yeah you need to install it to system/app...use root explorer app.
once you open the root explorer app, scroll down to sdcard and find the file tht u downloaded. long press and it'll let u copy it...once copied go back and click on system and then app... Remember u need to mount it as R/W (there's an icon on top). Paste it and long press and click on permissions. check all the boxes except any of the "special permissions". Hit okay and reboot.

I downloaded the original fancy widget app a while back, the one that looks like htc's that was banned. It is still loaded on my phone as an app, but I cannot find the apk that I downloaded. Usually they're in my download folder but I may have deleted it by mistake. I wanna send the apk to my brother.. anyone know where I find it to do this? Or do I need the original file? Thanks.

If you are rooted use a app like root explorer and go to your root and navigate to /data/app and long press and hit send you can also long press copy then navigate to your download folder and paste it then send it from there

I'm assuming from your title that you did indeed change it from R/O to R/w, correct? If so, then why don't you just try installing the app? Is it a must that the app be located in the system/app folder? Try putting it in the data/app folder. Can u paste the file in but it doesn't show up in your app drawer? 9/10 it's because the permissions for the file are incorrect. Try that and let me know.
Do u have BusyBox installed? Because u need to to write to the system folder
Also make sure it says 'mounted as r/w' if not press the button that says 'MOUNT R/W'

You have to update your root explorer if you have no option to set read write. You don't have to do it before you go into system. You can do it while there right at the top right. I forget to hit it all the time when editing my build prop.

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.
Thanks Guys

Hello. Firts off I have a two part question. I have a sensation 4g hboot 1.27.xxx running bruce2728 cm10 rom, s-off, 4ext recovery touch, fw3.33. I have never had any major problems with this rom. The latest update to 10/25 I lost the sound recorder app. I downloaded the apk and installed it and it shows up in the system/app folder but not in the app drawer. I have tried to install the app from es file manager as well as placing the .apk in the system/app file and rebooting with same results. My first question is in regaurd to this, how do I install this app as a system app? I have done this before with superSU but it isn't working this time. My second question is how do you know what permissions to set for an .apk? I know how to fix permissions via recovery and also how to change them with root explorer but not, how to figure out what they are supposed to be. An explanation in layman's terms please would be appreciated.

*disregard my comment. I observe i have the apk in system folder too but not appearing in the drawer. Apologize for the misunderstanding*
It will show up once you set the right permission... to know what permission to set, just check other apps permission in the same folder. I usually use root explorer, long touh the apk and select permission.
Cant upload pic. Link shows how the permission should look like.

I have checked the permissions and they were the same as all the .apks in the file and it still doesn't show up in the app drawer. I even tried to fix permissions thru recovery and after reboot, still nothing.
The permissions for everything in the file are rw-r--r--.

I cant figure out why it doesnt show on mine either. I think it is link with another app where you can record from there, the note app for example (found an info that its related to the voice command but not sure).
I did found this on GPlay. Not sure if it will work but it seems to have a good review

Edit: I tried it and it works
Thanks i'll give it a try. It worked but now I have upgraded to 10/27 and its in there.
