Hi,
I need help. I want to edit file - mixer_paths_tavil.xml.
It's in /vendor/etc folder.
I want to change max volume, but i can't save this file, after editing.
Please help!
Have you tried making a duplicate of the file, edit it, and then eliminate the first one( after you make a backup, of course) ? If it doesn't work with a Root file Manager, you can always use TWRP to copy and move files...
For me... The easy step is copy this file to phone storage. Then edit, when finish, just copy to the foldẻr then overwrite. For easy do, can try "xplore"
I tried, I can't delete a file, or overwrite / replace it with other.

you need Root permissions.
Go to recovery mount your system then reboot ? edityour file then save
To change master volume you can simply install viper magisk module ? in viper settings you can edit master volume

I am new to android but I was to fix PPP problems. I read how you can make changes in the build.prop file to fix it.
How exactly do I get to it? I tried searching my SD card for that file and couldnt find it. If someone could explain to me where it is located and how to get to it and how to make changes in the file, do let me know thanks.!!
it's in /system
do I have to plug it in the computer to see the system folder? I dont see the folder anywhere....
prbly long winded, but simple method - install ASTRO file manager, browse to /system, long press on build.prop - Edit - Copy. Press on the home icon then Edit icon - Paste. Connect sd card, edit it, and paste it over from where you copied build.prop
Either make a directory like this:
e.g. E:/Android/root/system
and paste the modified build.prop in there.
Thank you I got it working.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
How can i edit it? I'm using android commander, copied to my PC but then i can't edit it due to the .prop extention? Do i need to rename it?
I've installed the CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 by vo-1 MIRACLE Edition V4 ROM
but I'm unable to install any additional system apps (e.g. sms/mms, camera).
The thread says, I have to use CWM. But when using the CWM App to install any APK, after confirming, I only get, that the APK wasn't installed.
I also used a few apk installers and tried to install with a root filebrowser. Doesn't work either.
The allowing-non-market-apps option is enabled.
What do I have to do? Clearing any caches with CWM?
Found it!
TUTORIAL 5: Recover System Apps than have been removed from V3
-- Place your desired app or apps on your sd-card
-- Use Root Explorer and copy them
-- Go to system\app and press the Mount R/W button on right top
-- Paste the app or apps you have selected
-- Long press what have you just pasted and set permissions to rw-r--r-- for each app
-- Reboot phone

I would make it simple for u..
1) Simply flash the ROM as said in the thread from where u downloaded
2) Download those additional zip files he attached (system apps) at the bottom of his post
3) Download & install ES file explorer on ur phone (in its settings customize it to allow it to make changes to root directory and enable up-to-root directory etc. and grant it superuser access when it asks)
4) Now extract whatever system app u require from that zip file (say mms.apk) on ur SD card
5) Now go to /system/app and paste this file over there
I recommended u for ES file explorer so that u wont have to change any permission at all..just copy & paste
NOTE: First move the original file u will be replacing in /system/app to some other place to avoid any future problem

Can anyone here help or assist me, How to change the Galaxy S3 Touch Sound???
changing system sounds

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This requires root!
The sounds (by default) are stored in /system/media/audio/ui/
!NOTE: This is for system/OS sounds. Notifications etc are not stored here!
Screen touch sound is "TW_Touch.ogg" and back and menu button sounds are "S_HW_Touch.ogg"
If you would like to change the sound to something else, find a mp3 or something that you would like to use then convert it to a .ogg format.
Can be done on this website: htt$p://audio.on$line-convert.$com/convert-to-ogg *Remove $ symbols from URL
Then rename your new .ogg to either "TW_Touch.ogg" or "S_HW_Touch.ogg" dependent on what sound you would like to change.
Place the .ogg file on your sd card and move it the mentioned directory and overwrite (delete) the original .ogg file (backup first).
Then remember to set the permissions of the .ogg file to "rw-r--r--" and make sure it is named correctly, it is case sensitive.
Reboot system and enjoy your new sounds :good:
I tried everything that you said and it doesn't work for me. When i try to move/overwrite the file it tells me "Cannot copy or move file". When i try to delete the orginal file first it tells me "Warning - Could not delete". I am on stock rom and rooted. When i try to change permissions to the original files it gives me error "unable to chmod /system/media/...bla bla". What to do?
Ok. I got it. Thanks for everything!! Thumbs up!

Your root has failed, download root checker to see.
If it fails you will need to re-root with CF-Root.
Very Awesome. Thanks for the help.
I am running into an issue. My phone has been verified as rooted by rootchecker. The only way I can see the root directory on the phone is with Astro File Manager. Once in the correct folder, I can see the TW_TOUCH.OGG file and have a replacement. However I can't write to the folder. I can't even rename the original. Checking the properties of the file I don't see any notations that the file or folder are write protected. I assume the entire drive is per se with the exception of the \SDCARD directory.
Is there a better tool for doing all this? I'd like to have something I can use from a PC as well.
Thanks,
Karl
Use Super Manager or Android Commander .

First you need to Root.
There are good guides around here.
I'd recommend ES File Explorer
Download it then
Open ES File Explorer
Menu > Settings > Root settings.
Check Root Explorer
Click Grant when SU popup appears.
Check Up to Root
and Check Mount File System.
Now it will copy succesfully to the system folder.
Slightly easier
No need to do renaming. Save desired oggs to your ext sd card.
Use Root Browser (ES doesnt seem to go to system no matter)
Use Root Browser. Go to your ext sd card. Long press on the desired .ogg. Copy it.
navigate to the folder l /system/media/audio/ui/ as instructed above.
Click paste. If your file is named correctly it will ask 'replace?' click yes. Do the same for the other file.
Reboot. You have to reboot. How it still plays water droplets before rebooting Idk. But reboot and you back to clicky goodness. (who thought of that water droplet. Chinese water torture.)
Edit: I attached the two files. Change from .txt to .ogg.
operation failed?

Rw-r-r. In a grid of 1 to 9, top left to bottom right, 1,2,3,4 ticked. 5,6,7,8,9 unticked. Should be immediate but if not, just reboot.

Ok thanks. One more thing is it possible to add system sounds to it? Like a sound when i press the home button?

Its quite simple. Download a superuser.zip file that is for your device. Extract it. You will find two folders, System and Meta-Inf. Open System folder and you will find a folder called app inside it. Open it and delete the superuser.apk file and copy your modded system file into it.
For eg., Let the file be Gallery2.apk .
Now open META-INF folder -> com -> google -> android. You will find a file called updater-Script. You have to edit that file. There will be a line, where the system mount command is given. Do not do anything until that line. Delete the lines below it and enter these lines.
delete("/system/app/Gallery2.apk");
# [here Gallery2 is the name of the apk file you copied]
package_extract_dir("system","/system");
ui_print("Installation complete!");
Now rezip the folders together and you have your own flashable zip to install modded system files.
Hit thanks if this helped! :laugh:

Glad that I could help. :good:
I have two separate issues which I believe are caused by the same thing.
1. When I try to alter platform.xml in the /system/etc/permissions folder via ES File Explorer to enable 3rd party apps to have write capability to the SD card, the edit is unsuccessful and my phone reboots. When I pull a copy of the file to my PC, alter it, and then try to push it via ADB, the same thing happens. I previously used the ADB pull/push method to edit my hosts file and had success with that after doing it while in Recovery, but this time around both ways (in recovery and with the device booted up) result in my device rebooting. For the SD card fix, I've also tried the app that does it for you and encounter the same issue.
2. When attempting to update the SuperSU binary, the update fails my device reboots. This happens with either update method - normal and recovery.
So both issues seem to have the same root cause... my phone will not allow any editing of system files. Anyone have any suggestions?
For reference I'm on a Galaxy Note 4 (model SM-N910T) on T-Mobile.
Baseband version N910TUVU1ANJ7
Android version 4.4.4 (stock ROM)
Kernel version 3.10.0-2796035
Build number KTU84P.N910TUVU1ANJ7
I'm also running Wanam Xposed - not sure if that has anything to do with anything but just fyi.
Thanks
bump... anyone have any ideas?

Is your Phone is rooted? If yes:
place the altered .xml somewhere in your sd card.
1. Install an app called Total Commander.
2. Navigate to the location where your stock file is located.(delete it)
3. Now goto sd card where you placed your altered file.
4. Tap on Icon of the .xml file, You will see a green tick mark on it.
5. When your file is selected. Tap on Copy/Move to Icon.( u will see two files one on one with a blue arrow)
6. Now Click on '>>' button to browse the location where you have to Copy/Move the File.
7. Now Tap Copy if You want a backup placed in sd card of the file or move if you just want one file to be there.
(Through all the Process I am assuming that your phone is rooted and you Have Granted SuperUser permissions to Total Commander)

I'm assuming this will end with the same result as when I try it through ES File Explorer. ES has the same capability and I have given it root access already. Something is causing all attempts to alter system files to fail, regardless of root access.

This was not successful. Anyone else have any ideas? I tried posting logs in the SuperSU update failure thread, with the logic that if I get that issue fixed my other issue will be resolved also, but Chainfire hasn't responded to any of the requests in a while.
