If you are using an app like root explorer or even es file explorer with root options enabled you have to make sure your system is mounted R/W before you can make changes.

How do you mount the system as R/W ?
Thanks !

Where Root Explorer and my old fave Total Commander failed, this works:

get the deodexed apps of ur original firmware
search for the allshare apk file
root ur phone
get root explorer or any other root enabled file explorer
copy the .apk file to system/app and reboot ur phone

Kyrillos v4 final:
I tried to install the dlna.apk with Easy Installer (message: not installed). Then I tried to move the apk with File Expert directly into the system/app folder where all other apk where. It did tell me that it is handling this copy but nothing appeared in this folder...
Tried it again with File Manager but he wouldn't let me Paste the file into the folder...
What next? Any ideas?
Thanks

did u enable R\W mode???

good question. I just realized that the folder is still on read-only.
I tried to use terminal emulator and type "chmod 755 ./system/" to change the rights but I got "unable to chmod system. read-only file system"...
So what did I miss?

use the built in switcher in root explorer or other file managers( e-strongs or astro) i know both have r\w toggle
or goto data\app and paste it there
u need to manually change permissions for each folder

So with root explorer I just go to the folder and change the rights into r/w?
If I understood correctly I need to change the rights first in system then in app, right?

Root Explorer rocks
I managed to change the rights (with "Mount R/W") andthis changed the rights also for the subfolders. Then I pasted the dlna.apk file into the app folder. Then I changed the rights back to r/o.
After reboot it took some time to get everything up again, and all my apps where again unsorted on the different screens.
The file is still in the folder but no allshare application in my programs....
So I copied the file into the data/app folder...
Reboot (didn't take a long time) still no app there...
What now?

Maybe someone knows another app from the market which can do the same thing, also for Samsung and other brands?
Thanks

did u get the deodexed apps from JPM rom or any other
& what do u allshare for???

I downloaded the dlna.apk from the internet and tried to install it with easy installer. I'm not sure whether it is from JPM How can I find out?
I want to use allshare with a Samsung TV.
Having flashed Kyrillos ROM.
Was that the question?

try imediashare or samsung remote
free from market

Download system app+framework file from kyrillos rom post n copy dlna file to system/app using root explorer!

I couldn't find the free version of root explorer, but tried File Expert instead. Seems to work fine for my needs.

[Q] asus email widget

Here it is

And also the weatherwidget

Download the file then place it in system/app with Root Explorer (or whatever file explorer program you use)

So I'm taking it that you can't just install these as with other sideloaded apps?

hurmm i manage to copy it to system/app but then i cant install it it say application not installed =/ i set my root explorer to R/W already and i changed the permission of the apps.

[Q] High Access for ASTRO File Manager

I'm trying to insert a hosts file into the etc folder to replace the one currently in it, but it says I do not have permission to go through with the overwrite of the new file over the old one. I use SuperUser and can't seem to figure out how to grant ASTRO File Manager access. Can anyone shed some light on this situation?

Try using a different file explorer, one that is specifically a root file explorer.
I don't believe that ASTRO can access Anything requiring root permissions.

Yes root explorer will be the easiest way unless you know how to do it with adb.
