[Q] Putting apps in system/apps by root explorer doesn't work

Hi, I have been flashed the CM6.1, and just now i tried to use root explorer to install some modded widget by the putting them in system/apps method. But it doesn't work anymore. After i have put the .apk there, i go to the add widget page and i can't found that specific widget. It works perfectly when i am using my stock 2.1 rom. Can anyone give some possible solution? Appreciate it so much !

Do you set the permissions correctly?
Do you restarted the phone after past the apk in system/app?

I guess you have to reboot and then click on the apk through root explorer and select install also before they appear on the menu.

Oh yes. You guys have figured out the problem. I didn't set the permission correctly therefore it doesn't work.

[REQ] new Google News and Weather app (GenieWidget.APK)

Hi guys, Im trying to get the Google News and Weather app (GenieWidget.APK) from Nexus S, or other newer version, running. I have an older version that does not auto update, so it kinda sucks.
The new version is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13473045
Ive tried dropping both the APK and/or ODEX file via file manager, also rebooting, but the files are not there afterwards. Im rooted and using FileExpert app, which is granted superuser Im told via toast message.
Also tried direct install of the APK, but again no go --> 'Application not installed' error.
Im running the Mosiac III ROM.
Searches have not helped so Id appreciate some help!

You might wan't to try Root Explorer from the market. Its what I used to install the genie widget. It is pretty easy to use. All you have to do is copy it into your system/app folder and there you have it.

but do i need to delete the old one? Is necessary to change the permissions of the new apk? If yes how?

If the installation is failing you are going to need to adb push the application to your system/app/ folder and then it should work... I am also looking for the new geniewidget.apk (sorry for bumping an old thread).

[Q] Installing SamsungApps.apk problem

Hi guys,
I am on RocketRom v22 with Abyss 3.7.
Today I wanted to launch SamsungApps for the first time. I agreed on the License Agreement and was forced to update Samsung Apps and so I did. But after the download was finished the app was just closed. If I try to start it again, it closes again.
What I already tried:
Clear Data in Settings > apps. --> doesnt work
Then, I uninstalled Samsung Apps with Tit.Backup and tried to install Samsungapps.apk provided by many sites, including XDA.
During installation I get the error "Application was not installed".
I hope you can help me.

Copy it to /system/app and reboot if you haven't already done that.

It should have been auto pulled by system. Check in app drawer. If not try restoring from Titanium Backup it will auto show in there.
BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE :-D

where did you get the latest apk from?
can't seem to find it... >_<

Hi Guys...
Sorry to sound dumb, but I am new to the android scene blah blah... Just flashed CM10 (4.1.1 JellyBean) on to my GT-N7000, as you probably guessed, Samsung Apps isn't there.
I have read above but cannot seem to copy the SamsungApps.apk into my system/apps folder... It says SamsungApps.apk cannot be moved (using ES File Explorer)
Any help? Thanks.
EDIT...
Please ignore me... I had to change some settings in ES to allow root access. Thanks.
Double EDIT...
It's still not working for me though... Any help would be great.

I tried installing the samsung apps apk into the /system/app folder and rebooted but I still get the Application not installed message...
Any suggestions would be appreciated

[Q] root unsuccessful :(

Hi,
the problem is next:
I root my phone (xperia x8) with super one click (successful), i follow the instructions
then i installed root explorer. after that I copy the cwm files and with root explorer i tried to remove it to system/bin
the problem starts here. there wasn't enough space, so I remove 3 files of 4.
after that i uninstall some unimportant apps to get some space.
when I tried to enter root explorer the message appear:
"restart app"
"Root explorer has not yet managed to obtain root accsess because of issuses with superuser,this often happensthe first time the app is run but usually fine from the on Click ok and restart the app to try again make sure you respoding superuser promt"
after that i tried everything:
- reinstall root explorer, restart phone, allow/decline in superuser... no result
- install es file es file explorer, and follow the instructions but no results, can see the system/bin folder but can't manage(copy/paste, cut/paste)
the message when i click root explorer in es file explorer said that the phone is not support.
in meanwhile I noticed that i cannot connect to my wireless network....
after that i tried:
- settings reset, nothing
- factory defaults.
after factory default my phone don't recognize my Sim card, and the wireless still not work.
I don't know what to do.
Can someone please help!
Please

did superuser ask you about permision? if not then you need to have superuser to use that alsbo you can install the cwm via rommanager which can be downloaded for free from google play

Thanks for the answer.
The superuser asked me about permission. and I click allow.
what is the procedure with rommanager?
Thanks in advance

after you get it from market you just need to open it and click flash cwm recover after that it will tell you that is completed succesful or not

but...
there is a little problem,
i can't connect to wireless network, and my sim card don't work, so I can't download it from market...
any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Root your x8 using flahtool then use x8 toolbox to install recovery or cwm (is better) then try to get to cwm and make backup. Chceck mamufacture date and if you can unlock your bootloader then download and install custom kernel and rom
