I just bought this application because I thought it's the best explorer for ROOT users. Currently I am running LeeDroid 1.6 Froyo, but I am having trouble trying to copy some audio (mp3) files into the /system/media/alarm. I have already enable the R/W option, but it just wont copy over?? The application has already superuseraccess right, so I am not sure what's wrong? am I the only one with this problem?? would really appreciate any help or workaround. Thanks.
hi!
in order to test something, i need to replace the build.prop in root/system with a modified one. but trying to delete this file with astro manager displays an error message, and just copying the modified build.prop over the old one doesn't work too (nothing happens).
so my question is: how do you replace such a file?
thanks in advance for your help
are you serious!?!?!?
If the build.prop is located on the Android folder IT HAS TO BE A SYSTEM FILE !!!
if you mod the system files you could break android or the system just won't let you do it, you will need R and W privileges to do that.
edit the system files from your PC or just boot up in to windows mobile.
use some common scene next time.
hope it helps!

Do you use a cyanogen build?
yes and there is already a cyanogen rom posted with the proper build.prop fixed, so you won't have to edit anything, just search for it.

mmmh actually cyanogen made things easy to replace a system file, just copy your file into sdcard/android/root/system and reboot.
thanks for your help / posts. but unfortunately they're not helpful.
yes, i am serious! and yes, of course it's a system file. i know as well that modification might brick android.
there are reasons for modifying this file. some people seem to be able to, e.g. for chaning screen point density or modify the data passthrough.
so, please tell me, how can i edit/modify a system file from pc or windows mobile when its within the data.img-file?
thanks for any tips / hints on this.
use root explorer

Thank you VERY much for your help - I finally got it to work by listening your instructions. It is simply different if you have HD2 and plus CM mod. That figures why it was going back all the time to 180 instead of changing it - because it runs from sd card and that's where it needs to be replaced as well ...
Droid Explorer
Im sorry if this is the wrong section for this, I figured this would be the best spot.
The reason im posting this is because a lot of people were asking how to use the EVO keyboard (with arrows) on NON-Evo sense builds. First off, as far as I have tried, the build does have to be a sense build. I have tested this on just about every sense build for the HD2.
I've attached the renamed apk that ive been using. Hopefully it will work since I sent it straight from my phone. If you use it, skip #1.
1.) Rename the HTC_IME.apk to newHTC_IME.apk
2.)Go into the folder where the newHTC_IME.apk is (if you download it from your phone then it will be in the "download" folder) and using "Root Explorer" or another root file explorer long press the apk and select copy.
3.)Go to your system>>app folder and paste the newHTC_IME.apk. Since its not the same name as the original it will not ask you if you want to over ride the original. But it will still be there if you choose you do not want the EVO keyboard later on.
4.) You WILL have to reboot for the changes to take affect, if you do not you will not have a keyboard till you do reboot.
I hope I didnt make this complicated lol, and yes i know....some of you know how to do this. I did it for the ones who did not.
Works perfectly with desire sense mdeejay build. Thanks.

the method you're doing won't work.. follow the OP's instruction on how to do it, or install droid explorer and then copy/paste the newHTC_IME.apk file to system/app folder.
BE VERY WARY ABOUT THIS!!!
I'm going to have to start from scratch as doing this has lost my keyboard, permanently.
I keep getting a "Sorry" message saying that "The application Touch Input has stopped unexpectedly" and my keyboard is unavailable.
This is after installing this new keyboard, as well as after restoring the original one. It's basically just screwed my keyboard so I'm going to have to rebuild my instance of Android from scratch.

You've got to copy it in sd/Android/root/system/app>
and reboot!
this should work for you.

mine doesnt even have app folder in my root folder can i just make a folder in the root and do it like that? and after i put it in the folder where do i go to select the evo keyboard sorry for acting like a noob lol
Yes thanks a lot but I was very afraid because I had to erase and save elsewhere the old file . I could not copy the new file in root system app as it was saying that i had not enough place in the rom.
Thanks for the apps . It work great !

My friends, i'm not able to write the file newHTC_IME.apk into /system/app/.
I've installed "Root Explorer" and I also cannot, it tells me that there's no space to copy the file... even i use mount r/w
i'v also tried to access superuser but i dont know how it works... superuser2.3.6 app screen shows me there's no apps, log shows me there's no log, and i don't know how can i give root privilegies to "root explorer"
thnx!
SOLVED: I was able doing the same, deleting HTC_IME.pak and copying newHTC_IME.pak. Thnx!!!
Hi motoman234,

Thank you

You need to get root explorer. Google it for the apk. Then set your permissions to read/write in the app. Then you can easily modify those files.
Ok - other question, is there a way to modify or replace the file
/proc/calibration
I can replace the same file in two other locations (/system/etc and /etc) but not the one mentioned above. I tried with root explorer and adb - no success.
If not, i'll live with the generic mac-address
EDIT: i also tried a modified batch from mdj (I updated my kernel today with this one).
Hello everybody.
I have a problem about my Redmi Note 7.I want to ask to you about it, if another one had the same problem with me.
My phone is unlocked and rooted (Magisk).And i use original MIUI 11 version with oem kernel.
-The problem is, i want to modify gps.conf file to get a better gps performance.I know to tweak it, i had been doing that on my old phone also.And the problem starts here.I use "es file explorer" by root rights and can modify the file and save it.Everyting seems okay.But when i restart the phone and check the file, i see that the phone restores that file (gps.conf) to its original oem state.So although i can modify and save it by a root file manager after a restart it turns the original state.I can not prevent it.Is there any way to fix that situation?
Thank you.
Test this module from magisk download section. And maybe modify it with ur gps.conf
