Check the permissions for vending.apk in system/app, it should be the same as other files in the directory.

Question...can I open a rar file on my phone? I tried renaming it to a zip but when I extracted it there was nothing in the file
You should be able to with most file manager apps like astro or androzip.
Astro has the option but rarely works for me... maybe it's just my phone XD
That happened to me once. But on my nexus and I was playing around with ninja morph. Anywho I was running cm so I just reflashed it without wiping or anything with the same rom I was using and it put the browser back for me and didn't messing with the settings or apps. Maybe you could give that a try if worst comes to worse. Just if you have a theme you will prolly have to reflash the theme also. Hope you get it working though!

I'm trying to drop the files using Root Explorer, but it says it is read only. What do I need to do?

When you have the app open there should be a button at the top that say RW hit that then you should be ok

If I long press on the files I get an option for permissions. I can then select read-write options and then ok. But when I go back into permissions, they have reverted to their original state.
EDIT: Ok, I finally saw what you meant and installed the files, but no app in app drawer. I have rebooted just to be sure.
Go to were the browser Is downloaded to and longpress then select copy. Then navigate to /system and at the top of the screen toggle the button that says R/O to R/W, then select app dir and hit menu then paste.

It's dependent on the sony framework as it's preinstalled, push the .apk to /system/app/ and it will work again

You can just copy and paste it to /system/app. Using a file explorer, but you must set the right permissions afterwards, or if you have a pc, you can use adb, just to push the .apk

when you say "push the .apk" do you basically mean move the downloaded .apk-file to /system/app then install it from there or what?

No push is a command used by adb, so you would use the command "adb push xxxx.apk /system/app" and that would move the apk to that location, you dont need to install apps to /system/ just copy them there

you need to put it in your system/App folder using root explorer and set permissions, it can't be installed using a package installer
I've tried this method on my GS2 with the provided file and I just can't get it to work. It did work with the MicrobesGl live wallpaper though.
Hello,
You can generate a CWM script to install all share and other apps here:

Did you set the right permissions?

I deleted the DigitalClock widget by accident. I know there's plenty in market, but I liked the stock one. Anyway, I have the .apk, moved the .apk to /system/app with Root Explorer and changed the permissions (now it's rw-r--r--). But still, when trying to install, the message "Application not installed" appears.

when the app is moved into the system/app folder it is then installed, no need running the .apk through a package installer because youll just get the "Application not installed" error, this is because your trying to install a system app which is what the apk is and not a standard installable app.
once moved into the system/app folder and permissions set, check your widgets if not there do a reboot then check again, if its still not there then your doing something wrong or setting the wrong permissions.
If it's not installing, could it be because it's a Samsung app? For example the stock camera, phone and messaging apps just won't install when I'm on CM7. So I'm assuming the same is true for Allshare, though I may be wrong.

Thanks, tried all but the widget won't appear on the list. I guess something is wrong with the .apk then.

Samsung apps will only work on Samsung ROMs unless modded to work on ALL Android devices just like any other app specific to any other ROM
The app in this thread is odexed and for thus wont work with most ROMs as these are deodexed.

Tab 2 7.0 no file copy
I took down the Dnla.zip, renamed it to Dnla.apk and moved it to my Tab 2 7.0. Then I used ES File and tried to move it to Root/System /App but it fails. I understand I need to change permissions for this. How do I accomplish this without rooting the device?

You have to reflash the rom. You cannot delete and re-add system apps such as settings
When you move it into your system file, you have to change permission to rw-r-r then reboot the phone.

How do I change the perms to rw-r-r ? When I try editing the perms of /system/app/ folder using ES Root Explorer (root permission granted) it says operation failed. I cannot even move this APK from sdcard to /system/app/ folder, says permission denied.
What do you suggest?

Root permission is not granted to your file explorer.
Press the menu button while on es file explorer.
Then in tools set root explorer to "on".
You must be asked to grant superuser acces. Grant it
You are done !!!

It is granted mate, see this: http://i.imgur.com/3DEgtRi.png
Root Explorer is turned on as well.
Try this..
1. Copy the apk and paste it into /system/app -- you'll need to press the button on the top right that says "Mount R/W".
2. Long-press on the newly pasted apk file and select Permissions.
3. Change the permissions to User: Read - Write, Group: Read, Others: Read
4. When you click Okay, you should see "rw-r--r--" in the fine print under the apk name.
5. Click the Mount R/O button, then reboot.

See if other apps are granted super user permission.
If not try changing your superSu to superuser by CM.
If notthing works, you can flash it if you have a custom recovery like CWM.
