Swipe .APK

I extracted the .APK file for Swipe just in case anyone needs it. I am planning on using it once custom roms come out and i need to reinstall swipe. I have not tested this, so it may not work.

How did touchwiz get deleted? If all you did was a system restore it should still be there. I was trying to backup some system apps also with Titanium Backup, but for whatever reason they did not have .APK files, so it was a little out of my league to figure out how to do it.

How to push apk to system partition?

Im coming from a Samsung Vibrant which was my first android phone and I loved it. Now this Nexus S has found my heart but for some reason whenever I try to push an app such as the touchwiz launcher to system/app it moves the app to that folder but for some reason it doesnt install even after reboot. I tried to even reset defaults in the launcher but that was a no go. What am I doing wrong? I am running NSCollab.
try
adb install <path_to_apk>
if its on the same folder as your adb then just type the .apk
that will only install it to SD card, not SYSTEM partition
to install to SYSTEM you will need to include the APK to the ROM to be flashed

Cant you just manually place it there with some like root explorer and manually install it?
I'm just getting to add an apk to an existing rom, I'll try adb install a lil later. But to me its odd since on the vibrant all I had to do was push to system partition and restart

yes...place it in the "system/app" folder
you will see all the other apk native to your ROM in that same folder
you may have to fix permissions (r,w/r/r)

I have fixed permissions and everything but still its a no go. I dont get it, when I try to install in that directory it doesnt install. I figure this is a nexus S thing? Can anyone confirm this working?
I am running CM7 btw and after flashing my vibrant with it I am no longer able to push to system/app in order to install apk. Is this a problem or feature of CM7?
Reboot after changing permission. Btw, what app are you pushing?

I tried pushing a modded version of the touchwiz launcher from the vibrant, theres a thread here somewhere in which someone was able to push without problems.
Edit: I tried rebooting but still not working. I also tried pushing a video player which others have successfully pushed and was unable to get that working either.

Dear just download noble Rom 2.0 for s6edge and it will work
Like a charm or if u want to use it in another Rom just extract the
Whole folder velvet and give them right permission to all
Inner folders and files delete your velvet folder reboot and then
Add this folder to system private app folder by giving them right
Permission and u r good to go.
Ive been searching for this file.. downloaded a few Noble ROM's i thought might be the right one. No luck yet. I like my ROM so I'm going try to use the velvet folder method.. how do i grant those permissions?

How to Read/write to system ?

Okay so I'm trying to move some apps onto my system apps with File Explorer root is enabled and I am on a custom rom screwd to be exact. The problem is it will not let me put any apps in my system private app file folder. I tried flashing viper4android and it would not flash everytime I would flash it it wouldn't be in my app drawer. So now I'm trying to put viper4android onto my system apps but it will not let me copy it there. I figured I don't have read/write to system. I'm really not sure but if anybody knows how to get permission to write to system let me know please it's frustrating. I've tried searching for anyone with this issue but I could not find it if I am wrong please leave me to the right direction thank you

Installing .apk without root possible?

Hello,
I am wanting to install a few applications in system folder so that they get root access on an unrooted phone. I have seen that its possible to uninstall system applications using fastboot, so this makes me think that it is possible.
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
Im hoping that maybee there is a script which will take a file from the work folder and flash it into system app folder?
Thanks guys
