Hey guys i was wondering if there was an apk for the MIUI launcher b/c i really enjoy that launcher but it is unstable right now so if I can get a launcher that would be awesome.
I don't know but ill tell you how to get it. Download miui and then unzip the rom. Go to /system/app and look for an apk named launcher or something similar.

do I extract the file then copy it to my sd card then install from there?
Thanks so much if this works and if it doesn't thanks for the idea!
I just tried it and all i got was "! application not installed" should i try to zip it and flash it? or is there any other route i can take?
Yeah you can push it to /system/app using adb, or copy and paste with root explorer, or make a flashable zip file.

I am a big time noob, so what is the easiest way to do it. I have never used any of these routes and how do you zip a file so that it is flashable? thanks again so much for your help your are super helpful.
so i tried copying and pasting using root explorer and it did not work, i get a message saying "you cannot paste here becaue the file system is read only"

In the upper right corner there I'd a bottom theft says mount rw(read/write) push that then try to paste there, but a lot of the time that will not work so if it does not you can use adb. you plug your phone in with debugging on, place your apk in your sdk tools folder.
My sdk tooks folder is located at c:/androidsdk/tools and say the apk you are using the launcher.apk so i would open the cmd and use the following commands.
cd c:/androidsdk/tools
adb remount
adb push launcher.apk system/app
adb reboot
After each command wait till its done after last command your phone will reboot.

Thanks a bunch for the advice but i have never used abd so I would need to know what the program is called and where to get it and what folder that is and maybe a few attempts at it. Sorry I'm such a noob, all I know how to do is download a rom or kernel and flash from recovery.

Wow thank you So much man you are awesome and so are the other fellows that helped. I gotta un-noob myself at some point in my life. This is the launcher I got when I went into the zip file and went to system/apps/ of the miui rom whether there are other things that make it the way it is I don't know. (folders and no app drawer)
Thanks again guys

Your a lot of help.but kept force closing thanks for the extra work you did. Wish I could thank you more them once on here
not sure why it would be force closing unless it a bad apk if you find another apk you can open the zip up with 7-zip and replace the old one with the new one and close do not unzip it just open

#1 are you using a 2.3 rom?

i suggest you put the sdk folder in C:\ makes it easier you use in adb and put launcher2 file in the sdk after you put it in C:\
open command prompt
type "cd C:\sdk\tools"
then type "adb push C:\sdk\launcher2.apk /system/app/
if it works all you have to do is press your home key then it will let you choose which launcher you want
It's still not working. Ive tried moving it in file explorer but it wont let me. I can't even uninstall adw.
Try adb remount, then push the files

put the launcher apk & this file on your sdcard & use file manager to install the root explorer..then open it
scroll down to system..in system go to app(this is where your apps are)
if a grey button on the top says r/w click it..this will allow you to move or delete files in the app folder
then try to move launcher into the app folder

Hi All,
I was wondering if I could put out a request for some APKs. I would like to have live wallpapers on Bonsai and have tried putting livewallpaper.apk and the picker into my Epic but I don't have Root Explorer and I can't seem to change the permissions on those files. Right now all of the APKs I found have Read Yes Write Yes and the other one No. All of the APKs in my app directory have Read Yes Write No and other one No. Could someone post those APKs with permissions set like that? I don't know if that is my exact problem or if it is worth it to buy RE for only that purpose.
TIA,
DD
I believe its been mentioned before that ES File Explorer brings most of the Root Explorer functionality for free. I could be wrong though since ive never tried it myself. Worth a shot though if its just a permissions issue.

Thanks. I have tried everything. I could not change the permissions using sdx or ES File manager. All I could do with those programs was access the system directories. Unless I am doing something wrong, I will either need to get Root Explorer and change the permissions or get altered livewallpaper apks.

OK. I think I may be confusing some people.
I would like to have Live Wallpapers in Bonsai since it's been removed. I did some research and found that you need to install the livewallpaper apks into the system/app directory. I did that using ES File Manager and rebooted. It didn't work. I did some more research and a few people had the same issue. The solution was to make sure the permissions in the livewallpaper apks was exactly the same as the permissions as the other apks in the apps directory. The apks in the directory all have Read Yes, Write No and Hidden No. All of the livewallpaper apks I found had permissions set up as Read Yes, Write Yes and Hidden No. I figure if I change the Write from Yes to No, it might work. I'm not 100% positive which is why I don't know if it's worth it to buy Root Explorer just to experiment. I'm hoping someone can provide me with the livewallpaper and livewallpaperspicker apks with altered permissions that have those settings.
Estewa_619, I will try that ROM. Thanks!
Tried the Frankenstein ROM livewallpaper apks and it still didn't work. The permissions are still set up as Read Yes, Write Yes and Hidden No.

This is very easy to solve. Go to midnight rom and download it to computer. Open up the midnight extras folder and you will find lots of zip files in there that are all flashable in CWM. Just extract the folder, then copy the live wallpaper zips you want onto your sd card, then flash in CWM.
Alternatively, what I normally do is download the rom you want to flash (Bonsai). Open it up on your pc. Navigate to system/apps. Paste the livewallper apks into that directory. Then flash normally. This will include any files you want in the system/app folder.

7zip (windows) is what u want to use 2 open the zip but DO NOT EXTRACT it!!! Well in 7zip paste the apks u want into system/apps. Then close 7zip. Move the rom 2 ur sdcard and flash as u would normaly. U can also replace the boot/shutdown animation and a few other parts of the rom that you can add or subtract stuff from. I hope this help as not to sound offensive but u seem a bit newbish and 7zip isa great tool for viewing zip files w/o extracting them took me a good deal of time 2 find this handy tool, hope this helps ya out...

If doing by adb, place the bootanimation.zip in your android sdk folder, in command prompt, navigate there, and issue the following commands:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
/system/customize/resource on sense roms
OR
place the file on your sdcard, use root explorer, enable r/w, copy the file, then move it to the above folder.

you need to download the Android SDK from the internet.
If you don't have ADB setup, it would take you two seconds to do this with root explorer to copy this from you sd card to system/media.

Very simple. Go to the site, install, open in, hit the sdk manager exe, run it, it creates a folder and you're done.
Then you you navigate to the folder via command prompt, then do your business.
None of this Bootscreen stuff makes sense, Please help?
I am using Evervolv-Acies rom, with clockmod recovery. I am trying to install this custom boot screen, but it's not working or I am doing it wrong. I have tried...
Install with "PushBoot" installer
- Download PushBoot HERE
- Extract "PushBoot" folder
- Move boot animation zip to "PushBoot" folder
- Plug in device (Leave in charge only mode) & double click "PushBoot2" Batch file
- Follow prompts in cmd.exe window to install your boot animation
Install with Root Explorer
- Download bootanimation.zip and put on root of your SD card
- Open RE & navigate to "system/media"
- Select "Mount R/W", then either delete, or move existing bootanimation.zip
- Navigate back to "sdcard", then move bootanimation.zip to "system/media" (AOSP ROMs)
- For Sense ROMs, move it to "/system/customize/resource"
Is Root Explorer a program? Or is it just File Library? or there is another App in the market, just Explorer.
Under File Library, I went to system/media and then it shows my zip file, but what do I do with this.. It doesn't sync with the directions. Also, the other way, was pushboot, which I tried, plugged in my usb cable to my computer and phone, hit the pushboot2 on the computer, couldn't find device. What am I doing wrong? All I want to do is change this bootscreen and possibly a splash screen?? Please help???
Root explorer is an app available from the market...just long press on the new bootanimation.zip,select copy navigate to the correct path for your Rom , rename old bootanimation.zip to bootanination.bak (if you want to keep it) paste in the new file...bada bing bada boom...you're done. What folder you need to navigate depends on which Rom you are using....

Please don't install it via cwm! . An apk is nothing more than a normal zip file with a special folder structure/contained files (you already posted the contained files ). So perhaps your browser tried to find the "best" extension and named it *.zip. Just rename it to *.apk again, push it to your phone and try to install it again. Then it should work...

Don't know what ROM you are on... your knowledge of pushing apps to /system (ie., via adb), etc., so I'm attaching the stock samsung keyboard (plain grey) with auto-correct functionality. You need to be rooted at least. Copy the attached apk to your phone... then, using your favorite root file manager (like Root Explorer, etc) copy to /system folder first... fix permissions to rw.r..r.. then, MOVE to /system/app. It will ask if you want to replace the current "SamsungIME.apk", answer yes. You should be good to go.

Those are folders/files in the flashable zip. Let's try the simpliest approach first.
1. Download "Root Explorer (File Manager) from the PlayStore, and install
2. From my post #6 above, save the attached file (SamsungIME.apk)... on your phone's sdcard
3. Open Root Explorer, and navigate to the folder on your phone (sdcard) where you put the SamsungIME.apk... long press it, then select "Copy"
4. now while still within Root Explorer, navigate to /system folder, and hit "Paste" (make sure you mount as R/W.. it's the button at the top. If you are mounted as Read Only, you'll get an error message "You cannot past here because the file system is read only". Just hit the "Mount R/W" toggle at the top of screen.
5. Now, "SamsungIME.apk" is in your /system folder. You need to fix permissions. Long press "SamsungIME.apk" and select "Permissions". There are boxes with green check marks. toggle the boxes so that you only have green check marks in: Owner: R W ; Group: R ; Others: R. Hit "OK"
6. Now, long press "SamsungIME.apk" file again, and select "Move"
7. Navigate to /system/app (you should already be in /system, so just tap the "app" folder
8. Make sure you are still mounted as "R/W", if so, tap the "Paste" key at bottom. this will put "SamsungIME.apk" in the /system/app folder
9. if you did all this correctly, you should be good to go...

It appears you are not understanding some of the android basics...and that can be extremely dangerous... especially since you are rooted. From you screenshot, you show zip files in your /system folder. Per my previous post, I stated to copy "SamsungIME.apk" to /system... fix permissions... then MOVE to /system/app. Your screenshot shows zip files in your /system folder (i.e., "SamsungIME.zip"). My attachment is the apk file itself. So apparently when you downloaded, it zipped it for compression purposes. YOU NEED THE APK. I suspect it is inside that zip file.. so you'll need to know how to unzip that zip.. and get the ".apk" The APKs goes into the /system/app folder (Not /system). Try again, and get the SamsungIME.apk out of that zip... copy that apk to /system.. fix permissions... then move (not copy) to /system/app (it's a sub folder within /system). If this didn't work, you have done something wrong.
Damn I had the feeling some was wrong. So should I get that out of the system folder? How do I do that ? I cant delete or move them. Does it harm if I leave them there? Ya im trying that now how yiu explained the apk I get it . Thanks alot tho for ur patients

I use Root Explorer... if you long press the file, you get the option to delete file. Delete the ".zip" files in /system folder. Your screenshot looks like ES File Explorer (or something similar). You should be able to "select" that zip file, then delete. Go back to my Post#6 and download the APK file (SamsumgIME.apk)... do not zip it... you should be able to download file as apk. Then follow my previous instructions. Again, get the APK file (not .zip) to /system folder.... then fix permissions... then MOVE (don't copy or you will leave a copy of the apk behind in /system) to /system/app folder. System apk files belong in the app subfolder of system (/system/app). When you go to paste the apk in /system/app, you will be asked to replace existing file... replace it. Try again... report back.
Ok thanks will do that tomorow . I use es explorer yes. When I try to delete it says file cannot be deleted. Cant see any apk file I use windows 8 maybe tahts why?

Don't know what ROM you are on... your knowledge of pushing apps to /system (ie., via adb), etc., so I'm attaching the stock samsung keyboard (plain grey) with auto-correct functionality. You need to be rooted at least. Copy the attached apk to your phone... then, using your favorite root file manager (like Root Explorer, etc) copy to /system folder first... fix permissions to rw.r..r.. then, MOVE to /system/app. It will ask if you want to replace the current "SamsungIME.apk", answer yes. You should be good to go.
