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.

[Q] How to install an apk into system/app?

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

The uninstalling is a known CM 10.1 bug. To prevent this, simply don't move apps to SD. And suppose it happens that a reboot removes these apps, go to data/app and remove any .odex files OF THAT PARTICULAR APP you find there. The app should install normally again. The odex file will have almost the same name of the apk of the app uninstalled, like com.imangi.templerun........
Another simple workaround is to simply rename the apk of the app you want to install to any name without spaces and keep it in your sd card. When you reboot and the app disappears, don't install it like a normal app, just use root explorer to copy the apk to data/app. The no space error will not show. Try it

Its a bug. no one knows why it happens. No one knows a solution. Put the apps on phone memory. Thats the only solution.

Just move everything to phone memory. In case it gets uninstalled after a reboot and you can't install it again, just copy the apk to data/app to get it installed. It's a bug, until it can be solved, use this workaround.

I'm not sure what's causing this. Try using another file explorer, the jrummy one is good.

[Q] Quickpic as default gallery.

I just hate the default GB & CM7 gallery app as they take a lot of time to show up my pictures ( there are about 600 pictures on my sd ). That's why I decided to replace the default GB gallery app by quickpic. I renamed it to gallery3D, moved it to \system\app by replacing the original gallery & set permissions & rebooted. But quickpic on opening suddenly closes all by itself. Tried a fix permissions via recovery with no success. My question is, how do I get quickpic working ( as a system app & as an alternative to the original gallery ) ? What's causing it to close all by itself ? Is there any odex file of the gallery that causes this ?

you have forgoten the lib fils
open the quickpic.apk withe winrar go to lib----->armeabi---->copie all file to system/lib of your rom its all your apps is completly integrated in your rom

Instal quickpic apk separately and then from titanium backup convert it into system app n then delete the previous gallery app. pls hit thnx if helpd.

Some apps like camera and quickpic use lib files to function. The lib files have a set of instructions that are common to the corresponding app. So having a lib file makes it easy so you dont have to re write them again and again.

The other method works & is easy. Move app to system/app & set permissions. Then copy the lib file to system/lib & set permissions. Reboot & done !

Sure! I think is the best gallery app

Why does it have to be a system app? Just install Quickpic and use TB to uninstall default gallery. That's it. Even if you don't uninstall default gallery, the OS will ask you which app to use by default.

Samsung gallery app problem. How to make Quick Pic app as the default instead
Dear All, Samsung users.
I have been having serious problems with Samsung S4 gallery App. The App just does not work anymore, as it keeps on freezing etc. I have resetted my phone several times and did it hard reset and the same problem occurs.
After several hours of research, I was told to use Quckpic app, which as a standalone is brilliant, but can anyone please give me a step-by step guide to make QuickPic as the default app to work with my S4 camera app, and also how do you delete the standard gallery App from the S4.
Kind regards
J
