This is why I mentioned Playon. It's your computer that is actually downloading videos from Hulu, so Hulu does not complain.

then, Playon re-streams it to any device on your home network. Nothing Hulu can do about that.

another advantage I forgot to mention is, Playon can stream Hulu (or any of the other channels) to your device WHEREVER it is. You can be at work, on the bus, etc. As long as your device is connected to the Internet, Playon can stream to it.

But yeah, your computer must be running while you are using Playon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cardcrash:
After registering and watching the "newb" vide, I understand many of you are somewhat impatient with nubs like me -- which is why I will try to be as terse as possible.

I have a mac. I understand macs are frowned upon in the developer community but I didn't have a choice when it came to computers, and I can't get windows os at the moment.

Yes, yes, you've all guessed it by now, I need help trying to root my device. I have tried all of the methods on this forum, and also some over on galaxys2root.com and various other websites. The closest I have come to actually rooting my device was through the heimdall Zedomax method, where I ended up getting the error "Claiming interface failed"

The other semi-close attempt I had was through the Skyrocket Easy Root. I cded to the right directory, enabled USB debugging, put my phone in download mode, but ended up getting the error "device not found".

I'm adamant that I have been doing these methods correctly, and I really would appreciate some help.

ICS FOR SGS4G! HELP

OK there are no AOSP ICS ROMS for the sgs4g!?

I can't find a full blast ICS rom for my phone anywhere!

Can anyone help me?

I like the ones they have for the i9000! But they don't have any for mine! Grrr! If anyone knows how to get these to work for my. Phone pm me!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sean is here.:
Dude!! Mellow out!

OMGWTFBBQ!

If there aren't any ICS ROMs for your phone, you've got 3 choices!

Learn to code!

Wait longer!

Or buy a new phone!

It could be that ICS isn't going to be compatible with the hardware.

Check out sammobile.com for available firmwares. If Samsung hasn't dev'd a firmware on an ICS base, chances are dev's aren't going to do it. Coding is hard work.

If you're going to make demands of people that are providing a service, it might be better accepted if you offered a bounty (that's $$).

RE: Amazon APKs

When you say Amazon APK, are you referring to the Amazon Appstore?

If so, log in to your amazon account...

From the Amazon Homepage, Highlight the link "Appstore for Android" then click "Amazon Apps" Shows all of the Amazon Brand Apps. (Amazon MOBILE is listed.)

Greetings...I decided to create this thread to ask this question since the original thread was related to a different question...

A previous thread suggested to select mount r/w to enable read/write using Root Explorer...

I have ES File Explorer installed...Is that the same as Root Explorer?...

I select ES File Explorer and I can position myself on either /, /root, /system

directories but I don't see where I can select mount r/w to enable read write....

Sorry for the confusion, but I'd really like to get this resolved...

Thank you...:confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
In ES file explorer go to settings scroll down, at the end you will see Root Settings with 2 options Root explorer and Mount File System check both.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thesal523:
Veronica(lavero.burgos) thank you very, very much!...Much appreciated...:):)

I'm almost done...I've completed steps 1 - 3 below and saved it...

How do I complete step #4?...

(Again, THANK YOU very much!)...

___________________________________________________________

Method 1: Using Root Explorer

1. Set /system to read-write

2. open the file /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh in text editor

3. Add the following line at the bottom:

Code:

setprop persist.service.mount.umsauto 0

4. Save and set permissions to 755 (All Read, Top Write, All Execute)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
In ES file explorer long press the file you want to change permissions, scroll down and select properties from the list. A window will pop up then change it like this:

User: check read, write and execute

Group: check read and execute

Other: check read and execute

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thesal523:
That did it!...Many thanks again lavero.burgos...

Just one thing I want to point out - I did not see "OWNER" in the list, but "Other" instead...Does that sound right?...

So, this is how I updated the file:

User: Read, Execute

Group: Read, Execute

Other: Read, Write, Execute

Thank you...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Yeah that's fine sorry got confused with RT lol, just one thing User should be write permission and not "Other"

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Did you set ES FileManager's "Settings->Root Explorer->Mount R/W"?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GalaxySIIII:
There isnt that option in settings
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
My omission: it's "Settings->

Tools

->Root Explorer->Mount R/W"

Depending on your ROM build version, if you don't see "Settings" menu button for ES File Manager, you'd need to add it (the "three vertical dots" button) to the homescreen navigation bar via the tablet's main "Settings->System->Buttons and Layout".
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GalaxySIIII:

Right now I'm running sense 5 android 4.3 and i was having the same binary problems. I installed cwm superuser which has been working for me. however when i try to set root permissions in es file explorer superuser pops up, i allow access then es explorer says operation failed, can not work on your phone????? which boggles my mind since i just allowed access.. i want to be able to rewrite so i can change the font. i did change the font, and when i hot reboot the phone, i see the font i want, but when i reboot the phone fully, it doesn't remember it and goes back to stock font... i don't know what to do... besides never let my phone die or shut off, ha:confused:

I am rooted, and yet my phone won't allow me to rewrite in es file explorer, i'm trying to change the font and every time the phone reboots, it forgets what the font was and goes back to stock, when i choose the root option in file explorer, i grand superuser permissions, then es file explorer says cannot run on your phone????

not working :/

Hello everyone, I apologize now for my English but I use google translator. I have a galaxplus rooted with CyanogenMod 10.1 with es file manager. sometimes it happens that you uninstall the app me and that if I try to reinstall tells me not enough space ... this is because in / mnt / asec / folder was not deleted the app. but also putting all of rw as explained before (and I'm also appears that the superuser popup tells me that you have accessed eg root permissions), es keeps telling me that the memory is read only without being able to delete the folder :/
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SayWhat10:
there are good instrutions in this post

but for the life of me it still wont give me write permissions

trying to paste a file in,and then rename a file on system level

in es file explorer it shows that system should have rw ,but simply doesnt let me do it

blower
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] whitey.germany:
I have the same problem with version 3.1.3.

My device is rooted, RootChecker performs positive, ES File Explorer has all permissions in SuperSU.

Mounting as Root/RW in ES File Explorer seems to fail. I cannot rename nor paste something in the system partition. I did use this function in the old ES File Explorer already, so i know how to do it. But it simply cannot be done anymore.

In the meantime i downloaded another File Manager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm&hl=de), which can perform the operations i want just fine. So i think it really is a bug in ES File Explorer or an incompatibility with SuperSU or something like that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] whitey.germany:
Update to my above post:

I did a reboot and ES File Explorer seems to work normal again. I will keep an eye on it, but i think that was just some weird asynconity between some updates or something similar.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Vicxx:
I've tried everything mentioned here but I simply cannot mount R/W on system using ES Explorer. I hold onto Root Explorer to open the mount R/W but after ticking the box it goes back to R/O. I just want to change the bootanimation.zip in system/media but I can't move the file, even after ticking the R/W boxes, nothing will change.

I've even tried in File Manager and mounted R/W on system etc. but it still doesn't let me edit files in system.

Is there something else I'm missing?

I should also mention I'm using a Galaxy S4 i9505 on Danvdh's CM, ES explorer.

Help

So I tried everything already stated but it's not just a problem with the manager. I've tried to other root browsers and ROM Toolbox. It still won't let me change the r/w file permissions. It gives me an error box saying "Not successful. Some file systems do not allow permission changes." I'm using a galaxy s4 from sprint. It used to work before and everything's rooted so I really don't know what the problem is.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Enzeeee:
Please reply

Hello, your instructions are quite clear but i have a problem.

My phone is root with KingoRoot and i check it with root checker and it was successful.

But i am not able to change the R/O in es explorer or file manager to R/W.

I even tried using the app made to mount the system to R/W but it fail. I also tried to use the emulator to mount the system but it says

permission denied =(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GrimEire:
what are you using to change the permissions i download file explorer but cant find the option. i also tired es file explorer but couldn't find the option in that either.

this is what i get in es explorer
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
You have to enable root extension in ES settings and you need SuperUser installed.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GrimEire:
I have my phone rooted and super su is installed. I have also enabled root explorer in es explorer.

Any other ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
So, when you press-hold on file and select "Properties", you should see towards the bottom of the information window a section for permissions. Based on my experience with Root Explorer, there seem to be some files for which permissions cannot be changed. If you're not seeing the option with a particular file, this might be the reason. Try a few to be sure it's a global issue.

I use ES File Manager on both a Nook ST and an LG Optimus Zone 2 and have no problem with the permissions options.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GrimEire:
No I can see the permissions of the file but I can't change it.

Please see the thumbnail in my previous post to see what I get.

I have check a few files and I get the same with all of them. I just got this phone and installed es explorer yesterday. Could the problem be that es explorer removed the option to Change permission in the newest version??
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
I'm using the current Market version of ES on my LG Optimus Zone 2 and have no problem with seeing the permissions and the "change" button. I don't see permissions listed anywhere in the screen caps you've posted (unless I have missed them somehow). Maybe you should check your SU app and be sure it has recognized ES File Explorer. Other than that, the obvious thing is to uninstall, reboot, and reinstall. No other ideas.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GrimEire:
I don't see it either on any of my 3 devices all of which are rooted..

I must be doing something wrong. Enable root explorer and long press the file then on the menu there should be a permissions option that right??

I have added pics of es explorer and su but both seem correct.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
No, on the menu there should be a "Properties" option. Choose that and lower down on the window that opens you should see the permissions.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jephindavis:
For people having issue, try this:

1. Open your native File Manager app -> Settings ->General Settings->Access mode(under Advanced section)-> select this as "Root Access Mode".

2. You might get a popup asking whether to give superuser permission. Click "grant" or "ok" or whatever applicable.

3. Now open ES File Explorer and set all the root mode settings as per above posts.. and it should work perfectly..

Im using sony z1 ,

rooted using kingroot

I have followed your instructions, but when i want to check the list of RW (read/write) and then i pushed ok button, there is nothing happened..

When i rechecked it, the option came back into RO (read-only)

How is this possible ? is it auto-default or something ?

Sorry if my grammar was a mess :3

thx b4
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
I use es file explorer 3.2.5.5 and when I select RW for system it remains checked. After I select RW and OK button I get a SuperSU notification that I've been granted with superuser permissions when done for the first time. You may want to check your root.

Do you use SuperSU app? Is your root systemless?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
I don't know about you guys, but I'm still forced to use good old Launcher Pro on my SGS II. Reason being that it's the smoothest launcher I've tried - in a sense that it's the most responsive to swiping screens. Also, its calendar widget is very nice, same as in Go Launcher.

I admit I'm a bit over-sensitive to even slightest lag. Even a several millisecond delay when swiping screens or opening the app drawer pisses me off.

My personal experience:

Go Launcher Pro - best customization, worst response. Heavy and sluggish. After deep sleep, there's a huge delay when swiping screens, until screens are cached. Until they are, it feels slllllloooowwww. Same on my Nook Tablet - horrific delays after deep sleep.

TouchWiz launcher - pretty damn fast and responsive, but even TW 4.5 has very limited customization. Also, when using multiple widgets, I start noticing an FPS drop in swiping from widget-heavy screens. For example MIUI Clock (from market) - swiping to and from the screen with it will always have noticable frame-skip.

Zeam Launcher - very smooth, but same frame skip problem as TW launcher. Unfortunatelly, very little customization.

Launcher Pro - fastest, lag-free swiping. Sadly, an abandoned project and missing lots of customization that'd be nice for modern ROMs.

Nova Launcher for ICS - fast and smooth, but still FCs every once in a while, lack customization. It's in beta, obviously.

ADW Launcher - haven't tested it for a while, but I remember not-so-great swiping response and lacking customization that I wanted.

What's your experience like? What do you recommend?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Where do you get that LauncherPro is an abandoned project? Yeah, it hasn't been updated in quite some time (May 2011, I think), but the forums on their website looks active, and it's still available in the market? I'm just curious, as I use LP, and I'd hate to see development on it stop.
