Im coming from a Samsung Vibrant which was my first android phone and I loved it. Now this Nexus S has found my heart but for some reason whenever I try to push an app such as the touchwiz launcher to system/app it moves the app to that folder but for some reason it doesnt install even after reboot. I tried to even reset defaults in the launcher but that was a no go. What am I doing wrong? I am running NSCollab.
try
adb install <path_to_apk>
if its on the same folder as your adb then just type the .apk
that will only install it to SD card, not SYSTEM partition
to install to SYSTEM you will need to include the APK to the ROM to be flashed

Cant you just manually place it there with some like root explorer and manually install it?
I'm just getting to add an apk to an existing rom, I'll try adb install a lil later. But to me its odd since on the vibrant all I had to do was push to system partition and restart

yes...place it in the "system/app" folder
you will see all the other apk native to your ROM in that same folder
you may have to fix permissions (r,w/r/r)

I have fixed permissions and everything but still its a no go. I dont get it, when I try to install in that directory it doesnt install. I figure this is a nexus S thing? Can anyone confirm this working?
I am running CM7 btw and after flashing my vibrant with it I am no longer able to push to system/app in order to install apk. Is this a problem or feature of CM7?
Reboot after changing permission. Btw, what app are you pushing?

I tried pushing a modded version of the touchwiz launcher from the vibrant, theres a thread here somewhere in which someone was able to push without problems.
Edit: I tried rebooting but still not working. I also tried pushing a video player which others have successfully pushed and was unable to get that working either.
Hey all.
I was messing around today and decided to post this. If not for the current lack of development, I probably wouldn't even post this.
Just push twframework-res.apk with adb, root explorer or root manager. be sure you overwrite the existing .apk.
The screenshot posted below was taken on the fly. you'll notice I'm using TEAM AERODKNG's Notification bar... Frankly, their theme is radness, but I thought maybe someone would want a little change!
word up, folks. happy MoDding.

Quick question, is this twframework-res supposed to replace framework-res? If not i screwed up. I havent had to restore from CWM, anyway I can get my backup restored? I copied the original to SD.

LOL Corradokng hooked it up with a flashable framework-res.apk. Im back and will try this again. Im a goof ball and didnt check but since im back up i went into system/framework and see the following files, twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk. I mistakenly changed the name and pasted, which softbricked.
I slapped myself in the head and tested again. Worked like a charm! I like the look, way better than before.
NOTE: Copy file to System/Framework folder
i wanna test it out. could just explain to me what you mean by push? where or oveer what do i put the .apk? thanks

go into framework folder and copy twframework-res.apk to a safe place on your sd card, in case you want to revert. With the file in the OP paste it into that directory, making sure you have w/r in root explorer or whatever you use.

try supermanager, root explorer for some reason hasnt been playing to nicely with system files and binary files.
if your follwing the process verbatim and nothing is happening try super manager or another file manager with root permissions. It should work without a hitch

Are you saying you have successfully done a full restore of a full nandroid backup?? If so that would be a big deal since I think that was the last issue with the cwm beta. Drhonk was saying he got a full restore to work at least without error but it hung on reboot.

@Ricky download file to your computer hook your phone up to the computer mount phone to computer (USB mass storage) right click file go down to send to and send it to the proper mass storage for your phone I have vista so that's how it works for me that should put the file on the root of your SD card open root explorer first go into system/framework go down to the twres apk long press it and select copy you will see paste at the bottom of your screen hit the back button twice go down to SD and put the copy in any sub folder you may want I use downloads then go down to the new file on your SD card from robbitt long press it hit move go back to system/framework in the upper right hand corner you will see a r/w press that then hit paste it will say it already exists do u want overwrite click yes back out then reboot should work with no problem.I think what u did was move the orig twres file instead of copying it hope this helps you.And thanks to robbitt love this mod sometimes its just the little things

If they are not system app, you can download 'appinstaller" by FunTrigger and browse to the apk and install. If system app, you can use "root explore" or "ES File Explorer" from the Market and drop the apk in /Sytem/app/
Good luck.
You should just be able to click on them with Root Explorer to install them. If installation fails, just push them to /system/app with Root Explorer.

You have to mount /system/app as read/write. If you're using Root Explorer, tap the "Mount R/W" button at the top of the /system/app directory. If you're using another file explorer, you should be able to find an option to do it, but I don't know any of the other ones personally.

On pc open up file with winzip or winrar and go into lib and armeabi and copy the .so file onto sdcard. Using root explorer copy .so file into system/lib fix permissions and restart phone and all should be ok. I have heard of people having to find their voice talk and voice command files and delete them because they were conflicting with s-voice.
Installed just fine for me from apk. Works pretty good. But once you say a command it stops it doesn't continue listening.

Installs fine, opens fine, scribes the command you say fine.. But the moment you try and touch any button or click the command you entered it just crashes. And i set permissions...

first thing i did was rename vlingo.apk to .old, and voicetalk.apk to .old. tried copying in the new voicetalk.apk, no luck off the bat, got in, got through the setup screen but force closes after that. Just tried moving the .so file in and wiping the cache's and fixing permissions. still getting a force close. suggestions?
edit: clearing app cache seems to have fixed it, even tried that woodchuck thing. impressive.
edit 2: iphones recognition seems to be about as accurate for what I tried, however it did come up with the answers far quicker.

Same issues getting it to work without FC'ing - same suggestions above apply? Going to mess with it but don't have a lot of free time today and tomorrow
So after a bit of playing around i figured out that if you push it to the system/app folder and fix the permissions, then go back in the system/app folder and install the apk like a normal app, its been working fine. Had one FC since, but working 100% better then before. Goodluck!

fastest way
1) put on SD card
2) use root explorer (or whatever app you use, copy file to system/app
3) set permission (RW- R-- R--)
4) reboot
5) look in app drawer and open. works fine hasn't force closed yet.
If you tried another way and it failed you must delete the one out of your system/app, reboot and then follow the steps exactly.
yes you must be on ICS
Im using Alien ICS ★ Build #8 ★ it works great
thanx romracer
I didn't make this but just wanted to share since it works on our device...
simply unzip the file, use root explorer to copy the lib file and the app, set app permissions correctly, install, then reboot!
my god it is smooth :O

that is why you have to set permissions correctly.

Make sure the top row of permissions all have check marks.(leave the others that are already checked off checked, I sometimes jusst check off all 9 permissions boxes if unsure)
Reboot your phone, and voila widgets will be working

It's funny everyone is hating on it in the CM9 thread. Personally I find it very smooth and much different from the old touchwiz.
I have my icons themed with a CM9 theme too and I like how it keeps the theming.
I have an awesome red ics theme.

That's because you don't flash in cwm. Follow the exact instructions in post above and it will work but you have to follow them step by step no shortcuts you must do it exactly like it says.

These are the steps you have to do if you want this work. Even though it is a zip file you do not flash it in cwm. Its not gonna work that way. You have to extract the files so you can get the apk file and others needed to do the steps above. You will also need a file explorer that allows you to get to the system files. I used es file explorer its free on the market. Follow the steps above and this will work..
