So havent see this posted but just letting you guys know if you wanted to customize your User Interface (ui) sounds if your rooted. Go to /system/media/audio/ui and you can add sounds to that folder. Just make sure you name it the same as it is in the folder and that its mp3 format. Also make sure you mount it as R/O with root explorer so u can delete notifications/ringtones from their respective places. Another thing is if u delete the notifications or ringtones that are stock you can still get OTA it eont affect it.

i keep this message "you cannot paste here because the file system is read only." it says its mounted as r/o
I think the op meant r/w (read write) and not r/o (read only) as you can't make modifications when r/o.

ok, since you pushed it to system/app, there is no need to install the apk, just reboot your phone

Do you mean the set permissions check boxes? Then long press the pasted app and select permissions. Then select the desired permissions (generally user-rw, group-r, other-r, for system apps). Then just reboot the phone.

Yes, in the top right corner of the system/app folder change mode to R/W (Read/Write)
You are probably in Read Only mode.
And I believe you need Root Explorer Pro to do this.

Just saw this...nexus prime boot animation. Its in a flashable zip, but I tried & it didn't work so I extracted the bootanimation.zip & placed it in the system/media folder. I got it to work after that. Looks cool. Ill try to provide a dropbox link with the zip if I can...

Edit: here's the zip I extracted http://db.tt/RiwoxsLN
Installed it earlier as well
You guys are better then me. I downloaded it and it wouldn't flash...of course, so I put it in the folder you said and I still get the eclipse boot. Any ideas?

Check the data\local\
Sometimes bootanimations are put there.
I had a problem with bootanimations and no matter what I did, I still got a different one, but when I SBF to 2.3.4, it worked again. so check data\local and if that doesn't work, maybe a SBF will.

Did you use the zip I posted in the link above? You have to place the zip in system/media. Rename the old bootanimation to bootanimation.zip.bak so you can use later if you choose. also make sure your change the permissions to r-w-r-r
OK good I am new to this I got the zip moved and found where the permissions are but the check mark dont make sense as to what u are saying

Just saw ur edit...thought it was a signature and skipped it lol
I'm having issues copying the zip to system/media.
It says it is read-only.
I clicked on Mount R/W in the Media Folder.
Am I changing the permission on the Media folder?
Keeps telling me the file system is read only.
Can someone offer a bit more instructions? THX

Are ya using root explorer?
Try just mounting /system as r/w and media will be included.
I wouldn't go messing wit permission on system folder manual checking boxes. Only time I did that I had to sbf lol...but I was changing /system permission using checkboxes
Yes, root explorer and I did touch the Mount R/w on System...still says you can't paste here because the file system is read only. I'm on Eclipse 1.1

Did u try reboot and start again?
It SHOULD allow u to mount system r/w
That is if u are rooted. Lol
All u should have to do to be able to do stuff to /system files is touch the gray button on top that says Mount r/w
it should change.to saying " mount r/o" when ur system is editable.
Does it gave DIRECTLY to the left of that gray button "r/w" after the total memory used/available?
Oh...I'm awake now.
It works when the button displays Mount R/O.
I read it as that meant it was currently set to Read/Only.
Not that was to toggle it to R/O.
THANKS MAN
I thought that is what was happening
Believe me I've been there...that's why I asked those questions like that lol ..I was hoping u didn't take it as me thinking u were dumb lol...just been there done that before...red bull always seems to help me in a situation like that Haha...

I have my custom ringtones that I use, and it's annoying trying to scroll through all the stock ringtones. I have ES File Explorer and when I go to delete all those ringtones says those files can't be deleted? Won't even let me delete that folder as a whole.

It's a root feature isn't it? Try using Root Browser Lite or something that has root access. Not sure if ES does.

Make sure you have root access enabled and system mounted as writable.
They are in ES file explorer's settings all the way at the bottom.

I thought he said "custom ringtone" which should be in the user /sdcard/media/ringtones directory.
I don't why he couldn't delete it.
He only wants to use the custom ones. He wants to get rid of the stock ones. Adding a no media would work too.

I must be doing something wrong, can't figure this out. Even the instructions on here and videos online I find seem to be for older version of ES File b/c it looks nothing like mine. They say to go to settings, check off root explorer and check mount file systems.... there's no settings like that in my settings.
There's another option on mine through "fast access" where you click root explorer and gives you options like one key install, mount r/w etc. But not sure, see what you guys say before I play around with it lol.

They revamped all the menus, I had to play around with it but you need to click on the mount r/w and a su request will pop up, then click OK to all the things you want as r/w. I was able to delete some of the files after I did all that.

If you indeed are using ES File Explorer then there must be a setting for that, regardless which version.
I'm using it from v1 to v2 and recently v3.
It's there, look for it.

Forgot to update, this worked. Thanks! I had to check off r/w for system and it worked. You have to click that top left icon, go to tools, and scroll down to Root Explorer
So, long story short I rooted my phone with the sole intention of getting rid of bloatware... I did that, and along with it deleted something I now regret. I deleted the file that allows you to choose live wallpapers(along with the wallpapers themselves.) Is there anyway for me to get this back without having to lose my phones current state? Thank you in advance.

It's not allowing me to install it! Whenever I go to install it on my phone, it says the install fails.
Have you checked Install From Unknown Sources? I think it's under security options.

If you are trying to replace a system app, you probably need to push it to system and set permissions as rw- r-- r--. Many system apps will not install.
Thank you sir. I knew there was something I was forgetting.

How do I go about doing that? I appreciate the help you guys are giving me.
You need a root level file browser app like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer. Navigate to where you have the file on your phone (I recommend putting it somewhere easy to find like Downloads folder), copy the apk (long press, select Copy). Go to the root of your phone. It's named / just that symbol. Then scroll down to system, tap that. Then tap app. Inside the /system/app folder paste the apk. Depending on which file browser you have, you change permissions differently.

Everytime I try and change permissions of anything it says "Sorry, operation failed." any thoughts?
Mount system as RW. Default is RO (Read Only as opposed to Read Write).
