[Q] need help copying files in root folder - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i m looking for a easy way to replace some files in system\teen\ folder
can i do it in (system recovery mode) like how we can root a phone using system recovery\apply update from sd card and the select update.zip
or any other easy way ???????????????/

Finally! I thought nobody will make thread with that very important question, thank you, you are my savior.
Waiting is over, yeah!
Btw, teen folder? You want to put some porn there or something like that?

Just use something like Root Explorer or SD Maid (need root access) then reboot afterwards, don't forget to give the right permission when changing a system file.
And for God sake, don't start a new thread for one question, unless you want to discuss something important. There's too many threads spamming our forum these days...

The file has to be renamed 'PG76IMG.zip'
And it should be placed in the root directory, don't forget to remove it once your finished or it will scan and ask you to update each time you enter bootloader
Yup ur right I missed this word

Bootanimation- Android Andy pees on Apple- My favorite

Here is a resized version of the android pee on Apple bootanimation that I found on the Rom toolbox but for some reason wouldn't display on my note 2 even if I resized within the application.To me it's much better lookin than the fat tinkle peeling droid that I found here and its resized correctly. Credit goes to the original animation author which I have no clue whom that may be.
Here's the sample I uploaded to YouTube for you guys
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vphIEzGJuno&feature=youtube_gdata_player
are u rooted? if yes... then do these steps verbatim to change your boot animation on your note 2.
STEP 1: download THIS file and do NOT extract it or anything (use your computer or phone... its like 100mb so i reckon you best be on WiFey to be safer from a broken dload)
STEP 2:
if using your computer to download , plug ur phone in to mount usb and moved the file to your sd card or your internal memory [ EX:Computer\SPH-L900\Phone or Computer\SPH-L900\Card ] (OR use a program like Android Commander to make things a little easier and put the file directly into the /system/media directory of your phone.... hint:the 'system' folder is located in the PARENT FOLDER of your SDCARD directory .... aka your ROOT directory)
if downloaded using your phone browser.... just use any root file manager (eg:I use ROM Toolbox Pro's Root file Browser,but there are dozens of other app like root explorer, ES File Explorer File Manager, ASTRO file Manager i think works too if u have the pro version but dont hold me to it) and use the Move to or the Copy To feature within any of those apps to move the file manually to your /system/media/ directory. You can just overwrite the one that is already there or just add a .bak or .EAD or .GTH to the end of the file name of the file you wanna backup thats already there BEFORE moving the new Android Peeing animation you downloaded in the first step.
IMPORTANT- DO NOT RENAME OR EXTRACT THE ZIP FILE YOU DOWNLOADED IN STEP 1... the file MUST BE NAMED bootanimation.zip
STEP 3- Using your root file managing joint appy proggy thingys Permissions editor (normally u just long click the file you wanna set permissions for and the edit permissions option will pop up somewhere) set the pemissions (or verify them) to this...
OWNER- READ WRITE
GROUP- READ
OTHERS- READ
or another way of saying this is RW-R--R--
Step 4 - SAVE or ACCEPT changes....
Step 5 - Reboot to make sure bootanimation is changed
Step 6 - Reboot again in a busy elevator or place where some iPhags can see over your shoulder.... and grin maliciously. :angel:
Step 7- :highfive: click the thanks button if u want or pm me if u have some bitcoins u managed to accumulate somehow and wanna donate em to me
BOSS!!!
Awesome

i noticed the file was already labeled "bootanimation.zip" so i copied it as it as renaming the original. the only thing about my phone is that im running MacksROM All Star 2.5 rather than stock but i dont think that would make any difference.

hmm.... try redownloading the file and replace the file u just tried with the one u just downloaded and then rename as necessary. i dont think ma7 changed the location of where it fetches the boot ani.... but im still running LjC. but running macks rom 5.0 which is basically the same rom as the allstar rom you are using minus without the Ma7 goodies. but anyway try what i mentioned real quick and see if maybe it was just a corrupt or incomplete download or transfer to your device if u used the computer. meantime ill see whats involved in making it a flashable zip or if my feeble mind cant wrap itself around how that works... maybe someone here will post a flashable version for ya. :fingers-crossed:

Weird. I didn't have to change any of the permissions...I even checked before rebooting that the permissions were the same. And they were already. Glad you got it sorted out.

[Q] PIT?

HI,
can anyone help me? I'm searching all over the net but without any result. Does anyone have a PIT file for Galaxy Ace 2 i8160P? I heard it is possible to extract it from a working model. I flashed it with a wrong file (i didn't somehow pay attention and flashed it with PIT for classic i8160) and now the phone works, but I can't call, it doesn't accept the SIm card... And I have no Idea how to go back...
thanks a lot.
you need a copy of tee folder files from 8160P.then paste to your system/lib

It will help to flash a complete Rom with Flashtool.

Isn't it the same when he cannot find the directory or folder not there? Only problem is if he even bothered to search thoroughly.
To OP:
If you still have problems finding the folder, don't bother looking for it. Just do a fresh install of the stock ROM using flashtool and you should be able to fix it. Note that this method will wipe your user data and remove your root, so you will need to root your phone again after that.

You can still use Titanium Backup to back up any apps and their data, including the save data for games.

You can't flash an apk, and you don't even need root, just go to settings>security>unknown sources and tick it, afterwards u can open apks and install them.

I won't.say that it's impossible but in practical terms, no. I haven't seen anyone post a script or app to do this. Normally you need root to manipulate the filesystem. It can actually be done by way of various exploits but it's simply easier and more useful to root a device.
