first delete market..
and copy paste playstore apk in system/app
long press on playstore and set permissons to rw-r--r-- and then reboot.
it is very easy to replace the apps.. first u make sure that which app u want to remove.. and copy the the app u want in sd somewhere u like
install a root explorer.. navigate to
system/apps via root explorer
delete the app u want to remove.. then navigate to the app u want i.e which u have pasted in the sd earlier then copy it.. then go to system/apps and paste it there.. long press on the app u have pasted then a window will appear.. then press permission in the window.. give permission as

Why this is not working for mx player, real player, multipicture live wallpaper, titanium backup etc. Etc....
Is there any other process for this
Coz this method generates dex files but there is nothing in app drawer neither apps are in system apps list

Hi every one,
Today is my first day with xda premium app and am happy to tel u guys that I found out a easy way to edit .apk files right from ur rooted android mobile without the help of PC or development knowledge.. am a newbie not a dev!
So here is wat u need to begin
1) The apk file which u need to edit
2) Root explorer or any root file browser
3) Zipsigner 2 or any signing tool
4) patience to scroll between folders
So lets begin;
Open the root explorer and long click the apk file in /sdcard
Extract all the contents and go to extracted folder; in most of the case u get 5 files
Among them Delete Meta - inf folder and in res folder u can edit wat u want
Make sure not to delete anything except Meta Inf folder
Replace the png which u need
Remember while replacing a png the name should be exact as the parent file
After playing wit files go back and multiselect the remaining 4 files and zip them wit any name
After zipping rename the .zip file into .apk file using the same root explorer
Now go to zipsigner app and sign the modified apk file with platform key
Uninstall the app which u want to replace and install the modified apk and here u go u have ur customized app in ur menu LOLZ.. reply if u have any problems and pls pls don't forget to hit thanks button..
Hit thanks button if I had helped u..

Renaming to zip needs a file manager asusual I have mentioned root explorer.. and next u have to unzip it.. doesn't reduce steps if u name it to zip..

NinjaMorph. Done.
I'm gonna try this mate, hopefully as easy as mention

Use this xplore "x-plore "
This is give
Open apk as zip
Option ..
The same option is in root explorer as "extract the contents" and dealing with ninjamorph didn't help me and some times after applying theme using ninja and reboot whoa I was stuck at boot loop.. so this process is safe than any other

very useful method.
Hi everyone,
I'm sort of like new here, I had a problem entering download mode after flashing xbsall's ics ported rom, that's solved now due to some users posting threads with the same problem. Thank you
I noticed that no one is talking about the 3D Converter not working properly, I tried Angry Birds 1 (Space didnt have 3d functionalities under GB and Star Wars appears to be going the same way, I think Rovio is planning on realeasing another trilogy on the 3DS and that is why they took away 3D functionalities for smartphones).
Anyway, Angry birds 1 3D functionalities were not working properly under the 3D converter so I decided to delete the application through root uninstaller in order to be able to install the GB HRZ.apk version. While I was trying to do that, before being able to touch the uninstall feature, I noticed the root uninstaller did something and it deleted the application but in a wrong way. I was not able to install the HRZ.apk posted inside an xda thread because the system was telling me that it was going to replace a system application, bla bla bla and after going for its installation, it gave me the message that the application was not installed.
Through root explorer I deleted every single com.lge.lge3dconverter / hrz file and folder I could find, I cleaned the dalvic cache feature through the ram booster program and after all that, the system was still telling me the same thing as before when I tried to install the HRZ.apk GB app.
What can I do in order to be able to have a perfectly functional 3D Converter application for my games like I had it when I was using the GB rom? :crying:
Thank you in advance...
U cant install (Most of the time) an system app just by clicking on the . apk like a normal app. you have to use a root explorer an copy your app to the folder /system/app and then set permission to it like the other apps in that folder. then you have to reboot

Could you give me a link or instructions on how to use the adb program in order to be able to install the HRZ.apk file?
I keep reading and reading about the abd installation over the internet but nothing concrete...

Thank you, I did what you said, I put the HRZ.apk GB app inside the /system/app and rebooted the phone, nothing happened, I do not *know what launcher are you talking about...sorry for that.
I did something else too, I put the HRZ.apk inside the /system/apps/boot (or bootloader cant remember) folder and managed to see it inside the Application manager app listed as needing an update (maybe its still detecting the ICS 3d converter app badly uninstalled as installed). I tried to update the app and it gave me an error.
Do you or anyone have or has the xbsall's ics 3d converter apk ? If so, can you put that apk version available here as a download, please?
I know it was the one that was giving me problems but if the system is not letting me install the GB 3.0 version, I need the one that came with the rom in order to see if there is another way to fix the problem...
Thank you and thank you guys for your help...
I put KK launcher in my ROM.But,when i installed the ROM..A message apperared KK Launcher has crashed.Because it was not a system app,I dont really know that the reason for this crash is due to its lack of system permissions.
please help,i want to create a ROM.
Your Device Should Be Rooted!!
Go to Root Explorer and copy the apk file of launcher in system/app/
Or use link2sd.....

If u found the system/app method diddicult or cant do that way just install link2sd and the app then open link2sd then in option of the app convert it into system app ..............
Is your ROM deodexed? In particular, is your APK deodexed?
If so, decompile the APK. Search for a lib folder.
If there is, rejoice. If there isn't I can't help any further apart from finding a different launcher.
Okay, assuming your APK is deodexed(which it probably is) and has a lib folder, open the lib folder. Open the armeabi folder within. Copy all the libs inside to your ROM's /system/lib. Zip all, flash.
Do post the result. If any anomalies pop up, do post here as well.
Use link2sd . In the option there is one that is convert into system app. U can easily make anyapp into system app

once u copy the app to system/app u must change the permissions so its the same as the other apps then reboot.

cant, phone isnt rooted.
when u look in system/app ul see rwxrwx- or something like that below the app. i use root explorer so its prob the same with other file explorers. so.. press and hold on one of the system apps and a list will come up, select permissions and see what its set to then just set ur new systemUI app the same as the others. normally its
rw-r--r--
