Locked Folders - iOSID - 2016-05-14
I just have one noob question. I'm using the built in Confluence skin, but I'd like to modify the "home.xml" file. I’d like to replace the “Waether” menu item with a custom Menu using one of my favorites. I don’t want to use CCM because it has not been updated for a while.
I'm able to get to the folder (usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.confluence/720p), and I'm able to modify the XML file, but I can't save it. It keeps giving me an error. Where do I go to give myself permission to modify these files? I'm on a Mac and I tried using Fetch, and using the built in finder "Connect to Server" function. I can access the folder both ways, but I can't modify any files in it. I tried the: ”mount /flash -o remount,rw” command, but that didn’t help. I modified samba.config and added myself writing permissions for the usr folder, but that just made the folder visible in the finder, not writable.
I hope someone has an answer to my problem.

I got an answer from another forum, just in case there are other users trying to figure this out.
Copy the skin folder to storage/.kodi/addons. Rename the folder to something like skin.confluence.myskinname. Modify the "id" and "name" fields in addon.xml. Make your skin related changes. Reboot. Select your skin in Settings.
