[Q] Custom bootanimatin on Traveller DSC ROM - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys,
I am using Traveller DSC ROM 2.3.10 on my Dell Streak 5 and it is working flawlessly without any issues. However, I have been trying to load a custom boot animation and have been unsuccessful. Here are the error messages I get using different ways to copy/move bootanimation.zip folder to /data/local/ or /system/media/
1. Tried using file manager, already provided in this awesome rom : ERROR: UNABLE TO MOVE/COPY THE FILE
2: Tried Creating a new folder in phone memory: Error: unable to create a folder
3: Tried to give a command to push using ADB: CANNOT COPY THE FILE IN READ ONLY.
Please help me what else can I do to add my custom bootanimation.zip to my mobile.

The file manager included in the ROM came from CM7 and does not have root support. Use a root-capable file manager such as Astro or ES File Explorer to access /system/media and change the file.

Tried with no success

Thank you for your suggestion. However, I tried both Astro and ES File Explorer now and the issue still persists. If I try to copy and replace the existing bootanimation file it says that the file system is read only. Again, I tried creating a new folder, it says OPERATION FAILED.
Everything else works amazingly fast. Please help.
By the way, thank you so much for your ROM. You are awesome.

Did you make sure to enable root for ES File Explorer or Astro in their respective settings when you ran them? If you did that and it still doesn't work, then you somehow lost root when SuperSU upgraded to 1.75 last week.

Thank you

Thank you. It was my bad, I was trying to copy the bootanimation.zip to /system/media/ where the file was a read only and it was not replacing to a different file. I just copied it to /data/local/ and it worked just fine :good:

Stock Clock App (Edify)

When I try to flash the stockclock.zip file using the new CWM it says that Amend scripting is no longer supported. Does anybody know how I would could get this installed?
Open the zip file usin astro file manager. Copy the clock.apk (might be named deskclock.apk) then place it in your sdcard where you know Where its located. Use root explorer to copy it to the system/app directory. Rename your old clock.apk to something like clock.bak in case you ever need to go back to it.

Thanks. Did that. And it was called "ClockPackage.apk" in case anybody was wondering.

[Q] Root Explorer Issue

Anyone else have issues using Root Explorer to edit files??
Trying to modify the /system/build.prop file in order to see if I can get the Netflix app to work. I purchased Root Explorer so I can edit some lines of the file. For some reason, I cannot save any of the changes. I tried on other files, and as soon as I leave and come back...the file goes back to its original state.
I've tried: copy, pasting and deleting files works. I am ensuring that I have Mount R/W selected to enable writing. I contacted Root Manager support and they suggested I try changing the permissions on the folder “/data/data/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer/files” to 777. No luck.
I have also attempted using the free file manager app "ES File Explorer" without any luck.
Try using Ghost Commander. Take some time to get used to it but its a solid app.

Can't create new folder without root

Okay, I had this problem, that I can't create a new folder without root. It worked fine after flashing fserve v18a cfs kernel , it still can create a folder, but after a reboot, I can't create a folder nor rename anymore, but I can move and delete a file and folder.
I tried installing and using root explorer, it worked, but after uninstalling it I can't create a folder anymore. I am using the default one in cm7, astro file manager does not work either.
I checked the owner and group of sdcard under root explorer, it says both 0-root. I can select other options like system.
So can anybody use root explorer and check their sdcard owners? Or have another solution?
Thanks in advanced
EDIT## tried changing owners and groups but root explorer crashed
EDIT2### used file expert and I saw file permissions for owner not tick(read and write), but root explorer is ticked. File expert can't change the permissions and root explorer FCs.

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

[HELP][REQ]'LOGO.JPG' Draw Failed

Guyz help ive been searching through XDA but coudlnt find any specific answer bout
this, when i try to boot my phone a 'logo.jpg' draw failed in the screen..
can someone give me the stock splash screen logo?
I've had the same problem after a major flash-attack
Use your preferred file explorer with root access, and navigate to /.lfs
If you can't see the folder, enter the file explorers settings-menu and set it to show hidden files
Look in this folder and see if you have a file called l0g0.jpg
If you have this file, copy (not move) it to your sdcard, and rename the copy to logo.jpg
Now copy the renamed (logo.jpg) file back to /.lfs
Reboot, and enjoy
I recommend you to use Solid Explorer or ES File Explorer
