wrong the this app isn't showing up.

Is this the file manager? Just wondering why you would use it if you have root explorer already?
I'm changing permissions with root explorer but myfiles is just a easy app to open up and see your ext sdcard or internal. But no one puts it in their gapps

What Rom are you using?
Liquid smooth
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure the stock my files app won't work on an aosp Rom, which your Rom is. Try OI File Manager. It's close to stock look, but works on aosp
I completely forgot about that been a long day. Thanks for reminding me.

I disabled camera(stock app) because am not using, since I'm using this other app as a default camera
Gallery app disappeared after that and I cant get it back
Doesnt show in apps (drawer and settings), Rom toolbox also doesnt see it
how can I get it back ?
How did you disable it?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
The reason the gallery disappeared when you disabled your camera is because they are part of the same .apk. I guess you should try reflashing your ROM.

Or adb the .apk to system/app and chmod to 644.

I don't understand this. How do I do it myself? Would it fix my problem? I deleted the stock gallery, and now I can't change my lock screen wallpaper.

Is your explorer rooted?
I am rooted and using IO file manager. Should I use something else?
Edit: Realized that IO doesn't support root access. Found that they are in /data using ES file explorer
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Not sure. I use ES Explorer. The only time I can't get into /data is if I forgot to root Explorer.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I use root explorer. Works just fine. Usually the installed apps that you downloaded or installed manually go in the data/app section

Step #1 is make a backup
If you've done that
Download something like root browser lite from the store
Navigate to system/app and delete the apps you don't want....
Be careful though
