but when i but the HTC_IME.apk in the /system/app Folder with ES-File-Explorer, the Explorer say's Can't Overwrite the File, i try to Delete the old File but it doesn't work.
How can i fix it?

You have to mount it as RW before you can do that. If ES can't do that, then open a terminal and run:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 /system

Where must mount it? on my pc ?
the Terminal in Windows said, der Command doesn't exist

Nooo, a terminal app on the phone, like this
Probably need to su before the command, thinking about it.

How can i put the app to the allowed apps ?
the Terminal say: mount: you must be root
but the app didn't send a request to SU...

As I said above, type su before the mount command.

You can absolutely use ES file explorer to make system partition r/w
Go to ES -menu soft button-settings-root settings-check both "root explorer" and "mount file system" that will give you r/w for system

Stock 2.1 rom rooted ROM Manager won't FIX Permissions

I searched and got on IRC and can't get a fix for this. WHen i try to use the Fix permissions option in ROM Manager Premium i get the following error.
"error occurred while attempting to run privelaged commands"
I checked superuser and ROM Manager is in there so i selected "forget" then rebooted and tried "fix permissions" again. I got the promp to allow SU and then the error.
Any idea how i can fix this? Is this a bug or a isolated problem?
Not sure if it is related or not but I had to same problem until I bought the full version off of the market.
Maybe it's part of the extended functionality?
As I noted I have "Rom Manager Premium" I don't think it's related anyway.
Just found the answer to this (as I too was having this problem). See the link below:

It has to do with busybox not installed in the correct place.
One more thing: Make sure that busbox is set to "755" so that it can execute.
Thanks

did you mount the system partition prior to trying this?
I'm also having an issue moving the file using root explorer. Any other ideas?

Yeah, same here. My problem is that I've never used Root Explorer before. At the top it says mounted as r/w (in the /system/bin directory) , but it won't copy the file using the Root Explorer program. When I click [Paste] it doesn't give me an error, but when I go and check the directory, the file is not there. I even tried refresh. Any ideas?
UPDATE: I have not solved the problem yet, but I did notice that the /system/bin directory that I am trying to copy to says "0K bytes available," which is probably why it won't copy. So I guess my (no copy) problem is due to my lack of understanding of the file structure of the DI.
UPDATE: I finally got it working. Here is what I did.
1. Boot phone into recovery
2. Push busybox from /sdk/tools folder to sdcard
Code:
adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
adb shell
3. Installed busybox to /system/xbin
Code:
$ su
#export PATH=$PATH:/system/bin
#cd /system/xbin
# cat /sdcard/busybox > busybox
# chmod 06755 busybox
# busybox --install -s /system/xbin
# rm /sdcard/busybox
# exit
$ exit
4. Booted up phone, and ROM manager fixed permissions as per request.
Hope that helps.
Thanks. I appreciate your feedback. But it looks like I wasted my money again on a useless program like "Root Explorer." I was hoping that I wouldn't have to do all of that command line crap anymore after having rooted.
Does anyone know if there is a file manager out there that will push/pull files via cut/paste rather than using a seperate computer with a command line interface?
I don't think that there is going to be a program like that until we've got full NAND unlock.

Is someone working on that? I believe the facts are, that the Unrevoked team knows how to do it...but they won't give us the means to do it. Probably because they think we'll shoot ourselves in the foot...and blame them...and they're probably right!
I can not do the cat command it tels me Cant create busybox, read only file system.
Any ideas????????????????
when i was modding widget locker i was using linda file manager free to cut and paste out of the system folder im gonna try it right now to fix this problem ill let u know if it works

*How to get Remove Sprint BootLogo*

Well guys I've been tweaking with this a lot and I've finally got it working. Here are the steps to do so:
First of all you must be ROOTED!
-Open Root Explorer and Mount R/W
-Go to System/Media
-Delete Bootani.qmg
-Reboot (You will hear the sound but will not be able to see the bootlogo. )
-Go to Root Explorer
-Go to System/ etc
-Delete "Power On"
*Big thanks for Austin420 for the help on removing the sound.
-Next Step (Flashing a Bootanimation.zip)
the sound is under system > etc
file is called "Power On". its the only audio file type in this folder.

Thank you for the contribution.
Edit: Apparently the file cannot be deleted.
Now, to delete the shutdown will be a little harder.
ive got a blank .wav file (10 seconds of silence) that can be renamed PowerOn.wav . do you think replacing the original file with the silent one will do anything, i.e. overwriting the old file instead if deleting it since the system wont let you?
I don't think so. Apparrently permission requierments aren't as easy to aquire as I thought. To remove this files is gonna be a PITA and also I don't think we have aquire 100% root. And that's our main problem.

When I enter the System Folder, root explorer automatically enters RW.

These instructions were kind of vague. Actually, VERY vague, haha. So here are the steps that I did to make it work:
(I'm assuming you have ADB and know how to use it, and you're in your operating system's terminal or DOS window)
1. Make sure you're connected.
Code:
adb devices
2. Connect to your Epic through SHELL.
Code:
adb shell
3. Connect as root.
Code:
su root
4. Remount /system with read/write ability.
Code:
remount rw
6. Go to /system/media folder.
Code:
cd /system/media
7. Change the security settings of the video file so that you can rename it or delete it (I renamed it). This video file is the boot up video (Sprint + Galaxy S).
Code:
chmod 777 bootani.qmg
8. Rename or delete bootani.qmg
To rename, type:
Code:
mv bootani.qmg bootani.qmg.bak
to delete, type:
Code:
rm bootani.qmg
9. Now to do the sound. go to /system/etc directory.
Code:
cd /system/etc
10. Change the security settings of the audio file.
Code:
chmod 777 PowerOn.wav
11. Rename or delete PowerOn.wav.
To rename, type:
Code:
mv PowerOn.wav PowerOn.wav.bak
to delete, type:
Code:
rm PowerOn.wav
12. Exit SU mode.
Code:
exit
13. Exit ADB.
Code:
exit
Now reboot your phone, and the video that plays will be gone!
I HAVE CONFIRMED that this does NOT make your device boot faster! Side by side with another Epic 4G, on boot, He has the nice Sprint + Galaxy S video, and mine just stays BLACK and both login screens show up exactly at the same time.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thanks QuietFreak, your method did work, although on my Epic it took down the Galaxy S animation too, which seems strage as there's that SamsungBootLogo.qmg or whatever. Maybe the first one calls the second or something. Either way, cheers.
Maybe it's one long boot animation?
Here's what I did:
I wanted to silence the boot sound before I flashed a ROM, so...
1. Open ROM with 7zip (DON'T EXTRACT IT!)
2. rename /system/etc/PowerOn.wav to PowerOn.wav.bak
3. close 7zip and transfer zip to your SD card.
4. Flash and have fun! No sound, even on the first boot.
Perfect! Now where is the power off sound at?
Edit: found it.
Use root manager to mount as rw then use root explorer then mount that as rw then delete bootani.qmg and playlogo and power.wav this will remove sprint and samsung galaxy boot screens and boot sound. but i heard that the root method uses the boot sequence to start the script so i dont know if it is wise to remove the boot with root or if it starts even before the sprint screen.

Fix Permitions from Terminal ;) (Help apps not to force close))

To install from CMD - Terminal
1. Download the fxps script. http://db.tt/zjiwMQw
2. adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl6 /system
3. adb push fxps /system/bin/fxps
4. adb shell busybox chmod 755 /system/bin/fxps
5. adb shell reboot
To Run it
1. adb shell fxps
2 adb shell reboot
To install from Terminal Emulator
"Download the fxps script and move it in your SD Card" http://db.tt/zjiwMQw
$ su
# adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl6 /system (Puts the system in R/W mode)
# cp /sdcard/fxps /system/bin/fxps (Copys the script from SD Card to bin directory)
# chmod 755 /system/bin/fxps (Gives root access to the script)
# reboot
To Run it open the Terminal Emulator and enter
$ su
# fxps (It will start... When it finish reboot)
# reboot
This Script is not mine i just find it and gine it to you in simple way
Thanks the Dev of this Script i hope to see it in Power Menu some day...
or you can use the Root Explorer to paste it in the /system/bin/ directory and
then with Root Explorer edit permitions by long touching the fxps file and tick all the permitions
Thanks!

Why can't you manually edit it? Its fairly easy. Use root explorer or is file manager to mount system and you can edit all you want.
Sent from Mount Olympus via Hermes
I use ES File Explorer. Check "mount file system as writable" in settings and you're good to go!
Thanks for the resposnes but I've already tried all that, after mounting as R/W and editing the file, it doesn't stay that way. It always reverts back to default

Hey Guys, thanks
but the only recovery procedure I partly understand is the one of Cute prince. But I don't know how I can copy the file to /system/xbin directory using Root Explorer, because i just can go into the recovery and so i think i can't use the Root Explorer. And I also don't know how to set permission as 755
And I resume that the directory /system/xbin is on the phone, am I right?

If you have cwm,you can still use file manager called aroma file manager.. it can be used to copy and move files as well as change permissions.
