Hi.
I have a problem with stock .587 rooted ROM. When I move some apps to the /system/app directory, they appear then instantly in app drawer, but after reboot there aren't there (apk files are still in /system/app directory). I can't install them as normal apps.
For example i used this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230036
Why does it happen?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my english

im using damage control 3.2.3 with a custom kernel for damage control 3.7.1, thanks!
Leave them on your sd card and then try installing them using your file explorer.

when pusing them to /system/app with root explorer you have to change the permissions of each app you copy over (hold select the app and choose change permissions) i just check off all of the permissions thingys
when pushing through adb it does that automatically
hope that helps
the default ones are all can read and user can write plus read
Thread moved to Q&A.
yea i checked all the permissions and used adb before and still not showing up, lol really frustrating
any ideas guys, really miss friendstream lol
An easy way to fix permissions is through ROM manager.
Download it in the market and select fix apk permissions.
That might do the trick..
Don't forget to reboot.
yea tried that doesnt work, really weird
Very strange, did you try an adb install? Rather than push..
Could someone post the allshare app that comes with the galaxy s2 on here? I just flashed a miui rom but no longer have allshare.
Thanks in advance
Hope this helps
Thanx man...

I copied the file "Dina.apk" to my Epic 4g touch but it won't install. It goes through the motions then says, "Application not installed".

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.

Keeps telling I can't copy to the folder because it is read only....
imediashare from play store is much better than all share, has built in HD channels and can show your youtube and facebook vids/photo/music

Thanks for this apk mate
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?

Hi...
I am a total noob at development.....I have just downloaded a ROM from the development forums.....I was wondering if there is a way to install another launcher ...( i want to install ilauncher)......
what is the way and how can I do it ???
I have downloaded the ilauncher.apk from market....
what to do next ???
do I install it like any other application or I need to do something else ??
any help will be appreciated...
thanxxx
Usually it should be the normal procedure. After downloaded and install from Play Store, press home button and it should prompt for which launcher to use and option to make default launcher.

you could use root explorer , mount r/w and remove the launcher apk from system/app, thus removing it from the system, wehn i used to change launchers in cm7 i did this so i would prevent any confictions with the other launcher, also move the launcher apk to the system/app

True but may i add, you need to move the apk to system/app then installing it before removing default launcher.

Hello!
I've just rooted my arc and I'm currently using ICS 4.0.4. As in gingerbread I have installed root uninstaller to remove my "favorite" bloatware and I cannot uninstall these apps:
Let's Golf!
Playnow
Chinese keyboard
And some more
It really don't understand the problem because these apps are not in /system/app (and they are working)!
Edit: these apps are in /system/vendor/app in read-only mode :/
Thanks for your help!
I have the same problem dude and it sucks can somebody help

I used Root Explorer to go to /system/vendor/app, chose 'mount R/W' on the top and removed those apps without any problem.

In my system folder there is no subdirectory /vendor/app...
Maybe I have to download root explorer - paid version?
system/app
You can also try using system cleanup app free on the play store.

Use Titanium Backup.
with titanium backup you can uninstall it easy.
so far, no app I can't uninstall using titanium backup.
the function is not just uninstalling but you can also backup app.
very good app. have a try
you can't do so i have been trying from 2 days unable to delete some apps even they are not showing in the titanium either root explorer.
I rooted my phone following this thread for 4.04 successfully, but I accidentally deleted the system clock app while trying to get rid of the bloatwares. (I think it's called clock 1.0 in root uninstaller)
I checked the system/app folder and I have a file called "clockPackage,odex", but I don't have the "clockPackage.apk" file. Is that the file I need to get the default system clock app back? If yes can someone please upload it for me? otherwise what do I need to do to get it back?
Thanks in advance!
Just open up the rom you have wherever its saved extract the clock.apk. Then copy and paste it to system/app with the same permissions as the other apps r-w-r-r or 644 and root. Then reboot when it boots back up go to app drawer and you will see the clock app again.

thanks for the reply! sorry for my noobiness, but which file is the rom and how do I extract it? I looked through the unzipped files I used for rooting and didn't find any apk files
If you are rooted get root explorer to open the zipped rom then extract it to sd card then copy and paste like i said.

took a while for me to find the right rom haha, but I solved the problem, thank you so much!
