/system writable mod is included in many custom kernels and also in some custom roms like ARHD. What are you trying to accomplish? Why do you need /system writable?
Also advised in the thread you linked:
This is mainly for devs, who are free to incorporate it into their ROMs.
Unless you are an advanced user, I would wait for it to be included in your favourite ROM.

I guess if you are asking how to do this, you are not a dev nor an advanced user...

I can follow instructions and have never bricked or messed up a device, I'm not an idiot.
I want system write-able so I can remove stock apps and boot up/down animation, I don't want a custom ROM.

And I fully agree with this and that's probably why you didn't received any answer yet.
You don't need a custom rom if you don't want one. A custom kernel like elementalx or bulletproof will do the job fine with your stock rom.
Is your device unlocked? rooted?
Also note that modifying or deleting /system files will prevent you to flash future ota updates
EDIT: btw these 2 kernels I suggested you were created by the same dev who posted that mod you are referring to.

If you already have a rom, it's probably deodexed...it enables themes to be used on the phone.

You can not uninstall system apps. First: it make no sense, because after the next update they come back, second: your system partition is read only. Deactivate it and ready!

[Q] overclocking and interface editing exhibit T599n?[supernoob]

Hello, I am brand new to rooting. This is the first phone I have rooted. I am trying to improve its performance and and possibly change the boot animation and stuff. I used rom toolbox but it wouldn't change my boot. And all overclocking apps cqn only underclock it. Does anyone know if it cqn be overclocked? And how to change the boot animation? I already improved space using gl to sd, but I haven't found any forums on overclocking qnd and boot animation. Please help this noob. And thank you
You can use Boot Box (look it up on Google Play) to change your boot animation. To overclock your CPU, you're going to need a supported kernel, which isn't available at the moment. Overclocking won't be possible on your device unless someone releases a kernel which supports it.
By the way, you have posted this thread in the wrong forum section.

Yes, the device is rooted, I have supersu enabled. And my device is currently stock rom. However I can't seem to change much. I tried to change the notification background using rom toolbox and that also didn't work. It seems as though my Device uses qmg files

If you are rooted, then install xposed framework & modules. It's the best way to customize. Use the search bar to find them.

Of course not. If it says 4.2, it's for 4.2 (always read the OP carefully) & so on. If you know what you're doing, you won't brick your phone, for sure

I would not advise doing that. As the file is from 5.1.1 there is no telling what changes to the system that has been done.

You are correct. I should have been more specific. Post #95 includes file download from CM13 (Android 6.0). Working fine for me on MMB29V.

It seems to me that you already know the answer. You are familiar with the terms TWRP and root.
Beside the question you need to give a motive.

Hello,
I just wanted to see if it was possible activate led notification without changing the original system, even with some apks ( I do not know but that someone could know ). This was the meaning of my request ..... I apologize if I have not been able to explain.

Understood. It is nice to know the 'why' behind questions.
On my N6 I've LED control, but with a Lite rom of Danvdh and the cataclysm mod. Works good, but .......root and TWRP.

It just turn on dim display when notification arrives.
Its useful because you don't have to wake up the device with power key to see arrived notifications. It saves the efforts of unlocking the device every time to see notifications.

So you are not on stock! This is a modified services.jar file, it gives superusermod privileges.
Stock means nothing modded.
@andro2master he says superusermod is enough to get this work, deodexed not required. Thanks for your work. I will flash superusermod and give a try :fingers-crossed:
Edit: Tried, it works with just superusermod

Okay. Thanks!
Stock is stock, even if u install all fancy mods and deodex the hell out of it.
The only non-stock ROMs are custom ROMs (aosp, lineage, carbon etc).
So right now OP is telling people they need custom ROM instead of stock or modded stock ROMs.
Maybe u should change that, just my 2 cents..
Keep it up.

Advanced users knows the difference between stock and custom roms. Here Stock refers to not modified by deodexing or patching service.jar. Hope will take it in right sense..

You can use it on stock rooted rom with patched service.jar i.e. Super User mod. Give a try its working for others.
