I found that a few times after re flashing/rooting and its usually because I haven't installed busybox properly. (App installed but not *installed*)
Glad you sorted it tho

Hy.
I want to paste files to system folder from sd card via root explorer (not old version), but it says that i cant because the file system is read-only.I know ,i had to press the button to mount the folder to r/w, but i havent got tis button anywhere.I repeat: im not using old version of root explorer (i tried 2.5.1 and 2.9.3 but the same problem). My phone is xperia x8 (android v 2.1.1).Please help.Sorry for my english, its not my native language
I use File Expert but I had the same problem. I don't know whether this solution is available or not, but it's worth a shot right?
You should first go to settings ---> File explorer settings ---> 'tick' Root Explorer
Then the mount option should appear. Try and see
using file export and I can't paste to system folder.

I'm trying to paste a file to the system folder, I have root expert ticked and mounted the folder. But it keeps saying "operation failed", please help.
In File Expert you should mount system as read-write manualy no matter that root explorer option is ticked on.

Silly question but are you rooted? That's the main thing that springs to mind here that and are you sure you've granted root explorer su permissions?

Can someone explain how root explorer works with pushing files onto your phone. I'm completely clueless? Thanks in advance
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
root explorer u need paid version that lets u mount system as read write free version doesent do that anymore , reason for read write is u can override system files . if you just try to copy file without read write it wont let you untl u give permission to overwrite the file "R/W" (LETS SAY U WANT TO REPLACE FRAMEWORK , WITHOUT R/W U CANT JUST LIKE IN WINDOWS U CANT MODIFY FILES THAT ARE MARKED AS READ ONLY )

It's basically a copy/paste procedure, everyone uses Root Explorer to do this since it is the most common and easy to use app, you can do the same with other apps but it's more complicated and sometimes wont mount internal sdcard as R/W properly.

Hi dudes,
I wonder to know how can I backup all wifi passwords and config before switching to another Rom. I think it's container in a network manager file...
Would someone just create an app (I think it will require root access) to backup it and restore in a single click? I'd love it, since I'm getting bored to input 64 characters length passwords...
Cheers,
giopas

I second this motion!
It would be really useful and save us all some hassle...
what about saving it to a QR code and just scan it? then paste haha
-Get root explorer
-Browse you nand files and look for /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
-Copy it to your SD card
now when you flash a new ROM just place the file back in /data/misc/wifi directory using root explorer.
Wifi key recovery app seems to back up this file (I have still to test it), but it does not restore it back.
Root explorer is a paying app and does much more than needed...

Thank you very much! I didn't know about that file...
Seems like I can't put off buying Root Explorer anymore... it pops up everywhere!

Yep, it seems so... even if IMHO "Wifi key recovery" app already seems to do the first part of the job: export infos. It would be nice if someone could write the second part: restore.
Any (capable) volunteers???
EDIT: I've just bought root explorer, but I'd like that app..
btw on Galaxy S the file is /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf

You need to Root your phone. You can then change the permissions, via Root Explorer, to make that directory R/W.

You have to copy apk file into system folder. You can`t install it like any other app. To do that you have to be root user.
I use ES file explorer. Install ES file explorer. Go to options and select "Root Explorer" (press "Allow" when asked from superuser app) and "Mount File System". Copy your apk and go to your phone memory. Go to system and then app folder and paste it. Reboot your phone and you`re done.

Maybe you are using the wrong browser.apk `cause I found that cyanogen mod browser.apk is <500kB in size
here is official from the latest stable cyanogen which should work fine

Sorry misunderstand.delete
Help please. I've been searching for days for the default font folder of the Galaxy S III at the internal sd card. Unfortunately I can't seem to find it. Is it really hidden by any chance? Same with the default folder for the S III Wallpapers ?
My phone is not rooted, everything is stock. I've heard of font changer but it requires root. Searching for a nonroot solution if it is possible.
Thank you for your patience and tolerance.
Fonts are in /system/fonts but you will not be able to acces to this folder without root
For wallpaper, there is no folder: there are in one of the apk from samsung which should be in /system/app but no access to this folder without root

Or you can use ES Explorer w/ root access, then go to /system/app/. Select 'secwallpaperchooser.apk' and extract all the files wherever you like using ESExplorer menu on the right (let's say SD card). You will find all the .jpg in Storage/ExtSdCard/res/drawable-xddpi folder.
Hope it'll help
