Hey.
Im trying to add Root Explorer to a ROM, so whenever I install that ROM, Root Explorer is installed. But Im having problems.
I tried adding Rootexplorer.apk to system/app but when I install ROM and try to run it, it force close and says something about (com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer)
Then I tried to add rootexplorer.apk to data/app
Doesn't appear installed.
I really don't know how to do it and need help. I don't know if im doing something wrong...
i think when you ad any .apk too system/app you need to change the permission to rw-r--r-- and then reboot it should work!!

The problem is that im adding the .apk to a .zip file
So I can't set any permission until I install that .zip
Camera.apk and mms.apk added to system/app and they worked.
Rootexplorer.apk won't =/

Im sure I have used ROMs that come with root explorer installed.
Not sure how they did it, but there must be a way.
I download ROM.zip and trying to add rootexplorer.apk
thats it

i think when you make a ROM you need a software that can also set the permissions in the zip file i had seen it yesterday but i dont remember the name
i saw it in the development section in a ROM making guide see if you can find it all the best !!
There's no need of any such software. Whenever a rom installs,all the required permissions are set automatically by the updater-script. And well, if you are planning to release the ROM on xda, Do *not* include root explorer in it. Root explorer is a paid app and adding warez to roms is not allowed on XDA.

So, i have some sgs2 stock apk files, how can i install them to my custom ROM sgs2 ? if i try to install them it says "X App not installed" (sorry for bad translations)
and some say "You have allready installed same named package, which signature is in conflict with this package"
Try to rename tha apk in apk.bak and paste the new one by root explorer or similar giving sama permission
use thanks button!!
Is it an AOSP custom ROM? If it is, the frameworks are incompatible and you will never succeed.

Try this:
First you obviously need root.
1. Using any file explorer (e.g. Root Explorer, Astro, or ES File Manager) copy the apk files to /system/app directory
2. Mount the directory (Look for "Mount R/W") so that the files can be modified.
3. Change the Permission of the apk files (usually done by press-holding the file and selecting the appropriate menu selection) to rw-r--r--
4. Reboot the device
This should automatically install the apk files at the next boot.
It wont let me copy those apk's to system/app folder. and i didnt find mount r/w from any explorer. my rom is Omega's ics 4.0.4
srry for repost but i found mount r/w and i managed to copy apk's to system/app folder, now just rebooting and i will see if that works
E: It didnt install those apk's, i did just like u said :s

that's not good.
I've used this method to install stock swype and taskmanager apks to cm9 and it worked for me.
Did you update the permissions?
If you have, sorry, I can't help you further. I've read somewhere about "deodex" that may have got to do with it, which i'm not quite sure about.
I've also noticed that apks that are specifically designed for TW don't work on other ROMs.
good luck

Sorry no. That'd be like trying to install Mac software on Windows. Not gonna work. Touchwiz apps cannot be installed on an AOSP ROM.
Hi guys!
Could someone upload the original SamsungCamera.apk, please? Because when I'm tried to install HX Camera mod, i put the two files into a zip, when the Root Browser crashed. The two files were gone, and the zip became corrupt. After this, i put the mod to system\app. On the first run, it worked, but after a while it crashed. I run the camera again and it crashed after a time, again, and again. So I decided to try the video. And now it doesn't even want to start. So that's why i request the stock camera, and please upload as soon as possible. Thanks.

So, I downloaded this app and I've moved it to /system/app folder and I've tried to install it and it simply says "not installed". I've been searching the net for days now. I've done the following.
1. Root access for Apps and ADB
2. I deleted the CN 9 mod camera app in the /system/app folder (Is there something else that I need to delete?)
3. Installed Busy Box, Astro, ES File Explorer and Easy Installer
4. I successfully installed other stock apps such as S Voice.
I've found similar questions on the net, but no answer. Please help me out!
Set permissions to read write execute / read /read usint root explorer.
Reboot in recovery , wipe cache and dalvik.
Reboot.
That should do the trick

Thanks but no dice. I narrowed it down to few possible reasons, all of which I would need help with.
1. Even though, my options say that I'm rooted for "Apps and ADB", I don't think I'm "Fully rooted" as Android Commander still says "no root".
2. I don't have the right drivers. I was told that the "service drivers" are different than the normal USB drivers I get when I plug in my phone and maybe that's why Android Commander might not fully recognize my phone.
3. Permissions. I keep reading about read/write permissions, but maybe the options that I'm looking at is not the same "R/W" in question. I don't know.
4. Everything is correct and I just don't know what I'm doing
So, I realized that the app is a "read only" apk and it wont let me change it's permission in Root Explorer. Is there a way that I can change it? Or does anyone have another SG3 camera apk?
So, after extensive research, it has been reported that particular app doesn't work on custom roms.

U can change it actually in root explorer. At the top right there's R/O, click it so it'll be R/W.. from there u can change its permission. I know this is pretty obvious, but this may help u out. cheers!

Sometimes we can use them by copying apk to data folder. Just copy the apk file to "/data/app folder and sey the permission. And reboot.

Hi very_lie, need specifics, what method are you using- ADB? Are you rooted? What app- is it compatible with your device, app store(play/aptoide) will tell you yea or nay. Assuming you are rooted, use a good file manager, go into settings of the file manager, give it root permissions, and change mount system folders to writable, they will be read only originally. Find out where the app needs to go. For example, earlier today, I replaced talkback app because the version that came with custom ROM force closed. Google came out with an update recently that works for me. In file explorer, went to /system/app to find out what its called- talkback.apk. Downloaded v. 3.5 from aptoide(be careful), renamed it talkback.apk. go to /system/app, deleted older talkback.apk, go to data/dalvic cache and delete system @ app @ talkback.apk @ classes.dex Took renamed apk, copied it(from sd), just long press on the file and options come up, select copy. Navigated to /system/app and paste it there. Reset permissions, again long press hit permissions, will probably at rw-rw-rw, change to rw-r--r-- read write, read, read. Reboot. Upon reboot, may say android is upgrading-all is good-dalvic cache is building. Now with certain apps you will want to delete its data- in /data/data. For this app didn't need to. Also some apps can't be put in /system/app. On my phone HTC Evo 3d, ones like facebook, Twitter, translate and other google app can. Ones like Skype n dropbox cannot- they forced closed and can cause others to misbehave. So open up your app n see if it works. Go back into file manager, /data/data and make sure your app's permissions are rwxr-xr-x. Hope this helps, follow this same format when putting"forcing" app on data partition- /data/app

I've got a old version of APK editor pro , that I can use . Version 1.00 to bypass any install errors .. don't ask me how to get it though. Regards :angel:
Of course I could also have flash stock firmware again but I needed a simple solution to use the media I had available at that moment, only two Note 8 (mine and my wife's to extract the apk) and little 3g signal (when I had) to find a solution.
I appreciate the recommendations after having solved the problem but the object of my post was to thank for the help, the rest are anecdotes.
Regards

Ok so now your phone is working right ?
So now download Root browser from playstore
Then open it and now go to device /system/Apps / here now find Camera.apk and delete it after that go back to your sd card copy camera.apk and move it to again above location and set permissions on it , they must be look like RW-R-R
Thats it your done.

Yes, its working now. If it's not too much can you provide some links for that -rw-r-r ? Coz what i find is rwxr-x, and also your talking about permissions (Do i need to tick the check box of Read,Write,Execute on Owner lane?)
I apologize for asking too much questions, thank you for understanding
