hey guys I am creating my own custom rom . I added some 3rd party apps in system/app folder of my rom like no frills but when I flashed my rom those apps were not installed.do I need to change permission or something ? or do I need to make change in the Meta inf folder ? Other things like theming rooting worked fine

permission changing can be needed
may be you also need to place the lib files of those app in the /data/data/package name/lib
maybe they are not isntallable
how do we change the permission ? or else how to find libs of those apps ?
Sent from my GT-S5670 using xda premium
change permission of the app with set_perm command in the updater-script
open the apk with any archive viewer go to lib folder, place them in their respective folder and you are done
sorry for the late reply
The Permission must be rw-r-r, isn't it?

Hi all,
Here is the freshly extracted .apk of photo editor from i9000's value pack system/app.
There was no .odex.
Its can be installed anyway (system/app or normal installation)
Its opening but force closes after selecting picture!
My rom is'nt deodexed. So someone please try it on a deodexed ROM.
THANKS!
force close on a deoxed rom ddkp3
I think it needs porting of some framework files also....try out to find which one....
I think it needs a correct lib file!
Can someone please post the correct lib file to run this?

Try on dxkp9, logcat show android runtime error.
Not able to load few java runtime cmd.
not working for me.
I got it to work. I tried to make an update.zip but I dont think it works. Its best if you just copy over the files manually to there respective directories.
How would you put this file where it goes any instructions ?
Ayway to get this app to work on galaxy s3?
Would really appreciate it if someone could help

If you unzip the rom package and go under system/apps/ there is an apk file in there called swagpapers.apk . I believe that is the wallpaper package. All you would need to do is copy that .apk file and then paste it in system/apps/ for any rom you want to use them in.

Correct me if i am wrong but also don't forget to set the permissions to - rw-r-r. Once copied under system/app

You shouldnt have to mess around with the permissions..
If placing it in the system/app folder, you will need to edit permissions...

Im assuming you mean if your transferring from SD card? I unzip the ROM, past the apk in the folder and rezip and sign the ROM... So i dont have to change any permissions.

You can't install system apps from Internal/External SD card. You would have to drag and drop it under system/apparently and set the permissions.

OK... Then im confused... Because when i drag and drop it and rezip and resign the ROM, thats all i have to do... I definitely do not change permissions and have no issues...
I believe the term for this is Beating a dead horse.

Setting permissions only applys to an installed ROM. Perhaps a person has trouble on the latest update with the browser apk of your ROM, he then would just rip out the browser apk from the previous release. And throw it in with the correct permissions (from previous), to see if it fixed any issues.

Hi,
I'm not an android developement expert but have a question about your advice.
If we delete only the app from /system/app folder (and nothing more. via root explorer), won't it cause trouble?
I would like to give an example for clearing this issue in my mind. In windows, if we just delete the exe file from the Program Files, it doesn't mean we uninstalled the program. It still lefts dll files etc. Is it like this in android?
I asked this because I wanna uninstall the apk's in my custom rom like Google Player or DSP Manager. The developer installed them inside the custom rom, so they look like system apps and as a result I can't uninstall them...
replace them via root explorer and check the permission for new file then restart your device and it will work

adroid system are module style, a apk consist of every thing needed to run the apps. but some app need extra lib file, if you can find the lib file used by a apk to run, than you can delete it form system/lib too.
Exactly what the post above said. Some system apps have .lib files (like windows dll) but i would leave them if i were you because your replacement apps might have dependancies on those lib files. Im not entirely sure.
Also, the libs are stored in system/lib

Apps specially for ICS won't work in gb roms. These 2 version of roms are quite different.
Pls don't simply mess up with the roms version.

Btw, if you back up your original rom's apk files, there is a chance to use them on your custom roms. It has a higher chance if your custom is based on your original rom.
For example, I backed up samsung's music player and photo editor apk on original DDLF2 and installed them on my custom Frankestain rom. Now I'm using them with no problems. I must mention, the original fm radio apk didn't work on custom rom, as it needen some special libraries/frameworks.
this is the awsome note2 gallery.

I have checked it ..its all there ... dont know why its not working in yours .. is your rom deodexed ? which rom are u using ?
Steps
1.download secMms.apk
2.Rename system/app/secMms.apk to like secMms.apkold(backup)
2.1 Also rename system/app/secMms.odex to like secMms.odexold (only for stock roms/odexed )
4. Place secMms.apk to system/app (check permissions for executable )
3.reboot phone and enjoy
This is the screen shot of the sdmaid search result. First is im backup in memory card and there is an apkold file as u adkede to rename. As u can see there are seven secMms.apk files in system privapp folders too.
Attached file here as couldn attach it in the pm. Sorry
