I'm running Calkins deodexed ICS Fd02 ROM and I'm trying to install a transparent google search bar and transparent face book widget for my home page. I have root explorer and ES file pro and i can push the app into the system folder but when i try to install it in the system folder it starts to install but then at the ends it says did not install. Can someone help me out with this? When i overwrote the google quick search box apk it disappeared from the widgets tray. Now i have no google search bar widget at all and i really don't wanna do a restore over that. Help its personal now. I've al ready made the permissions the same. Maybe there's a way to push it with CWM?

Google search is a part of google framework service. So, clear the data/cache for both apps after you place the google search app into /system/app folder. Reboot your phone. Once after you place the google search app into /system/app folder, you need to check the permission is same as other apps in /system/app folder.

When you push a system app, you don't need to install it, just set the permissions right and reboot. Did you use a deodexed apk?

Well that doesn't work. Permissions are set right. I've rebooted. Just doesn't show up in the widgets tray or in the system applications list. Its in the system/app folder but its like its not installed on the system. I've cleared all the cashes several times and rebooted several times. Is there any way to flash it or manually install it?
