I have been trying for a while now to get the APK for S-Note to install on stock 4.4.4 and fails every time I try. So online I found another way I could do this is to use root explorer thats in ES Explorer. The problem is the copying to anything on root fails even though the root option is enabled in ES Explorer and my phone is rooted. So my thought is that maybe the file explorer is messed up or something. I know the APK for S-note works because it worked prior to me going to stock from another customer rom. Any suggestions?
Did you mount system as rw?

I don't remember seeing that as an option. Where in the app do I do this?
Tap on root explorer, not the button, then you will see this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Go to mount r/w, then select rw for system
That worked, however I am getting a describe error. It says there is a problem parsing the package. I am not understanding why this APK does not work. The icon looks normal when its not in the system app folder. When its copied there I see the the android gremlin thing sitting in a box. This is extremely aggravating because I know this worked on 4.4.2 just fine.

You mean the mount rw thing? That part I was able to do. Even when I set it back and reboot the app does not show up in my app drawer.

Hi, yesterday I removed a whole load of junk apps thanks to this thread, but I now have a problem and need help with it.
I decided to move 'SemcGallery3D.apk' and 'SemcCamera3D.apk' to the SD card because I didn't want the 3D option, but then afterwards the panorama and 3D panorama don't work also the whole gallery application doesn't work (not just the 3D gallery). I moved the two files back to the system/app folder, but it still doesn't work, is there another step involved in restoring these?
thanks
hold on the app until the dialog box come out, click permissions, check all the read/write/execute box , see if this help

I just tried this, but it made no difference
Put back both to /system/app. Permission should be rw-r-r

Actually I just checked and the two apps in question aren't rw-r-r, but rwxr-x. So I am guessing that's the problem? I'm still new to all this, so how to I change them back to rw-r-r? Is it to do with how the folder is mounted r/w R/O etc.? Can you explain what's the difference, thanks

use Root explorer (Needs Root) copy the file to the folder, there is a button on the top right side to mount it as RW (re-writable) from RO (Read Only), if you long press on the file, a popup menu will open, from there select permissions, and set it in this order:
R W -
R - -
R - -

System files/apps without the correct permissions will not work, and may even result in bootloops.
Okay thanks, I did this and when I restarted the phone it worked again
OK so I downloaded some new boot animations from ROM toolbox.. I read where it says how to install them but I'm not to sure on what its saying.. I tried moving the zip file to the main phone storage but it wouldn't move.. is there another way to do this.

Do that, then long press on the bootanimation.zip and change the permissions to give everyone read access and write only to user

I guess my ROM won't allow me to change my bootanimation screen. When I go to replace the current one in ES Explorer, it says the file cannot be replaced. I'm running SS Ultra. Anyone else have this problem, and know a solution without switching ROM's?

1. Make sure you have full root access under the settings
2. Don't delete the original boot animation, just toss something like .bak on the end just in case something goes screwy its still there.
Wouldn't let me delete mine either, but it did allow me to rename with ES. Don't ask me how or why, but if something CAN go wrong to me it WILL.

Hey I know this is probably a repeat thread but im having trouble finding an answer. This would help me tremendously.
I install a ROM, it already has TB installed. Its not Pro. I purchased pro and want to install.
When try to install I get an error saying signature already exists. I dont see a way to uninstall because it was
Built into the Rom. Please let me know how to remove. Also is the removable process the same on each android version (ics, jb etc.)
Thanks for your help!
Use a root explorer mount the system as write and delete the app. Look in /system/app/

I posted a titanium removal zip. I know there are quite a few of people who don't use it.
Plus I can't put pro version in a ROM, because you have to pay for it.

And for some reason it doesn't work but, it should.
use ES file explorer or root explorer (make sure system is read and write R/W)
go to system/app and delete com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.apk

you have to reboot for the changes to take place. I had this same issue before, if you use titanium backup to freeze itself and destroy market link (destroy the market link first) then uninstall with root explorer you shouldn't have anymore issues. All you'll need to do is download from market after a reboot and it should recognize the pro key
I'm trying to set my phone back to stock for an ATT warranty exchange. I had previously rooted with Casual. I used a unrooting app, then used a couple apps to verify I didn't have root. Most apps didn't find root, but one found busybox. I looked for it, and low and behold it's there in system/bin, and protected of course, so I can't delete it. How do I delete it? TIA!
Busybox app on the playstore allows u to install and unistall...

Thanks, I had tried that, but because I'm partly unrooted, I can't even get past the busybox alert screen telling me I'm (obviously) not properly rooted.

Can't you just flash a stock rom?

How do I do that? I am decent with technology, but have to have clear directions.
Thanks so much! You are all awesome.
Check to see what your phone says about the flash counter, in download mode. Also check if it says it's modified . I have done a warranty exchange a few times with no problems. I always went on download mode, I don't think they are going to use that specific app at the warranty place. After going threw the warranty so many times for black blobs. I'm almost curious if they just check to see if it boots stock with no issues. And gets thrown in a bin that says '' fixed''. Because I've gotten the same phone twice lol.
Anyway, Goodluck, and don't worry about it so much. It will be fine
Thanks for the help! I got it sent back and it was showing not modified when I got it back to stock.
Anyone know if it's possible to get rid of the T-Mobile sound on boot? I'm rooted with a custom recovery but unable to get s-off if that helps anything.

Just name both files .bak at the end or just delete the 2 all together with your favorite root explorer.

Should we delete the whole animation, or just the two jingle files at the top of the list?

I'm thinking Just the jingle files. Deleting the whole animation would probably leave you with the classic, metallic "android" boot animation, as the T-Mobile part was probably just packed in to the original animation...
For safety reasons, I would do the "bak" thing, that way you still have easy access to those files if something goes wrong.

Thanks for this. For some reason when I tried renaming the files with root explorer it looked like it worked but after reopening the app the files had reverted back to their original filenames. No idea what's going on with that. I ended up going into TWRP and renaming there which worked.

Since you are s-on, you can't make directly make system changes while booted to OS. All changes will be reverted because you actually are not writing to system, it only appears that way. HTCs kernel provides system rw protection which prevents modification to system partition. You have three options, flash a custom kernel, use flar2s system rw mod, or reboot to twrp recovery and make changes using its built in file manager (changes made while in recovery will stick).
