Wink [Tutorial]How to install apps as system apps

I've finally discovered how to install apps as system apps.

1. Download Android SDK and extract it to C:\
2. Set your cmd destination to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools {Click here for a video tutorial}
3. Put the app that you want to install in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
4. Connect your phone
5. Turn on USB debugging
6. Open cmd.exe and type in order:

adb remount
adb push yourapp.apk /system/app

7. You are done!

actually, it works, but you need to give permission to those apps. you can do it via recovery or root explorer. I did it with root explorer and it seems to work...

A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. "
