anyone atall have anytime
I'm assuming from your title that you did indeed change it from R/O to R/w, correct? If so, then why don't you just try installing the app? Is it a must that the app be located in the system/app folder? Try putting it in the data/app folder. Can u paste the file in but it doesn't show up in your app drawer? 9/10 it's because the permissions for the file are incorrect. Try that and let me know.
Do u have BusyBox installed? Because u need to to write to the system folder
Also make sure it says 'mounted as r/w' if not press the button that says 'MOUNT R/W'

You have to update your root explorer if you have no option to set read write. You don't have to do it before you go into system. You can do it while there right at the top right. I forget to hit it all the time when editing my build prop.

This is odd, if I goto /system/ in root explorer it wont let me change from R/O to R/W to edit files.
When I start the app it says it's been granted super user, wtf am I doing wrong?
Updated Root Explorer its fixed ;p
You can always tell those who pirated Root Explorer, LOL.

I have the paid version of root exployer and I have the same problem I cant find where to change R/O to R/W
Found answer, fixed, have to push button at top Daaa
First time using root explorer and I messed around with the top most directory R/W and R/O mounting option now i don't remember which it was originally set to. Does the R/O and R/W mounting in Root Explorer affect the way android runs and access files? or is it only to set read and write option in Root explorer?
Generally system should be ro

i don't think it would affect anything. but i just checked mine and it has it as R/O
Doesn't affect anything bro your good r/w is just so you can edit or delete sys files

Yup Mine is R/O to . read write is to edit files on your / folder ( the root folder ) .
When in doubt reboot your phone, it'll go back to what it should be (RO)

yeah you need to install it to system/app...use root explorer app.
once you open the root explorer app, scroll down to sdcard and find the file tht u downloaded. long press and it'll let u copy it...once copied go back and click on system and then app... Remember u need to mount it as R/W (there's an icon on top). Paste it and long press and click on permissions. check all the boxes except any of the "special permissions". Hit okay and reboot.
So i know where took change the boot animation at but it's not letting me at all. I can't edit the original boot animation file name, can't delete it, nothing.... Any suggestions? I'm using virtuous inquisition rom

You probably don't have write permissions on the internal storage.
(I'm using ES File Explorer. for the directions below. If you're using another file explorer the exact method may be slightly different, but the same steps apply. And I'm sure they aren't vastly different for other explorer apps.)
Long press the bootanimation file that's in there (The one you want to get rid of). Then select properties. Then change the Permissions to rw- rw- rw-.
Once you do that, just rename it to like bootanimation2.zip. You can leave it in the same directory in case you ever want the "V" animation back. Or you can delete it altogether.

I don't see anything about editing permissions when i long press

Nope. You wouldn't see permissions after long pressing because you're skipping a step.
You should see something about properties. (Again, I'm using ES File Explorer. And if you're not using ES and want to make it easy to follow my directions, go download ES File explorer from the market. It's free.)
Then in the properties menu you should see permissions.
Slow down and read the instructions carefully. It'll work!

The pop up screen doesn't say "Permissions" towards the bottom? Right above the "Show Checksum" button?
If it does, hit the "Change" button to the right of Permissions.
It should look like the screens in this post....only less Star Trek Fonty....

Alright....go to settings in es file explorer and make sure you have Root Explorer and Mount File System selected.
Then see if you can make the changes you need to.

Hello. Firts off I have a two part question. I have a sensation 4g hboot 1.27.xxx running bruce2728 cm10 rom, s-off, 4ext recovery touch, fw3.33. I have never had any major problems with this rom. The latest update to 10/25 I lost the sound recorder app. I downloaded the apk and installed it and it shows up in the system/app folder but not in the app drawer. I have tried to install the app from es file manager as well as placing the .apk in the system/app file and rebooting with same results. My first question is in regaurd to this, how do I install this app as a system app? I have done this before with superSU but it isn't working this time. My second question is how do you know what permissions to set for an .apk? I know how to fix permissions via recovery and also how to change them with root explorer but not, how to figure out what they are supposed to be. An explanation in layman's terms please would be appreciated.

*disregard my comment. I observe i have the apk in system folder too but not appearing in the drawer. Apologize for the misunderstanding*
It will show up once you set the right permission... to know what permission to set, just check other apps permission in the same folder. I usually use root explorer, long touh the apk and select permission.
Cant upload pic. Link shows how the permission should look like.

I have checked the permissions and they were the same as all the .apks in the file and it still doesn't show up in the app drawer. I even tried to fix permissions thru recovery and after reboot, still nothing.
The permissions for everything in the file are rw-r--r--.

I cant figure out why it doesnt show on mine either. I think it is link with another app where you can record from there, the note app for example (found an info that its related to the voice command but not sure).
I did found this on GPlay. Not sure if it will work but it seems to have a good review

Edit: I tried it and it works
Thanks i'll give it a try. It worked but now I have upgraded to 10/27 and its in there.
