Hi,
I recently rooted and installed Cyanogenmod 13 on my S5 however I've been having issues with the battery. I lose around 20% on idle in an hour. Under clocked my CPU to about min 900 and max 1000MHz and its gotten better, however, still got battery and a little bit of over hearing issues. (gets a little warm on idle which shouldn't at all)
I'd heard its the NFC that's causing these issues so wanted to delete that but I'm unable to mount the system as read and write and I've tried with many programs and the terminal.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Go to developer options in settings, and enable Root for all apps

I have previously set root access for both apps and ADB. However, still cant mount the system as rw.
What are you trying to set it R/W with?
Just use ES File Explorer, enable Root access in the tools left side menu, and edit whichever system file you want

I tried ADB, root explorer, Solid Explorer, Mount /System RO/RW, etc ... and even as you mentioned ES file explorer, however so far none has worked :/
With ES file explorer when I try to mount as RW, it fails to do so for only two folders in the device. both /system and /firmware-modem which I find odd and yes I have enabled root and granted permission.
Any other suggestions? Thanks
System is already RW with ES File Explorer if you have granted Root permissions to it
What are you trying to do?

So basically I'm trying to delete system/app/NfcNci folder. I have attached a photo on how my es file explorer looks for mounting rw and ro. I can mount anything to rw except for the 2 that are ro and remain ro even after setting them to be rw. I have granted root through superSU and the developer options
Thanks
I wonder if it's because you've flashed SuperSU, when CM13 doesn't need it, maybe it's conflicting with the developer options root toggle
When I flashed CM13, I didn't flash SuperSU, I just went straight to developer options, and enabled root for all apps
What happens if you just go ahead and try to delete that file/folder with ES File Explorer (After enabling root in ES left side panel) ?

Yea unfortunately I didn't know cm13 had such option only after flashing with SuperSU
When I do so it just say the file is read only and doesn't delete.
I'm updating cm13 atm. If that doesn't get me anywhere I might full unroot through SuperSU then root with cm13.

I'd just wipe SYSTEM & CACHES from TWRP - flash the latest version of CM13, root from Dev options, and see how you get on there
By doing that, you don't touch your data, installed apps, or anything else, they are on separate partitions - so they'll still be there when you boot back up
So I couldn't just delete caches and system. Because after doing so and flashing CM13 it wouldn't boot up and I tried multiple versions so I ended up wiping everything except for SD data and then installed the latest version. Then rooted through CM13 itself and then was able to give system RW permissions. So all is good now including the battery life. Thank you for your help Detection
Good stuff
Hey people!
I just got a nexus 7 2012 and i am wanting to mount it in my car. So i wanted to do a few things before that.
I updated to official 5.1.1 via OTA. Everything is STOCK
First step was rooting which SEEMED to work (DID it via WUGS). It installed SU and busybox. Next step was to create my own bootanimation
This is where the issues have started. I can not change permissions or move any files to the system directory even with W/R option turned on
I can delete the files but can not copy files to the directories. I can no change permissions in ANY directory.
I have tried in root explorer mounting r/w ES file explorer R/W ... i tried to install a new busy box and it installs then immediately says "you installed but it seems there is an older version on the system" i can not uninstall busybox. I tried mounting in terminal and it says all partitions are EXT 4. I have tried rerooting. Root check says everything is fine. SU seems to be working fine (it elevates permissions for all the root apps).
But for the life of me it will not copy anything into / or /system. :crying:
Should i just forget it and install another rom, WIPE everything and start again? If ROM which one is the best at the moment (nexus 2012)
After 2-3 hours of messing about... I just TWRP and flashed a different SU and it starting working.
EDIT: Fixed by flashing latest factory images via fastboot, then the latest TWRP, then MagiskSU.
Hi there,
I'm rooted on stock 7.1.1 but I can't seem to make write changes consistently on the system partition. I was trying to rename NotoColorEmoji.ttf in /system/fonts so I could copy across the version with the iOS emojis, and somehow the rename worked so it's now named NotoColorEmojiOld.ttf - I managed to do this with root permissions in Solid Explorer. However, when I try and copy across the new NotoColorEmoji.ttf to the fonts folder, Solid Explorer says it's unable to do so. I've tried rebooting into TWRP, mounting system and using the file manager but it fails with Error 1. What's worse is I can't seem to rename NotoColorEmojiOld.ttf back to NotoColorEmoji.ttf either - neither Solid Explorer nor TWRP work for this despite both obviously having root access, both throw errors. As a result I have no emoji font file so all my emojis are blank boxes.
Any help in fixing this would be appreciated!
Try flashing a zip version of notocolor in twrp

Are you using either phh superuser or magisksu?
Try changing your SELinux to Permissive with this app https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524485

I get "set_perm: some changes failed, Updater process ended with ERROR: 7" and it doesn't work.

Nope, just plain old systemless SuperSU.

For some reason the app claims I don't have root permission despite the SuperSU dialog popping up and me granting it root.

Selinux didn't work for me at first on 7.1.1, I got the same error as you. But I went into twrp made sure system mounted, go into twrp terminal and cd into /system/bin and /system/xbin and in both of these directories type in (touch su) with out parenthesis. Reboot and see if that makes selinux changer works now.

That got the app working and I was able to change SELinux to permissive, but I still can't make lasting changes to /system unfortunately.
Bumping - anyone else have any ideas? I'm not so much concerned with not being able to change emoji fonts as I am concerned with the ramifications of not having system write access - if anything breaks or comes up in the future that I need rw system for, I won't be able to fix stuff unless I sort this out.
I'm wanting to change the boot animation on my OnePlus 6T but when I go to move a new bootanimation.zip to
/system/media it say task failed and the .zip file that's there has 0 bytes.
Anyone got any idea why it's not working? Didn't have this issue with any other phone.
Cheers

A couple of reasons.
OnePlus left zero room on system partition. You'd need to remove something beforehand.
Many file explorers, titanium backup, etc are having issues modifying the system partition. Best luck I've had is using the built in file explorer in TWRP.
I literally replaced my bootanimation yesterday. I used a Magisk module for a bootanimation and repalced the bootanimation in the module install location which is on your data partition. This way, you can remove the module and still keep your original bootanimation should you wish to revert back. The bootanimation I used was originally for a 720p screen so I had to modify it for the dimensions of the OP6T (1080 x 2340). I am still trying to work on modifying the Magisk module so it has my bootanimation instead. It didn't work when I tried it yesterday and had to replace the file manually after, which then worked.

You can increase the size of the system partition with this tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/tool-epr-enchilada-partition-resizer-t3963587
I would avoid trying to resize the partitions as suggested above unless you fully understand what it is doing and what issues may arise from messing with the partition tables.
I just put my bootanimation.zip into the system-less hosts Magisk module. I have been using that module for any system files I need to replace. It's nice and simple plus you can revert the changes by just disabling the module.

Can you tell me the name of the module I searched for "system-less host" module but magisk never showed anything. Thanks

It's built into Magisk. In the settings...
Edit:
Also if you understand what I am doing then you will see that you can basically use any Magisk module to accomplish this. It just has to be mounting files against the /system partition. I used the system-less hosts since it literally is only replacing one file on the /system partition so nothing complex was going on with this module.
Hi,
Just upgraded my OP5 to Android 10 official stable version. Rooted successfully with Magisk 20.4
Now I'm trying to do some changes to the system folder but they revert back when I reboot.
1- Trying to replace the emoji with another ttf file, as I always did in Pie but the file gets reverted upon restart.
2- Trying to apply hosts file for ad blocking, same issue the file gets reverted as soon as I restart.
it looks like my system partition is reverting itself for some reason, does anyone know why this happens and how to make the changes stick?
PS: I don't want to enable (Systemless hosts in Magisk) because I'm planning to unroot after doing these changes.
thanks..

Hi Mate,
Ensure to give proper permissions as follows: rw-r--r-- (0644) to the file. If it is a folder, the permissions are: rwxr-xr-x (0755)

You can't mount the system partition as rw directly in Android 10. Here's a thread by topjohnwu (slightly technical, but give it a read) on why: https://twitter.com/topjohnwu/status/1259039809361739776
