I tried changing Rosie.apk and move it back to /system/app
Im using Root explorer
after I changed Permissions to "system" (rw-r--r--) and to app (the same permissions) I copied the file and want to go back and change to the dufault.
but I get FC and the phone stuck, and the only solution is to return to Recovery, and restore.
maybe there's another option to change back the permissions?

So I removed the htclockscreen.apk with titanium backup, but for some reason TB didn't backup the app its self, only the apps data... so I can't just restore it with TB. However I sent the file to my email so that I would have a back up copy in case something dumb happened like this. So my question is how do I reinstall the htclockscreen.apk back on to my phone?
Since you have the original apk still, you can use root explorer (on the phone itself) or adb.
With root explorer, just copy/cut the apk, navigate to /system/app/ make sure to press the Mount as R/W button and then paste the apk and reboot.
Using adb, do:
adb remount
adb push htclockscreen.apk /system/app
adb reboot
So i bought Root Explorer, copied the HtcLockScreen.apk file over into the system/app directory pressed the r/w button and pasted it. Rebooted my device and its still the vanillia Lockscreen. When i try to install the HtcLockScreen.apk it says that Application not installed. Even though it looks like it was going to install. After the reboot i went in and checked to see if it was still in the system/app folder and it was. Im a little confused on what im doing wrong or why its not working. The HtcLockScreen.apk file is 797K big, at least the one that i sent to my self in an email as a backup. Can anyone confirm that this is the correct one based on the size of the file.
I actually solved the issue. I had to grab the corresponding .odex file and put that into the folder as well and then i rebooted and BAM, it works again.
Is there a way to restore the original Sprint startup screen?
I don't have (nor did I want) the sound that went with it, but here's the original bootanimation zip. Just place it in appropriate path (/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip) and check the permissions. (I can't remember what they're supposed to be but 777 should work.)
A lot of people suggest using adb push commands to change boot animations but root explorer with /system mounted r/w works just as well, just don't forget the permissions!
I sorry, but beiong new to this I do not know how to put the file there or set permissions. Thanks in advance!
Do you have Root explorer?
No I do not. I have never heard of it.
you can download it from the market

aaaand on description say: backup your original apk. lol But how does that?
iam overwhelmed XD
firstly the apk is not for install manually.
you need to move it to system/app using root explorer.
ffirstly copy the file to system
mount r/w
and change the permission to 644 or rw-r--r--
now move systemui.apk to system/app
and restart phone,
it should take effect.

You just saved my life man, thank you very much. I had lost my notification bar by downloading a theme through an in-app rom app. Thank you again!

I tried moving the original apk back but it wouldnt work.
on ESFile explorer, mount r/w has ro and rw options. which ones do I need to have checked?

Check both r/w.
And SystemUI.apk cannot be installed. Shouldn't be either.

Hi, I have the rom European stock "root" I have used several applications to edit the build.prop and delete some files from /system/app and /system/priv-app, with is file explorer give the root permissions, I delete apps and I modify the build.prop and goes well but when I restart the terminal, applications are back in /system/app and build.prop is as if she had not changed. Any idea what it might be?
Your device, although rooted, still has protection against writing to /system.
Flash the file from THIS thread, then repeat what you did, and the changes will stay this time.
thank you very much, worked very well
All posts I saw in search bar were over a year old and am not sure if they are relevant on 5.0
Problem: I cannot change permissions of files on my internal sd card.
Temporary solution: move file to /system/app, change permissions and then move file to wherever it needs to go.
If anyone knows of a more permanent solution please help.
EDIT- flashed a custom rom or ten and now I can change permissions all day. If you are on stock and have the issue I had than moving the file to change permissions works too. I like to change boot animations and changing permissions is a must.
