[Q] How to install an apk into system/app? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using rooted JVU firmware and would like to install ICS keyboard to my system/app.
I used Root Explorer to copy the apk file into the directory and did a reboot, and the keyboard appeared on my locale and text menu.
However, when I try to select the keyboard, it always return a force close.
Can anybody teach me on how to solve this issue?

There is a thread called "How to: Push apps(.apk)" - you will have to try to use the search function for that name cause I don't think I can post a link yet

I did the search and tried the way as taught, end up having the force close issue.
Is it that not all apk can be installed onto system/app?

You can also try an app called "system cleanup". I'm not sure if it's on the market but there is a thread where you can dl it or you could use titanium pro

Ics keyboard is made to work on android 4.0.x framework ported from Nexus S, ok?
As you revealed in OP you are using Sammy JVU 2.3.6 TouchWiz infected framework.
Why not try to rip out HTC keyboard and push that too while you're in the mood?

When you push an ask to system/app am I write in saying it does not deleted in factory reset..??
What about pushing to system system/media..??

When pushing an apk to system folder,u need root and there is 2 easy ways,either use a root explorer and just push it to the system/app folder or use titanium backup to revert to system app.factory reset(full wipe) doesn't wipe system apk,but everthing else is wiped..
U can also push apk to system via ADB.but a little bit of knowledge is needed

Where can i get these apps I know the apex 8.1 rom uses them but im trying another rom and id like to have these two apps. I backed them up with titanium but i guess its not working because it wont let me restore them.
It is probably a system app. What you can do is open up the zip file for the old rom, find the app you want, and drop it in system/app using root explorer.

I think it doesn't work like that, I've previously erased my camera app from the stock froyo ROM, then I tried to install it again and wont install, even the backup didnt work.

well....u cannot use the LGHome as a standalone. it has dependencies.
as of the camera problem, it is strange!!!...btw, hope u placed it in /system/app and changed the permission 2 644, then rebooted. also, u should have both the .apk and the .odex file replaced with 644 permission. it SHOULD have worked.

This works if you *do not* uninstall the old camera first. If you remove it via Titanium Backup (like he most likely did), it won't work. Putting the file back in place won't help at all, and you need to reflash the rom to get the camera back. Simply replacing the file is a different matter, and this would in fact work.
No to reinstall the camara to just copy it back to sys/app folder mount and install using root explorer.
As for the lghome if you could just post it anyway id appreciate it.

Uninstall both apps from your device and just push them to system/app without installing them. Then reboot your phone.
My explorer gives me an error that it doesn't allow me to move them to system/app, any idea?

I can't get this to work..I push both apks to system/app, wipe dalvik cache and reboot my phone..but once it's on I can't find the apps anywhere... If I check the folder with root explorer both apks are indeed in there..they just don't show up
The only way I got it to work was by installing both apps.. which was not a good idea as stated here
P.S.: I'm on Owain's 74 ROM

Maybe you have to fix the permissions of both apps via root explorer.
There has to be: rw-r--r--
hmmm..and how do I do that exactly?
Long press on the app -> permissions
You have to stick read read (-) in the first row
write (-) (-) in the second row
and nothing in the third
Than there has to be rw-r--r-- on the right corner of the app

You only get fc if you install the apps instead of pushing them to to system/app
Use the install guide on my first post and everything should work
But the widget only works with the new LG 3.0 launcher

1) make sure u r on safe kernel
2) full wipe/factory reset
3) wipe cache/dalvik
4) format /system /data /preload (may not be necessary, but nothing wrong in doing)
5) flash ICS rom & then safe kernel..
Can u give a link for a safe kernel nd a ics rom.......also can u give an apk for s note and polaris office
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
If you on Jelly Bean Rocket Rom you should have philz kernel which is safe.
Dont you have the Rocket Rom downloaded?
extract the following APKs and push it into
QuickSnote_Q1.apk > data/app
Snote_Q1.apk >data/app
Snote_Q1_Provider.apk > system/app
SMemo_Q1.apk > system/app
SmemoProvider_Q1.apk >system/app

set all permissions to rw-r--r--
Or flash the RR again from recovery without wipes

right click on the file you added, select permissions. and the permission should be 644. root explorer is an app. to know what is 644, just check the permissions of another file in that folder. reboot and check again

[Q] How can I install that system app with its odex file?

I have stock gingerbread keyboard apk and there is also its odex file . I cant install it even copied system app both.
I also did their permissions but it doesnt work.
I tried to flash them.
when I install apk normally it says application is not installed.
I really want to install it and tried common ways.
Thanks for help.

you need to put the .apk in system/app mounting system (using root explorer e.g.) and setting the correct permissions in both apps and then reboot your device
sorry but it did not work
anybody?
Try deodexing the whole rom from which the keyboard came from and then copy the apk
