I see my system notifications are stored in /system/media/notifications but even with root Im not able to drop a new file withing this directory. I would like to do this because Handcent doesnt give me the option to select a different directory.
Any suggestions on either dropping a new sound file in the /system/media dir or using a custom sound file for Handcent?
Thanks
You should be able to put something in /sdcard/media/notifications
You have to mount system with root explorer, ADB, etc. It's read only by default.

I've tried a root file manager without success. Is it possible to change the directory permissions using ADB?

If you use root explorer, there is a little button in the upper right that toggles read write permissions.
Sweet
For the next person, I can confirm this does work, you just need to make sure the permissions are correctly set on each file and the phone (or SMS) app needs to be restarted to take effect.
Thanks everyone.
P.S. I hope you guys get a commission!

Root your device and use Root Uninstaller (for example) to remove it.

Any File Manager that can mount /system partition as read and write (i.e. ES File Explorer) will do. Don't forget remounting it back to ro.
Furthermore, as a good practice follow the guidelines below to avoid unpleasant surprises.
1. First try to freeze the app in question and restart the phone
2. Check the major functionality of the phone to ensure nothing was effected
3. Defrost, do not uninstall under any circumstances, the app again and in your choice of file explorer navigate to /system/app folder
4. Carefully look at the above mentioned folder to see if you spot the main .apk along similar file with service, provider, or plugin suffixes
5. Now simply select the files and copy, not delete or cut, and copy them to your SDCard. Always backup anything is about to be removed from /system/app
6. Now delete the same files that you copied before
7. Next we need to wipe the dalvik cache folder and wipe the cache from android recovery system. Yes, all these steps are necessary as a good practice of removing a system app. Navigate to /data/dalvik-cache folder and delete all files by selecting all files first and then delete. It never harms to wipe this folder and don't worry if your phone starts force closing constantly, just pull your battery out and before turning it on follow the next step.
8. Make sure the phone is shut down first. While holding down the volume down key turn the phone on and keep pressing the turn-on button as well until a message is shown on screen. I think the message says Fast Boot Menu or something.
9. Toggle through the menu by volume down key only until you get to Android Recovery System. If you passed the menu option keep press the volume down, do not press the up key as that one is designated for selection key on the screen you are looking at.
10. Once Android Recovery System is being shown press the Volume Up key to select the menu option.
11. Wait until the Android image is shown on the screen. Then press both vol up and down at same time. With Atrix this is very easy as it has very nice layout to it
12. You would be presented by a new menu now. Select the last menu option, Wipe Cache, and press the turn-on switch
13. After the cache is wiped the restart system menu option would be selected by default, press the turn-on button again to restart the phone. Congratulation! the arabware is removed now.
The advantage of following the above steps is that, should you regret and want to reinstall a previously removed system app then all previous settings would be remained intact. Of course as long as you don't do a complete ROM flash later. You can also use the same method as above to remove any unwanted system apps. I would open a new thread soon to describe how I optimised my Atrix on Stock ROM.
Good Luck
Hi,
Has anyone ever noticed that a "paste" function stopped working after 4.1.1 update ?
I can copy a block of text into a clipboard, but I can't paste it.

No such issue. Have you flashed with Custom ROM? Is your phone rooted? Provide more info here in order for forum members to help you.
Sorry, forgot to provide all the details.
I was on a stock 4.0.4 (unbranded netherlands), then flashed 4.1.1 that was released on 31/10 via Odin. Also I did wipe cache via android recovery.
The phone is non-rooted.
In 4.0.4 I had the common problem with not working "copy". Every time I tried to copy something into the clipboard the app just crashed.
Now I can copy, but can't paste.
For example, I open a webpage in Chrome browser and copy a street name. Then go to Maps app and pressing on a search box waiting for "paste" menu to pop up. But nothing happens.
Emmm, long press?

I had the same problem when I flashed the Polish JB stock ROM a few weeks back. Now running AOKP and haven't had the problem come up again, that solved it for me at least .

I had the same issue once.. i don't remember how I solved it, but there is an easier solution somewhere here than I had done it..
Try searching for "clipboard" on here. Surely you will find something. As I recall it was something to do with the clipboard folder in the system files.

Hi.
Same case, JB 4.1.1 cant paste.
I tried many things (wipe cache/dalvik reinstall same room) but finally i solved with this:
You can try to delete all files and folders inside /data/clipboard, obviously you need any filexplorer with root access like "ES File Explore, root explorer etc...., and aply root RW permissions
Don't delete "clipboard" folder, only their content.
Reboot after.
Trying to install cm10 mms.apk through Root Explorer, but says system/apps folder is read only. Am I going about this the right way? Currently rooted and running PA.

In root explorer you should see a button in the top right corner that says "Mount R/W"
Click on that button first, then you should be able to delete/replace the old mms.apk.
Also once you replace it make sure that you long press the apk, go to permissions, and change it to rw-r-r.
Perfect. Thanks.

Hey all. I'm trying to edit some of the system files like build.prop but after opening it with my files explorer editor and editing, I can't save it with the changes I've made. I'm running rastakat 4.4 KRT16O build. Any suggestions?

You need to edit it with a root explorer, like ES File Explorer with root enabled, or copy the build.prop to your /sdcard folder, edit it, then copy it back and fix the file permission to rw-r-r, or 644. You can also download build.prop editor apps.
Thanks for fast response. Already using es files explorer. Where can I find that option? Also please let me know how to change permissions if I use the copy / paste option.

Swipe from left to right in the gray bar in the bottom to bring up the menu, tap on Tools to expand it, turn on "Root Explorer" option, grant it Superuser privilege. Wait a few seconds you will see a white window pop up, select Mount R/W, make sure all the paths are set to RW.
If you don't see the white popup window, tap on the word "Root Explorer" listed under Tools and it will pop up.
