How to Move APK
Move /system/app to /data/app
I copy APK but I can not see the phone menu.
V /data/app is name example:
com.sonyericsson.nameapplication-1.apk
So you want to move a system app to your normal apps?

Thanks but I used link2sd and converted a system app to user app and rebooted. I can see the app in /data/app but it is not appearing in app drawer or in installed applications in settings.

I would recommend making sure when you copy the app from /system/app to /data/app that the app has the correct permissions, before you copy the app use an applications such as Root Browser to check what app permissions are required (By app permissions I mean Linux file permissions) then when you copy it to the /system/app folder make sure that the app has the proper file permissions set or else it won't function properly. Also some app's should only run as system apps and shouldn't be moved to the /data/app folder or else they won't function properly.

Hey guys so decided that I would delete the stock browser, and now I want it back. I canut install, it says application not installed.
So what do I do? Change the permissions of the app? Sideload it? Move it to system/apps? Help appreciated.

move it to system/app , change permissions and reboot the phone
I need to know how to convert User apps to System apps. I know Titanium Backup can do it but I don't want to pay 7 bucks for the pro version.
Do I just move the APK from the /data/app to /system/app?
I am on a deodexed ROM so no odex files to move.
If I convert these user apps to system apps will it raise the OOM value? That's what I am after really.
GO Launcher gets killed way to easily. And while I am at it, I what to move GO SMS and Miren Browser if this will work.
If you have problems with Go Launcher quitting, then try the options called "System persistent" and "Prevent Force Close" in the app settings if you haven't tried that.
Yea I have that selected. The thing is, my phone doesn't have alot of memory. I have about 120 MB of ram with all apps closed and only about 40 MB free till android kills apps. So only really have about 80mb.

Friend see this app, can move to system, is good, see the oficial thread in samdroid
forum.samdroid.net/f10/apps2rom-root-move-your-updated-applications-system-rom-5690/
Once you move the apk to /system/app, remember to set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. I'm not sure if this will change the oom value or not, but I think it does. If it doesn't work, try V6 Supercharger & apply the bulletproof launcher. It may help with other memory issues as well. You can also "bulletproof" other apps, but I'm not quite sure how as I haven't played with those options.

maybe you have to generate the .odex files for those new system apps, you moved to system!
like this:
start your terminal emulator and type:
to change in the right directory
cd /system/app
use root rights with su and generate the data
su
dexopt-wrapper Vending.apk Vending.odex
or
dexopt-wrapper YouTube.apk YouTube.odex
and dont forget to set the read write permissions the right way
no reboot and wipe the dalvik cache!
For those not converted apps, how did you convert them?
.. maybe really try to move them not with /system/app mover, but by copy pasting them in a file explorer.

I'm trying to convert 'launcher2.apk' on my LG optimus 1 with offical cm7 into a system app, to replace adw launcher. Any ideas? :confused
In my experience not all apps works good as system apps. I have to try every time an update comes too.

Troubles in Making user apps as system apps
Sent from my HTC Desire X using XDA Free mobile app
I am running MIUI on CDMA and I do not like Google search w. Google now. I used root unisntaller to delete the app off the ROM and installed an .apk I had saved. The problem is when I reboot my phone the original app restores is there a way to permanently keep it the way I want it?

Try this. Go into system/ app folder click on the apk's properties and uncheck all the permissions then delete apk and reboot. Let me know if that helps.
Hello to all,
I would like to know, Android Jelly beans you can install an app as system app?? If it is possible in that folder must be inserted so that it can be installed as a system app?
thank you very much :highfive:
You can't install as system app without root. If you are root, I can help you, but if not, I can't

I'm sorry,
I took for granted that my smartphone was root.
So now you can proceed to tell me how to install an app like app system.
You know me also say that there are advantages to install an app like app system rather than as a normal app?
Some apps have to be installed as system apps, usually ones pulled from other devices or unofficial updates to a system apps which refuse to install from an apk. Besides for apks that won't install normally, I don't really see the reason to install an apk as a system app, unless you want to make it harder to uninstall.
Installing an apk as a system app is done with a rooted device only, by placing the apk in /system/app and changing the permissions to match other system apps. I like to use ES File Explorer.
Depending on the rom (but generally all alow debugging through adb) you should be able to install an apk to system parttion pushing it with adb to the /system/app/ directory
You can also use Titanium Backup or Link2SD to convert any user app to system app, and vice versa. Most of us have at least one of those apps installed, anyway.

did you change the permissions for apk
Please don't do that. Here is the reason - In the Android manifest.XML, there are many permissions which are required by the app. Some special permissions are granted only to system apps. Normal apps cannot have those permissions. So, when you move the system app to data/app you are trying to convert a system app to a normal app. Hence it will never work. However there are a few system apps which can be safely converted to normal apps like the pre loaded Facebook app etc.
