Hi! I uninstalled "Gallery" after i made a .apk backup, but when i try to install again the galler it said "Application not installed". What can i do? i rly need to install the default gallery.
your permission may not be properly reset.
You have to push it to the system/app folder instead of installing it like usual. Try using root explorer to mount system as r/w (top right corner of root explorer) and copy the .apk into the folder system/app and reboot.

If it doesn't work, then goto system/app and click-install the apk like any normal apk. (Caution-this can be dangerous).
Using root explorer, make sure the permissions are as follows
xx0
xx0
xx0
Alternatively, flash this zip through cwm recovery.

Thank you all! Solved with flashing.

Okay, I had this problem, that I can't create a new folder without root. It worked fine after flashing fserve v18a cfs kernel , it still can create a folder, but after a reboot, I can't create a folder nor rename anymore, but I can move and delete a file and folder.
I tried installing and using root explorer, it worked, but after uninstalling it I can't create a folder anymore. I am using the default one in cm7, astro file manager does not work either.
I checked the owner and group of sdcard under root explorer, it says both 0-root. I can select other options like system.
So can anybody use root explorer and check their sdcard owners? Or have another solution?
Thanks in advanced
EDIT## tried changing owners and groups but root explorer crashed
EDIT2### used file expert and I saw file permissions for owner not tick(read and write), but root explorer is ticked. File expert can't change the permissions and root explorer FCs.

have you tried ES File Manager?
I'm using my evo and my calendar app is from the kings shooter 3d and it's a great calendar app. When I sync'd the calendar app on my ics photon it only shows some of the things. Pretty much anything I manually put on my calendar isn't coming up. I have the basketball schedule, holidays, and other repeating events showing up, but nothing else. I would like to install the other calendar app so I pulled it off the rom and tried to install, but it wouldn't let it. Does anyone know how I can use the calendar app from my evo rom? Or correct the problem from my current ics calendar app? Thank you
Did you just trying installing the apk? Or did you move it into /system/app folder? If you move to that folder with Root Explorer set permissions and reboot it should work. Dont forget to rename the normal calendar to .apk.bak so if it doesn't work you can just rename it back to .apk and reboot and be back to normal.

I pulled the apk file from the rom and emailed it to myself so it downloaded and I tried to install but it wouldn't let me. Oh ok, I'll try your method. I'll have to read how to set permissions. I have a copy of root explorer and that wouldn't work either, but I have Astro and I was able to edit files with it too, but I would like to get my root explorer working also. Thanks wolf

I tried using a few file explorers even root explorer and none will let me change the name. Root explorer actually says cannot be changed because it is read only. I'm using CM7.2 now. How can I make the files read and writable?
Hej,
So I try to push the musicplayer.apk in the system/app folder with terminal, that works as I reboot but it's not installed. but it's in the folder system/app and rw-r-r... do I have to instal it from the system/app folder? or should it automaticly instal it when it reboots?
what am I doing wrong?
grts,
lio
Try installing it normally by transferring apk file to sdcard and installing it using some file explorer, then move the apk from /data/app to /system/app using root explorer and set the permissions to match with those of the other apps

If I try to install it, it says "app not installed". I'll look for a better apk. you know where to find default apps for sgs2? I just like the MusicPlayer.apk from the stockrom. it can sort by folder and it's easy to use!!
and a little question, can I get notifications in my email if someone replies or sends me a message on xda or something. cause I have to check it post by post...
oke found a good musicplayer!!! Mortplayer! it's free and maybe even better...
thanks!!!
Hi!
I have my SGSII with CM10.1, when I copy an APK in system/app and reboot the app doesn't appear.
What's the problem? I assign the correct permision with File Manager but nothing .
Someone help me?
Best regards!
Maxi.
You need to set system to r/w not r/o use root explorer, or in titanium long press the app and tap convert to system app

Can you explain that? I attached the Permissions and Owner, but doesn't appear.
In root explorer find apk you want to move and long press then copy.
Navigate to system>apps and mount as r/w
Then if replacing existing application rename this to app.bak otherwise just paste the app
Change apps permissions to read:everyone write:user only execute no one then tap save. Then reboot your phone and everything should be good
Otherwise in titanium backup (a must have for custom rom users) long press on the app and tap convert to system app
I have a rooted Verizon GS4 and am trying to install an apk as a system app using ES File Explorer. I have root enabled in ES but when I copy the apk from my sd card so system/app I get "permission denied". What am I missing?

Did you grant read write privileges?
Edit:
Nevermind they changed up the layout and settings I do see what youre talking about tho. Its gotta be something witb ESFM because I can paste something to system with root explorer no problem..

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
