File transfer/system folder mod trouble - Fascinate General

I'm running EB01 2.6 sc. Have been trying to add shut down animation but my phone won't let me modify system folder. I've flashed back to stock and used a different method for root access and tried several different file managers. Whenever I try to make a change, it tells me the folder was created successfully or the move was successful but no changes actually happen. Does anyone have any ideas?

bump from 2nd page..

Hmm, There is a shutdown.apk in system/app that has appeared within the last 4 versions of super clean. I bet that has something to do with your shutdown ani's not being recognized or appearing.
good day.

Ran into the same problem. I had to use Super Manager. Just make sure u go into the settings for super manager and enable root function

Thanks I'll give that a shot and report back. I'm happy to find someone who at least is aware that this issue exists haha. I've been perusing the forums for days and everyone is speechless about it.

It worked!!! Thanks a ton.......such a weird problem...why would only that particular file manager work???

Then again........maybe it's not entirely fixed. I'm now allowed to add system folders. I wasn't before. But I don't see a "move" option anywhere, to move shutdown.ogg (or whatever I'm trying to move) I only see Copy and Cut. When I choose one of those, it says "Prepare to Copy" (or Cut), but never actually does so.

Just rename the original to shutdown.ogg.old or oldshutdown.ogg . I remember that it says preparing to copy and it actually will copy the file/folder so all you have to do is navigate to the right folder and hit the clipboard icon to paste.

Using EVO keyboard with arrows on NON-EVO builds

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.

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!!!

if you are okay with shell interface, Terminal Emulator is what I would recommend.
sorry guys, I'm trying to overwrite this file

How can I do it ??

Are you rooted? If not, you cannot do it, because you need root access to do changes in /system directory. If, you can do it with e.g. one of the following apps:
Root explorer (paid)
Super Manager (free)
File Expert (free)
After starting, you need to mount (switch) r/w. Additionally, in both free apps, you need to enable root option in their settings before. Now can you can overwrite.
Yessss !! it works (yes, I'm rooted)
Thank you, MatDrOiD ! I used File Expert. Just 2 questions:
in file expert, when i go into options - mount - and choose "read and write" should I be already positioned browsing the "system" folder ??
I've done this way, but I suspect that "mount read and write" is a global option referring to system folders and can be enabled just when entering File expert ?

Only System files have to be Mounted as Read/Write to Edit them, other than that they can't be Modified!

I don't like to say it, but pressing thanks-button would be awesome!
You can also mount r/w while in root folder, does not matter. After closing file expert, you always have to enable root explorer function and mounting r/w again, when you start file expert the next time. At least i cannot find an option to enable it permantly. Which is understandable for me, because superuser rights can damage your phone (so this enable action works metaphorically as a little warning, imho).
Hi, I have a rooted an android tablet (Chuwi Hi12) and find the lowest brightness way too bright. Now I found the settings of brightness and want to lower the settings but the system won't save the file with the new settings. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Many thanks.

How unlock bad lock screen?

Use Nook with MIUI. Today apply new theme, and after reboot can't unlock, because control elements of new lock screen (button or else) out of screen.
Can i unlock nook? Via adb may be?

I'be had this problem on multiple occasions and the last time found the best solution. If you use a program like Android Commander on your computer and look through /data, there is a file somewhere called "lockscreen" with no file extension. I can't for the life of me remember the exact location. Anyways, if you rename that file, it'll default back to the system lockscreen. There might be a couple different "lockscreen" files. If one doesn't work, fix it and move on to the next. If I have the chance today ill find the exact location.

Clockworkmod Backup File Location??

Hello fellow S4 owners. Quick question, since this phone is a tad bit different from my Evo Design. I noticed on the S3 and S4 that most files are set by default to save to the phone's memory. I've rooted my S4 and backed up my data with Clockworkmod and now I can't find where it's saving these backups to lol! Just bought the phone 2 days ago and out of 16GB, I only have 1GB of free space left and want to transfer them to my SD.
Even when I go to Astro/Root Explorer, still can't find them on the phone or SD card, yet when I choose the "restore" option through my recovery, it knows where they are and displays them. Thanks in advance!
Well me I like using solid explore from the play store you have a trail .there you should be able to file any folder hit settings go to file and check hiden file then restart app you should see any folder thats hide if it hide it self . But I do believe it didnt and you just might need to check with anither file manger . And I havent rooted it yet I usually wait about two weeks to root my phone only cause I want to see what my phone could do with out root .
I will tonight if you havent found it byvthen let me know I'll more then will to help .

just an FYI, the only thing I've been able to do as far as freeing up space is delete the backups from the phone's memory. there was an option to delete in recovery which is pretty nifty. now all of my phone's memory is cleared and I backed up my ROM again to the SD.

if you are using the standard CWM then it will be saved to /data/media
agat/OUDHS/TWRP should save to sdcard

[Q] AllianceRom Build1.1 Theme's GONE! :( and phone doesn't reboot properly

Out of nowhere yesterday, my alliancerom themes disappeared, when i go into alliance manager to go to the themes all of the zip files are gone and i dont know where they went, i ended up doing a clean install of alliancerom build 1.1 and they still aren't there?! help! thanks much at this point i'm not sure what to do next. Second issue, when i go to reboot my phone it doesn't power off completely. the phone shuts down but the buttons stay lit and it doesn't completely power off, tried reinstalling the rom, and on a different rom-slot and nothing has fixed it. Not sure exactly what this means honestly.
Did you install on stock slot? If not that's one of your problems.
http://bit.ly/1brshoa
Fail
Yes i have. And it doesn't do any good. I've moved the stock rom on and off the stock slot it didnt fix it.
Solved theme missing error
FIGURED IT OUT! after going thru the dev page and a bunch of time spent, i realized i was overthinking it. it's super easy all you have to do is go into a file explorer find the alliance folder, rename it, exit open alliance manager and it recreates and automatically extracts the themes from the zip file for you. problem. solved.! winning.

ok, use es file explorer or the default one to find the alliance folder, change the name from alliance to whatever you wish ( i named it allianceno lol) exit out so the new name is applied, then open the alliance manager go to choose theme, and voila the theme zip files have re-extracted and appear.
