Have you set it to rw?

Try wiping data for the file app you're using, in superuser delete the file app from being remembered. Return to file app (should have to allow su) and try again.

init.d folder is located in /system/etc are you sure /system partition is mounted with su permissions? And that its mounted as read write? What are you using to change the permissions exactly? Id recommend a terminal emulator or adb.

Are you rooted? Dumb question i know but youd be surprised xD
Which system?
Easy fix: Settings and go down to Root Explorer and Mount File System. Make sure both are checked

Grant root permissions to your file explorer and Mount system. These can be enabled in the settings of your file manager.

Open the zip file, and then delete it in there before you flash it over.

Um that isn't going to brick you. Especially since you're talking about system app. Worst thing to happen would be a reboot if you touched an app which was currently running.
But I've been using root explorer and it works great. Or if the file is on my computer I use adb push. Or even a flashable zip if you really are worried.

I used a file browser app and installed it over the existing one. Every time after that I was getting an error something .goo not responding. (SecPhone.apk) Trying to restor the call recording feature. I ended up doing a restore back to square one. No if I use root-explorer will it make a difference or should I use dab push? I would not know how to begging with that. could I use terminal and instal like I would if I was using the cwmtr.img install directions. but direct it to system/app?

Which file browser app did you use? Did you remember to set the permissions for the newly copied apk? Permissions in /system/app should be rw-r--r

No I did not set permissions. If I use Root-Explorer will that allow me to set permissions? I used Smanager to move the file.
Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V
Can I use RootExplorer to zip file them flash it? Or just move using RE?

Yes, Root Explorer will allow you to change permissions as long as you aare rooted.

Root Explorer is a file manager, use to move the file to the appropriate folder and set permissions and reboot. I know you can create a zip & tar file, don't know if it would be flashable though.

Smanager isn't a good file system tool. Try root browser lite tap and hold functioning is perfect. Has options for copy paste and permissions

I am using Frosty JB v6. I asked in the developer thread and I got a reply http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874063&page=546
I tried using RootExplorer and I was still getting error messages after be booting. Is there a way to make it flash able? What am I doing wrong or is it just never going to work? Do I need to start looking for a rom that has it functional on the build?
Did you reset permissions to match the rest of the files in the folder?
And you probably need to wipe dalvik and cache in recovery.

Use root browser lite, you can get it from the market it's a freeware then copy the app you want to system/app ....no permission stuff needed

Please know what you're talking about first before posting suggestions. Especially when it pertains to system directory permissions. System/app directory uses rw-r--r-- as the permissions. Meaning owner has read write permissions while everyone else only has read. Not setting permissions correctly can lead to many many many issues.

I vote for a rom that has it and works where you don't need to mod stuff, yet. Learn all this stuff with something you don't need, like a sound mod (DSP) or something.

Okay, so simply just replace the .apk file in the system/app directory using es file manager or something like that at setting permissions..
But how and where do I set the permission?

Hold the file u want to set and pick set permission.. that's in root explorer. Dunno bout es..
U can set permission via adb shell or terminal emulator by using chmod command. Useful when u need to change multiple files (in one folder)
