I am using AOKP M3 with Black Exodus theme installed, but I doubt that matters.
This is so frustrating. Regardless of the system apk I am trying to install, it NEVER shows up in the app drawer. Here are the steps I use.
adb remount
adb push [Systemapk] /system/app/
make sure permissions are set to rw-r--r--
reboot (shouldn't have to, but doesn't do anything)
I've installing multiple different system apps but it never works. NITROZ kindly made a zip for me, but it's app specific and I shouldn't have to use it.
Any help is greatly appreciated
stupid question but have you checked the permissions on system/app/ ?
I would of thought rw rw r !!

Looks like I'm the stupid one , adb remount gives you the permissions!!

Yeah, all the apk permissions in system/app are the same
Edit-misread. Does your device show up using ADB devices command?

Wow, you have got to be kidding me. It doesn't work with ADB, but when I cut/paste using root explorer it works.
ARGHHHH. Well, at least I got it somewhat working.
And yea, adb devices lists my phone.
Scratch that. The root explorer method worked once and now nothing.
I have rebooted. Tried with sign and unsigned apps. Modified permissions. ARGH!
Maybe u can help. I have cm9 music apk on my SD. It says in es explorer cut and paste to system/app. Is that a folder. I can't find where to paste the apk to. Do I paste it to a folder? Please help. I'm still learning.

CM9 music does not need to go in the /system/app folder as it is not necessary. If all you want to do is use the app, just leave it where it is and click to install it.

make sure you tap the Mount R/W button in Root Explorer when you are in the system/app folder. It should be somewhere at the top of the screen. Then you should (in theory) be able to copy anything to the system folders.

This is the Gallery.apk from SalvageMod1.1. I'm not sure if it's the exact one you're looking for, but it came from a Gingerbread Rom.

As the other guy said, either adb push it to system/app, like this
adb remount
adb push Gallery.apk /system/app
adb reboot
or, as was already instructed, you can use a file explorer, such as root explorer, or es file explorer, to move the Gallery.apk to the /system/app folder. Then fix permissions and reboot

You can just copy and paste it to /system/app. Using a file explorer, but you must set the right permissions afterwards, or if you have a pc, you can use adb, just to push the .apk

when you say "push the .apk" do you basically mean move the downloaded .apk-file to /system/app then install it from there or what?

No push is a command used by adb, so you would use the command "adb push xxxx.apk /system/app" and that would move the apk to that location, you dont need to install apps to /system/ just copy them there

The devs do all of this for free, remember that. Buy them a drink! ♥
it's actually the vold binary found in /system/bin/vold from cm7 ;-) you'll have to change permissions on it once you push it back to /system/bin/ (i just did a 777), then reboot
that's just to have the sdcard properly mount at both /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard. if you wanna do the mass storage you'll have to download the app and do the commands i'm not really a fan of it because unlike other devices, every single filesystem present on our device will mount with the app, so system and data and the sdcard will mount and create like 8 windows on your computer
So the zip file above does the sd card mount with that update or not or is a new update file imminent.
Any hints as to what is or isn't working? At least a vague Idea? Wifi?

The zip above was only meant for other devs to see if they could get the sdcard working but now it's working.

Wifi works. Video playback (Netflix) and some audio (in Angry Birds) doesn't work. Runs pretty good though.
I'm so excited. Thanks for all your hard work guys.
I've had some random spouts of sound working. sometimes the keyboard will randomly start making those key noises, and it's started working playing angry birds before, but not for long.

Flashable zip with working sd, the launcher from CM9 and the USB mount app. I haven't tested it yet (i am about to flash it). If this isn't allowed then please remove it.
Basically its got vold added to bin, the set_perm line in the updater-zip for it, trebuchet in /system/app and the ICS Usb mounter apk in /system/app.

I flashed this over the last one with no problem. However the USB Mass Storage Tools don't work. I keep getting an error: "You cannot enable UMS without a USB connection."
When it boots you need to do the following:
Check set as default then select:
Trebuchet

If the USB mounter comes up just press the back button at the bottom.

How exactly do you set permissions to 777? God I sound like a noob. Lol

If you use my zip you dont need to set the permissions. However if you are doing it on the device (the way described in first post):
adb shell (or terminal emulator)

I noticed that force closes would lock up my phone with ICS ROMs enough to make it completely unusable at times. I noticed that this is so because a system state dump is done every time it hangs by default. I don't know how to disable this internally, but found out how to prevent dumpstate from running when this occurs.
Code:
su
busybox chmod a-x /system/bin/dumpstate
Enjoy!
So we just open a terminal emulator and type in that code?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
An easier way is to navigate to /system/bin in Root Explorer, select dumpstate, long press, change permissions and remove execute permissions for all (system, user, etc).
Update: It's critical to ensure you have "R/W" permissions on the folder before doing this, if it reads "R/O" at the top, make sure you change it (change it by clicking on the "R/O", it will change to "R/W").

yea that happened to me what i did was flashed darkside cache wipe n booted then went into manage apps, root explorer then cleared data/cache for the app (i have a feeling i didnt even need to darkside cache wipe i probably just needed to clear app data but those are the 2 steps i did anyways)
Sorry for the late responses. It seems like others covered the spread, though. You can type those commands into a terminal or with adb using adb shell. I've never done it with Root Explorer (I use ES...it's free and can browse/remount as root), but make sure it has root permissions before continuing. Also make sure that the /system partition has been mounted as read-write; it won't work otherwise.
Can confirm it works with root explorer just make sure you switch to r/w
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I posted about this working in Root Explorer, without trying it firsthand, I've tried it now, and it does work. The reason is this, the original post's command simply reads: for all (that's the "a" part) users remove execute (the "-x" part) permissions. You can mimic this functionality in any App with the ability to change file permissions. It's critical to ensure you have "R/W" permissions on the folder before doing this, if it reads "R/O" at the top, make sure you change it.
This will essentially odex all files in your /system/framework and it will do it straight from the Android UI via my personal favorite app ... this is good because it frees up memory, makes UI transitions cleaner, and reduces DVM size.
NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO ODEX YOUR /SYSTEM/APP/ DIRECTORY THEN TRY TO ODEX USING THIS METHOD. YOU WILL HAVE A BAD DAY. 0_o framework must me odexed before system apps
1. download the odex.zip here --> PURPLE
2. extract all files with a file explorer, i prefer root explorer or fx file explorer
3. place the extracted folder and all of it's contents in /data/local/tmp ... so you should have /data/local/tmp/odex/+(misc files in new odex directory)
4. give the new directory and ALL contents FULL permissions - full read, write, and execute perms. You will need to set them all individually. the odex folder, and all contents. your file explorer, if it has taken you this far, should be able to accomplish this. Also, mount your system as writeable as well!
5. download this app TERMINAL EMULATOR dont worry it is free. open the app
Type the following commands - each new line should be executed with the enter key:
su (hit enter, it will ask for root)
/data/local/tmp/odex/odex (hit enter, you will see
you will see a bunch of outputs. there will be a message when it is done (honestly, like 10 seconds if that) saying something like "enjoy your hybrid ROM"
type "reboot recovery" (without the quotes)
device will boot into recovery immediately after you hit enter...
wipe cache and dalvik cache once more each, and reboot your device. PROFIT :good:
*Disclaimer - I don't take donations, just hit the thanks button, and the thanks button for anybody I mention in my thread.
typing su in doesn't request root permission. I am definitely rooted, not sure what's going on.
EDIT: Got it, the su was working but I didn't realize that it might just change from $ to # instead of asking for permission. I also had to grant not just the directory, but all of the files in the odex folder full permission, which might have just been a reading comprehension error on my part. Worked flawlessly after that. On Infamous 2.2

your super user app is probably set by default to allow access. also, i will update the OP to be a little more clear about setting the perms on the directory AND it's contents.

Yes after you odex your framework you can odex system apps.
The main thing about odexing is your apps load faster and it frees up memory in your /data/ partition because you are removing a good chunk of dalvik cache.
Also does improve performance just a tick, by that I mean general UI responsiveness is improved.
Thanks!
