Not development. Moved to Q&A.
Oops, sry, didn't realize I was in dev forum.

If you are rooted, you set permissions via root explorer. Open root explorer, go to that apk folder and press the button in the top right corner of the screen. It will probably say r/o. After you press it, it should change to r/w.
I'm rooted, but no root explorer. Any other way?

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
No, but seriously it's like $4...thats less than 1/50th the price of this phone on contract, and you can use it with whatever phone you get next.
Yaffs explorer, super manager are both free root explorers..

What rom are you using?
You also have to rename the boot animation to what the old one was before you deleted it and change the permissions.

Im on the mik 2.59
I deleted what i thought was the animation but when i rebooted it still was there...i have no clue where toook i guess...and change permissions?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It may be in a different place on your rom, but on the rom im using, the boot animation is in system/customize/resource. Use root explorer to find it. Make sure you press the "Mount R/W" button at the top and change it to say "Mount R/O" so that way it will let you change permissions and stuff. Delete old boot animation rename yours to whatever the old one was, for example "bootanimation.zip" or htc_bootanimation.zip" After that, long press on your boot animation file and then press "permissions". Change to where it looks like this "rw-r--r--" In other words have "owner, group, and others" all checked on the "read" column. Then check mark "owner" again under the "write" column. That's all that needs to be check marked, uncheck everything else.

I just downloaded es explorer and couldn't find the "system" folder. You may need to download root explorer.

Need help again

When I try to install an apk it says I have to clear my memory space but I have 22 gbs left please help me asap

Re: Need help
1.) Are you on a ROM? Which ROM?
2.) What app? Is it one app or all apps causing this issue?
3.) So you have the 32gb sgs3?
4.) Have you done any mods that mess with your storage?

Re: Need help
I'm guessing you're rooted? Apps like Titanium Backup or Adaway may cause this issue. Go into any root browser app and in the root directory go into /data/app/ and delete any .odex files you may see and then reboot the phone. That should fix the issue.

There isn't any of those folders it's not working
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
There are always /data/app and /system/app folders in the root directory of your ROM so make sure to use a root browser to view them and first go into /data/app/ and look for any. odex files and delete them. That usually does fix the problem you're having.

Here's a screenshot example of what you should be looking for and deleting. My Battery Reborn apk has an odex file attached to it

There's no folder data/app there's system /app but closes when I open
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
The only way you'll only see /system/app is if you're looking in the rom.zip file. You must already be on the ROM you're having issues with and then you MUST see /data/app because that is where all your user installed apps are located. So 1)Flash the ROM you're having app issues with and 2) Install and open any root browser like the one in Rom Toolbox and you'll see /data/app.

OP, buy the app. Stop using app license generators. That will fix the problem.

Pushing a apk

I'm trying to push a apk with root explorer. Once I get to install it says app not installed. I changed R/W to R/O like I'm suppose to. And when I install the apk I go to system/app and I copy and paste. Any suggestions would be helpful thanks.

Use root explorer, works better. When you have pushed the apk to the correct location press and hold on the apk until a list comes up, click permission, then change it. It should look like this

It says unable to install or something else? Are you just clicking on the apk to install it or are you actually moving the apk to system/app then setting permissions?

I moved it to system/app and pressed it (not long pressed it) to install. Gives you 3 options, cancel, view and install.
