have not tried yet but..

I have a moto electrify mb853 with 2.3.5, i do not own anything that runs a new droid OS but i have used alot of apps, scripts, mods requiring root and had plenty of problems,and have fixed all my problems and have learned alot about using root and such so im going to say a few things in my experience that may help you fix or prevent problems in the future. Im not here for tech support, i just like to mod and test on alot of devices i have, not limited to android.

First off, if you root your phone, you might want to install/flash clockworkmod and create a nandroid backup (it backups the system partition of your phone so in the event you need to comeback from something that might seem to render your phone useless and works much like system restore points on windows) so that you can "revert" your phone back to the way it was when you made the backup, even if it requires re-flashing stock rom, re-rooting, and re-installing clockworkmod so that you can restore the nandroid. It also comes in 2 forms (that i know of): Replacing the charge only mode of your phone (the one that comes up when you plug your phone into a wall charger whiles its off) and a flashable version for hardcoding the recovery into the phone(phones with locked bootloaders cant use this option).

Your system partition is read only usually so you have to mount it as r/w to be able to write to it. The phone does not need to restart to do this, in fact if the phone restarts its reset to read only

Also keep in mind if you modify anything in the system partition YOU will always risk "crashing" your phone to the point you have to re-flash a stock rom. Re-flashing your phone does not necessarily mean photos and music or other items on the internal SD will be deleted but Backing up your music, photos, and important data separately wouldn't hurt either.

Titanium Backup is a backup app that is a must have for rooted phones. You can create a zip of any app which can be flashed through recovery among other backup options.

You can use ADB to push mostly any file to any place on the phone and can be used before the OS loads (ADB option just like you access any other recovery or debugging option.) or through usb debugging while the phone is on and OS is loaded. Devs use ADB to test apps and such, you think they don't fail and semi-brick their phones sometimes?

Do a little more reading on the support for your phone, of course things dont work with "every" phone but should work with most if stated.

Apps off the play store that require root can effect your phone in the same way in causing it to crash, boot-loop, etc.

Modding of system files is not recommended for newbies but as long as you retain that nandroid backup, you should be able to come back from almost anything and restore your phone to exactly how it was when you made the backup.

Please excuse lack of detail and sloppiness as i dont usually post on forums but these are very basic preventative measures you should take after you get root and which should definitely be done before you decide to play with your androids system partition. nothing system dependant is usually stored on partitions you have access too (eg internal and external sd cards). root gives you admin access to your device and the system partition is root access only to keep you from killing your OS.

Bottom line: If you have root and have the need to mod system files in any way, create a nandroid first. Or you could regret it when that script or app you just installed with root permissions make your phone un-bootable.

Also forgot to mention, 99.9% of the time a phone will never get bricked from anything you do to it even with root from the phones OS. it only fails to boot and could usually at the very least be re-flashed to stock so that you can re-root and restore backups or whatever you wish.

The mod OP should work in general but in the event it dont, have some sort of backup handy to replace the file you modded.

REMEMBER Google is your friend, if you dont know terms, google it and learn.:laugh:

Hope this helps
