Android: Getting execute permissions issue with non-root device (Asus TF300T*)
<p>I know the answer to this is probably that I have to root the device but I am looking for more pragmatic solutions. </p>

<p>I ported git using the android toolchain, I then copy the folder to the device. However, when the files are copied they are not given execute permissions. Is there a way I can either chmod or copy to the device with execute permissions? Another option would be how do I copy files (adb is fine) so that they are not owned by the root user?</p>

<p>a normal chmod gives operation not permitted.</p>
