What is chmod 644?

What is chmod 644?

Its how you set permissions in Linux by command line. Its effectively-rw-r--r-

I have no clue how to do that.

Download terminal emulator. Then run the following commands to install the stock launcher.

su

mount -o remount rw /system

cp /directory with the launcher.apk/ launcher2.apk /system/app/

cd /system/app

chmod 644 launcher2.apk && reboot.

the phone will reboot and the launcher should be ready for use

You can use any root explorer and do it. Find the app, long press it, press properties, you should be able to change permissions right there.

This is what happened. The launcher was downloaded on to sdcard/download folder

red ive tried that. it says ""changing permissions was not successful. please note some file systems do not allow permission changes."

 

[jimsmith80]

the system is mounted as ro. You need to run the mount command first. You could also install the latest droidsmith update. In 0.3.10 the system partition is mounted rw

Explain more in more depth how to run the mount command and the whole ro system thing.

Did you give you file explorer root permissions??

 

[MidshipAc]

Yes I gave root permission to it
