You tried copy both files to system\priv-app? The files permissions are rigth(rw-r-r)? Did you clean caches?

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?

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?

Accidently uninstalled stock messaging - impossible to get system/app to r/w?

Is there no way to get system/app to r/w? Been trying every app and terminal command to let me remount so I can reinstall my backup of the messaging apk and it just doesn't work.
I use Root Explorer and have had no problem using"Mount R/W" in system/app.

Now it's giving me the option to update or new install this system app. Problem is I don't see an already installed version obviously.
try downloading a custom rom for your cellphone, just for extracting the messaging app

I'm not sure that bluetooth is an app. I don't have an app installed for it at least, and there is no bluetooth app in the app store...
really trying to avoid factory wipe since it would take at least two hours to reinstall everything
NO ma man you can find the Bluetooth app in this location /system/app
then replace it
Yes yes yes
Replacing app in /system worked for me..Thanks guys as it was quite frustating....

thanks for the reply
there is apparently no app in the system/app folder for bluetooth, which i'm guessing is the problem
now where the heck do i find the 'replacement'? There is no bluetooth app in the market. sorry for not knowing exactly what to do
The system/app contains the bluetooth app, take a look
And if you are running 4.4.2 I can upload the apps for you

yeah I meant that the bluetooth app is not in there at all. don't know why i accidentally said folder
not sure if i'm running 4.2.2 or what, how do i tell? gs4 that i've been using a custom rom called mint jelly ever since it came out back in June of last year, and have not made any further updates due to them not being necessary
You can tell by going to Settings > More > About Device > then you will find android version

thanks, ive never sideloaded an app before so if you wouldnt mind....
do i download on computer? and then after I extract I take the APK and push it through? I can lookup this process but just wondering if this is the route i'm supposed to be going next
Download "ES File Explorer" then click on option button
Then scroll down and turn on Root Explorer
Then click on root explorer and choose Mount Option and change the /system to rw
Then download the apps & extract them
You can extract them on pc, then copy the apps to SD Card
From SD Card copy them to System/app

really thankful for your help
i did get those exact files into my sys/app folder
restarted the device and bluetooth still wont work...really frustrating. hard to believe the only way to fix this might be to get a completely different custom ROM and resetup my entire device, which will take hours and i'm sure it's just a matter of time before I have some other problem.
Any suggestions welcome
Sorry I forgot the most important thing
Keep pressing on any app in the /System/app
And click properties
And look to the permission of the app
then keep pressing on the Bluetooth app and click properties and click change the permission of the bluetooth app to Permissions like the previous app
Reboot

[Q] Lg Gallery Application not Reinstalling

Hello all,
My device is an ls980 running rooted, stock kitkat. About a week after the ZVC update (kitkat), my Lg Gallery application stopped working. It would not open, giving me an error message saying that "gallery has stopped." So I tried an "uninstall" application from the market to uninstall the stock app, and then I attempted to restore/reinstall it again. Every attempt I have made has been unsuccessful and the app cannot be installed.
So my question is: how can I get the Lg Gallery application reinstalled and working properly?
Thank you, I appreciate anyone's help greatly.
How did you uninstall the stock gallery from the play store when it's not available on the play store and I'm sure the reason it's not installing is because the app needs to be placed in the system/priv-app folder and needs to be given the correct permissions
Sent from my LG-D800 running stock kk, rooted with philz using XDA app
I uninstalled the app using a "system app uninstaller" application. The APK file is still located in my system/priv-app folder, and I have even tried installing it from there using root explorer. What permissions need to be applied?

you apply the rw-r--r-- (0644) and then reboot, the phone should say android is upgrading and it should be working again

Those permissions are already applied to the file, but the APK still refuses to install even after a full reboot.

I copied the odex file over to the priv-app folder and added the permissions, but after a reboot, the gallery still will not install.
Perhaps the file is somehow damaged?

very odd indeed maybe you should find the apk/odex for your device or maybe placing them somewhere else like system/app

I was able to get the app installed again (although it did it on its own after a reboot and some tinkering...); however, the gallery still cannot open as before.

[REQ] Lg G2 stock system apps?

Can someone please extract their Lg g2 GALLERY apk AND odex? I deleted mine because I didn't like using it (actually preferred photos) and now I can't go to pictures from the camera app or save images to photos. This thread does not help me because every time I try to extract it using ANYTHING I get an error message, both on my phone and the computer. All I need is the stock gallery apk and odex.
HUGE THANKS
try extracting those files with total commander...
winrar also gives me errors, but extracting the files with total commander works without a problem

Place them in the system/priv-app and add the rw-r--r-- permissions then reboot and you should have the gallery installed

That didn't work either ��. I may just backup my phone and reset it. I doubt that they're going to install
