Install App To System?

Ok so i sort of made my own rom for myself to use i removed all stock launchers etc etc, i wanted to use launcher 7 as default laucher, not the se one. but when i full wipe my phone it deletes it as its a downloaded app which then leaves my phone without a launcher, so how do i build it into the system like adw is in the cm roms? so it dosnt wipe when i clear all data on my phone. Thanks in advance.
Edit: I would release this rom to public but its only based on 2.1.1.a.0.6 and most people prefer to use Floyo, Hackdroid etcetc. It dosnt have any extra features its just how i like it with all the crap removed lol, Different framework. Its just the launcher bit whats doing me lol.
install the application, then move it from /data/app to /system/app using root explorer...
restart your phone, it should works..
Ok thanks ill try that as soon as I get back from dentist

Yes it does what I wanted it to do. Use launcher 7 as default launcher after full factory reset.

[Q] bootanimation location

I'm using root explorer and I'm trying to find the boot animation file. I've looked in /system/media and its not there like others say. Im using coredroid 1.2. Apps that are suppose to import my animation keep Force closing, maybe because there is no boot animation where it should be. I didnt have this problem in CM7 but I do in this rom. Any suggestions?

For a sense rom it must be located in folder saranhai listed, if it's not then put one in there.

Ah ha! Thanks guys. I debloated and customized the stock GB ROM for my wifes phone, but didn't know where the bootanimation was. Awesome! If i drop a different boot animation in and rename it to TMUS_bootanimation.zip or whatever the bloody current one is called it should work? I'd try it, but she gets grumpy when I play with her phone. I want it to count.

Have you tried to use the search function in root explorer? Search for bootanimation and it should show you where it is...but as others have stated, it should be in the resource folder....

When i try it says cannot paste/move because it is a read-only-file
Then I press mount R/W and try but it says theres not enough space... but I dont know if its safe to delete all the other stuff in that folder..
And if I just put the animation in there, what would happen to the one i have now, where ever it is?

I would cut your current one and drop it on your sdcard as a backup. Rename your bootanimation.zip to whatever the one you cut/pasted is. That might fix both problems. There are a lot of wallpapers in that folder. Delete some you don't care for.
Btw, I went up and down this thread hitting thanks buttons. Its been awhile since someone helped me so I went crazy with it.

alright um... I have a data folder but no local in it. is something wrong with my phone here?
edit: alright sorry about that. Your right! I found it in there. Thanks!
Lol. No.
Did you try /system/media?
Edit: just checked OP. That's the first place you looked. Does your phone have a boot animation currently? I'm asking because if its not in /data/local, /system/media or system/customize/resource then I don't know how you could have one at all.

See if you can use Titanium Backup from the market. It will tell you if you have root, which I think you don't

Hi,
What file explorer are you using, and have you fixed permissions?
Have you mounted it to "Write" ?

I use solid explorer and I already do the fixed permission on my recovery. Is there something else that I can do the fixed permission other than recovery?

Hi,
Go to the market and get "FX File Explorer" +Root add-on.
Navigate to the system/app folder in root mode.
Unlock the padlock at the top.
Then , try to push the app.
