Hey guys, I had a problem after flashing the new synergy. When I tried wiping and going back to my nandroid, twrp gave me an error saying something along the lines of /data/lost+found/#32/#32...too many open files and /data/lost+found~/#32/#32...too many open files. So when I booted back up I tried to go to those file paths and found that there is an endless folder in folder of "#32"s. I then tried to delete them from solid explorer, but it crashed. After trying it a couple times in solid explorer I went to ES file manager and made sure my system is mounted as writable in its settings and deleted the first #32. Then when I rebooted and checked, I saw that the endless folder in folder was still there. I don't think I've ever had this problem before until I flashed this. Can anyone help?

Odin is your friend. Flash a stock image should fix it.
Haha thanks man but I ran the fsck fix that was in the toolbox and its fixed. To be honest that was gonna be the next thing I was gonna try but glad I don't have to now.

I have spent all morning trying to get rom manager to fix permissions and have finally tracked down the culprit. the fix_permissions script is looking for /data/system/packages.xml. At least with perception 4 it is in /dbdata/system/packages.xml
I have edited the file and attached it.
First the rename and drop the .txt. the actual name of the file is fix_permissions
Copy to sdcard.
Using root explorer copy it to /data/data/com.koushikdutta.rommanager/files
(good idea to back up the other one first.)
Issue I have is after I reboot, the file resorts back to the old file.
Not sure why.
If you want to edit the file directly in root explorer, there were 4 instances of the /data/system/packages.xml
!!All credits go to the developers of rom manager and associated programs within it!!
I for the life of me cannot figure out why the file keeps changing.
So the best thing i can think of is to load it to the sdcard.
Using terminal emulator cd /mnt/sdcard and then sh the file.
Quickest diretiest way to get it to work.
I hope it helps someone out there.
Code:
su
cd /mnt/sdcard
sh fix_*
Thank you--if it helps, I simply copied the packages.xml file into /data/system/ in order to run fix_permissions, and then just deleted the .xml file.
A temporary fix, yes, but I was just trying to fix a specific problem with ending phone calls causing an FC (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9943863#post9943863).
Thanks, your fix worked for me as well...

--Much appreciate the suggested fix. Worked like a charm.
do you have to delete the packages.xml afterwards?
what will happen if I just leave it in the data/system folder instead of copy/pasting it every time?
Oh ant thanks SO much. Really needed to be able to fix permissions after Nero v5 started to act crazy yesterday.

I haven't played with this in awhile, but it seemed that it was overwritten every time Rom manager started.
I'll play around with this and see what I can come up with as a more permanent solution.
Dear All,
First thankyou so much for the great forum we have here, I am using Huawei Ideos u8150, the fone is network locked so I played around, being a total noob I started with installing sdk, and rooted my fone using z4root, rooting was successful
No when I try to copy a modified build.prop to the systems folder in root explorer, the file is copies but is not visible, also I have deleted the original build.prop & I am afraid to reboot the fone,
can restoring the fone to factory settings solve this ? also how come I copy the file to system folder, it gets copied and I still cant see it ?
I have tried pushing the file using ADB command line but the device refuses to mount (persmission denied)
I would really be thankful to anyone who can guide a noob like me, if you dont this forum has enough reasons to love it already,
cheers !

Moderators if by any chance I have placed this query in the wrong part of forum, please let me know in which part I should raise it, thanks !
In the top right hand corner or left it should be a r/o button. If you push that to r/w which is read/write you will be able to copy the bp correctly. Don't forget to mount as r/o which is read only before you exit RE. Then reboot. If you made a backup which you should have done before modding the bp you will be ok to reboot. If anything goes wrong just do a restore. Also you can Redownload the current rom your on to your cpu. Then extract it to a folder on your desktop. Then browse threw all the folders untill you see the stock build prop. Copy&paste it to your sd and that's your stock build prop. Hope this helps. Good luck

thanks for the kind help, I have tried doing that, I have rooted it, the I click on the r/o button and then I did copy the new built.prop to systems folder, the copying process completes, doesnt report any error but still there is no file visible by the name of built.prop, I just cant find it, is it hidden ? or is it not being copied in the first place ? & thanks I would try to extract the stock built.prop, and copy it to the folder but I will do it as a last option till I dont find something else,
thanks a million for the help, would apprciate if you can point it what I am doing wrong
In older versions of prime, I used to be able to use root explorer to remove applications from /system/app, and they would disappear from the tray. Lately, when I try to delete them using root explorer, they disappear when I hit delete, but they are still in the menu, and still fully functional.
I really despise having facebook on here (they just added it to the rom), and the other bloat that came with it, but not can't seem to remove it. Anyone know how?

It appeared to work using Titanium. Does this mean it may be a root explorer bug? I guess I'll try downgrading to an older version of RE. I am not a big fan of titanium.
Tried a known working version of root explorer with no luck. I guess something changed in the rom or superuser which is preventing it from working properly.

If you remove the app from /system/app also delete the associated dalvik executable file from /data/dalvik-cache. This should kill the app.

I tried deleting the executable file as well, but still no luck.
Turns out it seems to be more than just the apps, I tried removing the bootanimation from /system/media with no luck. It's like I don't have r/w access.

This is probably a stupid question but did you make sure the folder was Mounted to R/W (and checking it sayds R/W at the top) via the button at the top of Root Explorer before attempting to delete the file?

It's ok, thanks for trying to help. Root explorer pops up a message if you try to delete something in R/O mode saying "... cannot be deleted because the file system is read-only."
It also seems to be working now, no idea why. Maybe a reboot did the trick. The files I remove from /system/app are now disappearing from the menu.
Still unsure on the boot animation though, is that still stored in /system/media/bootanimation.zip?

Yes but if you're on Prime 2.0.3, there's one in data/local
Anything bootanimation in data/local will over ride the one in system/media.

Yes it is.
If you copy your new bootanimation.zip file to /data/local then it will look for it there first (before looking in system/media) and load up the new file. Tested it and it works fine using Root Explorer to copy the file across but just make sure the file is made specifically for the Transformer.
Mark.
Thanks guys!
SGT 2 7.0 , rooted it last night with the tutorial here, cm10
Root checker says its good and I can install root apps
I'm dieing to install a custom boot animation and the moving the zip file into system/media folder just isn't working. I believe the other suggestion was to move the zip file, it Root Explorer, into the data/local folder thats not working either
Someone help a poor noob? Hey, I'm not that bad, I got this far on my own
As far as I know, the kernel maker has to support this feature, and it's not in the stock ROM. You have to go CM or similar for this feature.

I'm pretty sre I'm on Cm10
Sorry, didn't see that. Use ES file explorer for the copying, it has good error messages. Make sure to enable mounting system in ES settings. You may need to download "mount system rw" from Play Store. You could also download Rom Toolbox Pro, which will do it for you, but it costs something like $5.

no luck there either and they make it look so easy haha. ah well, thanks anyways

Okay this could be a couple of things...
First if your new animation is already named bootanimation.zip it won't let you overwrite the existing one. Delete the existing CM10 bootanimation.zip file in the system/media directory. Now you should be able to move the new animation file to the target directory.
If that doesn't work make sure ES File Explorer has the rights to make these changes.
Go to ES File explorer settings.
3rd from the bottom it says root settings.
Click on that and check all 4 things in the next menu.
Super User should prompt you allow access for ES File Explorer. Grant it.
Reboot.
Now you should be able to move the file you want to the media folder in the system partition.
After you put in the new file you may have to update the file permissions as well. I forget what they are supposed to be but I usually just check everything as read/write for all permissions options on bootanimations.
If none of that works...I dunno...come back with more specific errors you are encountering. Specific error messages, etc.
sheesh
I've done every instruction, followed them to the letter and the default boot ani won't even go away although i can find no hint of any boot ani files anywhere. it appears to function as it should, deletes the files, moves the new ones, file permissions are ok... there's just no change whatsoever, it's kind of baffling. my tablet may be possessed by he devil.
Waitwaitwait. You're saying there is NO bootanimation.zip in /system/media and it still has the stock bootanimation? Try doing a system-wide search for bootanimation.zip using CM file manager. If it does come up, note its location. If there is no bootanimation.zip in the correct folder, Android will play one hardcoded into the kernel, an image of flashing "android" text. So if there is no animation in the right place and you still see the stock CM one, you are putting it in the wrong place.
Posted from my Fascinate using XDA Premium
wowzers!
OK, so I realized that I didn't have cm file browser and did a search and finally did the nightly update. What a trip that was. It got stuck on the boot ani and wouldn't shut off or anything so I had to wait for the damn thing to run its battery dead. It starts and definatly has a different ani now. The whole new layout is messing me up bad, took me several hours just to get back online.
I have even more questions now.
BTW I'm on android version 4.1.4 now I believe.
For instance, apparently I still have all my apps installed because if I go to the store it says so and won't let me download them but I can't find them anywhere.
And some how I disabled that bar on the bottom that allows me to go back or switch windows and if I go into a program I can't get out of it because I can't switch windows.
HELP! AAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!
ok
I got the window switcher bar back, it was extended desktop option. Still can't see these apps I supposedly have instslled.
Oops. Sorry about that.

If you have a titanium or cwm backup, wipe data and restore it.
Posted from my Galaxy Tab with CM10
Try using ROM Toolbox Lite, it's a free app. It worked for me.
In Lineage OS 13 it's possible...
Like mentioned above - in LOS 13 from AndroidAndi it's possible to change/overwrite the existing bootanimation.zip contained in system/media. Done here with a nice Aurora Borealis bootanimation
Titanium backup didn't backup the app and the versions I could find and try FC
I have S7 (Non-edge) USC variant on 6.0.1
I just need the folder for it with app and all, and refresher on manual installation method
Most apps don't care it's gone and will ask which app to use instead, but stupid stuff like kik will crash
Thanks

Save your TB backup to MicroSD card, factory reset

Factory reset then
Wait, I can send you DocumentsUI.
Note, it's a black themed DocunentsUI from Darkside Theme.
Just create a Folder with name "DocumentsUI" in system/priv-app, and place the apk in there.
Give the apk permission 0644 (rw-r-r) and folder 0755.
Reboot.
