Ok for some reason I removed an apk file in the system app folder (capture screen I think)
I didnt make a backup before removing but can I just copy over the file from the rom and paste it in as i dont want to reflash again as I have the rom/phone the way I want it
Thanks
Yes you can but after you do that re apply permissions and owner info.

Thanks for info but how do you do that?
Permissions and owner?
Use mount /system and then adb to device while in recovery and open shell. Then do a cd to whatever folder u want and do a chown root /../../../file. Ten using recovery fix permissions or do a chmod.

Delete system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
Delete ADW stuff in dalvik-cache, or complete wipe your dalvik-cache
Push the new ADWLauncher.apk to system/app
reboot
if i wiped dalvik-cache will it affect other apps ???
and by "push"
do you mean just copy the apk and paste it in system/app ??
didnt work !!!
isnt there anyway around it by using terminal or something ?
I've done this before by just installing the newer version from the market (it actually has a different name for the installed apk), set as default, then uninstall the old version with Titanium...

Mount RW. Overwrite the file. Then select and install it. Exit and reboot. I do it all the time.

This. You'll have two versions of ADW installed at first, but just remove the old one using TB and you're set.
Try this:
Open the Terminal app and run the following commands in it:
Code:
su
remount
cp /sdcard/ADW.Launcher.apk /system/app/ADWlauncher.apk
reboot
how about setting the permissions?
This is how I did it.
0. Make a backup of your original ADWLauncher.apk
1. Download the newest ADW.Launcher from the Market
2. Using Root Explorer, mount as R/W, in /data/app, find the ADW.Launcher apk file
3. Copy and paste the file into /system/app
4. Delete old ADWLauncher.apk
5. Rename copied file to ADWLauncher
6. (If needed) Long press on file and select Permissions, change Permissions to Read: All 3; Write: User
7. Mount back to R/O and exit Root Explorer.
Enjoy.

I've finally discovered how to install apps as system apps.
1. Download Android SDK and extract it to C:\
2. Set your cmd destination to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools {Click here for a video tutorial}
3. Put the app that you want to install in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
4. Connect your phone
5. Turn on USB debugging
6. Open cmd.exe and type in order:
adb remount
adb push yourapp.apk /system/app
7. You are done!
thanks for the tip...
I tried to just paste in system app but that didnt work
thanks for writing this it will help a lot of people

actually, it works, but you need to give permission to those apps. you can do it via recovery or root explorer. I did it with root explorer and it seems to work...
Yeah i know but technicaly adb is correct way to do it
permissions: rw-r--r--

hi trying to delete some bloadware i did delete apk clock so i cant set my alarm, can some one help me with this apk or any simple alarm im on stock rom 2.6.3
Download any ROM from the development section, grab the Clock.apk from /system/app, proceed to paste it in your phone (to /system/app) using a root explorer
Yes, I have the apk file here: View attachment DeskClock.apk.
Copy it to /system/app/ and set permissions to rw-r-r.
Or, install it with System Apps Installer (by Traber Software), you need root, but you have root, or not?

View attachment DeskClock.apk
May be this will work
Instead of using any app
Do it manually
1. Download Root Explorer from Play Store
2. Then download the file from the link in the post
Its deskclock.apk
3. Go in Root Explorer
So first go to your root then system /app
(Note: Enable Mount system as R/W in Root Explorer)
4. Then copy the deskclock.apk I gave you and paste in system/app
5. SET PERMISSIONS
Long click on deskclock.apk and click on permissions
You will see three columns
Read Write Execute
You have to set them in the following way
x means you have to tick it
blank means uncheck
Read Write Execute
.....x........x.................
.....x...........................
.....x...........................
6. Click OK
Reboot
Note : in root explorer, in system/app
click on mount system as R/W
not R/O
or you will get error
Hi guys, I tried to change the bootanimation on my fire tablet (2015), it wasn't located in the media folder but I did find a bootanimation file in system/bin, I backed this up first incase I needed to replace it. On replacing said backup I still don't get the default boot animation, just a blank screen until the lock screen shows up, I've even tried copying the file from another tablet. I'm sure its something to do with permissions but I'm not sure, hoping someone more knowledgeable than me can help.
Thanks

Restore the file to /system/bin and chmod 755
Sorry for being a dumbass, what's chmod 755 ?

Restore she file bootanimation to /system/bin/ folder. If you do it with a root file explorer change the permissions to 755. That's rwx-rx-rx.
If you do it using a shell with terminal for android or by adb, type:
1. su (grant SuperSU permissions in the tablet when it asks for it).
2. mount -o remount,rw /system
3. chmod 0755 /system/bin/bootanimation
4. Reboot
I'm using a root file explorer, permissions set as you say but it still isn't working, what should I set Owner and Group to ?
