p.s what is RW-- r- r- ???
i cant found RW or r,r on permissions -.-
aaaand on description say: backup your original apk. lol But how does that?
iam overwhelmed XD

firstly the apk is not for install manually.
you need to move it to system/app using root explorer.
ffirstly copy the file to system
mount r/w
and change the permission to 644 or rw-r--r--
now move systemui.apk to system/app
and restart phone,
it should take effect.

You just saved my life man, thank you very much. I had lost my notification bar by downloading a theme through an in-app rom app. Thank you again!

so I tried installing a systemUI.apk, and lost my notification bar and lock screen.
I tried moving the original apk back but it wouldnt work.
on ESFile explorer, mount r/w has ro and rw options. which ones do I need to have checked?

Check both r/w.
And SystemUI.apk cannot be installed. Shouldn't be either.

copy systemui.apk from scdard to /system and apply permissions rw-r--r--. then move it to /system/framework. It will keep crashing after moving, but i just reboot by removing battery then everythings fine after boot.

lol, u move it to framework folder but the old one is still in system/app so u dont lose the old apk, if im not wrong.
the way to replace without bug is copy to system, set permission, then when u move to system/app, u should better rename the old one or delete them firstly after move new one in. replace directly may cause some bug.

I know that SystemUI.apk belongs to System/app but I didn't move it to framework folder only !!
I've moved it to System/app and set its permissions also put another copy of modded file in framework folder
I've requested this because I've seen all the people in this forum can replace this file and worked well but it's not well with me !!!

u should move to system, then set permission before move to system/app, and should rename the old apk or delete it instead of replace directly, DONT move directly to system/app, set permission after.
i do this way all the time and never see any bug. u can try some time

I was wrong in my first post, i meant, copy first custom SystemUI.apk to /system, then apply permissions rw-r--r--. Copy then the respective file to /system/app. Reboot.
If you happened to copy the file to /system/app without applying permissions first, you will get persistent Force Closes even when you reboot. Just Fix Permissions via Recovery.

Can´t use es explorer. Always if I move, my phone freeze
From other ROM is call this keyboard "AXT9IME.apk" so I have moved in to system/app used root explorer, but if I want move from my ext card apk, is write: can´t move because is just for read. If I want install normal apk from my card folder, always I see, Instalation....than instalation not done!

Okey, used Explorer... You cannot paste here because the file system is read-only!
thats all what I see if I want move
edit:
well, I have moved app by Es Explorer in app system folder.. Now If I want install it, will see installation......app is not installed....
edit2: I have restart my phone, my apk AXT9IME is in system/app folder, whan my phone start, tell me: samsung keyboard can´t work
System change read only. How do it
some idea?
For Stock Rom you need rooted phone.
There are many apps, you can use e.g. "Root Explorer" from Play Store.
I think there is a free version available.
Procedure for Root Explorer:
1. copy wished .apk to Storage on phone.
2. start Root Explorer
3. go to .apk you want to copy in system/app
4. select it and copy
5. go to system/app
6. in upper bar in the middle you can see mount status. (-ro)
7. change it to -rw by clicking on it and select item -rw
8. Superuser app flushes: grant access
9. Paste .apk in system/app
10. Restart your phone and have fun.
Feel free to ask if further problems occurs.

App probably not compatible. And free version of root explorer ( explorer) is already mounted r/w
EDIT: im pretty sure root explorer asks for root access on first startup

Yes! Is true, not compatible, I have folowed guide from teddytsen, all right, but after reboot after my phone freeze and tell me AxT9IME.apk (samsung keyboard) can´t work and stop!
I tested deodex .apk too and same problem always. And if I use Uninstaller Master and see in System apps, there is way to AxT9IME.apk normal- /system/app/AxT9IME.apk, but there is write "2.3.6"!
I want just same as I writed in my first message in atachement. But I don´t know if exist any compatible apk with my Stock or Custom ROM (I have problem with this in both).
In 4.1.2 JB is poor 3x4 grey keyboard... Don´t want it, maybe better downgrade

How do I change the perms to rw-r-r ? When I try editing the perms of /system/app/ folder using ES Root Explorer (root permission granted) it says operation failed. I cannot even move this APK from sdcard to /system/app/ folder, says permission denied.
What do you suggest?

Root permission is not granted to your file explorer.
Press the menu button while on es file explorer.
Then in tools set root explorer to "on".
You must be asked to grant superuser acces. Grant it
You are done !!!

It is granted mate, see this: http://i.imgur.com/3DEgtRi.png
Root Explorer is turned on as well.
Try this..
1. Copy the apk and paste it into /system/app -- you'll need to press the button on the top right that says "Mount R/W".
2. Long-press on the newly pasted apk file and select Permissions.
3. Change the permissions to User: Read - Write, Group: Read, Others: Read
4. When you click Okay, you should see "rw-r--r--" in the fine print under the apk name.
5. Click the Mount R/O button, then reboot.

See if other apps are granted super user permission.
If not try changing your superSu to superuser by CM.
If notthing works, you can flash it if you have a custom recovery like CWM.
