Hi, anyone knows how to push apk app taken out from system into our note 2?
I found the lost screen recorder apk in one of the system dump.zip after extracting it, I tried moving it into system/app and changing permission and installing is still not successful!
Am I doing it wrong? How then will be the right way to do it? please advise? Thx in advance... Really love to have screen recorder function as advertised by samsung
Normally you would push to /system/app make sure permissions were correct and then reboot, you do not need to 'install' it.
but you might need an ODEX file as well as the APK
Reboot
Hi, ok so just place the apk plus it's odex files in system/app , change permission and reboot it will be install correctly? :laugh:
Hi, I did just as you mentioned.. Reboot still screen recorder remains not install tried to install it then ... No luck still...
its highly likely that there are other files that the apk needs in order to work, can you upload the files you have?

Hello,
I found today a version of the default htc_ime with included cyrillic(bulgarian) language in it and tried to install it. The guide said to replace the .apk file in /system/app. I did that, restarted the phone and now the Touch Input method is missing in the options and missing when i try to change the input method.
Before replacing the file I kept a copy of the original on the sdcard. When things went wrong i copied my original file back to /system/app and restarted, but the problem remains. Still I don't have the Touch Input (htc_ime) keyboard present.
What else could go wrong when copying that file, what else could have changed, and how can I restore it ?
Yes I know i should have done a nandroid backup before doing that, but just thought nothing can go wrong, silly me ..
Did you change the permissions via chmod to 640 / rw-r-r ?
If not this could be the Problem...
This could be the problem. The other files in /system/app as seen in root explorer have permissions rw-r--r--, but the file I have copied has ---rwxr-x. My original file also has these, so i guess they are changed when I copied it through adb shell. I will change them when I get home and post an update of the situation.
You should be able to change the permissions from within RootExplorer.
Yes it worked. I changed the permissions through root explorer. I have the default keyboard again. Thank you, you are a life saver.

Use rootexplorer or a similar file manager to place the .apk in the correct folder - probably system/app. Make sure the permissions are set to rw-r--r--. Reboot.
I think I should use Yaffs Explorer as its free.
Root Explorer is not free right?
Can anyone tell me what is the "i-pocket detection"?
in pocket detection is a proximity sensor that will detect that the phone is in pocket and then turn off the display and lock the phone. It works if the phone is put on the vertical position inside the phone. Hence it uses the gravity sensor and the proximity sensors to do that job.
But I am unable to install it in CM 7.1.0.
Does any one know how to install it ?
I tried to change chmod 644 for that in the apps folder still no luck
tries the appinstaller to install, but still no luck. It says application not installed.
Hey guys, I just installed VeNuM's new ROM version, but I can't install the removed apk's. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Push them to the /system/apps folder and reboot
I use root explorer to do this

That didn't work. Maybe I'm not reading it right. Could you expand for a newbie?
Which apps are you trying to install?

You need to set the permissions too... after copying the apk to system/apps long click it and go to permissions and then set too: read/owner on, Group on, others on. Then Write/owner on (turning on by clicking the corresponding box). All the other boxes will be empty. Hit OK. This will make sense when you do it... Reboot phone... You should be good to go...
VeNum ROM Question
Again, sorry for being such a Noob here, but I really like this ROM and desparately want to use it.
So, you said to extract the APKs to the "system/app" folder. I didn't see it a "system or a App" folder, or I'm not in the right place. I am viewing the files structure via Root Explorer on my phone.
Thanks for the patience and the help.
All the basic Epic Touch apks. Weather, clock, gmail, etc.
Permissions
Ok, I found the files, placed the apks where you said to, changed the permissions as instructed, but the apk still will not install.
I'm trying to install the Samsung Weather apk. Some will install, but most of the original system apks won't.
Any clue?
I made a rom with bloat removed and some of my useful app into /system/app, after flashing the zip phone boots to OS but
i dont see my apps installed into system, also the airplane mode toggle is also missing from power menu.
I trying to flash stock GB rom.
when i look into system/app using root explorer i can see my apps there with proper permission but they are not installed
What can be the problem?
Are the APK files well-signed ?
Try to install them manually directly from the /system/app folder.
Hope I helped.
Cheers.

I figured it out my self, those .apk files were having space in their name and so they didnt install in /system/app.
Great !
Hi there,
I accidentally deleted the video stock app from my phone after rooting and did not have a back up of it. Now when i play recorded videos from the gallery, I don't have a player to play it!
Can anyone please give me a link to the stock APK?
Thank you! Much appreciated!

Here you go..
Hi thank you. I tried to install it, with a root Explorer too... Thing is after doing so it doesn't work probably because I didn't do it correctly.
Could someone tell me how to install it correctly?
Been a year since I've been into android hacking stuff ^. ^
Extract the folder and place into your /system/priv-app folder and set the correct permissions and reboot. You can check the right permissions by looking at the permissions of other folders and files in /system/priv-app directory.

Is the arm64 folder supposed to be placed somewhere different or in the priv-app folder with the apk?
Because I put everything where it was supposed to be and set the permissions correctly for the folder and apk and still when I restart "unfortunately video has stopped working
