How do i install system apps? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys so decided that I would delete the stock browser, and now I want it back. I canut install, it says application not installed.
So what do I do? Change the permissions of the app? Sideload it? Move it to system/apps? Help appreciated.

Deleting system apps

Hi
I used Sgs tools to do a camera hack and now my camera is screwed always force closes...
I have my old cmeras apk but I can't install it wouldn't let me.
Do I have to uninstall the order camera so I can install this?
And how?

If you can mount your sd card to your computer, then go to /system/app these are your system file apps. You can manually put the .apk file in there, but then you have to use something like Androzip to actually install (just finding it in /system/app and clicking on it will install it, or use the default Files app.)
Duddeee! Thanks in did what you said but with root explorer and now everhthings fine. I thanks man!

hey,
that method leads to FC's and installing the apk leads to app not being installed.

The same thing happens to me when I try to install the Swype app....
Thanks for the link. How the heck do I get it to work without the constant force closes?
make sure it's named vendor.apk and change permissions to fit the other system apps.
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access) Move New Market to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first) Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) fix Permissions (rw--r--r)Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)

Done!

Thanks for the market tips. Everything worked fine. My biggest problem is with the swype. f/c's start when I reboot phone. Running CM stable for vibrant. Don't know how to fix...
Good news, I updated to CM nightly 168 and the FC problem stopped for now.

If you having problems installing the swype apk... you can use Ti backup to uninstall swype, then reboot (important). install swype directly through "files" app or "my files". Worked for me!!
you guys realize that swype updates itself through the settings>input>swype settings> ..
right??? I guess its after the last update mines been updating
Any themes around?

[Q] Not working Market in HaniMod-LiteStar ROM

Please I need to know how to install the market? Every time I want to start showing me a closing force. Why is this? I have tested with version 2.2.6 and the 3.4.4. Help, please. I love this ROM but I need to install the Market.
Use root explorer or any such tool, change name of market file to vending.apk, move it to system/app, set permissions to rw-r--r--
Reboot and enjoy

Sounds like Chrome does not want to be installed as a system app then Is there some benefit to having an app installed as a system app? Or why do you want to have it installed as a system app?

OK I don't know how things work on phones outside of the HD2, but can't you just push the .apk to /system/app with a root explorer, fix permissions in CWM and reboot?
Try to use ADB to move it and remember to set permissions
You need to extract libchromeview.so from the Chrome APK (found at: com.android.chrome-1.apk/lib/armeabi-v7a/libchromeview.so) and move it to system/lib. Optionally, you can remove libchromeview.so from the Chrome APK and zipalign if you want to save a couple of MBs of space.
This worked for me on v. 0.18.4531.3636. I attempted this some time ago on an older version unsuccessfully. If you have an older version for some reason, you'll probably need to update.
Latest titanium backup update said something about fixing conversion in what's new

If I'm not mistaken system apps load first on boot and are often quicker at starting up than user apps. That's been my experience anyways. However a lot of em are more hassle to convert than the slight increase in speed is worth imho

Can I delete google now on MIUI?

I am running MIUI on CDMA and I do not like Google search w. Google now. I used root unisntaller to delete the app off the ROM and installed an .apk I had saved. The problem is when I reboot my phone the original app restores is there a way to permanently keep it the way I want it?

Try this. Go into system/ app folder click on the apk's properties and uncheck all the permissions then delete apk and reboot. Let me know if that helps.
