I am trying to delete few hidden files created in my internal memory using efs file explorer as well as stock file manager. The files are not getting deleted and i get error sorry operation failed with efs and stock file manager says sorry could not delete due to unknown reasons.
I tried deleting them using pc but they comeback with reboot.
I am rooted.
Kindly advise.

What files?

So I deleted mynet.apk and weatherwidget.apk now I downloaded them to my SD card used and app call ghost commander to copy them the /system/app folder where they are supposed to be except when I go to the folder to find them they are labors as odex files not apk and when I try to rename them it doesn't do anything they still remain odex files. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Replacing/installing sys apps requires a reboot to recognize. I think having the odex file there means you don't have to install/extract the app & then change the permissions & reboot.
& to be able to modify sys files/folders you need root explorer.apk from mkt & within it you mount as r/w
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but is there a way using a CWM zip file to delete files? I'd like to rename or delete the shutdown sound ogg files as part of a zip file that I use for restoring missing apps. Any SUGGESTIONS?
Thanks in advance.

hello ,
Am using galaxy ace and i want to change the default app icons [like My files gallery...etc].I downloaded a copy of my firmware and i was able to extract system.rfs from the md5 file which contained the apk for the music player...etc using 7z,i changed the icons to my custom icons...now I am not able to move the system.rfs to the MD5 file using 7z...does any one know anyway of doing this
P.S Does editing the files do harm when flashing...will this be succesfull?
If you edit rfs files on pc then its corrupted
So make changes in the apk and paste it in /system/app
You can make a new rfs fine too but that needs root and and the need to know which partition is mapped to /system
so can i just place the apk directly on phone through root explorer...but i tried that with an system app [you tube] i dont use ,i changed the icon and placed the apk using root explorer...after that it vanished..i tried rebooting and installing the apk....but it wont install...
I installed a mod using the root manager method. Installation was successful. I downloaded apps after install and they will not run.
more info....what was the mod and what is your system properties? MDC or MDL?

MDLHotspotMod-Odexed
I have a MDL device.
The mod has System and Meta-INF folders. I installed using System folder only. Was I supposed to install files from Meta-INF folder somewhere?
I followed the instructions using (How to install a mod using a root file manager)
There is no mention of installing meta INF
humm. try rebooting to your custom recovery, wipe caches and fix permissions
Goto settings & check Unknown Sources

This is happening for me too. Did you find a fix?
On a rooted phone, when i try to copy specific apk files to system partition, app or priv-app, it fails with error "copy failed" in root explorer, some other explorer states insufficient space, etc.
Does anyone know why this is happening and why the ROM is blocking the copy? Is there mechanism that is blocking the copy or move? Is there a way to copy it.
Strangely even recovery flashing though successful truncates the file, for e.g. a 14mb file shows up as 13mb and is corrupt and of no use.
Also tried skipping signature check by modding services.jar but no luck. ...inputs would be greatly appreciated
