Can you provide more details? When you say "install system apps" do you mean directly copying to /system/app ? Or installing a system apk through the package installer? Is root access working correctly for any/other programs? What exactly are you trying to install?

It was the file manager I was using, got a new one and it is now working

Error flashing zip

How do I flash boot animation zip I go to recovery and flash but then says install aborted I'm using clockwork on evo
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
99% of the bootanimations are not flashable. You will need to move it in a certain folder depending in what base rom you are on. Which rom are you currently running.

Cm7 do I move it using my computer?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
You will need to use adb for using your computer, or a root file explorer using your phone. You will need to put the zip file in your /system/media folder and make sure it is named exactly "bootanimation.zip" for it to work. If you can't get it let me know and I will try and walk you thru it.

Any got a guide or know how to port keyboards? Please be as detailed as possible. Or if you know how maybe you can do it for me if you'd be so kind I'm trying to port the Motorola Photon keyboard.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Normally you can just use es file manager/root explorer, go into the system/apps, find the keyboard apk, then try to install it. Perhaps get a rom from that device and then extract the apk as well.
I've tried many times it says application not installed
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Please post that apk here. And I wi make it work for you. I assume it is LatinIME.apk, right?

here it is:

if you get it to work can you please tell me how you did it
Thanks
here try this
What I did was sign it. Should be able to install correctly now
Whether it works or not after its installed is another story...I did not test.
Is the photon leyboard much different than the gb keyboard? I'm curious.
Btw. after you download file, don't mess with it in anyway. That will break the signture.
Thanks ill try it and post results in a bit

Oh and yea it very differant I like it a lot its easier for me to type the shape is more squareish
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I tried it and it won't install.
Here is a list of what I did:
I tried installing unsigned
I tired adb install unsigned
Root explorer to put unsigned apk in system/app and I also signed it and tried all the above and no go
On adb it says something like user shared not compatible
And tried your signed apk and nope

If you have existing copy of LatinIME.apk in system/app, you need to delete it first. The signatures are different with the unsigned and signed version i posted. Please remove the apk in system/app, then try installing via adb again.

Long pressing in a text area didn't allow you to select it? Also go into settings > language and keyboards. and look for it there, as you might have to 'enable' it.
It force closes

Are you rooted and running a custom recovery? If so download that file(make note of where it at), boot into recovery ,go to install, and choose that file. Once it's done reboot and you should have ur browser in you're app drawer. If you're not rooted and running a custom recovery u will need a signed apk. to install normally.
