I'll typically just put the APK on my SD card... (Go to setttings turn on unknown sources) Then just click APK, and will give option to install it. (i do this with a few that i have stored.

Use root explorer to copy/ paste the apk into system/app...You will have to make the folder r/w using root explorer before you paste the app. Reboot...typically this works as long as the app is compatible with the phone.

Being last, I steal all the above thanks, =P
Though i prefer using es file explorer [free] > navigate to your storage [internal/external], then locate the apk > tap > install.
Just make sure 'unknown sources' in security is checked.

[Q] My phone won't mount as r/w. What do I do?

My phone won't mount as r/w in the root filesystem. I'm trying to install the S-Voice apk by putting it in /system/app, but it won't let me. How do I fix this?

Have you tried to reboot your phone? Are you rooted? What rom are you using?

Yes to the first two. And I'm running TDJ's darkside rom from 5.12.12 based on the T-Mobile leak. It worked yesterday, I don't know why it wouldn't now

Okay.. I had this same problem and I can understand your.frustration.. the way I got around was fresh.installation of the rom am using and tried installation again...ics is just a different piece of system compared to gingerbread.. so you have to he very careful when installing apps
. Restoring back etc..so try fresh.installation.

I got it to work. I placed the apk file in the app section and the lib file in the lib section. I fixed the permissions for the apk file to rw-r-r. Make sure to either delete the original samsung ime.apk and the accompanying odex file (or rename them to .bak) file then reboot.

Stock browser?

I used a app called root app delete to remove the stock android browser "internet". Was curious as to know if there is a app I can install? I don't want to use another web app. Would appreciate it.

I'm sorry guys. My girlfriend didn't back anything up and used a app called root app delete to delete her stock internet browser. She is rooted on 4.1.2 stock Rom. She doesn't want any 3rd party apps and I can't figure out why not save me the hassle and deal with chrome.
Anything would be great. Tried searching for a apk..
i think he wants the stock browser apk
You didn't search hard enough...

Well, technically chrome is not baked into this particular Rom. There are two points.
this is right from the stock rom out of system/app folder
Just follow that huge link I posted.

Are you odexed or deodexed? Because if you try to use the deodexed file on an odexed rom, you will get issues.
Permissions should be set to 644 or rw-r--r--.

Thank you, odex is what I needed. Went very smooth & had no issues what so ever.
Thanks to everyone who tuned and chimed in to give their two cents.
Very much appreciated.
Happy camper!
