Use a file explorer (e.g. Root Explorer or ES). For some incomprehensible reason danalo considers Google Talk bloatware and doesn't keep it installed in his rom. It should be somewhere in the system/apps folder as a .bak file. Just rename it back to the .apk and you should be good to go.

Yep just goto /system/app with Root Explorer (or similar) and rename 'Talk.apk.bak' to 'Talk.apk'. Reboot and it should appear.

I've pulled it out of system and installed it as a user app so I don't have to reinstall every release.

Make sure u click that "mount R/W" button in the folder you're in. If you can't you're not rooted.

working touchqiz ux for cm9/aokp

I didn't make this but just wanted to share since it works on our device...
simply unzip the file, use root explorer to copy the lib file and the app, set app permissions correctly, install, then reboot!
my god it is smooth :O

that is why you have to set permissions correctly.
Did you move it to system/app wwith root explorer?
Make sure the top row of permissions all have check marks.(leave the others that are already checked off checked, I sometimes jusst check off all 9 permissions boxes if unsure)
Reboot your phone, and voila widgets will be working

Holy ****. I swear I tried everything. Even the Guy who ported it couldn't find a way to make it work. Thanks.

No problem man!
It's funny everyone is hating on it in the CM9 thread. Personally I find it very smooth and much different from the old touchwiz.
I have my icons themed with a CM9 theme too and I like how it keeps the theming.
I have an awesome red ics theme.

I too have tried everything under the sun even begging cursing kicking and even tried praying and I still can't get it to work.. I tried installing the zip in cwm and it didn't install tried unzipping it and dropped the apk in system app folder aannk didn't work after unzipping tried installing the apk like you would any other it showed up as an option in the launchers but when I tried to run it of course it just force closed so I tried moving the library file still force close tried fixing permissions wiping cache and dalvick cache still force close tried settings apps all touchwiz home clear data still force close. If anyone knows something I hadn't tried let me know cause until then I'm stuck like chuck... guess I'll stick with apex launcher....

Worked for everyone else so I'll give simple steps.
Use root explorer.
Copy the apk to system/app
Set permissions correctly on it (check all 9 boxes if unsure) but don't install yet
Copy the lib to system/lib
Reboot phone
Then use root explorer and go to system/app
Click on the launcher apk and choose install.
There you go

That's because you don't flash in cwm. Follow the exact instructions in post above and it will work but you have to follow them step by step no shortcuts you must do it exactly like it says.

I did flash the .zip file in CMW, and then rebooted the phone. But nothing changed ! I've done this many times, but no luck. I've just wiped out everything and done a factory reset, then got my phone ugraded to ICS, installed CMW, superuser, and tried to do this again. But it won't work. I don't know why.

These are the steps you have to do if you want this work. Even though it is a zip file you do not flash it in cwm. Its not gonna work that way. You have to extract the files so you can get the apk file and others needed to do the steps above. You will also need a file explorer that allows you to get to the system files. I used es file explorer its free on the market. Follow the steps above and this will work..

Thanks for your answers ! :d
But even though I use Es File Explorer as you recommended, I cannot set permission to the apk file. When I click install, it says Application not installed. I DONT KNOW HOW TO SET PERMISSION on it using Es File.
Do I really need Root Explorer to do this ?

System App

Hello. Firts off I have a two part question. I have a sensation 4g hboot 1.27.xxx running bruce2728 cm10 rom, s-off, 4ext recovery touch, fw3.33. I have never had any major problems with this rom. The latest update to 10/25 I lost the sound recorder app. I downloaded the apk and installed it and it shows up in the system/app folder but not in the app drawer. I have tried to install the app from es file manager as well as placing the .apk in the system/app file and rebooting with same results. My first question is in regaurd to this, how do I install this app as a system app? I have done this before with superSU but it isn't working this time. My second question is how do you know what permissions to set for an .apk? I know how to fix permissions via recovery and also how to change them with root explorer but not, how to figure out what they are supposed to be. An explanation in layman's terms please would be appreciated.

*disregard my comment. I observe i have the apk in system folder too but not appearing in the drawer. Apologize for the misunderstanding*
It will show up once you set the right permission... to know what permission to set, just check other apps permission in the same folder. I usually use root explorer, long touh the apk and select permission.
Cant upload pic. Link shows how the permission should look like.

I have checked the permissions and they were the same as all the .apks in the file and it still doesn't show up in the app drawer. I even tried to fix permissions thru recovery and after reboot, still nothing.
The permissions for everything in the file are rw-r--r--.

I cant figure out why it doesnt show on mine either. I think it is link with another app where you can record from there, the note app for example (found an info that its related to the voice command but not sure).
I did found this on GPlay. Not sure if it will work but it seems to have a good review

Edit: I tried it and it works

Thanks i'll give it a try. It worked but now I have upgraded to 10/27 and its in there.

Stock browser

Since we now have root for the verizon s6, is it possible to get the stock browser and smart manager?

In theory. I was wondering the same thing but I've been working all day so I haven't had time to try

Just tried this, the app is in the drawer but when I open it just closes.

And you correctly changed the permissions in the /system/app folder?

Yes

Check your permissions. I did it and it worked for me. Remember that the folders have different permissions than the files.

Did u move it to the priv app folder or the app folder?

Confirmed that when ALL permissions are set properly it works great! The app and the folders have different permissions like the other guy said

Just the /System/App folder. Use Root Explorer to do the permission settings. Just match what other random folders/apps permissions look like in the /System/App folder.

Thanks I got it working!!!

**edit**
Got it!

I've created a tutorial here.

I copied to /system/app, changed the permissions of the SBrowser folder, the apk, the lib folder, and each of the files inside the lib folder, but then I get this when I try to install the apk. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: I must have missed the previous post. Got it working now. Thanks!

Anyone have step by step instructions on how to get smart manager working? I followed the s4 thread, but it is not working for me.

I got the FingerPrint AutoComplete working, check out my thread over at XDA Thread Link.

-not very hopeful for this-
any chance, now that people have the stock browser with root, to get it working without root?
I really don't want to root my phone just yet...

Smart Manager

Ok in case anyone else wants to install smart manager.
From this post ( i do not take credit just sharing)
file to download. here
Unpack and put the 2 folder in system/priv-app. Set correct permissions for folders and files then reboot. (permissions= permission folders rwxr-xr-x then the apks and files rw-r-r then reboot )
The additional step we have to do being on galaxy s6 (at least what i did)
once you go into priv-app folder you will see smanager_PROVIDER....rename that folder to smanager_PROVIDE(incase for backup or issues dont delete, just rename)
then rename the 2 folder you copied into priv-app folder to smanager_PROVIDER and smanagerSDK_PROVIDER
reboot and good to go.
hope this helps
(i used root browser to make adjustments)

FINALLY .. that did it. It works. Renaming the folders did the trick. Thanks much

Worked great :good:

best guess is that you no longer have root if you took the update and why it wont work.

Actually, I just fixed it. Just looked at other apps in that folder and copied the permissions. Permissions in the OP are wrong, and that was causing my issue.
