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.

SystemUI.apk belongs to /system/app, not framework folder.

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.

SystemUI.apk not Install

Hello,
I have my Arc 2.3.4 successfully Root
and i have a problem. I wanted to install the following file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342033
@ Download Nr 5. (SystemUI STOCK 42 COLOURED CUSTOM BAR.apk)
And if I file with the "Root Explorer" want to install, Come one message:
"Application is not installed" and when i change the permissions say he me: >>"permissions change was not Successful. Please Note that some file system (e.g SD card) do not allow permission changes"<<
and when i move file to SD/System/App say: " you cannot paste here because the file is read only"
1. i dont speak englisch
2. this is all complicated
please you can help me?
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.

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

You need to goto /system/app and replace the dialertabactivity.apk with the one you want. Set permissions to rw-r--r-- and finally, reboot.
i tried and it sad move error...read only file system...i am using astro file manager...

set permissions from r/o to r/w
copy and paste the file to system/apps folder
then long tap the file and set permissions to:
r-w
r
r

Goto /system/app and delete the old dialertabactivity.apk and contacts.apk. Make sure system is mounted as r/w. If you are not sure which apks are the old ones, move one of the copies to another folder and reboot. If the dialer and contacts are not what you wanted, replace them with the one you moved to another folder.
wen i click on icon it says application is not installed in your phone...i check in folder too and there is only one dialeractivity file..

[Q] accidentally deleted clock after root (4.04)

I rooted my phone following this thread for 4.04 successfully, but I accidentally deleted the system clock app while trying to get rid of the bloatwares. (I think it's called clock 1.0 in root uninstaller)
I checked the system/app folder and I have a file called "clockPackage,odex", but I don't have the "clockPackage.apk" file. Is that the file I need to get the default system clock app back? If yes can someone please upload it for me? otherwise what do I need to do to get it back?
Thanks in advance!
Just open up the rom you have wherever its saved extract the clock.apk. Then copy and paste it to system/app with the same permissions as the other apps r-w-r-r or 644 and root. Then reboot when it boots back up go to app drawer and you will see the clock app again.

thanks for the reply! sorry for my noobiness, but which file is the rom and how do I extract it? I looked through the unzipped files I used for rooting and didn't find any apk files
If you are rooted get root explorer to open the zipped rom then extract it to sd card then copy and paste like i said.

took a while for me to find the right rom haha, but I solved the problem, thank you so much!

[Q] right way for battery z2 with animation

how to chane battery to battery z2 with animation
plz plz help me
There are two ways you can go about this
1. You can just get the z2 systemui.apk and replace it with yours inb /system/app while setting its permissions to rw-r--r--
Download link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705713
2. OR you can go about this the more advanced way. Follow this only if ypu have any experience in compiling and decompiling apks. The advantage for this method is that you get to keep your own systemui and just change the battery. First go to the link above and download the systemui.apk. Decompile it. Now also copy your own systemui.apk to the internal sd card. Decompile that also. Copy the battery images from the new systemui to the old on from the /res/drawable-hdpi folder. Recompile your old systemui. Move it into /system. Change its permissions to rw-r--r--. move it to /system/app while overwriting the one that already exists there. Reboot your phone.

Are you deodexed?
I don't think you are. If you are not, just replace the systemui.apk again and also delete the systemui.odex. Make sure you delete that odex file. Then reboot.

[APP Request] Stock S6 video player

Hi there,
I accidentally deleted the video stock app from my phone after rooting and did not have a back up of it. Now when i play recorded videos from the gallery, I don't have a player to play it!
Can anyone please give me a link to the stock APK?
Thank you! Much appreciated!
-H
Here you go..
Hi thank you. I tried to install it, with a root Explorer too... Thing is after doing so it doesn't work probably because I didn't do it correctly.
Could someone tell me how to install it correctly?
Been a year since I've been into android hacking stuff ^. ^
Extract the folder and place into your /system/priv-app folder and set the correct permissions and reboot. You can check the right permissions by looking at the permissions of other folders and files in /system/priv-app directory.

I'm rooted. Using es Explorer
Any other solutions?
Thanks a lot!

Is the arm64 folder supposed to be placed somewhere different or in the priv-app folder with the apk?
Because I put everything where it was supposed to be and set the permissions correctly for the folder and apk and still when I restart "unfortunately video has stopped working
