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?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

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.

I followed Erik_T's camera hack - copying the camera apk from Zeus and changing permissions. The camera still force closes every time. I have even gone back to stock, reflashed but the result is the same.

I tried this rom and really liked it but I had no help or support when it came to the fact that everytime I would turn the phone off or restart it, all Apps and home replacement (GO Launcher EX) were all GONE... no one gave me a solution at all

Your default storage location may need changed.Well there is no option in the phone to do this but if you are rooted and go onto the market and download "terminal emulator", its free you can easily change it.
Here are the Steps:
make sure usb debugging is checked
open terminal emulator and type "su" (press enter)
now type "pm getInstallLocation" (press enter)
it should say something like [auto]
this means the system decides which is best
to change it to internal just type the following command:
pm setInstallLocation 1 (press enter)
now its set to internal,
you change it anytime by using the "pm setInstallLocation" followed by a space and choosing any of the numbers
0 - auto (default)
1 - internal
2 - external

Any idea how I'd go about getting the lock screen that's in the screen shots from op? I'd like to have the one to slide to the right for unlock, and slide to the left to mute. I've installed the ROM and so far so good so that's the only thing on my wishlist.
Also, just curious what kernel to use with this (if other than the default) for best battery life.

You need to push the apk to /system/app and set the permissions to rw-r--r--

To the other guy
"What is VM?"
VM is the ability to listen to messages approximately 10-15 seconds faster than using traditional VM. This results is savings me about 2-5 minutes per month which makes it worth while to pay the $2.99 fee for the Verizon service
EDIT:
From the looks of the file, it appears to be an APK. Any reason why you renamed it as a zip? -Also the APK failed to install. Any idea why? I tried zipaligning again just in case, but it wouldn't zipalign.

hmmm
not sure why that happened
rename it to .apk
then
Use a file explorer with root access and drop it in /system/app/, set perms to rw-r--r-- and reboot

You shouldn't try to 'install it'
by copying it to system/app and changing permissions it IS installed

I tried this but still can't see the app under apps. I'm running SlimBean 2.5 on a Verizon Galaxy S3. I used Root Explorer. I can see the app in system/app (I can even navigate inside it)....I set the permissions as described.
Any other ideas how to make it show up?
Thanks.

Please help getting server error in Google Play

Please help getting server error in Google Play . I just installed the rom Codename and I love it ..except when I go to the Google Play store I keep getting server error and cannot download anything. I've been online and looked for solutions and tried reinstalling rom, cleared cache in Google play, updated it ...any suggestions are appreciated as I cannot download anything in the store.
Thanks!!
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium

Possible Fix
I have had issues with this in the past when moving to different roms as well.
I would suggest
Goto > Manage Apps
Find Google Play store > clear data / cache
Find Google Framework Services > clear data
Reboot
Goto >System Settings>Accounts
Make sure your phone is setup to your google account.
Open Google Play > Select your gmail account
You will have to reset up some of your settings for Google related products (gmail, maps, chrome, etc...)
I may have been overzealous in all my steps, but it works for me...
This is also fixed my issue with the Play Store on the web not being able to install to my phone or vice versa.
It basically re-registers your phone with the Play Store....
Good luck!

Thank you so much for your steps. I went to apps and cleared cache on the Google play but the Google services framework wasn't in there so I went and installed root explorer from the internet and went to system then apps then Google services framework and it wasn't installed and when I attempted to install it it said parsing error . Then I tried to download it from internet and no luck so..oops I deleted it....I now just went into twrp and flashed gapps. I do not know if that will fix it but any more assistance is appreciated and I will let you know what happens after I reboot.
Thank you

You need to be on the ALL APPS tab not the downloaded apps tab.

Try going to your terminal app and typing

killall drmserver
and rebooting.
If that does not do it, I think you should do a factory wipe, format cache/system and reflash your Rom and GAPPS....

It will be in /system/app named something like LatinIme.apk or LatinImeGoogle.apk. Make extra sure you make a backup of it first just in case. Then, I don't think you can install it like a normal app so you'll probably have to place the new one in that directory, set permissions to rw-r--r-- change owner to 0-root and group to 0-root then reboot. Try that, and let me know now it goes. :thumbup:

Yeah I copied and backed up the latin Apk and pasted the Motorola keyboard and changed.the permissions but when I try to change the ownership the root browser force closes. Btw I mean the stock Motorola keyboard not the stock android keyboard
Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app

Should be the same whether Motorola or android since it's a system app. Which root browser are you using? I've always used Root Explorer, but I've read other posts by people using ES Explorer as well.

I don't see it either. Weird because I have seen several people on here using it for this type of thing. Sorry, but I'm at a loss. I know Root Explorer works, but I don't know about buying it for just one thing. Maybe an ES Explorer user can chime in and help because now I'm curious.

I might just purchase it and try to return it later. I got the keyboard to show up but it fcs each time I try to use it. I guess I need to set up ownership still.
Edit
I guess ill just wait for the devs to update root browser lite for a fix for the ownership. Thanks though
