[Q] Modify or add directories to SYS folder - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello I was wondering if there was any way to add directories to the sys folder... I tried to add the directories to the ROM before flashing and Ive also tried to add them in Root Explorer with all necesarry permissions enabled.
I need to add the directories so a init.d script I am trying to add will work?
My phone is a rooted Samsung Epic 4g Touch please ask if any more details are needed
Thanks in advance

[Q] Permissions of a db file is changing without notice

Hi all!
I have created a script that reads a .db file and exports a .txt file based on the data contained in the database.
That script actually works only with the root user but I would prefer not to use root for this.
The problem seems to be that when the db file is updated (after exiting Epistle, a note editor) it loses all the permissions I gave it with chmod. The db file is located inside /system
Thanks and regards.
In case you want to know, I'm trying to execute a script after modifying some notes (with Epistle) that will export every note to a different txt file.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Sorry about that
Can anyone lend a hand? I'm trying to make an application be able to access the data of another one. If you want to know, I'm trying to make Tasker access the database of Epistle (a text editor)
Thanks!

[Q] init.d folder missing

Hi all, I'm trying to install boot up scripts for GPU undervolting and Scoobydoo. I need to paste those scripts under /etc/init.d directory. I do find the etc folder, but couldn't find the init.d folder. I use Es File explorer on a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE with JB, rooted and with Perseus alpha 25.1 Kernel.
Also I'm not able to create an init.d directory. It says "Operation failed". Is it already existing there and not visible ? Or is it a permission issue ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Use a file manager with root and look for the init.d folder under system/etc if its not there simply create it

Create it with the script file inside and copy folder from PC to SD card and then copy and paste in system/etc using ESF
Then set permissions for both the script and folder to RWXRWXRWX

Im sorry but dont tell someone to set permissions for a script alot of scripts require different permissions and point to locations where specific permissions are needed

What? This one requires at least 755, so 777 will allow the script to at least run.
And don't tell me what to do or not...
Hey, Thanks guys, I was finally able to create the folder. I tried all different settings but to no avail. Finally I re-booted the phone, and was able to create the folder.

Script to delete-all?

Hi Folks, I'm trying to modify a de-bloat script to remove all sounds from the UI folder. Can someone help me out with the command?
Here is what I've tried so far that hasn't worked.
delete("/system/media/audio/ui/);
delete("/system/media/audio/ui/*);
delete("/system/media/audio/ui/*.*);
delete("/system/media/audio/ui/*.ogg);
None of this works. What would be the proper command to delete all files in a particular folder?
I ended up deleting the entire folder instead of folder contents.
