Rooted but can not mount system folder to r/o - OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers

I rooted my oneplus7T with magisk manager7.4.0 by using patched root.img and boot from patched img to directly install magisk, but can not write files into system. So AdAway can not work by this reason. But clocksync can work normally and rootcheck is successful.
By the way, the model is HD1905 and biuld number is 10.0.6HD65AA.
Need help. Thanks so much!

So you mean can not change system files like fonts and can not delete pre-installed apk?

You can wait for custom roms to achieve a smaller system footprint.
Or you can disable them for now, there is a way to disable some system apks through adb, but you should know what you are getting into before you proceed down that road.
Disabling an application takes away it's rights to run any code and also make the playstore skip the updates for that apk.
Other things can be changed using magisk without actually modifying the system, through different modules.

Correct, system is permanently RO.

Thanks all.

I'm actually working on this issue. I'm going to try to edit some img files and get back to everyone

Are you using Fire OS or the Fire Nexus ROM from ggow? (since you posted this question earlier in his thread...)
Either way: don't forget to apply the proper permissions, "0644".
i am using fire os
Ok, then just make sure that both files (apk & odex) are present and that permissions are set properly.

The APK is not meant to be installed, it needs to be placed manually in the system partition in the 'priv-app' folder.
Permissions need to be set via any file explorer that supports root access.
Usually people learn the basics about the Android system first and then start manipulating files, not the other way round...

Cannot edit build.prop on rooted developer preview 4

I just flashed developer preview 4 and rooted but I cannot get the build.prop edited. I've tried multiple apps but always says error saving. Had anyone gotten the build.prop edited?

I have successfully edited the build prop by using root explorer. Make sure you are rooted and allow super su to use root explorer.
You will will need to hold down on build.prop to highlight it, then go to menu and select, open in text editor.

I've tried multiple. Its not the file explorer. I've tried re flashing the factory image but still will not let me edit any system folders or files. I think that maybe it is systemless root. Not sure how I got systemless root or if it is possible to get regular root. Is there a setting is Supersu?

You may have a SUPER.img - i just learned about this myself - its a combined image containing /system - /vendor & /Product - it looks like it is similar to Systemless root or system as root... idk they are weird but i do think its possible to modify build.rpop, but it may require a PC.... Im looking for a way to edit build.prop myself and learning all this now.

Question Poco f3 scoped storage

Hello everyone,
I would like to modify some files in root/vendor/etc but i can't because of permission. I'm root, I can access file with solid explorer but can't modify anything. I try to modify attributes of the folder but it gives me a error.
Is there a bypass for the scoped storage of android 11?
Thx !
You can use ADB root to modify it by using terminal commands. Not ideal but a possibility

Apparently I can't run ADB root, I got "adbd cannot run as root in production builds", well I will dig further to find a solution

Question LOCKSCREEN OGG FILE LOCATION

Hello I have been trying to look for the lockscreen.ogg file location. It has seemed to changed in Android 12 if I'm not mistaken. It was located in System/Media/UI but it seems that is no longer even there with Android 12. Does anyone have any idea where this is? Thank you!
Try system/product/media

That is exactly the spot I was looking for. For some reason I cant get root explorer to mount R/W to overwrite the old file. Root Explorer does have SU access as well. Any ideas?

There are one or more Magisk Modules that will make it appear for all intents and purposes that you've overwritten or changed a file. It will do what you need. Because root is systemless, you can't (and shouldn't want to) actually change or delete any system files for real. I don't know the name(s) of the Magisk Modules that will do that, as I haven't had a need, but many users in this section have suggested others use such modules to do something similar to what you want to do.
running "settings list global" on adb shell gave me this location "lock_sound=/product/media/audio/ui/Lock.ogg" I was gonna check on root explorer but forgot im not rooted right now but hopefully that is it.
I just am trying to change the sound when locking the phone.

Can you rename the stock file to lock.oggbak and then paste the new sound in obviously with the name lock.ogg?

You can not because root explorer is not able to switch to r/w. But I tried anyways and failed

you have to create a magisk module yourself and replace the file, with the one you want.
google around for a template of a simple magisk module, recreate the directory inside the magisk module where the file you want to replace sits on the phone (system/product/media/audio/ui), drop the new sound file there, zip the magisk module template and flash via magisk manager and do a reboot.
dynamic partitions donĀ“t allow for r/w mounting. replacing the file systemlessly via magisk during bootup is the only way.

Which version of Android are you running? I don't believe that you can manipulate the /system files anymore on Android 13 as they are all read only - even with root. But hopefully, perhaps my file manager with root permissions just doesn't work as it hasn't been updated in almost two years =/.
Anyone else have any thoughts here?
@fil3s Does that happen to be working on A13?

It's my fault.The real question is files in /system could not be deleted.In my pixel 6 pro: unlock bootloader, install magisk and patch boot.img, flash patched boot.img with fastboot, reboot and directly root use magisk, everything is fine.But, I think the problem is /system could not be mounted

Wow! This is a fantastic file manager. The only thing missing is split view but that's really the only thing. Thanks for the recommendation. RootExplorer has been underwhelming for so many years.

Wait. So what exactly is preventing you guys from mounting as rw in Android 12+ ?

I can copy and paste with the file manager that I use (FX File Explorer), however, I cannot cut or delete anything from /system. Are you able to cut/delete stuff from that section?
*Edit* - I'm starting to think that it's just my file manager =/
Update - Thanks @mkhcb . I'll give it a try in a week or two. I found a way to manipulate /system files using Magisk, haha. But after the next (and presumably final) A13 beta update comes out, I'll give it a shot!

So it actually does.
Go to a folder... Then hit the three dots... Then hit new window. You will then have 2 windows as noted in the app drawer.
From there you can toggle between windows or create a split screen.
PS. You can create an endless # of windows.
