Hi All,
My first post .
Here is the situation , brand new ( or factory reset ) Samsung device ( for example Samsung S7 ) with its genuine rom , I want to insert an app into its rom with its app settings ( App settings like email , app permissions , registration code ... etc ) .
My target is , even When I do factory reset, my app ( or apps ) still there with their settings and permissions .
I'm not sure if I can use Odin to do that or not . or what should i do .
Can someone help me step by step .
Any help will be much appreciated.

You have to obtain root and then you can copy the app from /data/app/ to /system/app or /system/priv-app. Then it will be on the system partition and survive a factory reset.

I have the same worries, I will try to obtain root and see if it works.

Is there any other place that's saves app setting and permission

Yep. Typically it's just a folder with an apk inside it. Sometimes it will have an OAT folder as well, but not often. However I'm not familiar with that particular app.
As for the permissions, you'd have to decompile the said app and edit the manifest and resign it. This isn't hard, but can be tricky if you're not familiar with all of the tools involved in the process. There shouldn't really be a need to do this, though. The app needs certain permissions to run properly, most likely.

I don't understand your point , why should I edit the AndroidManifest.xml file of the app , I want the the app to be given all the permission it needs silently ( Without asking the user if he wants to allow this permission or not ) , an example of the that is the google play app ( the store ) , it comes as default with all android devices and of course needs permissions but never asked for it .
this how the tutecaller folder looks like

as now x10 has a root so is it possible o hav app2sd and custom bootscreens for x10 mini? original bootscreens are in folder system,etc,semc,bootslideshow.
...this should be easy i think. To change the boot animation, just replace the png files with edited ones. I'll try to make some other animation during the weekend.
ya tht would be grt if u get it successfully done please post a tutorial cause i m still doubltfull how to do it.
ok, so I made a quick trial, I just removed the saturation from the current animation and it works, now I have it only BW without colours.
The way how I made it is that I copied the png files from metioned folder to my PC, modified it and put it back to the device, after reboot it works. So I will try to create some new animation during the weekend (maybe some proposal draft tonight).
So this is just a confirmation that it works.
I assume that it is required to keep number of used files, that it is not possible to change it without changing some code which calls all the pics. But I think 26 frames is enough to replace the current one with some funny animation
cool! will try it also and wating for some awsm animations anything about app2sd?

Any chance you could explain in noob talk how to install your startup screen, I don't know what program or commands to use

Sent from my E10i using XDA App
-first you need your device to be rooted
-download zip posted here
-extract to your SD card
-use Root Explorer to copy all the *png files from SD card to this folder:
system/etc/semc/bootslideshow
-of course you need to activate the permission to overwrite the files in the device, you can do it simply in Root Explorer, there is a button for it in top right corner (do it before you copy files to the device, otherwise it will not copy the files there)
-when done, just reboot your device and new animation should be there

Root exploreer is a paid app. You need a rooted phone, and an app called market access to see it.

You need to use the android SDK, more precise the adb. Try searching the web for a method to push and pull files from your phone and setting up the SDK on your OS.
Nice bootscreen, thanks darebak
can be done entirely on phone, using root explorer, I know cos I am running the bootscreen from this thread, I prefer to not use adb personally if I can avoid it, just prefer to be lazy and use apps

If you go to Definitions, Applications do you see the application in the list? If so, just try uninstalling it. Also, check the "running processes / services" to see if it's active or merely installed and with a shortcut icon in the launcher.
Another thing to try is going to the Market/Google Play and checking "My Applications" with the menu key to see if it's in there and can be removed.
No can't see it anywhere. I can only see the short cut on home screen.

Try using Astro file manager to check system/app. You dont need root to just look, only to be able to change the root files.
if i were you i wont mind installing my stuff again and
1: would have reflashed using odin
2: factory reset my device. (obviously you will be going this path i assume)
factory reset will wipe your phone and internal storage.
i would remove the sdcard as im sure tht is the culprit and has some nasty stuff.

Android is based on linux
Linux DON'T have virus
Will android have virus?
It makes me laugh when people says they use android antivirus. (no offense)
That's not a virus dude, just be sure you dont install untrusted apps with suspicious permissions (like connect to internet permission, or superuser, on apps that dont need it.. now thats suspicious ). Android "viruses" are just apps wich leak your personal information, as credit card numbers, passwords, etc. Not like windows, wich I consideer is a virus itself.
What to do?, dont download unknown apps, and download a permissions manager, so you can check out whats going on. For now a factory reset should fix the issue. If is on other place, then just root and flash another rom.

I have and always have the his for installing from untrusted sources unticked. I also have background data unticked to saves battery. Auto update is off because not all updates are good. I'm not saying it is definitely a virus but the way This app has appeared from thin air; it definitely is suspicious.
I've never rooted or flashed this phone so no chance of superuser.

Situation:
-I have a rooted device Samsung Galaxy Ace [GT-S5830L] Android 2.3.4
-I accidentally deleted with Titanium Backup my default browser [Internet 1.0 (1)]
-Therefore I installed Dolphin which is not that bad.
Problems:
-Now wherever I try to watch any youtube video I'm just able to see the loading circle without loading the video.
-I can't use the default browser.
-I lost the voice app to type.
I've tried without good results:
-Use my friends phone [exact same one I have] did a back up with Titanium Back up, copy the backup to my phone and tried to restore.
-I downloaded several [internet.apk] [browser.apk] for my phone and tried to install with Optimize toolbox and from manage applications.

So for the file to be accepted by the phone you need to change the file so it has system access. That feature is built in on most root file explorers

I've consider getting a ROM but I need a functional ROM and I see a lot of them w/bugs on the camera, wifi, gps, ect... Is there any stable ROM that works over networkbands 900/1800?
Why not re-install your current rom (if you are happy with that) from sammobile via odin perhaps?

If you still have the zip file from your rom, you can copy the original files from it to your phone.
It should be in /system/app (copy both browser.apk and browser.odex). Make sure you put all the correct permissions (mine has all permisions for reading and owner permissions for writing).
Can I get that system internet apk file I also have same problem
well here you guys go.....title kinda says it all. this enabled the translucent navbar/lockscreen/statusbar on google's android 4.4 ota...just push the framework-res.apk to /system/framework/ and you should be set..tested on my nexus 10
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291677144
Just installed it and seems to work great, although its lagging a bit now (don't know if more so than before).
Thanks very much!
Ugh, I cannot seem to get this working. I've tried pushing it through adb while in recovery (I get no root access while it's on) but when I boot the framework-res.apk is not the one i pushed (file size doesn't match) and I also do not get transparent bars. I tried using ES File Explorer to push it, but then the whole tablet refused to boot afterwards and I had to restore nandroid. How did you push it?
Maybe i am dumb, but i get an access denied error when i attempt to push this to system/framework/. I tried moving it manually through root explorer and i got stuck in a wicked boot loop. do i somehow need to give my adb commands su privileges?
So anyone who did this can you explain how? With adb? Or root explorer?

It works great with Nova launcher. You could copy your old framework-res.apk before doing this so you can easily revert back. Honestly you wont want to if you are using nova launcher.

I suggest 2 options:
1) Copy using file manager
1.a) Install Total Commander
1.b) With TC, extract from your ROM zip the SecMMSxxx.apk file to sdcard
1.c) With TC, check if there is one /system/priv-app/SecMMSxxx/SecMMSxxx.apk there ... if so, delete it.
1.d) With TC, copy SecMMSxxx.apk you extracted to /system/priv-app/SecMMSxxx/SecMMSxxx.apk
1.e) With TC, call Properties of the APK and set permissions accordingly
1.f) Reboot
2) Flash using Recovery.
2.a) Extract SecMMSxxx.apk from your ROM
2.b) Upload it somewhere
2.c) Gimme the link and I will cook a flashable ZIP that will overwrite and set permissions
2.d) Be xtremely happy
