Default App install folder?

Hi
I'm looking for the default app installation folder. I'm trying to edit the swype dictionary with a new language and I need to edit the name of 2 files. I cant find the app installation folder via OI file manager or ASTRO.
Any Ideas?
I'm not rooted....

/data/app
access via adb or root explorer (root explorer needs root access)

Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA Premium App

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!

Help! No Browser!

I was (like an idiot) trying to edit the browser icon by using root explorer & APK Manager
When I went to implement what I had done in APK manager into root explorer I replaced my browser.apk app and aparently what I had done didnt work
I made a backup of Browser.apk and I even tar'd it but I cant figure out how to get the browser back - when I click install it says "installation was not complete"

Extract the backup then use root explore to copy backup to /system/app then set correct permission on
browser.apk rw-r--r--.... Reboot see if that helps..

That's exactly what I did except for the reboot, thanks for the suggestions (trying it right now)

It worked Thanks
Any idea on how to change some of the icons easily without getting a launcher? I want the icons like on the Droid Bionic

Permission problems

Hi, my rooted Kindle recently un-rooted after I did a factory reset to fix an issue with the sound. I have re-rooted using both KFFA and B4 Binary methods but now don't seem able to use Es Explorer to move Go Ex into my system/app folder.
Live Wallpaper and Widget picker both managed to move, however it fails if I try to change permissions on anything. I have used Root Checker to make sure I am definitely rooted so don't know what the problem is. The launcher from the KFFA kit works although has major issues freezing and loosing the side bar with the home and back buttons on.
I have downloaded from both play store and on-line into my downloads folder but when I attempt to move, I get permission denied. I can't change permissions in the download folder and Es is set up in root mode, SU is allowing access and the SD is mounted. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

dam0fitz,
Can you afford Root Explorer? I think it is $4.99 and is worth every penny. I have had issues with ES file Explorer too, so I can not directly answer your question without looking at your device.
Check out Root Explorer here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en
Root Explorer immediately activates Root at first launch, just FYI. Nothing to configure like ES File Explorer.

Unable to move an apk to system/app

I have an apk which I want to install as a system app. I have a rooted device and have used both es file explorer and root explorer to move the apk to the system/app folder but they both say copy failed or operation failed. I have granted r/w permission on the folder as well as the apk. And also have given root permission. What am I doing wrong? I am able to move another app to the system/app without any issues.

Make sure that root permission is granted to es explorer.

Yes I have made sure es explorer has been granted root permission by super su. It works fine for another apk but is not working for 2 of my other apks

Works fine for xmod apk but fails to copy assassin's creed identity apk even though the game is compatible with my device.
