how to write on system partition? - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

Hi guys, do you know how to write in the system partition?
I have root already, but not able to modify build.prop or change the font type, 'cause that is a read-only file system.
Any idea? some terminal commands maybe?

Ok, there is a magisk module to change fonts, it won't change all the OS fonts, but some of them.

Hey dude, get solid explorer . It is the only file explorer I have found that allows writing to system , including buildprop etc on Android 10 .

[Q] Cannot mount system as RW

Hi all,
please advice (google translator)
I installed the official rom B199. I'm trying to connect the system directory as r / w, but it fails (of course I have a ROOT). I trying different methods (adb shell, es explorer, Root Browser, Mount /system (rw / ro) app ...) but in vain. It still says that the system is read-only.
I managed to somehow using Root Browser remove a few system applications, a few user applications I moved on to the system folder, but the any other is not allowed.
In default.prop file I have "ro.secure=1". I am rewrote this to "ro.secure=0" and restarting phone, after restart is here "ro.secure=1" again.
I have a Huawei Y300-0100 official stock ROM B199, android 4.1
Thanks for the help

es file explorer has an option to set read/write, try that, it worked for me on a similar issue
Yes I use it also Es File Explorer and don't forget to give it the root rights (settings of the apk) if you want to use r / w
Thanks, but ES explorer doesn't help.

Android: How do I Get Read-Only Access to System & Data Partition Without Rooting?

Android: How do I Get Read-Only Access to System & Data Partition Without Rooting?
Hi everyone. I have an Android 7 device. It's not rooted. I need a file manager/utility that allows me to view the files & folders of the root directory; specifically the System and Data partitions. I don't need 'Write' permissions, just Read-Only. I want to copy some files. In other words, I don't want to root the device. I just need read-only access. I would prefer a file manager type app but I'm open to other methods.
I have tried Solid Explorer. It shows the System Partition but not the Data partition. Thanks.

Try root browser:

Thanks for your comment. However, I have tried Root Browser as well as FX File Explorer but still no success. I want to copy some files from an app's folder in /data/data/app folder
Both apps simply list the folders in /data/data but when I open the folder of any app, its contents are not displayed in Root Browser and in FX Browser, I get the message Access Denied. See the attached images.
I don't know how to use ABD. I'm searching for a command manual.

How to create custom build.prop file to custom directory in aosp?

Hi all,
I am working on aosp and have two questions about build.prop.
1) Normally, build.prop file is located to /system directory. I'd like to create custom build.prop file and save it to different directory. For example, I have tvconfig directory and want to create it in here. Could I read properties from /tvconfing/build.prop via SystemProperties?
2) Could I use different name for prop file except build.prop for example mycustom.prop
thanks in advance

Not sure if it would work, but one idea to try is creating a symlink from the file you want, to the build.prop file. If it works, you could also rename the file. Just an idea? I use this technique for the hosts file myself. see the code in https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...osts-diamondjohn-host-builder-script-t3872728
The next choice would be a magisk module.
I need help with a Custom recovery for Fero Royale LTE

You can't really do that but you can make custom Changes or specs to the build.prop,like improve Speed or So, increased or reduced screen size fake android version etc

I understand that I can't move build.prop file to different directory except /system directory. Well! Can I do that create mycustom.prop file in different directory and read any property from it via SystemProperties?

even with root no write permissions in the file browser.

I need your help, I successfully rooted my LG Velvet 5G with TWRP and Magisk. Now I want to edit files with a root browser / file manager. But it doesn't work with a single file browser despite root rights! If I want to change xml files, it does not work in spite of the set write and read rights! Even if I extract the XML and edit it on the PC and then want to insert it back into the system, it is there, but it is then empty. Is there still write protection in spite of root? It's Android 10. Please help me. best regards
The partition where the files you want to operate on as 1st thing of all things must be mounted as RW.
Many thanks for the answer. How do I install the source code (kernel) I haven't done it yet. can it be because of that? mount as rw is not successful. Here are the instructions, did I forget something? Https: //forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-3-5-0-caymanlm-lm-g900em-unofficial-twrp-for-lg-velvet-5g. 4193275 /

Android 10 cant delete files of /system/reserve and /system/india

Hi, I'm on android 10 stock version.
When I do a new installation I like to do a debloat of everything that does not interest me, I usually do it with adb shell and everything is ok.
The problem I am seeing is that when I am in the recovery, I access the /system/reserve and /system/india folders with the filemanager but I cannot see the files to delete them.
I can delete the entire folders but when I return to the system, the system emojis are deleted (any keyboard that you put does not have emojis, or for example if I have icons in the name of a contact it is not visible, it looks like a kind of rectangle, like if it were a character unrecognizable by the system).
From the rootexplorer pro, I can see the files in those two folders, but when I try to delete the files it tells me that "attempt failed". I have root permissions to delete from magisk. The files in the folders I see as R/O. I cannot switch to R/W.
I can only delete entire folders, but emojis disappear on next reboot.
PLEASE, does anyone know how to access those folders to delete the blotware that is in them? I have looked 5 days for xda and other websites and I can not find anything about it on this subject.
THANKS A LOT!

Use terminal and this commands
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
Now you can use terminal/adb to delete files.
Or flash this in TWRP:
