May want to add that it is not really a good idea to make anything WORLD writable. This could give a malicious application permissions to overwrite something without elevated privildges.

In general users should never use 777 or 776 on any file or directory without explicit need to.

Understand the guide- many thanks- however.

I am using ES explorer and all threads say to long hold the file and scroll to permissions

I do not have permissions and I have set the root options all on.

Ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] delaneybob:
I just bought Root explorer- it will not let me change permissions on a file now.

Any ideas- do I need a terminal session or something?

OK got the permissions changed- will close this thread - but the .apk is still not installing

very handy guide for newbies=) i could have used it a while back, i had to understand the permissions on my own :D

i would like to add that fx file explorer by nextapp is free from playstore and u can set permissions (and also use it as a rootbrowser) with the root addon=)

i guess 100 and 010 and etc numbers came from 1=true 0=false :) but im not sure im not a dev:P

[Galaxy S II General] JM4611:
I know how to change permissions, but I am wondering if there is an apk (I use Root Explorer) that can change the permissions on multiple files without having to change each one individually. For example, I am swapping all the files in the system\media\audio folder, and there are a lot of files, so I would rather do a batch job. :)
[Galaxy S II General] ssanjy:
Have you tried multiple selection of the file you intend to change permission of and try changing it.. I'm using root explorer and here're my screens

[HTC Sensation] O_mardini:
hello

i got HTC sensation i would like to install sensation xe rom on it

can i do this??

the processor will run on 1.2 or 1.5?

dose it have any problem?

can i install the ruu or i have to install custom rom??
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
if you are soff then you can do it

processor will be at 1.5Ghz i think ..you need to verify it yourself (ive seen sensation rom on xe and the processor speed was 1.2Ghz there)

no problem you will have

ruu will do ..and if you favor custom rom ..then thats also fine
[HTC Sensation] O_mardini:
how i can check the speed of processor??

and can i set it back to 1.2 if it's 1.5
[HTC Sensation] Zirias:
You can check it for example with the "System Tuner" App from the Market (Play Store). For setting it (among a lot of other things), I used this kernel that comes with an installer for generating an init-script. Probably it would be possible to set the parameters on a stock kernel, too.

In my ICS installation, I had to create the /system/etc/init.d directory myself and add a call to "/system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d" in /system/etc/init.post-boot.sh in order to make the additional init-script work (must have busybox installed for that).

[Galaxy S III General] victorator:
So is it a backup you have to restore, or did you create a CWM flashable .zip already?
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
from the title, it will be a nandroid you can restore.
[Galaxy S III General] ViRuS3k:
Full Backup. that you just restore via cwm.

You will loose root but you just need to reflash CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 via odin to get root access again.
[Galaxy S III General] bluerichy:
Will the system status be modified if I restore this?
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
depends on what it includes, if it includes a custom recovery then yes you will be modified (the modified check checks various things including custom kernels and recovery images, root related files and apps etc.)
[Galaxy S III General] ViRuS3k:
To get Status Normal : After first boot just do a factory reset, then it will be as though your gs3 will be running completely stock status normal and factory restore.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Manna420:
Hi

My cousine bought a new Samsung Galaxy s Anycall for 2 weeks ago. He is only 12 and obviously very keen on trying things, so he decided to upgrade his firmware. What i think he did wrong is to use the wrong firmware. If i understand the Sticky threads and Faqs on this forum correctly, then Anycall has a different firmware then the regular Samsung Galaxy S (correct me if i am wrong). Anyhow, the result is that the phone boots, loads the Samsung logo and then loads the Android Green logo, and just stays there. After attempting to flash the phone with Odin and a firmware suggested by one of the guides n this forum, it now boots into a window where it says something like UPGRADE and something else in chinese or korean. I would appritiate if someone could give me a link to a propar guide on how to get my cousines cell phone up and running again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evoer:
I'm running FreeSG3 and when looking through all the apps found "My files". I'm not really sure if its part of the ROM or not but I definitely did not down load it (if it is part of the ROM, thanks Clark44). Very useful and simple app. When opened it shows extSdCard and sdcard

With a few backups and lots of apps my internal storage was getting a little low. I used "My files" to move the backups to my extSdCard and have regained a good bit of internal storage back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpgorbosjr:
My files is just a simple file explorer.....you can also download more advanced ones off the market like Root Explorer or ES Explorer....and yes moving files like backups to the external SD card will give you more system space.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evoer:
Absolutely! Anyone with even a little Android experience is probably familiar with the more full featured file managers ie Astro, File Manager, ES File Explorer, Root Explorer and so one. I bring "My files" up for it's shear ease in doing a simple task, moving something from internal memory to your sd card. IMO it accomplishes this task a lot easier than those others, but I still use those others also for other things, just kind of throwing this one out there for those who have not used it before
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
My Files comes with the stock Samsung rom, btw.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BrandonEnr7:
Be careful about moving say nandroid backups to your extSdCard because some versions of CWM don't have access to the external storage only internal storage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
Version 6 is good
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evoer:
Thanks, yeah thats kind of why I started this thread because not all recoveries or file manager type apps have access or recognize extSd cards and My files makes it so easy to move things back and forth. Anyway I use TWRP for recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BrandonEnr7:
Didn't even notice the update was available, downloaded and installed it just now. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
We have cwm v6.x.x.x? link please
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BrandonEnr7:
Go to http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

Then look for "Samsung Galaxy S3 (Sprint)". Left one is Standard CWM and right one is Touch CWM. These are .img files that must be converted to .tar files to work in Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] montrealcityboy:
how do you convert to .tar files correctly?

i used powerarchiver,but when i try to do it with odin afterwards,it aborts..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JBakey:
Wrong. Just download mobile Odin, change the IMG name to recovery.img and flash with mobile Odin. Much easier and no computer needed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julioromano:
Is there a quick way to show all the apps installed on my Android device which have the "Automatically start at boot" permission?

I know there are a few "startup manager" apps that allow to modify startup behaviour, but most of them require root access and moreover they also require auto start at boot permission to work.

I'd just like a way to figure out which of my apps have that permission so I can decide which is worth keeping and which to uninstall.

Thanks,

Marco
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Use the app "Permission Explorer" to list all apps granted that permission.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] CrazyAirborne:
Found this on amazon and thought it looked good. Reviews were ok, but I hadnt seen anyone mention it on here for the SGS3.

Price Paid: $11.99 plus shipping. $17.09 Total

Purchased From: Amazon.com

Specs:

Clear Optic Polyester

Thickness 0.15mm

Oleophobic coating to reduce fingerprints

3H~4H Surface Solidity

Pros:

-Very nice packaging. Very clear and concise instructions.

-Came with screen cleaning cloth and plastic squeegee.

-Comes in a two pack, I installed both on 2 different phones.

-Hard to notice it when installed.

-Initially felt a little tacky, but after a day now, screen feels almost like glass.

-No issues so far

Cons:

-Doesnt come all the way to the edge of the screen, this can be considered good/bad. Due to phone design, these types of protectors have to be cut smaller to not lift off. But I notice the protector is the exact width of the display screen, almost barely "too skinny" (pics should show what I mean)

Overall, Im very happy with it. It fits PERFECTLY with a Casemate Tough. The protector comes right to the edge of the case. So my phone is almost completely covered. There should be no issues at all with the phone case lifting the protector, as they arent touching anywhere.

I did mess up a little on the application on one of the phones, so its not perfectly squared up on the phone, but Im worried I will wreck it if I try to remove it and re-position it.

www.rearthusa.com/galaxy_s3_i9300_ringbo_plus

The Rearth website is very nice and they have tons of info about their products, down to materials used and how they make their screen protectors. Pleasantly surprised by that.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ergibson83:
I used this on my S3 before I got my defender case and went back to Best Skin Ever. This is the best dry protector I've used thus far. I love the fact that it comes with 2 also. I have one more left, some day I may go back to it.

I agree though...this protector is awesome and very clear and I'm not even a fan of dry applications! :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] paul.p:
I have the same protector on my s3..fit and feel are great, but mine already has micro scratches in certain "high traffic" areas...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CrazyAirborne:
darn, i hope i dont see any micro scratches on it anytime soon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] paul.p:
At least theyre on the screen protector and not on the screen itself. Also it's only visible under direct sunlight and you have to be really looking for them.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1ck018:
how can i partition and wat is the safest way to transfet my file to the sd card. i got 2gb sd card.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patmast3r:
You can partition with pretty much every recovery software. I think rom-mangaer will even let you do it from a bootet OS.

How you transfer stuff depends on the version of Android you are running.

AFAIK (I'm really not so sure):

Starting with ICS all you need to do is select from the Settings what should be moved to sd.

Before ICS you need to move Apps manually.

Heyhey

I have been looking around for a couple of days and cannot find the answer.
