[Q] CM7.1 Proximity - screen stays off after call

Hey everyone,
My proximity sensor & light sensor are both broken (repair shop said the cable needed changing), and thats fine with me.
I used to run MIUI and i just disabled the use of proximity sensor and autobacklight and everything worked ok.
I tried CM7.1 yesterday, and I really like it more than MIUI, but the issue im having is that most of the time, when I get or make a call (even if the phone is in my hand) the screen turns off immediately and refuses to wake up again, I have to pull the battery.
Any ideas on how to fix? thanks
you need disable it, try this, i solve problem by this method
THANK YOU
Thank you very very very very much! it worked like a charm!

If you have s-off can use any filemanager with rw to system, if s-on you need load custom recovery and mount system then load adb shell and using cp command copy this files from SD to system
sorry for the noob question but what is s-off,,i have an unlocked neus one with cm7

[Q] Mount as R/W?

Hey,
I rooted my C6903 a few weeks ago and i want to install BusyBox.
So the installation via both apps is failing, I think its because my System is mounted as R/O.
Is there a way to mount it as R/W? I tried it with Root Explorer and with the ADB Shell (I dont know what i exactly did, just saw a few Tutorials).
Maybe u can tell me what I have to do ! Im very new at the root scene so please dont complain about me.
Greez !

mount -o remount,rw /system mount: Read-only file system

Im on Android M preview 2 with Desparis 3.3 kernel, rooted.
I would like to update build.prop and change user -> userdebug.
Before on Lollipop all I had to do is remount /system in rw and change the file.
Android M doesn't allow me to remount /system in rw.
adb push fails to overwrite the file.
Any solutions please ?

I dont think you can write to system at all anymore, even with root. I do it all in recovery for right now.
Thanks! At least it's one possible solution !

Actually, can you elaborate how do you do it ?
I've just tried booting into TWRP, then connected the phone to PC, did adb push of changed build.prop into /system, reboot the phone and realized that the phone still has the old build.prop.

First in twrp make sure you mount system in the mount menu then you should be able to push and pull. You probably pushed the file nowhere even though I think you should've got a error message. I pulled the build.prop straight from twrp edited it then pushed it right back. Did it for the tethering hack. ? ?

I didn't think write to system was working in the M builds. Must be something wrong with his root method.

Root works great in all apps.
The only problem I have is with RO system. Before M I would use ES explorer to modify and save build.prop and Android Terminal to remount system as RW. But it doesn't work like that anymore in M.
Ive never tried root explorer.

it works exactly like it did before over here. and ive manuslly changed my build.orop several times already.
I'm on Preview 2, rooted, Despair kernel 3.3.
Still confused as to how to enable mounting /system r/w from within Android and not TWRP. Trying FX file explorer as well as Terminal Emulator with no success. I have Busybox installed and under Applet Manager it shows the "Mount" applet as installed and symlinked to /system/bin/toolbox.

Root Explorer FTW. Always works and same file system as shows on PC.
Well Root Explorer wasn't the answer, surprisingly enough haha...
Needed insecure boot.img obtained here flashed with help from this thread, with further reading here for better understanding or doing it yourself.
Also I apparently forgot that adbd insecure by chainfire exists until just now, which could have potentially been another solution.

[Solved] Adaway doesn't work

Hi @all. Adaway doesn't work for me. It can't copy the host files. I don't know why. Root is okay, checked with root checker. Adaway has permission to write on the storage. Can anybody help me?

That's just for the hosts file. You want to know if /system is mounted rw. If you have an app like terminal emulator, open it and type: mount Then look for /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system on /system type ext4. In parentheses it will either have ro (read-only) or rw(read-write).
Also, I don't use Solid explorer but it probably has a way to mount the system rw. Someone else would have to help you with that.
Edit: You would have to be rooted to change permissions with a file manager like Solid.

Download version 3.2 or higher and activate "enable systemless mode" in preferences. Then you won't get that error.

Thx, this works
I have a problem too looks like this and it cannot load it... help
Check your host sources, too. Here's what I use.
Heloo the same problem herr tried all means mentioned above no help bad enough i don't see systemless in Adaway 3.3
Image
Solution - go to twrp, go to wipe then advanced wipe, select system and then tap on increase size.
The problem is because the partition has no space left to accommodate files. You will not be able to write host files nor change font via ifont because both files need space ~5mb. Hope this solves your problem.

System.ui corrupted due to theme-bug, restoring

Good day all,
My system.ui has crashed, this is due to a bug in the theme package itself.
I would not like to re-flash everything just because of a corrupted system.ui file, so I rather replace it.
In TWRP I have mounted /system and went for /system/app but there is no luck in finding system.ui.apk?
How will I remove / replace my system.ui if I can't find it in system?

In TWRP, why don't you simply restore the TWRP system backup you recently made? Problem solved!

Go look in the substratum folder and see if there is a rescue.zip, it will disable all the themes you have. Flash in TWRP.

I tried looking for it, but I couldn't find it. All I found of Substram was a .Substraum folder in my /sdcard and some in /data
========= EDIT I managed to find it, it is in the /sdcard Substraum rather than /sdcard .substraum (appearantly there are two) ===============
