Hi, can you please help me and tell me what I am doing wrong?
You see, using Root Explorer, I was able to remove the browser.apk (by moving to sd card) from /system/app, then got a quickics.apk, renamed it as browser.apk, then placed it unto /system/app, then changed the permission accordingly...
When I rebooted the phone, Android Starting App occurs but when I tap it to open, it force closes on me...
What am I doing wrong? or for that matter, is what I did or intention possible?

yes.. I am on ICS custom rom.. i just happen to like the quick ics browser more than the browser included in the custom rom.. thus I did that...
when I just left the stock browser and installed quick, there was no problem.. the problem just occurred when I tried replacing the stock browser...
i know this is not really "life or death" for me but for some reason, it just bothers me to have an app in my app list that I do not use... hehehe
Buddy dont replace the browser.apk just delete it and put quickics.apk on system/app with proper permission. Restart your device.hope it will work

No just copy it, fix permissions in root explorer and reboot. But don't rename it to browser.apk. Reboot and normally it should work?!
Hmm okay that's strange, are you using the latest version? Maybe delete it again, download it from playstore, install it and make it to a system app using titanium backup (there should be an option on titanium backup if the app is installed). Look if that maybe solves the problem
You should not replace the stock android browser.apk as it is integrated into the system and removing it or replacing it will probably result in force closures and your system might become unstable.
Just add the quickics.apk reboot into clockworkmod and select advanced and select fix permissions. No need to change permissions via root explorer if you have clockworkmod.
And Press thanks if I've helped you!

not working on both accounts... still having FC...
i am giving thanks to all those who replied to me though...
If it works as a non system app in your phone then it should work perfectly normal as a system app provided the permissions are set right and the stock browser isn't removed . I don't know where you are going wrong
Just to be correct about the permission part, The permission has to be set as ,
User rw-
Group r--
Others r--

thanks for the file man but I'm having trouble installing it, I put it at sdcard then into /system folder, then changed permission and move to system/app/ then reboot. still not showing in home switcher. I even click on it and pressed 'install' but showing 'application not installed'. any other way to do it?

Rather then moving and setting permissions, why not just try to install like a normal app?
Tried just now and still no luck, I guess i'll have to stick w/ launcher pro then.

If both doesn't work, then you have final choice is to flash using SEUS. Make sure you backup your stuff before proceeding.

Are you shure that permissions were set right? Also, maybe SE home was "installed" but just not showing in home switcher (as I understood it is a third paty aplication?).
Maybe try to delete the default settings for launcher pro and then press home button. The dialog to chose home screen should appear.
the original app is called home.apk perhaps it needs to be called that?

Sorry to hijack this thread. But could a nice person please upload the talk.apk? I REALLY need it very fast.

U have to put vending.apk in system/app using root explorer and then give the permissions using root explorer and reboot? It'll be installed after reboot?
I have installed several versions of CM7 and my only problem is the gallery. it really takes time to load. I have tried Forced Stop, Restart, and Did the Go Back procedure, same problem.
Wonder how I can fix it.
Did i miss anything?
you might need some script things as i am on custom stock using turboBoost by GadgetCheck+Sladimod3 and galley open faster than quickpic[reported as faster by users here]

I bet you install quickpic via market, try installing by .apk and use TB. hope this helps

1) Use root explorer (or any same kind of app)
2) go to data/app
3) Copy quickpic's apk file (Hint- take a look at the icons of the apk's, you'll easily understand which one is quickpic's file)
4) Paste it to system/app
5) Set permissions to
RW-
R--
R--
6) Exit from root explorer
7) Go to settings-> apps -> manage apps -> QUICKPIC -> uninstall
8) Reboot and enjoy

Hi Guys, This is my first thread here. I'm new to Android and flashing custom ROM's. I've recently bought Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 (International version). I used Siyah kernel for Dual-Booting FoxHound along with Stock ROM. I really liked FoxHound because of improved performance, beats audio etc. I've decided to flash FoxHound as only ROM on my device but I fear that it will also remove the stock samsung apps which I really find useful.
S Memo
S Suggest
S Planner
Is there any way to get these apps on FoxHound? Sorry I couldn't find any similar post here that's why I'm asking
You could use root explorer, copy them to your sdcard and install on your new rom. Should work fine if they don't have any other dependancies.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
you need to copy them to /system/app
as long as it's a Sammy ROM, it should work
I tried that but when I copy SMemo files to system/apps using root explorer it says that the files are copied successfully but they don't... Any solution for this I guess it has something to do with the permissions

The SMemo.apk's permissions are (rw-rw-r) and to move it to system/apps the permissions should be (rw-r-r). When I change the permissions they still look unchanged...
Are you sure you've given root access to root explorer...try changing the permissions with chmod command.

I've edited their permission to rw--r--r (0644) but the apps says 'Changing Permissions was not successful. Please note that some file systems do not allow permission changes.'
Update: Thank you guys, I've figured it out and now its working. Can you please tell me After moving S Memo files to System/apps should i install them manually?

I was saying that launching the apk manually won't install it.
Try clearing its data and make sure it's from the same firmware version
