I use file explorer and I have tried to move an apk. File to my system and it gets denied. I'm able to uninstall apps from my system but unable to move a file to my system.
Yes, I am rooted.
Thanks for the help!

Google is your friend. Grant whatever file explorer you're working with super user permissions.
root explorer maybe. use "MOUNT R/W" and u be able to move apps.

Do you have root? Superuser installed? Did you not allow root explorer in superuser? If you do an adb shell do you get a # or $

I know for sure i am rooted, i grant superuser permissions but when I hit r/w it doesn't change anything
EDIT reinstall of root explorer fixed it, im dumb haha

I rooted my s2 and installed resurrection remix 1.8. I can run apps that request root but when I try to copy a file to the root of the phone I get this message
Copy error
lib core.io.errnoexception
Open failed:EROFS (read only file system)
Does anyone know how I can gain full root?
You need to mount the filesystem r/w with whatever file manager app (Root Explorer, etc, or an app like Remount).
What are you using to copy the app over?
Are you using root explorer?

Can you explain the while process of moving an app to system, how do I mount it as r/w etc pls?

Depends on what file manager you're using. As an example tho, in Root Explorer, if I say wanted to copy the Polaris Office lib files over to system/lib in order for it to work properly I'd do the following:-
*Fire up Root Explorer & click the little R/W-R/O toggle at the top to mount R/W.
*Navigate to where I have a copy of the Polaris lib files (in my case I have a Roms Modems Etc folder on my external SD card).
*Go into Root Explorer menu & tap 'multi select' because there's two files to copy, then click each file so there's a tick beside each indicating they're the files that are to be copied.
*Then click 'copy'.
*Then navigate to system/lib where I want to paste the files. And click the R/W-R/O toggle again to mount R/W.
*Click paste & the files are copied over. Click R/W-R/O toggle again to mount filesystem back to R/O.
*Navigate back to root folder & click R/W-R/O toggle to mount root back to R/O.
Done.
Is this what you were after ?
Edit to add - You can also get Remount from Google Play which enables you to mount different parts of the filesystem R/W or R/O.
Yeah that's great, many thanks. Just tried it & it works perfectly using root exp pro

Hello, I am trying to install viper4android and I cannot place the APK into the system apps folder, I just get operation failed. I have tried ES and Solid explorer. Only other way I can think of is a zip install from recovery, how would I make that?

I read that I had to do that, but cant find it anywhere. Where would that be? Will I use Terminal Emulator?

Using es file explorer hit the menu button, root explorer, then mount as r/w.

There are 2 ways that i know
1) root your phone and using a root explorer to delete the file
2)Dowload from google play Clean Master ( made from ks mobile) and see if that cleans your phone

I used towelroot to root my newly purchased EE Lestrel (build B114) and it went perfectly. Then I used Root Verifier and it said that my phone is rooted.
I installed Root Uninstaller, to remove some bloatware (twitter, deezer), but it says that the app can not be uninstalled because an unknown error occured. Also, I cannot convert them to User Apps, but I can freeze them.
I need them uninstalled. Any suggestion?
Please help me with this.
Thank you
UPDATE
"Normal" system apps can be uninstalled, but the problem is with the apps placed there by EE provider. They seem to be in a different place and cannot be removed.
Using Anttek I found them in /cust/orange/ee , but I have no idea how to get rid of this ones.

Install busybox and super su then from root file manager like root explorer you can remove any of system applications from system/app and system/priv-app folder
Remember to take backup of deleted applications in your SD card in case if you need it

Thanks. Indeed, using a different file manager did the job. I could not do it with Root Explorer (fake successful message), but I did it with ES File Explorer.
