I recently installed the MIUI rom on the GT-i8160 and I'm gonna cut to the chase. I enabled root permission on that rom. I installed ES File Explorer and opened it. When I clicked on 'Root Explorer' a message popped up saying something like 'sorry but this service has failed'
Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

I've updated my father's phone from 2.2 to 2.3.6 and he is missing the Daily Briefing app. I've read a lot of forums but nothing is working for me. I've rooted his device, put the apk into the system/app but it still not working!
Anyone who has XXJVU 2.3.6 and had the problem, and then could somehow fix it please share it with me!
Thanks!!
Try using a root file explorer (such as ES file explorer) to put the app into /system/app and then set the permissions to executable (Basically tick all the permission boxes)
In ES, long press on the file, go to properties in the menu that pops up and from there change the permissions.
I will try this, and hope it will work.
Hi,
I have a galaxy s2 from sprint...I rooted it last month with the latest ver of ICS at that time. (Fh13 i think)
anyway, 3 days, my phone downloaded the OTA update for ICS and it EVEY 2 MINUTES, there is a pop up asking me to install or install later.
I have done the following:
1. downloaded fotakill.apk and copied it to my sd download folder and instlaled/ran...did nothing. ( i cannot copy this file to /system/apps - error: "read only" )
2. tried to disable fotaupate.apk / fwupgrade from applications/all from andriod settings menu... this did not work.
there is no fotaupdate.apk app and no fwupgrade.
So, can anyone help me get rid of this stupid pop up msg ??

I am assuming that you also tried the zip file in the thread about how to disable OTA updates? I created one of the zips that worked flawlessly and it has been updated and I have also used that zip without issue.... Just search Google or this section and yee shall find
Edit: Also you would need root explorer or es file explorer to gain r/w access to your system/app folder to transfer and set permissions.... All this information is out there for you. I understand you may be new but please understand its good to actually read up on your phone before you root it and potentially destroy because you of lack of knowledge.
Sorry man no disrespect just know this is a tricky phone to mess with and you should be careful
ok..i have gave es file explorer root access and i was able to move fotakill.apk to root/system/app and install frm there. i also renamed the .zip file to .zip.bak. i also deleted the ota update file from /cache
also i deleted sprint installer using titanium backup
and deleted systemupdate app
after all this...still.. im getting ota update notification
Go to recovery and wipe cache. Its still in there which is why its still giving you the prompt

I am running Paranoid Android 4.5 beta. I am trying to copy a sound file to /system/media/audio/notifications but it fails. I have root and I made sure it is mounted as R/W in root explorer but I can't do it. I can copy a file to my 'ringtones' folder. Any thoughts?
I just think its the way KK handles things...try different apps
I tried es file explorer and the terminal emulator and the error is it's a read only file system even though Root explorer says it is read write. Does anyone know how to change it?

I fixed this problem on my note 10.1 gnabo rom with an xposed module. Now I can use my sd how I want not how google thinks I should
Any other thoughts?

Ok, this may be the wrong place, but I'll ask in the hopes that someone knows the answer.
I just upgraded my M8 to the Developer Edition Lollipop build and got everything up and running. My phone is S-off/Bootloader unlocked, but other than root, is bone stock. (Literally - I reapplied the 4.4.4 RUU followed by the 5.0.1 OTA)
ES File Explorer keeps popping up a "hint" when I try to do anything on the external SD card and opens up a "Documents" folder. However, when I follow the instructions, Documents force closes and returns me to the file manager. Since I am S-off, it completes the operation anyway without error. I can (once I get past that window) copy/delete/paste/create files on the external SD card at will, either from ES File manager or via USB on the PC.
Is there any way to disable the hint and stop ES File Explorer from popping up that Documents folder?
Does anyone have any info on this? I'm interested also, having the exact same issue after upgrading to Lollipop 5.0.1 on my unlocked Galaxy S4 SHV-E470S. I love using ES File Explorer for everything, but this definitely makes things somewhat annoying
Since im currently on CM12, im wondering why does LG system applications not install themselves even though you have already fixed the directory and the file with the right permissions?
And, when you tap on the APK and try and install it, it says Application Not Installed
I was curious and tried pulling QuickSetSDK from stock lollipop firmware and pasting it into system/app on CM12 and it wouldnt work one bit
