How to change launcher wallpaper? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have an android TV box which came with its own launcher, it has a default wallpaper but there is no option to change it. I have found the launcher apk in the pre install folder and extracted it with Apk easy tool and zipped it back and tried to install (app install by directly clicking it) but it wont install says failed then i put the apk in a firmware and zipped it with windows (send to compressed folder) and tried to install the firmware but it also failed.
Could anyone tell me whats wrong or any idea? or is there any software to change it directly ?
Thanks

Market installs the apps in /data/app and after installation it removes the temp installation files..
So is there no way to copy those .apk files before they are deleted ????
The apk is in /data/app just backup that one if you have to. The apk in that directory can be used over and over again to install on any phone you want.
I searched through astro but nothing is there in that directory ??????????????
The folder needs to be accessed with root permissions.
Via ADB shell or i believe there is an application called root explorer which does it with UI.
Astro, tools, backup - works for me
Thanks very much.....
One problem with this is, you only get common file names like
downloadfile-1.apk and so on. you wont get the app name on the file name. so everytime you copy it you have to run it and see what app that is.
That is one down matter. other than that its ok!

[Q] File manager problem

I've been making an android rom for my chacha, All Is going well apart from adding a file manager. I've tried with 3 different apps but none of them will install. In the log.txt from CWM its the first thing that gets installed but it just doesnt show up anywhere. What could I be doing wrong?
Get the file manager you like the best and pull the apk using adb or find an apk backup app on the market. Once you have the apk add it to the /system/app folder inside your rom.

Cannot install apps by copying apk's to /app

Hi
Ever since I've upgraded to new Sammy JB, I cannot simply install any app by CWM zip or manually by copying the apk to /data/app or /system/app
If I copy the apk and restart it won't install. If I use root explorer and go to the apk location (i.e /data/app/) I see it has a generic android icon. If I click on it and select install, It the parse error.. However, if I copy or move this apk to anywhere on the sdcard, the original apk's icon will restore and i can now install it by clicking it... I tried changing permissions but it did not help... I tried full factory reset and installing another JB based rom (LS8 or LSD WanamLite or NeatROM) but I always get the same problem. Placing the apk on /preload/symlink/app did not work either...
Any ideas what could be the problem?
Thanks

[Q] APK file type not being recognized to be used with APK_OneClick

First off I will say this is the greatest tool I have ever came across and I am thankful for anyone that had hand in its production. The tool of course is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873466 and it has been working great for me. But earlier today I used winrar to open a com apk file and edit a specific txt file however I accidentally didn't un-click the "use as default program" box and now right-clicking and apk file will not display the decompile option or install to phone option any longer. I figured since the default program had been changed it was not being recognized by one click apk any longer so I deleted the default program for the apk file type in the registry and uninstalled then re installed the shellext for APK_OneClick however the right-click apk options still will not show. I can recompile folders to APKs but nothing else. Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated and thanks in advanced it is driving me crazy.
I am assuming my problem is fro the whole winrar accident as the icon provided with OneClick no longer is displayed for apk files either I just can't solve the issue.
I have tried open file with whe right clicking apks and it will allow me to select the decompile file in the APK_OneClick folder manully but then after recompiling the disarm folder back into an APK it fails to install to the phone via USB and after moving it to the phone it has a parsing error. Any help on how to fix the right click problem or at least fix my parsing issue would be much appreciated. Thank you all!

Q3 MT7891C missing systemui.app

Hello!
I have managed to root the tablet and then started removing some apps with Titanium backup app. Unfortunately I accidentally deleted an app starting with syst.... - did not see the whole name. The tablet restarted and now there are no back, home buttons and slide menues from above, no multitasking. The Android version is 4.2.2. I have managed to install some hover buttons, CW custom recovery. Found the rom and downloaded it. I guess the app that I am missing is in system.img file? How can I extract /browse the contents? There are some img extractor apps but i cant find a valid link to download such. Is it true that if i find the apk and put it in the system folder the problem will be fixed? Please advise me what to do! I thought of flashing the device with mtk flash tool but i dont have a computer to do this with ?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Regards,
Kamen
Hello,
I have managed to extract the Systemui.apk and systemui.odex files from the system.img firmware file. Put them in system/app with the correct permissions, restarted - still not working! In the net somebody advised that I try deleting the .odex file and / or install the systemui.apk (installation fails) . No solution again!
Please advice!
