Please help
I'm really trying to install my titanium backup, but I cannot!!!

Have you tried doing a factory rest / wipe?

Like R2 mentioned, a factory data reset might be helpful. You'll lose installed apps, you'll have to re-setup your Google account stuff, you'll lose phone logs, memos, and IMs. Someone else jump in here if I left something out.

It sweems I lost Root during the flashing of this ROM!!!!!!!!!!!

that would be pretty hard considering the rom is rooted at the kernel level.... unless somehow your superuser apk got wiped ...
also if yuo have issues with market downloads manage all apps market forceclose wipe data enjoy

when i open setcpu for example, a box opens and tells me that root access not detected

can i just reinstall the rooted kernel???

Yes, go back and reflash drhonk's KD1, but make sure you have the mounts right before you do.
- Boot into CWM recovery
- Go into "mounts and storage"
- unmount /cache
- mount /data
- mount /sdcard
- unmount /system
- Go back
- Go into "install zip from sdcard"
- Go into "Choose zip from sdcard"
- find where you downloaded drhonk's KD1, and flash it.

thanx stephen...worked. I have my root back, but I still cannot install any apps at all!!!! They will download then i'll click install, the instalation loadeer comes up, but then it has an orangetriangle with an exlamation point in it and it says application not installed.

Did you try what Raver said? Setting, manage all apps, force close the market, clear data and reopen. I was hanging a problem downloading apps and I ended up having to delete the market and push another Vending.apk file.

The ausiophile FTW, was giving me issues, I couldn't reboot into recovery, and i'm a freak for change anywat, so I installed GB-2.3.5-Octane-V2.x

Did you change your screen density from the stock 240? This will give you the same issue.

Root Explorer ICS issue...

No matter what I do, whether it's the 1 click odin or the cwm backup that is rooted/deodexed, root explorer will not allow my /system/ to be r/w.
I have wiped and rebooted and formatted and reflashed a dozen times now, and every time I boot up and get root going, root explorer will flip to r/w for ONE operation. after the first operation it will no longer work, and if i try to toggle the r/w switch it won't move from r/o. Sometimes I don't even get one opeartion, it just doesn't work.
I have superuser installed, i tried checking for updates, i tried fixing permissions, i tried clearing cache. I dont get it!
SOmeone help?

Did you try another rom?
I have Sensation XE with ICS and Sense4 and Root Explorer is working good here.
Flash another Rom and see if it works.

oops hit thanks by mistake, freebie for you.
This happened to me a lot with the deodexed version and happens every now and then with the rogers cwm file. most times a reboot helps but don't know whats causing it.

No problems with mounting R/W with stock leaked ICS here via Root Explorer.
I just deleted a bunch of .apk's w/out problem.

Yeah, I'm having similar issues. Clockworkmod won't fix permissions either.

For me, ROM Manager won't fix permissions. But CWM does.
Someone else said if you install busybox from Market, that will fix it so ROM Manager will fix permissions also.
edit: confirmed, installing busybox allowed ROM Manager to fix permissions for me.
And it's doing a lot more than the CWM fix permissions did!

I had to reflash su zip from sd card again to get rom manager to fix permissions.

Can confirm that this worked for me.. used the app called Busybox (not Busybox Installer) and ROM Manager was able to run through and complete fixing permissions.
-EDIT-
Seems to be kinda hit and miss.. was able to get ROM Manager to fix permissions on mhx's CWR backup by using the Busybox app. Just tried it on tpmullen's ROM and it would hang, so I used the app to reinstall Busybox again and it still hangs.

Go to to romracers kernel thread and try flashing his ics kernel. (Unsecured)
EDIT:
This did not work for me I can freeze apps but not delete.

Why can't I edit build.prop or push to /system/app?

Odd.
In the original firmware I was able to edit build.prop to change my dpi to 120 but now I cannot. It won't save any changes. Also, I tried pasting an .apk into my /system/app folder and it blocked me. Then I tried pushing it with adb and it gave me a read-only error.
I know I am rooted - can run Titanium Backup, etc.
Anyone have any idea?

Did you try another root explorer?
Root explorer can be finicky.
Also try clearing it out of super su and and reallowing it. Or wipe app data.
But from my experience with root explorer, I have always hated it!! Try File Manager HD, It is great and has root explorer and system mountable all the time

Downloaded File Manager HD. Tried replacing the Snotes.apk. No dice. All attempts do do anything with that .apk fail. Seems pretty well locked down.
Same thing with build.prop. No changes will save.

You don't have proper root. Reroot and try again. Works like a charm! See below.

did you make sure to mount the system folder as r/w? i've never memorized the command since i just use root explorer.

I was wondering if you have resolved this issue because im having the same problem now. Do you recall doing anything that may have caused this issue? Everything for me started going heywire once i installed init.d support just a second ago. I Can r/w and r/o in certain parts of the system but i cant paste anything anywhere. I also noticed increase cpu load afterwards. Might i add this is the second time i have had these issues after installing init.d support script. The way i solved this the first time was i had to odin stock firmware and this solved everything. Id like to refrain from doing this again though because ill loose all my stuffs and have to set everything up again.

How did you achieve root? In other threads, problems with write access to /system are reported when a rooted firmware was flashed. Only the method with CWM (install CWM, flash SuperSU) did work.

Oh the first time i rooted with the CWM method. But the second time, i did odin a rooted firmware Now that i think about it, the first time i was able to write to /system but now i can't after a rooted firmware flash. So the init.d script wasnt the problem. I just made an assumption because before, i havent touched anything in /system but when i installed init.d script it was actally the first time i tried to edit /system after the rooted firmware. So yes looks like im going to have to odin a stock non-rooted firmware. Thanks man! Makes alot of since now.
edit: couldn't i just try the cwm method and see it it overwrites, cause the only UEALGB firmware i can find is prerooted. I don't want to switch to UEALH2.

Try Root Explorer(or ES File Explorer) & enable R/W for system files
Check your SuperSU/Superuser app.
See if your access is granted & not denied.
If SuperSU/Superuser asking for update, update it (usually binary update)
If your SuperSU/Superuser is gone, re-install it from Play Store & run it for the first time to update binary.
Retry modifying your system file(s)

[Q] Pushing apks to system

Hi guys,
I am trying to install the Asus PadFone clock apk, which requires being in system apps.
I pushed it to system/apps and set permissions to rw/r/r and rebooted- nothing happened
I tried wiping cache and dalvik cache but still nothing.
I used root explorer to push it
Any suggestions?
EDIT:
Never mind, I solved the problem. It turns out the APKs I was pushing needed to be de-odexed before I could use them.

After the file is in /system/app/ and you set permissions, install it manually from there then reboot.

Are you running Stock? If you are then you won't be able to install a system app like that. Happened to me, and trust me it really sucks. Only other real solution I found was to flash a custom ROM for example CM 10. You could also try getting a flashable zip file for the apk and try installing it that way. That could work.
Let me know how it all works out for you,

No its not just the apk thats needed for it to work the Lgmms apk needs lgTelephony for mms sms etc thats why you cannot use the one from SU760 iCS thats why i added it to be deleted in updater script along with messages apk as it will fc and services.jar is modded to disable apk uid signatures needed in order for package manager to allow apk to run now you can pretty much pull apks from any other device without worrying aboud uid mismatch error

Now i understand why there is the message's bug...because despite the apk the lgTelephony for mms sms is from SU760...however thanks for your great work! Now i can't test this new fix...however i will!

Locate LGTelephonyKrOemProvider.apk in /system/app and delete it
Locate Messages.apk also in /system/app
Copy the apk's from ZIp
Reboot to Recovery i use CWM dunno about TWRP
Then in CWM mount system
then
adb shell
# rm /system/framework/services.jar
in another cmd prompt
adb push services /system/framework/
back to shell # chmod 644 /system/framework/services.jar
if you wipe data it work with no FC now the thing is the Old Messages apk left some .db database file which causes it have SQL errors hence the FC cant remember the exact path as i Just cleared the data just post Logcat so we can track down that db file and delete it.

Re: Sms[fix][ics][v1]

It is in data/data/com.android.provider.telephony/databases/mmssms.db you need to delete it.
Optimus G is also working. It is very nice. Has themes And popup. I used telephonyprovider.apk from optimus 4x and G mms.apk
I can upload here so you can add it to first post.
So what you need to do is as defcomg said before:
Download zip, extract apks an copy them to /system/app/ before that backup and delete original message.apk and LGTelephonyKrOemProvider.apk. Set permissions to rw-r-r then clear data for LGMmms3.apk from /settings/app setings. Then go to data/data/com.android.provider.telephony/databases/mmssms.db and delete it.
