Apparently you have to install the launcher as a system app. Not sure how to do this

Assuming this stays open, you have to move the APK into /system/app/ which requires root.

Yes I found that out but I'm not rooted ,so I'll have to wait

@Mercz23 that white color on the dock is only present if you're using android nougat. On my Nexus 5, 6.0.1 no white BG, on custom 7.0 rom, there is a White bg

You don't NEED root, if you have TWRP recovery you can use the file manager under advanced to move the apk, just make sure you set the CHMOD permissions to 0644 before rebooting.
I have action launcher running as a system app in the same way without using root and losing android pay.
If you have stock recovery as an img file you can even use TWRP to reflash stock recovery to keep OTA's.

Since I have it running on a Nexus 7 with a custom Nougat ROM I would think so. Also had it before on my OP3 using she method as my previous post for both devices, you don't NEED root, it makes it easier sure but you can still use it as a system app without root. As such Android Pay, etc will work fine.

Thanks you very much Bro
for your reply.

You can install an app as a system app through adb. (Root)
Step 1. Put the apk on your device:
adb push action3.apk /sdcard/
Step 2. Enter these commands:
*******Replace "filename.apk" with the apk you are trying to install *******
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /sdcard/filename.apk /system/priv-app
chmod 644 /system/priv-app/filename.apk
mount -o ro,remount /system
mount -o ro,remount /system
exit
exit
Step 3. Now reboot the device:
adb reboot

Help Installing Android Browser

I am posting here because I wan't able to post on the ROM page. I am a long time reader but have, for the first time, found a question I need answered that I haven't been able to find by simply reading. I am running a JB Rom (4.1) and this particular rom came with Google Chrome as the default browser. I want to keep the Rom but install the default Android browser. I have downloaded the apk and moved it into my system apps but I can figure out how to get it to install. Any help on this issue would be much appreciated. Thanks.
You need to make sure the permissions are the same as the other system apps and then reboot.

How do I do that ? I have tried fixing permissions in Recovery, but other than that I'm not sure how to do it.

Root explorer or es file manager find the /system/app should be browser.apk then hold on it and select properties and change the permissions. Should be the first row completely checked then the next row should only have the first two checked.

You should be able to download any of the jelly bean roms and pull MMS.apk from it.

I have "MMS.apk" in my system/app folder but it's not installing the messaging app. What should i do to reinstall the stock messaging app. Please guide me through the process.
Are the permissions set correctly?
It doesn't let me change permissions. And prompts "Mms.apk permissions cannot be changed because the file system is read only."

Exactly what I told you, if you're using root explorer. Mount to "R/W", copy and paste file in system> apps, set permissions like the guy below me suggested and reboot.

Its not supposed to be in system/root/. Its supposed to be in system/app/.

Sorry my bad, the "MMS.apk" is in system/app folder and the permissions are same. But still nothing. I've tried rebooting several times. And also tried wiping cache and dalvik , but still not installed.
The only thing I did which could've been the reason for the uninstall is that I backed up the app through "ROM toolbox" and then restored it, after that i deleted the backup. And after a reboot the messaging app was gone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
C'mon guys. Anyone got an idea how to re-install it in my situation?

As a test, I also removed MMS ( have a backup copy), rebooted, replaced it into system/app and changed permissions as earlier, rebooted and it came back. Sounds like a reflash for you bud.

4.2 apps package

For those that don't want to fully update to 4.2 but want some of the benefits... check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991734&page=20
Note-- I didn't flash this zip, I extracted the contents and installed the ones that I wanted
The only thing that isn't working correctly for me is the photosphere
If I were to extract the updates that I want, would that be done on the tablet or do I hook up to my PC? I'm not sure how to do this. Do i just flash them once they are extracted or are they apk files and i just load them? Can you point me in the right direction please? Thank you.

Actually I'm finding it is just easier to flash the zip. It works fine provided you have busybox installed. If there are apps you don't want to install, just delete the apk from the zip (yes they are apk files)
the reason I suggest this is because some of the apks have lib (.so) files associated with them (the gallery, for example, dosent work correctly without its libs)
Extra note the updater script in the zip will remove gallery, stock keyboard and deskclock.apk
I flashed the zip and now every time I try and go into settings of the clock or set a timer, I get a FC.

[ROM-AOSPA] [JB 4.3] ParanoidAndroid 3.99-RC2 [Nexus 10] 21-SEP-2013

ParanoidAndroid for AOSP 4.3 (JLS36G)
Work in Progress
Please make sure you have backups for anything you don't want to lose.
Caution is advised. No promises this will not eat your device and take over your home.
Google apps are not official, these have PA Specific change, we have tested all apps but you could still encounter issues.
If you have an issue please make sure it is repeatable, capture logcat/dmesg, etc and post to pastebin or similar.
Installation
Update your recovery to the latest version. Pre 4.2 recoveries can mess up your sd card/storage. We recommend TWRP.
Download pa google apps: From GOO Updated 17-SEP-2013
Download rom: From GOO Updated 21-SEP-2013
Follow PA on Google+ for changes and other info
Perform a factory reset in recovery, unless you are already on PA 3.94+ (or if you run into problems)
Flash ROM first, then gapps
Wipe dalvik & cache
Reboot and wait, first bootup can take a little time
Enter your Google account info, press home when you encounter the black screen
Please do not restore system apps, system data and Google apps. This can cause bootloops and other problems due to mismatches coming from CM to AOSP and moving from Android version 4.1.2 to 4.2 to 4.3

Updates
04-AUG-2013 - Fixed usb storage mounting and settings crash.
Reserved 2
Reserved for future use.
I just got the update notification from your 3.91 PA ROM. The changelog says no other root app needs to be installed, but that didn't work for me. I lost root on 3.92 if I didn't flash the SU 1.51 zip file. No biggie though, let me know if this should work and I did something wrong.
On another note, seems like /etc/init.d scripts are being run on boot, but anything that needs root isn't working. I'm trying to find a workaround, but nothing is working out so far. I've tried adding "su -c <some command>" but that still didn't work. Any ideas are appreciated.
Thank you, this is a great ROM!

Do you install any superuser type apps from the Playstore in support of root? I see an entry in Settings for "Superuser", but I never get prompted for root access and my root apps claim in not rooted. This is from a clean install (Factory Reset) and only installing the few apps that need root (not doing a restore).
Edit - If I was unlocked and rooted in 4.2.2, there's no need for me to root again once I've flashed PA 3.92? Flashing the latest PA is all I need?
