Cant change lockscreen after uninstalling stock gallery?

I couldn't stand the stock gallery so i uninstalled it and now i can't change my lock screen? So i went to titanium backup to restore it and it can't because it has a check mark next to wich means it just backedup the data not the app so i long pressed it and selected search market and downloaded/installed it and its the same version and it even let me restore the data for it but i still cant change the lockscreen it just force closes when i got to settings/display/wallpaper/lockscreen/gallery. I also noticed its now a user app before it was a system app i think, would that matter? Any ideas let me know, thanks.

You have to copy the app into system/app then install...that worked for me for another apk I needed installed into system

Where does the market install the apps i cant find it? And do i just copy the apk and paste to system/apps?

Ok i tried putting the gallery. Apk file i got from google in the system/app folder then installing it but it just installs it to /data/app. I also tried copying the installed file in /data/app to system/app but it still force closes when i try to set a lockscreen wallpaper. Is there a way to install a user app as a system app? Maybe if i cant get this to work ill just re-odin i guess.

Try to push the. Apk you got into system/app folder the reboot don't install it.
If that doesn't work after reboot, then install it

Well it worked as far as just pushing the apk into system/app and now its installed as system app but it still force closes so im just going to reflash. Thanks for the help though.

it works perfectly!
thx for dat!

yea yea its just easier to extract it then install like any other app!!!!!!!!!!

You don't need to uninstall the orginal Market, just run the apk and it will apply updates
I'm using the new market with an APK I got from Android Police.

I really like your theme, where can I get it?

What theme would that be?

Rename it to Vending.apk, and use adb to push it to /system/app/

Touchwiz 4 apk

Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

4 or 4.5? just pull it from icbinb rom.zip. system/app folder.

Either I just want to update touchwiz 3. Would you be able to post a download link for it because I'm still fairly new to this and don't really know how to pull it from the zip

Open it on your computer and drag and drop

I tried to pull it for some reason my computer wouldn't let me transfer it to my phone. What should I do
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

Make sure you are connected to the computer properly and that the phone is in mass storage mode. Then drag and drop to your sd card. From there, use root explorer to move the apk to your system/app folder. Reboot and it should work

That's what I did and for some reason my computer wouldn't let me transfer it over. I've transferred so many other files that way with no problem I just don't understand why it wont let me transfer this file

Need help with my app

Ok, i have modified my flies.apk using winrar and when i pasted in system/app it was not fine.There were two my files . It should have asked to overwrite...
Then i deleted the old one and copied the new one. Then i rebooted it
Nothing was there. My new modified my files was not there. It was in system/app but not shown in app drawer(it was not hidden). I restored my old one (Thanks to titanium backup) but now it is not shown in system/app.
Well i want to know is there a problem in modified apk?
I have also signed it
I have used this method
Opened my files with winrar
Changed things
Closed winrar
Signed it
Is this correct?

I didn't mean mounting /system R/W
I mean your modded apk file permission, use an app like Xplore or Root Explorer to give it 644 permission in order to see it in the app drawer.
Or just install it as user app and use Titanium Backup to convert it to system app.

But how do i do with titanium backup as its not installed
In titanium backup old my files is shown not new one
