It worked with ES file manager. You have to enable "Root explorer" in the settings of ES file manager

How would I go about deleting some of the preinstalled apps in cm7? I read to download titanium backup and do it with that. When I did it using that app, nothing was uninstalled even though it said it was.
There are a few ways. You can do it through a paid app called System App Remover, adb or you can delete the apk's from the zip archive before you flash it. I do a combo between the first and third way. Just to point out, you need to be s-off to do out through the app.

I just delete .apk files from /system using root explorer.
S-off needed for this method.

I have S-off but in my file explorer when I go to syste/app and try to delete those apk files it says that it can't. The titanium uninstall which I did after getting S-OFF, done by some recovery exploit also does not work.

Enabled root explorer option in your explorer? Which explorer do you use?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
And have you got /system mounted r/w, not r/o?
use the latest "root explorer" from the market and make sure superuser allows it
when u open root explorer press the "mount r/w" button at the top to have write access

Although root explorer is well enough to pay money for it, there is a good free alternative called "file explorer". But you have to mount as r/w, too.

Thank you all. If it wasn't for you all I'd be following instructions and not know to mount r/w.
You can use Root_uninstaller_pro_v1.13.apk and uninstall the system application you don't use. I use this app and have no problem.

Direct in the programm you use. To name two examples:
1.) In root explorer you have an extra single button at the top
2.) In file explorer: menu>more>settings>file explorer settings>check root explorer option (and enter superuser request). Go back to root of your sd card. Now menu>more>mount>mount as read write. File explorer should show "access".
I am wondering if anyone else has noticed what I have come across. I use esf file explorer. In the past with custom ROMs you could easily direct into system/apps and delete or add which app you choose. But now it does not seem possible. You try to delete and at first it will confirm but the app will remain. On second attempt you will be prompt that this command has failed. Installing a new system app after giving permissions will give the same result.
I'm wondering if the developers have add some security so to stop us users altering there ROMs to suite yourself.
To me this is not open source any more and being given root access will need renamed to root browser. This isn't cool and is an obvious step in the direction of closed source.
I am currently trying renovate final 1.1. And Cyanogenmod on my nexus 7. Hopefully its jusr esf file explorers capabilities have renounced. But i suspect not. Are others having the same problem with custom ROMs.
Did you enable root acces in the settings of es file Explorer and also enabled the system partition as read and write ?

To gain access to system/apps you must enable root. Not sure what you mean by sytem partition as read and write. If its mount file system as read and write. Yes.
When you open es file Explorer and go to settings you enabled the root acces feature. But you you also need to enable the system partition to read and write
The picture is in Dutch .....But you need to enable the top 3 functions

I'm using es file explorer with viperx ROM and I have no problems uninstalling or installing system apps. Have you tried uninstalling es file explorer and then reinstalling it or at least clearing its cache?

Thx I'll try viperx. See if that's still open. I can tell you CyanogenMod and Renovate are not. At least not on my devices.
I'm running on a rooted Z1C.
I already changed the settings so I can write on my sdcard.
I'm using ES File explorer,
in settings click on root and
mount everything I can see as R/W (/, /system, /mnt/idd, lta-label)
but I still can't write anything to /system or /system/etc.
I always get permission denied when copying a file.
I was able to do it with root explorer so now I'm still wondering why ES File explorer 3.1.6 can't do it.
How to solve this for ES File explorer?
I like to use only one file manager for those tasks.

Have you installed this app? I use ES File Explorer 3.1.6 on KitKat and I can copy or rename files to external SD.
Make sure you granted root access in your superSU or superuser app to es file explorer. It is working for me.

I already installed SDFIX.
SInce supersu 1.99r4 craches sometimes I decided to go back to SuperSU1.94.
But now I always get a message in ES File explorer when I try to set Root; your device does not support this.
When I try once again with Root explorer everything works fine.
So what's going on, do I need anolder version of ES File explorer, is there something wrong with version 3.1.6
If I open up suersu I can see ES File explorer in the list, do I need to specify a specific user for it?

I'm using 3.1.6 aswell. And no, you just need to grant it root access.

I completely uninstalled Es File expliorer and SuperSu.

Gave ES File explorer root access and now it works fine.
No idea what happaned but now it works fine.
So, I got my phone rooted with Magisk, I'm running MIUI Global 13.0.3 Stable (SLDEUXM). Everything seems ok in the Magisk app and the Root Checker app says I'm rooted.
I'm trying to edit my build.pro file and it seems that de system folder is read-only and I can't change it's permissions. I tried ADB Shell, I tried editing it's properties with SolidExplorer, nothing works.
Is there some kind of lock in the system folder? How can I change the system folder permission?
Try root explorer. There you can click on the button r/o and change it to rw...

There's only a premium version of this app?
Yes
to navigate system files with superuser permissions you can also use the good old MiXplorer
