ESFileExplorer works great.
For file permission, you would have to adb shell/session, busybox, or use a terminal. Then type in the following command
- su
- chmod 755 "file location"
I think right clicking and going into properties on the file and changing it that waywhile the tab is mounted as usb storage also works.
you can also ise ES File Explorer to go to the directory and click on the menu (3 stacked horizontal bars) and find settings where you can enable root access and RW/RO toggling

Ok so I have rooted my Hero and all is well. I've been trying to replace the sound files in system/media/audio/ui where the keyboard sounds are. I find that I cannot move a file into that folder, or apparently any of those folders. When I try to paste a copied or cut file using root explorer into the ui folder, the file just doesn't appear.
Why is this?

have you tried with and without file extention?
Yes. Root explorer just won't let me move any files around in the phone memory. Do I have to do it using adb?
I have a feeling its Root Explorer not working properly in Hero.
I could do this easily on my magic, but I get the same thing - looks like its copied the file, but when I paste, nothing happens at all.
I did manage to delete the Stocks app. from the device (don't use it or need it) using root explorer but other attempts to copy and pasdte have failed.
I have however managed to successfully use Astro File Manager to copy a wallpaper file from the device memory and paste to the SDcard. Will explore Astro a little further and see if it can do more on the device.

Phew, not just me being thick then....
I spent most of today trying to backup an .apk from /data/app-private to /sdcard. No luck with Root Explorer, adb pull or a 'cp' from the shell. "Remote file does not exist" was the result of the last two, but it's displayed by ls.
I think anything in app-private is a no go anyway as it contains copy protected apps. With regard to astro - it can copy from device in certain locations, and paste to sd to back up, but it can't delete from the device, and it can't copy or move files to the device.

Hmm, thanks Daisy. Will get on to the app's developer, as it was his advice to gain the ability to change location settings that I tried to follow.

Try
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /data/app-private/some.app.apk > /sdcard/some.app.apk
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/some.app.apk some.app.apk
...it worked for me on a stock, rooted HTC Hero.

Unless you made other changes than rooting, the /system partition is mounted read-only by default. As far as I know, you'll have to follow one of the root guides to mount it read-write (like you probably did to get /system/bin/su in place) and then do whatever changes you'd like.
Personally, I got tired of the boot audio real fast, so I changed useAudio in /system/media/boot_animation.xml from "1" to "0". Ahh, blessed boot silence...

And work it did for me also! Many thanks for your help - I really appreciate it.
Hi,
I want to over-right the framework-res.apk file to mod the battery icon but in Root explorer it says the file is read-only and when I try Android Commander it says I need root to do this. I know I have root working as titanium backup works. So how comes I can't copy over this file?
You need to mount your system patition as r/w.
Before pasting the modified framework-res.apk, click on the "mount r/w" button at the top of the Root Explorer window. Then you'll be able to overwrite it.
Don't forget to click the button again (which is now "mount r/o") to remount the system partition as read only again.

Using root eksplorer to push framework.apk is a good way to get the boot loops, so remember to check that the new framewourk.apk it is the same version you are running.

Right, it is actually very recommended to make this check even when using ADB or ODIN to push a new framework-res.apk version. I got myself into many bootloops skipping this test when I had my first Android phone
OK ...
Samsung Fascinate SCH-i500
Rooted via SuperOneClick
Current ROM I am test driving on my phone is PWGB beta version (latest v 10/2011)
red versionCWM and verified I have busybox install.
installed Astro File Manager & Dual File Manager XT & Terminal Emulator.
MY NEED FOR ANSWERS:
I have a new bootanimation.zip stored on my SD card Id like to try out.
current ROM uses bootanimation file that is located in [/system/media/bootanimation.zip]....
the [/system] folder did not have the permissions that would allow me to move the current bootanimation zip and insert my new bootanimation zip.
Looks like the /system folder permissions were set at 0755 showing via "terminal emulator"
looks like I was successfull at changing the folder permissions to 0777 via
su[ENTER]mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system[ENTER]
chmod 0777 /system[ENTER]
but in order to get my new bootanin.. zip to transfer over to new location from my sdcard, went to move it with the [-i] option and TE displays [failled -Cross -linked Device] error message....
I am at a loss at this point to get the project done...
YES I AM A NOOB... I HAVE LEARNED ALOT FROM YOU GUYS... THANKS IN ADVANCE for your answers...,
This is what i do when i want to change my boot animation.
First of all, go to the market and install "Root Explorer".
Now put the new bootanimation.zip on your SD card. (I personally use DropBox to download it and store it on my SD card).
Go into Root Explorer, and into the /system/media/ folder and click the little "Mount R/W" button at the top of the app (this changes the permissions, allowing you to copy/move and add files to the system partition), and change the current bootanimation.zip to bootanimationold.zip (simple way of backing it up, in case anything goes wrong, or you simply wanna switch back).
Now go to your SD card (still in root explorer) and copy the new bootanimation.zip, go back into the /system/media/ folder and simply paste it.
Click on the new bootanimation.zip and change the permissions to
User: X X -
Group: X - -
Others: X - -
(Where "X" is permission granted, and "-" is no permission)
Press Ok, and click the "Mount R/O" button in the top of the app, and exit Root Explorer. All done.
Now reboot your device and see the glorious new bootanimation
PS: If there is anything wrong with the bootanimation.zip, it will simply show a black screen after the initial splash screen. So simply wait, and let your device boot like normal.
did not work...
I managed to rename the old boot animation zip and I managed to place the new bootanimation.zip into the same folder.... /system/media/bootani.....
I rebooted the phone but still the OLD boot anima remains and active. the NEW bootanimation file is indeed there but the phone does not act like it.
I went to recovery and cleared cache and dalvik and reboot....nada still no new boot animation.
I took on this small project of changing my boot animation because it looked to be so simple. I got the new boot animation file from a thread of a collection of boot animations and the instructions said to just place on SDcard and install via CWM....needless to say that did not work, so the journey went to where I am now....

Make sure you are mounting /system as RW first. By default it is RO. If you have root explorer it's just easy as clicking the RW button but if not there is always terminal and a command you enter.

Terminal I mentioned to mount your system as RW. Why not edit your build.prop on computer and push it to your device in recovery mode.

Tried to do it with adb but it comes back to original one.
i was able to successfully change the build.prop file by using the file manager in twrp recovery.
i kept the modified file on my sd card, went into recovery, fired up the file manager, browsed to my sd card, selected the modded file, chose the copy option, then chose the /system folder as the destination. rebooted and the changed file stayed changed!
my device is rooted, bootloader unlocked, and s-on.
root explorer with r/w mounting didnt work for me...file would revert after reboot.
also tried "cp" command in terminal in recovery...didnt seem to copy successfully.
hope this helps!

Is there any way to mount /system as writable? I want to change the name of a file, but I cannot since the partition is set to read only. I am rooted and I have even tried adb shell commands via pc. Help :crying:
Download root explorer apk, make sure its a legit and then u can set system as rw and do anything u want.
FX explorer is a great root file explorer. Once installed,enable the root mode and when browsing the system folder, enable r/w access from the top right menu

I have Root Explorer but the problem is there are some .xml files that can't be edited through Root Explorer. I have to use solid Explorer to edit the xml file. Do u know what could be the problem?
If u long press the file options will come up (if enabled in settings) and then there will be option for editing file u need if it is editable.
