Why LG has removed from G3 many functions present on the G2?
I liked Vutalk, Slide Aside, Video Editor, Qtranslator, the live effects in video (i tried xcam but with lolliopop the app crashes).
Because LG realized that not a lot of people or fond of bloat. If you like these bloats, pull their apks out from a G2 ROM and install it on yours. /system/app and set 644.
What does set 644 mean?

It refers to the read/write permissions. You would take your favorite root file explorer and, under permissions, choose rw--r--r for the .apk you're installing.

I installed Khal's MIUI ROM successfully. But there is no Desk Clock on the Home Launcher pages. I used the "search" button on my phone and type "clock" so I can found it and use it.
But is there any method to make a icon on the Home Screen for quick use later. Please help me. Thank you.
Is there any solutions. If you don't know just let me know, or you guys look down on me.......
You can use MIUI clock widget and just click on it to launch the clock app. Alternatively you can use a different launcher.
You can try going into manage applications & clearing the cache and/or data on Launcher2
im pretty sure the clock app is in the tools folder on the home screen. my phones at motorola getting fixed so i cant look right now.
@CrystalShield no one looks down on anyone here. well at least they shouldnt. we have all had problems and it never hurts to ask. thats why we all come here, for community support
@easye420: I am sure that when I install the ROM of Khal of MIUI in this link. There is no app call "DeskClock" on home screen. I can list them here.
Page1: Gallery, Camera, music, Settings, Root Explorer (it's mine) , [Chinese something] and Theme manager.
Page2: Some Google Apps, facebook, memory, overclock, fast boot, twitter, and FM Radio.
page3: Wireless tether, Voice Search, News and weather and some of my apps (because everyone know our apps will stay at the end the these)
But I also use the "deckclock.apk" in /system/app to run the Clock. But i want it stay on my screen. I try use Shortcut, but when I click the shortcut, it "open App Manager" (like when we try to Run a APK file in ASTRO) and I also need to click on "launch" to run the app. It isn't what we want when we try to make a shortcut for an application, is it?
@3rdstring: I did, but it restore to original (still don't have it on Home).
Is there any solution for me.
By the way, Thanks all you guys very much. English is not my first language, if there is something impolite or immodest in my words. I'm sorry.................
And I am also newbie of this forum, so I don't have enough 10 posts to post and ask in the Development Box. That why I disturb you guys here. Sorry about that.
Reinstalling the app works. I just move the apk out from /system/app and install it as if it's another use app.
I have the same problem. Copying and installing doesn't work as the app has 0 bytes (!) and I always get the parsing error-obviously
If someone could upload the original with its proper size that'll be lovely.
Thanks.

I removed the DeskClock.apk from /system/app. But when I use the "search" button and type "clock". It's still there (and of course it still can be used). I have no idea about where the real app is.
It's really weird for me.(of course because I don't have enough knowledge)
This is what i do to get deskclock app to show on the screen.
1)Using root explorer copy the deskclock.apk from system/app to sdcard.
2)Using root explorer again delete deskclock.apk from system/app and in data/dalvik-cache look for [email protected]@[email protected] and delete it.
3)Restart ur phone.
4)install the deskclock.apk from sdcard and the app should appear on your screen.
Use launcher pro. Its faster, sexier and will show all your applications!
Hello I understand that with perma temp root we have somewhat limited access to the system files (after restart they will return to normal) However I was wondering is it possible to take my launcher pro and rename it, install it in the system directory- overwriting the default launcher- so that android now only uses launcher pro and it no longer launches as an App. If this is possible the same could be done for SMS app also? Thanks for clearing this up for me.
Short answer: possibly.
The problem is, some apps won't work when you push them to /system/app without a reboot, and of course any reboot will erase the apps and revert the directory back to its stock configuration. You'll have to try and see if it actually works.
However, why would you want to do this? As long as you disable the Sense launcher and MMS apps you don't want to use, running Launcher Pro and AOSP MMS from the /data/app directory or from the /system/app directory are basically identical as far as Android is concerned. You won't really get any benefit performance-wise.
Edit: BTW, you also won't want to erase the stock launcher from the /system/app directory (or replace it with the Launcher Pro apk), as it will likely cause the phone to repeatedly FC, causing you to reboot anyway. I've heard that freezing it will work, but you'll have to try it out to be sure.
Haha, you couldn't have answered my question better. If I don't see any performance increase I really have no use in doing this lol. I overlooked the fact that a disabled app doesn't even get loaded up. Thanks a lot.
I have been swapping out pngs in framework-res, systemui, system apps, and data apps rather successfully.
Typically, I adb pull the file, use 7zip to open the archive, replace the pngs, sign the apk (for non-system apps), adb push, and then adb shell reboot.
This works for most of the the apps that I'm altering. However, I have run across some apps, that when I use this method to replace the menu icons (actually, all I"m doing is colorizing them), it breaks the app. Some of the apps that I've been having trouble with are root explorer, xda premium, out of milk, and beautiful widgets. I have had no problems with any of my other apps and system files.
edit: I also make sure to set the permissions to be the same as the other apks in the folder, generally rw-r--r--. I have tried both overwriting the existing apk that I originally pulled, as well as uninstalling the apk and dropping the new on in the folder. Either way, it doesn't appear in my app drawer, and if I try to install it, it comes back adn says, "app not installed."
Anybody have a clue how to guide me?
I got xda and out of milk to work. But Beautiful Widgets and Root explorer still force close on me.
Also, the Webroot app is a .zip file in /data/app
It's called com.webroot.security.full-1.zip. I got one of my icon changes to work, but the menu icons don't change. Not sure what's up with webroot.
bump...nobody knows about this sorta thing?
It sounds like you are editing apps you paid for. Some paid apps run a check (md5?) that prevents them from working correctly. Example would be if you try to edit the apk for LauncherPro, you lose the ability to use LauncherPro Plus.
Also, if you screw up a .9 png file, that can throw your app in the crapper. You're simply pulling the png's, not decompiling and editing the xml files right?
Maybe this will shed some light on the issue, maybe not
Yeh, pretty much as I described, I'm pulling the apks, using 7zip to open them, but not extract. Then I already have colorized versions of the icons I want to change on my computer, so I just copy them into the archivel Then I sign the archive with apkmanager, and then push it back into /data/app/ and correct the permissions.
if anyone wants the cooliris gallery3d (which i prefer over the moto gallery and the miui gallery posted here), here's one that works. it even works with your picasa albums, you just have to open the motorola gallery and hit refresh, the albums will start appearing in gallery3d.
to install, you have to either adb push to system/app and set correct permissions
or
copy to sdcard, use rootexporer (or similar) to copy to system/app and set permissions (need root)
reboot
once cwm works for the a2, i'll create a flashable zip
i also have the stock music app as well that would work, but just use ubermusic and google music beta.
This works pretty well after it renders the thumb nail images. I'm still hooked on quickpic unfortunately. It reminds me of the Samsung captivates 3d gallery.
This is the stock 2.3 gallery, which is what Samsung uses

Whoa this is really nice. Thank you.
Why Moto doesn't include this stock is beyond me. Only one week till the Google acquisition vote...
I want to believe.
Have been trying to install this apk (System Ui) with no success! I have tried everything and since I am new to Android and rooting I don't know what to do ! I get this message: The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name.

you have to copy it to /system/framework and set 644 permissions
App permissions give you the ability to customize and control which capabilities you give apps. You can pick and choose which permissions to grant apps at the time of use.
Note Notes:
Downloaded apps designed for Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and up only ask for permission the first time you use a feature rather than asking for permissions out of context.
Turning off certain permissions may result in basic features no longer working as intended.
Turn Permissions On or Off for Installed Apps:
From a Home screen, navigate: Apps Apps icon > Settings > Applications.
Tap the appropriate app.
If available, tap Permissions.
Tap any of the available permissions (e.g., Camera, Contacts, Location, etc.) to turn on Switch On icon or off Switch Off icon.
Note If turning off a permission, from the "If you deny this permission..." prompt, tap Cancel or Deny.
