[Q] No navigation bar buttons on Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean - General Questions and Answers

Hello . I have a chinese tablet NX007HD8G .
The navigation bar ( back , home , recent) buttons are gone .
I tried a backup from the same device but it did not work .
I also tried copying the same /system/app and /system/data/data folders to my tablet but still did not work . Does somebody know how to fix this ?

You need to have root access on your device.
Install Root Explorer or ES File Explorer or any file manager with which you can access the system partition.
Open your preferred file manager and mount the system partition as read-write in stead of read only.
Grant superuser access when it prompts.
Go to the system folder present in the root of file system. i.e the path- /system
Now open the file *“build.prop” in any Text Editor. For Root Explorer users, long click on “build.prop” file and tap on “Open with Text Editor”. (Before editing this file, for a safety, copy this file to the external memory card and save as a backup.)
Now add the following line to this file at the end:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Save and Exit.
Now reboot your device.
Voila! You now have navigation bar on your device!
Press Thanks if I helped!

Now that you got root explorer mode...
Press back till you go back to the file explorer.
Press the Sdcard looking icon on the row of icons. Its the leftmost icon in that row of 6 icons.
After you've pressed it, click into system folder
Next, click into etc folder
Next, click into init.d folder
You will see two files in there.
Hold down on the file (whichever first doesn't matter), then press properties.

Press Okay and repeat for the 2nd file.
After you are done, restart the phone.

Guide-Easy Way to Re install Deleted Applications

The easiest way, at least for me, to get an app into /system/app is to use Root Explorer to copy the apk into /system/app.
To do this:
In Root Explorer, copy the apk file you want to put in /system/app
Navigate to the /system/app directory
Tap the Mount R/W button on the top right
Tap Paste
Scroll down to the pasted apk, long press on it and select Permissions (you'll see 9 check boxes when you do this)
Check the Read and Write buttons for User, and only the Read boxes next to Group and Others, then tap OK (once you're done, the read/write permissions under the app name should be the same as all the other apps listed (rw-r--r--))
Reboot.
If anybody want any system app,i have backup of all the stock rom apps...let me know if somebody want...

How To Theme The Dialer Of A110 Without PC.

Hello Friends,
I'm going to share a simple way to theme your dialer screen(Change Its Background) without using PC.
Requirements:-
Your A110 For Sure
And A Few Apps Installed In That They Are :
1.X-plore File Manager
2.Batch Image Converter(Optional)
(You Will Find Both Apps On Play Store)
But Hey Keep In Mind This Tutorial Is For Rooted Devices Only.
Now How To Do This :
Step-1) First Of All Open X-plore.
1.1)Press Menu Button Choose Configuration In The Pop-Up Menu.
1.2)In That Menu Change The Root Access From Normal To SuperUser+Mount Writable.
Note: If Already Done Skip This Step.
Step-2)Open "Root/system/apps" .
Step-3)Look For The "Contacts.apk" File There.
Step-4)Copy That File Somewhere In The SD Card.
Step-5)Now Move To The Location In The SD Card Where You Pasted The "Contacts.apk" .
Step-6)Now Touch & Hold The File For A While & A Drop Down Menu Will Appear, From That Menu Choose The Option "Open Apk As Zip" .
Step-7)Now The "Contacts.apk" Will Open As A Zip File & A List Of A Few Folders And Files Will Be Shown Below.

You Can Download A ".png" File From Internet, But If You Are Not Able To Find Any File With That Extension And Resolution, Then Use "Batch Image Converter to Convert Any Image File To A ".png" File.
Step-10)When You Are Done, Once Again Touch And Hold On The "Contacts.apk" (The Same File You Are Working On) And From The Drop Down Menu Choose"Zip Back To Apk".
Step-11)Now Place Your Modified "Contacts.apk" File In "Root/system/apps" After Deleting Original "Contacts.apk" From There (Make A Backup Of The Original App In Case You Need That).

[Completed] Titanium Backup can't locate TitaniumBackup_license.txt

This is the first release of TiB that has not been able to locate my TitaniumBackup_license.txt file. I am using a Nexus 6 on MRA58K (M) with SuperSU 2.52 and TiB 7.2.4. Stock with the exception of a modified stock kernel. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/kernel-stock-kernel-root-color-control-t3218958)
Here is what I did to get it working:
If you have a proper key file named "TitaniumBackup_license.txt" try this:
1. Copy TitaniumBackup_license.txt to root of your device (/) using ES File Explorer with root permissions enabled.
2. After you copy the file to the root of your phone (NOT SDCARD root!), from the root directory of your phone, hit home button while in ES File Explorer. This basically leaves ES File Explorer running and in the proper place for this trick to work.
3. Go to Chrome browser and download any random image, use save! Long press an image and do save image. Hit home button.
4. Go to notification shade and open the now downloaded image with ES File Explorer ONCE (do not set as default). This step assumes you do NOT have a default image viewer. If you DO have a default image viewer it needs to be ES File Explorer OR nothing. Ex. If Google Photos opens, then you need to clear defaults for Google Photos.
5. Once image is loaded in ES File Explorer, hit back button and it should put you at root of ES File Explorer. This is the exact same place you left ES File Explorer in step 2.
6. Navigate to /storage/emulated/legacy this directory should be strangely empty. It will not be your typical SDCARD contents. You might only see titanium backup folder that is empty or some other random folder. THIS odd empty directory is where TB looks for the key file!
7. Navigate back to / and copy TitaniumBackup_license.txt to /storage/emulated/legacy
8. Restart Titanium and it should be good to go for registered key!
9. DELETE the TitaniumBackup_license.txt file from / as it or any other random file should NOT be here in your system ROM.

RESOLVED: Unable to change file permissions (Is this a SuperSU issue?)

I have Unlocked my device using this for reference. Where I Unlocked, Flashed TWRP, then flashed firmware NXT_C900B162 & SuperSU. Worked as expected, except for the theme issue. Next day, to change my ROM, I flashed TWRP, flashed C185B190 and SuperSU on my NXT-L29. All well so far, except the theme issue.
Now I am attempting to fix the missing theme issue faced by others here. As suggested in the same thread, I tried Root Explorer (Paid) and allowed Root access. I also went to root of System partition and changed permissions to RW. Now I need to change permissions for the folder which is inside Data folder in Internal Storage.
However when I try to change the permissions of a file or folder, I get the following error.
"Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems do not allow permission changes."
What is the issue? How do I fix this?
Is this a case of my SuperSU not being the correct one when I flashed second time with stock ROM? I used SuperSU from over here which was for NXT_C900B162.
Update:
Trying to add more info for someone to help me out here.
In these steps I am using ES File Explorer. This is what I am trying.
1. Open ES -> Select Root Explorer -> Tap on it again -> Select Mount R/W -> Select All.
2. Select any file -> File Properties -> Has 3 properties -> Readable, Writeable, Hidden -> Next to them there is an option to edit (Available only for some folders).
I next checked for which folders these options are available. Here is what I observed.
1. With SD Card or Internal Storage, options to edit are NOT available . Checked multiple folders within them.
2. I immediately go to /storage, and check the folder emulated. These options are available.
3. Within /storage, I check the folder which contains my sd card items. These options are NOT available.
3. I then navigate int /storage, and check folder "0", these options are NOT available.
I resolved this myself. Was looking at the wrong Data folder at the wrong path!
Man, I wasted almost an entire day.
Go to / data/media/0/ folder
The best n easiest way to do it is...
If u want to change the permission of file in your internal storage then just open root explorer ( I assume it already rooted) navigate to /data/media/0/(yourfolder)/(yourfile)
N long press n change the permission..Voila good u did it!!
This is basically due to some of them have Fat32 Filesystem format while they r in storage/sdcard which are different than Linux/UNIX file system permissions!
So if u go through /data/media/0/ then it's in ext3/ext4 format which is why u can change the permissions!!😄😃
