Just thinking aloud: If the original permissions were 0666, and you've changed them to 0777 -- all you did is make it executable for everybody (bit 1), as it before already was set read (bit 4) and write (2) for everybody. a) what should that achieve? and b) do you think it's really a good idea to keep it read- and writeable for every process? Original was rather 0644, my guess ;)

| Jan 20, 2013 at 21:45 | comment | added | cnexus | I know, but my answer was simply based on the fact that the majority of people who post on places like this are only looking for quick-and-dirty solutions...not mind-numbing learning processes, unfortunately :) | |

I know what you're talking about, but the solution proposed above is most likely a more viable solution for users in general, and probably for the OP as well. Your solution may be more permanent, but requires more knowledge of Android, boot.img splitting, and the Linux file system

| Jan 20, 2013 at 21:19 | comment | added | t0mm13b | What I have stated is a more permanent solution but worthwhile instead of relying on third-party apps. And also, init-scripts are where the permissions are set at boot prior to Android loading - Simples really, instead of resorting to fiddly hacks such as the above answer each time Android boots... | |

Well obviously someone doesn't read answers fully. And not necessarily. A permanent solution can still be achieved without any need to dive into the boot.img and split the ram-disk from it. The OP can put the commands above in a script and download a third-party program to run it at boot. There are plenty of applications that have that capability and your solution is most likely too complex anyway.

That will work provided the handset is not rebooted, for a more permanent solution, the init.rc script would have to be modified and rebuilt within the ram-disk and for that the boot.img would have to be re-created.

Reformatted and stripped out html tags

| Jan 20, 2013 at 20:37 | comment | added | t0mm13b | Are you sure this will work, as that sounds a temporary measure, ie. permissions will be lost upon reboot? BTW: OP's handset is not-rooted so not a good answer either! | |
