First of all, to put it in /system/app, you're going to need to be rooted.
I use ES File Explorer, but you can use whatever you want. In any case, I'll write instructions for ES.
1. Go to ES's settings and then root settings and check "root explorer", "up to root", and "mount file system".
2. Navigate to your app wherever you saved it and long click > copy.
3. Navigate to /system/app and paste
4. Long click on the app you just pasted and go to properties
5. Click on the "change" button next to permissions
6. Set User: Read Write, Group: Read, Other: Read
7. Reboot your phone and hope for the best!
Note: The app still might not work as a system app.

Hello guys, after much of my research on getting old market back on ICSunday ROM by jusada, I finally figured out how to do so.
So let's start.
1. Download Vending.apk (Attached) onto your phone and save it to your SDCard.
2. Get/Open Root Explorer and navigate to "/sdcard" copy "Vending.apk" from there.
3. Mount R/W in "/system/app/" and paste "Vending.apk" in there.
4. In "/system/app/" folder there would be a file called "8007005.apk" rename it to "8007005.apk.abc" (I don't prefer deleting system files, so I just rename them so as to get a backup in case anything goes wrong).
5. Rename your "Vending.apk" (the one you just copied) to "8007005.apk".
6. Change permissions of your "8007005.apk" to "rw-r--r--" and Change owner to Owner: 0-root and Group: 0-root.
7. Rename "MarketUpdater.apk" in "/system/app" to "MarketUpdater.apk.abc".
8. Navigate to "/data/data/" and delete folders called "com.android.vending" and "com.android.vending.update".
9. Reboot your mobile.
10. Finally if you don't see your market downgraded just head over to Root Explorer and navigate to "/system/app/", tap "8007005.apk", when the popup shows up tap "Install" and let it install like a normal apk file.
Voila you have successfully downgraded your market!
Post your queries here if you are facing any problems or need help with something.
On Cyanogenmod, i uninstalled the Updates from Market under Settings/Apps and deleted MarketUpdater.apk.
There is a better way for those roms fixed on the new market. It's automated: search oldmarket on xda it's a free root app.
how to stop market updating itself? i revert to the old one then it update it self once again.

Use titanium backup or any other app that can freeze apps, to freeze market-updater.apk

ICS ROM already comes with updated 3.3.1, so if I uninstalled updates, the market still remained the same.

Grab yourself a copy of Root Explorer (Root needed), head over to "/system/app/", mount R/W and rename file called "MarketUpdater.apk" to "MarketUpdater.apk.abc", finally uninstall updates of market and it would stop upgrading itself.

if you have root explorer [or any other] then you just can remove all read write permission of marketupdater.apk and uninstall current updates

You have to copy apk file into system folder. You can`t install it like any other app. To do that you have to be root user.
I use ES file explorer. Install ES file explorer. Go to options and select "Root Explorer" (press "Allow" when asked from superuser app) and "Mount File System". Copy your apk and go to your phone memory. Go to system and then app folder and paste it. Reboot your phone and you`re done.

here is official from the latest stable cyanogen which should work fine

Can anyone here help or assist me, How to change the Galaxy S3 Touch Sound???
changing system sounds
Devils77 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This requires root!
The sounds (by default) are stored in /system/media/audio/ui/
!NOTE: This is for system/OS sounds. Notifications etc are not stored here!
Screen touch sound is "TW_Touch.ogg" and back and menu button sounds are "S_HW_Touch.ogg"
If you would like to change the sound to something else, find a mp3 or something that you would like to use then convert it to a .ogg format.
Can be done on this website: htt$p://audio.on$line-convert.$com/convert-to-ogg *Remove $ symbols from URL
Then rename your new .ogg to either "TW_Touch.ogg" or "S_HW_Touch.ogg" dependent on what sound you would like to change.
Place the .ogg file on your sd card and move it the mentioned directory and overwrite (delete) the original .ogg file (backup first).
Then remember to set the permissions of the .ogg file to "rw-r--r--" and make sure it is named correctly, it is case sensitive.
Reboot system and enjoy your new sounds :good:
I tried everything that you said and it doesn't work for me. When i try to move/overwrite the file it tells me "Cannot copy or move file". When i try to delete the orginal file first it tells me "Warning - Could not delete". I am on stock rom and rooted. When i try to change permissions to the original files it gives me error "unable to chmod /system/media/...bla bla". What to do?
Ok. I got it. Thanks for everything!! Thumbs up!

Your root has failed, download root checker to see.
If it fails you will need to re-root with CF-Root.
Very Awesome. Thanks for the help.
I am running into an issue. My phone has been verified as rooted by rootchecker. The only way I can see the root directory on the phone is with Astro File Manager. Once in the correct folder, I can see the TW_TOUCH.OGG file and have a replacement. However I can't write to the folder. I can't even rename the original. Checking the properties of the file I don't see any notations that the file or folder are write protected. I assume the entire drive is per se with the exception of the \SDCARD directory.
Is there a better tool for doing all this? I'd like to have something I can use from a PC as well.
Thanks,
Karl
Use Super Manager or Android Commander .

First you need to Root.
There are good guides around here.
I'd recommend ES File Explorer
Download it then
Open ES File Explorer
Menu > Settings > Root settings.
Check Root Explorer
Click Grant when SU popup appears.
Check Up to Root
and Check Mount File System.
Now it will copy succesfully to the system folder.
Slightly easier
No need to do renaming. Save desired oggs to your ext sd card.
Use Root Browser (ES doesnt seem to go to system no matter)
Use Root Browser. Go to your ext sd card. Long press on the desired .ogg. Copy it.
navigate to the folder l /system/media/audio/ui/ as instructed above.
Click paste. If your file is named correctly it will ask 'replace?' click yes. Do the same for the other file.
Reboot. You have to reboot. How it still plays water droplets before rebooting Idk. But reboot and you back to clicky goodness. (who thought of that water droplet. Chinese water torture.)
Edit: I attached the two files. Change from .txt to .ogg.
operation failed?

paste the the facebook.apk in system/app/here and change the permission to rw-r-r
Make sure you are ROOTED.
For convenience I recommend install an app named ROOT EXPLORER.
*After installing, Download the Latest Facebook.apk extension file.
*Go to ROOT directory > then SYSTEM > then APP
*Paste your Facebook.apk file there.
*Long press on that Facebook.apk file and choose PERMISSIONS
*And Check as shown in figure.
Done

*Open that folder and you will find all installed app in your device (except system apps)
*There you will ring Facebook apk file too. Long press on that file and choose MOVE
*Now go back to ROOT directory and look for folder named "SYSTEM"
*Look for folder named "APP"
*Open that, and at the top you will find MOVE HERE, Click on that (Your Facebook file is now moved to SYSTEM>APP)
*Now after moving, long press on Facebook file and choose the option PERMISSIONS

You are just modifying the current ROM, Not making the ROM.
If you over right with other ROM while flashing you will loose all the modified data.(like making a Facebook as an System App)
After completion I suggest take a backup of your device.
Edit: If you are getting error, then Move that Facebook file to your Memory Card. After that uninstall Facebook, make sure that FACEBOOK FILE IS NOT ANYWHERE IN YOUR DEVICE EXCEPT YOUR MEMORY CARD. If you find there exist any then Delete that.
Now you are clean, Move that FACEBOOK file from MEMORY CARD to SYSTEM>APP and move there.
After file gets moved, just click on it and choose INSTALL.
Done

I believe so. Root Explorer is "on" and Mount R/W permission is set as Path/ =RO, /persdata/absolute=RW, /system=RW, /firmware-mdm=RO.
Does that sound right?
OK, I went ahead and bought "Root Explorer" and was able to copy the Calendar apk into the system/app folder. But I still can't get it to install. system/app is mounted as R/W but when I tap on the apk and run "install" it says "application not installed" every time. Any ideas why? FWIW, the apk is "SecCalendar_NAmerica_SPen.apk" and should be the apk for the stock Calendar app.

The not installing is normal, see what permissions another system app has, apply the same.to the one youre copying. Reboot and it should work.

OK, I'm now stumped. I've changed permissions and "owner" so it's identical to all other .apk's in the system/app folder. But after rebooting it still isn't installed. It looks right in the system/app folder, but the application is not in my app drawer. (No icon, widget, etc.) Any other ideas?
I know this is old but I'm having the same problem. The file is Read Only and I can't figure out how to change the path so that I can copy it to system/app.
Thank you
