If they are system apps, you can't just install them.
Needs root.
Grab a root browser, find the file u want to install.
Move or copy it and paste it in system/app
Then "set the permissions" and reboot.
Not all apps work, they might be device specific!
Life!

Will this work on axura 2.2.5.7?
Update: I tried to install this but it didn't work. :-(

I downloaded and installed it right from this thread....didn't use root explorer. What is the correct way to install this, if mine was wrong.
*** Sent from my Samsing Vibrant (Axura 2.2.5.7) using xda app
Root Explorer or adb push to /system/app. Don't try to install like a normal app.
I just installed root explorer. Is this [LINK] a good tutorial on how to use RootExplorer... I couldn't find a step by step tutorial on xda.
root explorer is easy to use.
its just like using the stock files, but you can see other things that require root.
if your installing a app, and it won't let you install by just clicking it, then you go to the file, menu, copy/move, then go to system/app/ then paste/move it there, and then get out of that app, and in your app drawer, the app should be installed.
I'm running Cyanogen Mod on my Vibrant, and trying to get this APK installed. Using Root Explorer, I copied/pasted the APK to the system/app directory, but this didn't do anything.
Other things I tried:
- Opening all permissions to the APK that is in the system/app directory
- Rebooting
- Verifying that "allow non-market apps" is checked
- Using Root Explorer to browse to app, selecting it and choosing "install"
Nothing is working. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this an incompatibility between the Task Manager "JobManager.apk" and Cyanogen?
Thanks in advance for anyone's advice.

More than likely, its an incompatibility issue between I'm assuming a 2.2 ROM and a CM7 which is 2.3.

I'm running Project V(6-11-11) w/ Bali 1.6.5uv. I just got an email to update my swype. So I download swype installer, delete my version of swype using titanium backup, download new version, go to install and everthing is going great. Then it says "application not installed".
I've tried a couple of times always with the same results.
Anybody else having this problem or know what I'm doing wrong?.....thanks
Use root explorer to search for all swype related files, delete them. Then run new updater

Do you know where the files that i should delete are located?

You should only have to delete Swype.apk in /system/app and libSwypeCore.so in /system/lib. Reboot and it should install then.
That worked jneal9, thanks. It was the libSwypeCore that was holding it up. TB deleted the apk.
Good job, as always for updates, make sure you go to the Root, as this has happened before, swype is better if not Awesome. Good new update.
I want to use an apk file from the stock firmware in a custom rom that's based on the the same stock rom so i copied it into system/apps and set permissions and installed it but it tells me that application not installed.
I tried apktool and i used framework apks to start with from the custom rom then i decompiled my desired apk file and built it
then i took it to my phone and tried to install it but "application not installed" was what I got again
so what should i do ? this problem happens alot when taking apk from one rom to another rom .
U mean after push into system then u install it again?

After put on system/app n set the correct permission, JUST REBOOT YOUR PHONE. No need to install again with native installation.

Hi! I am running OMJ's 1.7 ROM on my HTC One. The only thing missing from this ROM is the voice dialer from Cyanogenmod, which, for me, is the best voice dialer on Android. I've extracted the .APK from a CWM backup, but when I try to install it using a file manager I get the message "There was a problem parsing the package" Does anyone know of a way that I can get this to install? Thanks.

Did you check install from unknown sources in settings?
May be the file is just corrupted?

The file might not be corrupted its just not compatible with the present android version.
Please make a backup of your current ROM and try the following.
try pushing the apk to system/app via root explorer and then set permission rw-r--r-- and restart your phone. see if the icon appears in app drawer.

Hello Try placing the .apk directly in to the "System/apps/" file in the internal storage. You can do that by using "root" file managers such as Root Explorer. Thank you for consulting the forums, and please click the "Thanks" button if I helped

Hello there people!
I've installed a custom rom and would like to add some apps as system apps.
I thought I'd use Root Explorer to do this.
I copied my apps to SD-card, and from there to /system/app/ and changed permissions.
Still, my apps does not come up in my launcher.
Have I done anything wrong?
Thanks for the help!

If the apps you install are not compatible with the android version you're using they won't show up. The quickest way to check this is to doubleclick the .apk on the sd-card and see if it will install.. They will be in your user/app if they do, but you can move them from there to /system/app if you want. If they give an error when installing they're not compatible.

They are compatible with the Androidversion, that much I know.
But they will not install if I doubleclick on them. That didn't work with another rom either, but it worked installing them using Root Explorer.

If it worked they would show up in your launcher.. If they won't install using the 'normal' method, they are not compatible with your phone.

Is it really a difference between MiniCM7 and a ROM based on MiniCM7?
Those apps works on MiniCM7 then, but not on another ROM based on it.

its simple
change permissions of the apk you pasted in /system/app to the following :
r w --
r -- --
r -- --
now reboot your phone, the app will show on your launcher now
