I am using root explorer to copy the city id and 3g hotspot apk from my sd card to system /app but every time I try to install I get application not installed. I changed permissions and everything. I do not know what I am doing wrong. I un installed them with titanium and want to restore them. I did a backup but did not see an option to reinstall. So, I just downloaded the apk's and am doing it this way.
Where did you get the apk's? I need the City id

APK doesn't install
Yes, there's something strange going on with the TAB.
I get "application not installed" when I try to reinstall the mail app. I've also tried moving the APK into the system/app folder but it won't even with r/w access.
I've also tried installing with adb, but that throws INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT.
The same file installs fine on my HTC Desire.
I used Superoneclick to root the TAB, and terminal seems to get su without problem, but I think there's something I'm missing.
Any help gratefully received.
These are the STOCK FROYO apps from OFFICIAL 2.2
IF you want to request a app, please Post telling me the correct app name, if theres a specific firmware you want it from, and i'll try my best to look for it.

If someone wants to make this better, please i'm all for suggestions.
The maximum its letting me upload on here is 8, so i'll upload more on the below post.
HOW TO INSTALL THESE APPS.
Put these apps on the sd card, or download them directly from phone.
when you click it it will say application not installed.
You must get a file manager, such as ASTRO, or ROOT EXPLORER
and move these .apk files to system/app/...
ALL APK FILES FROM POST 1, AND 2 ARE IN THIS ZIP.
APPS THAT ARE NOT ON POST 1 OR 2 ARE IN POSTS ARE IN NORMAL POSTS, AND THESE ARE THE ONES ADDED SO FAR.
think free or thinkdroid.apk
The Sim's LIMITED Edition (WORKS ON VIBRANT ONLY) - all downloads are on post.
Continued....
If you download swype.apk
you may need this swypelib core file.
put it in SYSTEM/LIB/...

its just the .apk, so people on custom roms, but have avatar on sd card, they can use that .apk with the sd card movie.
Awesome. Will add to the stickies soon.
Should be in the App Section though. Hopefully a mod can move it.
Reread thread, never mind.

The Sims is a problem because it is two APKs. One is the launcher and does nothing without the actual game. The game is too HUGE to post, and might be considered warez, even though it has been confirmed it will only run on a true T959. So if you want that one the best solution at the moment it to get it from the market since EA recently released it.
what version of swype is that?

On astro click back until it says back 1 more time to exit.
That's where u find system then find app or apps, then paste or move it in there.
To the version of swype question, this is from the latest official froyo.
Edit : I will add thinkfree AND sims if a mod tells me its okay.
Ill add sins by giving sd card data
Not to self advertise BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894794 has this ability to add all the stock apps you want and it will package them in a pretty flashable zip for you, too

Okay, I did manage to find my way by pressing up once I got to that point. After that do I just reboot or do I try to install?

Have you confirmed that the apk is in fact in /system/app and that it was not a failed copy?
I have noticed that when using DroidExplorer to do pushes, if the permissions are not correct it acts the same as if it copied ok. I usually end up having to verify using a on phone file manager like Astro or Root Explorer that the file is actually there.
after rebooting again i checked astro and it is in the system/app folder. i did notice that the rest of the files in system apps have the size, date, and something that says -r- (dont really know too much about astro so i have no idea what that means). but i did notice that the memo apk has the size, date, and instead of -r- is has -rw. anyone know what that means?
I have an app on my phone that Id like to get on my rooted kindle. It goes along with another app that I was able to find the apk on the net, however I cant find the apk for this app due to it being so out of date (1+ year). How do I go about creating an apk of it from tibu backup on my phone to make it work on the kindle? I tried downloading it to my dropbox, unzipping on my computer, transferring to kindle and installing that way, but it keeps coming back app not installed. Any ideas? also off topic, Im having problems with the xda app on my kindle. anytime I go to type any response or search anything, the keyboard pops up then goes away immediately. Any reason why? TIA for any and all help.
Use AppSaver which can be found in the Market. It copies the APK for all or selected apps to your SDCard location. You can then e-mail or transfer the APK to your fire.
https://market.android.com/details?...SwxLDEsImNvbS5JUUJTLmFuZHJvaWQuYXBwU2F2ZXIiXQ..
Super Manager has an APK manager which does the same thing, but you can do it on a package by package basis. It will save the filename in the Original package name or what I use, Readable Display Name.
Most of the APK's that I've moved to my KF that I could not load by other means were done via this method.
Even then, some packages simply won't install due to hardware requirements not in the KF, but you can't tell till your try.

That app is pretty cool, but unfortunately it still showed app not installed. Ill use this on another phone, but for kindle it still didn't work. Could it be because the outdatedness of the app?

Not sure... AppSaver has been working great on my Nexus S to grab apps that don't show up on the Fire Android or Amazon Market. Weird that your backed up app doesn't install. Have you tried copying it directly to the Data/app folder and restarting the Kindle (without manually installing from the Data/App folder)?

I recently rooted my stock AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 (MF3) and have been implementing a few improvements that I've found on this thread but have run into a strange error twice already when trying to replace an existing system app with a modded version.
With other phones in the past I simply paste an app into system/app and set RW-R-R permissions, then reboot the phone. During the next boot it usually says "android is upgrading 1 of 1" and creates a matching .odex file in the /system/app folder and everything works perfect.
So far I've tried to replace the SecPhone.apk with a version that allows call recording, and the TetheringProvision.apk with one that will let me tether on my AT&T phone. In both instances I reboot, but it never says "upgrading", nor is an .odex file created, and then the app fails to work. With the TetheringProvision.apk I also kept getting a "failed to change permissions" error in ES File Explorer, so I retried with Root Explorer, and SMangager but none of them could change the permission on the apk once it was in the system/app folder (yes /system was mounted R/W). I'm not sure if this is related to the above problem or not.
Has anyone else had a similar issue? I have frozen most of the Samsung bloatware apps and while I've been careful, I suppose I could have accidentally frozen something important, but everything other than these replacement system apps seems to be working perfectly. I thought android automatically checked for new apps on every boot, but apparently not on my phone.
Is there any way to force an app check on boot? Thanks for the help.
So I guess no one else has had a similar issue...

For an Odexed system, an Odex file is required to be installed along with the original file. So if a mod is created for an "Odexed" system, it will have a .odex file accompanying it that must be installed also. Installing a deodexed file into an odexed system doesn't work unless the deodexed file is split down into its 2 parts again (original file, plus .odex file)..
This was very helpful. Is there a guide you could recommend to me on how to make an odex file from the modded apk that I have so that I can get these programs working on my S4?

You will need a file manager with root permissions, move the apk to /system/app give it the proper permissions, should be read write and execute.
