Hello, just got the Thunderbolt coming from Samsung Vibrant. I've rooted and flashed deodexed stock rom, etc.
I want to install the AOSP File Manager and have placed the apk in System/App. I've checked all the permissions and rebooted multiple times but the app still doesn't show up in the app drawer? This worked on the Vibrant, not sure if something is different here?
Thanks for any help.
Weird but I figured it out. The file was named "File Manager -Copy.apk". For some reason didn't notice it. Deleted -Copy and it works fine.
I tried to install Gmail.apk, and decided to use Root Explorer to copy it to /system/app. I changed the permissions, rebooted, and it is indeed in the folder where I left it, but nowhere to be seen in the app drawer. It doesn´t even appear on the manage applications. I want to this to more apps, but if I can´t do to one...
I tried signing the .apk and install it: gives me a parsing error;
I tried signing a .zip file and flash through xrecovery and managed to get the file in the system/app folder, but again, nothing on the app drawer.
I tried using ADB mask, and when I try to push the app into the system, it says it couldn´t install;
I tried command line, using SDK, but doesn´t recognize "adb" command. Tried console emulator, but permission denied.
Is it me or is my mobile picking up a fight with me? Can someone help?
Why dont you just try to download it from the market and install automatically that way?

Because it doesn´t appear on my market... And I also want to install more stuff, like the new blue market from pendo, so I would like to know what to do so I can continue to install more apps like this.
There will be a reason it doesnt appear in the market for you and that will be why you cant install it
WHat rom are you running?

I´m using EWJet with custom kernel, baseband 67.
Try flashing this
Reboot and login to market, accept the agreement.
Then flash this and this in that order without rebooting inbetween

Is it better to erase user data in recovery before flashing gapps?
No you should be fine

Well it seems I need to do a fresh install, since I must have done something wrong to the system files... I flashed Gapps, and ever app appears except the ones from Google (Gmail, Gtalk, etc...). Is google against me today? =)
I think I´m going to flash the rom again and before rebooting, I´ll flash Gapps, what do you think?
Sounds like a plan....
let me know how it goes
No, it didn´t work... After clean install, and flashing gapps, gmail and market disappeared... Maybe some kind of incompability between the Rom and this market?
EDIT: It still appears in the /system/app... But it refuses to appear in the app drawer.
try adding the market widget to the home screen. Long press on it and n choose android widget.
That might work.

Thanks for your effort, but it doesn´t appear the market widget. It´s like the market is only a file that is filling space in the system folder, and that doesn´t have any connection to the rest. It seems this rom isn´t compatible with other markets (which is very weird...).
Thanks for the help. If someone comes up with a soltuion to my problem, I´ll be very happy to hear it.
The only thing I can think of its that you are trying to instal 2.2 versions into a 2.1 rom.
Try finding google apps from eric will's thread about his rom.

Yes I remembered that too, but didn´t know there was gmail and market that were different, meaning that what works in 2.2 may not work in 2.1... If that´s the case, I better give up, since there isn´t any other verion of blue market... Oh well, green it is.
If you flash back to stock with SEUS then make backups with titanium backup you should be able to restore the 2.1 versions of gmail.
As for blue market, I think that's just for 2.2+

I can't seem to side load this app. It side loads on my phone just fine but the app didn't come on my phone like it comes pre-loaded on our tabs. I tried installing via adb and root explorer. If anyone figures it out, please share.

Hi.
I wanted to install system apk from samsung galaxy on my XPlay.
1. when i installed it traditionally i got "app is not installed" or similar.
2. when i moved it to system/app, gave permission and restarted, it still wasnt in app drawer.
Here is my question: what i do wrong? And/or is any other (better/easier) method?
Thx for answers...

Ive had this problem before, but usually it works when I push to system/app, set permissions and reboot. But I think maybe the app just isn't compatible with your phone. What kind of apk is it?
SMemo.apk from galaxy note. Permissions dont work, maybe here is another way?
However i was looking inside apk and i couldnt find anything about phone model and/or resolution to change...

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?
