Next time, just tell him what you're doing because he's not a mind reader and he probably knows another way to put it on your phone

adb shell mount

ok i found this tool on xda not sure where
if your running windows unzip install program move your file from the sd card to the pc
double click your MyFaves.apk hopefully your connect via usb and click install give it 30 sec and see if it installs

also go here and download sdk tools cause your gonna need them

How do you Install HTC IME to system/app

How can you do it in terminal.
Assuming you have the apk in the root of your SD card
su
then whatever the command is to mount /system (I can't remember at the moment)
cp /sdcard/xxxx.apk /system/app/
That's it.
when i try to mount it says device or resource busy.

Writing to /system/app...

I'm trying to push a file to /system/app but it's read-only. I know there's a command to allow me to write to it, but do I need to be rooted to do so? I'm attempting to put SprintZone.apk back in /system/app so I can update firmware. Feel free to PM me on this, too...I'm not doing so well hahaha.
Thanks,

Put the file in the android sdk tools folder
Use adb commands

I think its something like this...
adb shell
su
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

then what I had to do was instead of the usual:
mv /sdcard/yourfile.ext /system/app/yourfile.ext
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had to type this:
busybox mv /sdcard/yourfile.ext /system/app/yourfile.ext

it was either MV or CP
Sorry, I am not a programmer....
None of theese work for me and i have driver installed,sdk folder im using the right path but nothing it says adb not found 8(
I'm pretty sure you can just do this:
Adb shell
Su
Remount rw
That was enough to let me edit my build.Prop when root explorer wasn't remounting correctly.
Although I would recommend root explorer for stuff like this... remounts on the epic now and it let's you Remount in the application without adb. I think it's $0.99 in the market and we'll worth it.

I second the suggestion of root explorer.

I've noticed weirdness using mv or cp sometimes even using -f.
This always worked for me without fail:
cat dir/file.ext > /system/app/file.ext
Of course, you'll need to type the proper dir(s) and file.

Install the APK and run it.
For people getting "could not extract assets" error execute
adb shell rmdir /data/local/tmp
and then
adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp

So just push the apk to the phone, install and you're done?
no need to "push", just stick it on your sd card and install

you need to execute the commands in the origional post via ADB with USB debugging enabled, because the location is in the system and ironicly you dont have the root privelages to delete them
I don't even know what ADB is....that's how much I know...

I have attached it to this post. ADB is the Android Debug Bridge. It is used to excecute commands on android devices. Just extract the zip, then open a command prompt and change to the directory of ADB, then excecute the commands.
if you get the error for esset you need to remove all the files inside to /data/local/tmp/
press: adb shell
press ls /data/local/tmp
and remove one by one the files as my example:
$ ls /data/local/tmp/
ls /data/local/tmp/
Superuser.apk
Gingerbreak
runscript
sysrun
$ rm /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
rm /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
$ rm /data/local/tmp/Gingerbreak
rm /data/local/tmp/Gingerbreak
$ rm /data/local/tmp/runscript
rm /data/local/tmp/runscript
$ rm /data/local/tmp/sysrun
rm /data/local/tmp/sysrun
and now try again with app and may it works (in my case, works)

maybe I should've mentioned I'm on a Mac computer with no access to windows....damn, this is so frustrating....
Ah... Its still possible you just have to get the android sdk for mac.
Get the SDK from here
Then in the tools folder ADB should be there
Then its commands as normal I think... not sure tho, don't have a mac.
Search around on here for tutorials, I'm sure someone has put up a tutorial on setting up adb on mac

Deodex I did How Can I put files?

There was a misunderstanding. I've already done. I could not put them in the phone.
In the guide:
Now there are 2 ways to install deodex files in device
If you take step 1, you need to startup your phone, make sure you are in developers mode, connect your phone with the usb cable to the computer and then do these commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot

I have not tried is myself. I only wanted to help you out how you could do it.
adb is way to communicate between your phone and your computer. download the files here : https://mega.nz/#!pBFBTLoI!jZY2Wdh6VlHF9Cx8nhawlX4CDPJXT1KWwIbZ-3PN4GM
On your phone:
Then you need to put your phone in developers mode, push 10 times on buildnumber in about the phone.
Then select USB-error in the options for developers in settings menu.
On your computer
Then you need to how to a command prompt, cmd to the extracted directory. Put in you usb cable in your phone and computer. And execute the commands above if the files are in the correct directory on your sd card.

Well it didnot work on B180 version i have tried many times
You have to keep your previous system, factory reset only, and push the 3 folder in a zip with a script to flash it by twrp, easy and quick
But without fix and keep few system app odex, the flash work but not the system after the boot, it's why the link of the deodex was down, because don't works. Also just deodex it's really easy but the job don't stop here, for working you have to fix many things and also have the knowledge for that.
(system app need to be fix, framework too and many more)
Just deodex is not useful
And deodex the beta firmware is not more useful, really better to works on official version and wait the official marshmallows
A really good knowledge is necessary for fixing the firmware. Deodex can be make by anybody with the automatic tool's
Personally I appreciate more working on a custom kernel for the p8 lite. Because we can have the sources
