Restore camera.apk in S2? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is the proper way to do it? Moving it or copying it to the system apps doesn't work and it says not installed when I try to run the app. Please help.

Have you made sure you have proper permissions to copy the file into the system folder?

Just install it with Android Package Installer doesn't work? Just tap onto the .apk in the file manager. I don't think it's necessary to move it to /system..

Unfortunately it is necessary to copy the apk file into system......but in addition to this, you need to set the correct permissions and then re boot.
Trying to install the apk as normal (with the package installer) simply won't work.....
The apk needs to be copied to......
Root directory>>system>>app
Set the permissions to....
rw-r--r--
(It'll look something like this....)

}
Then re boot.
During the re boot, you'll see a message that says "android is upgrading"
This is simply the Odex file for the apk being created and is nothing to worry about.......

[Q] Samsung Email app (split screen version) movable on MIUI or other devices?

Tried to copy the Samsung version of the stock Email app to my current MIUI rom that i'm using but it's just not showing up.
I was told that I could copy it from the zip of the custom rom (deoxed) and copy it to the system/app and set the proper permissions, then reboot. Still not showing in the list. What am I doing wrong? I love the split screen feature of the samsung email app. I also tried to copy kiesair.apk and videoeditor.apk and still won't work.
Thanks

How would I be able to port MIUI apps?

I'm a big fan of Miui's note app and voice recorder app, they have stunning UI's which is not available for any other app in the market.
What would be the easiest way to port these?
Putting them in system/app with correct permissions doesn't seem to be the fix here
edit: for anyone looking for some other apps from MIUI someone has ported a few, which I don't need, but may benefit others. I haven't tested them
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425553
OK, putting them in the system/app directory with the appropriate permissions should work... Unless they just aren't compatible with ICS Passion... I don't know... But try these methods:
Method 1:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1.) Download the attached .apk's and put them on your phone
2.) Open Root Explorer and hit the "Mount R/W" button. It should say "Mounted as r/w" to the right of the button
3.) Using Root Explorer to push the .apk's to system/app
4.) Make sure that the permissions look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5.) Click Ok
6.) Reboot device
7.) Test the apps
Method 2:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1.) Download the attached .apk's and put them on your phone
2.) Just try to install them as is
But just to see, you should go download those ported apps you put a link to and see if they work for you.
Tried first method, didn't work.
Will download the ported apps later on and then try them.
thanks for trying to help

and download the package, then simply choose your language and push via adb or simple copy and paste with any root explorer app to /system/app remember to fix permissions and then reboot

If u r rooted u can download the zip, move the apk to your system/app
And move the libs to the correct location. Just extract the zip and you will see the folders and corresponding files, just copy paste accordingly, and remember to fix the permissions ( match the permissions to like files)

Archiving/zipping problem with ES File Browser...

Every time I try to create an archive or zip file from a folder I get an error saying it failed because permission was denied, refused by system.
Any ideas? I have a rooted room and I have all the settings in ES File browser set correctly...

I'm assuming you have the "mount file system" checked. If you do, you may have to clear data and start over. Also, make sure it still has root access. A simple reboot may do the trick. I had an issue the other day, and a reboot cleared the trouble.

So you're trying to create a zip? You're hitting select, highlighting the files, and then trying to compress?
Sent from Galaxy Note
Umm have you tried just zipping it on your sdcard and then just moving the entire zip to /system/media?

Yes, I'm long pressing on a folder and selecting compress/encrypt.

Well it appears to happen when long pressing a folder and trying to archive the entire folder... Weird, if I multi select individual files I can then archive.

Just tried it myself without issue. At least you found a work around.

Ask for help in the help section...isn't that obvious?
install a root explorer (es file explorer is good)
go into root of handset and look for a folder called " RES"
copy the stweaks apk
the go to System/app
and paste stweaks in there set the permitions to RW-R--R--
reboot and stweaks will work
