I am running JustAnotherCrowd's modified 1.3 ROM. By default install android can't download. Apparently all you need to do to fix it is chmod a folder, I tried that like 50 different ways and was still unable to download from market. Finally I ADB removed the AndroidMarket.apk and .odex from my app_s folder. Then I took the package out of his rom and ADB Installed AndroidMarket. Needless to say it didn't work, android market just crashes when I launch it. Any way to fix this?
fixed this myself by ADB pushing the AndroidMarket.apk and .odex directly into the app_s folder and resetting..... now I understand how that folder works...
still can't download though.
If I want to change an .apk file on my phone is using the Push adb command the same as just using Root Explorer removing the file I want to replace and just copying new one in its place? Are the results the same either way?
Thanks
It depends?
90% of the time unless I'm told to specifically copy over the existing and reboot is just copy the app to my phone and use ES File Explorer and have it install that way.
The other method (since I'm cheap and lazy... well ok and broke) is using ADB / SU to copy the app into the directory and reboot the phone.
you could do that , you could also put all the files that you need on your sd card...download super manager and move them from sd to /system/app or whatever you need to do ...
I was wanting to try a different Camera.apk. I was able to use Root Explorer rename the current camera file(so I still had) and then copied new one in it's place and it did fine.
Thanks
I recently installed aospGBMod and would like to install Quickoffice. I know that I have to push the apk file into the system/app folder, but I'm not sure how to do so. Can this be done using the terminal emulator and if so what are the commands? Thanks for your help!
You could use one of the following methods:
1. Once connected via USB and having your USB debugging on: adb install <path_to_apk>
2. Move the apk file to the SDcard (doesn't matter where), enable "Install from unknown source" under manage applications and then use a file manager to access the apk, it should ask you to install it... go ahead and install
3. Execute following commands:
adb remount
adb push <location/apk file> /system/apps/
adb remount
adb restart
Hope this helps.
It didn't work. The apk file that I was using was from a sense rom. I wonder if that makes a difference. Is there a way that I could copy the apk file from CM6.1 and push it into the system/app folder? Has anybody else gotten this to work?

Like a pro I deleted my mail.apk trying to install another one and could not install the new one.
If your stuck like I was here is how to get your mail or other app back
place .apk file in android sdk platform tools folder
start cmd
cd to android sdk/platform tools (default C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools)
adb push mail.apk /system/app/mail.apk
done
mail package I used Mediafire /?crb9oat6dt1n53l (can't post links)
Stock apps can be found on this site
It should work with others but I know it works with mail
You Will have to restart if the app uses internet
dont forget to chmod 755
that's why you should always backup with tibu before uninstalling anything
Hi,
just installed GALACTUSMOD 4.2 XXLT5, i wanted to push/move stock FMRADIO.APK and EMAIL.APK. I already installed Root Explorer to be able to push .apk. but i have one problem. /system has RW option, /system/app no RW option. i tried the other way of pushing using terminal yet still cant locate it. does anyone can fix this? or does anyone can make a tutorial to enable the RW option for /system/app so i could able to move apk's I wanted to have on my phone.
You can't locate what? Check in /preload/symlink/system/app folder. I still don't get what you are trying to achieve. Push apk to phone from pc or?

Not sure of the method you are using, but try this.
1. enable USB debugging. Connect phone to PC and open terminal / cmd.
2. run command adb devices to make sure the device is listed.
3. adb root.
4. adb remount
5. adb push Email.apk /system/app
then manually change the permission of the app using root explorer or use chmod command.

Hello sir,
I've read again all the details of GALACTUSMOD, it says
"My ROM no longer uses System/app! this has all been symlinked to Preload.
so any MODS/THEMES Etc need to be Preload ONLY!!!"
i guess im not gonna able to push or either move apk to system/app
You still can.
