Hello, just got the Thunderbolt coming from Samsung Vibrant. I've rooted and flashed deodexed stock rom, etc.
I want to install the AOSP File Manager and have placed the apk in System/App. I've checked all the permissions and rebooted multiple times but the app still doesn't show up in the app drawer? This worked on the Vibrant, not sure if something is different here?
Thanks for any help.
Weird but I figured it out. The file was named "File Manager -Copy.apk". For some reason didn't notice it. Deleted -Copy and it works fine.

Will this work on axura 2.2.5.7?
Update: I tried to install this but it didn't work. :-(

I downloaded and installed it right from this thread....didn't use root explorer. What is the correct way to install this, if mine was wrong.

Root Explorer or adb push to /system/app. Don't try to install like a normal app.
I just installed root explorer. Is this [LINK] a good tutorial on how to use RootExplorer... I couldn't find a step by step tutorial on xda.
root explorer is easy to use.
its just like using the stock files, but you can see other things that require root.
if your installing a app, and it won't let you install by just clicking it, then you go to the file, menu, copy/move, then go to system/app/ then paste/move it there, and then get out of that app, and in your app drawer, the app should be installed.
I'm running Cyanogen Mod on my Vibrant, and trying to get this APK installed. Using Root Explorer, I copied/pasted the APK to the system/app directory, but this didn't do anything.
Other things I tried:
- Opening all permissions to the APK that is in the system/app directory
- Rebooting
- Verifying that "allow non-market apps" is checked
- Using Root Explorer to browse to app, selecting it and choosing "install"
Nothing is working. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this an incompatibility between the Task Manager "JobManager.apk" and Cyanogen?
Thanks in advance for anyone's advice.

More than likely, its an incompatibility issue between I'm assuming a 2.2 ROM and a CM7 which is 2.3.

As the title says, I accidentally uninstalled the Camera app from my phone. I'm using Passion ICS ROM, and I tried re-applying the ROM zip, and installing the Camera.apk from the zip and neither worked. Is there any way to get it back?
Thanks in advance
get a app, root explorer, root browser w/e u want.
On your computer extract the camera.apk from the ICS Passion ROM, its located in system/apps/
put that .apk on your phone.
move the .apk into system/app/ on your phone.
make sure permissions are same as the other apps in the same folder.
something like
* *
*
*
reboot, and now check if its back.
I recently installed CyanogenMod 9 on my (international) Samsung Galaxy Note. However, I loved the calendar app that came with the original ROM on my Note called S Planner. I found the extracted .apk of this app, but if I try to install it, it says 'Application not installed. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed'. I tried several methods I found using Google, but none worked. I hate to make another thread on these forums, but could anyone help me with this?
Please bear in mind I'm pretty much a n00b.
I have the same desire. I have a rooted sgh-i717 Note on which I'm running an AOSP 4.1 ROM. I'd really like to install the S-Planner App. I tried a similar apk file and got the same result.
First using any root explorer move you modified s planner app to your sd card now copy and paste the original s planner app to root>system>app
Now make the permissions
R w _
R_ _
R_ _
Now reboot your s planner will install
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
The problem is, there is no original .apk of this app in the /system/app folder.
Ok than just put whatever app yo want to install in system>app
And make the permission
And reboot
It will install.
Many times i have installed apps like this which don't install manually..

It didn't. I really don't know what I did wrong though...
I tried this method several times with Astro File Manager et File Manager (Super Manager)
but the application does not install.
I've done all permissions.
I have a Galaxy Note 1 GT-N7000 with Jelly Bean 4.1.2
Can you help me?
Thank you.
Greetings all
I'm hoping that someone out there knows what is going on with the keyboard installer. My phone is running SnowJB ROM, but I really don't like the stock Android keyboard and want to reinstall the LG keyboard. I have the APK file from the stock AT&T image, but I can't load them onto the system. The files disappear if I try to simply copy/paste into the /system/app directory, and I just get a generic "installation failed" if I try to install as an APK. And yes, I do have unauthorized sources enabled. So at this point, I'm at a loss. Has anyone been able to successfully install the stock LG keyboard? Or any idea what is blocking me from doing so?
Thanks.
Me to i tried installing with apk says application not installed and then i moved it to system/app changed permissions to rw-r-r and restarted but it just said lg keyboard has stopped. So if anybody knows that would be great. Nobodys responding though

I rooted my kids GS4, using open1your1eyes0 method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380325
All went well with that.
I tried to get rid of some of the bloatware using Root Browser, that didn't work so well, so I bought Root Explorer and that worked fine.
It seems that I cleaned a bit too much, I took off some things the kid wanted, including the accuweather app (widget) and while the Google Play icon is still on the phone, it does't work.
I figured no problem, I copied the entire system/app folder from an untouched GS4 to my hard drive, then copied the apk's for Google Play and Accuweather to the rooted GS4's Sd card and tried to install from there. It went thought the motions, but when it was done the screen read "App Not Installed".
I then moved the apk's to the phone and put them into the system/app directory and tired again, same "App Not Installed".
any ideas how to re-install these?
You don't want to install system apps, just use Root Explorer and copy them to your system/app folder (make sure you hit the "Mount R/W" button) set the permissions on both files and reboot.
If you are not sure what to set permissions at long press on an existing app and select permissions and see which boxes are checked.
That should get you fixed up.
