one easy way is with titanium backup
First you guys need to be rooted.
Then just move the apk you want from /data/app/ to /system/app/ using any root file explorers.
Set the permissions to rw-r-r- and voila, you now have your system app

Because it's in the system folder. And please, use your imagination and try yourself. We are not here to spoon-feed each and every detail. You have already been told everything you need to know to complete the task. Now please use your brain and start trying. And if you cannot figure it out you probably should not be messing with system apps and permissions anyway.

Thank You for your help
No need to be sorry. Just don't expect to people to do the work for you. Rooting a phone and messing around with system apps etc. always requires a bit of trial and error.

Some people dont like their Call History and Text History combined into 1 big history log. This removes that so that each have their own logs.

Does anyone have the original logs provider apk cause this one ****s up the phone and makes it force close when you hang up a call and when you go into the logs then resets the radio.
Fixed. Thanks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14851129#post14851129
Sorry but this did not work for me.
I got a bunch of FC and then I rebooted and everything was back to the way it was.
UPDATE: got it working now.. See below.
It did work for me. I placed it on my SD card then used Root Explorer to move it to my system/app folder (you have to have it set to read/write, thus you need root access), then let it overwrite the current version, rebooted, cleared my logs, and tested it, and it works for me. I'm on Deodexed, Rooted EF02 with busybox (no idea wtf busybox is). The op was updated and the download fixed at some point, not sure when, maybe you have the older version. I would suggest giving it another try.

When I did this a couple of days ago it didnt work on Odexed or Deodexed. I had to obtain the original one and deal with the sms showing in the call logs. One way around it (for now) is Im using the Go Dialer because it doesnt include SMS in the call log

OK I think it may have worked now. I deleted the "Logsprovider.odex" file in system/app and reboot once again and no more FC. I cleared out the logs and now waiting for a few calls and texts to see if the logs are fixed now.

Seems to be working great now! The only thing I did different was delete that odex file. I read some where that that's what worked for them.

PS All the old logs were still there until I deleted them, so at first it didn't look like it worked.

Thanks for your response. Where do I download the .apk file? I can't find it on Samsung's website nor on Google's Play store. And when you say "Place them at system", what do you mean exactly. Which folder?
most of the samsung apps are here for aosp roms

Thanks for this info. Yes I am a "noob" to Android. Actually I write programs and am trying to find my way around this device (Galaxy Note) to understand it more and customise it, partly by writing programs for it. But there are loads of terms I don't understand on Xda and I will have a lot of questions. Thanks for your help.

you need a root file explorer. once you have that, go to /system/apps, where it says Mount R/W, tap it so that you can write to system, push the Samsung apps into the folder, long press the file, change permissions to how it looks for all other apps, then tap Mount R/O
I have been given the Samsung keyboard and I'm trying to install it and it won't!
Can anyone give any clues as to why it is not installing??
I'm using [ROM][4.0.4] RemICS v1.1 (Team Remics).

Any ideas folks???
I too tried but was the same.
If you want then try putting it in system/app and reboot your phone.
How that works.

It's only the Samsung keyboard, so you would of thought that it would of worked.

Make sure you are rw in explorer, and you might need to delete the old Samsung keyboard if there is one in your ROM, and set permissions to match the other files in that folder, might need a reboot too

Is it actually working for anyone????
???
If the install and copying to the system/app doesn't work it probably needs other files like framework and permissions.
Hope the ROM guys can fix this up for you.
In case you didn't know.
Steps to avoid having to reboot when you want to replace an app:
1.- Delete the app you want to replace in system/app
2.- Go where you placed your app on sdcard
3.- Move/copy it to system folder
4.- Set permissions rw-r--r--
5.- Move it to system/app
DONE. You don't have to reboot phone
Eh. I always have to reboot even when I use this steps.

Some system apps can, some cannot. Depends.
You also need root which you neglected to mention.

if you kill SystemUI the phone will be messed and you can't see and can't do anything
No way. You can't kill it permanently.
I dont understand why you would not want to reboot anyway.
Surely your not not that impatient to wait 30 seconds?
And what benefits are there?
Seems a redundant topic to me, and a topic that belongs in the general section as this has nothing to do with themes or apps.
Hi guys,
I flashed the new Nexus 5 launcher and it replaced the Z1's softkeys with the 5's. I don't like these keys and want the Z1's. Can someone provide me with the required files.

You make backups with recovery. You can also make a backup of the xperia home apk with titanium backup that you can restore,
I can provide you with the file when I get time.
Just remember that in future it is always good practice to backup things up before you flash anything or replace system apps. that way when things go wrong (Or if you don't like the result) then you can easily go back without having to ask for someone to provide you with the files that you once had on your phone.

You throw them in system/apps and overwrite.
Restart and then it should be back to normal.

seeing as you never mentioned which rom you were on I presumed you wanted the stock systemUI.apk.
If you want something different then extract it from your rom download and put it in system/app using root explorer and change the permissions so they are the same as other apps.
HINT
put it in system
long press on it and choose change permissions
change them to this
[*][*][-]
[*][-][-]
[*][-][-]
then move it to system/app
reboot
