Which file explorer are you using? I am pretty sure you must be rooted, are you?

I used this file explorer:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree&hl=en
and then this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.explorer&hl=en
Of course mounted system as Read/Write.

Try ES File Explorer, and enable the "root explorer" option as you see in the print screen.
Nothing works. Even via recovery I can't touch the files.

This requires root!
The sounds (by default) are stored in /system/media/audio/ui/
!NOTE: This is for system/OS sounds. Notifications etc are not stored here!
Screen touch sound is "TW_Touch.ogg" and back and menu button sounds are "S_HW_Touch.ogg"
If you would like to change the sound to something else, find a mp3 or something that you would like to use then convert it to a .ogg format.
Can be done on this website: htt$p://audio.on$line-convert.$com/convert-to-ogg *Remove $ symbols from URL
Then rename your new .ogg to either "TW_Touch.ogg" or "S_HW_Touch.ogg" dependent on what sound you would like to change.
Place the .ogg file on your sd card and move it the mentioned directory and overwrite (delete) the original .ogg file (backup first).
Then remember to set the permissions of the .ogg file to "rw-r--r--" and make sure it is named correctly, it is case sensitive.
Reboot system and enjoy your new sounds :good:
I tried everything that you said and it doesn't work for me. When i try to move/overwrite the file it tells me "Cannot copy or move file". When i try to delete the orginal file first it tells me "Warning - Could not delete". I am on stock rom and rooted. When i try to change permissions to the original files it gives me error "unable to chmod /system/media/...bla bla". What to do?
Ok. I got it. Thanks for everything!! Thumbs up!

Your root has failed, download root checker to see.
If it fails you will need to re-root with CF-Root.
Very Awesome. Thanks for the help.
I am running into an issue. My phone has been verified as rooted by rootchecker. The only way I can see the root directory on the phone is with Astro File Manager. Once in the correct folder, I can see the TW_TOUCH.OGG file and have a replacement. However I can't write to the folder. I can't even rename the original. Checking the properties of the file I don't see any notations that the file or folder are write protected. I assume the entire drive is per se with the exception of the \SDCARD directory.
Is there a better tool for doing all this? I'd like to have something I can use from a PC as well.
Thanks,
Karl
Use Super Manager or Android Commander .

First you need to Root.
There are good guides around here.
I'd recommend ES File Explorer
Download it then
Open ES File Explorer
Menu > Settings > Root settings.
Check Root Explorer
Click Grant when SU popup appears.
Check Up to Root
and Check Mount File System.
Now it will copy succesfully to the system folder.
Slightly easier
No need to do renaming. Save desired oggs to your ext sd card.
Use Root Browser (ES doesnt seem to go to system no matter)
Use Root Browser. Go to your ext sd card. Long press on the desired .ogg. Copy it.
navigate to the folder l /system/media/audio/ui/ as instructed above.
Click paste. If your file is named correctly it will ask 'replace?' click yes. Do the same for the other file.
Reboot. You have to reboot. How it still plays water droplets before rebooting Idk. But reboot and you back to clicky goodness. (who thought of that water droplet. Chinese water torture.)
Edit: I attached the two files. Change from .txt to .ogg.
operation failed?

Rw-r-r. In a grid of 1 to 9, top left to bottom right, 1,2,3,4 ticked. 5,6,7,8,9 unticked. Should be immediate but if not, just reboot.
Beamed in by telepathy.
Ok thanks. One more thing is it possible to add system sounds to it? Like a sound when i press the home button?

Sorry about the language, I'm very VERY annoyed

did you enable read hidden folder option in es file explorer.
You created a hidden file. then it should then be listed in the root menu.

I have a rooted Verizon GS4 and am trying to install an apk as a system app using ES File Explorer. I have root enabled in ES but when I copy the apk from my sd card so system/app I get "permission denied". What am I missing?

Did you grant read write privileges?
Edit:
Nevermind they changed up the layout and settings I do see what youre talking about tho. Its gotta be something witb ESFM because I can paste something to system with root explorer no problem..

I believe so. Root Explorer is "on" and Mount R/W permission is set as Path/ =RO, /persdata/absolute=RW, /system=RW, /firmware-mdm=RO.
Does that sound right?
OK, I went ahead and bought "Root Explorer" and was able to copy the Calendar apk into the system/app folder. But I still can't get it to install. system/app is mounted as R/W but when I tap on the apk and run "install" it says "application not installed" every time. Any ideas why? FWIW, the apk is "SecCalendar_NAmerica_SPen.apk" and should be the apk for the stock Calendar app.

The not installing is normal, see what permissions another system app has, apply the same.to the one youre copying. Reboot and it should work.

OK, I'm now stumped. I've changed permissions and "owner" so it's identical to all other .apk's in the system/app folder. But after rebooting it still isn't installed. It looks right in the system/app folder, but the application is not in my app drawer. (No icon, widget, etc.) Any other ideas?
I know this is old but I'm having the same problem. The file is Read Only and I can't figure out how to change the path so that I can copy it to system/app.
Thank you

Root Explorer & ES File Explorer File Manager
On ES File Explorer File Manager, on the Left Pane (If you swipe from the very left of the screen towards the center), scroll down to the Tools, click on that and down it should be an option : "Root Explorer", make sure it's ON! After that force close the File manager and try to open this time. Let me know how it goes.
Based on a suggestion, I just purchased, downloaded, and installed Root Explorer by Speed Software. I want to use this to rename a root file, and yes, my phone is rooted. With Root Explorer, I quickly found the file, highlighted it, then tapped the three dot and Rename. However, once I told it to rename, I was presented with a message that says: Rename Failed.
What must I do to allow renaming?
is your system R/W

Thanks for the reply, but dumb question: How to I check, and set if necessary, my system to be R/W?
If you do not know, it means it is not. Do you have TWRP?

Test this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...released-fully-featured-file-manager.1523691/
joke 19: I tried MiXplorer. Found the file, highlighted it, clicked the name button, but was told 'file not renamed'.
I suspect that the problem is due to file permissions. The file in question only has Read permission for the Group and Others, and the normal account is not Owner. I tried changing the permissions, but that obviously failed.
