Ah ok, and whats the command for it? Sorry, for all these questions but tbh I was never deep in the software scene or else.

Do you still have root? You can just use root explorer to copy it over to system/app/blabla.apk
But for adb you have to mount the system, then push the files. This is enough info for google keywords
However, from my experience the x10 doesn't like reinstalling system apps. Best chance is to back up everything with titanium backup and reflash.
Sorry I didn't give you exact commands but this was

Ok, at least I already copied them back to the right folder but nothing changes. So I have to reflash, ok. Thank you for you help.

Reflashing is not necessary... Do you have windows or mac? I'll make you a script so that it will load it on it's own.

[GUIDE] Rooting your phone...from your phone [ALL US SGS3]

Rooting your phone...from your phone (what?!)
DISCLAIMER: I do not expect anything to go wrong as I have personally tested this. However, YOU are choosing to make these modifications to your phone so I DO NOT take responsibility for any damage that may come as a result of using this. If you come back and point the finger at me, I will laugh at you.
If your phone is not an SGS3, this MAY still work for you. I take absolutely NO responsibility either way.
Prerequisites
The following files are attached to this post for convenience. Download and install the apps, download and extract the zip file somewhere convenient.
Superuser by Koush(MUST be this one. You can change it later if you so desire.)
Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich ( MUST be this one)
Zip file, extracted somewhere convenient

THE GOODS
These generic names will be used:
/path/to/motochopperDir - This is the full path to the extracted motochopper-mobile DIRECTORY or FOLDER. Example: /sdcard/motochopper-mobile (will vary depending on where you extracted the files).
NOTE: After running the script, Motochopper may or may not print "Failed", but the exploit DOES indeed work regardless of this. Make sure you reboot for changes to take effect.

Download the attached zip file AND both apps.
Install Terminal Emulator and Superuser (use a file manager, navigate to the downloaded .apk files and click on each file to install them).
Open up Terminal Emulator and type the following commands. Press the ENTER key after each command.
Code:
cd /path/to/motochopperDir
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /path/to/motochopperDir
From there, my setup.sh script will handle the rest of the process. If you are still unsure, see my sample run below.
Sample run (files were extracted to /sdcard/moto)
Code:
cd /sdcard/moto
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /sdcard/moto

Pretty cool. I'd try it if I weren't already rooted. Thanks for sharing this.
Questions though, does this permanently root or temporarily root? And how can you unroot from this method?

This is a permanent rooting method. You unroot same as you would by any other rooting method...flash a stock unrooted ROM.

What's the easiest way to do that?

Is the same update that hit all nexus devices. No 4.4 yet

I went ahead and accepted the update. I am 100% stock (including recovery) other than root. Update went ok but killed root. I re-rooted by sideloading SuperSU v1.65 and all is cool again. Now on build JWR66Y.S003.130805. No idea what changed but at least I don't have to stare at the update notification any more. :good:

Just write adb pull /system and you should be good to go or just create a backup and upload system file

[GUIDE] Internal sdcard not writable? Fix..

Recently many users have been having issues with their internal sdcard not being writable, either due to flashing AOSP and then touchwiz or other reasons. This little guide will help you fix this issue.
Notes-
1. Read all the steps before attempting this
2. I have used this method to successfully fix my sdcard and make it usable
Prerequisites-
1. You will need root
2. You will need terminal emulator on your phone
3. You will need some reading skills and glasses if your eyes are weak..
Steps-
1. Open terminal emulator
2. Type "su"
Your screen should look like this
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now press enter
3. Now type this command, "restorecon -v -R /data/media"
Your screen should look like this now
su
restorecon -v -R /data/media
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now press enter
4. Now you can use your internal sdcard without any issues

Many many many THANKS ...
I was getting crazy because of this problem..
You saved me from a big headache
BTW..
I can confirm you that i flashed an AOSP rom (carbon) on my Note 3 ..
After that i have flashed the x-note, and no write permissions for the sdcard (very strange.. no permissions only for the 3rd part explorers..TW file explorer worked instead..)
Is that possible to know the reason of this problem?

This next part is case sensitive
pm disable com.htcpowermanager/powersaver.PowerSaverNotificationReceiver
Then reboot. It will work for sure when system is rewrite so it might work now for those you used app to turn on power saver.
