file manager??? as in Root Explorer??? if your are using Root Explorer, Make sure you press/change a box in the link (below Root Explorer icon) that said Mount R/O to Mount R/W

Once I copy the vendor.prop out and change the incrementals I can put it back? aka wont copy paste says read only ive tried changing permissions but it just keeps saying read only any ideas?
you need a file explorer with root rights,eg root explorer
just open and edit it,copy out is not nessary

I recommend making a backup copy of the file before editing it.

I tryed file manager HD checked root and mount system files as writeable still read only permission denied?
When I try to install the premium version of Rom Manager i get "youre trying to replace a system app , do you want to continue ?" .
I click yes and then get "App not installed"
Any help or suggestions plz ?
Thanks
do you have root access? because that is necessary to change any system app in any case. Super User should pop up if you do have root. If it does not, maybe you accidentally denied it root privileges on first start.
Yes im sure its rooted and i checked Superuser logs on rom manager.
"created allowed allowed" and its in the allowed list.
Im guessing the installation is failing because its a system app thats in use or something ?
Since its a system app and installed via CM7 i cant even delete it.
It doesnt show in the installed apps list.
Any help is appreciated.
There is a directory under the /system folder I believe(bin?). Under that directory are a series of apk files and I bet there is still a file there for the rom manager. If you remove that with root explorer or something similar you should be good to go.

/system/app is the folder you're looking for.

To anyone having a similiar problem this is how I solved it.
-remount system/app dir to RW
-delete offending APK
-remount /data/data to RW
-delete offending dir (in rommanger's case it was com.koushikdutta.rommanger
-reboot
-reinstall.
Hey Guys,
I'm unable to delete obb files. It doesn't matter which method I use, the twrp file manager fails, adb fails, root explorers are failing. Any idea how to delete this? The unnecessary obb files are now almost 2GB big :/

Internal storage. But it's not only 1 file, there are 3 more files.

1. try deleting with solid file explorer. move the file somewhere else then delete. if the filename is too large, then rename it to anything small, then delete.
2. if no success, backup everything to pc, then wipe dalvik+cache+data+system+internal storage via twrp.
then "format data" in twrp.
copy rom and other stuffs to a usb otg drive or microsd and flash what you need.
hope this will help.
U must hava root for this and a root explorer. Go to the device/data/media/obb, here u will see a copy of obb data files exactly like your internal storage. Just delete it and you are good to go. Try it and thank me later if u want.

Unable to delete obb in internal storage
I too faced this problem for a day trying different methods and queries, they didn't help then I tried checking my developer options. I found that mock SD card is turned off so I turned it on and after rebooting my device. I was successfully able to delete the obb
Problem faced XIAOMI REDMI 4A
Just a bonus tip: if even root explorer fails, try total commander with root access. No guarantee that it will work, but I found that tc can do many things of those the others fail.

Thank you both. I combined these two processes, and I managed to remove my pubg obb file from my galaxy s5. My other root browsers werent working. Total commander did the trick.
Thank You so much!

You cannot do that without having your device rooted, as the file permissions won't allow you to list contents there.
