If you put it in system app you shouldn't need to install it just reboot your phone

What is the file ur trying to push? Link? Does the firmware match from the ROM ur taking it from and pushing it into? System is set to Read/Write?had to ask, lol

Yea its set as r/w nd the file im tryin to push is like a skin for the mms i downloaded it from the hemes and apps section it somethin called DARK MMS and it came wit a zip fike so i jst downloaded it directly to my phone extracted it nd trted to push it... and im using TRIGGER
Funny enough, that mms.apk doesn't work for me either.

most were already apk's just rename and push, one was zips just unzip and they were already named mms.apk for me push and done.
Only thing was you gotta remember to rename them Mms.apk then replace your original. Don't forget to make a copy of your original. Once you replace the original mms.apk you should not have to install it. Just back out and open mms app and ur golden. First run will prob lag a little reboot phone should fix it. Good luck!

yea i downloaded those apks and also followed the steps to push them and nothing happened.. again what i did was ZIP FILE-MMS APKS- EXTRACT-EXTRACTED FOLDER-MMS APK- COPY- SYSTEM- APP PASTE and once i select paste it takes me to the SD card folder and the mms apk doesnt replace the original one.. instead it gets pasted on the SD card folder so it kinda mskes me mad because i try and i keep tryin and i even rebooted my phone so many times and it doesnt work at all!!!
Hmmm very odd indeed.
What file explorer are u using? Root explorer? That's what I used.
Are you dling and extracting all on phone? Try fresh dl on pc and unzip extract .apk on pc. Move .apk onto phone and then try to push it into /system
*Edit* The first 2 links are .apk already so I assume you mean the 3rd link. I unzipped the "blue colored" & "blue nolip" werked fine for me. Which ones were you trying?

The third one..... nd yea what i did was extract the apk from the zip fike nd tryed to push it into the system-app and pressd paste and nothin happens.. i reeboot and it doesnt do anythin... nd yea i used root explorer....
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Ok so I assume you mean the 3rd .zip in the 3rd link which is the "Blue Mms nolip zip"?? If so thats awesome because its one that I tried and actually the last one I pushed. Here is the .apk from the zip I downloaded try pushing it. Maybe you got a bad download or a corrupt file during the unzip(prob not). Lemme know how it werks. If it doesn't maybe some screenshots of what your /system/app/ looks like in root explorer. Good luck!
Omg!! Thank u so much it looks awesome!!!

You need to use adb to push it to the correct directory. Or just reset back to stock

anyone have the newest gtalk with Video chat apk?
wanna get it on my buddy phone. And please only apk and not flash file cause he is not rooted.
Thanks fellas
Nothing Really?
Bump.
Just download any room with it in it. Open the room zip and copy the gtalk file, it will be in /system/app you won't be able to install it if he isn't rooted I don't believe. You can give it a shot though.

i have been doing some research and it doesn't look like there's a way to do it without root.
That's why i brought it over to xda, there has to be a way!

How did you get that to write to /system on an unrooted device? Just curious maybe I can learn something, knowing how linda file manager writes to a locked partition would be very helpful.

Thanks guys the other poster said he could do this without root. The OP stated he wanted an apk because he was trying to install on a non rooted device. These methods all require root, I was just curious how somebody was writing to system without root.

You can't use the new gtalk without root because you need its associated files and those files have to be placed in system folders and the only way to read/write system folders is with root. The apk alone won't work. Especially because it needs to placed in /system/app, not /data/app

Hello do anyone know if it's possible to copy keyboard from one rom to other rom? To add a language.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using Tapatalk
yes its possible. but need to know which apk is the keyboard, also the lib associated with it.
I'm trying to find out about moving the keyboard as well. How to move the lib and the apk to system\app? I don't have root explorer..
what keyboard do u want to extract from the rom?
Hmm i didn't extract the keyboard myself. I got the DioChinese IME from a forum.
I just installed coderomv2x, but it does not have the chinese keyboard, so I downloaded it but not sure how to move it without rootexplorer..
well then, if just wanna remove stock keyboard from rom, just use titanium backup. uninstall/freeze it will do.
also if that diochinese keyboard u got is flashable zip file, u can just flash it via recovery.
Sorry but I'm new to this, so I don't really understand what u meant by flashable zip file. I have the apk and and .so files (which are the library files rite? :S) Is there a way to move these files to the system/app folder? How else do I install the keyboard? Thnx!
copy the apk to /system/app and the libs to /system/lib then give proper permission. permission for both the apk and libs should be rw-r--r--. then just reboot ur phone. u need to rooted ur phone and using any filemanager with root capability like root explorer to do this.
Thanks, i found Super Manager from the market and used it to move the files. How do i enable permissions? By using the superuser app?
dont know about super manager because never use it, but if using root explorer is long click on the file>Permissions. and it should look like this
Hmm icic my files appear as rwxr-x, and i can't seem to find a way to change the permissions...but i went back to the apk file and tried to install. It installed and the keyboard now works, but i think the handwriting mode got prob.
when u enter any filesystem folder using root explorer, on the upper right corner theres a button that showed "mount r/w", click it until it shows "mount r/o". only then will u be able to change the content of filesystem folder.

Do you know? Please tell then.
Keyboard apks normaly are top of the list and end in ime for instance AxT9ime.apk and if you deodex you can take libs from the apk its self hope that helps.

Ok, I have been trying for a while now to change the HTC lock rings and there is a really cool thread on here by mohit1234: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262990, anyway it has a heap of lock rings. Originally I could not put them on as he made them for a different phone model. So then I uploaded my fusion.apk and sent it to him. He made me custom lock rings with both the Earth and the Captain America Shield. So everytime i try to flash it to my phone nothing happens. So I made a copy of the .zip and extracted the fusion.apk and went to copy to the /system/apps directory with both "ES File Explorer" and "Root Browser Lite". But whenever I try to copy it the phone either crashes and restarts or says copy succesful and nothing happens. This also happens when I copy a droidsansfallback.ttf (modded with the emoji icons). But the font works when it says successful. Does anyone know what is happening? Mohit1234 also suggested to push using adb, would this help at all?

You can find it here.
Without that patch, you can't muck about with /system
Total Crashing
Ok, I flashed a zip designed for my phone with the kernel you suggested, and my phone crashed twice (again) when copying the fusion.apk and the droidsansfallback.ttf doesn't even work when I copy it any more. Also when I plug it into my PC and choose "mount as hard disk" my phone crashes and reboots. So I am thinking I should just start again. I think I am going to flash hasoon200's "stock, rooted, deodexed" ROM.
I have tried to install this thing like 4 times, it is in my /system/lib/modules but I can't get it working. I have tried copying droidsansfllback.ttf modded with emoji into the /systom/fonts folder but when I restart it is reverted back to the old one. And seeing as I am new to this I can't decipher the instructions on how to install this.

Extract the fusion.apk from his zip and paste it manually using aroma file manager.

I know, i installed it in the recovery and it opened up etc. BUT my system is still write protected when I reboot or startup my phone it reverts to its original /system state. which brings us back to how to install the kernel. In short Aroma doesn't work until I remove write protection. I may be a noob, but I know that this simply wont work.

Check your PM... I post a modded zip for you.
It's nothing wrong with the zip file that you posted. It flashed ok on my ROM
Your problem I guess is due to the stock ROM that you have where you do not have busybox installed.
So I mod the updater-script so it can be installed without busy box.

Hi
I have this problem with my friends galaxy ace GT-S5839i:
I need someone to help me here because I don't know what to do
I pulled the file framework-res.apk from system and then changed the extension to zip, and changed an image inside one of the folders.
After that I zipped the pack again (tried several zip options) and changed the extension back to apk
My first question: Is this ok?
I copied the changed file to sdcard and using es explorer moved the file to system/framework. Imediately After answering if I wanted to overwrite the phone freezes and never booted again.
I restored the rom and tried several times with same result
I tought the problem would be trying to overwrite a file that's in use but then I found a tool the decompiled the original apk, changed the image, compiled and signed it and made a flashable zip of it.
It gsve always error in trying to flash this on recovery so I extrated the compiled and signed new framwork apk and moved it to system with es explorer... The difference now is that it didn't froze the phone but started to show fc's everywhere. Rebooted, wipede cash and dalvik, messed up woth permissions... Everything I could think of and the result os always tbe same...
Please can amyone share a light here?
Thanks

Its working now but still don't know why the previous actions didn't work
