Just did everything to my g2 at once today, and lost one of my fav features; swype...i have cyanogenmod-6.1.0-RC3-vision... i went and downloaded the stock rom and pulled the apk file from it and when i installed it, it kept force closing. i even tried pushing it via abd but kept getting errors.. can someone please help
You need to grab libSwypeCore.so from /system/lib and push it to same directory on new ROM.

Just download the apk provided by oldsk00lz to recover swype from your clockwork backup. It worked for me.

the first line of code changes your system to READ/WRITE I use root explorer to change it back to READ-ONLY or just reboot.
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
adb push libSwypeCore.so /system/lib
adb install Swype.apk
for the code I wrote to work for you the files need to be in the same folder that the adb.exe runs out of. this is usually located in the tools folder in the android SDK otherwise you have to type the full path ie
this is on windows 7 on my computer so file path will be different for you
Code:
adb push C:\users\etnie\downloads\G2\libSwypeCore.so /system/lib
hope that helps
I have rooted and installed CWR. I have Supperuser installed also. When I try to change the gps.conf file to point to us.pool.ntp.org, I get an error saying the that /system is read only. Any ideas on how to fix this?
You need to mount /system as read/write before you can write to it.
In Root Explorer, you can click the R/W (or R/O) button at the top to enable writing.
I tried that and it say the file has been saved. However when I open the file again the changes are not there.
From my post the other day at forums.lenovo.com--
Best: ES File Explorer (with root permission and /system writeable checked in settings)
Navigate to file, click, choose text, choose ES Note Editor, edit the file as needed, choose save when prompted.
You can change permissions with ES as well.
I like that it automatically makes a *.bak file of whatever you edit and save.
I have tried changing the permission using root explorer, which resulted with this error "Permissions change was not successful. Please not that some file systems(eg SD card) do not allow permission changes. " I also tried using ES File Explorer but it still will not allow me to edit or delete the file.
@dwilli40 - Did you set root permission and /system writeable in ES settings?
Yes, I did enable root permission and /system writeable in ES settings.
I had a similar Problem on my device, seems that the normal mount doesn't work always. In my case i got write permission with:
busybox mount -o rw,rewrite /system

if you don't know how to do it manually, use a app !
fasterfix for example....
if it doesn't work, it means that you don't have root
Thanks quyTam . That one did it for me.
Any way to do this without recovery?
It's absolutely no need for recovery !
But root is needed.
I was thinking it did because I couldn't get /system to stay mounted as rw under adb shell or with total commander
What should I be doing?
GPS Monitor Premium is able to do this, too, and more. It's a little heavier, but I don't feel like I need GPS Test anymore. It's a slick little app, and the dev is very kind.

are you root ?
Did the GPS change you made work? Is you tablet actually grabbing satellites over North America?

Yes.
If I mount from adb shell su and then exit (after checking mount) for adb push it does not retain rw.
Doing the mount command from Total Commander fails. Checking the box to mount /system from ES File Explorer does nothing.
Yes, the change to gps made a huge difference. I went from taking 5 minutes or more to find my location to almost instantly.

Did you change the gpsconfig.xml file in /system/etc/gps folder? And if you did, which line(s) did you edit? I'm looking at the file in Notepad++ just trying to comb through it all and I don't see us.pool.ntp.org or asia.pool.ntp.ord anywhere..
Thanks
---
Never mind, just found the gps.conf file in the root of /etc. FasterFix did indeed change the Asian setting to a north-american.pool.ntp.org. I'll give this a try today, and if it can't find me in under 3 minutes, i'll try changing it to us.pool.ntp.org and see if that makes a difference.
Does anyone know where to get the busybox binary that will work on the nexus 10? Also, how do you manually copy it to the system folder? I'm rooted and on the stock ROM. File explorer used to have an option to remount a partition in read write mode but am not seeing this option now. Anyone know the syntax to remount the system partition with write? I have root and can get shell on the file system.
TIA

You can grab busybox off the market, things like esFile explorer , root explorer, has options to remount RW , or you could just install a custom manta kernel ..
Hi!
Hi all!
I rooted my Nexus 7 Wifi 2012 (OS: 4.4.4) with Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh. So, I want to push an app into System/App, but I am unable to! I get read-only/task failed error when I try to using Es File Explorer or Root Explorer!
Tried copying through CMD:
adb shell
su
adb push xxxx /system/app
But I get device not found! Later I found out that you need to mount /system! This is the problem I am unable to fix!
Tried Total Commander, ES File Explorer, CMD and I am getting permission denied! Apps say successfully mounted, but it isn't
So, are there any kernels or whatever which support mounting the sd card? (Totally noob! I don't even know what a kernel is, lol)
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks!
It should work. Try updating super user and busy box. As for the sdcard and KitKat there are sdfix apps in play store.

I similarly just unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7 (2012/3G) with a full fresh installation of 4.4.4 using Wug's tool and cannot move anything into system/app without a permission denied/copy failed issue. I similarly tried doing this through TWRP (Advanced > File Manager) in recovery and still a no go.
I've tried everything I can think of and can't seem to get this to work. I also tried the SDFix in the Play Store and no luck.
I've also tried installing BusyBox in both xbin and bin...still no luck.

I *think* I got this fixed. Give it a try and let me know. Go into Root Explorer (or ES File or whatever you choose) and copy "su" from "/system/xbin" to "/system/bin".
Have su in both locations is what got this working for me...for now.
Hi,
I've unrooted my smartphone (Gionee Elife E7) , but was left a file back (ku.sud in xbin folder) that is impossible to clean completely the root track.
Whenever I try to remove it , it says "Operation not permited." I've tried to remove through a file explorer (EsFileExplorer) and also via a terminal emulator. The folder /system is mounted with read and writing permissions.
