Try to move the files to priv-app folder and set the rigth permissions and reboot. If don't Works...flash your again your firmware/rom!

I moved the apk's I wanted to install into the system/app directory, changed the permissions, pushed the r/w button to remount the system and then tried installing the apps.
Here is where I'm at now, magic smoke live wallpaper installed fine but when I try to select it as my wall paper, it force closes. Not sured if I need another file. I then tried to install ocean waves, dandilion, and luminescence live wallpaprs but the installation failed on all 3 of those...
Any help is appriciated, thanks

Usually for me, I just copy the apk's into system/app, change the permissions, and reboot. Which apps are you trying to install?
Some apps will install im /system/app folder some will het fc's,and some apps will get fc's in regualar install but install fine in /system/apps folder.A tip:Sometimes an app gets fc when in system app folder however if you mod that file(change icon color,etc.) It will work fine!I dont know why that is maybe something to do with signature.
Moved to general as not development

Make sure you change the permissions of the files to match the permissions of other files in the system/app folder.
ive done that. The wallpaper is installed but when I try to view it in the wallpaper selecter, it forcecloses
Do I need an extra file?

you also need to set the correct permissions for the apk - its rw-r-r (use a root browser to changer permissions)
another way is to delete the apk from the system/app folder and then install it using system app installer (playstore)
then restart
Still Not Installed

Hi there, @kami2lo I have the file attached to this post. I hope it helps.
It's from the M11 snapshot of CyanogenMod.
You may need to force it into /system/app and adjust permissions accordingly. Use rw- r-- r-- if you need a reference. you can use either ES File Explorer or Root Explorer. Either way, mount r/w on /system and / prior to forcing this APK into the folder. Be sure to reboot your phone when you're done adjusting permissions.
Please hit thanks if this worked for you.

But you never specified TouchWiz until now. When you say stock, I give you AOSP. That camera app should still work. Please try to install it or force it into /system/app with chmod 667 in terminal. You know, when you delete a system app, especially a SAMSUNG system app, it's very difficult to bring it back.
Be careful with Samsung phones and what you change. It can have disastrous consequences.
Anyone can help me to install Cyanogen MMS apk on touchwiz lollipop , on I9505 ?
Btw, I managed to install Trebuchet on touchwizz and is fully working, but I need that MMS apk too.
Even a backup made with titanium backup would help me.
Thanks !
And please don't reply if you are a noob.
Are you trying to install them like regular apps, or are you copying them to /system/app or /system/priv-app as appropriate?

I copied it to both locations, I restarted my phone and now what?
Maybe I must copy it in a specific folder, but I don't know exactly where.
If you copied them to the proper locations Android should have updated on a reboot. Make sure the permissions are properly set. Other than that, if it's not working, e.g. force closing, then the app likely needs a supporting library not found in the Touchwiz ROM.

Ok. What is the proper folder? If you know it.
I did not find anything with sms
I mentioned the proper locations in post 2. MMS goes into /system/priv-app. The MMS directory, as all apps are now stored in their own directories, should have permissions rwxr-xr-x and the app itself should have permissions rw-r--r--.

If you're rooted you can force-install the app by moving the apk into the /sytem/app folder or /system/priv-app folder.
Note: System apps are installed in /system/app folder. User apps are installed in the /system/priv-app folder.
Then set the right permissions for the apk, reboot your device and you're done.

You had a similar app already installed and it was moved to sdcard
So now you have to identify which app is this and then uninstall it from your phone
Second option is to insert your sdcard into pc and then you will get /.android_secure folder then just look for the file and delete it
But i will recommend to remove deprecated app first.
