To install you need a root explorer app
Then you copy both files to the system/app folder...
Fix permissions and see what happens...
Make sure you make a back up just in case it breaks something...

Im having trouble unlocking my bootloader. I probably shouldnt try this until it's unlocked and I get a custom recovery right?

Yeah. I wouldn't do anything until you unlock and have twrp and make a backup. Have you tried the freegee app?

I don't think anyone's experienced a hard brick from free gee. But anything you do is at your own risk obviously. There are a lot of helpful people here and on the optimus g IRC so chances are whatever you do can be fixed. In any case good luck.

lgnpst in the worst case scenario.
just make sure you have a good backup though and that frequently does the trick.

Well I copied them into my system/app folder, fixed permissions, and nothing. Also tried deleting the JB camera and doing the same process to install the LG pro camera and nothing. Haven't tried it on a stock rom though. I'm on beanstalk currently.

Ok I'm rooted and stock. I'm using Titanium backup to backup all my apps. But I want to restore all my apps on a new phone that is not rooted so cant use Titanium backup. What app can I use that does not need root to restore my backup?
I'm not aware of any app that can restore a backup made with titanium, other than titanium of course.
If you want to make a new backup there may be something in the play store that doesn't require root. Not sure of anything specific though.

Yeah I'm not trying to use the titanium backup. I just need an app that doesn't need root. I would use that to make a new backup and restore that backup on the new phone.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Either Rooted or Custom Recovery, are the only ways that I know of. Why not root the new phone? You could always "Unroot" it after you have restored everything.
The new phone is the HTC one. I'm reading way too many issues with it after people root and sometimes on stock. So if my phone has problems I don't want to spend time unrooting to send out back.

you could use ADB but its more of a pain than any other method, heres a link to an .exe for that will do it for you (NO-ROOT) http://lifehacker.com/5976036/simpl...droid-phone-from-the-desktop-no-root-required windows

Hey all, looking to make my phone stockish again and I have TWRP installed and want to get the CWM reinstalled to restore my original backup. I've already done everything though FreeGee ect, and tried to reinstall CWM through that but it was a no go. Can anyone point me to an .img file for CWM that will work with E980, I saw one for E988 but wasn't sure it it would work. Thanks for any help!
Just use freegee.

Use a backup to restore to stock and switch back.

Is this option going to relock my boot loader? I'm on my stock ROM (not a custom stock ROM, the ROM straight from LG). I can't get LGNPST to connect to my computer (running windows 8). My phone randomly loses internet connection (started when I flashed a 4.4 ROM) even though it says I have full bars on LTE. Tried restoring my EFS from before I began flashing, however that didn't work.

Also, I saw that one of the FAQ (according to shellnut on his post about releasing freegee for the OGPro) was how to uninstall this. He answered "restore with backups" so...I'm assuming that means as long as I'm on the LG factory ROM and use the restore with backups, I'll be relocked and won't run into the LG Security error like I would on a custom ROM.
**EDIT**
from what I understand, restoring with backups will relock the boot loader without wiping the ROM (which is why restoring with backups gives you the security error when doing it on a custom ROM) so...I'll be fine with doing it on the LG stock ROM. Right? I know I'm kind of answering my own questions but it helps to hear it from someone else. I'm currently waiting on a reply from shellnutt.

I think I gave an answer in another thread about FreeGee and how it works.
When you use FreeGee it doesn't just backup your EFS it backs up the boot and two other parts. FreeGee is a dumb app meaning that it always assumes you are restoring to the same ROM. So if you are on ZVB and run FreeGee then move to ZVC and do a restore it can crash your phone. If all you want is to restore your EFS then hit this link for details. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38348745&postcount=1

I'm on zvc and was on zvc before unlocking so it backed up my zvc boot stuff. I restored my efs already that's fine. I'm just trying to relock the bootloader and just stay on LGs Stock ROM.

I have no idea nor have I heard of it and no-one here or anywhere can tell you it will. If you want wait for a better answer or until I can look it up.
Look in here for more info but it doesn't cover unrooting/re-locking http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050582
I will tell you that there is a chance of an unbootable phone if you have removed any bloatware and then re-lock the phone.
If you want to be safe then just LGPNST back to stock. You'll have to reinstall everything but that is always the safest.
Yeah I removed bloatware but I don't remember which ones I did besides the file manager.
Never mind, I have them all still. Only one I didn't have was File Manager but that was reinstalled with the Application Manager.
Trust me, if I could LGNPST I would, but for some reason it won't recognize my phone. I need the windows 8 drivers I think but even then, I was told theres some weird process you have to go through in order to get it to work on windows 8

I've read that you only get the security error when you uninstall one of the GApps. Is that true or is it with all preinstalled apps?

More questions? lol LG apps will do it too. If you don't unlock your bootloader, you'll become really good friends with LGNPST, if you uninstall an app LG wants. Sucks I know, but unlocking isn't that bad. The safest way to unlock? Just LGNPST teeny bins. I haven't heard of any issues with it. But s#*t happens.
I want to LGNPST but alas, LGNPST hates my phone. I checked compared to my moms LGOG, I'm not missing any apps so I should be good with the freegee relock I guess. I hope so.
