ok i have easy solution for those who cannot change permission to vendor
i downloaded AntTek Explorer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbnR0ZWsuZXhwbG9yZXIiXQ..
this xplorer enable rw to vendor partition
to do this, enable superuser when it pops up to the AntTek App
then click the yellow circle flashing icon on the upper right corner
then choose root on the pop up
then go to system, then try to find vendor folder, press and hold it
choose remount partition on the new pop up, choose RW
then its now RW
vendor partition have a lot of junk apps, if you can remove some of it by using another xplorer (such as SuperManager)
a lot of space will be free'd. you can put some of your apps there to that system will not be easily full.
the right permission for the apps on the vendor/app partition is:
O O -
O - -
O - -
take note that if you turn off your phone, the vendor partition will automatically set again to R/O
Thanks man,
Your post realy helpfull for me,
Finally i can Allow RW to Vendor Partition in my Xperia Neo :good:

Since i got some problems on both my streaks while permanently rooted (lost network connectivity during calls and some crashes) i found a way to keep my lcd density setting saved without being permanently rooted. You have to add the lcd density value in build.prop since it's missing on Froyo.
Here you go:
- root your device with z4 from market
- install root explorer from market
- open root explorer and navigate to /system
- be sure to change "mount r/o" to "mount r/w" in the top left corner
- now search for "build.prop" and longpress it
- select "open in texteditor" to edit the file
- add the following line: "ro.sf.lcd_density=220" (change the value to your desired number)
- save changes and hit "mount r/w" again to change to r/o
- exit root explorer
- now run z4 and press undo-root
- after root is being removed uninstall z4 and reboot your device
Your LCD density is now saved to your desired value without being permanently rooted!
Hope this helps some of you who face similar problems with rooted streaks!
Or if you use DJ Steve's build, you can already edit the update.zip file beforehand .
hello all
I do not understand this action to
can you detail
"change permisions ro rw-r-r, reboot!"
thank you
ps: if there was a Frenchman I'm ok
Linux based OSes all use a similar file permission system you can read in detail on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_permissions
To change permissions I like to use Root Explorer, here is a video tutorial:

or just go into recovery and sellect fix permissions
Using Root Explorer
I used Root Explorer, went into system/app, and if you select the view button you can select details instead of icons, this will show you the permission settings of your other applications. rw-r--r--
by long pressing on your application you wish to change, select permissions from the menu. A pop up shows the follow titles.
Read Write Execute
Owner
Group
Others
Select the boxes to match your permission.
Owner: Read and Write
Group: Read
Others: Read

What about some for stock ROM
Can it be used on stock rom?
Really happy to test this new version with a flash drive and permanent use...
Even according root access to Adaway the host file cannot be write... So no way to use Adaway
Please is there a way to success ?
AdAway removes ads by modifying "hosts" file on your /system partition. By default that partition is set to r/o - read only. In order to modify hosts file, system partition must be set as r/w - read/write.

hi Everyone,
I'm sticked with the common issue of how to make writable the external SD.
I've read topics on the forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-601/help/how-to-writable-external-sd-kitkat-t2877686
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-601/help/sd-card-permissions-off-t2833195
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687734
Well ok, but I'm a noob so sometimes it's not clear, sometimes it's not working for me.
So let's explain:
- My device is rooted (it was made by a tech using TWRP if I'm right)
- SuperSU is installed
1/ I tried some apps like SDfix and Int-SDCard Write fix
> Result = KO
2/ I tried to manually modify the platform.xml file > sometimes the editor does not want to save the modification, sometimes it says OK but the file don't seem to be modified (the last modification date is still 2014). Permissions are: rw-r--r--
a. Using Rom Toolbox, I go the file and edit it with:
-FX TextEdit > Get a Warning = "This file is on read-only filesystem. You will not be able to save any changes unless you first remount it as read/write'
> Result = KO
- RB Text Editor: it seems i can edit it. Save the file without warning message 'Saved'. But once back on the /system/etc/permissions folder, nothing looks modified (not today's date). I can reopen the file and see the modification by the way. But once I reboot, I go back the my original issue.
> Result = KO
- ES Text editor: can't even save the file
> Result = KO
So what ?
I've seen this message coming along:
"if you are rooted then you doing something wrong (did you maybe forgot to mount system as R/W ?).
If you are unable to do modify platform.xml then you doing something wrong or yours device isnt rooted."
> At what moment is it possible to mount the system with R/W grants ?
I'm fed up with not being able to write on SD card....................
Thx in advance !!!!!
Opening a terminal on my phone:
- i can't 'cp file1.xml file2.xml' in /system/etc/permissions
- i can't 'chmod 644 file1.xml'
Each I get "Read-only file system"
