Push the Camera.apk to /system/app from the rom you are running.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I am not sure where to find system/apps... I searched the internal storage as well as the sd card :S

You'll either need to use adb or a root enabled file manager.
For file managers, I like ES File Explorer.
If you use that, you will need to tap the top left tab, to open the menu.
Then scroll down and enable Root, then tap that same root tab and enable R/W access to the file system.
Then you can access /system/
Or from a terminal, with device connected and in Recovery
Or in OS, with the system mounted, ES works here too, for mounting as R/W.
Then:
Code:
adb push Camera.apk /system/app/Camera.apk

I, i'm on HTC 10 stock ,and after nougat update ,camera is out of order : unable to start the camera.
Because on warranty I don't root the device.

You posted this in the m7 forum...
You'd probably get some answers and certainly more relevant responses in the HTC 10 Q&A section.

Hello I am using Xperia Arc with 2.3.4 rooted
I want to hide my camera application
before 2.3.4 update I used to hide camera app using smart bar(in application manager there is app called camera). It worked successfully
But after 2.3.4 upgrade there is additional app named Camera 3D along with default Camera . The problem is that Camera 3D is not visible in application manager of smart bar. So I cannot use above method to hide it. Is there any simple way to hide Camera 3d ?
I think following method might work. Please correct me if I am wrong as I am nob to this stuff !!
1)in the file manager I found there are 3 camera related apks in /system/app folder viz semcCamera3D.apk,semcCameraUI. apk,CameraExtentionPermission.apk
2)I think if I delete semcCamera3D.apk ,camera 3D will disappear permanently . I am correct ? Is it safe to remove semcCamera3D.apk?
3)adao file manager says I do not have permissions to delete files in /system/app . Even when my arc is rooted. Is there any free gui app like Root explore to delete such system apps?
Sounds like you're not rooted to me.. But why would you want to hide/ remove it anyway?!?? If you do then try using Titanium Backup to freeze it.

IF you are ROOT user,then thear up right corner is button "mount r/w, mount r/o"
Push "mount r/w" and you are abel to delete all what you want. But alway make before BACKUP to file what you want to delete.

So i just installed the new BM 5.0 and i was deleting unwanted apps via Titanium Backup pro .. i was doing it so fast that i accidentally deleted task manager! now everytime i click on the widget "Active Application" it fore closes! i tried to look for the stock task manager in the app store but could not find it! is there a way to undo the delete without doing a nandroid restore?
Use the feature in Titanium that can pull apks from cwm backups. You should be able to fix it with that.

1) Open TB
2) Go to Backup/Restore
3) Option soft key
4) More
5) Extract from Nandroid backup
6) Pick Task Manager
I personally tried it once and it didn't work for me, worst comes to worst I'll upload you the JobManager.apk (I assume that's the one you're talking about? The Samsung task manager?). But I assume it works, otherwise they wouldn't include the feature.

To install it, you'll need a file explorer with root access (ES File Explorer, ROOT File Explorer, etc.). Then you'll have to move it to /system/app (to get to /system you'll have to go one level up from /sdcard to get to the root folder /). Make the permissions read "rw- r-- r--" (how you do that depends on what file explorer you use) and then reboot. Should fix the issue.

I'm guessing you're doing it from your phone? Minus has a quirk with mobile sites. Download it from your computer or change your user agent to desktop.

It'll be an option in root explorer along the lines of "root access". I don't know the exact process because I use ES. Play around in the settings of root explorer until you find it. By default it's disabled to prevent users from actually screwing with their system operating system without knowing what they're doing.
did not find anything under settings but there was a button that said Mount R/O or Mount R/W ... so i selected the file to move then i went to system/app thrn i clicked the mount button on the top and it worked! Thank u so much for ur help and fast responds! u really saved mr from alot of grief.

Yeah it's the same thing, you're just allowing the system position to be written to. No problem. Is your task manager working as usual now?

Not sure. Android has a native task manager other than the Samsung one so that might have anything to do with it

Was it working fine when you first installed it? Either way, there's always 5 generic steps you should always take first when trying to resolve an issue:
1) clear application data
2) reboot to recovery and clear cache
3) clear dalvik cache
4) fix permissions
5) reboot
See if that fixes your issues

Hi All,
Complete Noob here, so please be gentle!
I have been trying to flash the aGPS patch, and it doesnt want to know (on any version) and I suspect it is due to the file system permissions being read only.
My question is, how do I change the permissions to allow files to be copied & renamed?
I have been using Astro with no joy.
I am on CM 7.2 RC1.
Thanks Bob

If you're flashing the zip from recovery, you may need to mount system first in the mounts & storage option of clockwork mod recovery.
If you are doing it via a file manager, there should be an option somewhere to enable root access and or enable system r/w, I use root explorer myself and its as simple as touching a button in the top right corner of the screen to enable r/w.

Thats great, thanks for your help. Got root explorer and sorted the gps.conf file in two minutes.

I am wondering if anyone else has noticed what I have come across. I use esf file explorer. In the past with custom ROMs you could easily direct into system/apps and delete or add which app you choose. But now it does not seem possible. You try to delete and at first it will confirm but the app will remain. On second attempt you will be prompt that this command has failed. Installing a new system app after giving permissions will give the same result.
I'm wondering if the developers have add some security so to stop us users altering there ROMs to suite yourself.
To me this is not open source any more and being given root access will need renamed to root browser. This isn't cool and is an obvious step in the direction of closed source.
I am currently trying renovate final 1.1. And Cyanogenmod on my nexus 7. Hopefully its jusr esf file explorers capabilities have renounced. But i suspect not. Are others having the same problem with custom ROMs.
Did you enable root acces in the settings of es file Explorer and also enabled the system partition as read and write ?

To gain access to system/apps you must enable root. Not sure what you mean by sytem partition as read and write. If its mount file system as read and write. Yes.
When you open es file Explorer and go to settings you enabled the root acces feature. But you you also need to enable the system partition to read and write
The picture is in Dutch .....But you need to enable the top 3 functions

Thx I'll try viperx. See if that's still open. I can tell you CyanogenMod and Renovate are not. At least not on my devices.
I backed up and then deleted my play store using titanium backup but when I went to restore it it wouldn't let me. So I tried to move it to system/apps using a few file explorers like root explorer,Es explorer and super manager but non of them let me put system folder into rw mode , and yes I did give all of them root rights. I also tried to use the adb command on the terminal with su rights but that did nothing, does anyone have any advice besides reseting my phone.i am also running Jedi mind trick x3(i know I need to update)

In ES, you have to go to 'Root Explorer' under 'Tools', then 'Mount R/W', then use the radio buttons to give it write permissions (given that you have root already).
