Hey.
Im trying to add Root Explorer to a ROM, so whenever I install that ROM, Root Explorer is installed. But Im having problems.
I tried adding Rootexplorer.apk to system/app but when I install ROM and try to run it, it force close and says something about (com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer)
Then I tried to add rootexplorer.apk to data/app
Doesn't appear installed.
I really don't know how to do it and need help. I don't know if im doing something wrong...
i think when you ad any .apk too system/app you need to change the permission to rw-r--r-- and then reboot it should work!!

The problem is that im adding the .apk to a .zip file
So I can't set any permission until I install that .zip
Camera.apk and mms.apk added to system/app and they worked.
Rootexplorer.apk won't =/

Im sure I have used ROMs that come with root explorer installed.
Not sure how they did it, but there must be a way.
I download ROM.zip and trying to add rootexplorer.apk
thats it

i think when you make a ROM you need a software that can also set the permissions in the zip file i had seen it yesterday but i dont remember the name
i saw it in the development section in a ROM making guide see if you can find it all the best !!
There's no need of any such software. Whenever a rom installs,all the required permissions are set automatically by the updater-script. And well, if you are planning to release the ROM on xda, Do *not* include root explorer in it. Root explorer is a paid app and adding warez to roms is not allowed on XDA.

So, i have some sgs2 stock apk files, how can i install them to my custom ROM sgs2 ? if i try to install them it says "X App not installed" (sorry for bad translations)
and some say "You have allready installed same named package, which signature is in conflict with this package"
Try to rename tha apk in apk.bak and paste the new one by root explorer or similar giving sama permission
use thanks button!!
Is it an AOSP custom ROM? If it is, the frameworks are incompatible and you will never succeed.

Try this:
First you obviously need root.
1. Using any file explorer (e.g. Root Explorer, Astro, or ES File Manager) copy the apk files to /system/app directory
2. Mount the directory (Look for "Mount R/W") so that the files can be modified.
3. Change the Permission of the apk files (usually done by press-holding the file and selecting the appropriate menu selection) to rw-r--r--
4. Reboot the device
This should automatically install the apk files at the next boot.
It wont let me copy those apk's to system/app folder. and i didnt find mount r/w from any explorer. my rom is Omega's ics 4.0.4
srry for repost but i found mount r/w and i managed to copy apk's to system/app folder, now just rebooting and i will see if that works
E: It didnt install those apk's, i did just like u said :s

that's not good.
I've used this method to install stock swype and taskmanager apks to cm9 and it worked for me.
Did you update the permissions?
If you have, sorry, I can't help you further. I've read somewhere about "deodex" that may have got to do with it, which i'm not quite sure about.
I've also noticed that apks that are specifically designed for TW don't work on other ROMs.
good luck

Stock musicplayer, clock and stock keyboard. My problem isnt that they wont work, it wont even install them. And i changed the permissions... :s
I think they are all tw apps, they are not gonna even install.

Sorry no. That'd be like trying to install Mac software on Windows. Not gonna work. Touchwiz apps cannot be installed on an AOSP ROM.
Hi guys!
Could someone upload the original SamsungCamera.apk, please? Because when I'm tried to install HX Camera mod, i put the two files into a zip, when the Root Browser crashed. The two files were gone, and the zip became corrupt. After this, i put the mod to system\app. On the first run, it worked, but after a while it crashed. I run the camera again and it crashed after a time, again, and again. So I decided to try the video. And now it doesn't even want to start. So that's why i request the stock camera, and please upload as soon as possible. Thanks.

So, I downloaded this app and I've moved it to /system/app folder and I've tried to install it and it simply says "not installed". I've been searching the net for days now. I've done the following.
1. Root access for Apps and ADB
2. I deleted the CN 9 mod camera app in the /system/app folder (Is there something else that I need to delete?)
3. Installed Busy Box, Astro, ES File Explorer and Easy Installer
4. I successfully installed other stock apps such as S Voice.
I've found similar questions on the net, but no answer. Please help me out!
Set permissions to read write execute / read /read usint root explorer.
Reboot in recovery , wipe cache and dalvik.
Reboot.
That should do the trick

Thanks but no dice. I narrowed it down to few possible reasons, all of which I would need help with.
1. Even though, my options say that I'm rooted for "Apps and ADB", I don't think I'm "Fully rooted" as Android Commander still says "no root".
2. I don't have the right drivers. I was told that the "service drivers" are different than the normal USB drivers I get when I plug in my phone and maybe that's why Android Commander might not fully recognize my phone.
3. Permissions. I keep reading about read/write permissions, but maybe the options that I'm looking at is not the same "R/W" in question. I don't know.
4. Everything is correct and I just don't know what I'm doing
So, I realized that the app is a "read only" apk and it wont let me change it's permission in Root Explorer. Is there a way that I can change it? Or does anyone have another SG3 camera apk?
So, after extensive research, it has been reported that particular app doesn't work on custom roms.

U can change it actually in root explorer. At the top right there's R/O, click it so it'll be R/W.. from there u can change its permission. I know this is pretty obvious, but this may help u out. cheers!

hi,
I'm trying to install stock sms app but i can't achieve this. It keeps saying : installation aborded
I am on chameleon rom 1.1 ( hybrid aosp/samsung rom)
Can you help me ?
(sorry if i made mistakes in my post i'm not english XD )
You should copy the apk into /system/app, then change permissions into 644 (rw--r--r), change group and owner to 'root', and finally reboot and try.

i already tried it and it didn't work. and i am not sur about the about i trid to install because it s difficult to find the stock sms app.
i changed the permissions but i don t understand what you are saying by " 644 (rw--r--r)"
theoricaly it should work since i use an hybrid app ?
With a file manager, backup your mms.apk in /system/app in whatever folder you want. Then, copy the stock mms.apk into /system/app.
You shouldn't click on the .apk and let the app install as you do with other apk files, because this is a system application.
644 means read/write-read-read.
rw-r--r means u set read and write in the owner row , and set read only in the group row , and set read only too in the others row
Note : u get to permissions window in root explorer afer changing r/o read only to r/w read write from the button at the top
then just long click the item u want to change its permissions
i tried what you have said and it didn't work. Is a flashable zip existed ?
up
The stock mms.apk might not be compatible with the custom ROM you have on your phone...
Why do you say it doesn't work? What happens? You open it and it FCs or something else?
I just followed instructions given by posters above and it didn't worked. ( remove the old Mms.apk by the stock one, and fix the permissions, then reboot ) Maybe i don't have the good app, i don't understand why it didn't work; The chameleon rom support stock camera app of samsung and others apps...

Maybe the pakage cant be praised because of android version differnece , some apks from ics dont work on Jb and vice versa
So if u want a stock sms to work on jb , then download another jb rom that has it and take it from there
For pushing files to system app , it is better to first delete the app u want to replace then do a reboot after that copy the new app to system app and set premissions and set r/w back to r/o
This is not my work..i found it on another site
-Download the .Zip archive wich contains the needed files from
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ej2nryn3pilemvx/Google%20NOW%20package.zip
-Extract it to your pc
-Use Root Explorer or something similar
-Copy the three folders from extracted archive on your sd card
-Copy Velvet.apk from the "app" folder to system/app and set the permissions to rw-r--r--
-Copy the lib files from the "lib" folder and paste them to system/lib(set the permissions to every file to rw-r--r--)
-Copy and paste usr/srec from the Google Now Package to system/usr/srec and set the permissions to rw-r--r-- for every file in every folder!
-Reboot and it should work
This it will also change the Google search bar to the Jelly Bean look
Works great... But i had to reaname the "Valvet.apk" to: "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk"
(before I renamed the already existing "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" in system/app to "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk.bak")
Hey there... For some reason i cant changer the permission of the folder to rw-r--r--.
Each time i change the folder's permission to that all the files in that particular folder is missing...

Remember that any modification is your own responsibility

THIS NEEDS UP TO 4O MB ON SYSTEM/APP (among other system folders)
I tried the flashable zip but it get an installation aborted on every attempt to install it.
Could it be my recovery? I'm on ics stock kernel.

Mm...I feel manual mode is bit too much time consuming as there are too many files to set permission and afraid of missing something there!

Is it possible to extract samung keyboard (like attached photo) and use it on aosp roms?
I read about the twframework dependence, but does a way to make it work exist?
Or at least someone can advise me a very similar keyboard? Thank you

However Drivingdroids' guide says:

Before I wipe everything and test it on a KK rom, you think i can do it also without the zip file (taking the files i need from the zip of the sammy rom)?

Yeah first do a Backup of the present rom whatever you have, and try taking the files and copying them and fixing the permissions !! It should work
Dont forget to hit thanks if this helps you
Thank you, I'll give a try asap!
I've found (somewhere, I can't remember where) a zip file with all the files mentioned above. so I installed it on dirty unicorns, wipe cache, dalvik, fix permissions and it works! but it isn't the same keyboard of my old rom, it is samsungkeybord of ICS (quite old..). So I extracted NeatRom zip, but the files I need dont exist! (I extract it on windows and try to "search", so I'm pretty sure there is nothing). In preload/symlink/system/app the only apk that reminds to a keyboard is "SamsungIME.apk" but it refuses to install on KK and pushing it to system/app of the new rom seems to be useless.. Here the zip file and SamsungIME.apk, maybe can be useful.. Some advices? Thank you.
