Drop the .apk you want to restore into the "tools" folder in the Android SDK then open a command window there and use adb
adb remount
adb push name.apk /system/app
Where name is replaced by the name of the .apk you are moving there, it has to match exactly caps and all.
And you can get the apk by downloading your rom from the dev section and unzipping the file. Look under /system/app.

I wouldn't worry about using ADB or command lines. I have found with APK's, it's easiest just to use something like ES file Explorer, or Astro File manager (both free in the market).
Just find the file on your SD card, and click on it, it will allow you to install it from there. I attached the APK to make it easy. If you are browsing from your phone, just download and install this. You don't even need a file manager.

Every time i try to do something on the SDK its says no space left on device.
So i got a root manager and a file manager to try to delete some files that i knew i wasn't using, but every time i reboot they show back up. What do i do to delete the files from my phone?
As your phone sits... you don't have permission to do this... please run enrevoked forever and then you will have permission to delete files.
I've searched for this and no luck... I'm using Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS4 and trying to reinstall some of the removed .apks that are in the optional folder, and others that I have moved myself using Root Explorer. Some of them I could just click and they would install via the app installer with no problem. However, I'm getting an "application not installed" message for some.
I've tried installing from the folder (with success for some apk's) and also tried moving the files back to the original location system/app and installing from there. (I've also had this work in one instance). In addition, I've tried rebooting and wipes of dalvik in between attempts.
An example: I moved HTCTwitter to the sd card and the app (Peep) was gone as expected. Next I tried reinstalling to test whether or not it would work and got the dreaded "app not installed" message. After that I tried just moving file back to the original location using root explorer and a restart. The file moved to the correct location, but no sign of the app. I tried installing from within system/app and same "app not installed".
This is not isolated to this ROM for me. Had same issue with AVA Froyo. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Are the one's that you are having trouble with "System Apps"?
It seems like it's mostly the apps that came pre-installed like Peep in the example and I remember the issue with Teeter as well. I recall having an issue with twitter, when I moved it thinking it was the peep app and could not reinstall that app. However, I went to the mkt and the twitter app install with no problem.
So, yes. It seems like systems apps.
Try setting your permissions mask to match an installed app. While you're at it check ownership and chown to match.
Oh yeah I'm sure you're first uninstalling, then installing a new.

Try using adb what you need to do is place your apk in your androidsdk tools folder, open cmd, cd to your androidsdk/tools folders, and push the apk to there location wanted. Example pushing gmail would be as follows.
Code:
Adb remount
Adb push gmail.apk system/app
An reboot

Thanks. Going to give adb a try. I saw that suggestion somewhere else too. It seems like just copying to system/app places the file there, but doesn't have the same effect as adb push.
Also, I did try matching permissions when I was having issues with teeter trying to use root explorer. The strange thing is that I was able to do this a few months ago with the same apk, if I recall correctly, by just installing from Astro file mgr.
Thanks for the help guys.

Iirc the only time I ever got that message was when froyo apps2sd lost its links and I filled my phone memory with apps.

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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.

we were all noobs at one point if you post your apk here i will make you a flashable zip
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
I'm on Fresh Evo and the video camera force closes....
So, i tried uninstalling the htccamera and installing the camera.apk from CMs rom, since that camera is much better than htccamera.
Anyway, I've tried putting the apk on the sdcard and when I click on it to install, it says "application not installed."
If I try moving the apk to the system/app folder I get an error "java.io.filenotfound/system/app/Camera.apk(permission denied)
I've tried pushing and pulling from adb, also with errors.
I'm fully rooted, is there something I'm missing? a Checkbox somewhere? I've allowed installing applications from unknown sources, so that's not it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I don't know if it will work for the camera, but when installing a system app, I use root explorer (which isn't free from the market) to mount r/w permissions in the system/app folder so that I can copy and paste the app inside that folder. Then I long press the app and click on permissions, then only check the boxes for Owner/Read, Owner/Write, Group/Read, and Other/Read. The app then installs itself when I reboot the phone.

Downloaded Root Explorer, finally was able to copy the camera.apk into the system/app folder. Success there, but...
Changed all the permissions like you said, then clicked on the apk to install it. A window opened up with an install button, clicked it, and then it came up with the message "application not installed." I rebooted and it looked like the camera installed, it showed up in the app list, but when I click it, it force closes, comes up with an error "we're sorry, camera has closed unexpectedly, com.android.camera, please try again.
Any ideas on how to get passed the force close. It's doing exactly what the htccamera would do when I tried to use the video camera.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I'm running into a problem with installing system APKs on a the rooted EL29 GB 2.3.6.
I've extracted system APKs from other EL29 GB2.3.6 ROMs as well as copied APKs from my own current ROM's /system/apps folder (examples would include the calculator and camera APKs.)
I try to follow the guide @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414355Epic
Using Root Explorer I place these APK files in the /system/app folder, mounting the folder as R/W, adjusting the file permissions to (rw-r--r--), I click the file and choose install, and finally I get a progress bar followed by a message that says "Application not installed."
When I try to use ADB I get the following message:
c:\ADB>adb install camera.apk
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
2672 KB/s (1319121 bytes in 0.482s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/camera.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
Can you please help me or at least teach me why some APKs install just fine and others wont.

Hmmm. I have always just put APK's on the SD card, selected them in rootexplorer and installed. When one won't install, it is usually either a conflict between the apk and the OS version OR a conflict between what I am trying to install and something already installed.
From the error message it sounds like a problem reading the internal manifest of the app .... But this is just a guess.

That would be because you are trying to "install" a system app to data. This will not work. Try this..
Code:
adb push yourapp.apk /system/app
Code:
adb reboot
enjoy.

I tried this as well, and I recieved the same problem when attempting to install the app via launching on phone.
Heres where it gets even stranger:
I copied /system/app/protips.apk and protips.odex to /system/
Then I used ROM toolkit to uninstall the protips program.
I rebooted the phone, mounted /system as RW and copied the apk and odex back to /system/app via Root Explorer. I tried to install this via running the apk in Root Explorer from /systme/app and get the same message about the app not being installed.
So here I am with an APK from the very ROM I'm running and I still cant resintall.

The point is for system applications, you just need to copy the .apk file to /system/app, fix permissions, and that's it. After the .apk file is placed in that folder, you do NOT need to select the .apk file and try to install it. It already is installed. Just reboot.
Got error as mentioned above
