Not sure what could be causing this. I have not had any problems with it since install. You could try leaving all files in place and clicking on the apk. And selecting install. Also did you change permissions to RW- R- R-?

Looks like the lib files need to be set to RW-R-R as well. Maybe just update the OP and state that under the steps because it is only mentioned to set permissions on the apk files

It is the new one, from a leak before S5 came out. VZW decided not have it on their version as VZW likes to make you have only what THEY want on your device.
The lay out is different, has the option to have a bookmark home or a physical homepage. It has a home button unlike chrome. You can download videos direct from this browser as well where on chrome alot of times it would not download files and i had to use yet another app taking up space on my phone. I believe it allows for flash as well unlike chrome.
Its all about personal preference, i like google as my homepage and not my favorites or bookmarks, i like the lay out and options, i like the home button in the browser, it is plenty fast, i like direct downloads, and i havent tried a flash page yet.. but on previous versions it worked great.
Hope this helps!
Oh yeah and the Air browse and motion controls do not work in chrome but do within this browser... need to be turned on within phone settings of course.

Hi. Been searching everywhere and cant find a way to reinstall timescape.
I have tried system/apps but the apk is not there anymore or anything that is connected to Timescape.
The reason I deleted timescape is because it is one of the reasons that the battery life is so bad on the X10.
Now I cant get to my contacts. I am using acontacts.apk but for some reason the resolution is very bag on my contacts pics.
I have found a timescape.apk but it says it cannot install on my device. Maybe the apk is compatible for certain builds?
Maybe someone can suggest another app for contacts with a better pic resolution.
Thanks in advance
Oh yes : using rooted 026
Here a the Timescape.apk file
Thanks man.

You need to correct the permissions of the apk file once you have copied it over to system\app otherwise it will give you the error you stated in your earlier post.

I truly think you are right but please tell him to set permissions as it will not be visible unless u set permission's and in my view use link2sd for these purposes as it includes an option directly to convert it to a system or user app............ :cyclops:
Speaking of permissions, after you move an apk to /system/app...set the permissions to rw-r-r. I think both shivamsejal and deathnotice forgot to say that. And link2sd is good too, but who wants to remain a noob in these things?

You did tell him to set permissions, but how will he know that the permissions should be set to rw-r-r or rwx-r-r or r-rw-rwx, etc.? There are so many different kinds of permissions. Permissions should be the right one, not just any one.

actually mms.apk can be removed and you can still recieve messages,
if you use go sms, handecent, pansi you'd be able to recieve messages with or without stock messaging,
the phone.apk is the one reponsible for the cellular radio decoding and recieving,
if you remove that you'll have no signal
Replacing apps to system.
I have the repencis 3.5 advanced with PCB blue theme, awesome rom BTW! As you know it comes with system replaced. I want to replace stock browser with chrome browser as system app, unless you have better faster browser . Open to suggestions. I followed directions but it didn't work. Please help, thank you! Blackpanther, thanks for the system/app/paste app info it worked great. Shevas I still haven't needed the permissions setting but thanks for the info aswell.

When converting a user app to system, what else changes besides permissions? I'm using cod rom with katsugi kernel. Some apps wont work properly even though permissions are set right like quickpic on this rom, but it worked as system app on repencis. I will appreciate a reply thanks

You need to extract lib files of apk and put it in /system/lib and set permission to rw-r--r... use root explorer tap on the apk then tap on view it will open up contents of apk file navigate to lib folder and choose folder named armeabi cause that is the lib files for our phone which is armv6 extract contents of that folder aand follow the procedure i gave abive on where to put them
touch /human/brain
chmod +x /human/brain
echo "make thirdzcee a sandwich" /human/brain

Proverbs 20:7
So I got the quickpic app to work. Thanks for that info. But I tried to do the same with ics picture gallery and I followed the steps but no lib folder. This was also a system app on another rom. I looked for the lib files of this app in the system/lib but there was nothing there. Btw I was having trouble with smart keyboard pro but I found and fixed permissions in system/lib for that too. Thanks! So where else can the lib files hide if not in system/lib or apk/"view"/lib/armeabi/? Thanks again 3rdzc

I still have not bought the Razr I (but I'm getting close to) and the flash player missing for me it is a problem.
So I started digging for more info and now I have extracted from the Orange San Diego ROM (supk_eng.release.mfld_pr2.BKB4OUK.devr3.i2847)
the files needed to try to see if they work on the Razr (same x86 platform).
So you need only to copy the attached 2 files like this
into
/libs/plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer goes libflashplayer.so (from the zip)
and into
/app goes FlashPlayer.apk
Anyone want to try and post the result ?

I guess it means system/app and system/libs
the /* directories are in RAM (except data, cache, system and the radio dir) and if you add a file in it, it will be deleted at reboot
(Don't have a razr i, but I may be buying one in the next days)
But to access system/app and system/libs you need Root Explorer which means... rooting the Razr i. I'm not against root at all but it would be nice if there was also a possibility to this without root.
Am following this thread closely...... would love to see flash on this and then would probably get one myself. Have one temporarily at the moment (but can't root it as it's not mine) so if there is anything you need me to try that doesn't require rooting let me know.
First i need to say:
bad description...
and the link is dead cause the page has db errors...
so i guess its /system/lib instead of /system/libs and i personally dont have a plugins folder, so i created one and put in the so file...
pushed the flashplayer.apk to the /system/app folder and rebootet...
seems to be installed, though, flash isnt working...
tried with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onlinetvrecorder.SchoenerFernsehen2
and it tells me i have 11.0.1 installed but it doesnt work, shows me the icon "no plugin available"...
so what now?

I agree - the description is wrong. So are the files attached. You need the files from the “San Diego system dump 4.0.4″ and they need to go in the following paths:
/system/lib/plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/libflashplayer.so
/system/app/FlashPlayer.apk
I got it working by moving libflashplayer.so first, then FlashPlayer.apk, then rebooted. Unfortunately it only works in the stock browser.
Here is the files needed from the “San Diego system dump 4.0.4″:
dl.dropbox.com/u/19117372/RAZRI_flash.zip
still not working for me guys...

So just to confirm I understood correctly:
1) root phone so have access to system folders
2) Replace /system/lib/plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/libflashplayer.so with file from “San Diego system dump 4.0.4″:
dl.dropbox.com/u/19117372/RAZRI_flash.zip
3) Replace /system/app/FlashPlayer.apk with file from “San Diego system dump 4.0.4″:

4) Reboot phone
5) Flash should work on Rarz i stock browser?
Let me know, Thanks

I'm a bit of a noob at this, so excuse me if I'm wrong BUT
You shouldn't need to root the phone to get access too the system folder. I can get into the exact location you mentioned by using File Manager? (on an unrooted phone)

I am pretty sure that you can only modify files in that path with root access.
Just root your phone, you don't lose warranty by that, as you can always unroot.

But you'll have to unlock the phone first do you not? Motorola will know the phone has been unlocked as they provide the code required. Is there a way to root without unlocking the boot loader?

Thanks mate I'm gonna give this one a try. Actually I flashed an icon pack for S5. It's working great but after a few reboot it suddenly changed to white icons. Not a big deal but it's ugly. Haha!
By the way, if I want to port a different stock keyboard from another custom ROM the procedure is the same? Just replace the apk file on the system and set the write permissions?

Yes just replace the apk, set permission and reboot.
Perhaps if you use password or pin on lockscreen you better install third party keyboard and set it as default just in case something gone wrong you can still unlock your phone after reboot. Then setup back samsung keyboard as default. Or just use swipe lockscreen.
But yes if done as you said shouldn't be a problem

I tried it yesterday. I replaced the SecSettings.apk with the apk that you sent me. I replace the permissions with rw-r-r and after I reboot the phone then the Settings is missing. I didn't saw an odex file on my Root Explorer. good thing that I have my Nandroid Backup.
Actually I thought that this happen because of the flashable zip for the S5 icon pack but my bad. This happen because I accidentally press an Option on the XBlast Tools to show the icons on Settings as color white. After the reboot that resolve my problem. Thanks for the effort mate
So I'm trying to make some changes to my apns-config file but since it is system I am unable to edit. How can I change the properties to allow me to do it? I'm currently on OB2. I've tried numerous root explorers and file explorer in android studio.

Root explorer allows me to edit anything.
You need to pay for it.. Plus root access has to be requested and accepted.
I've used it today in lower level files and folders.
Once I'm in the file i use an app called quick edit to edit actual files, this program also requests root.
This one's free

I must be using a different Root Explorer. It doesn't have any option to pay for it. It's by Speed Software. Is it the same?

I went to play store and checked my purchases and I paid for it back 2013 so I'm guessing I am using the same one as you yet I still can't edit. Anything I try fails.

What are you editing? And what with?
Is it a file you're opening? If so what with? If it's a text file then it'll need also to be root enabled.
Hence why I use quick edit..normal editors don't have root access so cannot save to restricted areas.
Total commander text editor and I tried Quick Edit. It's the apns-config.xml file. I have some apn tweaks I want to try out.

Where is that file I'll try
Only other reason might be because it's contiguous, in which case just copy it then edit then overwrite.

Yep same issue here can't edit. Try to make a copy that's possible. Then edit, then copy back.
You may need to change permissions within the file.
Root explorer: press and hold, permissions, allow read/write
Gets the permissions I've got.
So I guess just add write

I've tried all of that to no avail. I would think I could at least change the permissions.
You can't edit system, product, vendor. They all are read only on stock. This is because of the new partition system introduced by Google on devices launched with Android 10.
Nothing you can do about it. You now have to rely on magisk.

I'm on Magisk. Can you elaborate?

You need to use a module of some sort. Create one yourself with the edited file so magisk "replace" it systemless-ly.
How can I use systemless-ly ?
