after i installed the latest version of my rom (infamous 2.8.5) i noticed it didnt have touchwiz launcher so i installed it from an apk i found here.
the only problem im having with it is there are certain widgets that i cant add to the homescreen.
every time i try it tells me 'not installed with permission to add binding widgets' (not verbatim)
i tried to install widgets from the play store they dont work either..i mostly tried clock widgets
any suggestions?
thanks.
Infamous should have touchwiz I would try re downloading the rom and reflashing could have been a bad download

the older version 2.7.1 had tw the update didnt so i installed it from the apk
Have you tried pushing into system? If you want a simple way of convert an apk into a system file, long press it in titanium, choose "convert into system file ". Older versions of apex use to have this problem. Pushing it into system solves it.

You can copy paste into system/apps and fix permissions then reboot. Just change them to the same as all the other apk's in the folder. But if it says donation version needed, I don't think I'll work

I tried installing and copying over 10 different Vending.apk's to /system/app folder and none work!
A few older versions of markets(before WP7 look) installed and i could open them and browse apps but as soon as i push on the app button in market,try to install app or do anything else the market would crash.
I removed usual amount of unneeded apk's from /system/app folder,is there any apk's that require the market to work or it doesn't work period?
I noticed there was 4 or 5 Terminal.apk's in /system/app folder and i removed them are they needed for market to function or is it something else?I only removed the things i always remove besides Terminal.apk's.
Its a shame because other than market not working its a solid rom.

The new market posted works fine for me on EG22.
Don't think your problem is the vending.apk. You either removed somthing you shouldn't have or the version of ROM you are using has something broken in it. "Stock" odexed EG22 has no problems with the market.
I had no problem with the market in the stock deodexed rom either but I upgraded to the new market and am using it with no issues.

You probably right,time to put back some apk's and see which one is needed for market.
Did you try clearing data in the market app?
Please post the answer if you figure it out. I'm having the same problem.
Have you tried fixing permissions followed by a reboot after pushing the apk?

You are not supposed to install the application, just copy and paste, then change permissions, and reboot and you will be able to use the widget.

Sounds like he isn't installing it but in fact doing it the way you suggest. OP, have you tried changing owner to root (both settings)?
Root explorer: long press app in system/app -> scroll down to change owner-> change both to root -> reboot.

never thought about that just changed them to root,
set permissions, reboot, but still not showing.
Also, fixing permissions in CWM should do this for you ...
The other thing, What is the widget, from what phone/ROM , know you said Stock weather, but if it is stock GB weather,
I am sure it relies on the GB TW-framework for the TWlaucher as the stock widget from samsung phones is a TW widget .....
Some widgets rely on framework or launcher items, and may not work on every phone/launcher ...

I'm on Juggs 5.0 and I tried pushing a themed version of the Samsung keyboard app (AxT9IME.apk) into my phone but it would not install. I tried pushing the stock one back but it would not install either. The apk file is present in my system/app folder but it just doesn't run or shows up on application settings or TB. I had a backup on TB but when I tried to restore the app TB just freezes as is restoring the app. WTF! I've tried using a apk manager to install it and nothing. I've tried wiping cache, dalvik, and fixing permissions then rebooting and nothing.Running out of ideas on what to do. Help please cuz that's hands down the best keyboard IMHO. Thx ahead.

Change the current keyboard to something like keyboard.apko
Then push the new one using rootexp change the permission to rw-r-r then reboot. It should install automatically if not press install then reboot the phone.

well make sure you're not grabbing an odex file of it. Because its misleading if you're just pushing apk without knowing its a deodex one. If anyone get that?

The apks I used to try to reinstall the Samsung keyboard were from the Juggs Rom itself and from two other themes made for Juggs 5.0 (Kobalt and Bad Blue) so yeah they should of worked but all three fail to install. Its something from my phone. I think I'm missing a app that the keyboard depends on but I'm not sure. Thx anyways homie

Check and see if you have samsungkeypad.apk too.. or something like that

K...Im not sure what you mean...when you view the Samsung keyboard app via a app manager lets say thru Titanium Backup it is labeled Samsung Keypad 2.3.5 but the actual apk file is labeled AxT9IME.apk just like the Android keyboard app's apk file is labeled latinIME.apk...There is no Samsungkeypad.apk.
The apk file IS present in my System/App folder but its not installed nor it installs when I try to do it. I know I done did something cuz I had it working and then one day when I wanted to type something I noticed the Android keyboard was showing and when I try to edit the input method the Samsung keypad was missing. I don't know WTF I did.
Is there a way to get the stock Jellybean launcher on Codenameandroid ROM. I find the stock launcher to still be the smoothest, and i dont really feel like i need any additional Launcher features.
grab Launcher2.apk from /system/app from a stock rom. push it to your device. mount /system readwrite, copy Launcher2.apk to /system/app. reboot, done.

there's no need to install it. that's what you've done when you pushed the file over to /system/app.

What are the permissions to be set at? I pushed this and the stock file manager to system apps, fixed permissions via recovery, but neither work. When I use Root Explorer to check the apks they show different permissions from all the other system apps. MusicPlayer and SecNoteMyFiles show rwxrwxr-x while the other apks show rw-r-r-- I guess I need to manually change them?
EDIT - Actually what happens is they don't show in the app drawer, so I tried to install them from the system app folder, but I keep getting an error "Application not installed".

No go for me. They just don't want to work. I don't know why. I was on the stock ROM via ODIN. Everything worked. I pulled five apks from the system app folder. Three of them work, but the MusicPlayer and FileManager don't. I tried them both ways. I left the permissions as is, rebooted, and nothing. I did what you said, and still nothing. Got me. I'm running Jedi Mind Trick JB 3.

First I want to thank you, and say sorry for making you help me so much, as I'm now realizing it would have worked if I just used your version from the beginning. I've been trying to get the one I pulled from my stock ROM when I was running it. It seems my APK is not the right one. Yours worked the very first time. It's also bigger than mine by about a MB. Where did you pull it from? I pulled mine directly from the system/app folder.
Also since mine didn't work for this, or my File Manager APK, would it be possible for you to share that too? Or tell me where to get it? Thanks again.
