but still getting problems
can anyone help please
my rom etc is
foxhound revolver ocelot
kernel abyss 1.2f
thanks
ian
I would like to say a bit thank you to kantjer for helping me with this. so if anyone else has the same problem, this is how it was fixed
I used Root Explorer/root browser to do this.
Navigate to the system/app folder
set to Mount R/O
look for the Phonesky.apk file and delete it
copy the attached Vending.ap to the system/app folder
set permisssions of Vending.apk to rw-r--r-- (owner: read/write, group: read and others: read)
reboot
you can download the Vending.apk here
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rntnmhwsqemrn6w/Vending.apk
thank

Help, I uninstalled "clock 1.0" and can't restore it (system app apparently)
I uninstalled clock 1.0 because i thought it would get rid of the widget of clock pictures I didn't use. I backed up clock 1.0 on titanium backup, but now it won't restore. even after i extract the apk and install it from there manually, it says installation failed.
i don't want to do factory reset because i have already rooted the phone.
help? or point me in a much better clock app than the one that came with the galaxy s2?
Apparenly it was a system app?!? com.sec.android.app.clockpackage
ok, so after some digging i found that com.sec.android.app.clockpackage.apk still existed in system/apps but just wasn't running. I also noticed for almost every .apk, there was a .odex. But for my clockpackage, there was no .odex, maybe that's why it's not working?
on that thought, maybe anyone here can copy their .odex files for the 2 clock .apks and send them to me? Just use Root Explorer to see the system/app folder, mount R/W if you need to, then copy the 2 .odex files and then upload them somewhere? Pls?!?
if you want root explorer, holla at me via pm

Stupid me did exactly the same and has exactly the same problem. Any help appreciated!
Regards, edi
same problem - thanks in advance
Well, found a solution: installed KE7 through Odin, Rootet again, everything was still there except google account binding...
Regards, Edi
THIS IS HOW I SOLVED IT. This is a superior solution to the one above as you do not need to reflash or reroot and you keep all data and settings. Apologies for not replying earlier.
1)keep your clockpackage.apk in system/apps
2)download this .odex file
3)put the file in system/apps, remember to mount r/w in rootexplorer to enable pasting it in there, then mount r/o when finished
4)turn phone off.
5)turn phone on.
(You need Root Explorer, or a similar app that will let you read/write system files) (Pls also refer to this thread)
Here's the odex file.
No success...
Guys, I did all you said here, following the step-by-step, managed to get both files in system/app folder, but still can't see the icon as if it were installed.
I have Root Explorer and Root explorer installed.
I noticed all files were set as "rw-r--r--" so I changed it on both apk and odex... I'm doing this on a Galaxy W running stock 2.3.6...
What am I forgetting???
All and any help will be deeply appreciated...
[Update]
I managed to get the ClockPackage.apk and the ClockPackage.odex from another device (running on 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.6) and now I get the following error while trying to install the apk:
"Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package"
Does anybody know what to do?

Mate, it might sounds silly, but where's system/apps? Can't find it, no matter what pro version of any software I use (MyBackup Pro, ES File Explorer). It's like it's missing on my phone. Can you help me more? I've the same problem for the case.

Did you do what the instructions said? They clearly say 'use Root Explorer'. If you open Root Explorer, and scroll down, you will find the 'system' folder. Inside there will be another, 'apps'. That's what the post says....
How do i install apk as system apk?
I tried to paste the apk's with root explorer to /system/apps and grant permissions of "rw-r--r--" and reboot
but its still don't work..
Is there another way?
You just need to paste the .apk in the External SD card/Internal storage and Install from there. Simple. No need for Root Explorer for that.
Regards.
Alternatively, I usually just email the apk and then open it on the phone. It gives a direct install button option in the email itself, downloads and installs like any other app from the market.
I just installed Cognition S2 1.42 and it removed some of the system app like Social Hub and AccuWeather widget, so i would like to install them again.
In Cognition thread said for installing the removed apps you need to transfer them to "/system/apps".
I tried that but it didn't work, after web searching I found that I need to change the permissions to "rw-r--r--", I tried that ether and it didn't work.
So is there other way to do it?
Thanks for replying
Hello guys, after much of my research on getting old market back on ICSunday ROM by jusada, I finally figured out how to do so.
So let's start.
1. Download Vending.apk (Attached) onto your phone and save it to your SDCard.
2. Get/Open Root Explorer and navigate to "/sdcard" copy "Vending.apk" from there.
3. Mount R/W in "/system/app/" and paste "Vending.apk" in there.
4. In "/system/app/" folder there would be a file called "8007005.apk" rename it to "8007005.apk.abc" (I don't prefer deleting system files, so I just rename them so as to get a backup in case anything goes wrong).
5. Rename your "Vending.apk" (the one you just copied) to "8007005.apk".
6. Change permissions of your "8007005.apk" to "rw-r--r--" and Change owner to Owner: 0-root and Group: 0-root.
7. Rename "MarketUpdater.apk" in "/system/app" to "MarketUpdater.apk.abc".
8. Navigate to "/data/data/" and delete folders called "com.android.vending" and "com.android.vending.update".
9. Reboot your mobile.
10. Finally if you don't see your market downgraded just head over to Root Explorer and navigate to "/system/app/", tap "8007005.apk", when the popup shows up tap "Install" and let it install like a normal apk file.
Voila you have successfully downgraded your market!

On Cyanogenmod, i uninstalled the Updates from Market under Settings/Apps and deleted MarketUpdater.apk.
There is a better way for those roms fixed on the new market. It's automated: search oldmarket on xda it's a free root app.
how to stop market updating itself? i revert to the old one then it update it self once again.

Use titanium backup or any other app that can freeze apps, to freeze market-updater.apk

ICS ROM already comes with updated 3.3.1, so if I uninstalled updates, the market still remained the same.

Grab yourself a copy of Root Explorer (Root needed), head over to "/system/app/", mount R/W and rename file called "MarketUpdater.apk" to "MarketUpdater.apk.abc", finally uninstall updates of market and it would stop upgrading itself.

if you have root explorer [or any other] then you just can remove all read write permission of marketupdater.apk and uninstall current updates
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!!!
1.- Move all these apks to the /system/priv-app folder of the android wear watch, and chmod 644 all apks with adb/terminal or change permissions to rw,r,r and change the owner to System and the group to System with file manager.

Yes I got all intalled ok. I did everything as you said.
I can't figure out what's wrong.
Does UCBrowser open and work?
"Google play services has stopped to work" after this process. I can´t get uc browser or play store working (installing as user apps as shown at step 3) If I move it to priv-app, UC browser works, but playstore´s still crashing. I don´t understand the dummy apks and its purpose...
If I install the dummy and before the user app UC browser, it doesn´t work. It needs to be pushed on priv-app to get networking

Yes I guess it needs to be done first! If you use /system/app mover to move playStore to system then after it reboots install the newer PlayStore apk as an user with ES file explorer then delete the play store apk on the system/priv-app folder and add the older dummy apk again and it should work! I think it needs to be installed to system for real first then update it then move the older dummy apk to /system folder after you've updated it, the point of the dummy apk is to save space! if you want you could just leave the real apk in the System/folder

I don´t understand the steps. If I install something outside from priv-app, it won´t work on network, that´s a fact. I think google play services must be in priv-app also with play store and other google apps, but I don´t have space enought on /system partition (the play store crashes saying google play services has stopped, and I cannot install play services as user app because it says that already exists). Why it already exists? Must I delete the default Android wear Play services and replace with this new package? And what´s the installation order?
1- Install the dummy as user app and move it to /system with permissions, etc.
2- Reboot and install the real google play apk as user app
3- Reinstall the dummy on /system again (mantaining the real Gplay as user app and getting free space on /system)
Is this?
I only got UC browser working while being on priv-app, but nothing with play store... Really I´m trying to get it working
Yes any apps in the system folders get networking! And if you update that app it moves it to /data and still works as long as an dummy apk is in system folder. And yes I might have use the adb -r command to install play services or threw ES file explorer as an update? I'm not to sure

Then, how I update an app for save space on /system? And how I install new play services without corrupting anything?
And what´s adb -r command for?
Sorry for all of that questions, but I´m interested in learning And thanks for all!
Have you tried to install play services apk with ES file explorer or threw adb? Android wear has play services installed already so it's just an update! It's called prebuiltGmsCoreForClockworkWearable.apk on my watch and is in the priv-app folder!
you have to install the app or apps to the /system/priv-app or /system/app folder first - you can use the app /system/app mover or adb or terminal or file manager. then you need to use ES File explorer and install an newer version of the same app and it will be updated and re-installed to the /Data partition where there is more space, it does not remove the apk from the /system folders but it's not used only checked for and wastes space so that's why the dummy apk is used. If you don't want to install other apps to system then just install PlayStore or UCBrowser and leave it in system but there isn't much space 30+mb.
adb install -r package.name.apk reinstalls the app without replacing the data like an update.
Ahh I found what was going on I forgot an apk GoogleAccountManager.apk it don't need to be in the system folder but if you reset the watch it will get deleted too unless it's in the system folder!
Can you upload it please? I'll try it

Hi, may I ask, what is the purpose of doing this? Is it for times when Android Wear becomes unstable?
I have put the apps to /system/priv-app. I chmod-ed them to 644. But i am not able to change user/group.
when in sdcard/Downloads the files are shown as root:sdcard_r. chown system:system filename result in no error, but ls -al still delivers root:sdcard_r
after putting the files in system/priv-app i am shown to have no rights to change user/group (no rights to write on system?). I dont know how to get these rights. Standard linux code doesnt work, necessary commands not integrated in wear?
In the file manager of twrp i dont find any option to change user/group. ES File Explorer is installed, but activation of root explorer returns an error. And yes, the device IS rooted
Edit:
When in /system/priv-app by adb shell su the files are shown root/root as user/group.
So the whole procedure results in:
I can start ES File Explorer (only through native GUI, not wear mini launcher, dont know why) - but i am not able to install an apk by it. Every try results in no app/no gesture. Now i am stuck...
Edit:
Ok, i made it by TWRP/Terminal. baaaaad work with that smaaaall keyboard and big fingers...
but it doesnt look as if that was the big point. File Explorer still cant get root explorer and i still cant install apps...

Do you have root for this? If so how have you granted access if superuser doesnt work yet? Also how do you change the groups? And do the apks need to be in a folder in system/priv-app like they are in our phones? I moved all the apks but none of them installed I have TWRP but im still trying ti work out my root on Sony Smartwatch 3
