For example, Memo? I have memo.apk and memo.odex. My phone is rooted. When I place memo.apk and memo.odex in system/apps folder and click on memo.apk and install, my mobile show message Application not installed.
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks.
Anybody please?
Just copy the apk (don't need odex) in system/app and reboot.
Or create an update.zip and install it via CWM.

I installed this from the market on my legend rom. I have created a nandroid backup of that rom and I'm now rockin the nonsense rom from team-slide (great rom by the way!). However I'm trying to find this on the market now and it seems like it is nowhere to be found. I've tried a variation of searches with no luck. So I thought, well I'll just restore my legend rom backup and adb pull the file from there. It was located in the /data/app as a .zip file while the other apps were .apk. Anyhow I was able to pull the file and its now on my computer. I then did a restore to my nonsesnse rom but I'm unsure how to get the zip file back on the phone. I can adb push it on there but it doesn't 'install' it per sey. Any ideas on how to get this app back on the nonsense rom?
You can place the apk on the sd card and then on the phone you can use astro to install it. If that doesn't work you can connect to the pc and use the "adb install" command.

Part of the problem is that I don't see an apk file. The file is actually .zip in the /data/app path. The other files in the /data/app path are .apk files. Am I missing something here or is the apk file in another path? When I unzip the file on my computer there are multiple folders. If I had the actual apk then I might be in business. Any suggenstions on where it might be hiding?
go to app private in the backup that u got the zip from there should b the apk
update - app private had the apk, installed and working fine, thanks for all the help. So is it safe to say if it is a zip file the apk will always appear in app private? Why make this different from the other apks? Is it just developer specific i guess?
I'm trying to change the icons on the app drawer with Root Explorer but I can't find the correct PNG to replace that on the system/app/"application.apk"/res/drawable/_____.png
Anyone knows the right name of the icon?
Thanks!
res/drawable-hdpi/file_manager_r.png ypu will have to turn the apk into a zip then put your new file into the hdpi folder and change the zip back to an apk then re install
Can I follow this steps with the Captivate or I need to do this on the computer?
Any easy way?
Thanks for the tip!
hi, i changed an image in drawable-hdpi in "phone.apk" (ic_jog_dial_unlock.png) like aceman said, but if i try to install new phone.apk it says "application not installed" (or something similar, my language phone is not english). how can i install new phone.apk??
I tried to istall it from recovery and there is the same result
thanks
You have to push the phone.apk file into /system/app with a root explorer or adb. Just installing it won't work like most other apks.
i have "root browser", can i use it? can u say to me all the steps i have to do with it or adb? i'm not an android expert user...
up...anyone ca help me?
install a different launcher app that lets you customize it. try launcherpro from the android market.
you wont understand the mod instructions.
screw it here they are...
mod instructions... basic if you need more info. learn to search there are 4000 guides on how to change an app image.
you need winrar on windows. if you arent running windows you should know better.
use root level file manager to go to 'system/app' folder and copy your launcher.apk to sdcard.
copy to PC
right click .apk > open with... > choose program > WinRar
look through folders inside APK and copy all folders with .PNG images to desktop (or work folder)
look through the images in the folders (change veiw to thumbnails) and find the name of the image you want to change and the name of the folder it was in.
Go get, or create your custom image, and name it that name. **Close to original shape size.
Use winRar to open the .APK again and naviage to the place where your image goes and drop the new one into that folder.
A window with options will come up and select Compression Profile : STORE
Click ok
Close winrar.
Copy .apk to SDcard
Use root file manager to rename original /system/app/launcher.apk to launcher.apk.bak (backup)
Then copy your modded .apk to /system/app.
Reboot (pull battery)
DONT MESS WITH ANY IMAGE ENDING IN .9.PNG only regular .pngs
for more on .9.pngs... search google.. what is ....
i*have*to*modify*phone.apk,*no*launcher.apk..*i*just*did*steps*you*sayd,*but*if*i*try*to*rename*phone.apk,*my*nexus*goes*in*full*crash
fist off this is the Captivate forums. not nexus.
and i was giving help to OP question not yours. either way the *stars*and*sp ac*es are friggin annoying. use your computer if your phone is messed up.
if you "tried" to modify the name... DID IT? try doesnt tell me much.
if it wouldnt let you, then nothing changed and your phone is screwed up from something else.
if it DID rename, then CHANGE IT BACK.. duh.

Try apktool to extract all replace wteva ocon u want to and rebuild apk using the same tool and u need to sign the apk usin signapk tool so that device can recognise the.apk file for installation. I have done this and everything went fine in galaxy note. But i couldn't locate the file to rename the icon. Icon changing was not a prob.
Hello everyone!!
So i got myself a WiFi Xoom and rooted it. By mistake uninstalled the stock browser with titanium backup and now its gone from the system. Can any of you please provide me with a flashable file so i can flash it via recovery and restore app?
I tried getting the apk from one of the system dumps on the developer section but when i try to install it i get the message "App not Installed".
did you move the apk to system/app and give it correct permissions rw/r/r?

I tried to copy the apk to the system/app folder using ES file exlorer but it does not let me, and i dont know how to set the correct permissions.
Use RootExplorer, it does all mentioned stuff
Put the apk into this file. Put it in the system/app folder and flash in recovery.

I've Lost My Browser
EDITED:::Nvmd, replaced browser.apk with the ones from system dump, as mentioned in OP, and that resolved my issue of not being able to use the stock browser.
HI, maybe its a noob question but i dont know how to do it, i wanna take gallery3d.apk from gingercruzt7.4 and install it on stock rom, iv been using a root explorer and iv been set permission to file but it says that file cant be installed........any solution for this....
1. Copy apk to SD
2. Use "root app remover" to uninstall oryginal system apk
3. use "file manager" to install new apk like any other
BUT
sometimes apks form different roms not working!
Backup (CWM or xRecovery) b4 you try it
Ok, this one not work....where can i find this apk which work on stock rom....
Hi,
I've installed an custom Mail app which supposed to delete the exchange policies but it didn't work. The custom installation kit (via cwm/twrp) removed the original Mail.apk files and the replacement is not working. After reboot I've ended up with no Mail app installed.
Can someone guide me please how to restore my original Mail.apk please ?
Can someone provide me please the files I need to restore the Mail from 2.24.401.1?
Do I need only the original Mail.apk and Mail.odex files?
If I'm copying them in /system/app/ will be enough?
I've tried to restore it from cwm backup using nandroid manager.
It says it restore it successfully but after reboot it didn't install it.
There are no Mail files in systems/app
When I'm trying to launch the Mail app it says so is not installed.
Any idea why is not working?
Remove all existing mail accounts and delete admin rights (if any remaining), then try putting back the file attached in system/app folder. You will need to mount it with read/write access, using a root explorer (as ES explorer for example).
Be careful, if you're using another rom that ARHD 12 (which the attached file is extracted from) you will need to rename it "Mail+nonprime.apk"
Reboot, and check how things go...
Hope this will help

is this modified apk based on the 2.24 framework or older?
Thanks guys but I don't have the ARHD, I have the stock 4.2.2 + root.
I've manged to restore it last night using Cwm, restoring the whole backup. Luckily I had a backup make sure you do a backup first while attempting to try custom things
I still don't understand why the restore only for the Mail app didn't work.
I did not have any mail account or Admin user.
