Which method did you use?

 

[jkieffer46]

The 1st one- toolbox and terminal

The 1st one- toolbox and terminal

The toolbox method doesn't work for everyone, it's kind of hit or miss.

Try the root explorer method or the VI method.

 

[jkieffer46]

what and where do i get vi?

 

[Jboxen]

It's built in I believe.

 

[RockFresh15]

the post says that youll receive two denied commands at the end that mean nothing, if your setting stick in the toolbox youll know it worked, or i think you can see it in the cmd code

 

[jkieffer46]

Oh I thought that meant with root explorer only. So we're sayin my stuff works then? I guess we'll see when my battery life is 23748326 days before it dies.
