solution is using root explorer (phone needs to be rooted)
just long tap the file that you want to set the permission

Hey bro,
Just first and foremost solution to your query is only an only ROOT EXPLORER (Requires rooted device).....
using root explore to set permission on a file, long press on the file and choose permission. then on the popup menu put a check on the two boxes next to "owner", which is labeled "read" and "write". then on "group" check the first box only and also on the "others". and make sure to mount the system in r/w by pressing the "Mount R/W" at the upper right corner.

Greetings...I decided to create this thread to ask this question since the original thread was related to a different question...
A previous thread suggested to select mount r/w to enable read/write using Root Explorer...
I have ES File Explorer installed...Is that the same as Root Explorer?...
I select ES File Explorer and I can position myself on either /, /root, /system
directories but I don't see where I can select mount r/w to enable read write....
Sorry for the confusion, but I'd really like to get this resolved...
Thank you...
In ES file explorer go to settings scroll down, at the end you will see Root Settings with 2 options Root explorer and Mount File System check both.

Veronica(lavero.burgos) thank you very, very much!...Much appreciated...
I'm almost done...I've completed steps 1 - 3 below and saved it...
How do I complete step #4?...
(Again, THANK YOU very much!)...
___________________________________________________________
Method 1: Using Root Explorer
1. Set /system to read-write
2. open the file /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh in text editor
3. Add the following line at the bottom:
Code:
setprop persist.service.mount.umsauto 0
4. Save and set permissions to 755 (All Read, Top Write, All Execute)
In ES file explorer long press the file you want to change permissions, scroll down and select properties from the list. A window will pop up then change it like this:
User: check read, write and execute
Group: check read and execute
Other: check read and execute

That did it!...Many thanks again lavero.burgos...
Just one thing I want to point out - I did not see "OWNER" in the list, but "Other" instead...Does that sound right?...
So, this is how I updated the file:
User: Read, Execute
Group: Read, Execute
Other: Read, Write, Execute
Thank you...
Yeah that's fine sorry got confused with RT lol, just one thing User should be write permission and not "Other"

My omission: it's "Settings->Tools->Root Explorer->Mount R/W"
Depending on your ROM build version, if you don't see "Settings" menu button for ES File Manager, you'd need to add it (the "three vertical dots" button) to the homescreen navigation bar via the tablet's main "Settings->System->Buttons and Layout".
I managed to delete it..
I had to install es f explorer 1.5 Cupcake.. that other es f expl. Probably doesnt support that..

Assuming your NT is rooted or running CM, the "Mount R/W" option is on the "Root Explorer" menu.

Right now I'm running sense 5 android 4.3 and i was having the same binary problems. I installed cwm superuser which has been working for me. however when i try to set root permissions in es file explorer superuser pops up, i allow access then es explorer says operation failed, can not work on your phone????? which boggles my mind since i just allowed access.. i want to be able to rewrite so i can change the font. i did change the font, and when i hot reboot the phone, i see the font i want, but when i reboot the phone fully, it doesn't remember it and goes back to stock font... i don't know what to do... besides never let my phone die or shut off, ha

You need to set system to r/w not r/o use root explorer, or in titanium long press the app and tap convert to system app

Can you explain that? I attached the Permissions and Owner, but doesn't appear.
In root explorer find apk you want to move and long press then copy.
Navigate to system>apps and mount as r/w
Then if replacing existing application rename this to app.bak otherwise just paste the app
Change apps permissions to read:everyone write:user only execute no one then tap save. Then reboot your phone and everything should be good
Otherwise in titanium backup (a must have for custom rom users) long press on the app and tap convert to system app

Well I'm quiet late but I was having this problem to and I figured it out.
>> Change the permissions of "/System/app" folder. When you can't change the permission of a file you might have to change the parent folder's permissions.
This worked for me...
Hope it helped
i have the same problem. . i will try your solution. . tnx

I also has this problem. Some application won't work propertly. I was looking for a solution and found the reason - wrong permissions on files and folders in Android\data\com.XXXX. Changing permission on the parent folder gave me a topic message. After i found a solution that work for me:
- stop your app
- move your app to the extSdCard.
Take it!

Hi,
A friend of mine recently returned from China with a Coolpad 8675, which he gave to me. I tried to install various apps such as Google Search and the Play Store, to no avail. This makes it impossible to use apps like Google+ and Ingress. This is quite annoying, and i was wondering if there was a solution to this problem. I really have no idea how android phones work or how to do stuff like rooting, so basic solutions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
LeCrazyPanda
same here
I am having the same issue.
I installed Google account log in service, and Google play store with successfully I even found those on the Chinese coolpad app store.
My trouble comes with trying to install Google play services, as even when I download it from the coolpad store, the install always fails.
SOLVED
Hi I have one and i had same problem.
First you must root phone, that is simple and here is instructions:
https://translate.google.cz/translate?hl=cs&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsjbbs.zol.com.cn%2F166%2F1606_1657041.html
after that you can manualy install GAPPS.
I get Universal Pico from Paranoid then unzip it on pc and create this pack https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzMLUR1MF4g3RHBqQjBsTGlyVm8/view?usp=sharing
You must copy to Phone disk and manualy copy to system folder directories.
EACH FILE YOU MUST MANUALY SET PERMISSION 644
AND DIRECTORY \etc\preferred-apps\ THAT YOU CREATE MUST SET PERMISSION 755
After that you must restart phone and enjoy
For Copy and set permissions i use Root Explorer that you must manualy install from disk
Sorry for my bad English

I see all these files are APK's. Do I install them like regular APKs? Then how do I grant permissions? I have two left thumbs as far as technology is concerned, so I would sincerely appreciate someone guiding me, step by painful step. Thanks.

Do exactly as @Hagen656 says: copy ALL files from GAPPS, *.apk *.jar *.xml *.so into the corresponding folders from the /system/ folder on your phone. If the folder is not present in /system/ on your phone, copy the entire folder from GAPSPS. You don't have to install anything, just to change permissions to 755 for /system/etc/preferred-apps/ folder and to 644 for ALL files (including the ones from /system/etc/preferred-apps/).
To understand file permissions in Android, read this:
http://androidforums.com/threads/understanding-android-file-permissions.73177/
For changing file permissions, I used ES File Explorer, you can directly download the .apk from here http://www.estrongs.com/?lang=en
After installing ES File Explorer, you need to install ES Permission Manager plugin, which can be found here http://getandroidapp.org/applications/libraries-demo/93311-es-permission-manager-plugin-1-0.html
Pls how did you change d language of d coolmanager app
