Can't rename file in Root Explorer

[groundpounder]

I am attempting to install one of HarleyDudes great boot animations, after dn loading Root Explorer and trying to rename the bootanimation.zip, I get the error msg ( can't rename file,file system is read only ). I know there should be a way to change it but can't seem to figure it out, I have a Droid X Rooted, W/ Darkslide rom installed. Any ideas on this? Thanks

There should be a button at the top right of the screen that will say "mount r/w" or something to that effect. Tap on that to switch between Read/Write and Read Only.

At the top there's a tab that says mounted as, click it where it says mounted as r/w in the tab. R/W means read/write where u can edit files and such, R/O means read/only where u can't edit and stuff. Ninja'd shouldn't have went into details. Lol

There is a button to select R/W or R/O, tried it both ways and still get the same error!

try rebooting then setting it for R/W
Al;ternately, grab ES file explorer from the market (free), go into settings, at the bottom enable root function, then enable r/w, then under files, enable view hidden files and you should be good

Try uninstalling and reinstalling Root Explorer... Did you allow root permissions when you first opened it?

When you Open Root Explorer...very top...you be able to toggle from r/o or r/w...r/w may already be opened...
Scroll down to SD Card...Open...then Open Clockwork..then to Backup...Long press your last B-up then chose...Rename...use - the your File name...no spaces...

Once again great work HD, While here thought I'd ask, before Darkslide I Had Liberty installed, after Data and Cache Wipe and installing Darkslide I still get the liberty logo at startup, any way to get rid of that?
