If I look at all the existing .apk files in /system/app, I see that they all have 644 as their permissions. Is that what's usually expected?
If I add a new .apk to /system/app, I have read that I need to set its permissions to 755. Is that true?
I also read that I need to change all the existing .apk files from 644 to 755. Is that true as well? If so, I am curious as to why since I am not looking at changing any of those.

all apk in system must use 644 for the permission, if not, the apk won't be installed, but not all apk/app working if you put in system folder, for example, if you put opera mini in system folder, the application will not even you have set it the permission at 644,
and the best to add/install new app in system use manually way
1. choose apk that you want
2. put in the system/app
3. set permissions to 644
4. reboot
if success, the app will appear on menu,

I uninstalled the stock clock because I thought that would delete the clock widgets instead. Restoring did not help, so I searched the forum and found this: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070083)
According to the thread, I would need ClockPackage.apk and ClockPackage.odex to get the stock clock back. I have found ClockPackage.apk here, so all I need now is ClockPackage.odex. Could anyone please upload the odex file here, please? Thanks in advance.
Help, please. I'd greatly appreciate any help.
are you on a stock rom? how did you uninstall a system app? Guessing you have root so just put the clockpackage.apk in system/app, give it the right permissions, reboot and it'll be fine (hopefully), the phone should generate a new odex for the apk
Extract those original files from your downloaded "Rom" package and copy it to your mobile. Use root explorer to copy the file to system\app and set the right permissions.

Yes, it is rooted. Also, I did put the apk file in system/app and I got the app back on the application menu. However, it crashes whenever I try to run it.

Have you changed the permissions on the parent folder as well? I think deleting files/folders requires permissions on the parent.
Also, what file explorer are you using (don't recognize it from the pic) and does it have root permissions?

Hi,
A friend of mine recently returned from China with a Coolpad 8675, which he gave to me. I tried to install various apps such as Google Search and the Play Store, to no avail. This makes it impossible to use apps like Google+ and Ingress. This is quite annoying, and i was wondering if there was a solution to this problem. I really have no idea how android phones work or how to do stuff like rooting, so basic solutions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
LeCrazyPanda
same here
I am having the same issue.
I installed Google account log in service, and Google play store with successfully I even found those on the Chinese coolpad app store.
My trouble comes with trying to install Google play services, as even when I download it from the coolpad store, the install always fails.
SOLVED
Hi I have one and i had same problem.
First you must root phone, that is simple and here is instructions:
https://translate.google.cz/translate?hl=cs&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsjbbs.zol.com.cn%2F166%2F1606_1657041.html
after that you can manualy install GAPPS.
I get Universal Pico from Paranoid then unzip it on pc and create this pack https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzMLUR1MF4g3RHBqQjBsTGlyVm8/view?usp=sharing
You must copy to Phone disk and manualy copy to system folder directories.
EACH FILE YOU MUST MANUALY SET PERMISSION 644
AND DIRECTORY \etc\preferred-apps\ THAT YOU CREATE MUST SET PERMISSION 755
After that you must restart phone and enjoy
For Copy and set permissions i use Root Explorer that you must manualy install from disk
Sorry for my bad English

I see all these files are APK's. Do I install them like regular APKs? Then how do I grant permissions? I have two left thumbs as far as technology is concerned, so I would sincerely appreciate someone guiding me, step by painful step. Thanks.

Do exactly as @Hagen656 says: copy ALL files from GAPPS, *.apk *.jar *.xml *.so into the corresponding folders from the /system/ folder on your phone. If the folder is not present in /system/ on your phone, copy the entire folder from GAPSPS. You don't have to install anything, just to change permissions to 755 for /system/etc/preferred-apps/ folder and to 644 for ALL files (including the ones from /system/etc/preferred-apps/).
To understand file permissions in Android, read this:
http://androidforums.com/threads/understanding-android-file-permissions.73177/
For changing file permissions, I used ES File Explorer, you can directly download the .apk from here http://www.estrongs.com/?lang=en
After installing ES File Explorer, you need to install ES Permission Manager plugin, which can be found here http://getandroidapp.org/applications/libraries-demo/93311-es-permission-manager-plugin-1-0.html

How can we change our Bootanimation. In my other devices i change it by replacing Bootanimation.zip from System/Media.
But it is not working on this device. How can we change it?
Any comment is appreciated!!
Thank You!!
Try replacing bootanimation.zip in /oem/media

How exactly are we supposed to put our bootanimation.zip into the /oem/media directory? I'm getting permission denied, even if I was able to rename the existing file in ES (I have ROOT and mounted my system partition as RW, but it doesn't let me do the same to /oem)

I had the exact same problem. I was getting permission denied to add the new file to /oem/media. Interestingly, I was able to rename the bootanimation.zip in this folder to bootanimation2.zip. Then the system started to look for the bootanimation.zip located in another folder (/system/media) and there I could manage to replace the file.
