flashplayer 10.3 not working on rooted evo

my flashplayer 10.3 isnt working never did,on rooted 2.2 evo please help,, thank you!!

Uninstall the update then uninstall flash player (the one that was part of the rom). Then navigate to system/lib and delete libflashplayer.so (I think thats the name of it but I forget) if it is still there. Then download and install flash from the market. That should fix it.

You can use either root explorer or terminal emulator. You would need titanium backup to uninstall the flash that came with the rom.
If you don't have root explorer here are the terminal commands. Press enter after each command.
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd system/lib
ls
After entering ls you will see a list of all the files in this directory. Look through it and find the one file that says libflashplayer.so
If you have libflashplayer.so then do these next commands
Code:
rm libflashplayer.so
mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
If you don't have libflashplayer.so just issue the mount command to set the system back to read-only (mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system).

i have rootexplorer and i got i deleted,did not use titanium,but my 10.3 player sits in my apps just saying uninstalling.no date,no force stop nothing....

I had the same problem.. I deleted the app and went to explorer and deleted the folder and reinstalled.. works fine now

after the 1 click root - not able to mount some directories in root explorer?

I used the post to install the one click root for the samsung epic 4g (sprint), and it appears to have worked. However - after entering root explorer, only some of the directories allow me to edit files. I click the remount as r/w button but nothing happens. Any thoughts?

Are you sure you granted root permissions to root explorer when it first ran? Run the superuser app from the app drawer and see if root explorer is on the list of apps that are allowed root permission.
I just tried v2.17.2 and it works fine. I tried changing the permissions on /system/xbin/busybox, it said filesystem mounted ro, then I press the mount rw button and redid the permission change, this time it worked no problem.

Thanks for your response-
yes, when i ran root explorer it asked if i wanted to grant superuser and i said yes. some folders allow it to remount, but - say the /system/bin folder - it doesnt allow it at all.

for further background, i used the automated instructions here for my root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
i did option A like 5 times and also did option C (as i have EK02).
When opening root explorer it tells me that i have super user permissions. one thing to note- if i go to /system/xbin, i do not see a busybox directory. is there something else i should be installing?
in fact, i cant mount anything under the system directory or sub directories, but above that, i was able to change to r/w mode. i could also mount the /vendor directory right beside the /system directory...

If you were able to remount "/" as r/w then the problem isn't with root. That is basicly an "I'm a little bit pregnant situation" Either you are or you aren't.
Now if you weren't able to get root in the first place, then I'd look at the root.
As to busybox, there is no directory. There should be a file /system/xbin/busybox Also there should be a bunch of symlinks from various apps it supports to busybox.

I see - yea i did validate that busybox is not allowing for a mount or any type of change on that file/directory including busybox but the file is present. any suggestions on what else may be locking down this system directory?

I don't know if root file explorer is implemented it's own concept of ro/rw to protect you from making mistakes or it is using the system facilities. If it is using the system facilities, then once you remount /system as rw, then everything under /system is automatically rw. It is all the same partition.
I would try it from "adb shell" (do not type $ or # symbols)
Code:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system /system
# cd /system/xbin
# chmod 755 busybox
If it lets you do that with no errors, then you have remounted /system/xbin as rw and the problem is with root file explorer. For that, you'd have to check with them or someone more well-versed in why that might be failing.

i appreciate your help
I went off googling the adb stuff/installed it and java's jdk stuff. then figured out how to run that adb shell stuff and validated that it worked (permissions were changed in places that this app didnt allow). knowing that the problem is actually with root explorer helps a ton.. as I just assumed it was working

Alternate keyboard for KF 6.3.1?

aruangra said:
This approach works with non-smart keyboards.
1. Install your preferred keyboards from Market
2. Use ES file explore (with Root feature and RW mount enabled in the advanced setting) or use Root Explorer to copy the keyboard .apk file from /data/app to /system/app
3. Reboot and select the keyboard by pressing and holding at any text input box.
4. (optional) Sideload and install "Nookcolor Tools" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868366. You will have an option to set keyboards.
So far this method does not work with
- SlideIt
- Thumb keyboard (thanks fr4nk1yn)

I have neither a /data/app folder nor a /system/app folder... My KF is rooted (I'm successfully using the Google Play store, permanent Live Wallpapers and Avast Mobile Security Anti-Theft with root access) so I don't really understand why I am missing those folders. I can even create them without any complaints by Windows, there are no hidden objects. Did the 6.3.1 update change the folder structure?
Can anyone help me?

Okay, while I have still no possibility to access the root level via Windows, I managed to access it with the ES File Explorer (I had to change a setting to make the root level visible).
Now I have a /system/app folder and a /data folder - but unfortunately no /data/app folder; the /data folder is empty!
Furthermore I cannot copy APK-files in the /system/app folder. I get informed that the copy process failed, if I try to. Shouldn't normally a popup of the Superuser app show up with the option to grant root access?
I'm looking forward to any help! Thanks in advance.

I don't like to push threads, but... is there really no one able to help me?

When all else fails, reinstall the ROM.

Uhm, I did not install a custom ROM. Or do you mean, that I should reinstall the stock ROM?

Oh, in that case, I'm sure its your ES File Explorer that is messed up. If you have Terminal Emulator, you can check to see what directories you actually have. Enter:
ls /system
...and...
ls /data
I'll be willing to bet you they are still there.

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ ls /system
lost+found
app
bin
build.prop
etc
fonts
framework
lib
media
tts
usr
vendor
xbin
$ ls /data
opendir failed, Permission denied
$
That's what Terminal Emulator says...
How is it possible that I can open /system without having permission for /data?

Type :
$ su
$ ls /data

Thanks a lot! I now can see the contents of /data via Terminal Emulator.
But how can I grant superuser permission to ES File Explorer?

App called emoji switcher

Hello
There is a app called emoji switcher. I don't like the Android MM emojis. and that app will change it to Lolipop or ios emoji.
This app did work fine on oxygen 3.2.2. Today i did update oxygen from 3.2.2 to 3.2.8. and the app wasn't working. i did figure out i can do this manual to by moving the file to system/font folder or system/data/ folder don't know which one it was.
But when I copy paste it it says operation failed by Rootbrowser paid version from speed software. And es file explorer gave me the error "read only file system". both app got root premision. I did read on the internet "try to delete apk files in system/app folder" I did try that to but i can't do that to....
Can someone help me ?

You need to mount /system as r/w otherwise you wont be able to modify it, even with root.
