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

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,
I am trying to do the WPA suplicant file swap but I cannot get swap to stick. I paste the new file over the original but nothing changes. The file still reads Oct 14th when the new one should read nov 28.
The problem seems to be the inability to change mount r/o to mount r/w/. I can only click the Mount rab when I am in the first folder. As soon as I click on the System folder the Mount button greys out and does nothing.
When I try to delete the original WPA file it comes back as soon as I leave the folder, if I copy the new one over the old one the old one remains.
any ideas?
btw: sprint Tab
Exact same problem here, Root Explorer had served me well on other Android devices but this time, no go. There must be some extra protection on the tab, not sure how to defeat it...
I presume you are rooted, and the Superuser app shows that Root Explorer has been granted root privileges?
Regards,
Dave
^ Thanks for for tip.
I have been experiencing the same problems with my Captivate...couldn't get Root Explorer to mount as R/W. Took a look at Superuser and sure enough Root Explorer was not being granted the permissions. So went into recovery and re-rooted and after reboot it was good to go...Root Explorer was listed as one of the apps in Superuser that had been granted permissions and I was able to mount as R/W.
I know that I have a Captivate and not a Galaxy Tab, but this is subject related and just wanted to share my learning experience and appreciation for the help from others even when searching outside of my device forum.
I've been running cm7 nightlies and now stable 7.0 for some time now. I have the new radio, ladios' kernel, and the sdcard read fix flashed.
I installed super manager and successfully deleted some of the stock cm7 media off my phone last week. Today, I came across the new GPS.conf files and wanted to try them.
Super manager couldn't switch the system to r/w despite saying "ok"
When I try to delete or write in the system with EStrongs file explorer, ghost commander, or android mate, they all give strange errors. The deleted files disappear but reappear after reboot. If I try to paste a file in system/etc I only get an error.
Superuser is successfully allowing permissions. I have the latest busybox. I have r/w enabled in each file manager.
I even tried an adb push test which first said "system is r/o only". The next try was "successful" but didn't do anything.
I'm still new with adb so I probably did something wrong. I typed in that r/w command, mount now shows: /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system type yaffs2 (rw,relatime)
I can't figure out what changed and what I need to do to get r/w permissions. My only theory is that i had uninstalled and reinstalled super manager earlier and that somehow messed with my permissions.
You cannot permanently modify the system partition while the phone is booted into Android. The only way is to use adb while the phone is in recovery mode. Any changes you make while the phone is booted will be lost after a reboot.
Go check on those media files you thought you deleted. I bet you'll find they are still there.
Yes that worked. Thank you.
I thought I had read somewhere that you had to be booted to adb push.
I also thought that root managers advertising r/w capability would make permanent changes.
Next question:
Can I add and remove files from the cm7 zip before flashing it? Do I have to rezip it in any special or can windows 7 manage it fine?
EDIT: Ok I guess i need to sign it... lets see...

It really is as simple as adding or removing a few files from the zip file if you want to modify it.
I can't delete any system apps with it anymore, does anybody else have the same problem or even a fix for it?
Working fine on 6.01 for me, Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling it?
I just updated to 6.0.1 myself, rooted using superSU 2.61. I too cannot delete system apps using titanium. I tried to uninstalled and reinstall the app (via playstore) but it didn't help.
I also tried to do the same via the root explorer option in ES file explorer and it didn't work. I tried to toggle the root explorer option in ES, but after I turned it off I couldn't turn it on again. Root checker does say that I have root, and other root apps e.g. adaway, xprivacy still work.
Any help and suggestion is most welcome!

Some people still want to recover the space.
With systemless root you will need to modify the system in TWRP to get titanium and ES working correctly.
It's as simple as going into TWRP and mounting the system R/W.
You then need to open the terminal in the following places:
/system/bin and execute "touch su"
/system/xbin and execute "touch su"
This will create zero byte files for SuperSu to come along and swap/link to on boot so that ES and TiBu can ask for root and get it.
They will then operate as you expect.; with the caveat that you are on your own when you start tinkering and may break something.

Pretty sure you lose Android Pay with this method though, just FYI if you care about that.
But if you are running Xposed you broke it anyway. There is a way to get it working.
You will need to remove the empty su files you just created to be able to add cards.
You will need to use a Xposed module to hide modifications to the system so that the device check comes back clean.
It's a pain, but if you want Xposed, TiBu, ES and Android Pay, that is the price.

I usually use this app:

I'm not on 6.0.1 at the moment so I can't test if it works. Anyone wanna test it out and report back?

Do you think this will work with my hard bricked phone?
so if our system is still ro, all we have to do is mount rw every time? I was hoping that we would only need to mount it like one time, because im basically doing the same thing I was doing before.

I use ES File Explorer. Open the app, wait for su to grant it access, then change the system to RW. I've noticed that the phone will freeze if I tried to switch to RW before the File Explorer was granted su access.

I noticed that too. I also tried to see if root explorer would mount rw after I used es to mount rw, and it turns out that u still have to mount system separately in both file managers. Bummer because I was looking for a way to always have my system mounted as rw between both file managers.

I'm guessing once a custom rom is available, the whole system RW situation will be situated. Is there an advantage of root explorer over es explorer?

I've looked all over and I'm unable to find a solution or even what's stopping me from modifying the /system folder in the root directory. I can remove files from that folder and all of it's subfolders but I'm unable to add any files into that directory. I am rooted on the T-mobile OnePlus 6t that has been converted to the international ROM. I know my root works cause I can perform other root functions. I also cannot modify the /system folder from TWRP either which is really strange to me. Also, when TWRP prompts me to install the app, it just reboots recovery since it's trying to install it as a system app which I can't do for this odd reason I have yet to find out. This issue all of a sudden showed up after an OTA update and re-rooting after. I have tried reinstalling TWRP, Magisk and Oxygen OS itself but the issue persists. I have also tried running "reboot disemmcwp" as root in a terminal window AND using adb but I guess that command no longer works. Any suggestions welcome as this is the last place I can find an answer to this issue.
Edit: found out I'm unable to uninstall system apps for some reason. So the issue isn't space related.

I was actually able to find the issue. Space was the issue. I guess there's a space buffer needed from what a file explorer says is left and what's actually left. I uninstalled a couple system apps I disable anyway and was able to insert files/apps into system again.
I made space easy I have the new OnePlus camera apk 125mb the old one is 67mb
