I don't remember Better Battery Stats ever being a zip?
It should be an apk or you can install from Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en
Or download the APK from his XDA thread:

The problem is it doesn't Install as system so it requires a flash of zip to make system app.

So just use Root Explorer to copy the apk to the same location as your system apps. And make sure to check permissions.

Never mind I enrolled in beta program and he's testing a systemless root one.

[Q] How to install apps at cwm?

How to install apps at cwm?
When I install new rom, I have some apps to install, but I should install file utility app first.
if possible, please let me know how to install apps at cwm.
Thanks in advance.
Well gapps is exactly the same as installing the rom, if it a general app then why would you do it through cwm? If its on your SD then download a file manager and install through there, make sure you have unknown sources checked in settings as well

you mean flashable zip? just choose "install zip from sd card" like you choose zip for ROM
Are you trying to say each time you flash a Rom you want an automatic way of installing your applications after?
You could just make an 'update.zip' that contain your applications.

if you want your app included in your rom.
you can extract the rom.
and pick your app to "system/app/" after that zip your rom like before.
and then flash the zip via CWM.

Does your comment mean simply making apps into zip file?
app1, app2, app3, .. -> 7zip -> apps.zip

Just like this?

A simple way to create an update.zip is with e.g.: Titanium BackUp. It has an option for it. Just pick all apps you want and it creates a flashable zip file.

edit: I just realized I gave you "false info", TB only creates update.zip, which only contains Titanium BackUp app... sooory...

Yes, manually delete the files that the update.zip installed, of course you would then have to replace the originals if it replaced any. Best thing is to create a backup before installing.

Or just install any backup app from market like (my backup) and backup your apps. then just restore backup you made when flash new rom.

So basically I have to reinstall the ROM because I had no backup :crying:
Well thanks anyway!
There is an app in Play Store named "App2Zip". Try it!

how do you install the 4.2 camera/gallery?

I have the apk.

I would think youd just put it on your sdcard, find it with a file explorer app that you can download through the market, and install the cam/gallery apk ?

Google play

I lost Google play on my one v and upon checking the system apps i no longer see the odex phonesky.odex file. Can I just download any rom and grab the odex file from that rom to make it work? what permission do i set it?
any other way to fix this?
thanks
btw can anyone upload the odex file i cant seem to find any downloadable one
Are you rooted?
What rom are you running?

Just install the apk as normal app - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933277
restoring an odex will not help as the play store most probably updated itself to newer version when you use it.

Thanks. I was struggling with all the apk that I downloaded and wont work with the normal package installer. What I did was copy and paste using root explorer, set proper permission then integrate it to rom using titanium backup and rebooted and i worked.

I have a rooted phone. I have SuperSU. Do I really need Superuser and BusyBox?

Hi, I have a SONY XPERIA S rooted, and I have SuperSU after root. Now do I really need other apps like Superuser or BusyBox? Or Superuser it's the same thing as SuperSU.
Can i use the phone just with SuperSU or those apps : Superuser and BusyBox are a must ?

You don't have to install Superuser because you already have SuperSu. Busybox is very useful and many apps depend on busybox so it is much better to have busybox installed. But usually, most rooting tool kits [like DoomLorD's] even install busybox if my memory serves me. So if you would like to know if you already have busybox installed, just check my signature for my app on Playstore

Yes I have rooted with this : SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE but only SuperSU appeared on my phone, as an app. Doesn't BusyBox should appear as an app to ?

Oh that's great. Then you should have busybox installed too. Busybox is not an app and hence you won't find it in the app drawer. It is an all in one executable file which contains a variety of commands [linux commands] like cp, mkdir, touch etc. It is located in system/xbin or system/bin.

Use "Root Checker Pro.apk" to check superuse & busybox is correctly installed.
Download the pro version of root checker or buy , your wish.
Busybox is required for some mods to work.
I use Xperia Ion, i need busybox for clockworkmod to work properly.
For u it might help in some other mods.
Thanks. Helped me a lot.

And another thing. What other apps are a must for a rooted phone? Like : Greenify, RomManager [Not working for me, reboots my phone when I try to make a backup ROM ] , DroidWall, Nandroid Manager,Better Terminal or any kind of terminal ? Are this useful or I may look for other apps ?
I don't have any of that. Lol

Well Titanium Backup is a must for all rooted android phones. A good file manager which can modify system files (like Root Browser by Jrummy) is also a must have app. There are many other useful utility apps which utilize superuser access like adb wireless, terminal emulators etc. Each app has it's own function so depending on your needs, just search for playstore and I am sure that you will find an app which suits you the best.
Great, although Greenify it's ok because he can help you identify and put the bad behaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them.
Root uninstaller and es file explorer. Job done

Greenify
Root Browser
Titanium backup
These 3 are must have apps after rooting your phone.

Use A recovery , CWM is the one im using.

If you are on ICS follow this method.
If you are on JB follow this method.
Before trying any of the above, do your own research. See if u have all the requirements before doing anything.

Done it. Download it, extracted the files, do the exact steps, everything ok, I see no change. The link you gave me for JB is [RECOVERY] CWM Recovery 6.0.3.0 for {JB} LOCKED bootloader and I have an unlocked bootloader. When Ienter in recovery with my phone it says that I have CWM v6.0.3.2

Question Is youtubevanced.com save?

i accendently installed the Manager from youtubevanced.com with root access. Now i am afraid that this app contain mailware.
Then uninstall it lol
Once the app has root access, it can modify any files or partitions.
If you're gonna download older Android apps then try to get them from https://www.apkmirror.com/
I wouldn't trust any other site, you should probably wipe and re-install
You searched for vanced - APKMirror

Haha wow you're all way off. It should be vancedapp.com which is the original site with original files made by the original developer.

File in internal storage? Maybe. But since android 10 system and other partitions are read only. No way to modify them unless you installed proper mod in recovery.
