I am using Galaxy Y (S5360) with CyanogenMod 11 build date Feb 2015. Previously on stock ROM, I was using Link2SD to move apps to system/app
. Trying to do the same now is giving the following error.
sh: cannot create /system/priv-app/name.apk .t:read only filesystem.
Why is it trying to move to /priv-app
instead of /app
? What are the possible solutions.
- Change permissions?
- Use some other tool or do it manually? (Looking for simplicity).
Things I've tried so far:
- ES File Explorer: change permissions, gives "Operation Failed". "Mount as rw" option does not show up.
- Terminal:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock8 /system
& thencp /data/app/fooBarApp-1.apk /system/app/fooBarApp.apk
gives error "Can't create foobar.apk. read only".
Any help is appreciated. Thank You.
