[Q] Restored apps wont run - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, yesterday I removed a whole load of junk apps thanks to this thread, but I now have a problem and need help with it.
I decided to move 'SemcGallery3D.apk' and 'SemcCamera3D.apk' to the SD card because I didn't want the 3D option, but then afterwards the panorama and 3D panorama don't work also the whole gallery application doesn't work (not just the 3D gallery). I moved the two files back to the system/app folder, but it still doesn't work, is there another step involved in restoring these?
thanks

hold on the app until the dialog box come out, click permissions, check all the read/write/execute box , see if this help

I just tried this, but it made no difference

Put back both to /system/app. Permission should be rw-r-r

Actually I just checked and the two apps in question aren't rw-r-r, but rwxr-x. So I am guessing that's the problem? I'm still new to all this, so how to I change them back to rw-r-r? Is it to do with how the folder is mounted r/w R/O etc.? Can you explain what's the difference, thanks

use Root explorer (Needs Root) copy the file to the folder, there is a button on the top right side to mount it as RW (re-writable) from RO (Read Only), if you long press on the file, a popup menu will open, from there select permissions, and set it in this order:
R W -
R - -
R - -

System files/apps without the correct permissions will not work, and may even result in bootloops.

Okay thanks, I did this and when I restarted the phone it worked again

REQUEST: Please Create a Bootscreen with this Image

Hi all, I came across this interesting image. It's a GIF and I thought it would look great as a bootscreen animation. I would do it myself, but I'm not exactly savvy with this and I'd rather not cause trouble with my phone. So, if anyone would graciously accept my request, I'd be quite grateful.
This is the image:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
PS. Please create one for the resolution of the Wildfire S, which is why I'm posting in this section.
I'll make it for you when I have time.
request done
Here you go dude. delete old one first before copying and set permissions to RW,R,R or 644.

Bro I know how to push that bootanimation.zip have been sucessful in doing so earlier but what permision are you talking about that was my exact question .. cuz i never needed to set permision for boot animations before
adb shell
chmod 644 /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Or open root explorer, navigate to to the zip file, press and hold, tap permissions and set to rw, r, r

Do that, then long press on the bootanimation.zip and change the permissions to give everyone read access and write only to user

I guess my ROM won't allow me to change my bootanimation screen. When I go to replace the current one in ES Explorer, it says the file cannot be replaced. I'm running SS Ultra. Anyone else have this problem, and know a solution without switching ROM's?

1. Make sure you have full root access under the settings
2. Don't delete the original boot animation, just toss something like .bak on the end just in case something goes screwy its still there.
Wouldn't let me delete mine either, but it did allow me to rename with ES. Don't ask me how or why, but if something CAN go wrong to me it WILL.

Extract, install, and enable. It will show in LG's themechooser as soon as you install them.
[EDIT] You can't install them if you don't extract the folder. Could that be your problem?

ES Explorer not working properly with Rooted Stock 4.4.4

I have been trying for a while now to get the APK for S-Note to install on stock 4.4.4 and fails every time I try. So online I found another way I could do this is to use root explorer thats in ES Explorer. The problem is the copying to anything on root fails even though the root option is enabled in ES Explorer and my phone is rooted. So my thought is that maybe the file explorer is messed up or something. I know the APK for S-note works because it worked prior to me going to stock from another customer rom. Any suggestions?
Did you mount system as rw?

I don't remember seeing that as an option. Where in the app do I do this?
Tap on root explorer, not the button, then you will see this screen:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
Go to mount r/w, then select rw for system
That worked, however I am getting a describe error. It says there is a problem parsing the package. I am not understanding why this APK does not work. The icon looks normal when its not in the system app folder. When its copied there I see the the android gremlin thing sitting in a box. This is extremely aggravating because I know this worked on 4.4.2 just fine.
