Check if you have in your /system/app files with the extension .odex
If so you have odex rom
try this ...put the apk and the odex file from zip in your /system/app (make sure to hit the mount as r/w in your root explorer) and change permissions to rw-r--r--
Then reboot and check again

yes have quite a few odex files in the system/app folder. I did copy both files there and changed the permissions for both. How do I mount with ES File Explorer?

if you already copy them ,then your /system is already mounted as r/w

Thanks for posting I trashed mine by mistake as well
Anybody have any idea why copying the Gallery apk and odex files to the system/app folder, and setting the permissions to rw-r--r-- doesnt get the galery app to work?
bumping it up to try to get somebody who knows the answer to notice.
How can I install again a system Gallery app I accidentally deleted?
So far using ES File Explorer I copied the apk and odex files to /system/app folder, set permissions to rw-r--r--. The files are secGallery2_Galaxy.apk and secGallery2_Galaxy.odex.
It gives me a Gallery icon but clicking it just reopens the Home screen or it gives me a message "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped."

Try clearing its data. If all fail, just re flash with mobile odin or pc odin. Just make sure not to flash the data.img if the rom has one. Flashing that would clear user data.

If you mean to clear data in settings/manage applications, I did that and it didnt work. While writing this I though of clearing the cash in CWM. Does that have a chance of doing something?
Maybe the uninstall deleted a library file? Can you check /system/lib if there's any file with name gallery in it?

[Q] Manually installing system app, reboot, no .odex

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...

You can not mod a rom that is odexed...period, unless it is made for odex.

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?

Install a transparent notification bar, forgot to keep a copy of the original sysmui. Now i have no status bar and a black baground. If anyone can copy it from their phone, i really appreciated. Im on a active with mf3. Thanks

Could you go into a little detail on what happened and what you have done to try to fix it? I don't understand what your saying.
I think he wants the systemUI.apk for the active because he fubar'd his.

You can copy the file from root explorer without flashing. I was able to get a copy of the systemui and place it into the sys/app folder. Now everything is back to normal.

So you just copied the apk off his phone I'm assuming? I'm also assuming it's the same apk as the regular S4? (I'm just trying to get better knowledge so I can help somebody in the future.)

As the other person replied - with root access, you can download ES File Explorer, or Root Browser, give the app root access via SuperSU, navigate to the System > apps folder, find the file(s) you want, copy/move them where you need.

Yeah I'm well aware you can do that but I didn't know that apk would actually function like an apk if you did that. Just thought it was more to it than that.

As long as you have the appropriate odex file along with it and you know how to do it - it should be fine. You have to know how an APK file works, Applications are basically glorified ZIP archives. The java code is stored in a file called classes.dex and this file is parsed by the Dalvik JVM and a cache of the processed classes.dex file is stored in the phone's Dalvik cache.
An odex is basically a pre-processed version of an application's classes.dex that is execution-ready for Dalvik. When an application is odexed, the classes.dex is removed from the APK archive and it does not write anything to the Dalvik cache. An application that is not odexed ends up with 2 copies of the classes.dex file--the packaged one in the APK, and the processed one in the Dalvik cache. It also takes a little longer to launch the first time since Dalvik has to extract and process the classes.dex file.
If you are building a custom ROM, it's a really good idea to odex both your framework JAR files and the stock apps in order to maximize the internal storage space for user-installed apps. If you want to theme, then simply deodex -> apply your theme -> reodex -> release.

The solution would be to just delete the hosts file and restart the phone. On reboot play store will rebuild the hosts file and you should be able to connect.

This issue might not be due to host file... Even people running stock are having the issue and there host file will be exactly same as specified in OP

Hmm.. but deleting the host file and restarting the phone has always worked for me, whether i was on stock rom or custom... the other solution i can think of if this does not work is log out of google and login with a different id.. i think read this somewhere when i first faced the issue, but never had to use it..

Problem is not the host file. we need an ota by motorola to fix this "connection drop".
"Guides" like this should be deleted immediately as OP has no tiniest clue on what he is talking about. If access to Youtube/PlayStore were blocked via hosts file - it wouldn't work at all. Ever. Plus, a lot of guys with this issue are on stock ROMs with no root access and with locked bootloaders, so their "hosts" file can not be modified at all.
Being that said, OP is either:
a) troll
b) app developer (deleting hosts file would disable add blocking )
c) just another ignorant person

You will definitrely need Root for doing changes in hosts file.
Thus it is impossible that host will can be issue on unrooted stock as its hostfile is almost blank (localhost doesn't count)

well I can say that I have seen this isssue on several other phones as well. My secondary phone is also having the issue. My friends are also having this issue on other phones. So definitely not Moto's problem either I would say.

That is just completely wrong. You really think an app (which BTW never uses root) rebuilds the hosts file!!!

Again have u ever tried it? When i say you require root access, i mean to say you require it to delete the hosts file as you will not be able to do so with the stock file manager without root access..

As I said, hosts file is irrelevant here, unless its been altered to have an entry for the hostname of the playstore in it which points to an invalid IP. But let's face it, that is not the case.
If you have no connection at all though then your issue is different to the original issue in this thread.
I want the moderator to ban me.
Very nice.It helps me about my gadget.

Note 4 Bootanimation

I found this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/bootanimation-matrix-flash-recovery-t2952816
More bootanimation..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2677522
for those who wanted to change the boot animations i tried and works...i follow this instructions.
You can still use these animations without flashing them through recovery.
- extract the zipfile with winzip or 7zip(recommended) or winrar.
- find the qmg file. In case of the crt shutdown it is shutdown.qmg.
- place it on your sdcard.
- use root explorer or es file explorer(enable root in options) and rename the original one for example: from "shutdown.qmg" to "shutdown_old.qmg".
- copy and paste the one you placed on the sdcard in the /system/media folder.
- go to properties and set the permissions to : RW-R-R
-restart.
Thank you , worked like a charm. no more bright red verizon logo. woo hoo...
