Try to start adblock or any other app that needs root.

adb root
adb connect x.x.x.x
adb shell
chmod -R 777 /data

also i found it works on several other files and sub-directories on user debug 3.1 sys, dev, var, etc

but i can't get rw access to the system directory(which i believe is the key)....i am a novice...i know more about makeup than linux

Yes, and sadly, unless replacing or modifying the kernel you can't, since the kernel forces ro upon system and the mtdblock it's on.

Do those changes persist restarts? I was under the impression you'd need to change the mount R/W status. The file attributes are independent of that. You may just be changing the inode structure so that you are modifying a shadow copy.

Little offtopic: could someone with UserDebug firmware, please, post the list of files in /lib directory? Like:
adb connect x.x.x.x
adb shell
ls /lib

Thanks!
