Um that isn't going to brick you. Especially since you're talking about system app. Worst thing to happen would be a reboot if you touched an app which was currently running.
But I've been using root explorer and it works great. Or if the file is on my computer I use adb push. Or even a flashable zip if you really are worried.

I used a file browser app and installed it over the existing one. Every time after that I was getting an error something .goo not responding. (SecPhone.apk) Trying to restor the call recording feature. I ended up doing a restore back to square one. No if I use root-explorer will it make a difference or should I use dab push? I would not know how to begging with that. could I use terminal and instal like I would if I was using the cwmtr.img install directions. but direct it to system/app?

Which file browser app did you use? Did you remember to set the permissions for the newly copied apk? Permissions in /system/app should be rw-r--r

No I did not set permissions. If I use Root-Explorer will that allow me to set permissions? I used Smanager to move the file.

Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V

Can I use RootExplorer to zip file them flash it? Or just move using RE?

Yes, Root Explorer will allow you to change permissions as long as you aare rooted.

Root Explorer is a file manager, use to move the file to the appropriate folder and set permissions and reboot. I know you can create a zip & tar file, don't know if it would be flashable though.

Smanager isn't a good file system tool. Try root browser lite tap and hold functioning is perfect. Has options for copy paste and permissions

I am using Frosty JB v6. I asked in the developer thread and I got a reply http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874063&page=546
I tried using RootExplorer and I was still getting error messages after be booting. Is there a way to make it flash able? What am I doing wrong or is it just never going to work? Do I need to start looking for a rom that has it functional on the build?

Did you reset permissions to match the rest of the files in the folder?
And you probably need to wipe dalvik and cache in recovery.

Use root browser lite, you can get it from the market it's a freeware then copy the app you want to system/app ....no permission stuff needed

Please know what you're talking about first before posting suggestions. Especially when it pertains to system directory permissions. System/app directory uses rw-r--r-- as the permissions. Meaning owner has read write permissions while everyone else only has read. Not setting permissions correctly can lead to many many many issues.

I vote for a rom that has it and works where you don't need to mod stuff, yet. Learn all this stuff with something you don't need, like a sound mod (DSP) or something.

Livewallpaper on Bonsai

Hi All,
I was wondering if I could put out a request for some APKs. I would like to have live wallpapers on Bonsai and have tried putting livewallpaper.apk and the picker into my Epic but I don't have Root Explorer and I can't seem to change the permissions on those files. Right now all of the APKs I found have Read Yes Write Yes and the other one No. All of the APKs in my app directory have Read Yes Write No and other one No. Could someone post those APKs with permissions set like that? I don't know if that is my exact problem or if it is worth it to buy RE for only that purpose.
TIA,
DD
I believe its been mentioned before that ES File Explorer brings most of the Root Explorer functionality for free. I could be wrong though since ive never tried it myself. Worth a shot though if its just a permissions issue.

Thanks. I have tried everything. I could not change the permissions using sdx or ES File manager. All I could do with those programs was access the system directories. Unless I am doing something wrong, I will either need to get Root Explorer and change the permissions or get altered livewallpaper apks.

OK. I think I may be confusing some people.
I would like to have Live Wallpapers in Bonsai since it's been removed. I did some research and found that you need to install the livewallpaper apks into the system/app directory. I did that using ES File Manager and rebooted. It didn't work. I did some more research and a few people had the same issue. The solution was to make sure the permissions in the livewallpaper apks was exactly the same as the permissions as the other apks in the apps directory. The apks in the directory all have Read Yes, Write No and Hidden No. All of the livewallpaper apks I found had permissions set up as Read Yes, Write Yes and Hidden No. I figure if I change the Write from Yes to No, it might work. I'm not 100% positive which is why I don't know if it's worth it to buy Root Explorer just to experiment. I'm hoping someone can provide me with the livewallpaper and livewallpaperspicker apks with altered permissions that have those settings.
Estewa_619, I will try that ROM. Thanks!
Tried the Frankenstein ROM livewallpaper apks and it still didn't work. The permissions are still set up as Read Yes, Write Yes and Hidden No.

This is very easy to solve. Go to midnight rom and download it to computer. Open up the midnight extras folder and you will find lots of zip files in there that are all flashable in CWM. Just extract the folder, then copy the live wallpaper zips you want onto your sd card, then flash in CWM.
Alternatively, what I normally do is download the rom you want to flash (Bonsai). Open it up on your pc. Navigate to system/apps. Paste the livewallper apks into that directory. Then flash normally. This will include any files you want in the system/app folder.

I hope this help as not to sound offensive but u seem a bit newbish and 7zip isa great tool for viewing zip files w/o extracting them took me a good deal of time 2 find this handy tool, hope this helps ya out...

Don't know what ROM you are on... your knowledge of pushing apps to /system (ie., via adb), etc., so I'm attaching the stock samsung keyboard (plain grey) with auto-correct functionality. You need to be rooted at least. Copy the attached apk to your phone... then, using your favorite root file manager (like Root Explorer, etc) copy to /system folder first... fix permissions to rw.r..r.. then, MOVE to /system/app. It will ask if you want to replace the current "SamsungIME.apk", answer yes. You should be good to go.

Those are folders/files in the flashable zip. Let's try the simpliest approach first.
1. Download "Root Explorer (File Manager) from the PlayStore, and install
2. From my post #6 above, save the attached file (SamsungIME.apk)... on your phone's sdcard
3. Open Root Explorer, and navigate to the folder on your phone (sdcard) where you put the SamsungIME.apk... long press it, then select "Copy"
4. now while still within Root Explorer, navigate to /system folder, and hit "Paste" (make sure you mount as R/W.. it's the button at the top. If you are mounted as Read Only, you'll get an error message "You cannot past here because the file system is read only". Just hit the "Mount R/W" toggle at the top of screen.
5. Now, "SamsungIME.apk" is in your /system folder. You need to fix permissions. Long press "SamsungIME.apk" and select "Permissions". There are boxes with green check marks. toggle the boxes so that you only have green check marks in: Owner: R W ; Group: R ; Others: R. Hit "OK"
6. Now, long press "SamsungIME.apk" file again, and select "Move"
7. Navigate to /system/app (you should already be in /system, so just tap the "app" folder
8. Make sure you are still mounted as "R/W", if so, tap the "Paste" key at bottom. this will put "SamsungIME.apk" in the /system/app folder
9. if you did all this correctly, you should be good to go...

It appears you are not understanding some of the android basics...and that can be extremely dangerous... especially since you are rooted. From you screenshot, you show zip files in your /system folder. Per my previous post, I stated to copy "SamsungIME.apk" to /system... fix permissions... then MOVE to /system/app. Your screenshot shows zip files in your /system folder (i.e., "SamsungIME.zip"). My attachment is the apk file itself. So apparently when you downloaded, it zipped it for compression purposes. YOU NEED THE APK. I suspect it is inside that zip file.. so you'll need to know how to unzip that zip.. and get the ".apk" The APKs goes into the /system/app folder (Not /system). Try again, and get the SamsungIME.apk out of that zip... copy that apk to /system.. fix permissions... then move (not copy) to /system/app (it's a sub folder within /system). If this didn't work, you have done something wrong.
Damn I had the feeling some was wrong. So should I get that out of the system folder? How do I do that ? I cant delete or move them. Does it harm if I leave them there? Ya im trying that now how yiu explained the apk I get it . Thanks alot tho for ur patients

I use Root Explorer... if you long press the file, you get the option to delete file. Delete the ".zip" files in /system folder. Your screenshot looks like ES File Explorer (or something similar). You should be able to "select" that zip file, then delete. Go back to my Post#6 and download the APK file (SamsumgIME.apk)... do not zip it... you should be able to download file as apk. Then follow my previous instructions. Again, get the APK file (not .zip) to /system folder.... then fix permissions... then MOVE (don't copy or you will leave a copy of the apk behind in /system) to /system/app folder. System apk files belong in the app subfolder of system (/system/app). When you go to paste the apk in /system/app, you will be asked to replace existing file... replace it. Try again... report back.
Ok thanks will do that tomorow . I use es explorer yes. When I try to delete it says file cannot be deleted. Cant see any apk file I use windows 8 maybe tahts why?

You need a root file explorer. ES File Explorer is probably the best free one.
Though it is my opinion that Solid Explorer is the best overall.
The apk says both read and write are enabled but I still can't copy it into the system/app folder.

If you use file explorer first select root explorer, then grant it root access when prompted, then select mount R/W and select system, after that you will be able to copy
