"Probably the reason why it's not working is that the /system partition is mounted read-only for obvious (security) reasons."
This may be true, but according to the adb command [ http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=ADB ] You should be able to get around this by remounting. Relevant: "adb remount - remounts the /system partition on the device read-write" However, I've done that and I'm still receiving: failed to copy './hosts' to '/system/etc/hosts': Out of memory I, like the rest, am simply trying to test a local website on android. Is editing the hosts file not the recommended approach for testing dev stage websites on android? I'm open to suggestions for a better way....
