how to delete files from following folder:
/mnt/shell/emulated/
!ReadyToFlash
0\^^
I have set the permission with RootExplorer but cannot delete them. It was wrong pushing with toolkit.
Try the path /data/media to the files and see if you can delete them from there.

Hi all!
While using Root Explorer I came across two folders, /data/local/tmp/ and /data/drm/tmp/ which have the apk files of the programs I have on my phone. As far as I know the essential apks are in the /data/app/ folder, so is it safe to delete the contents of the first two folders?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, I do this all the time You must know that /data/drm/tmp seems symlinked to /data/local/tmp, so when you delete the apks in one folder, the other ones should disappear, too, but I'm not sure honestly...but you can delete them safely
Thanks a lot

How this you go about installing it ? Am assuming if you managed to delete it you must have rooted and got adb running or Root Explorer.
If you have root explorer and have placed the files in system/app the only issue I think you have is with the permission.
Mount as RW
Navigate to system/app , long press the mms.apk and select permissions, change the permissions to
Read Write
Read
Read
Now do the same for the other file, once your done check below your file description , the permissions should now be similar to the other files present there.
Mount as RO
Reboot,
hopefully it should work.
Cheers,
Vikram.

I think that only .apk will be needed. .odex exist after start of application, so I think that it is only some cashe/data file.
My mms.apk can try download here.
I've tried copying the apk from downloads and pasting it into /system/app but i just get an error saying access denied at the end!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

I've tried to find it, but just can't find out for the life of me!
You need Root Explorer, ES Explorer or similar. Before you paste into /system/app you must mount /system as read/write within the app, then paste your file in. Once there, tap and hold on the file and a menu will appear with an option to fix permissions. You need to set owner with read/write and group and world with read only (it looks like rw-r--r--).

That's the bit i'm struggling with!
I'm sure i sound a complete retard, but i've tried long pressing on the system folder and i can't see any way to change permissions(i've checked properties but i can't edit any permissions)
I'm using ES Explorer, i have astro file manager too, but still struggling!
Sorry if i'm being a pain
EDIT: I've found the problem... i didnt enable root browser in the options ¬_¬
sorted it for now i think!
Thanks a load both of you
EDIT #2: I've changed the permissions, then something forceclosed, and now i've restarted and am stuck on the google screen on boot not good i assume!
I can't do anything with the device now!
did you change permissions on just the wallet.apk file?

nope, that's where i went wrong, so i've restored and re-rooted!
I'm such a fool!
i transferred a folder via adb to an empty 'sdcard' and while i can still write to it, i cannot delete anything. i have looked at permissions and all seems fine, but its not letting me.
a series of chowns solved this..

There's something in TWRP to delete files. I was unable to delete a clockworkmod file through the PC or file explorer, but the TWRP thing worked. Also, I noticed when you add or delete files (mostly delete), it doesn't show up until after a reboot.
Hi guys,
I would like to modify the build.prop file to introduce the following content.
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100
I tried to do that using Explorer but my G2 stucked at the logo screen. Here below the steps that I followed.

2. App root permissions
3. Copy of the build.prop into another folder
4. Modify of the copied build.prop
5. Save of the modified build.prop
6. Copy/Paste of the modified build.prop into /system folder and confirm the substitution

Modify the build.prop in its original original location itself and then save it & reboot, don't copy build.prop to other folder then modify it and then re-paste in it's original location you'll stuck with a bootloop, just modify it in it's original location. Btw next time before making a thread do make sure where should it belong this is a [Q] Question thread so should have been in QA, help & troubleshooting section, next time be sure to know where you have to make a new thread.
My apologies for the wrong section. I'm new sorry.
However, I forget to write that what you just suggested (modify it directly without make a copy) it's the first thing that I tried but with no success.
After I pressed the button save, Explorer app prompts an advise saying that an error occured and that the changes have not been applied.
And now? :crying:

In system > build.prop (original location) is the device mounted to R/W?
Hi,
First, this line "ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100" does nothing...
After that if you change the location of a file, when you move it again you need to set the correct permissions like the original files, other than that you can encounter a bootloop.
Like RuchRha said modifie the file directly, no need to move it...
And if I were you I'll make a Nandroid backup before playing with file system...
These are the file permissions that I see into the file properties.
rw- r-- r--
Is this what you was asking me?

If you can see an option of Mount R/W instead click on it and it should change/show you Mount R/O instead of showing mount R/W, when the time when system is not mounted to R/W and you try to edit buildprop and save it, it shows error n doesn't gets saved.

Nope,
Read Only system:
Read/Write:
You need to mount the system as R/W.
EDIT: too late...
To the best of my uderstanding the free version does not permit such kind of change.
Is there any free app that I can use?
