Move Files To Phone?
No, not to the SDCard, to the Phone's internal memory. How do you do it?
My general desire is to put some files in /sdcard to /system/media/audio/ringtones
My phone's rooted, and I tried to move the files with root on a terminal emulator, but it said it's a read-only filesytem. Is there anyway to move the files over without editing /etc/fstab or whatever the android equivalent is?

Found another way actually, can't believe I didn't think of it first. The phone's already rooted so I just popped up a terminal and remounted /system/ as read-write, so copying over was possible.
# mount -o rw,remount /system
The reason why I want it there is because I hate inconsistency, and so if I mounted the SDcard to write something to it it'd use default notification/ringtones, and it drove me insane. The two files were tiny anyways, and I'm not running out of memory on the internal storage either. Actually being able to read-write the /system/ directory saved more space then it used - I deleted the notifications and ringtones I never used, as well as cleaning out the amazon MP3 and Facebook apps I never used while I was there.Last edited by Mardoct; 07-19-2010 at 08:33 PM.

There is a program that even I use to have my ringtones in place. Droid Explorer its legit, free and also user friendly for rooted people

I'll try to help now and then but hardly ever answer through PM. Keep It simple and easy to understand for other people to understand. Hit the Thanks button if I helped.
