I've installed CM11 and I'm having a problem replacing the hosts file. I can delete the file that's in there. But if I try to copy another version into the directory /system/etc it either fails outright or only copies the first 8.0KB of the file.
I get this problem using ES File Explorer and File Manager (the built in app with cm11). I haven't tried to push it using adb yet.
If I try to edit the file that's 8k long and I add just one character and try to save it, I get a message that there is "No enough space" (yes, it says that exactly).
settings tells me that there is 361MB free on internal storage.
Anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks
@electric bill
Have you mounted the system as rw 1st?

I did. I wouldn't be able to delete the file otherwise. Also of note, I edited the file mkshrc which is also in /system/etc. I added two characters to that file and it saved fine.

well now you're on to something! I moved /system/app/Magazines.apk to the sd card. that file (whatever it is) was 6.61MB. And guess what? when I tried to copy hosts into /system/etc it copied exactly 6.61MB of the file and then stopped.
Now why would /system be full?
why didn't you try AdAway to replace the hosts file?

It's part of the Google gapps bloat...
I know some of those full gapps packages have some enough to fill up system,,, and the pa_gapps runs scripts to determine if certain packages offer enough space to install,,,
Now as to the why it's not reporting properly is beyond me...

In an odd and probably unrelated post about issues with adaway,,, i found out it has issues with 4.4 kitkat ROMs,,,
I found that when searching for a specific process and uid # causing full cpu usage and system hang in a ROM i was testing,,,
d4rken in the github adaway thread built a version that fixes the issue
Which can be read about and downloaded here::

I'm guessing it would have had the same problem.
I think I did install the full version of gapps. I wonder if there's a list of the packages with a description so I could go through and axe the ones I don't need?

Yep, as it turns out, you don't even have to bother resizing some images... as it is with battery, navbar, lockscreen...system just resizes them automatically...
of course it's a good Idea to conserve space...

Just tried to replace the files in the original .apk - putting it all in a zip-file (not signed since I'm on S-OFF) but it just brings me to bootloop
I'm not entirely sure, but I think running apk's still have to be signed...correct me If I'm wrong...

I've never signed framework apk files. What I did is :
1. Open apk file with winrar, leave it.
2. Open folder window that includes necessary files.
3. Drag and drop file from (2) to (1) for replacing or something else.
4. Push apk files back to /system/framework/
Benefits:
- No need to extract apk files.
- No need to re-zip.
- No need to sign.

This is just a stock sense battery w/o the percentage. I only made this cause I worry about my phone battery A LOT and battery percentage makes it worse for me and I wondered if other people felt the same, so I'm sharing it here. It's really not much so don't criticize or talk crap about it. Just for those iffy people who HATE battery percentages. Enjoy!
Installation Process
- Unzip files into a folder called battery.
- Go into cmd enter " cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools "
- Then enter " adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk "
- Open the .apk file w/winRAR
- Go to res>drawable-hdpi
- Drag contents from the "Battery Folder" into drawable-hdpi
- Now, put framework-res.apk into SDK tools folder and " adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework "
- Enjoy

You may need to make sure that the permissions are set right. ES will change them. Just long press the files, go to properties, then change the permissions.
So we copy each of the files in the /system directory of the smartactions folders into their respective folders in the phones /system?
for instance there is a folder for the app, all of those files go into the /system/app folder of our phones?? etc...

Hi everyone
I managed to root my android phone yesterday (I checked with 2 root-checker apps). Now I'm having trouble removing pre-installed apps like Twitter and Yellow Pages which I never use. I tried few uninstall apps, and after granting them permission from SuperUS, they perform an uninstall (some apps do it forcefully) and give a message that the apps were deleted. The apps are not removed from my application list but when I click on it to run, they give an error message. But when I restart my phone, those apps I deleted start working again as if nothing happened.
What I'm I doing wrong? My phone is HTC One M8, android.
Thank you for any help

Yes, I did that before I rooted it.
I also tried using a File Explorer (rooted version) to uninstall those system app but couldn't find System files. I found a file called Root, but nothing is in the file.

I just tried it now but same problem. I select twitter to delete. It gives me a message that uninstall was successful. I check to see if it's listed on my home page, and it is although when I click on it, it gives an error message. However after restarting the phone, twitter somehow recovers and works again!!! Really strange. It's as if it wasn't uninstalled to begin with.

You need to remove read / write protection. You can do this most easily by flashing a modded kernel (boot.img) through fastboot. Alternatively, there's custom roms that have this already or you can mod a kernel module. There's a guide in the General section of your phone's forum. If you go that route, make sure that the module is compatible with the update you're on as the guide might be outdated.

This module removes the restriction when selecting folders (Downloads/Android) through the file manager on Android 11 and higher (also available as a Magisk module through Fox Module Manager)
2.0 Update
* Enabled Managed Mode on the DocumentsUI (make sure to apply the module to the Files/Documents app)
* This change allows selecting /data and /obb folders on the Android folder (where as before they were hidden)
### Note
The signature has changed on this version so you'll have to uninstall the previous version before updating
- [GitHub](https://github.com/Xposed-Modules-Repo/com.github.dan.nostoragerestrict)
- [Telegram](https://t.me/dnmgsk)
This works brilliantly - better than the Magisk module! Thank you!

Thanks for getting back to me. Sure thing, here goes:
As you can see, the "data" folder and the "obb" folder are missing. By the way, the first time I tried to move stuff, immediately after installing the app, those folders were actually visible as intended, but once I quit the moving process and tried a second time (and from that moment on) this is what I get

Oh, that's a different restriction (imposed by a different app)
My module is mainly to allow granting access to folders (downloads/Android) where it would normally tell you to create a new folder and not allow you to select that folder
The data/obb folders being hidden is a different thing
You could try this zip, tho it's a bit sloppily made, so i can't guarantee it'll work
