Hi,
I recently moved the pre-installed Flash Player (10.2) app from /system/app to /data/app. Since then, its icon is no longer visible in the app drawer. I moved it back to its default location, restarted phone but the icon is still missing. Any idea about how to get it back ?
I'd just delete/uninstall it and download again from play store

Most likely a n00b problem here, but when I try to select my custom icons from Launcher pro, my icons don't show up in the Gallery. They're saved correctly as png, but for some reason they don't show up anywhere in the gallery. I tried clearing the defaults in Settings/Applications so I can try to select my icon from one of my file explorers but I wasn't able to. I even tried uninstalling Gallery, but then I got a message to the effect of "There are no photos on your phone."
Am I supposed to be selecting the icons in different way?
Got it working: I reinstalled the Gallery app and now it sees my .png files. Idk if it was the reinstallation or maybe it was that it didn't rescan the SD card after I downloaded and extracted my icon pack.
I'm running Calkins deodexed ICS Fd02 ROM and I'm trying to install a transparent google search bar and transparent face book widget for my home page. I have root explorer and ES file pro and i can push the app into the system folder but when i try to install it in the system folder it starts to install but then at the ends it says did not install. Can someone help me out with this? When i overwrote the google quick search box apk it disappeared from the widgets tray. Now i have no google search bar widget at all and i really don't wanna do a restore over that. Help its personal now. I've al ready made the permissions the same. Maybe there's a way to push it with CWM?

Google search is a part of google framework service. So, clear the data/cache for both apps after you place the google search app into /system/app folder. Reboot your phone. Once after you place the google search app into /system/app folder, you need to check the permission is same as other apps in /system/app folder.
When you push a system app, you don't need to install it, just set the permissions right and reboot. Did you use a deodexed apk?

Well that doesn't work. Permissions are set right. I've rebooted. Just doesn't show up in the widgets tray or in the system applications list. Its in the system/app folder but its like its not installed on the system. I've cleared all the cashes several times and rebooted several times. Is there any way to flash it or manually install it?
I have a few apps like facebook google plus and google maps which are by default installed in XperiaS.
I am rooted stock ics. 45 build.
Can I remove or delete the applications from system/app cause any problems?
And I want to install them from playstore if I need them.
So anyone tell me which.directory does the app we install from playstore are installed so that i.can move apps from sys/app in that folder..
Yes you can and yes, you can easily uninstall/move them.
Use root explorer to move the app/apk that you not want to move from System/app to your SD Card Folder.
Just make sure not to delete or move any system apk, that is required to run the OS.

So auni already told you you can remove apps like Facebook, G+ and Gmaps easily from /system/app. If you want the app back as a "normal" app, you can:
- copy those apps to /data/app, I'd go with one of the following options though
- copy those apps to your external storage and install them like you would any other app (so once you copied the app outside of /system, press it and a dialog will open)
- delete those apps and install them from Play Store.
Hi,
I've just recently rooted given the new maintenance updates with Xperia S, and whilst I was cleaning out the bloatware, I accidentally uninstalled the default Movies program (the red film icon).
Was wondering how I could reinstall it as it is quite inconvenient without it.
I tried looking for the default apk file, but when I go into the system folder, I don't see an "Apps" folder.
Cheers.

Try to install like normal .apk
Or
1. Use rootexplorer
2. Copy apk to system/app
3. Set perm to rw-r--r--
4. Restart
Hello, I'm trying to move mostly updated versions of system apps from data to system to free some space on data (can't install that hearthstone goddammit) so I tried to move stuff like new facebook and other updated system apps. Also stuff like keyboard or messenger. I tried using lucky patcher as well as moving it manually with root explorer, and I can move it just fine, but as soon as I reboot, folders of apps I moved get deleted. I'm on rooted Android 6.0.1 if it's of any help. Any ideas?
Did you adjusted the permission for the moved apps to -rw-r--r-- and place them in a folder where the folder name is the app name?
