ok, since you pushed it to system/app, there is no need to install the apk, just reboot your phone

Do you mean the set permissions check boxes? Then long press the pasted app and select permissions. Then select the desired permissions (generally user-rw, group-r, other-r, for system apps). Then just reboot the phone.

Make a backup of current bootanimation of you wanna change.
boot faster
any ideas how to make the phone boot faster? First time I switched it on, I thought it was broken. Stupid loading. Any way to delete stupid logo booting etc.? Just boot ASAP?
the first boot is always slow, then eventually is OK.
Can you also remove bootanimation from CM v12?
Thanks!

I haven't been here on XDA for a year and you quoted me yesterday =)
Just be sure that you have read/write permissions set in RootExplorer, paste bootanimation.zip and set permissions to rw-r--r--.
Reboot and enjoy your new bootscreen

Mark your bootanimation.zip by touching it for a second or two.
Then you should get a three dot menu in root explorer, press it.
Find permissions and enter.
Check boxes
First row (owner) read - write
Second row (group) read
Third row (others) read
Press "OK"
Baam, you're done

No need to buy an app.
ES File Explorer has options to browse as root and to mount /system as rw.

Down in its settings you will find two options: one to browse as root and another to mount the /system to read/write.

Check the options "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System". Then click the "Favorites" on the top bar, select "/", navigate to /system/etc/, find gps.conf and delete it.
Thanks

i did reboot opened google maps and it showed exactly where i was. And the problem that bothered me was me keeping gps turned off all the time only to find that it would turn itself on which I do not like. I want to disable it permanently because I don't think its nessecary for basic phone and web service. I dont feel that my movements should be tracked for any reason it's just weird! If I am correct the phone service is done through the wireless connection not gps?
Shouldn't u prefer changing ROM?
Problem solved and closed! The original instructions are correct & results are as originally claimed in first reply to the op. For some reason it didn't delete properly the first time,I fixed this by restoring my backup & re-attempting. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED
Well I could have helped, but I'm an optimus one user, so I don't know which one is a stable optimus v rom...asking an optimus v user will be better...

download the file from your phone in the thread above and "move to" system >app ... its a piece of cake. also dont forget to change permissions. rw r r ...your phone will either force close or reboot. dont panic. if its force closing just reboot it.

yeah just long press the file and chose "move to" it will ask if you want to replace the existing filt (make sure your file is named SystemUI.apk exactly) select ok/yes and it will do the rest. to change permissions long press the systemui.apk and go to properties. select change permissions and check the first 2 boxes in the first row and only the first box in the the other rows. then when you back out it will start the force close or reboot.
edit: when you select "move to" then navigate to the system>app folder and hit okay then youll be prompted to replace the existing file
also dont be sorry about asking questions. thats how you learn. i for one understand not wanting to bork your phone so, although i dont know a whole lot ill be glad to help anyway i can, you can PM me if you wish.

I'm at work now,I'm gonna try it in the AM. I'll let you know.
So, long story short I rooted my phone with the sole intention of getting rid of bloatware... I did that, and along with it deleted something I now regret. I deleted the file that allows you to choose live wallpapers(along with the wallpapers themselves.) Is there anyway for me to get this back without having to lose my phones current state? Thank you in advance.

It's not allowing me to install it! Whenever I go to install it on my phone, it says the install fails.
Have you checked Install From Unknown Sources? I think it's under security options.

If you are trying to replace a system app, you probably need to push it to system and set permissions as rw- r-- r--. Many system apps will not install.
Thank you sir. I knew there was something I was forgetting.

How do I go about doing that? I appreciate the help you guys are giving me.
You need a root level file browser app like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer. Navigate to where you have the file on your phone (I recommend putting it somewhere easy to find like Downloads folder), copy the apk (long press, select Copy). Go to the root of your phone. It's named / just that symbol. Then scroll down to system, tap that. Then tap app. Inside the /system/app folder paste the apk. Depending on which file browser you have, you change permissions differently.

Everytime I try and change permissions of anything it says "Sorry, operation failed." any thoughts?
Mount system as RW. Default is RO (Read Only as opposed to Read Write).

U need ti replace it and use es explorer and go to system/media and hold on the file and click on the 3 dots and go to properties in properties go to permissions and Grant read to owner,group and other and write permission just to owner
