Does any one have any ideas of why if I have added these items in the correct location the would play on as the T-Mobile jingle in the ringtone directory of /system/media/sounds/ringtones. I am copying them in using ES file explorer, have root, and mounted the system as RW. Any help or other method to getting them added would be awesome. Thanks!

If you're looking for stylus functionality from your tablet. You'll need to root it and use the app and tweaks found here.

Also worth doing if don't use stylus, you'll have a much more snappy tablet.

- still kind of new to this, but i know how to read. Any idea's
You need to enable superuser in es file explorer under settings, i use root explorer and can't remember the precise location of the settings.

I had to set the root directory (i.e. /) as my home directory. From there you can navigate to /system/build.prop IIRC and make the necessary changes.
touch tune is great.
I am at a loss. I have found a thousand people on the interwebs that seem to have this problem but I have been unable to find a single solution.
I have searched these forums and every other android forum I can find. Hopefully I'm not posting this in the completely wrong forum but at this point I'm so fed up I'm seeing spots.
I want to use File Expert. I like it, it's pretty, it SEEMS like it might be useful to a person who wants to copy/move files.
But, it just says "operation failed" when I try and copy files into a system directory. (I have some ringtones, alarms, etc that I want to be available even if I'm in usb storage mode so I like to move them into the system directory).
I can move the files from a terminal emulator (pain in the you know) but Root Explorer (ugly) is the only file manager I can find that actually works to move them.
Am I stuck with Root Explorer or is there something I can do to get other file managers to actually work?
Yes I have enabled the root exploring function in File Expert and every option that i believe is applicable. I also like Anttek (quite visually appealing to me) but it doesn't work either.
Try es file explorer you have to have root permissions to move system dir apps and so forth in the settings of es file go down and check root explorer and mount the system as writeable and all your issues will be solved

Thanks for the quick reply and I will be happy to try ES File Explorer, but why would that work if File Expert (which also claims to be able to mount r/w) doesn't?
Is there really only just ES and Root Explorer that properly get root privileges?
Not sure? I guess so :/

Oh well ES works and it looks pretty good so i suppose I'll use that. Thanks.
Maybe the other file managers did not obtain superuser permission properly, or don't like the new version of busybox, or just don't like Epics...but Biggie steered you the right way.
^^^^^^^^^ edit: you beat me^^^^^^^^
I know in es file explorer you have to go into the apps settings to give the app root permissions so it can get to /system and all that jazz. Maybe file expert has the same deal in the apps settings.
I have root and copied the relevant files in /sys/media/audio/notifications and with system write permissions on root explorer...however unable to play the files or select them for the phone...please help...thanks
RESOLVED ON OWN...can make the same media directory structure on the SDCARD and reboot and nexus recognizes.
So this is a problem I've had basically since day one with my Nexus 7. No matter what file explorer I use, I can not edit anything in the root directories. Unable to save build.prop edits for example. I am assuming it is a permission thing but I have no idea exactly what I am doing wrong or how to fix it. Any help is appreciated.

Are you rooted? If you are - check to see if you are in read only mode in your file manager(s)
Besides requiring root, apps like ES File Explorer need to have root access turned on. Root Explorer needs a directory mounted as R/W.
Best practice, anyway, is to copy a file (especially build.prop) to a regular directory under /sdcard, edit it there, rename the original, then copy back the modified file.
I managed to figure it out. Was using cm file explorer and root browser. Got root browser working by changing permissions on the system folder.
I always copy files into the internal storage before editing. Thanks for the replies.

I really like the double bloop with faint echo sound Samsung has introduced as the charging start sound. Have anyone isolated it for use as a notification for anything else?
Thanks in advance

It's called ChargingStarted.ogg and it's located in System/media/audio/ui. You can use an app like ES File Explorer to copy it to another location. If you want the sound to show in your notification sounds make a folder on the internal SD card (normally 0) called Media. Inside the media folder make two more folders called Ringtone and Notifications. Put a copy of ChargingStarted.ogg in the Notifications folder and it will show with your normal notification sounds.
Thanks!

Does this require root? I cannot locate the System folder using ES File Explorer upgraded version. Also my device is the S9 SM-G960W if that makes a difference.
Thanks!

Does not require root and you need to navigate back to the very root of the device, not /sdcard, further back than that where it shows just /
Total Commander can do it too
I don't know ES file Explorer options, but with the Asus file manager, you have to go to settings and show hidden files and folders. Then you can back up to the root folder. Then you'll find "System".
Samsung's own file manager won't do that. Google's Files app can't either.

Navigating not an issue, well versed. For some reason ES Pro will not show anything off root. Maybe a setting wrong although I went over a few times. That being said pro tip re: TC - showed everything - file copied and functional in under a minute. Thanks so much, appreciate it!

I switched from ES to TC a few weeks ago, discovered TC uses SMB2 for LAN transfers, whereas ES must use SMB1 and is pathetically slow, with TC I can transfer GB videos via WiFi to a shared folder on the PC in no time
ES can definitely show root, maybe need to enable a setting like you say, I don't have it installed atm though, iirc I used the nav bar at the top to get there, think I just pressed on the / icon, or as far back as it would show, and then the next dir would show the / to press, something like that
