Ok I have had this problem in the past but no one has been able to post a good solution to this, so I'm hoping this thread will fix it.
On my Xperia play stock os but rooted (if relevant) I am trying to change the permissions of an Apk file and then I plan to move this file to system/app.
Root explorer is in R/W, and I have tried this with many different root browsers, I've tried it with Superuser and Super SU. And I've tried different versions of busybox.
I had this problem before on my phone but was able to fix it with a fresh install of busybox (had to reset the software because I was dumb). However I have tried many Different versions of busybox to no avail.
I'm out of ideas at this point. Does anyone have any ideas?
Is it not allowing you tp go from r/w to r/o?

No I can do that fine, my problem is aside from access there's a problem its nothing wrong with the app or my understanding of how to use it.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
You may have partial root.
Get root checker appl and check it.

Because on SD card it doesn't work like that. Only in the system partition it is meant to work like that

having the same problem on galaxy SIII
I'm also experiencing the same problem, but if I try to just move the apk to system/app root explorer tells me I can't because it's a read file only (in permissions it's actually all ticked on apart from others w )
I'm trying to move googleframework to system/application and one other apk so that I can use googleplay store.
At this moment I have on my rooted SIII superSU, rom manager, root explorer, titanium backup and rar extractor. Am I missing something else? All I really want is to be able to use googleplay store in China.
Please help.

Is there a way "NOT" to get the new Market? It seems stupid to show me movies when I can't use it on a rooted device.
I also don't care for books from Google and see no need to be pushed that every single time I open up the Market.

Once you move it to /system/app folder you don't need to install it. It should work.

Correct, just move it there and check permission. Shouldn't have to change it but soups be rw,r,r.
Reboot after that for good measure.
I read in another thread (too lazy to search right now) that some people might have found a workaround by renaming SU to something else. Apparently this is how Google checks for root access... Maybe I feel like adding the link later!

i did exactly that, and i don't see the difference between the markets. [ i'm assuming i'm supposed to be seeing a movies tab right next to app and books? ]

No, you dont have to install it just copy the files and set the permissions and then reboot. The system will automatically install it when you reboot. Delete it and do the steps again, but dont install it, just copy the files and set the permissions and reboot, it should work. Hope this helps.

Depends on what you like, but it show you the lyrics(where they are actualy singing), it downloads the Album art, it syncs using MotoCast(If you want). I think it's the best Music player for Motorola. It's really good, better than 'Play Music'. But it depends on what you like, I like the lyrics part and that it downloads the Album art.
Edit1: By the way, this is the Stock Motorola music player, just that Motorola didn't include it in the ICS leak for Atrix 2.

Is there a good way to change permissions for a large amount of files? All of the file explorers that I have tried *say* that they successfully changed permissions, but in reality only one of the files shows the proper 644 permissions. I did read about using Terminal Emulator to do it, but I'm not good at interpreting the sparse instructions. I really don't want to go through all 60 sound files and change them individually

Hi I have just rooted and updated my son's HTC Explorer, but the superuser app keeps on crashing.
I followed the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415223 which are very good.
superuser seems to be granting permissions as I have successfully installed the JaggyRom 4.1 [21-01-13] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930175 and Mount2SD appears to be working. I have installed all my son's apps and still have pleanty of space.
How do I update superuser without losing it?
Can I simply install a different version (i.e. the same one I have on my Desire)?

Maybe the super user binary is giving you issues... Try copying the superuser binary from another rom and replaced yourself one. Or reflash the whole rom without a wipe
You will lose stuff on your sdext cause of a reflash..

OP should make a flashable installer for the noobs on here, here's a blank zip. Just drop in the apk named properly (same as the system one) and it will overwrite it.
