2.copy it by using rrot explorer
3.paste it to sys/app file

You need to Root your phone. You can then change the permissions, via Root Explorer, to make that directory R/W.

Hy.
I want to paste files to system folder from sd card via root explorer (not old version), but it says that i cant because the file system is read-only.I know ,i had to press the button to mount the folder to r/w, but i havent got tis button anywhere.I repeat: im not using old version of root explorer (i tried 2.5.1 and 2.9.3 but the same problem). My phone is xperia x8 (android v 2.1.1).Please help.Sorry for my english, its not my native language
I use File Expert but I had the same problem. I don't know whether this solution is available or not, but it's worth a shot right?
You should first go to settings ---> File explorer settings ---> 'tick' Root Explorer
Then the mount option should appear. Try and see
using file export and I can't paste to system folder.

I'm trying to paste a file to the system folder, I have root expert ticked and mounted the folder. But it keeps saying "operation failed", please help.
In File Expert you should mount system as read-write manualy no matter that root explorer option is ticked on.

Silly question but are you rooted? That's the main thing that springs to mind here that and are you sure you've granted root explorer su permissions?

I have uploaded this for you http://www.uploadking.com/FPQY1WR1CK
Extract files to sd card, then you have to use root explore to copy/paste or move both files on phone's system/app
Before trying to do the copy/paste thing or move you have to to press mount R/W on root explorer which you can download from here - latest version http://www.uploadking.com/ZU9P6WP896
Reboot your phone...YOU GOT TORCH!!!!!

Why not get one from the Market. There are lots of torch/flashlight apps. Free too. Your English is fine, no need to apologise.

Default font folder and Wallpaper folder

Help please. I've been searching for days for the default font folder of the Galaxy S III at the internal sd card. Unfortunately I can't seem to find it. Is it really hidden by any chance? Same with the default folder for the S III Wallpapers ?
My phone is not rooted, everything is stock. I've heard of font changer but it requires root. Searching for a nonroot solution if it is possible.
Thank you for your patience and tolerance.
Fonts are in /system/fonts but you will not be able to acces to this folder without root
For wallpaper, there is no folder: there are in one of the apk from samsung which should be in /system/app but no access to this folder without root
http://db.tt/6IPuyLf3
download it from here and install
and check settings > display > font style

Or you can use ES Explorer w/ root access, then go to /system/app/. Select 'secwallpaperchooser.apk' and extract all the files wherever you like using ESExplorer menu on the right (let's say SD card). You will find all the .jpg in Storage/ExtSdCard/res/drawable-xddpi folder.
Hope it'll help

[Q] Apk in system/app help

I tried to copy and paste an apk into the system/app folder, but then Root Explorer told me "Not enough free space", so how do I fix this???
Backup and uninstall (with Titanium Backup) any unnecessary apk's.

Yeah you can uninstall any system apps like default launcher(of you are comfortable using other) to free up space...uninstall root apps only with root uninstaller

You could try switching from the regular gapps file (appx 50mb), to the small (apx 25).

[Q] Questio regarding file permissions

I have rooted my android phone (an MTK6577 with Android 4.1.1)
I downloaded ES File Explorer and in the settings turned on rot explorer.
I have a file on the SD card which I need to copy to the 'system/etc' directory - BUT - when I try to 'paste' it I get the error 'Permission denied'.
What else do I need to do that I am missing to allow the paste operation.
Any advice/comments appreciated.
Thanks
Change to read/write from read only
Also, I highly recommend root explorer found on Google play, by far the best root file explorer for android (having tried many)

Used Root Explorer (which I also found better) and all is sorted.
