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.

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

wifi problem in mesa 1.6 will solved after reboot.
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.

How can I mount my system to be R/W so that I can modify the files inside? I am trying to apply the hotspot mod so that I can use hotspot freely (I am still on the unlimited plan). Also looking to apply adaway, which I cannot without system R/W
I have tried apps in the play store and unlocking it through adb shell, maybe I'm just not trying the right options?

Strange, I thought root mode in ES was removed. Found it again though, thanks.

After you enable it in ES you have to click on the Root Explorer words then your option to mount R/W will pop up...

Does anyone can help me out? After rooting (magisk patched boot img), I wanna change the system fonts by modifying the /etc/fonts.xml, I got "permission denied" error when copying files to /etc or /system/fonts folders via ES File Explorer (already opened Root Explorer option) or Terminal commands. I checked the property of /system folder using ES File Explorer, it shows that root user should have write access to the /system folder. Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance.

With system as root and Magisk I don't think /system is no longer a valid mounting point, which means you can't modify it in any way.
A module would be the only option in your case.

Unfortunately I have no idea. I have never used a module for font changing.

Check in magisk manager. You will find a lot of modules for fonts
