I've been on cm7 for a while and all apks install fine but this one from the atrix forum
I put it in sytem/app and made permissions rw-w-w
but when I press install it loads and says "application not installed"
I've also tried rebooting and using terminal but they dont work either
help!
p.s. maybe it might be because I installed (stupidly) the original launcher first and then tried to install this one but I did uninstall the original first but still "application not installed"
You tried both installing normally and putting in /system/apps fixing perms and rebooting? If not boot into cwm and fix permissions after moving to /sys/apps

Im trying to install the stock android sms app on my mytouch. Its all rooted. I pulled the Mms.apk off the cm7 rom I have on my computer. I tried to just put it on my sdcard and install it from there. No dice. I tried to push it to system/app and when I try and install it is gives me a parsing error. I tried changing the permissions and still nothing is working. Any help would be appreciated!

Glad I'm not the only one.......haven't seen the "trial ended" note but it just stopped working today and I thought maybe I had inadvertanly changed a setting.
I can't seem to install the new Swype. I rm'd Swype.apk from /system/app using ConnectBot. When the installer runs, it prompts me that it's a system app. When I select install, I get a green check mark and "Application not installed."
Are there any other files that I have to delete for it to install correctly?

Yeah there is a file or two in system/lib you gotta delete. I remember one but cannot find the other one. So Im stuck where you are too.
*edit Nevermind, you gotta reboot after you uninstall those two files [the apk and the libswypescore or whatever its called.] Then after reboot the new apk will install. Im now on the latest 3.6.84.etc whatever the version number is

I had gotten to the same point. So I copy and pasted a Swype apk from an old Rom I still have (SC 2.9.2) to my system/app to see if that would work but it didn't take. Then without removing the apk, I tried running the installer again and it took. Not sure how or why but I've got swype back.

Thanks much
I've looked around the boards and haven't found someone with this problem yet, and if I am in a wrong form I apologise, new at posting.
Ok here's the problem: On my Xperia Play which is rooted I am trying to install the walkman music player via this tutorial on xperia gamer: (new user can't submit url, so look it up if curious or relevant)
I am trying to move the apk from my sd card to /System/App and it looks like it pasted it, however there is no trace of the file, and if I move instead of copy there is no trace in the source folder either.
When I try and change permissions in the apk it always reverts back as well.
In superuser both file browsers are in the logs and if I remove their SU privileges they ask for them again.
This happens the same way in both file browsers so I'm not sure what to make of this.
Ideas anyone?
This is probably a common problem. This happens due to superuser app. Try installing supersu by chainfire and see whether the problem persists our not.
If the problem persists reinstall busybox
Before following all the above steps you can simply try updating the superuser app

Ok it appeared to be a problem with my busybox install. Everything working perfectly now. Thanks for the help!
ok I recently had to restore my kernel and rom, and this problem now exists again. Updated busybox, Installed Supersu and various different root browsers. Problem Still persists. Anyone have an Idea?
Hello!
After rooting my phone I uninstalled the stock Messaging app with Root Uninstaller. I made a backup of the Mms.apk file. A few days later I tried to reinstall it, but when I run it, it only says "Application not installed".
I've been searching around for hours, tried copying the backed up apk to the /system/app folder, changing permissions, rebooting, flashing various zip packages, wiping the delvik cache, etc, but still it says "Application not installed".
When I go to the /system/app folder with Super Manager, the copied apk file is displayed as Messaging(No install) ?! screenshot: hxxp://i49.tinypic.com/33zd1jb.png
I also tried with some other apks I found online but it doesn't work either.
I know I could flash the ROM, but I'd like to use that as a last resort.
Any ideas/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
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
