I've had this problem when copy files in TWRP and then I can't delete them in Android even from terminal... Back to TWRP file manager and deleted them...
Probably not the same problem as yours but I thought I will mention it...
Didn't realy bothered to figure it out but must be permissions/ownership related...

i reinstall Stock, everything works fine and i think there's some folders (or files / hidden files) in the internal memory (made by Stock when boot up) , they assume the permission to read and write every file :-?
before that, I had to clean up the internal memory in which important files erased
solved....
now i can delete/copy all folders and files i want :laugh:

[Q] Moving App from one ROM to another

Is it possible to move one Program from a ROM to another ROM? I've tried TB but it only see's that it's a backed up file but won't restore. Is this possible and if so, what is the process?
you can unzip both ROMS and drag the app from the Sys/app folder on one to the same folder on the other, rezip it and flash it and it will install with the flash
Titanium Backup is really the only way. What exactly happens when you try to restore? Does it give you an error.
HipKat...thanks! As soon as I posted this I found that I can get into the zipped APK folder, move it to my SD Card, and then use my file manager to install it. Worked great! This is the fix!

Already tried that but it contains only the apps which come with the original stock rom(stock apps) and not the ones I downloaded..
The apps that u install after getting the device started are not in the system folder but the data folder which can be found in data.rfs.tar
and then in data folder open app u will find them either there or a backup of those somewhere in the .tar file only dnt remeber properly
your downloaded app is stored in data.rfs.tar (if you put them on internal memory) or .android_secure.vfat.tar (if you put them on sdcard)

ty both of u.. srry culdnt press the button cuz i hav reached my limit of 8 thnks
is it safe to place the files in /system/app folder and remove the old ones??
yup...if you already have the newer one its safe to remove the old one. but make sure you delete the odex files too. no need to press that silly button. I'm just a noob here, not a dev.
You can try but when i put vending.apk when 1st open it installing again on /data and operamini.apk can't put on system always force close in my case.
in DXLB and newer firmware market in system app is named phonesky.apk. vending.apk is the older version used in older firmware. we don't need them if we already have phonesky.apk.

Cant copy files from internal storage

Hello!
I have some files on the internal storage, from the downlad folder, that i want to copy to my sdcard, but theres no file explorer that will let me do it. I've tried both Root Browser and Root File Manager. They just give me an error saying 'Operation Failed!".
If i plug it into my PC through MTP and tries to copy the files, either to the SDcard or my own computer, windows 8 gives me an "Unspecified error" or saying "The device is off, or file not found" (or similar).
What is wrong? Why cant i move the files from the internal storage? Hope you can help me.

Sounds like an sdcard issue
Try copying files within the sdcard and within the internal storage. If it fails only when copying within the sdcard, remove it and try on a card reader on your PC.

I can without problems copy files onto or from the SDcard(from PC), but not the _internal storage_, thats the problem. The SDcard (partition?) works fine.

To clarify, do you mean the /sdcard/download folder ? I use X-plore if that helps!

To clarify, i meant the download folder on the internal storage chrome etc., saves files in that folder..
Wow that seems like a nice file manager, and it does the trick! No errors what so ever. But how come it works, but other root file managers doesnt?
And how come it doesnt work in windows? :<
Something about permissions?

I must admit that I didn't think X-plore would work either but am pleased it did; it does do pretty much everything as far as files and folders go.
I've not had a similar problem and cannot see a reason why the other methods you have tried don't work.

Thats the thumbnail folder of the gallery. If you dont want to have that folder create a new file (not folder) with the name .thumbnails . This will also fix the camera problem

Ok bro, but can you please tell me where to create this file? Do i need to go to /sdcard/DCIM and delete .thumbnails folder and create file instead of folder? I'm bit a noob

See root files from pc

Am I the only one who can't figure out how to view and or copy some files from the phone to my pc? Example, I created two zip files on my phone to be copied off for backup. TWRP.zip and Titanium backup.zip but neither is visible when connected from my pc. Chmod and chown also fails through root explorer or terminal. I'm feeling retarded right now...
Where are those zip files located? Somewhere in your root storage or on your sdcard/internal storage?
If it's the latter, try using adb commands to transfer the files to your PC
Or you can use this app called "Handshaker" and see if the files are visible there

If you created zip files in root explorer, did you look in...storage/emulated/0/SpeedSoftware/archives
If yes, then move them to a folder you've already created. Much easier to find that way ?
Yeah I can see the zip files fine on the phone, and I can see most all files from the PC. I created the zip files right in the root of sdcard which is the same as the root of internal shared storage from the PC. I can even browse both the folders TWRP and Titanium backup from Windows Explorer. I even copied the files to a different dir. I'm thinking they being owned by root is the issue. Going to keep plugging. And try the app suggested.
The issue was not here on the 6P. I just zipped up those two dirs and copied them to the pc. Can't copy twrp cause of file names that piss off Windows and tibu has way too may files. Anyway, going to look into the adb thing but if the files are not visible then ???
Also. Thought about otg but the phone insists on formatting the cards as fat32 which have a 2 gig limit lol

Meh...no biggie bruh. Sorry RE doesn't work. Kinda strange though. It's worked great for me on any rom thus far. Unless it's a f2fs thing? ?

So how do you back up for TWRP and tibu if you are doing a complete wipe?

Set lock screen to swipe. Uninstall all theme overlays. Do my TiBu backup, and save it to my pc. Go to twrp and backup boot, system, and data, and let it rip. Then I save that backup to the pc. Then if I'm installing a new rom, I just do the twrp factory reset thing. I don't wipe system anymore since that seems to foul things up. Which, I still don't quite understand since that was SOP on the 6p ??
