If you like this post pls hit the rhanks button.
FOR SYSTEM APPS, IN STEP 3 NAVIGATES TO system >> app.
NOTE:YOU NEED ROOT ACCESS FOR INSTALLING ROOT EXPLORER.
DO NOT DELETE THE APKs FROM THE ABOVE MENTIONED LOCATION.
If you don't have root access just download app backup from the play store.
Awesome post......keep it up
Otherwise, if you don't have root access, you can download the app "Super Backup" from Google Play, where it can backup any app on phone without root access. Even if you have root access, it will be much easier and faster to backup it from the app instead of going though the hassle to backup some apps.

I've flashed a cm rom on my phone and I was just wondering how I move my files to the recovery menu now as I don't have a 'my files' app on my phone??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
In every ROM there is (or there should be) a file explorer, but if you want to move file from sd to system you must have root permissions and a specific app that can do it (as Root Explorer from google plays).
Download any file manager from Google Play. If you want to access the root features of it you should download root file explorer.
You need to be rooted and I recommend use root explorer
The Automatic Way - Just Download titanium Backup or similar app Select the app and just hit covert to System app and reboot and if it force closes even on reboot go down the thread!!
Manual Way
1) Select the Apk Which you Want
2) Take the apk from SD card and copy the apk to /Root/System or any where in the Root
3 )Click yes When it Ask you Whether You Want to
Code:
The Current Files System is Read-only. Do You Want to remount as read-write and continue the Operation?
4) Select the file and change the permissions of the apk under select permissions
4) Tick all the boxes under read and only the first one under write and click OK
5) It should look like rw-r--r--
6) Then cut the Apk and pate it to /Root/System/app
And reboot and enjoy
The the app force closes (For Example - Swift Key ) go here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661238

You may also need to move files from /data/data. For example moving Swiftkey needs moving files from /system/lib and /data/data

I simply used twrp to copy some apps into /system/app
Hi, while millions of people wanted to change normal apps into system apps. I want to change system apps into normal apps.
I know this is the weirdest request you never found on xda history. But I need to remove system privilege on Google Photos because it blocks me from controlling background power consumption (only user app can be changed like that). I'm on realme UI 2.0 unrooted, if it has to be root I'd still take your advice. Thanks.
Tired of getting insufficient storage message when installing apps?
I found a fix for root users.
1.Download a root browser.
2.Download your apk. NOT FROM PLAY STORE.
2.Copy apk to system/app.
3.Restart Phone.
4.Open root browser and go to system/app
5.Install app
If you don't want the app to be a system app (sometimes it changes into a user app itself after a while.)
1.Install Link2SD.
2.Find the App you installed.
3. Click on the app.
4. Click on actions
5. Click on convert to user app.
Tell me if it doesn't work. Thanks.

solved with SD maid pro version (2, 44 € on play store).
This guide is for helping people that want to install Google play store at fuhu Nabi Jr Edition SNBJR-MT5C-US that have some expert skills. It is not an automated procedure yet.
This edition is equipped with an MTK processor and is not recognized by Nabilab tools so this procedure has to be entirely manual executed.
Root your device
Root device using Kingo Root
Enter Daddy mode
Boot rooted device and enter Daddy mode
Install Es File Explorer
Allow unknown sources to be installed
Install File Explorer from direct downloading apk
Make system rw
Enter Root Explorer option in Es File Explorer and select to mount system as rw
Download zip
Download zip from link below and extract contents using Es File Explorer
Link = https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24665509702140403
copy files to system folder
Copy files within each folder of extracted zip to own folder Inside system folder
copy files to data folder
Copy files within each folder of extracted zip to own folder Inside data folder
reboot
Reboot device and cross finger.
Do these procedures at your own risk
So after following this procedure, is the play store supposed to just show up in the list of apps? No installation or anything?
Works!
Thank you very much. I have the SNBJR-MT5C 8GB version, which I brought from Aliexpress.
A number of things dont work as I am not located in the USA so could not enter billing information, so many of the built in apps dont work at all.
Device Rooted.
Installed the files, and Google Play works! It asked me to create/use a google account, all looking good so far!!
Thank you!
Only thing left is to figure out how to remove/hide some of the built in apps in Nabi mode which are not appropraite for my kid, or are too advanced etc, or dont work due to billing issue.

Well, to do this uninstall you may use some apps available on playstore like 'es file manager' or 'titanium backup'; the ones I use most for this task.
The problem is that I do not have much luck on restoring deleted apps afterwards on this device.
You should try to disable the app on Android Apps settings before attempt to delete them.

Bit of help
Hi,
I just picked up two of the 8 gig models for my boys. I want to get the google app store going on both so i can get the nick jr app on there. I would love to flash the nabi jr nickelodeon edition on here if possible, not sure if it is. I'd like to follow this guide. Any problems if i follow this guide and then do a system update via nabi update, or should i disable that?
I'd be willing to provide any stock files if that would help make a recovery? Should I do twrp to make a backup for myself anyways?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Kutas

This procedure will not install TWRP, just play store.
It will not allow to flash another nabi rom.
By the way, since it is a different processor, they are not compatible.
We would need to port TWRP to this device and compile an specific kernel for this device...
This made my kid very happy.

I know this is an old thread with nobody paying attention to it anymore but I just revisited this topic to try again. Followed instructions (I'm pretty sure correctly). Good new is I do have play store in the list of apps but when I try to login to my Google account it just immediately gives the message "there was a problem communicating with Google servers" or something like that. Any idea what the problem might be.
If you have a device running Android MM+ and your phone has RAM < 1.5GB you can still be able to use Google Assistant without downgrading your google app.
[Method 1: Manually]
You only need a root explore and a file editor. I recommend Solid Explorer or ES file explorer
Go to /system/build.prop
Open the build.prop with note editor.
NOTE: First backup build.prop file just copy the file.
Add the below line to the bottom of the file.
Code:
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
Clear Google App data go to Settings>Apps>Google>Storage>MANAGE SPACE>CLEAR ALL DATA
Reboot
[Method 2:Using App]
Download Get Assistant Grant ROOT access within the app click Get assistant select new method then continue clear Google app data Reboot.
If this helps you just hit the Thanks button.
