Good day Every one my question is what is the process of adding apps to new custom JB ROM in LG Optimus 4x HD?
I did try to search the forum but was not able to find related topics for my mobile phone. (sorry if I am wrong.)
Thanks for the help.
Download any root explorer from play store (for example "Root Browser" ) .
Go to (/system/app) ,, there you will find the system apps in *.apks and the extend of them which are *.odex .
To add an app , simply copy it to /system/app ,, then press and hold on it ,, choose "permissions" and set it as the following (rw-r--r--) : -
That's all .
Good Luck .

What do you mean by "adding apps"? I suppose that you already know that you can download apps via Play Store, or you can download apps to your PC, transfer them to your phone via USB and then install them using file explorers like ES, Astro etc (they're also available via Play Store). On the other hand, you mentioned some custom roms. Do you have some problems with app installing on your custom rom? Can you be a little more specific?

I have got my answer thank you.
OS_Hacking understood what I was looking for.
One more question can I apply the same method for some of the installed apps from google playstore to move into system folder ( i mean the complete installed folder from whats app? for example.) or I need to uninstall those apps and then copy the .apk files into system folder and then reboot so that particualr app becomes the part of system files?
OS_Hacking by the way whats is the name of that font being used by you on that display bild

You liked that font ? ,, it's from an old backup from my old phone (optimus 3D) in android 2.2 . this font is called "Love" .
I uploaded it to you ,, just rename it to any exiting system font (e.g. HYTravel.ttf)
then replace it in /system/fonts ,, replace "HYTravel.ttf" and "HYTravel_Bold.ttf" with this font ,, then fix permission (the same for system apps) .
reboot and go to settings ,, you should see it instead of HYTravel .
about system apps ,, not all *.apk(s) are allowed to be in both /data/app and /system/app .
Because every apk has an extend in *.dex (which is located in /data/dalvik-cache) or in *.odex (which is located in /system/app) .
and if you install the apk on both of them it will mess up .
Some apk(s) will work and some not .
Good Luck .
Thanx Dude.

The only thing you have to do, is putting the .apk to /system/app.
From then on, they can't be uninstalled.
The error could occur for example because system wasn't mounted as rw.
When i only transfer the apk then the App is not seen in the drawer
Is there a other Folder where the informations are saved from the app??

That means with App Installer i can move the apps to the system?? Like the SGS Tool?
Well if you remove samsung player and install android's original you'll have only this player so that's it ...
I just use "adb install application.apk" and it works fine for me...

if your mobile is rooted download root explorer then go to data\app then delete it from there .... and you didnt find it there you will find it in system\app and delete it from there and make a restart and you may re-install it
Or search in play store for root uninstaller,those apps can uninstall system apps.
But rootexplorer is the best file manager.also for modifying flashable zips like roms or theme where u want to delete or add apps in the rom.just extract and zip it up when u are finished modifying the rom.
If u delete the apps directly from system/apps then use "SDmaid"(app from play store) to clean out crap, leftovers from apps u delete.
thanks for quick reply , after getting root explorer on and changing permissions for solid explorer i finally managed to delete it
but now it will not install from Play...it says "error - incompatible update ?
shall i just stick with root explorer ?

i deleted it from system app like you advised
so went to play and had install option so i clicked install then that error came up

reflashing is not the solution . try oi file manager it is awesome
will do !
thx again for your time
Yeah, stick with rootexplorer, clearly the best, oi manager is also good, but in my opinion it lacks some of the features rootexplorer got.
If u want an innovative filemanager, then try androexplorer, there is a free version without root and zipping, but u get the idea what it's about with the free one and read on how to use it. I use it for moving files around.
haha guess wot..... elite 1.3 came out yesterday so i updated & flashed and OI is now the new file manager
sorted !!
thanks for your help guys, appreciated

i wanna know what is the best method that i can find the source file *apk on my device if i get the application from the play Store or any store ?? where can i find the source file of it to re install it when i need without internet connection ???
Backup of your app?
Plenty of apps available to back them up with, if you've already uninstalled it I think your only other option is to download again.
Use "App backup & restore".
It creates apk of your installed apps.

If your device is rooted you can find your applications at /data/app and your system applications at /system/app
Just stay careful of what you do with system apps
There are several apps which can do App backups for you if you have root, one example of an excellent backup application is Titanium Backup, the Pro version even allows you to sync your backup to Dropbox or Box. The apks of the backed up applications will then be in the Titanium Backup folder you designated on your SD Card and even in your Dropbox if you used the feature.
u r the man

I figured out the UID issue.
You must have a file browser capable of root permissions or know how to use the terminal
Go to /data/system and look for uiderrors.txt
open it and take note of all the files listed in there.
Go into /data/data/ and remove those folders.
Reinstall the apps that were in conflict and everything should be good
The same fix applies for error -24 from the play store when installing apps. The only difference is that the uiderrors.txt will not have the offending files listed. You will need to know the application package name i.e. com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer

I believe it is being caused by HTC backup restoring app data. You should be able to remove the folder with root explorer as that's what I used.

You can easily remove that folder when ur using TWRP recovery. In advanced menu is a file explorer. After deleting the folder you can install e.g. quadrant again via playstore
How to enable Google Now in Android 5.0 Lollipop in every country (where it says "Google Now in not available in your country) or (Google location reporting is not available in your country ) Root Required
You can skip this (there are thousands of changes in Android Lollipop, first thing you notice when you take a look at /system/app or /system/priv-app you can see the applications are not scattered apk's and odex files, now they are arranged in folders containing the corresponding odex and lib files).
I take no responsibility if you did something wrong
Let's start:
1- Install any third party launcher like Nova launcher and open it. Also you need any file manager with root capability ( I use X-plore file manager and in its configuration just enable root with read/write )
2- Download Google search 2.6.xxxx and rename it to Velvet.apk link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23017610006233988
3- Now go to settings/apps/all and clear data for Google Search (this also will erase your setup for Google now launcher)
4- Open the file manager, navigate to /system/priv-app and backup (copy) Velvet folder with all its contents to a safe place in your SD card.
5- delete all contents inside velvet folder then copy Google search 2.6.xxxx (renamed as Velvet.apk) to velvet folder and check the permission is chmod 644, like the screenshot below
6- Restart you phone, and open Google search and tap Yes, I am in
7- After completing the Google Now setup, open the file manager and restore velvet folder (you backed it up) to it's original place in /system/priv-app (over write velvet.apk) and make sure that the 3 files in /velvet/lib/arm and velvet.apk permission is chmod 644, while the folders (velvet, lib, arm) permissions is chmod 755, like screenshot below.
8- Restart your phone and enjoy Google Now launcher with Google Now page

It doesn't work on Android 5.0.1
Many thanks
I can confirm it works flawlessly!
I tried it on GPE HTC One M8 running 5.0.1 and I can confirm it works. It was a little tricky though because there was almost no space available on the system partition, so I had to delete some system apps to free up some space for the mentioned operations. But thanks to this thread, I got my Google now up and running! Thanks guys!
