If you merely try to install a system application....the chances are ..it will fail....what you have to do is manually push the file into the /system/app folder and you are good to go

I put Kieswifi.odex and Kieswifi.apk files (using Root Explorer) in system/app, I set the same permissions as other programs but when I try to go into settings/kies via wi-fi it says: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."

did you reboot after moving app to system?
if it didnt work type in terminal emulator after moving the two files to system/app:
Code:
su
chown 1000.1000 /system/app/kieswifi.apk
chown 1000.1000 /system/app/kieswifi.odex
chmod 0744 /system/app/kieswifi.apk
chmod 0744 /system/app/kieswifi.odex
reboot

it is weird it must work. no idea what is happening with you.
any way, you can always flash your stock firmware with odin.

Thank you anyway!
Can you make a back-up with Titanium to this application? Then you upload them here (there are 4 files).
Think it will work?

Root issue cant delete files (JI6)

I dont have a data plan so i installed the JI6 update manually using kies, this caused a problem because i had deleted some of the bloat ware prior to this. after the phone rebooted i would get a media file error that wouldnt stop poping up, so i factory reset the phone.
this did a few things first of all i lost root, but the JI6 update is still there. so i rooted the phone again and tried deleting the bloatware, using apps like androidmate the file gets deleted but comes right back. through the terminal the files display a read only warning.
i know root is working properly because the SU command works
so im wondering if JI6 has gotten locked down and im screwed or do i need to find a new way to root the phone?
Samsung decided to mount /system as a read-only FS. I've heard Root Explorer and Titanium Backup for Root users can get rid off the bloat. I personally, use a custom ROM that on top of deodexing the stock ROM and getting rid off bloatware, also mounts /system as read-write.
root explorer is a pay only app, TB does not work it has no options to uninstall apps.
so i guess my only choice is to flash the rom, where can i find the necessary info?

I am not sure if it will remain RW if you reboot, I just always revert to read only so I dont accidentally mess something up

thanks for your's help , mate ! :]
Do you have SDK installed? If so, just open up a command prompt and use:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm *insert path to specific file you want to remove*
Ctrl+C
exit

Is this code correct
"adb remount
adb push /maps 6.2.0 -mod.apk / system/app"
?
Where should I place the app file?In "platform-tools" folder?
Thank you very much for helping me!

Our on the right path so far.. But the way I've always used adb I kinda dragged everything to the tools folder...I have the library and everything else there...try putting it on our tools folder and see what happens if not check the platform tools.. Just drop the map apk and try it out.

Why is that?Even root explorer,i can't move apps to system/app (even mount as R/W)!Why is that?

Hmm.. even root explorer.. that's strange you mean mount R/W to R/O in root explorer..
from my end i first did c:\androidsdk then was able to adb push etc...what i could suggest is wait for the signed version.. am on samsung galaxy t989, am at work, i can't really access nothing right now to check with you...i have my mytouch 4g at home...i know you have root access because you said you were able to backup and uninstall using titanium backup.. so i guess you have root access...but try the mount r/w to r/o and see what happens...

You can make the system r/w.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
i know that's not the exact code but it works just fine for me.

1. You can use Rom manager to backup..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186090
2. Busybox is a great tool for rooted users. It basically give you more linux / Unix based commands that you normally don't have access to. If you Google busybox you can find more info...

IMS Service won't stop stopping

I recently used flashfire to flash a debloat zip on my g930a. Since I did this I have been constantly getting a "IMS Service has stopped message" message on my phone. I've tried disabling message backups as suggested from googling but it doesn't help. What can I do?
EDIT: The zip I used appears to have been intended for phones running android 6.0.1 while I'm running 7

Are you able to get on root explorer and looking for it. When i had that problem i just deleted anything that had ims and everything was fine. Try that.
I'm really new to this so this might be dumb to ask but when I go to /system/priv-app/ and try and delete something (using the adb shell and the rm command) it tells me its read only. What do I have to do to remove it?

Unable to change permissions in /system

I've rooted my M9P with SuperSU, and I think that I've correctly decrypted the data partition. (i followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986/page2 )
I'm trying to move a GPS Spoofing app to system, but the system folder is R/O, and I've tried several different apps and commands to make it R/W, but nothing seems to work. I'm also unable to change permissions in data folder when I tested that. I've google'd myself to death and exhausted all solutions now, but to no avail. I cannot move apps to the system folder. The error I get from the "/system/app mover" app is
