Hello,
I'm trying to transfer a Google Play App to /System/app but everytime I reboot it dissapears.
I think this is because i have my device S-on.
¿Is there any solution to this? I have followed all "ES explorer" tutorials.
My device is rooted with magisk.
Thank You.
u can't

You can try with TWRP recovery. I deleted system apps from there, so maybe there's possibility to push apps there. Just go to Mount > then check System > go back > Advanced > File Manager > and try to put apk's to folder you want.

In my haste on my freshly rooted Nexus, I used Titanium Backup to uninstall some apps I don't use that I know I can get from the market if I ever wanted them, but I got a bit quick and uninstalled the stock Email app instead of freeze it (in case I ever wanted to use it). I did a factory reset but that doesn't bring it back so my question is, can anyone post the apk and tell me where to put it to get it back? I think the proper location is /system/app, is that correct? Thanks.
Yep, /system/app. There are two APKs with the Email icon: EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk. I've attached both as a ZIP.
Thanks a lot!
OK so I'm still a bit new to this. I used root explorer to mount /system/app as r/w and changed the permissions on the EmailGoogle.apk to rwxr--r--. I already have ExchangeGoogle.apk. I have enabled "allow non-market apps" in my settings but I'm still getting "application not installed" when i try to install it. What am I missing? I used the RootToolkit to unlock and root my Galaxy Nexus, but I do have some experience using adb from the past with rooting my Droid. Do I need adb to install this?

You won't be able to install it, just use a root explorer (such as ES File Explorer) to manually copy the file to /system/app, it should then show up as installed.
Ah ok. I did a reboot and it's still not in my app drawer.

I wasn't thinking; you'll need the ODEX as well. I've attached both files, just copy them both into /system/app and let me know if that works.
That did it! Excellent!
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

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).

Exactly what I did ,i allows access to all the others and system but as soon as I press ok and go back to check the permissions again system is the only one that reverts back to read only

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

Can anyone explain how to install TWRP recovery on B506 firmware. I have read so many threads for the installation of TWRP recovery on P6 but neither worked on my P6. I will be much obliged for step-wise procedure.
Regards.

I have followed the steps and successful in installing the TWRP recovery.
One thing more, If I want to downgrade from B506 to B111, what procedure should I follow as I am feeling problems in some Chinese apps that are annoying?

Chinese apps are no issue. Just root yr device, and uninstall all system apps with Titanium backup root (download in appstore)

I am unable to uninstall these system files with the message "Failed to locate the apk file"?
What should I do?
Use root explorer and navigate to /system/priv-app and from them manually delete them

Does the app uninstall with that method ?
And what is the logic behind having an apk file saved in the system folder ? Because mere saving it does not install the app. So i was wondering why the apk is retained after install.

It does go away if you delete the .apk file from that folder, only downside is that you'll have a left over in your data folder but it will not any harm other than taking a few bytes of your disk space, but it will not re run or cause any other issue to the phone.
If you save an app on any system folder it will automatically be installed at next boot, Android does this with the system folder. Even if you didn't installed the app in the user space it will generate a "system data folder" for that without the need of "installing it". Also remember that most System apps are give the system UID which pretty much enables them to run at boot etc... So if you don't delete the app from the system folder it will come back at every boot.
